Fantastic Safari
This was our second time using All seasons safaris and it was fantastic once again. They are very easy to communicate with and provided an excellent itinerary with great accommodations and excellent drivers and vehicles. The value for the price is unbelievable! I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks for another wonderful experience.

Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania; Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and Safaris in the Serengeti
Our trip from pre-booking until our return was meticulously managed by Pasqua Lorna. She made sure we got to experience everything we wanted, and checked in on how we were doing before, during and after the trip. 11/10 would recommend!
We stayed in Mutanda Lake resort in Uganda which is an incredible property, with caring staff. The lake is unbelievably peaceful, and something that will never be forgotten. The gorilla hike was a short drive into the mountains, and an amazing experience. The guides went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and felt safe at all times.
Our driver from Rwanda, to Uganda and back again was Ronald. He was incredibly knowledgeable and a very nice person to spend the 3-day trip with. He’s a very hard worker, punctual and made the long journeys enjoyable.
We did 3 safaris in Tanzania. The first was in Tarangire National park, the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro Crater. For all we stayed in Tortillas Camps. I can’t speak highly enough of the concept, company and staff here at Tortillas. It was truly incredible being able to stay in these luxury tents in the middle of the parks, surrounded by animals. We felt safe at all times, and the staff were incredibly helpful.
Our guide for the entire time in Tanzania was Earnest. He is very well connected among the guides, and always got the tips on where the animals were at from the other guides. A true veteran, he consistently would find spots, favorited by specific animals, which allowed us to see every single animal the Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Serengeti parks had to offer.
If there was one thing I could suggest, it would be exploring the Tarangire National park during a night drive. If I’m not mistaken, this is the only park you can do a night safari, and is when the animals are most active. Then carry out day safaris in Ngorogoro and the Serengeti. Other then that, I cant speak highly enough of Matoke Tours and all of their partners. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and wouldn’t have been possible without them.

Unforgetable safaris
It was an amazing wildlife experience. We made day and night game drives and despite of the drought and being the end of the dry season, we could make water and mokoro safaris in a beautiful place with very few tourists. One of the highlights was to see a mother cheetah with a group of 8 young cheetahs. It was amazing! We also made a walking safari where we saw lots of animals that we didn’t expect to see. It was a great experience to feel the natural environment of these animals.
The ambiance of the camp was very exclusive and the staff, the guides, the accommodations, the food were absolutely fantastic.

Amazing 3 day safari
An absolutely incredible 3 day safari! We went to the stunning Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and saw so many amazing animals in such a short time, including all of the Big Five. Our guide Lewis was knowledgable and friendly, and our chef Hilda was an excellent cook and excellent company. Loved it!

It was perfect. We got everzthing we expected and more.
It was perfect. We got everything we expected and more.
This was our first Safari, therefore, we shopped around quite a lot. By accident we discovered Nature Responsible Safari. We had them in the race with 10 other companies.
First response was very fast available. Then we started adapting the plan to our needs and budget (we have not been on a super high budget, by the way). Fransisca, the owner, was very attentive and responded fantastically to ALL our questions, doubts and fears every time within 24h. Never any question unanswered and any answer with double meaning. Every option was explained properly, no matter if expensive or cheap.
It also seems that Fransisca is working close with the local communities to ensure tourist money stay withing Tanzania and benefit the locals. It seems she concentrate especially of including women into the work space.
We can not tell how much money really flows into the local communities, but we did not had any doubts any time. One thing was very clear, Natural Responsible is not one of these massive international companies and therefore we have been sure that the money will stay around Arusha. That was the goal all along and we believe from all we have seen, that this is really the case.
2 month before the actual trip we started communicating by Whats Up which made things even more easier. Kudos for that!
No problems at all with the money transfer beforehand !!
Our Guide Emanuele was a star. He adapted 100% to our needs and tried to make the trip as much comfortable as possible for us. We have seen every animal we ask him for.
He gave us our proper space and free time and we never felt any moment uncomfortable. He gave us willingly insides into every day life routines, problems and advantages. We believe with that information we could make us a good picture about live in Tanzania and put things into perspective, which we have seen as undoubtedly different to European life.
Summary: Everyone was to the core professional! Always again! Thank you very much Nature Responsible. Keep doing the things you do.

Saw four of the Big Five
I had a great time here when visiting with friends.
The drivers really knew where to find the animals, so we were treated to seeing lions snoozing at lunchtime and elephants frolicking in the lake in the evening. Throughout the rest of the day we saw all the other animals except from leopards, which apparently are only visible in the rain when they climb trees.
Accommodation was perfect. Lovely lodge with a welcome fan. Food was excellent. A fantastic packed lunch and I can highly recommend the pumpkin soup, which recipe I took home with me and made some myself!

Rock solid organisation and knowledge of the destinations.
I don't normally write reviews but Steffi from Gondwana Tours & Safaris recently arranged a trip for me to Botswana, Reunion Island and Cape Town. She listened to my ideas, told me about other things I would not have known about, then carefully crafted a tailored itinerary for me. She kept in touch throughout the process and it all went smoothly even though the logistics around some of my ideas were a bit challenging to begin with. I highly recommend their service and can't say enough about their practical knowledge and expertise. Thank you so much for organising a trip I'll never forget !

extraordinary experience.
Ventures and Bravo Safaris will make your safari trip an extraordinary experience.
I started to plan this many years i go. I have been recommended this company with my friends, I contacted Yudathadei and he responded very fast. Working with him was a delightful and easy experience. He always replies to my email within 12 hours and gave me all the support I needed. He handled all our booking issues professionally and fast. I know everyone who chose this company said they had the best guide, but I still want to say that our guide/Director, Yudathadei is the best guide/Director we can ever asked for! Not only does he have great personality, but also knows every single road in ALL national parks. Ventures and Bravo Safaris can meet all your expectations if not exceeding them.
You will see me back very soon" thank you Ventures for made my dream to become true)

Spectacular Honeymoon Trip!
Hallmark planned an unforgettable honeymoon for my wife and I this past September! We spent 5 days on Safari in Maasai Mara and Serengeti parks and a week at Diani Beach on the coast. Levis was incredibly helpful and easy to work with in designing the perfect itinerary for us and made sure that we were well taken care of during our trip. Both safari guides were super personable and friendly and the accommodations were fantastic. We even had the added bonus of seeing Nairobi during our layover on our way back and having dinner with Levis and his wife (a great personal touch!) I HIGHLY recommend Hallmark travel to anyone looking to plan their trip to eastern Africa!

Incredible experience, beautiful, customized and professional
Excellent experience, the tour was adapted to my needs and met all expectations. The organizers were very professional and also very friendly. I would do it again any time and warmly recommend it to all who want to discover Kenya and its natural beauties.
