Brief safari in Kenya
We visited Kenya for a few days before going to Tanzania. We spent some time in Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Park. All safaris were excellent and although I had heard a lot about Tanzania surpassing Kenya in wildlife, we had similar experiences. Fantastic landscape, lots of wild animals and birds, and excellent service from Serene East Africa Safaris. I recommend a 4x4 Jeep and not a van, because the roads are not in good condition. Finally, we visited Mombasa, which really did not meet our expectations, we found Zanzibar much better.

You must visit South Africa!
I went to South Africa with my boyfriend for our first safari and as our first "overseas trip" as well, so we were very excited, but we didn't know ecxatly what to expect. Well, everything surprised us in a very positive way. We visited the Kruger National Park and had the unique opportunity to see many of the animals we knew only throught the Discovery Channel very close! We saw all the Big 5 and many wonderful animals more (wild dogs, hienas, hippos, birds, zebras, giraffs, impalas, kudus...). All the game drives we did were fantastics! Besides that, the accomodations were very confortable, the food was delightful and our guide was amazing, sharing all his knowledge and being able to find all the animals.
Everything was much better than I could expect. I surly recomend Wildlife Safaris! :)

Tanzania Choice Safaris serve fare that satisfies the mind, heart & soul with a global conscience.
From the first e-mail to the last personal farewell and all the laughter, education and family sharing sandwiched in between....Kakasii and Brenda planned a safari experience that had our party of ten filled each day but left us hungering for more. Thank you for loving and caring for all creatures (great & small) in beautiful Tanzania.

You need to look no further than Safari Infinity for a stellar safari
From beginning to end, our experience with Safari Infinity was first rate. Augustine arranged our trip. I don't think she sleeps, as she responded so quickly to every request and inquiry we made. She worked with us to design the perfect 9 day safari for us, including wonderful accommodations. I wouldn't change a thing. Our guide, Lorde, was knowledgeable about animals and birds, animal behavior, geology, you name it. And he is an expert at driving a Land Cruiser. If you name an animal that you would want to see in Africa, we saw it, including dozens and dozens of lions, elephants, giraffes, and even the endangered black rhino mother and baby. And we saw them in different settings and circumstances, for example, lions taking an afternoon siesta, lion cubs wrestling, a male lion carrying a Grant's gazelle across the savannah to an outcropping of rocks, lions in trees. I knew a safari would be an amazing experience, but I was unprepared for the quantity, diversity, and proximity of the wildlife. It takes a first rate company and guide to make sure your experience is beyond expectation. I spent a lot of time researching safari companies. Let me save you the time and trouble. Safari Infinity is the company to choose.

Perfect Safaris
My friend and I used Hakuna Matata Safaris last month in Uganda and Rwanda.The correspondence before the adventure was fast to all our concerns... and the service was great!! I think Hakuna Matata is the Best Choice when going to Uganda and Rwanda

A Wonderful and most Amazing Experience
We have just returned from the most wonderful and amazing Safari. From the start of contacting Axis Africa Safaris (Jan 17 ) to departure (Sept 17) Lennox responded to all of my questions, and there were many, even the recommendation of accommodation was spot on. The price of the Safari was brilliant value for the money. Samuel, our guide was just brilliant, his knowledge and experience is second to none and we were privileged to see so many animals, more than we had ever hoped for, from the Dung Beetle right up to the beautiful elephants. In one day we saw Cheetah, Leopard and Lions.
I have no hesitation is recommending Axis African Safaris and with Samuel as your guide you cannot fail to enjoy.

Second time Ajabu Adventures, perfect again!
We made a 8 days tour. We visited Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Tarangire NP and the impressing Ngorongoro. We were travelling with Ajuba Adventures for the second time, because the safari’s of Ajabu we know are perfectly customer made. We like to stay in nature, we prefer to sleep in tented camps, to get up early in the morning. Our guide Juma, organized the trip perfectly according to our wishes.
When you are looking for a well organized, and also really customer made safari Ajabu Adventures is a perfect choice.

Failed to provide the tour promised - beware
I used Matembezi to arrange a trip of the East and West Usambara mountains, they were expensive but I picked them as they agreed to supply a specialist birding guide (Njano Mbilinyi who I had heard was good) I was very clear that I need an expert as the birds in the mountains are difficult to find.
However when I arrived they told me Njano was not available (he had had a better offer) and instead provided a driver/guide who they said was just as good! The reality was the guide provided was just a driver and did not know the birds and was unsure where to find them (and was totally reliant on a bird guide just to guess). The result was a very disappointing trip which I could have done for less than half the price.
As they knew Njano would not be available they could have
a) told me and I could have found a different tour guide
b) told me and arranged local guides
instead they seemed to just hope we would not notice! When we complained they just suggested we pay for local bird guides!
On the plus side the driver was friendly and tried his best and we did get to the general locations of the birds safely.
However all in all it was very disappointing, frustrating and annoying - I would suggest you avoid this company

Amazing Adveture in Africa
During our tour with Hakuna Matata safaris in Rwanda and Uganda all was well organized and our guide managed all for us perfectly. So we can enjoy a spectacular holiday with so many fantastic and impressing moments. We saw all kind of wild animals so close to us. A real safari feeling!!! The accomodations had been placed inbetween with great jungle noises in the night, spectacular views and very nice stuff. If you are planning a tour through Uganda, Rwanda and Congo, please contact Matoke tours and you will have an incredible journey.
