We had an awesome Kilimanjaro trip!
We did the 7-day Machame Kilimanjaro route with Matoke. We had Iddy as headguide and Steve as assistent guide. They were the best guides and the team was very good. Iddy and Steve were professional guides and did everything to make sure that we reached the summit. They both are really good in setting the best pace, monitoring your health and are very friendly. Besides, we learned a lot about the Kilimanjaro and Tanzania from them, and they were very interested in us as well. Although we couldn't speak English with all other members of the team, they are always friendly and it felt like a family. The equipment was all decent. The chef Daniel cooked very good and there was always a lot of food.
We would recommend everyone to climb the Kilimanjaro with Matoke and Iddy and Steve as guides.

Serengeti, Lake Natron, Zanzibar
We had an amazing experience with Uhuru Travel. Our accommodations, tent camps and lodges, were very comfortable. In the tent camps we had elephants, lions, hyenas and zebras around us you could hear through the tent walls, but we always felt safe. Our driver, John, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and found us animals like leopards feeding in the trees, or lions stalking buffalo, that we would have missed looking for ourselves. The first thing we did was forget our camera in the car that took us from the airport in Arusha to our hotel but Mr. Loy made a call to our driver and he found it and delivered it to our hotel the next morning. Uhuru Travel did a wonderful job for our safari.

Truly amazing experience for both parents and kids!
A self-drive tour through South Africa’s Elephant coast with 4 adults and 4 children (6, 7, 8 & 9). This could possibly be a recipe for disaster, but it turned out to be the best holiday ever!
We did not want to visit the standard parks, but wanted a somewhat different experience, without putting too much of a burden on the children. After consultation with ‘Tailor made safari’s’ we decided to trust them with our wishes. They appeared to have so much knowledge and they did a truly amazing job!
Everything was well taken care of by them. The route, with help of the navigation device the company provided for us, was well described in the itinerary. We even received a phone call from them in order to guide us when the road was temporarily blocked. What a service!
The accommodations were simply amazing. They made sure the lodges-tents-house where child friendly: there was a pool for the kids to enjoy themselves and room for them to play. So thoughtful! Because of this the kids were able to keep up with two game drives almost every day we visited a game park. They absolutely loved it! And off course, we did also.
What is left are some fantastic memories that will last a lifetime. Although, we might want to come back… that’s how much we liked this experience. Thank you, people from ‘Tailor made safari’s’ for making this possible.

Dream Makers!! The best Uganda Safari company!!
I will always be grateful to Kajie Safaris because they allowed me to realize my big dream with a small budget.
I've been to Uganda in September 2019 and I spent 7 days and 6 nights with Ben as a guide and it was amazing.
Me and my wife have enjoyed every single day, road, lodge and camp they have chosen for us.
Starting with a low budget per person we have been doing Chimps Trekking, visiting Queen Elizabeth NP and Kazinga Channel, cruising Lake Bunyonyi and at the end of the week...Gorilla Trekking.
It has been a magical stay and we are lucky to have shared this experience with the AMAZING BEN! He was always paying attention at our needs and he is super keen and enthusiast on history, nature and culture of his country.
Ben and Kajie Safaris are super recommended for visiting Uganda.

Fantastic driver/guides, incredible trip
As a solo traveller, I contacted three safari companies 10 days (!) prior to my flight to Tanzania to enquire about a 7-day mid-range safari (through Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro) on my preferred dates. All three companies replied within a day but I liked Orongai safari's offer the most, because Asser NNko, the managing director provided me with an authentic 7-day itinerary which I liked a lot. I felt relieved that everything was planned out for me by an expert so I did not have to worry about anything.
When I arrived to Arusha, one of Asser's representatives picked me up at the airport and transferred me to the Charity Hotel. On the first day, I visited Arusha National Park with Jackson who was my driver and guide of that day. Jackson kindly showed me giraffes, zebras, buffalos, flamingos, monkeys, and we were lucky enough to see Mount Kilimanjaro from a viewpoint. Jackson was very patient while I took photos. I also had a 1-hour walking safari with an armed ranger that day; - I loved the idea of walking a few meters away from the giraffes at the foothills of Mount Meru! An amazing experience.
Then the real adventure started with Simon Juma Salim who was my/our guide/driver for the rest of the week.
On day 2-6, I was supposed to join a group of five but thanks to Asser, I shared the safari jeep with only one other solo traveller. The three of us, we spent 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 2 days in the Serengeti, and one day in Ngorongoro. On my 7th day I visited Lake Manyara alone with our guide, Simon.
Simon Juma Salim, our guide was brilliant!!! At first the three of us made a decision together what to focus on during the safari, i.e., the great migration or the big cats. Both of us were mainly interested in the big cats, so Simon ensured that we definitely see lions, cheetahs and leopards by driving through their habitat in the Serengeti. Actually, I saw 31 lions, several cheetahs with babies, and a leopard with her baby! Thanks to Simon, I could also meet the Big Five and many many other beautiful animals. I was lucky enough to witness a male lion (and later vultures) eating a buffalo at Lake Manyara, and I could also see a tree climbing lion. Simon himself got very excited when we spotted an animal on the savannah, and Simon even helped me taking photos through binoculars! Simon is very passionate about his job, and he considers Serengeti as his second home. Of course, Simon always shared some interesting facts about the animals and vegetation as well as the different tribes. Simon also shared some stories of his life during lunch and dinner.
Simon is very friendly, kind-hearted and helpful; and his genuine personality contributed that I enjoyed this trip so much.
In relation to the accommodation selected by Asser, I loved the Serengeti Wildlife Camp (because I could hear hyenas, and lions roaring at night...) and the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge (because of the beautiful views) the most. Asser via Simon our guide continuously asked for feedback about the accommodation (if I had not been happy with it Asser would have changed it).
I highly recommend Orongai safaris.
