wonderful trip in Tanzania with Gundua
I used safaribookings.com to find a local agency to organize our trip. Several agencies answered and I chose Gundua because the quality/proce level was good and they were very professional answering my questions, quick and with details showing they know their business. It has been the right choice: everything went perfect, excellent service. very nice and efficient driver, staying at very good camps for a fair price (I would not say cheap because Tanzania is not cheap but for the same price than other companies Gundua was offering a higher level of camps and hotels. Do not hesitate to travel with them. Our route was: Manyara-lake Easy, Ngonrongoro- Central Serengeti-North Serengeti to spot the migration-Lake Natron- Mto Wa Mbu - Tarangire - Chagga area close to Kilimanjaro
I would only say Manyara is not top, but not bad if it is your first park and Chagga area is not woth the 6 hours drive (3+3) from Arusha. All the other places were incredible and hot spots you cannot miss, especially if you want to see more than just animals: tribes (and not only Masai), local culture and live.... Morever Gundua organized wonderful experiences: nice treks to waterfalls, eating with local people, visiting plantations...

Amazing wildlife and perfect organisation
Travelling to Selous in Tanzania was an incredible trip to discover wildlife. Scenic views are very diverse and take you to a different world. On the organisation side, the trips are really smooth and qualitative (transportation, catering,...).
Guides are very helpful and ready to answer questions anytime.

Great people, great country, terrible government
Generally, the people in Tanzania are very helpful, friendly but poor. Corruption level is very high (especially with police and government positions). I got the impression that Tanzanian government want to keep its population poor for their own benefit. This did not feel very comfortable. Country is very rich in natural resources and has beautiful scenery, parcs and beaches. The high corruption level is a disturbing factor however

A land of smiley and welcoming people
Thank you Kitonga Tours for a fantastic Safari trip!
I am writing a review as we found that organizing a safari in Tanzania without going through an agent has been very complex.
Costs are extremely high and how to know if the company you are hiring is any good for the price?
We are a French/Danish family with two children (11 and 15 years) that went to game drive in the beautiful, large and less crowded Ruaha national park with a total of 5 nights of which 3 nights were spent inside the park in August 2022 (we stayed the 2 other nights in transit in Iringa).
We chose to travel by jeep from Dar Es Salaam to the Ruaha park and even though it is a long journey of approx. 12 hours to Iringa, we were very happy to have done it as it gave us a great possibility to see and enjoy The Tanzanian countryside.
All the details of the 6 days (5 nights) trip package were coordinated via email/sms with Paul (our guide) and everything was delivered without flaw. We met Gerald the owner of the company in Iringa, a very simpatic and smiley man before driving further via a long and bumpy dirt road to the Ruaha park entrance.
Paul (guide) and Isa (our driver and guide) were both with us the entire trip and did everything they could to accommodate our wishes and always arrived on time when we were to be picked up in the morning.
Isa was an excellent driver on road (feeling very safe including when we drove from Dar Es Salaam to Ruaha) and off road before and in the park (agile and comfortable)
Their safari jeep was in excellent condition and very comfortable to sit in and with a small refrigerator to keep the water bottles cool. We felt safe at all times.
Isa and Paul were very helpful in spotting animals - we saw all the big five (among others) except the Rhino that does not live in the park.
We ended the tour having a great and relaxed relationship with them. Both are really nice and sympathetic people.
The Ruaha park is a gem offering a large variety of colourful landscape and vegetation ( rivers, flat and dry terrain, hills , rocky area, with many plant species including many Baobab trees in certain areas, and combining dry and green areas in August ). We really appreciated there were extremely few jeeps inside the Ruaha park, so we could get an authentic feeling of being on a safari, and it was possible to drive for long distances and many hours without meeting another jeep. Be aware however that in this park you will not see dense packs of animals like buffalos, zebras, antelopes like you can see in the Serengeti park. You will find more sparced and smaller groups of animals within a larger park.
We can highly recommend a tour organised with Kitonga Tours. Kitonga Tours will also be highly capable to organise safari tours to all other national parks in Tanzania.
