Very pleased with highly capable and accommodating Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris
My wife and I did a 3-week Kilimanjaro hike and tour of Tanzania and Kenya national parks and reserves with Perfect Wilderness Tours in September, 2022. We were very happy with the services they provided and recommend them without hesitation. There were a couple of tour disruptions caused by others, mainly a long-delayed arrival flight, which Perfect Wilderness skillfully adjusted to to keep our itinerary intact and as scheduled. Highly recommended. Pete & Barb in Boise

Fantastic tour with Perfect Wilderness Tours And Safaris / Mama Savana. Highly recommended.
We bought this tour via Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris as we initially looked into a tour covering both Mara and Serengeti. Perfect Wilderness cooprate with Mama Savana who was the tour operator during the full trip as we ended up prioritizing Serengeti/Tanzania.
We had great and very responsive communication with Betty from Perfect Wilderness Tours & Safari during the planning of the tour. And prior to tour start we also had a brief but comforting phone call with Alex from Mama Savana.
Despite the great Trip advisor reviews (the reason for initiating dialogue) I was still a bit nervous of booking directly with a smaller local company. But absolutely no need to be concerned. We got name and contact info to our guide before our trip started and when we landed in the small airstrip of Kogatende, Isaya was there to greet us and the adventure began. Isaya is a highly experienced guide who both knows his way around and is well connected in the guide community. And has talent and trained eyes to spot where to go next to get fantastic views. No wonder he has been guide for animal photographers.
We benefited from this numerous times: from our front row position witnessing a crossing to the time we were surrounded by a big group of passing elephants - and they did not mind us because the car was placed in the right spot with engine off well in advance of the elephants reaching the game drive road - and to the many close up encounters with the lions, leopard, cheetahs and their cubs. We appreciated he was attentive to giving us great experiences while paying attention to the animals’ needs as well.
The car was well kept and equipped with AC and a fridge to keep beverages cold. Isaya also had great binoculars we used alongside our own to get close up views (and photos).
A single small advice is to walk through the itenary with the guide up front - we had a brief confusion on duration of our stay in Serengeti - maybe due to booking via Perfect Safari but operated by Mama Savana. But easily sorted as soon as we realized cause of the confusion.
Five star to both Perfect Wilderness Tours & Safari, Mama Savana and our great Guide Isaya.
