Incredible experience, beautiful, customized and professional
Excellent experience, the tour was adapted to my needs and met all expectations. The organizers were very professional and also very friendly. I would do it again any time and warmly recommend it to all who want to discover Kenya and its natural beauties.

Excellent!
Exceeded our expectations.
Our first morning we had an unexpected meeting with Robert and Ester. It was really nice to meet them in person and to know who to contact if we had questions. A good start of our week in Kenia. We travelled with David and had a great time with him. An excellent guide and a true host.

Excellent tour guides!
Without a doubt, my favorite tour! Staajabu Africa tour guides went to great length to provide my boyfriend and I with experience beyond our expectations. We not only visited world-famous reserves and parks like Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro but enjoyed the views on a hot air balloon! We also went to beautiful beaches in Zanzibar and Mombasa and explored their cultural and historical sites. Visits to historical sites can be overwhelming but our guides were enormously knowledgeable, professional and were wonderful hosts. All respect for Staajabu Africa - a true example of an amazing tour guide. I highly recommend to friends and family; you will not be disappointed!

Dream vacation!
We chose Tazama Holidays for taking care of our honeymoon and dream trip to Kenya, first because of the company’s great reviews; second because of the always open and reassuring conversations with Anthony, the owner; third because of the fair quote he gave us for a 13-day Safari trip. I have to say that it wasn’t easy to put my honeymoon in the hands of somebody I had never seen, since we are used to always planning every small detail of our trips ourselves. But oh my, I don’t regret I booked my dream trip (of which I have been dreaming about since I’m 13 years’ old) with Tazama.
Following Anthony’s expertise, we decided to do Samburu, Olpejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West.
Anthony made sure that we had comfortable and beautiful hotels, to which we were always excited to go back to at the end of the game drives. We couldn’t believe the quality of the hotels. He also made sure we had a honeymoon treatment in every new destination, meaning we received many loving surprises in the hotels, from wine bottles to beds covered in roses. He also organized the most amazing sundown at a conservancy in Masai Mara, knowing that we were dying to book a sundowner!
We were lucky enough to also have Anthony as our guide and driver. He conducted us in safety through rough roads, mud and water. Considering the condition of some roads inside and outside the parks (it rained quite a bit through some days), we were impressed how he always kept the car so clean for us everyday.
Anthony is also an excellent certified guide, whose knowledge and patience earned us the most memorable moments! In Samburu, for example, while other cars left, Anthony insisted we stayed with a seemingly sleeping leopard. I don’t know how he does it, but it’s like he knew something would happen. A few minutes later, we saw the leopard roar and attack a dik dik! We were the only ones who witnessed that on that day. Other amazing moments: we watched lionesses communicate, elephants having a mud bath, a buffalo challenge lions’ territory, the five famous cheetah “brothers” of Masai Mara hunt, elephants trumpeting, a leopard on top of a tree eating a kill, hippos playing, baby cheetahs and the cutest baby leopard!
Anthony’s expertise of the animals will also give you the best views to the animals. It’s like he knows their next steps, and he positions the car in a way that, at first, might not make sense, but then you get marveled that the animals cross right in front of you or pass by just next to you. That’s called a guide’s experience.
Anthony is very committed to his job, and you can see in details that he is just not doing a job, he WANTS us to have the best experience we can have, and he always does his best for it. For example, we were so impressed when, in Tsavo West, he called our room in the hotel to rush us to the car to go see a leopard with a kill up on a tree. This was around 2pm and we only had a scheduled game drive for 4pm. We stayed with the leopard for about 30 min, and we still did the normal game drive at 4. Anthony didn’t want us to miss on anything. Many times he would hear something on the radio and rush for us to see something amazing, no matter how far.
Apart from being an amazing guide, who taught us so much during the whole trip about animal behavior, curiosities, and life in Kenya, Anthony is an amazing human being. You can see it in the way that he helps other drivers, and cares about the tourists in other cars, always making sure no tourists’ views were blocked and placing the car in a way that we could have the best views as well as others around us. When my husband fell ill towards the end of the trip, Anthony also made sure he was given the medical attention he needed, and made himself available for us 24/7. He also constantly asked about how my foot was doing, since I stepped on a needle plant on the first day of our vacation.
A tip for other travelers: book directly with the company. I know it’s scary to send money to another country, to somebody you don’t know. We were a bit scared at first too, but everything worked great!
I can’t wait for our next vacations with Tazama Holidays (the company covers other African countries as well!). Thank you, Anthony, for making this the trip of our lives.

Incredible Pilanesberg Private Safari Tour – 5 Star
I am so glad that I booked with Mmilo Tour. Patrick was very helpful and provided all the information that I had requested. Booking and paying for the private tour was seamless. My guide (Willem) was incredibly knowledgable regarding the terrain and wildlife. He also helped me capture some amazing photos. Willem was very helpful and persistent in attempting to find as much wildlife as possible. I got to see 4 of the Big 5 that day (only the Leopard evaded us – we checked with other groups and none had seen one that day). All in all a 5 star experience from start to finish and I can’t recommend enough.

A fantastic trip in stunning surroundings.
Traditional huts with western comforts, set in stunning surroundings. We did an evening sunset boat trip and then spent a day on safari. The drivers were very knowledgeable and good fun we saw so many animals. What a perfect time we had. The staff were very helpful and made sure all dietary requirements were met (gluten free), nothing was too much trouble. I will defiantly be returning.

A wonderful and unforgettable experience
Travelled in complete autonomy but with an extremely reliable organization behind us: route, hotel, plane, Safari ... everything seemed easy to us and we felt no insecurity while respecting the safety instructions.
Superb Safari in Simbavati River Lodge, where we were really one with nature thanks to the open land rover and a lodge in the image of Africa.
Thanks to SWA for this amazing trip .
