A never to be forgotten African adventure
We booked a two week Tanzanian safari with Roho Ya Chui and our experience from the beginning was exceptional. We researched many different companies and costs and our interaction with Ute was always informative and honest, which we appreciated. We were very clear about the itinerary we wanted, and our needs, and she successfully put together a programme that exceeded our expectations. The lodges were all very different - some more modern, some more basic - but they all catered for our needs and everywhere we went the people were incredible. Despite our dietary requirements, we were looked after well and always with the kindness and hospitality that east Africa is famous for. Our guide was an excellent driver, addressed all the administrative needs of the trip, was easy to be around and took care of all our needs and requests. We travelled with our two daughters, who were well looked after wherever we went. My favourite accommodation was Serengeti Kati-Kati, which was 'simple' but a beautiful 'Out of Africa' experience and the most phenomenal wildlife sightings. Another highlight was climbing Oldoinyo Lengai near Lake Natron - which was very challenging but a wonderful accomplishment. We celebrated some significant family moments on this trip and it was a truly well organised and magical experience.

Locally owned but it is a great and reliable company.
I have Just returned from a fantastic trip again with Cul Tours and Safaris. It is the ninth time in the last five years we use Stevens company to get around in Uganda. This time we visited many craft groups and on the way back to Kampala we made a shortcut through Murchison Falls National Park and were lucky to get a glimpse of a leopard. We can only recommend using Stephen and Cul Tours and Safaris as organizers, whether you plan your trip yourselves or let him do it. You can rely 100% on him. We come back later this year and certainly next year.

With Bahati International Tours and Safaris I had a really good expeience in Serengeti and Arusha.
The team at Bahati was really patient and well informed of the scenery and animal patterns.

Very well organised, good price-value level
We (couple of 60 and 54 years) booked a 20 days private tour with Matoke, including Ziwa Rhino S., Murchinson Falls NP, Kibale NP with Chimps Tracking, 4 days Rwenzori Trekking, Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable NP, Vulcano Hike on Mt. Muhavura in Mgahinga NP, Mburo Lake NP and Mabambwa Swamp.
Our Driver-Guide was very knogledgable, friendly and a safe driver. The car was very reliable and we didn't even have a puncture. The chosen accomodations were very good, the food sometimes even excellent.
We had a wonderful trip which fulfilled our expectations.

The entire experience exceeded my expectations.
From our initial communication to the moment I was dropped off, the experience was consistent and flawless. The safari was exactly as described, educational and fun. The team was personable and went the extra mile to ensure the trip was memorable. I would recommend Seven By Far Travel to any friends or family visiting Kenya.

The best experience with memories of a lifetime
We went as a family on safari with Flash Safaris in June 2014. Two of us had been on safari before and for the others it was their first time. Tanzania had our preference, since this is THE land of the famous Serengeti and the Ngorogoro Crater. In our opinion a must see! We have send out requests to several safari operators, but Flash Safaris was the one that made us feel the comfortable partner to book with. They were able to answer our questions/requests in a good, adequate and efficient way. Not that we had that many ‘demands’, but since it is a not an everyday experience you want to have reassurance.
Once in Tanzania, the owner (Edward) himself awaited us at the airport. The next day Edward took us into Arusha town. This was a nice surprise and not something we had expected, but an absolute pleasant experience. Being with the comforting and always smiling Edward, we felt in good hands! He also took us to a restaurant where we ate some very tasty meat. Don't know the name anymore, but 'njiamo tjomo' or something. Try it!
The safari itself was truly an amazing experience. Rajab was our guide, we met him the day before already. He is a very knowledgeable guide and we were impressed by his driving skills and finding the way in the parks; he must have been driving the area for many years already. We did not see many other vehicles in the park, which made it even more special. Flash Safaris had selected mostly tented lodges which were all an amazing experience. Job well done Flash! One night we even had elephants next to the tent! And the food we got was delicious.
When we arrived in Arusha we were welcomed by Magda, the other owner of Flash Safaris. She is from the Netherlands, but lives in Tanzania already for many years and also has an extensive knowledge of organizing safaris. The whole team of Flash Safaris gave us the feeling that they really cared about us and truly organized a safari of a lifetime (beyond expectation I must say). They really know what they are doing and we appreciated their honest feedback on our queries. All in all a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Flash Safaris to others!
We hope to return to Tanzania one day. Edward and Magda are the best!

Amazing Safari - Amazing Meals - Amazing Hosts
What you see on the website is what get (only better)! Our group of 15 (8 adults 7 kids) from Canada got picked up from our hotel in Jo-Burg and to our amazement all of our luggage fit in the vehicles. The truck was roomy, comfy and offered great game viewing due to it's height and huge windows. Both Chris and Nicky accomadated all our requests which were plentiful due to our large group. Both were pleasant, knowledge and extremely hardworking. Chris was very meticulous and organized which made our trip run smoothly. We heard that the food was good, but is was delicious! Chris was a gourmet chef and prepared more than enough for us for each meal. All of the camping supplies (tents, chairs, pillows etc) were in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone. Thanks for the amazing experience!

Outstanding Safari Experience
I chose option - three days in a tent. I prefer to have a contact with nature than luxury hotels. Great service - and special thanks to FJ, who showed tremendous professionalism. Great food! Fantastic Dinner times - super delicious local cuisine and wine (good chief). Great evening atmosphere. Tents were too luxurious :) comfortable beds and AC plugs (camera and phone - with full bars service - optional internet in the restaurant in Sukuza) Safari games in small groups so You dont need to worry about seats. Safari is based on luck so I had a good luck. Big 5 checked + Leopard killing Impala next to us!!! Next time I will stay longer. For a last day I recomend Blyde River Canyon!!! The most beautiful Canyon I've ever seen in my life. Great scenic route. I would definitely recommend Safari Outlook.

Safari - the easy way
From the first moment we contacted Encompass things were superb. They helped choose where to go based on animals we wanted to see while accommodating specific places we wanted to go as well. All the staff were incredibly knowledgeable & helpful. We booked a 5 week private safari so were constantly travelling (mostly by landcruiser). The guides we had were amazing in finding animals for us. Accommodation was mostly safari tents but extremely well appointed. Food was terrific. We had a superb time & Encompass made it so easy to book & enjoy. Highly recommended
