Paradise and Wilderness, worked hard to ensure that my safari was world class, they succeeded.
5/5

From the first contact with this company, my sales associate (Iddy) was execellent. He tailored the safari to my dates and times, was extremely responsive to my (many many) questions. And even during the safari, he reached out several times to ensure that our groups experience was going smoothly.

When we arrived in Tanzania, our transfer was on time and comfortable. The first lodge we stayed at in Arusha was beautiful, and the staff was excellent in making us feel welcome.

Our guide (Domiyas) could not have been better, he was an invaluable resource in helping us understand the unique attributes of each park, the different wildlife we were seeing, and listened closely to us if we needed to stop for souvenir buying, or toilets, or ... really anything. Seriously, ask for Domiyas and you won't be disappointed.

The lodges we stayted at (6 of them), were all a treat. The beds were comfortable, the food was exceptional, the staff was always warm and welcoming, we loved every evening.

The game drives were amazing, each of the parks we visitied (Tarangire, Ngongoro Crater, Lake Natron, Serengeti) were fascinating. Lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, so many types of antelopes, wart hogs. It' hard to explain how cool this experience is.

I've only done one safari, so I don't have a comparison, but Paradise and Wilderness set a high bar for me. I honestly don't know what they could have done better. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time, because it was very good organized.
5/5

Everything was excellent. Our guide Domiyas was very friendly and caring for our wishes. Only thing that could improve is dinner at Africa Safari South Serengeti. It was okay, but could be much better.

Amazing safari trip followed by lovely days on Zanzibar
4/5

We had booked a 4-day safari in Selous Game Reserve followed by a holiday on Zanzibar at the Reef & Beach Resort. The safari was an extraordinary experience, sleeping in the middle of the wilderness, delicious food, very well-organized excursions with great guides, lots of great animals. The holiday on Zanzibar was lovely, the hotel complex was a bit overcrowded at times, which was noticeable when you sat by the pool. The staff were generally friendly, but we were unhappy with the cleaning staff, as they only cleaned the room if you left them a tip. On the days when we didn't leave a tip, our towels were taken away and not cleaned. Otherwise, we were very happy with our stay at the Reef & Beach. We were also very happy with the food.

The surprrise and amazing of nature
5/5

It was well organized, very friendly and competent guides (especially the driver, named John), we did see so many amazing landscapes, animals (all big 5, but that would not have been necessary) and had also much fun.
The lodges were large and comfortable, the meals good, coffee was ok, ...., all good

Very good and honest agent helped us booking, super great tour guide took us safari
5/5

The travel agent Diana helped me a lot in making my last minute booking. She answered a lot of my questions and was very patient with my back and forth in plan changes. She finally helped me secured a fly-in-fly-out mid-range Serengeti safari trip with a very good price at the last minute (I literally booked and paid the day before I flew from Arusha to Seronera).
Our tour guide Derick was a super great and nice guy, we had a wonderful 5 days trip with him. The vibe was always pleasant and he always communicated with us well. He gave professional suggestion about the arrangement while was also willing to adjust the routes based on our need. He has very sharp eyes and can always spot animals hundreds meters away without binocular, that was very impressive!
Highly recommend this operator and our tour guide Derick.

Amazing!
5/5

My 19yo son and I had a great time with our safari-guide Boni. He knew so much about all the animals and nature.

We stayed in great accomodations during the safari. We got wistles for the night, so we could blow the wistle at night if we were in trouble 😉

We have seen the Big 5 and a lot of other great animals.
Lunches were a great surprise every day, we loved it all.

Excellent safari tour
5/5

Both the accommodation and the tour were excellent and a good value for money. Joe, the driver/guide took us exactly to the place were we could see the animals clearly. The two of us had our private jeep which was very comfortable. We had a wonderful time in Tanzania.

Experienced tour operator, good guides, good accommodation.
4/5

A friend and I were on safari for 4 days. The guides were good to very good. They were very eager to show us many animals and explain a lot. The accommodation in the camp was very good. The cabins had everything you need and were very clean. Unfortunately, the pool was only half filled with unclean water. We didn't use it.
The price-performance ratio was right for me and we always felt safe in the camp thanks to the Maasai, even when one night the monkeys roared very loudly because a leopard was hunting.
We did the safari 3 times in the 4 days, the boat tour and the hike through the bush which was more of a 2 hour walk. But: we learned a lot about the Maasai.
The people at the reception were very friendly and helpful and in the restaurant and bar you immediately felt at home as everyone was so friendly. All in all a very good stay!
