Capable and easy to work with
Despite our unusual trip specifics which took us all over Kenya, from pickup point to moving around a lot, Safari Revive managed to put it all together and all the reservations, transport, game drives, drivers and trips went smoothly - and they did it all at a reasonable price, without charging crazy fees.
We would especially like to thank Ms. Linda Orlando for the patience and effort she invested into our trip. We sincerely recommend Safari Revive and would be happy to use it again!

Incredible experience and excellent guide
My friends and I have just returned from a 5-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours -- and it completely exceeded our expectations. It was my third trip to Tanzania, so I'm no stranger to safari in Tanzania -- but this trip was special as I brought my closest friends along with me to experience one of my favorite places on Earth. I wanted it to be truly epic and Wakanda Tours delivered in every sense of the word.
Bartho designed a custom itinerary for us, and arranged an excellent guide and superb accommodation. Our guide Felix was kind, professional, responsible and engaging. It was clear from the start that he has years of experience as a wildlife guide. His eagle eyes could spot animals from miles away and he was always sharing valuable information about the wildlife with us. He was also constantly communicating with other guides in the area to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible.
Thanks to Felix, we saw all of the Big Five, including the elusive leopard (up close!). Felix also spotted the rare white rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater from a mile away, while driving! Besides masterfully navigating some challenging roads (not uncommon in the rainy season), he also managed to feed us warm, comforting meals everyday. While other travelers seemed to be munching on cold sandwiches, we were treated to a nice spread every day for lunch -- from beef stew and rice to spaghetti and even pizzas! We wished there were more Tanzanian grub though, like Ugali and Nyama Choma. :D
All the lodging we stayed at was excellent, especially Wakanda's new luxury camp, Lala Salama. Our glamping tents were enormous and luxurious. I even had the chance to take a bath in their hot tub, with a view of giraffes in the far distance. At night, we would fall asleep to the sound of hyenas howling and one night the Masai ranger even spotted a jackal while walking me back to the tent. Lala Salama is run by a great team made up of enthusiastic Tanzanians from the nearby town of Karatu, and they're all warm, friendly, and so full of energy.
Even though it was my third trip to the area, Wakanda Tours still managed to blow me away. Serengeti and Ngorongoro are truly some of the best wildlife destinations in the world and I was so thrilled to see that Tanzania has done such a great job at protecting their wildlife and national park. I will be back for sure and the next time I know who I'll be traveling with.

Axis makes it possible for you to have the trip of a lifetime!
Everything went perfectly with Axis from day one. Monica is an incredibly friendly and patient woman. She took all our requests into account and put together a fantastic trip for us.
Our driver and guide was Kalifah. He’s an amazing driver and a wonderful guide! He was always highly motivated to give us the best safari of our lives, and he succeeded. We would definitely book with Axis and the two of them again! Asante sana!!

Marvelous Experience with Professional and Friendly Service
We had an incredible safari experience visiting Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park with Serengeti Smile. From the beginning, communication was clear and professional, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
The team was reliable and well-organized, and our guide (Mr. God) was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. We saw a wide variety of animals and learned so much about the parks. Each destination offered something unique—from the thriving scenery of Manyara, to the breathtaking views of Ngorongoro, and the large elephant herds in Tarangire.
The service throughout the trip was excellent, and we felt well taken care of at all times. The experience was truly worth the cost, offering great value for money.
We highly recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized safari in Tanzania.

A Truly Unique Safari Experience.
I'm so excited! My family and I travelled with Kilinyota Safaris and although it is a small company, they truly exceeded our expectations. They provided outstanding service, showed genuine care and supported us throughout the entire journey. They responded promptly to all our emails, were incredibly welcoming and maintained a high level of cleanliness.The vehicles were excellent and very comfortable.
If we travel again, we would absolutely choose to go with Kilinyota Safaris
Gilbert was so AMAZING!!
The safari exceeded expectations on every front. We knew a safari would be amazing, but this was next level. From the planning, to the actual experience and everything in between.
I told Ontarget what I was after (budget, accommodation, experience) and a tailor made safari was made just for our family, better than any travel agent could curate a trip!! Fast response times always from Ontarget and their guides and they were more than happy to answer all my questions and ease all my worries whilst planning the safari. Everything then was executed exactly to plan when the actual safari began, and even when weather ruined plan A, plan B was established and executed by Ontarget with absolutely no issues!
The accomodation was great, the food was great, but what was the greatest was our guides Gilbert (5 days- Tanzania) and Charles (1 day-Kenya) who made the experience go from great to FANTASTIC. They were so knowledgeable, professional and provided an unforgettable experience getting to see animals in their natural habitat. They provided us the opportunity to view animals up close whilst respecting the animals territory and space.
Gilbert was much more than just a guide, he packed the car, served us lunch, provided us with so much knowledge, insight and fun facts, drove us in some tricky terrain and so much more. I can’t reiterate how much we loved this trip, and can’t thank Gilbert enough for the incredible experience he provided us with.

Well organized
This was a great safari - Tina helped us plan an amazing trip, including some complicated logistics with people leaving and joining at different times. Walter was a great and careful guide who found great animal sightings in all the parks we went to. His years of experience was clear in the quality of the safari!

Competent, fast and helpful
The whole experience has been flawless, from booking to information requests and finally the trip. I feel like the price is in line with other similar offers for private tours, so I can comment positively on that part. Being currently rain season we were advised to choose for a slightly different path wich we accepted. The change in plan has not compromised the overall quality of our trip and we've been able to find and see all the animals we were wishing for. Thanks to Champion for the wonderful experience you provided on our first ever safari trip!
