Gorgeous Tailor Made Safari organisation
5*****++
Hi Dears,
Our family experienced a so beautiful time under the organization of Shammah Wonders (Justin was in charge of) and we could only recommend whoever curious about a great Safari Tour, to get in touch with them.
First of all, Justin was always connected to listen and answer to any questions we had and always had a satisfactory solution to propose. We really appreciated that!
Secondly, we were the luckiest visitors to Nyerere Park (Selous) during our 3-day visit, as the guide we were given was definitely named King Lion!
Thanks Elly (Elihakim), you are amazing ! You are definitively King Lion !
Born into the bush, he was able to feel and get close to any hidden animals by getting out of the pist and driving us then out of the trail to catch them.
We were lucky to have you Man !
Second day was more relax with a village visit and Masaï community discover. Then we leaved for the boat trip. Omar was a great guide too plenty of grace, funny, excellent english and well aware about the fauna of the river (crocos, monkeys and hippos). Then we enjoy a beautiful reception for the sunset.
We saw all animals (…except the Leopard…) but could be so close of them at any time with all the precaution taken not to disturb them in their own environment. We loved Elly's professionalism.
Then the lodge was fun. Rustic (could be better in regards of the package…) but surprising as we hear animals in the surroundings of the camp and saw some elephant poo in front of our bungalow. They were real ! Food proposal could be more varied.
In Zanzibar, transfers were well organised but drivers could be more fluent in English.
Keep it up as you have delighted a family with your services.
To be repeated and warmly recommended.
Take care of yourself and your teams. Well done Guys !
Fabrice, Susana, Rebecca and Lara

Excellent Safari!
We booked our private safari with Mazingira Safari and were more than satisfied. Booking and communication with Johari runs smoothly and quickly. Payment via Pesapal also worked perfectly.
On site we were picked up from the airport and taken to our first hotel in Arusha. All accommodations were lovely, comfortable, clean and served delicious food. The highlight was our lodge in the middle of the Serengeti with wonderful views and animal sounds at night.
The safaris in the different parks were amazing and we were able to get very close to elephants, lions, cheetahs and other animals. Our guide Simon was great and gave us an unforgettable safari, where he also listened to our wishes.
We can only recommend Mazingira and Simon!

Extremely responsive and pulling every strings to create a dream safari experience
The experience started with the communication - William responded instantly even when we wrote in odd hours and made sure all our requests to customize the itinerary were taken care of. We opted for the land cruiser upgrade and it was well worth it.
When we arrived, we were picked up by our amazing driver and tour guide - vast experience and really knows how to create a good safari experience. He knew the parks inside out, knowing which areas to go to at what time to guarantee the best sightings. When he saw that we came with photo equipment he also made sure to position us in a way that grants the best photo opportunities. He also made sure to help us decide how to adjust the itinerary to get the best experience and best value for money.
Would highly recommend Madukha tours as this was not only the best value for money tour operator, but I am sure the experience was well above of what other, more expensive operators could have provided.

An Unforgettable Tanzanian Expedition with Nelson
Our family went on 9-day safari trip, thanks to Nelson's expertise and genuine care it was an enchanting journey. With a deep understanding of our needs and years of experience, he painted nature's stories vividly, making every moment a treasure. From close encounters with nature greatest animals to sharing secrets of the wild, Nelson's magic was ever-present. His warm guidance and impeccable planning ensured safety and excitement. As the sun sets on our Tanzanian adventure, we would like to thank Friendship Adventure and Nelson especially for this once in a life time trip in Africa.

Fascinating experience with a professional friendly team
Our stay was extremely well organized by David and his team. They are attentive, learned about the fauna and flora, and always ready to explain everything we see. We and our children really enjoyed this incredible stay, and Dancing Simba contributed to this satisfaction. We strongly recommend using their services and experiences. A huge thanks to David the boss, David the new French-speaking guide, and Proches the king of the track !

Amazing!
My family and I spent 6 days safari among Serengeti, Gorongoro, lake Mynara and Tarangire. Our tour operator Ihana Safaris arranged everything in the best way and everyone was ready to satisfy all oru needs. Everything was almost perfect, camp site organization, food, game drive, everything was top. All the staff was extremely kind and lovely, Mike our driver, teach us a lot about animal habits and he really knows where to find them, indeed we had the possibility to see all the big 5. It was a great experience and I do sincerely recomend to use Ihana safaris as they do their best to make an unforgettable experience

Excellent service
I send a message to several operator, but Netherken was only one who really read and answer my question and gave personalized answer. It was easy choice for me. Our co-operation worked very well but unfortunately there was 2 quite big things what I'm not pleased.
1. I choose traveling to the Fig Tree camp by airplane. When I was returning back to Nairobi, plane didn't come at all and there was nobody on the airstrip who knows anything what to do. Mombasa air didn't inform us anyhow to the hotel or there was not anybody answering for us what we should do. Netherken's number didn't answer. I still don't know how, but we got 2 pilot's who bring we back to Nairobi just 1,5 hours late.
It's not so big thing, but somehow they should inform customers if there is technical problems and delays.
2. Don't by any extras beforehand!
I bought also Hot balloon safari many months before. It was mistake.
I get ill there (stomach ailment from the first lunch). Cause I couldn't leave bathroom at all, I couldn't go to the flight.
I was not happy when I heard that they will not return my money even they were selling those hot balloon flights there in Fig Tree Camp all the time for next morning every day. I mean, they didn't have to say anybody that all flights are sold out, and that way they didn't loose any new customer because of my illness. I feel it was not fair.
I didn't get it even from travel insurance cause I didn't understand that I should get doctor. Reception said that it's in Nairobi so I didn't think it's necessary after 1,5 days yet.
So don't buy any extras beforehand, you can get them later on the camp as well!
The Fifth Tree Camp is beautiful and very nice place and 1 game drive I had possible to join was amazing!
I can recommend that even my 2 deplorable experiences.
As well I can recommend Netherken as well. I'm sure they will develop communication between Mosambik air, The Fig Tree Camp and Netherken itself.
