Best Trip ever with our Guide Hoppy!
We did the 4 Day Safari at the Ende of our SA trip and it was one of the Most memorable and amazing tours we did so far. The tour is very welk organized with nice accomodations in the Park, good food and most importantly we had an awesome guide who made the trip perfect! Hoppy is very experienced and such a Kind and fun Person to spend time with that it almost felt like driving through the park with a friend. We saw so much because of his experience and we learned even more from what je knew about the park and all the animals. We can 100% recommend the tour and would definitely do it again the next time we come to SA. Ask for Hoppy as your guide because no Hoppy, no holiday :) thank you for this great trip!

Amazing trip with amazing guides
Had an awesome time with World Tours. The email correspondence right from the first email was always fast and welcoming. Once we arrived to Arusha everything was set up and easily done for us. Mr. Richard was very nice and very helpful. The guide and cook were amazing people. Gadi cooked delicious and plentiful meals while Frank our guide (Frank the Tank) knew all the hotspots and we saw all the animals we could think of. The tents and sleeping arrangements were top notch, it even rained heavily one night and seeing that our tent held up (compared to some other "popular" tour company's tents) was found to have 3 additional people sleep in it!. Would definitely recommend World Tour Safari to anyone who'd want to do a safari.

one of the best Trips we ever Took!
We took a 4 Day Safari in November - it was one of the Most memorable and amazing trips we did! Hoppy was our Guide which was the best that could have happened to us. He is a very experienced and Most importantly kind and friendly Person. We can recommend the safari 100% - ask for Hoppy as your guide! We enjoyed the entire Trip so much since Hoppy knows where to go and See really amazing things, he can track the animals and is also a fun and interesting Person to Chat with. The Tour is really well planned with nice accomodations in the park, good food and so much to See! Try to do at least 4 days, it's worth it.
The next Time we come to SA we would definitely so this Tour again, but only with Hoppy because no Hoppy no Holiday :)
Thanks a lot for this experience

Very well done!
We used Chris for a multi-park visit to Tanzania last week. He was pleasant, professional, informative and well prepared. I would recommend him without hesitation.

The best of Tanzania!
I was leading a mission trip to Tanzania, and wanted to end our work with a safari. I have traveled to Uganda many times, but this was my first in TZ, and since I was leading a group, I did a ton of research. I was booking our first night in TZ to stay at the Honey Badger and found out they also run Milestone Safaris. From my very first email, (and I think by the time of the safari there were about 30!) I felt totally comfortable dealing with Jenny and Joseph. They very patiently answered all of my questions, when you are in charge of taking other people it is a bit more stressful than just going yourself. I was very much at peace by the time we were ready for our safari.
Jenny and Joseph were very accommodating about meeting my team on the road back to Arusha. We had been working in south/west of the game parks, and didn't have to make the journey back to Arusha. When we arrived at our meeting spot "Jungle George" was there to greet us, and we quickly knew we were in good hands! I am not sure what I expected but I did not anticipate the high quality of the vehicle we would be traveling in for the next three days! I totally understand it does not always work out this way, but with in the first hour of our safari Tarangire, we saw a lion eating a zebra, two lions mating, and a parade of 16 elephants walked right across our path! There is no way they can promise sites like these, but it is clear that George is well liked among the other safari drivers, and other drivers were happy to share info with him about the location of the animals. We enjoyed a delicious boxed lunch that had been packed for us, overlooking the most beautiful vista. The first day of our safari went way above our expectations.
We spent the first night at Maramboi Tented Camp, first class service from the moment we pulled in! We were greeted with a cold drink and warm towel, while they transported our luggage to our tents. We were able to enjoy a refreshing swim while watching the sunset across the plains. Dinner was a delicious buffet that had lots of both western and African specifies. Our tent had a huge bathroom, dressing room, comfortable bed and spacious porch overlooking the plains. After a delicious breakfast, we were able to instruct the chef on the packed lunch we would take with us for the second day of our journey.
The second day took us to Ngorongor Crater. I have been blessed to have traveled much of the world, and this was truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! We stopped at the top of the crater to enjoy the view, before starting the journey to the bottom of the crater. I did not think George would be able to top what we had seen the day before, but he surprised us yet again! We were able to watch a pride of 16 lions be taunted by a warthog, they must of just eaten, because they were not interested in eating him! We were able to get very close to many animals, especially the zebras that would walk right up to our vehicle.
We spent our second night at Endoro Lodge, a completely different experience from the tented camp but equally as beautiful! The service and food were excellent.
We left the Endoro Lodge the next morning with our packed lunches. I was so impressed that Jenny and Joseph would choose two completely different experiences for our overnight stay! We left in the morning for our return to Arusha, but not before George took us to a Massai village for a tour, and dance. It was a perfect end to a wonderful experience!
My team headed back to the States and I stayed for a couple more days at the Honey Badger Lodge, which was a perfect place to unwind from my mission! I can not recommend Milestone Safaris enough, they were wonderful from the first email, to the drop off at the airport.

