A short visit to paradise
Myself and 2 friends booked 3-day Gombe Stream. It was a no-frills trip to possibly the most beautiful place on earth! Everything worked fine, simple and efficient service (basically just booking the flights and getting us from A to B to C etc.) . Totally worth the reasonable price. Lovely boat ride on the lake, simple but good accommodation, fantastic Chimp viewing and forest walk, great bathing in the lake - just relax and have fun in this very un-touristy and atmospheric corner of Africa. Recommended for nature lovers, not for the over-pampered.

Gombe NP is worth it
Booking was easy with gombe wild chimp safari. Communication via email was reliable, but it took some patience to get an answer to my questions beforehand. I booked a 4-day safari to gombe np, and it was totally worth it. The itinerary was slightly different than what I had received beforehand. We arrived at the park only at 5pm and chimp trecking is only possible till 4 pm. So I had two days of trecking and not three, but that was OK. Seeing the chimps was an amazing experince. On the last day, I was back in Kigoma around 6 pm and the hotel there was nice. The boat trip to the park takes approximately 2 hours and is a little rough. The guide in the park was very good, food as well. The room at tanapa Camp was not so nice, but the surroundings made up for it. Drivers both in dar and kigoma were very nice, helpful and on time. Communication during the safari via WhatsApp was very quick and my questions were answered immediately. Thank you

One of the best safaris we've done
We made a couple of days ago an amazing trip to Mahale National Parks. Joshua and his team (special mention to James whom we spent 4 days with) were extremely helpful. We arranged the trip very last minute and had special requests (such as coming to Kigoma from Dar by train) and everything seemed very easy. We had a wonderful time, enjoyed every minute, and would definitely do it again.
For travelers reluctant to go all the way to remote Mahale, do not hesitate, it's absolutely worth it. The place is pristine, and chimps tracking (with a great staff in the park) is excellent.
Asante sana Joshua!

Incredible experience, we got lucky, patience pays off! Beautiful experience.
We loved staying on Lake Tanganyika, the meals were great, it was going on hikes, swimming, kayaking, and walking around the forest to see the chimps. It is less likely see a bunch in the dry season, but with a little bit of patience and effort, we had an absolutely incredible time chilling with the chimps and following them around. The best is once they come down to the forest floor and you can just hang out and snap pics. I loved it and would recommend. Could see bigger groups in the wet season, but the weather/forest in the dry season was really nice.

Solo traveler treated exceptionally well.
As a Solo traveler I was a little apprehensive about everything going according to plan. I usually feel more secure about logistics in groups or when tours are arranged by professional agents.
In this case my anxieties we're quickly relieved. I was met at all appropriate spots and guided to my next destination. At Gombe I coordinated a departure time that fit my schedule. While at Gombe the team coordinated by Joshua served me well and diligently.
I have no reservations; my expectations were exceeded. The cost was more than reasonable.

Great service
Wonderful Safari experience. Pre-trip communication with Joshua was efficient and helpful.
The chimp trekking was incredible.
The ranger was knowledgeable and careful to follow all rules.
Budget camp was clean and large. was pleasantly surprised to have a personal toilet and shower in each tent.
The driver and boat driver were ready as soon as we arrived.

Disappointing cancellation service
Disappointed with the way cancellation was handled. My wife and I had planned a 3 day safari with Joshua in August 2022. However had to cancel due to last minute flight cancellations. He committed to refund 25% of the initial payment. Joshua was very prompt to respond till the time payment was received. However when the cancellation plan was shared, Joshua went AWOL. Still awaiting the refund.
