Terrific Two Week Safari from Arusha to Serengeti National Park
We just finished a two-week safari in Tanzania using Gosheni Travel. While planning the trip we looked for a local tour company and, after talking with several, found that Peter (owner/manager) of Gosheni Safaris was very responsive to what we were looking for. Our guide, George, was terrific! Ash for him!! He is from the area and spoke English well. He was very experienced, kind, and listened carefully to what we wanted when there were small changes to make along the way. I am amazed at the amount of information George had for us during the trip. We asked so many questions and he had a wealth of knowledge about the animals, local community and history of Tanzania. Our time with the Massai villagers, the Hadza tribe bushmen (a tour highlight), Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro National Park and the Serengeti National Park is unforgettable and one of the most interesting trips we’ve taken. The good places we stayed at were Mount Meru Hotel, The Massai Village, The Ngorongo Farm House, and the Acacia Lodge in Serengeti. Great food, kind people and close to the animals. Avoid Ngorongoro Castle, and although the Acacia Tarangire was very nice, it was way too far into the park on a very bad road, and there must be better alternatives.

Mattaw Safaris gave us the BEST safari experience and exceeded our expectations.
Our safari with Mattaw Safaris was a wonderful trip. We have been to Masai Mara before but this was our best trip by far. It was so easy to communicate with the company from the very beginning and they were careful to listen to our special needs/requests to provide exactly what we needed. From the excellent accommodation they arranged for us to the amazing driver and local guide who were so personable and flexible, we had an amazing time. The driver and local guide truly cared about our comfort and helping us see everything we wanted to see. We traveled with our 3 year-old and everyone was so accommodating and patient with us considering the extra challenges that traveling with a toddler brought. Going with a local guide was extremely helpful, as they were very familiar with the area and were able to find all of the animals we hoped to see. The vehicle was very comfortable and spacious for our family. Mattaw Safaris also knows the best places to stay - we loved the hotel they arranged for us! We will always have these wonderful memories and we are so thankful for Mattaw Safaris for arranging every single detail and being flexible and providing above and beyond service every step of the way.

a fantastic experience with special moments
Communication went very well, Richard speaks good English and tries his best to explain what he means when we didn't understand him.
Service was very good. The Jeep was Always clean, new water for the long days driving en Richard knew the nice spots, the roads and the places to stay overnight. Richard drove safely, I never felt unsafe for a moment, he showed us more than just the animals. We were everywhere on time.
It lived up to our expectation. We have seen the big 5, lots of animals en flora/founa. We asked a lot about life in Tanzania and Richard told us about it extensively. This adds extra dementia to the trip. It was more than just driving in a Jeep to see the big 5.Dealing with the locals to show us how they live and to make us feel comfortable with them.
I would definitely advise my family and friends to ask Richard for a safari holliday.

Dream trip!
Sandra helped me book a 3-day tour at the Black Rhino Lodge near Pilanesberg national park. My friends and I had an amazing experience there. Sandra was so easy to communicate with and made me feel at ease throughout the whole planning process. Each step of the trip was perfect. We would love to return someday for another tour!

Amazing trip through Southern Africa
We've been to many Southern African countries in December and January and the entire organisation, guides and hotels and lodges Amazing Africa picked for us were so amazing! Everything was so well organised and they took great care of us. Once we had a question and they were immediately reachable. We can highly recommend booking with Amazing Africa and will do it for sure again in the future!

Exellent
This Safari was such an adventure.
Although it was a little pricy, it was a value for money experience. My friends and I decided to stay in the hotel inside the parks so we could experience Africa at its best. In the mornings hearing the birds chirping and watching the antelopes chasing one another was unimaginable. Seeing the rich biodiversity on our tours, was amazing! This vacation was my dream one. Big up backpacking to Africa for planning such an amazing trip for us.

Unforgettable moments in South Africa
In January/February 2020 I took a big tour through South Africa with "Amazing Africa". The arrangement of the trip according to personal wishes and the tour program carried out left nothing to be desired! The entire team is very friendly and competent. I really enjoyed this trip with all its highlight and can fully recommend "Amazing Africa"! I will definitely book my next trip to SA with "Amazing Africa"!

Superb organization, strongly recommended!
We were hesitant to go on safari during these difficult times at first. We asked a few of the local agencies for rates but were not sure if we really wanted to go. Lisa from KingTomondo was the one finally able to make us feel comfortable enough to go through with the booking. She answered all our questions and responded to our initial worries with great patience.
The safari took us to Tsavo, Amboseli NP and Salt Lick and we were very happy with how everything went. Our driver Said was super nice and we hope we can go with him again in the future. He really has the eyes of an eagle! Although this has not been our first safari, things were still a bit different this time. The parks are almost empty and sometimes we took long without seeing any other safari car. This is certainly bad for the industry but for us it made for a very special experience. We also worried about health at first, but were pleasantly surprised with how well the camps managed hygiene. For anyone thinking whether or not to go on safari these days, we can definitely recommend to do it. For us, we will be back to Lisa and KingTomondo in the future, hopefully with the same amazing experience.
