Excellent Service, Fantastic Tour Package
We booked a safari and Zanzibar tour with Regional about 2 weeks before visiting and were delighted with the quick turnaround to put together what proved to be an outstanding tour.
Our guide for the safari, Alan, was exemplary. He was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout, helping to make our a truly special experience.
We had choice in the kind of accommodation throughout and all venues (6 in all) were of the highest standard, both on safari and on Zanzibar.
In all, I would strongly endorse Regional and cannot praise their helpfulness highly enough.

My Safari
I was part of the group of six that on safari with Base Camp Tanzania as reviewed by Brian. I agree with everything as reviewed by Brian. I know there are many safari operators but I can't imagine what any of them would have better that what was provided to us by Base Camp Tanzania. I would not hesitate to use this company.

5 day Lake Nakuru/Maasai Mara Safari
Jamboree Tours and Safari was fabulous!!! My friend and I were on a student budget, and the 5 day safari to Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara National Park exceeded expectations and we were able to see so much without breaking the bank. Caesar was very prompt with returning our emails and answering every question we had. Furthermore, when we were in Nairobi about to embark on our safari, President Obama was scheduled to be in Nairobi on the same day. His visit forced road closures everywhere around our hotel, and Caesar and his team were able to rearrange our safari tour dates to be able to leave a day earlier and return a day earlier on very short notice. Peter, our tour guide, was incredible! He was extremely knowledgeable and patient, and really took the passengers' wants and needs into consideration at all times. He was able to arrange small excursions not originally on the detailed schedule, and was very friendly. All in all, both Peter and the Jamboree staff went above and beyond to make this an incredible experience. We will definitely choose this company again if we ever go back!

Fantastic experience and best guide ever
I searched the Internet for weeks trying to decided on the best safari that met are needs. As avid travelers we wanted to see as much as we could in the limit amount of time that we had. Romeo made it happen!!!! I told him our travel plan and within a few hours I had the details for a trip of a lifetime.
It is one thing to book the ultimate itenerary but it is another to have a guide that can make it the everything you had ever hoped for. We had such a guide. Amos was the most pleasant , easy going, eager to please person we could have ever hoped for. He was so patient with us as we waited for just the right picture. He always seemed to be at the right place at the right time and we benefited from his sharp eye and keen since of knowing where to go.
My wife writes a travel blog and you can see a glimpse of what we experienced. You can find great pictures and travel advice from this trip and 100's more at kimberlyleupo.com.
Don't waste your time searching anymore. You have, by good foutune, landed on the best safari outfitter in the area. BOOK IT!!!

Thanks Safarihub
e are so happy we chose to travel with Safarihub Our experience with them was great from A to Z - they were very easy communicate with, were receptive to all our requests and corresponded back and forth with us until we were perfectly happy with our itinerary. Their vehicles are so comfortable and well-maintained, and our guide was just great - professional, nice, experienced, and had great English. It was our honeymoon, and they made sure to communicate it to all of our lodging in advance, so there was usually some sort of treat or surprise waiting for us in each one!
We highly recommend choosing Safarihub for a safari in Tanzania! All the good reviews are completely justified.

Loved this safari
This is my second time with SafariHub . I was so impressed with them on my first safari I had to come back. They did an awesome job of custom tailoring a safari my handicapped mother could enjoy. She addressed all of our concerns and was so informative and helpful with any questions we had.They also sewed a hole in one our duffle bags and opened the gift shop just for us. We got up close and personal with all of the African wildlife from an elephant nursing her baby to lions on a kill .Thank you Safarihub !

Best safari ever and wonderful organized Cape Town stay
Kathi from African Welcome Safari was wonderful. Each Email was answered immediately and she took care that everything worked very well. She even called the lodge to tell them about our food preferences. The private tours organized by African Welcome in and around Cape Town were perfect. I can not imagine anything what could have been done better. The Safari Lodge recommended by Kathi was incredible, wonderful rooms, very private, great game drives, niche walking tours in the bush and great food prepared by an excellent chef.
For my next travel to Africa I will for sure contact African Welcome Safari again to organize my trip.

Professional yet friendly
I made a trip to the maasai mara for a small budget and was completely satisfied with the guide and accommodation (big tents including bathroom, comfy bed and moskito net).

Excellent first safari experience
My husband and I travelled to South Africa in January 2016 and booked a safari with Paperjet Travel at Madikwe Hills. We were very unsure about exactly what to book since this was our first safari but Paperjet helped us every step of the way, from selecting the right safari reserve and camp with us to answering all our questions about what to bring. I would highly recommend booking with Paperjet, who are extremely experienced but also very friendly and easy to deal with.

Spot On!!
This is a small company and as a result, can offer custom, personalized service at reasonable prices.
Magda, who is part owner and runs the front office, did a superb job, educated me, listened to what I wanted, answered all of my questions and set up an ideal trip for me. She and her team are well organized and responsive. The seven day safari cost about $5000, and was private - just myself and a guide. Worth every penny.
I asked Magda for a guide who had a strong interest in photography, was communicative, but knew how to be quiet as well. She gave me Meleck, who was an ideal fit. Meleck was a complete professional when we were in the vehicle, dedicated to driving, spotting animals and setting up some great compositions for me, as well as explaining animal behavior. At night, we chatted a lot - he's interested and knowledgeable about African politics, economics and culture, so this gave us a lot to talk about.
As an aside, I'm told that the luxury companies don't let the guides dine with their clients. As well as smacking a tad of colonialism, this would have ruled out some great table conversations we had ourselves and with other groups.
If you are interested in a well run, comfortable, pleasant safari without the unnecessary costs and constraints of a luxury company, this outfit is for you.
