13 day Kenya and Tanzania safari and cultural tour.
Maureen and I would like to thank you for the wonderful safari you and your colleagues at SED organized for us this past month.
Starting in Kenya at Masai Mara national park in mid September was perfect. Rhino camp was great , food delicious. Within a KM from the main gate and we travelled through a Masai village each day enroute to the gate.
We saw all the big 5 on our first day. A beautiful black Rhino appeared out of a grove of trees and meandered to another bushy area.
The park was thriving with animals and the landscape was lush.
We moved on to Tanzania on our 3rd day overnighting on Lake Victoria,” Serenity on the lake” . Wow, beautiful grounds and exceptional lodge and again delicious meals.
Next day relaxing on the lake followed by a safari on the Serengeti. Again an abundance of animals migrating south, more large herds of Zebra and Wildebeest.
We camped over night at Acacia Camp on the Serengeti, magnificent luxury tent, beautiful lounge and dinning room. We remained on the Serengeti, more incredible vistas and wildlife, overnighting at the Lobo Wildlife Lodge A must visit, gorgeous facility with a view of the Serengeti from it’s perch high on a rocky hill.
Over the next 7 days we visited Lake Natron, the Rift Valley, Manyara Park and Lodge and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater and Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge. We just marveled at this place.
We then visited Tarangire National Park staying at the beautiful Rioka Tented Lodge. We travelled back to Kenya making one last stop at another beautiful Lodge, Amboseli Kibo Safari Lodge.
All of our accommodations were excellent, clean, friendly staff, great hosts for visitors to their country. Delicious meals and not to forget we had a picnic lunch packed for us most days. A safari picnic was unexpected however one of the highlights of our vacation.
The guides/ drivers of which we had 3, Daniel and Onesmas in Kenya and Anton in Tanzania. Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous gentlemen that were in large part the most important element of our 2 weeks in Africa.
SED”s safari package for my wife and myself was wonderful. Our accommodations, meals, transportation, cultural visits exceeded our expectations. Thanks to you we saw the great vistas and animal life of Kenya and Tanzania in comfort and safety.
I would happily recommend to anyone planning a visit to Africa to certainly contact SED for a tour package.

Amazing Experience!
I had the opportunity to go to Kenya and do the safari with Africa Flash McTours & Travel back in June. I did not know what to expect but the experience ended up being great. They worked very hard to satisfy my needs all the time. Peter who is the manager, he did a excellent job making sure I was happy with their services during the safari. I was able to see the big 5 on my day three. so lucky to see a rhino on my first day. Overall I had a life experience. Also you can personalize your safari from low cost to a luxury one. It was nice to have the options. I think I will be back to see the migration soon and I will do it with Africa Flash McTours & Travel for sure.

Very professional safari with lots of fun!
We booked an 11 day safari (Hot springs, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Tribes, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) and we have to say Pumba gives you the best safari experience.
Edwin is an expert on East African wildlife, with an keen eye for even the smallest birds and hidden leopards. Thanks to him we have seen almost all the animals in the parks. He is very flexible, full of nice surprises and is just a reliable, professional and humorous guide.
Pumba Safaris is a growing company with an excellent focus on the demand and wellbeing of its clients. We will never forget what we have experienced and definitly want to come back some time! For now we will recommend him to all our relatives!!

Relaxed trip to Hwange and Vic Falls
Nyati booked for us the trip to Hwangwe nat parc combined with the Vic falls.
We stayed in Sable sands which was an excellent lodge for us. very relaxed and with good food. also the game drives and the early morning walk were very good.
Our short stay in Vic Falls was just right. We had a very early morning visit to the falls so we were there almost alone!!! and we enjoyed a Zambezi cruise in the evening.
Before we left we had a nice swim..

Unforgettable Honeymoon
My husband and I could not be more satisfied with our experience with Flash Safaris. The entire process from reviewing different itineraries with Henry to arriving in Tanzania and meeting Magda at the airport went seamlessly. We spent 5 full days on safari with Malak (not sure of exact spelling!), whom was exceptional and very imformative, we will defintiely request him as our guide when we return! We visited Arusha National Park, Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. Every day was a new adventure and we saw so much more then we expected! The lodges we stayed at were nice and comfortable (Ilboru Lodge, Kudu Lodge and Sangaiwe Tented Lodge) and the food was great.
Flash then arranged our second leg of the trip in Zanzibar from the flights to the hotel and taxis, it as great to not have to worry/think about any of these details! We stayed at Kichanga lodge which was very comfortable and secluded, great place for some rest & relaxation!
We cannot say enough great things about this agency. They went above and beyond to meet our expectations while staying within budget. The Flash team really is so easy and pleasant to work with and make you feel very comfortable once you arrive! We cannot wait to return to Tanzania to explore some more, it is one beautiful country! Special thank you to Magda, Edwards Henry and Malak!!!

We loved our safari with Soul of Tanzania - i would rate it 5 out of 5!
I traveled on a private safari with Soul of Tanzania - with my 2 daughters, aged 12 and 14. We had such a wonderful trip - the trip of a lifetime! Our guide Herman was knowledgeable and patient, and knew how to find animals, how to wait for animals and what to expect of their behavior. His command of English was fantastic, he was a great driver and he was good with the kids. The safari itself was wonderful - we saw so many animals, including lion, cheetah, leopard, black rhino, elephant, hippos and much much more - we couldn't have been happier with what we were lucky enough to see. Of the 4 parks we went to (Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara) the girls' favorite was Lake Manyara - I think because there was a magical forest element as well as the lake. Elephants materializing out of the forest in front of us will be something we will never forget. In Serengeti NP we saw a lion pride coordinate a hunt right in front of us - then bring 13 cubs back to eat their kill. In Taragire NP we saw a herd of more than 100 elephants in the dry riverbed digging in the sand to access water and then spray it around. We saw a huge pride of 16 lions and cubs in Ngorongoro Crater cross just meters from us, and a big male lion digging like a huge dog trying to flush a warthog out of it's den. We got some great photos even with just our phone cameras - and our guide Herman cleverly took some with our phone and ipod through the binoculars - which were amazing! The food and accommodation exceeded our expectations - with Burunge tented lodge, looking out over Lake Burunge conservation area from the beautiful restaurant deck and pool area was our favorite.

Short 3 day Safari to Selous
The Kanuth team were really good in arranging our trip. We gave them our dates and they created a list of activities for us which included pick up/drop off from and to the airport, a boat safari, walking safari and a traditional driving safari which lasted most of the day . We paid a deposit and then paid the rest of the fee on arrival. We went with a cheaper option for accommodation and stayed at HippoCamp just outside of the Game Reserve which was adequate enough and clean... It is very basic but we had a toilet and shower which we didn't expect.
Our chef was great, friendly and cooked some great food! even including great bottle of white wine on our last night. All the staff at HippoCamp were great and very friendly. We managed to see Hippos, Lions, Giraffes, Zebras, Buffalo, Crocs and lots of birds. We sadly missed out on seeing any Elephants Our driver on safari was great and knowledgable in regards to the animals. The boat and walking safari were also very fun and interesting. We would return. Although be aware the drive from Dar Es Saalem takes around 6 hours... It was nice to see the country on the drive but there is also a possibility to fly to Selous which is a 20minute trip but it costs around $150 Per Person.
