superb
My recent excursion to Materuni Waterfalls with Golden Memories Safaris was a breathtaking journey into the heart of Tanzania’s natural beauty. From the moment we set out, it was evident that this experience would be nothing short of extraordinary.
The day began with a scenic drive through the stunning Tanzanian countryside, with our knowledgeable guide providing fascinating insights into the local culture and landscape. As we approached Materuni village, the majestic silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro loomed in the distance, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly residents of Materuni village, who graciously shared their traditions and way of life with us. A leisurely hike through lush coffee plantations led us to the breathtaking Materuni Waterfalls, where the sight and sound of cascading waterfalls filled the air with a sense of tranquility.
Swimming in the crystal-clear pools beneath the falls was a rejuvenating experience, offering a moment of pure serenity amidst the beauty of nature. We also had the opportunity to sample freshly brewed coffee, roasted using traditional methods, providing a taste of authentic Tanzanian hospitality.
Throughout the day, Golden Memories Safaris ensured that every detail was taken care of, from transportation and guiding to safety and comfort. Their commitment to providing an immersive and unforgettable experience was evident in every aspect of the journey.
I cannot recommend Golden Memories Safaris enough for anyone looking to explore the hidden gems of Tanzania with a trusted and reputable tour operator. The Materuni Waterfalls day trip is a testament to their dedication to providing exceptional service and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Thank you, Golden Memories Safaris, for an unforgettable journey filled with moments of beauty, tranquility, and connection with nature.

Excellent communication and planning
I had initially been working with another tour operator who was not as responsive as I would like. I reached out to others, and chose CKC for their responsiveness and sample itineraries. John worked with me for about a month to refine our trip schedule, and was attentive to our flight arrival time so that we could check in to our Nairobi hotel as soon as we arrived. We even got breakfast that day at the hotel! John arranged for our hot air balloon ride over Masai Mara National Park at sunrise, and it will probably be the most favorite hour of my life! Over our 10 day stay, we had 4 different drivers, and they were all excellent. Simon knew every back road of Masai Mara and got us front-row views of every animal. Isack navigated the difficult roads of Tanzania very well, stayed with us at the Serengeti tented camp, and took us down into the fantastic Ngorongo Crater. He made sure we were able to see a rhino, even at a long distance. We would have never spotted it on our own. CKC Tours took care of us very personally and very professionally. I highly recommend you plan a trip with them!

Great experience and great driver
Hello, driving in Africa can be complicated and rough on park roads. Your life depends on your drivers skills. And your park and game viewing experience also depend on the driver. Jimmy was fantastic in all regards. He drove us safely there and back to Nairobi, gave us moderate “African massage” (term used to describe drives in bumpy gravel roads), showed us so many animals in the parks!
The experience was absolutely recommendable.
The optional activities: bike ride in Hell’s Gate, Masai village and cruise could actually be included in the tour, because all three are wonderful and should not be skipped.
Accommodation varied but was always clean and correct, with nice staff. Food was all right.
Tip - make sure you carry all you need with you (toothpaste etc) because there are no shops on the way.
And your life in Kenya will be much easier if you activate the mpesa account (digital payment … everyone uses it and the app comes per default in the safari SIM card. Otherwise get the app).
I did a 7 day 6 night safari: Nairobi, Masai Mara (2 nights), Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli (2 nights) back to
Nairobi.
RECOMMENDABLE!

Overall honest and good
Maggie and her team made this unquestionably the best trip of our lifetime. Our first safari experience in Masai Mara was an unforgettable. Planning our trip through Bison was hassle free and extremely easy. We were grateful that we had selected a company with such expertise and knowledge tailored to our choices. They were so easy to work with. They replied to all our queries and emails promptly, giving us lots of options. Masai Mara was spectacular, from the big five to the breath-taking landscapes and abundant wildlife and birds. The safari was the most memorable.

He was very accommodative and friendly
Our private safari day was simply amazing! We got to see "all" of the animals closely and in a safe way. They were professional from start to finish, and Albert especially gave me and my friend an unforgettable day. I can definitely recommend this!

Fantastic experience - great sights and friendly, knowledgable guide! 10/10
My husband and I recently went on a morning 3 hour game drive with MoAfrika Tours. We had a fantastic experience, I’d highly recommend them to anyone.
Communication before and on the day was great, we met our guide Tiaan easily. Tiaan was a brilliant guide, he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and birds and got us some great sightings during our trip. Even a leopard! Would highly recommend Tiaan and MoAfrika to anyone.

Great safari tour provided by Jangwa Tour & Safari
I highly recommend Jangwa Tour & Safari who organised a 12 days tour in Namibia for me in January 2024. Not easy to have a safari tour company accept a solo traveler. Not only David Botha was responsive to all my questions but also adapted and modified the tour at the last minute when my arrival flight was canceled due to a tropical storm in Mauritius. He rescheduled transfers and hotels with a smile.
The 2 pics of the tour were Sesriem at le Mirage and Okonjima at Okonjima Plains Camp, the most beautiful hotel of all, magnificent reserve, fabulous rooms and adorable staff, and an incredible Leopard tracking.
Even if January is supposedly not the best season to visit Namibia due to rain season, I was lucky with a fabulous weather all the way through.
Thank you David once again, it is a trip to remember for ever.
