3 weeks cross-country cycling Tanzania
We did a cross-country cycling trip from Bagamoyo to Kigoma and it was the best experience ever. We were 6 of us and accompanied by a crew of 'Zuri Tours and Safaris' who went out of their way to make it all happen as it was not an easy trip. I have to admit we were not well-trained so physically it was a tough start but our bodies adjusted fairly quickly and we got stronger every day. Surely also because of the excellent care of the Zuri team. Guided by their support, their humor and their being there for us, we made it to the finish line (1200 kms) even a few days early!
The professional team of Zuri had very well prepared for the trip; the cars accompanying us, the camping sites and the camping equipment, the bikes, the stops during cycling, the hotels, the food, the safaris (we saw 4 out of the big 5!), medical care, simply everything. They cooked for us several times per day and I have actually tried to put their cook in my suitcase and bring him home; his food was amazing… The lovely guys were always there to make sure we felt safe, at home and warmly welcomed into their family.
Tanzania itself is stunning and its people are so friendly and warm.
So what else is there than to just do it; book that adventure with Zuri! They will make it a life changing experience for you.

Fantastically efficient from the planning right through to the safari experience, highly recommend!
After emailing a few other safari operators, Anne at Amazing Memories impressed me with her efficiency and ability to organise a trip suitable within my specified budget for 2 adults & our two teenage boys. On arrival at Nairobi we were met by Anne & Joseph and met our safari driver/guide Daniel. We had the most fantastic week , early mornings, very long journeys sometimes on very bumpy roads but worth it all to see the wildlife in 5 national parks/reserves, Masai Mara being our favourite followed by 1 night at Lake Navaisha (a unique experience not to be missed) All the lodges/tented camps were of a high quality as was the food! Daniel was an excellent driver/guide and ensured we saw the big 5 which we were lucky to see in the first couple of days! We were sad to leave him in Mombasa after our adventures together. I can highly recommend this company, fantastic from the planning stage, booking process and during our trip!

Safari camping tour
We are a couple and went on a 5 day safari - 3 nights camping. We were accompanied by four other people in the car + driver and cook (knowing that we spend a lot of time in it, the place was a bit limited). The safari was definitely worth it, we saw all the animals of the "Lion King" as in this movie. We were amazed every day!
Regarding camping, it is very basic and the facilities are rudimentary. The kitchen was not always up to standard (sometimes not enough, the lunches to be absolutely reviewed and the nonchalance of the cook). The guide is obviously more of a driver than an experienced guide but he was very kind and attentive.
Overall we enjoyed Safari for everything we discovered, nights spent in the savannah with the starry sky and beautiful encounters.
Good value for money.

Well organised and wonderful visit to Vic Falls and Hwange National Parc
Nyati Travel and Tours (especially Terence Mutsvanga) thank you very much for organizing our trip. Me and my wife, we enjoyed our stay at Vic Falls and Somalisa Camp enormously. In particular, in Somalisa the staff was very friendly and helpful. The quality of facilities was excellent. The game drives were wonderful and the guides excellent. The trip fully answered to our expectations.

Amazing Kilimanjaro trekking
Not only does GideonTanzania Safari organise excellent safari experiences, they will also facilitate trekking on Kilimanjaro, through their connections with Kili Heroes. We cannot fault their service and support: their communications were always quick and the information provided comprehensive, they provided attention to detail. We had an amazing time and an experience we will treasure, but we could not have done it without the team of people who were right behind us. And when one of us had to go down early, they were there with their support all the way. Thank you for a fantastic time!

So wonderful gorilla watching!
We had a one week trek to see gorillas in Uganda and Congo, and it was really breathtaking! It is a unique experience and everything went really fine thanks to the team.
Our guide (Ceasar) for the week was really friendly and efficient. If we had small requests, he was always trying to fulfil them. Jackie (with whom we booked the tour) was kindly phoning regularly to inquire whether everything was fine. It was like being with two more friends.
Definitively something to try!

Excellent 5-day tour with 2 gorilla tracks (one in Uganda and one in DRC).
We had a 5-day tour with Katona with 2 gorilla tracks (one in Uganda and one in DRC). Both were amazing and different. Jackie was extremely helpful all the time with fast replies, accommodating all our needs. We felt safe during the trip. The guides (Ceasar and Chibe) were great. We only wish we had an extra day in Goma to climb the volcano.

What an amazing experience in Kenya and Tanzania!!!
It was a stunner of a trip with Wildebeest Safaris
1) Accommodation - We stayed at 5-6 different accommodations every day (Mara Eden, Mara West, Bush camp etc.) and each and every accommodation was one better than the other.
2) Food - Me and my wife are vegetarian and we were wondering if we will have enough food options. Fortunately, we did ate plate full. Although, the packed food that one takes for lunches can be improved.
3) Tour guide - Both Denise and Mike made our gaming experience absolutely worthy. There knowledge, experience and above all the passion for what they do was visible throughout. We saw all the big fives from just a hand away; like I could pat them if I wanted:).
Overall worth every bit!!
Things to avoid - Masai village trip
Must carry - Binoculars

Well organized and customer oriented
Me and my family did a two day Safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro National Park. Since African Travel Tour is a very small organization I was directly in contact with the managing director and owner Abraham Akyoo. The communication with him was very smooth and he organized everything we requested. Another plus was the price-service ratio. African Travel Tour offered the best price because they organize shared Safaris which is more fun anyhow, because you get to know people and you are not alone in a big car. One minus, which all the agencies do, they bring you to these fancy tourist shops where you can buy highly priced crafts which usually cost a portion of it. Otherwise me and my family were happy to have booked our trip through African Travel Tour.

We have completed a Safari tour with Magical Retreats and Adventures and are very pleased.
We have completed a Safari tour with Peter form 25th to 31st December. He has been very helpful and courteous and taken us to Amboselli and Masai Mara reserves.
