Wonderful safari company and saw the BIG FIVE!!!
I initially enquired with about 15 different safari companies about doing a personalised safari over 5 days in Tanzania. I wanted it to incorporate Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater, Serengeti and Tarangire National Park. Most other companies said it couldn't be done over 5 days or told me that we would have to drop one of the destinations, but Naenda came back to me very quickly and said that they would be able to do the trip that my husband and I wanted to do, that they would be able to do it within our timescales (which were not flexible) and we would be staying in luxury accommodation (as it was our honeymoon).
The price we were quoted was incredibly competitive and we were extremely happy with the level of service we received before travelling - Abidan was great and responded very quickly (definitely within 24 hours or every email we sent if not much much quicker).
Jesse (our driver) was great as well and we managed to see the Big Five all on one day at Ngorogoro Crater, which I thought was basically impossible (thanks to poaching of rhino and leopards being elusive)!
The following day at Serengeti, we were extremely lucky to see four cheetah, a large pride of lion (about 11-15), another leopard, a hippo out of the water, a porcupine and a black mamba. All of the animals (bar maybe the leopard) were visible with the naked eye so we were close.
I have been on a number of safaris before (South Africa, Kenya, Gambia) but have never before experienced anything like Tanzania. The animals are magnificent, the people are genuine and wonderful and the accommodation is top-notch.
I would absolutely recommend Naenda to anyone wishing to do a safari in Tanzania. If you're looking for a completely personalised service, a great driver and a first class service then please do go with Naenda.

Satisfactory .
The service i received from falcon safaris was very useful . I stayed at the guest house on Gibson road during the new year period , and can't complain too much . However the shower facilities at the guest house were not at all satisfactory as there was hardly any pressure and no hot water for majority of our stay. Despite this I had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to use falcon safaris again .

All of the Big 5 in one day!
As far as viewing wild game, few places come close to Kruger. From the minute we entered the park we began to see game, and it continued for the next several days. It was amazing. The campsites are clean and well appointed, the guides are professional and knowledgeable. The scenery is beautiful. Our group went in November and the weather was quite warm and was lovely. There wasnt much of a true "bush" vibe as Kruger accommodates a lot of tourists, but it was still quite lovely and didnt really detract much from the overall aesthetic.
Plentiful and varied wildlife
We saw over 100 elephants, 2 rhinos, 50 cape buffalo, 1 lion

The Real African Safari Experience.
I had my tour arranged African Spoonbill Tours and Safaris on a short notice. The tour company was extremely well organized which made a big impact on the entire Safari Experience.
Ngorongoro Crater was my last stop, however on my first day we did manage to get a glimpse of the crater from a height. The first thing that impressed me was the breath-taking scenery. The place made me feel like I was in Mongolia. As we started driving through the dirt road we managed to sight all the Big Fives in a couple of hours which was the highlight of the Safari. Among all the sights Ngorongoro us where I had the best experience.

Trip of a lifetime!
Our safari with Caracal tours was fantastic. Marion answered every question we could think of in advance and was always prompt with her replies. Ben is a wonderful and patient guide. He is very knowledgeable and has eyes like an eagle for spotting animals! He was absolutely flexible but never without a plan. We learned so much more than I could have imagined about the animals as well as the people of Tanzania and their unique culture. Caracal Tours is a small company and so they are able to accommodate your interests and give you the4 safari of your dreams. The accommodations that they chose for us were all quite nice. I am not a tent camping kind of person but I have to admit the tent camps were probably the best part of the trip!

Once in a lifetime trip with our children beautifully executed by Easy Travel and Tours!
I picked Easy Travel Tours over other companies I researched due to their timely response to my initial requests, attention to details of what I wanted on our tour, costs and friendliness. They exceeded all of our expectations. We just finished our 13 day safari and beach adventure and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about Easy Travel Tours, the accommodations, the itinerary, and our guide (Emmanuel). Our guide was exceptional and used his extensive knowledge of the area and animals to ensure we saw an abundance of animals up close and personal. We could not have asked for anything more for this trip. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!

Even better than I expected!
While considering a trip to Africa I came across The Safari Partners. I contacted Chris and the rest is history. My trip was customized to include some time in Cape Town & Stellenbosch before heading to Victoria Falls then to Botswana for safari. Everything far exceeded my expectations, from communications with Chris to the actual flights, tours and accommodations. Everything happened exactly as it was supposed to. I highly recommend Safari Partners and will definitely use them when booking my next adventure in Africa!
