Excellent organization
The safari was very well organized. All was on time and as promised. This relates also to additional, pre-booked elements, associated with birthday celebrations. We did have great fun!

Faultless service, attention to detail and quality of accomodations.
The communications and service from Walter was excellent, and we were continuously fully informed. The information package and book received on arrival were excellent.
We felt that we had been allocated carefully selected lodges at each camp and every detail met or exceeded our expectations.
The safari tour was wonderful, and a particular feature was the variety offered at each location which combined perfectly

Great experience
We booked our safari with Touch Africa in February. We did not want to book our trip with a international operator but a local one. After comparing a few offers from different tour operators we chose Samuel (the owner). He had the best offer concering price and included trips.
He picked us up at the Airport Kilimanjaro. We drove to Arushe, where we spent one night in a nice lodge. The day after we were picked up by our guide (Leon). He spent the rest of the safari with us. We spent 6 days visiting Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Ngrongoro Crater and Tarangire NP. We saw a lot of animals!!!! The accomodations during the trip were great. We spent 2 nights in the Haven Nature Camp and Lodge), 2 nights in the Four Seasons Serengeti Lodge, 1 in the Ngrorongoro Crater Lodge. On the 7th day we met Samuel again. We drove to his maasai village, where he was born and his whole family still lives. We had the pleasure to stay one night and half a day in his village. It was a great experience getting to know the real maasai life.
After the maasai home stay we drove to Moshi (accomodation: Backpackers Hotel), where we attended a coffee tour at the Kilimanjaro - we made our own coffee. In the afternoon we hiked to a waterfall.
All in all we had a great time in Tanzania with Touch Africa. We felt very safe with Samuel and his team.

The Safari has been perfect.
Who we are ?
We are in our 50's. My wife is a good non professional photographer, I am non professional photographer and I care videos. We love travelling. 2 years ago, we had the Route 66 in USA. Last year we had Transiberiana by train (Moscow-UlaanBaatar-Beijing) .
We had (before this holiday) experiences in Botswana, Zimbabwe,South Africa,Namibia, travelling on our own. Of course we Love nature and animals. In Tanzania we had 2 weeks of safari, planned with Mr. Roberto.
Communications : All the Pre-Safari has been perfect. Every time I asked for something by mail I received a quick answer. Renata and I, we never felt 'alone' or 'forgotten'. The advices of Mr. Roberto and Mrs. Floriana made the safari perfect. Always follow their advices, they really know their job and the environment of Tanzania.
Service :
- Car : the car made it's job and it it was as we expected . Perfect on the difficult roads of the parks, it allowed us to take pictures as we desired. Drinks always available and cold. Recharge of the cameras on the car. Just don't forget to bring on your own a couple of AC Adaptors. We never felt in danger.
- Hotels/Tent/Food : Perfect organization. The tented camps were in wonderful positions, the people working there always very nice. The food was always very good, the food boxes too. We never suffered from stomach diseases. Remember to bring from your country stuff enough for mosquitos and Tze-Tze. Never black or blue dresses/shirts and so on. The beds allowed us a great rest. High quality rooms, confortable tents. Unforgettable showers. Bring on your own a lamp that helps in tented camps (anyway they provide it) . Never felt in danger, animals are not interested in tents. Always do what locals advice you to do.
- Guide : The most important 'role' in our holiday. We spent 2 weeks side by side with Mr. Yudathadei Lyimo. A true professionist. Safe guide, skilled in difficult roads, always on time. He brough us to see everything. 5 Leopards seen ( I saw just 1 Leopard in all of the previous holidays) , many Cheetas, and we lost the count of Lions. And we can't forget the experience of the Great Migration of Gnu. Don't miss it.
From the professional point of view, Mr. Yudathadei is a rare example of professionality. Always in the right place with a safe skilled drive. Always in the perfect car position (sometime in the crowd of cars) for us to take pictures and admire animals.
Beside the great job of Mr. Yudathadei, he is a smart and skilled person (with a deep sensibility) who teached us a bit of the nice Tanzanian culture. My wife and me, we always said that our family grew up of one unity, during the holiday, with Yudathadei. A nice person to share 2 weeks with. And keep in touch.
- Safari : I hope I transferred to the reader the enthusiasm for the safari itself. About the country, North Tanzania is simply astonishing. Even the small parks has always something special, they deserve being visited. Animals are great, and the environment unforgettable.
Expectations : Excellent holiday. Tanzania helps, it is already wonderful on its own. Mr Roberto and Mrs. Floriana planned a nice escalation of emotions. Mr. Yudathadei made real the emotions.
If we will have again the chance to come back to Tanzania, of course we will contact Savannah Explorers again.