A once in a lifetime experience...
My co-workers and I joined 3 other under guide Sue's watchful eye. We saw SO many animals... and of course the Big 5. We spent 2 nights in Kruger, then the last in a private resort. Kruger was rustic accommodations, but adequate... and interesting, including the Baboon that visited our unit when we werent there!! He ate all of my cough drops. Sue kept firm control of us rookies... demanding on-time appearances from us all. She also rotated us every safari (3 a day) so that everyone had a chance to be in a different row on the safari vehicle. Sue is really an eagle-eye, and we saw many animals that don't normally make an appearance. She was very informative, fun, and excellent at her job... we learned so much about South Africa, wildlife, and South African history. I will never forget this experience. Sue was an excellent driver, only wish she wouldn't turn around to look at us while talking and driving... although no issues, just a bit uncomfortable.
Wildlife Safaris was excellent in explaining all their options, and responded immediately to any questions we had while making the arrangements... Thanks Christine!
I plan to take my husband back again later this year, and would deal with no other company than WS... Thanks!!

awesome roadtrip northern Tanzania
We have great memories of our roadtrip with Flash Safaris. Our guide, Roger, was very profesional and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Tanzania is impressive! The landscapes, the animals, nothing like I'd ever seen before. I must be honoust I was nervous traveling to Africa for the first time and I didn't know what to expect. It is kind of a culture shock when you travel from Europe to Africa for the first time. But Flash Safaris thought about everything so we got to know the country and the culture 'step by step'. I loved it and I can recommend anyone in good health and flexibility in mind and spirit to go there!

Great overall experience!
From the first email inquiry, Rama Mo answered all my questions, worked with me to get exactly what I wanted at a fair price - much more so than ANY other operator I contacted. I was a little afraid of paying everything up,front and being left in the lurch. Not to worry! Rama was waiting for me before the appointed time, introduced me to Soencer, my driver and guide and we were off! Stayed st the Mikumi Wildlife came - great place, so defaul rooms, excellent and abundant food!). Soencer took exceptional care of me, dealing with a few unexpected challenges in a professional and safe manner. I highly recommend Gecko Adventures for safari planning in Tanzania!

Wonderful, it was marvelous the guy delivers what he promises and beyond.
It was our honeymoon, in the beginning I was skeptical about the idea of doing safari but with Kanuth and his guide Vumi we experienced the best time in our life. From the first day till the last in our 7 days safari we were enjoying every moment in the game drive and the accommodation which really exceeded our expectations. Well done Kanuth and Vumy and thank you so much for adding the joy to our wonderful event and an unforgettable memories.

Beyond our expectations
We just got back from our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with Java Safari. The trip was a realisation of childhood dream and it exceeded all expectations. The country is stunning and the wildlife spectacular. Java safari was amazing in creating the perfect itinerary. The order of parks visited and the array of different lodges and camps we stayed at, truly maximised the experience. I would highly recommend visiting the country and travelling with Java safari.
