Small and personal company with excellent service.
We went on safari to Serengeti with Stainbok some weeks ago. Their service, briefing, guide etc were all perfect. We've been travelling in East Africa for almost 40 years and have used several different companies. Stainbok is among the best of all of them. Gideon, the manager, held a very good briefing with us the evening before the safariand even though we've been to Serengeti around 15 times before he found some new places to go to. Good, as we saw a kill, a group of hippos blocking the road, lion cubs in a tree and a civet cat with a newly killed lizard.
Perfect safari.

Couple Safari
We had the opportunity to make a tailor made safari with Stainbok Adventures. We stayed at L'Oasis Lodge and Restaurant in Arusha which we love to recommend to everyone!!
The owner himself came to L'Oasis to plan our safari and answer all our questions. We went for 3 days and two night to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara and stayed at Panorama.
We found Stainbok extremely helpful with our questions and wishes, they even lent us binoculars! Our guide was well experiences, spoke very good english and made our trip a blast. We can't thank you enough for this journey, that we will keep in our hearts the rest of our life.
Feel free to email me (in English, Swedish or Norwegian) if you wish to hear more about our Safari!

Safaritrip and Mt. Meru
Hi.
We had a really great experience with Stainbok Adventures. At first Mr. Gideon talked to us and guided us through which places that could be interesting to visit. We decided to go for a 3-day safari and also do a 3-day hike up to Mt. Meru. During the 3-day safari we visited Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro and Tarangire. Our great guide Godson found a lot of beautiful places for us to visit and we got to see The Big Five! We were very lucky on our last day, until then we had seen 4 of the big five, and last one to catch was the Leopard which we got in sight during our last hour in the park. A great experience with a great and honest company. We also took the "fast" hiking up to Mt.Meru. A lot of the people we met that had hiked both Kilimanjaro och Mt.Meru, told us to go Mt.Meru because of less crowded and more of a challenge because of the incline, though not as high as Kili. We did the hiking in 3 days even though it´s recommended to go in 4 days because of a slower descent. We went up in 2 days and down in one day. The ranger we walked with was awesome and me and my girlfriend was the only ones along with two other pairs to walk up to Mt.Meru during these days. It was a beautiful landscape and we had a unforgetable trip.

As a lesson to life i found that Stainbok Manager is a very solid person we can realy trust!
I Met Mr Gideon Makara one night in Arusha. I find rigth away i can trust im, and next day i was in a suberbe and unforgatable safari in Tanzania. When we finish that safari and i was wayting for a fligth to Dar Es Salam, expecting to return back home, via Dar Es Salam; Dubai; Lisbon i saw that domestic fligth being canceled. On that situation, loosing also the international fligth Dar Es Salam to Dubai, and with only a few hours to reach Nairobi triyng to catch a conection to Dubai i remember someone you can realy trust: Mr Gideon. And there he was at my apeal helping us to make all that work. Tank you Mister Makara for all your crucial help in that dificult moment. I will never forget all worked perfect tanks to you.

My greatest jearney
When my wife and I visited Tanzania for the first time we were met by a fantastic warm welcome feeling, not only from the sun but also from Mr. Makara and his colleagues . We arrived in Arusha by bus from Nairobi (Kenya) in the middle of the night. Picket up by Gideon and driven to our hotel for a good night sleep - hospitality!
Our days on the Serengeti , in Ngorogoro , and other national parks remain as a great memory for all time.
Thanks Gideon !

Personal, reliable service and affordability
I have been on two excursions with Stainbok and have been pleased with the personal, professional service received. The CEO is personally involved with every customer and ensures that smooth service enables a hassle free and pleasant experience.

We wanted a private experience that was also affordable and Stainbok provided both.
The staff were well informed and trustworthy. We always felt safe and were thrilled to see so much game. We feel that the tour gave everything promised and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.

Most professional and serious company. Wonderfull individual safari.
Stainbok gave professional support in planning an individual 8 days safari for 2 Persons with usefull recommendations as to route and accomodation, all bookings and reservations were made by Stainbok and were perfect. I did the planning from Germany, the communication via e-Mail and Skype was helpfull and efficient. The transfer from the airport made it easy for us to relax from the very start of the holiday. Our guide in Tansania was very experienced and professional in all interactions with park officials, hotels, staff, collegues as well as with routes and animals. He was very friendly and cared that we felt at ease while looking for the animals we wished to see. We had a lot of fun too, still our privacy was well respected. We toured Arusha NP, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. It was a wonderfull experience. Of course the car was confortable and well kept, so we felt secure on that issue too, we did not need AC. Thank you to Gideon Makara and Emanuel!!
