A once in a life time Safari Experience
I got in touch with Leina, last minute before our trip to Tanzania, and she was very responsive and planned a detailed and all encompassing itinerary for us at Selous. She came to receive us at the airport and presented a kit with all that we would need during the safari. We went to Selous in the safari vehicle which was spacious and comfortable and our driver and guide was an excellent driver who drove effortlessly even in rough rainy terrain.
The campside we had was very well kept and the food was among the best we ate during our entire trip. The people at the camp were very friendly and helpful too. Leina also called to check on us regularly and ensured we were having a good experience. She is also very knowledgeable on travelling in Tanzania and offered us some recommendations on planning our trip after the safari too.
Additionally, when one of my friend had forgotten a belonging of hers at the campside, Leina made sure to get it delivered to us before our departure, which speaks volumes of her Msafiri's services, beyond its tour.
I recommend Msafiri and Leina for planning your safari to Selous, and you wont be disappointed.

Amazing experience which I must repeat this and every other year without a doubt.
Many seasoned tour operators have organized my holiday previously but Royal Private Safaris outdid them all. Their communication is timely and accurate. Most issues were addressed even before asking. I had all the information I needed sent on email and a day before the trip, I was called by one of the staff and we went through the email to ensure that I had all the information I needed. Moreover their customer care is excellent. Staff were courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful.
Our trip to Amboseli was simply amazing. The vehicle was very clean, well driven and had all the signs of top notch maintenance, with fully stocked First Aid Kits. Our trip to Amboseli National Park was well tailored to suit our requirements and our four days stay was a magical experience which we shall definitely repeat. Isaac was our guide and his vast knowledge impressed us. Our expectations were exceeded and yes...we got more than we paid for.
I highly recommend them for small groups and solo travelers. You can never go wrong with Royal Private Safaris. Try them, you will definitely love the experience.

Our Dream Came True
I think everyone go on an African camping at least once in a lifetime and if you are lucky to have Thomas of African Sunrise Travels as your guide it will be one of the best time your life. He was amazingly knowledgeable about wild animals and excellent in tracking them for us on the 5 day trip with him. He was great company and made the time with him fun for us. We took lots of pictures, capturing the memories for eternity.
Thank you Thomas and the rest of the African Sunrise Travels team for making our dream come true.

The Best Kilimanjaro Operator
My wife and I have just come back from successfully climbing Kilimanjaro via the 6 days Machame Route with Teacher (The Super-guide and director of Kilimanjaro Wonders Expeditions Safaris) and it was nothing short of phenomenal. We found Teacher waiting for us at the arrivals and it was cool to finally meet him in person. He did not leave our side, taking care of us all through. I cannot find any fault in the whole trip as everything was well planned for and in place. The trek was tougher than we expected and the crew helped us a lot. They kept us well fed, hydrated, warm and safe at all times.
I highly recommend Teacher and his awesome crew to all.

ARUNI is the best!!!
I just have to thank our tour guide Aruni, defenitely the best tour out there. If you ever wonna see the best of safari i highly recomend to always ask for Aruni! We were in Masai Mara, for 3 day safari, and he was nothing but helpful, skilled and kind. Hes english is perfect and by far the best from all other guides that were with us. Knowledge and explaining of every animal and other cultural stuff was top notch. And i gotta mention hes driving skills, we were chasing a leopard with an mini van where some 4x4 suvs couldnt go. Hes skill to catch, see, or react on radio to drive rapidly for a rare animal is amazing. Im just gonna say that there were 2-3 other guides that were just following hes lead and advices.
If it werent for him we wouldnt see 4/5 (rhino missing) big five in such a short notice, and neither would other 3 vans

Enjoyable hiking
Absolutely amazing! Was one of the best things I've ever ever done, make no mistake it was very very hard, especially summit night, however the guides are simply amazing, they are very motivating and look after you the whole trip with your blood oxygen level checked twice a day and throughout the climb they are checkng you to make sure everythng is ok.
The food is on another level, hot tasty and more than enough, I'm still in awe of the congratulations cake that was presented after we all summited, how do you bake a cake halfway up a mountain!
Worthy of a special mention is Raphael at Great Lake Expedition, He was fantastic from begining to end, emails where answered quickly, information sent out about the trip was very detailed, nothing was an issue, he is a great asset to Great Lake Expedition,thanks Raphael!
So to summarize, dont just think about it, do it, yes its not cheap, and you may find cheaper companies, however you do get what you pay for, I'm still buzzing 3 weeks on

Great 3 Day Safari!
We took a 3 day Safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara & Tarangire National Park. Rashid was great with communicating with us about the details and arranging everything. The guide was awesome and made the experience great! The camping arrangement were comfortable and the meals were all very good as well. I would highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro.

Wonderful 4 days of motorcycling around Arusha, Same, Lushoto and Massai Steppe
Wonderful 4 days of motorcycling around Arusha, Same, Lushoto and Massai Steppe completely off road, on trails, gravel roads and some tarmac sections in between. We (me + guide Alphy) passed several stunning landscapes... dessert, savanna, mountains and the great plain "Massai Steppe" where many Massai live. In the last section we got to see a nice selection of wildlife: zebras, gnus, antilopes and beautiful blue birds. Riding was quite challenging – especially the ascent to Lushoto... absolutely outstanding motocross experience ! Alphy is a great companion, scout and mechanic, always trying to find the best solution for the trails, food and accommodation. Best accommodation was in Mambo: a wonderful hut with an unforgettable view down Lushoto mountains. Highly recommended adventure – I hope to come back for the Lake Natron section and beyond...

Great experience
Our guide Jo did a great job getting us to and from parks, made sure we are comfortable and safe. With his knowledge of the parks and species we were able to see not only Big Five, but pretty much all the animals of Tanzania! All the accommodations at the parks were very nice and comfortable. We were very happy!
