Review about Tarangire National Park by Olga Solovyeva
There really is a lot of baobabs. It is necessary to look.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Olga Solovyeva
We were bitten by a tse-tse fly. This left an unpleasant impression of the safari.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Olga Solovyeva
Ngorongoro Crater has more advertising. In the crater there are not so many animals as the guidebooks write.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Olga Solovyeva
There are not many animals here. This is not a big park.

It's great if it were not for the Tsetse fly
The nature of Tanzania is beautiful. We had an excellent guide who showed us a diverse animal world. Hotels on the safari were not bad, but the hotels in the country itself are terrible. In general, the safari was pleasant.

Without this company my dream of seeing the Gorillas wouldn't be complete.
I found Martz Safaris through Safari Bookings. Our budget wasn't very big, and every other company was quoting huge prices just to see the gorillas. This was my last item on my quest to complete 101 Dreams Come True. Martz worked within my budget, and gave me more than I could've asked for while helping me to complete my final dream - to see the Gorillas in the wild.
I was skeptical before booking because there weren't many reviews. I'm so happy I took the chance.
They took care of every detail from start to finish, making certain my friend and I were treated like queens. The personal touches, the itinerary created just for us, our guide Kassim (please request him when you book), were all fantastic. By the end Moses, who set up the entire tour, became a friend, as did Kassim. We felt like we were able to see and know the real Uganda, and I'm forever grateful for this experience. I can't wait to return.
I highly recommend you work with this local company compared to overpriced foreign companies. They may not have many reviews, but soon they will be known as one of the best.

Our tour guide, Kassim, made this the trip of a lifetime!
Kassim, has to be the greatest guide I've ever experienced. I've traveled to 39 different countries and I was skeptical about doing any type of tour. Kassim changed my opinion. He took care of every detail and was knowledgeable about every aspect of our trip. He made certain we were with the best group to have an incredible gorilla experience. We were on a very tight budget, but somehow the tour felt like we saw and did more than other people we met on much more expensive tours. Kassim helped us to understand the local culture, spoke honestly with us about his country and his love for it. By the end, I considered him my friend. We had many long drives that included much laughter.
If you want the greatest experience of Uganda I highly suggest Kassim and his company to guide you. This way you will experience the country not just be an observer.

Well planned, exciting, and fun.
During our stay we spent a good majority of our time with tour guides and experts Martin and Andre. Both of these guys were certainly experts and professionals. Every day was planned out perfectly to hit essentials and see anything and everything possible. An important aspect to me was how passionate they were for this job. Their dedication to their communities and passion for their job was easily noticeable. This made the trip that much more informational and enjoyable. Our trip to Eastern Africa did not disappoint in any way shape or form. After the trip I immediately knew I planned on heading back to Africa and staying in touch with our guides and their company.

Very good safari experience
It was our first safari so it's hard to compare but I think everything was OK. Jalala (probably the owner) responded very fast to every question and offered a good price for us. Accommodation in Panorama Campsite was very good with beautiful view over Lake Manyara. The best part of our safari was the Ngorongoro Crater. I was amazed by the number of animals living there. Also Tarangire National Park surprised us pleasantly. We were satisfied with both, our guide and cook. The only drawback from my point of view was the deposit payment - international bank transfer, especially from my country, is really expensive, maybe it would be useful to find another way of payment such as credit card or PayPal.

Professionalism from start to finish.
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Snow Africa Adventures was an experience that we highly recommend. As a tour operator from the USA, we often view how a tour is handled with different eyes. As this review was titled -from the pick up at the airport, to our final hugs goodbye, our experience could not have run smoother or be any better. Florent, Snow Africa's owner/operator made sure that all details were executed perfectly and his staff of guides and porters were not only professional, but they were all so enjoyable to be with, especially when they sang to us! We felt safe at all times under their care. The equipment provided for the campsite was top quality and the food served was excellent. After a successful summit, we finished our African adventure with 3 days of safari. It was an amazing journey - one that we will want to repeat again, and again! We loved it!
