Wow, a great feeling of home in the wilderness
I have always wanted a holiday and Wild Discoveries Safaris made this happen for me. The 5-day safari was amazing and life changer. You upon welcoming us from the Airport i knew our guide "Blackie" was a perfect choice. We drove to Bwindi and this super cool car. Uganda is really beautiful because all the way to Bwindi the scenery was nice. We were very lucky to see the Gorillas and to be honest i was very excited and emotional having a closer look with our close relatives. The forest walks and climbing were worth it to see the gorillas. We then drove to Queen Elizabeth National Park and things got better. In the Kyambura gorge for chimp trekking. There is this nice view of the gorge, a forest within a savannah from the view platform. It was remarkable to have a closer look of the chimps too. We finally did a boat cruise on the Kazinga channel and guess what?.....beautiful and yet relaxing to see the wildlife including buffaloes watering. Our guide Blackie is a great guy, plus all the rangers who ensured our safety while in Uganda, the journey and in the parks. They are wonderful people. We tried the local dish (matooke)-awesome.

A fabulous safari ever!
Myself and three other friends enjoyed safari in Tarangile, Serengeti, Lake Manyara. The guide and the chef who were with us were totally kind and gave us excellent services!
The guide tried really hard to look for animals all the time and we so all big fives which were available in our locations. Two leopards, five cheaters, and a lot and los of lions, elephants, buffaloes!
Accomodations we stayed were ok. we are totally satisfied with the cost we paid for this unforgettable experience.

Big smile and warm hospitality
When we first contacted "Hello Tanzania" it was really kind of short notice, only few days before our trip to Dar Es Salam. Nevertheless, we were so lucky as we had almost an instant response. With a welcoming spirit, all arrangements were efficiently made as we planned, plus providing transportation from the airport where Mrs Mwajabu was waiting for us with a big smile and warm welcome.
The safari trip to Mikomi arranged by her was a real life experience. She didn't skip the smallest detail (she even provided us with water,fresh fruits and nuts).
The stop we made at a cafe on the road where we had tea and coffee was also included.
Not to forget the driver, Moses, who proved to be a professional, skillful and punctual driver. A really decent man with good manners.
I must mention that a nice lunch was arranged for us during the safari trip (we enjoyed it under a huge tree!)
Mrs Mwajabu is so willing to give you good tips on your trip or your plans.
When we needed transportation to take us back to the airport from Zanzibar, it was a nice gesture from her to provide such transoprtation, and with the same driver, Moses. We even found Mrs Mwajabu waiting for us at the ferry stop in Dar Es Salam,with her big smile and warm hospitality.
If we ever visit Tanzania again, hopefully, we would definitely repeat the same experience with
" Hello Tanzania"

Great safari with Savannah Explorers!
Wonderful trip, organized at best even to the smallest detail, we stayed at the Kati Kati in the middle of the savannah, ate a very good food and met some great people, including our guide, very nice and prepared. Looking back, I would choose Savannah Explorers again 100 times!

wonderful 3-days safari in the Kruger Park area
My feedback with Roho Ya Chui is very positive. The trip has been perfectly organized, and the exchange of information with Ute has always been fruitful and collaborative. The accomodation at the Chestnut Lodge is really pleasant, and the staff of the Lodge are very professional and friendly at the same time. The organization and planning of the safari fully reflected our expectations. Guides from Gap Tours and Transfers were absolutely perfect, Mr. Mandla in particular with whom we spent almost all the time during these three days. He gave us an impressive amount of information and told us several stories of animals and men. He was really great! Also, we spent only a couple of hours with Trevor during a car transfer but it was enough to learn from him a lot and to feel his sympathy. I strongly recommend RYC!

4.5 star - Great safari holiday with only minor hiccups
We really enjoyed working with Levis to plan our safari holiday. He is super responsive and flexible. We planned an itinerary in Feb for end of May travel, but my father got sick and we had to delay the trip. Levis was very supportive and flexible in helping us to replan the trip for an August travel within a very short period of time. He also helped to reduce the cancellation penalties as much as the policies allow.
The hotels and guides of the trip were quite good with only minor hiccups, which is completely normal in a 5 country long trip (3 weeks). Levis has been actively working with us to address them as they came up.
Looking back I wish we should have communicated our goals better to Levis and our guides early on (eg see all Big 5 in game drives). Hope this helps other users in their planning.
Overall it's a great experience, thanks to the Hallmark team.

Reliable, Caring and Entertaining
We (8 members - 2 families) covered Nakuru and Masai Mara during our 4 days visit in Kenya. The tour was arranged by Ms. Pamela, Tour Consultant, Magical Retreats. We had a wonderful time and the arrangements were done as per our requirements and within our time limits.

Unforgettable trip to Murchison Falls National Park
From the beginning on, we were very excited about the 3-day Safari Tour, even though we didn´t really know what to expect. But from the first game drive on, all our expectations were excelled. The trip was well organized and included a great mix of various activities like game drives, boat safari and hike to the top of the Murchison Falls. While booking our Safari the communication with Bella Africa Safari team was very friendly and our wishes and interest were taken into account. We experienced the guide and the whole organization as very reliable for example that they picked us up at the time agreed on (what can´t always be guaranteed in Uganda =D). The accommodation in the Red Chilli Rest Camp met our expectations completely and was greatly chosen.
The whole trip gave us a good chance to experience the beauty and variety of Uganda as a country. We saw many animals from close up like giraffes, lions, elephants, Uganda kobs, buffalos and monkeys. We will never forget our Safari Tour.

the most amazing experience and best holiday ever
we have spent 8 days with the most professional and highly experienced guide (rama) driver (george) in february 2016 on a tyalor-made circuit/trip with antelope safairs (said) 2 adults and 1 teenager
we had high expectations with several demands such as a private car and driver, water provided everyday and alternating visits of parks with visits of lakes and volcanoes but also meeting with local tribes and riding the bike visiting villages. Antelope and its team made this dream possible for a reasonnable price. We highly recommend this tour operator
