Safari at its best
Thank you for great experience, fantastic guide (Anderson :)), lovely Lodges, perfect organisation (Vera) and such a great time. We did the 3 days Safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara) - that was great, enough time and we saw a lot of different animals. Thanks to the whole team for such a lovely experience during our honeymoon in Tansania!

Great safari with a great guide
When I arrived to Entebbe Paul came to the hotel and collected the last part of the payment and informed me about next day. The trip the day after started in Entebbe (I was picked up 07.00 hrs at my hotel) and the first stop was at the Equator. This was fun. They showed a experiment with water, I bought a certificate and then we headed on for Bwindi. The ride down was loooong and tiring but the last part was like a safari light (saw a elephant, topis, uganda cop, waterbock, baboons, buffalos etc).
I stayed the night at Buhoma Community Rest Camp...this was NOT my cup of tea so to say. All acommodations are expensive in Bwindi, to expensive compared to what is offered. The food was good and the personnel was great though. The day after it was time to go for the Gorilla Safari/Trekking. It was well organized and professional. We were told that they haven´t returned back without seeing any gorillas in 11 years, felt nice to hear. We walked for maybe 30 minutes then we saw them, so impressive. To be this close to the gorillas is just a big WOW.
When we return to the starting point I found out that 8 americans were not allowed to enter the park. Their guide had forgotten to arrange permits for them... Paul, my guide had done that, thank you :-) Everything worked out brilliant. Paul showed me where to be/go and everything was well organized by him. After the safari we took off and drove to Mabarara where we stayed for night. Here we stayed at Acasia Hotel a nice hotel.
The last day we made a new stop at the equator. When we drove, Paul told me a lot of interesting stuff. He knows a lot about many things, cool :-) An other thing about Paul...he is so friendly and kind.
The vehicles was comfortable with good space for my long legs (usually a issue for us tall scandinavians). Water was provided and lunch and dinner were included for two days.
When we came back to Entebbe I was dropped at the airport since I was heading for the Seychelles after the safari. Paul was flexibel and helpful all the time. I also appreciated his safe driving, no risks where taken.

Beyond Excellence!
We were in Tanzania for two weeks and visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and later to Mafia for diving. We saw one of the tours offered by Epic Tours and we requested some information. Though we contacted also other operators, we were impressed how Epic Tours replied to our request on time. We are birders so we had a lot of special requests and customization and Ezekiel and the Team was up in time to customize the package to what we wanted. Their birds specialist driver Eli was an expert, spoke perfectly English and had a lot of knowledge about birds and the Wildlife in general. We were also impressed with Eli's flexibility to make extra stops along the way when we saw something interesting as well as minor changes in our daily schedule.
We highly recommend Epic Tours to other travellers, and bird watchers specifically for an experience of a life time.
Wir danken euch sehr! Wir haben eure gut organisierte Safari sehr genossen!
Bis auf hoffentlich bald.
Viele Grüße

Kisima Tours operator chose the perfect lodgings, driver, and locations.
We were given constant updates and feedback via the internet with the option of phoning. Ms. Nganga gave us personal service all the way; she arrived with our guide/driver at the airport, reviewed our total trip upon arrival, and accompanied us to personal destinations from our past. Recommendations were needed for shopping and later lodgings and her suggestions were right on target. I know the guide was in constant contact with her. If a comment was made during the safaris, Ann would make the adjustments. We highly recommend your next tour to East Africa be with Kisima Tours.

A very exiting experience indeed.The participants have always asked for a repeat safari with Aardwof
The communication is excellent. They keep track of every movement with their client. Service very excellent ,Hotel and tour Vans people travelled in will not be forgotten in the near future. Participants of the safari expected mless but were given more than their expectations. The safari was done in Tanzania, Arusha where we visited Ngorongoro crater and parts of Mt Kilimanjaro. all in for days. The Serene sceneries were eye openers. Part of the people involved in that safari had not travelled for expendition before. They were excited to the full. Others who had done safaris before found this one excellent.

One of the most amazing experience I have done in my life
I contacted several safari tours operators , Safari Care managed to to exceed my expectations. Very prompt in answering with all the details. Mollel was our guide from the airport to all our destinations and back. He managed to find all the Big 5. I recommend Safari care to every one. I am hoping my rest of my family and friends to go for this adventure in tanzania with Safari care. Thank you Safari care and tanzania for hosting us

Very good guiding!
Hi,
I am a French expatriate living in Tanzania, I have been on safari many times, not only in Tanzania but all over Africa. I went on a five day trip in Serengeti/Ngorongoro in March, departing from Mwanza and had a very good experience.
Massumin's main asset is the quality of their guides, our guide did not talk too much, he was a very good spotter and we especially appreciated the fact that he did not rely on other cars or the radio to find the animals in the Serengeti which is so rare nowadays on the Northern Tanzanian circuit. We managed to see rhinos in Ngorongoro with no other cars in attendance which is unheard of and even a leopard in Serengeti without other cars attending which is just exceptional.
We went for five days and got a very good price. The team at Masumin is very friendly, efficient and available and really tried to accommodate our needs. Being seasoned safari goers, we were quite demanding but eventually we were extremely satisfied.

Great Experience in Nairobi National Park
I'm in Kenya for a short work trip and was connected with Robert and Beacon Safaris to arrange an excursion in Nairobi National Park and the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Robert and guide/driver John picked me up in the early morning in a cool, customized van (roof pops up so that you can stand, spot wildlife and take pictures). Robert was truly professional and John very knowledgeable about the animals in the park. We arrived at the park just before 6:30 am and I would recommend that anyone else do the same; it's harder to see any animals after around 9:30. We spotted rhinos, hartebeest, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, gazelle, impala, elan, lions, and lots of various birds including ostriches. It was exciting bounding around the park with John and Robert when animal sightings came across the radio. The elephant orphanage is also an essential life experience. Beacon was professional, punctual, and courteous, I would happily book another tour with them in the future.

Very good Safari for 2 backpackers on a budget.
We booked a 11 day safari to Kenia and Tanzania and did around 7 parks I guess. Safarithreesixty responds very well on e-mail and has a personal and direct contact via whats app if you like. We had a safari-Van and were positively surprised about all our sleeping arrangements since we booked a budget safari. We had a friendly guide who stopped for everything you asked and made me taking nice pics from good spots. We saw all big 5, from very close. Especially Masai Mara is the best. He did not tell a lot about the animals like you maybe are used from a tourguide in europe. There was always a nice bed with mosquito net or a tent with matress. The food was ok African food, but nothing fancy. In the Tanzanian part the lunchboxes were a bit untastfull. In the Tanzanian part our guide was less friendly, but that is bad luck and a difference in attitude we experienced.

Fantastic Experience!
I had never booked a safari before, but upon contacting Krugerpark.com Andy responded! He was so helpful and patient and found me a great safari experience at Tydon Safari Camp! The whole booking experience was easy and he answered my many questions, even taking my call the day before the safari regarding transfer from Johannesburg. The next time I book a safari, I will definitely utilize this company! Thanks so much!
