Best guide ever
My husband and I booked a tour to see Victoria Falls and were guided by a very energetic and knowledgeable gentleman named Kuda. He had so much to tell us about the falls and did so in a way that was exciting and engaging. We were never rushed through the various stops along the falls and he even took photos and a video of us. The amusing back and forth conversations we had with Kuda made our guided tour even more memorable! Thank you Kuda - we miss you!!

Tanzania is a jewel of wildlife, scenery and wonderful people.
We had an excellent 15 day safari and Zanzibar trip with Tiem Tours and Safaris.
We decided to use a Tanzanian based outfitter directly and it went seamlessly. We wanted a safari trip that spent as much time as possible in the bush and at tent camps. We then added a couple of days in Zanzibar at the end of the trip. They responded with a tailor made trip for us. During the lead up to the trip we made a number of changes related to trips routes and added some in-country flights. They handled all changes quickly and accurately and did it for cost without extra service charges.
Through 9 months of planning they always promptly replied to all questions
We wired payments direct from our bank to Tiem’s with no issues. Receipts and copies of Tanzanian bank deposit slips were promptly provided.
Right from first arrival our guides always met us as scheduled on different legs.
The accommodations were top drawer. The tent camp sleeping and dining facilities were furnished wonderfully, king beds, flush toilets, hot showers and so on. One camp was in the middle of a wildebeest herd.
Our guide was a safe and competent drive who had excellent knowledge of wildlife. He found a lot of game for us, wildebeest crossings of the Mara River and kept the Land Cruiser stocked with cold drinks and snacks. A great companion for the safari.
After our safari we transferred to Zanzibar. The hotel was a beautiful facility with seaview room. We went a number our tours and one day had a seafood barbeque lunch on a sandbar. For football fans imagine a huge tailgate party in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
So summary TIEM Tours and Safaris did a 5 out of 5 jobs and we would definitely use them again

Amazing experience
I finished off my 2 week volunteer dental nursing trip to Uganda with a 2 day safari with Birchill expeditions. My guide Peter was a wealth of knowledge & an experienced guide. He turned up promptly at 7am, we had an 8 hour drive to Queen Elizabeth national Park but the time flew as we chatted so much. I had a 2 hour cruise on the Kazinga channel where I saw Elephants Hippos Buffalos Crocodiles Monkeys etc and then stayed at a beautiful lodge overnight for a very early start for a game driving in the park, Peter was amazing at spotting animals, I felt so safe and comfortable at all times being a lone traveler. So I would highly recommend Birchill expeditions for any of their safari or tours.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with A Personal Touch
We recently went on a 4-day safari with Akondo Adventures, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the very start, Boris, the owner, was extremely responsive and quick with his answers. He addressed all of our questions clearly and to the point. What really stood out was the personal touch—Boris took the time to meet us in person both when we arrived and before we set off for our safari, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel really welcomed.
Our guide, Rich (Richard) was amazing. He was always in a great mood, making sure we had everything we needed and asking lots of questions about what we wanted to see or experience. He was incredibly patient, never rushed us, and took his time to ensure we had the best possible experience. On top of that, his knowledge about the animals and parks was impressive, and he gave us valuable insights not only about the wildlife but also about life in Tanzania. Richard also had an incredible eye for spotting animals—even while driving, he knew where to look and spotted many animals for us. Thanks to him, we saw really a lot of what the wildlife in Serengeti and the other parks can offer!
Akondo Adventures was very well-organized, responsive, and well-prepared from start to finish. If you’re looking for a safari experience that combines professionalism with a personal, friendly touch, I can highly recommend them!

Very helpfull and they arranged a trip that was perfect for us
First of all at elida you feel like they care about you having the best trip in your life. And we did!!
Easy to email and talk to them. They tailered our trip to suite our needs.
The hotels had good standard and great food. All around good service in every hotel.
The driver did all that he could so that we could see as many Animals as possible. And we learned a little swahili. It was so fun. In our Safari We saw elephants, Lions, cheetah, Leopard and a lot more.
We had a 10 day trip with a child (6 years old) we where a little skeptical about going with a kid but she had the time of here life. As did we.
We where on Safari in masai Mara and Amboseli and ended the trip in Mombasa.
It was very nice with a little beach vacation at the end of our trip.

Great experience
Everything was great. Annalice helped us a lot with all inquiries and changes. She always had the best attitude. Sam our guide was very professional and experienced, which enabled us to make the best of our game drives. We found most of the animals we wanted to meet.
We even received a free hotel upgrade to a newer and more deluxe one, we enjoyed it a lot, and I totally recommend it: "Royal Zebra River Safari Lodge". The staff was very kind and helpful, always with a smile. Also, the food was delicious all the time.

Planning a group travel was quite hectic since we didn't know where to start from. Millicent from Ro
Planning a group travel was quite hectic since we didn't know where to start from. Millicent from Rovic tours was really helpful. I remember disturbing her with a lot of questions since I wasn't sure if it will be what my friends and I would like. Finally after visiting Kenya and Tanzania, the experience was lovely and we all loved it. Everything was seamless and even exceeded our expectations. I would definitely use them again when I want to visit. I highly recommend Rovic.