Awesome! I really enjoyed Masaimara safari tour!
When I contacted Wild Safaris and travel by e-mail, Tom replyed quickly and kindly.
The first impression was so good and Tom handled my request very well.
He is very kind and very good person.
That's why I chose the Masaimara and Nakuru tour for 3nights & 4days in this travel agency even the price is higher than other.
I saw lot's of animals and Big Five!
The driver (his name is animal :-)) is also very good and I really enjoyed safari tour.
The tended camp was not very good but it is reasonable for this tour.
It is very good experience and I'll never forget.
Service, comminications, Safari tour, food, etc...
Everything was great!
I'm really thanks to Tom and I strongly recommend this travel agency.

I had the best time of my life thanks to Wildness Safari!
My friend and I booked a private tour with Wildness Safari at the beginning of September, and had an absolutely incredible time! We planned on doing the southern circuit of Tanzania for 13 days/12 nights, spending time at Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park, and Selous Game Reserve during our trip.
I cannot comment on the behind-the-scenes as my friend handled all the bookings for this trip, but it was his third time using Wildness Safaris, so that is definitely saying something about the good service they provide! The owner, Ahmed was very accommodating with our needs from the start, and the tour he helped us plan was very well organised.
Our guide Rajab was phenomenal throughout the entire trip, going out of his way to make sure that we had a good experience and saw as much wildlife as possible. He was very knowledgeable about the various birds and wildlife in the different areas, and his ability to spot the animals so effortlessly was mind-blowing. This was certainly a major advantage of choosing to book a guided tour instead of a self-drive option, as I can guarantee that we would have missed out on a lot more sightings!
The camps we stayed at were very tranquil with the basic facilities needed. They were all situated outside the parks, but within a short 30 minute (maximum) drive from the main gates. Wildness Safaris arranged for a chef to travel with us during the trip so we didn't have to worry about anything, and we were spoiled with the food that was prepared for us - really delicious !
We saw loads of wildlife during our trip, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, greater kudu, wildebeest, bush buck, impala, as well and many different bird species. Wildness Safari also helped us book a boat cruise and walking safari, both of which I would highly recommend.
It was my first time to Tanzania and I can honestly say that I had one of the best experiences of my life, and it was all thanks to Wildness Safaris! Their staff are very friendly, guides are knowledgeable and skilled, and the tours are very well organized - highly recommended!
I left a piece of my heart in Tanzania, and I hope I get the chance to go back there! And if I do, I will definitely use this company again! Special thanks to Ahmed, Rajab and our chef, Leonard!

African Safari to Kenya and Tanzania with a stop in Zanzibar
Service from Africa Safari Classics was excellent, I never had to wait long for a reply and no question was too small to get an answer. The booking and payment were also easy.
I can't say enough about how great our safari experience was! We loved all of the accommodation, food, game drives and abundance of wildlife. We saw the big five in each country, and each country had very special moments (baby elephants in Amboseli and a leopard close up in Serengeti). Accommodation at the Dongwe Ocean View hotel in Zanzibar was beyond excellent! The staff took such great care of us and the food and room were wonderful, definitely want to visit there again!
Boni and Saidi our safari guides were both fantastic, we really bonded with Boni in Kenya and he went out of his way to find us the big cats, even staying out later than the majority of other guides, so that we could find the leopard in Maasai Mara. We really enjoyed Boni's sense of humor and he fit in so well with our family. We'd love to do another Kenyan safari with him.
Saidi, our guide in Tanzania was excellent too, he was very friendly and knowledgeable and was excellent at finding the animals, he took us out an extra time to see cheetahs after everyone had left so we could get better pictures. Both drivers were very security conscious and took measures to make sure we were safe at wash room and banking stops and Boni went through the border checkpoint to Tanzania with us to make sure we were safe.
We are already planning our next safari since we had such a great time on this one, we're thinking of Uganda and Kenya for next time. I would definitely book through African Safari Classics, we felt so taken care of. It was so great to see you, Maurice, at the hotel and talk to you at points throughout the safari, we knew we could reach you at any time if we had a problem, although we had no issues.
I would highly recommend Africa Safari Classics for your safari. I always include the excellent service we got from you in my safari stories. Book your trip with Maurice at Africa Safari Classics and sit back, relax and enjoy your safari!!

Another unforgettable experience!
This was my second safari with Godfrey. I loved it yet again! I have nothing bad to say about any of it. It was well organized, fun, and unforgettable. I enjoyed the safari guide, accommodations, food, company, and all the extra little details I was not expecting. This trip was well worth the money. I would encourage everyone to go with African Traits for all of their adventures. I have also gone on the Moshi tour with Godfrey and loved it as well. Thank you for everything!
