A good start with a terrible end game...
In the beginning everything was good with this company. I have spoken with Jimmy and he was so nice. I paid half part of the money in the summer. Then he told me my reservation is guaranteed. A few months later in September I got an other message and he wanted the other half of the price because my reservation was not guaranteed anymore. I didn’t want to pay everything in advance but finally I just accepted his argument and we wanted to go there.
After everything was ok. In the first few days our safari was amazing with our guide (Christopher). But after when we were going to back Arusha our experience has become terrible. John (Christopher’s boss) called us because something was wrong with the money and fees on the border of Ngorongoro. So we had to pay more 430 dollar. It was the only one way to go back Arusha. Finally John promised us we will meet in Arusha and he will give back our money in cash. Of course it wasn’t true. John just disappeared and when we arrived to Arusha Christopher got out of the car and ran away.
After this experience we realized these guys weren’t from Swahili directly. It was a no and company and Swahili just gave us for them. So I can’t understand what happened exactly that day. But we have a really bad experience with this safari so be careful and don’t pay in advance!!!

Amazing safari experience
The operator was very good to communicate with, we got answers quickly before the actual trip. Service was also good, I think the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We saw so many animals and some of them from very close. Good driver and a good chef, we will always remember this trip.

We had a wonderful time at Tremisana and Marc's Treehouse Lodge with the friendly and inviting staff
We booked a three night safari in South Africa in Kruger National Park using Swahili Paradise Tours and Safaris and were very happy with the experience. The staff at Tremisana and Marc's Treehouse is the highlight of the entire experience- They are friendly, inviting, and very accommodating. The facilities are clean and well maintained though they aren't the most modern. It's hardly a problem because you won't be spending too much time there anyway. You can get Wi-Fi in the common area at each location, but not really anywhere else. The staff is very helpful if you need to find the right adapter to charge your mobile device. The bush walks are a great addition to the safari drives. The guides are very knowledgeable and provide a lot more information about the wildlife and landscapes than you'd ever get from just driving around the area.

Amazing Experience All Around
Our experience with safari bookings was fantastic!! 8 of us in our group all had a once in a lifetime trip on the 3day safari. I booked everything through Jimmy who basically became our travel agent for any and everything we needed arranged! He had rides for us to and from airports and hostel suggestions for the days prior and after the safari. Everything ran smooth and on time and was professional and higher than our expectations! The food prepared by our chefs on the safari were a pleasant surprise too we really enjoyed it even though that was something we were worried about! The camping arrangements were top notch as well! Camping one night in the central Serengeti and another night on the rim of the ngororongo crater - we were in awe! The tents and sleeping bags were cozy as well, although you may want to bring a pillowcase and stuff some clothes in it to use as a pillow! During the safari I think we saw just about every animal we could think of - it was as if we’d name an animal we wanted to see next and out of nowhere boom it was right in front of us. There were 8 of us total in our group and not a single one of us has anything negative to say about this experience. A great deal budget camping for a safari and an overall fantastic experience! DO IT!

Great shared safari! No complaints!
We were very satisfied with the Serengeti/Ngorongoro 3 days/2 nights safari! Jimmy was of great help. He booked not only safari for us, but also accommodation and transfers in Zanzibar plus the flight from Zanzibar to Arusha. We managed to see lots of animals in the open plains of Serengeti, as well in the Ngorongoro crater. We opted for the shared safari, sleeping in tents. There were six of us in the group. The car was in decent condition, the driver/guide was informative and the cook prepared delicious meals. Recommended!

Excellent 3-day Serengeti and NgoraNgora tour
The communications, both written and oral, were clear. The service was excellent! The guides gave good description of the animals, birds and the nature with interesting details, noticed many animals which one can easily miss (especially cheetahs). Saw many animals: lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffe, monkeys, hippos, wildebeasts, zebras, ostriches, eagles, other birds, hogs. Saw a lion hunting a hog (luckily managed to escape). Visited a maasai village. Exceeded my expectations.

Awesome Experience From Start To Finish
Did a 3D/2N Camping Safari that started in Arusha with an airport drop-off at JRO. From the start communication via email and Whatsapp was quick and efficient. I made arrangements with Jimmy which included a bank transfer deposit and paid the balance in Arusha with the smiling and friendly Mashaka. Juma our driver and guide was knowledge and great on the well planned game drives. Paul our chef provide some tasty meals that I'm sure added a few pounds. This trip definitely exceeded my expectations and I hope to do another one with Paradise Tours.
