They are the best tour operators in Tanzania - experienced and professional and fun!
This was one of the best weeks of my life! The Alpine Chat crew was amazing - they picked us up from the airport and arranged lodging on either end of the trip for us. The guides, porters, and cook on the trip were all top notch - entertaining, fun, supportive, and helped make the experience so incredible. I would 100% recommend alpine chat to anyone looking to hike Kili with an experienced and great crew.

Amazing Experience
Hodari Afrika Safaris was an incredible Safari which i did with my Friends.The process of booking was really smooth and all went as planned. From pickup to drop off .It was indeed an Unforgettable experience thanks to our guide John, who was very helpful ,informative and had passionate about Wildlife and did a great job to making sure we could see the big 5 and other animals so close. We had very comfortable lodges especially in Maasai Mara which was our favorite :) where we had a private Chef who prepared fresh meals for us everyday.
Every Moment felt like a unique encounter .Thanks Sam and your Team for the Perfekt Organization
We can highly recommend Hodari Afrika Safaris

Absolutely first class day out never to be forgotten
Carlsberg don't do Tarangire safaris...but MIGRATION VENTURE AFRICA do and I would highly recommend them. Booked through GetYourGuide they had little reviews but all positive and this is another one I'm writing now.
From the minute Dennis picked us up he was a true Ambassador and proud to represent MIGRATION VENTURE AFRICA.
Immaculately presented with a great smile and welcome aboard the well equipped extended Safari Specificaion Toyota Land Cruiser, with power and USB charging ports and well stocked fridge. We set off on the 2 and a half hour journey from just outside Arusha to Tarangire nature reserve, which may seem a long journey, but there was lots of African life to see on the way and the journey there itself was really interesting and Dennis pointed out places and things of interest on the way, also educating us on African culture and language. We stopped along the way at Lions Cafe and bakery and the breakfast menu offering, and food and service were excellent.
Once we arrived at Tarangire Nature Reserve, Dennis sorted out the entry ticket with minimum delay and popped the roof of the 4X4 Safari open allowing us a perfect 360 degree fresh air view and we were on our way through the gate and into the reserve. Dennis was on the radio throughout and gathering info from other members of his team about where the animals were and throughout the next few hours we saw the following extensive list of animals:
Warthogs, Impala, Water buffalo, Lions (pack of 6) drinking at the waters edge, Numerous herds of Elephants, some up very close , Monkeys, Ostrich, Giraffe, Vulture, Effassa waterbug , Giraffe, Oxbecca (on giraffe neck), Zebra, Wildebeast, Grant gazelle.
And of course the Massai everywhere...with their herds of goats and cows.
Dennis was brilliant at guiding the safari 4x4 to each location and arriving at each spot to get a great view. He was a competent driver and we always felt safe with him in control of the vehicle.
The journey home was great with some good tunes through the Bluetooth and Dennis leading the singing. Most memorable was his rendition of The Lion King track "In the Jungle"
A truly memorable day out.
Would highly recommend and can't thank Dennis enough for his experience, skill, knowledge and company throughout. A true Ambassador for MIGRATION VENTURE AFRICA and for Tanzania.
Highly recommended.

Everything was organized better than expected.
Daylight team was very friendly, organized everything (transfered from hotel in Watemu, booked local flight to Nairobi and back to hotel.) In Nairobi meet us with gifts :) Driver also was very friendly - did everything what he could for us to see all possible animals. Super service - recommend Daylight team to everyone who asks. Perfect safari.

Flexible, easy and helpful.
Amazing Memories safaris were very responsive and flexible with what we wanted to do on our trip, and answered all of our questions quickly. When it came to the trip, it was absolutely amazing. All of our accommodation was brilliant and had great food and service.
We visited Ol Pejeta, Naivasha and then two days in Masai Mara. Ol Pejeta and Masai Mara were particularly amazing, Naivasha had less to do but walking with the giraffes on Crescent Island was the main highlight, otherwise, you get equally close to all of those animals in the other places, so it was slightly unnecessary.
Ol Pejeta had loads of rhinos, night drive opportunities and a water hole at the accommodation and a great density of wildlife. Masai Mara had the variety of animals you want to see on the trip.
One of our favourite parts though, was our guide, Daniel. We had a private safari which wasn’t initially planned but turned out to be a great thing. You spend a lot of time driving, so your guide is really important. It meant Daniel became a key part of our trip and his knowledge of everything on animals, Kenyan history, tribes, government and anything we asked was unbelievable. There was not one question he could not answer - and we had many.. On top of that, he’s one of the loveliest guys you’re likely to meet. We’d highly recommend requesting him, and know we will when we come back.

Alpine Chat Adventure is synonim for ultinate safari experience!
We have done Tarangiri and Ngorongoro safari trips with Alpine chat and it has been amazing, lifelong memory trip. From picking up at the airport, great lodges for resting, amazing guide who was vast well of information and had answer to every question we had to brilliant experiwnce in both parks, just every step has been trully great. We have seen big five, experienced the life in Tanzania. We have also been reminded gmjust how important it is to connect with nature. If you ever think of Safari or just to explore Tanzania, i would strongly suggest to go with Erick and Alpine Chat!!

Vibrant, diverse and beautiful, a land of sun and smiles that you have to visit.
What an awesome experience!!! I was travelling on a budget and this tour was everything i could have hoped for. They made it so easy for me - everything was included (besides the things they tell you about, and SOME activities if they are not on your itinerary but you can always do them on the day if you pay in cash - bring some cash with as it is also nice to tip your guides and staff). They fetched me from my hotel in Nairobi and dropped me off there too so there was no need to worry about getting to anywhere to meet them. Albert, our guide, was AWESOME. he drove us from place to place and was friendly, on time, and knowledgeable. And the BEST OFF ROAD DRIVER EVER! The parks roads are bad - so expect a bumpy ride - but Albert was an expert in the 4 x 4 vehicle. we saw all the game you can imagine. There are choices for 3 star, 4 or 5 star accommodation - I chose the budget and camping option and it was great! I highly recommend this to anyone - its a bucket list trip. I only wish I could have done longer.
