STEPHEN BEST TOUR OPERATOR - WONDERFUL, AMAZING AND CRAZY TOUR
5/5

I did seven days (five days on safari and two days seeing the Masaai, Datoga and Handzabe tribes).
It was wonderful.
Stephen is a wonderful guy, outstanding, friendly, helpful, welcoming and smiling; I wouldn't know what to say negative about him.
He assists you in everything and helps you with all your problems.
Even at the end of the week with him, he took me to change money, to get my bus ticket and took me to another hostel, going a long way to accompany me; he treated me very well and with his team of guys he gave me exceptional and unique experiences of local life and local traditions, not the usual tourist experiences.
I had a really good time.
In fact, as soon as I arrived at the hostel where he took me, I asked him if he could give me a tour of the waterfalls and springs and he said yes (no problem), always putting you at ease.
Super good and great person, he acted like a brother to me.
I recommend everyone to have an experience with Stephen from Adventure Makers.

Trip of a Lifetime!!!!!!!!!!
5/5

It is difficult to capture in words what an incredible experience we had with Stephen and Adventure Makers Tanzania. Prior to arriving, I knew I was in good hands. Stephen went out of his way to create a tailor-made vacation for my boys - ages 14 and 18 - and I. We landed on a six-day Safari - Arusha National Park, Tarengerie, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti and Manyara National Park - followed by 4 nights in Zanzibar. Every single aspect of our vacation was wonderful. And the best part - by far - was Stephen.
Stephen is warm, engaging, fun and he truly cares. Our luggage was "misplaced" by the airlines and Stephen went out of his way to assist us. He and my boys also totally hit it off and by the end of Safari, we truly felt like Stephen was a member of our family.
As for safari, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! The parks and lodges chosen by Stephen, coupled with the abundance in wildlife, exceeded all of our expectations.
If you are considering safari, please do not book with anyone else!!

A safari planned by the family you didn’t know you had in Tanzania
5/5

From months before I arrived, Stephen wrote asking me exactly what I was looking for to make the dream vacation with my 11 and 14 year old kids. By the time he got me at the airport, I felt like I was meeting an old friend. He made so much time to take us to local restaurants and shopping outside of the safari so we could truly experience Arusha too. The safari itself is what I wanted - more rustic with us using tents and staying at small family-owned locations. The chef cooked great meals using ingredients all bought from the local markets. The driver was unreal in his ability to handle roads and driving conditions that I know there is zero chance I could have done! We saw all of the animals we wanted - I don't get why people would not come towards the end of the rainy season when all of the babies are still with their parents. Going to multiple parks allowed us to see so many animals in different habitats. It is difficult to explain just how different it is seeing even the same animals inside the crater verses crossing the street in the Serengeti. Having an experienced driver is crucial because in addition to how freaking scary the roads, the guide can spot animals way in advance. There are a lot of options for tours but what I got with this one was an owner who genuinely cared to make my experience personal to make my dream come true. It was the little extra things Stephen did that I do not think a large company would ever do and that made a difference.

5/5

We did Kilimanjaro over 6 days via Marangu route with Steven's company.
Everything exceeded expectations, from the moment Steven picked us up at the airport until he said goodbye on our final day. Accomadation was great, guides,chef and porters were a brilliant team,funny and talkative.
Steven is a great guy who is fluent in English and always reachable by phone. Even contacted us on Kilimanjaro to make sure everything was going to plan. At short notice Steven changed our hotel to one closer to the airport at our request l.Couldnt recommend his company more. Would definitely use this company again

Perfect trip to Kilimanjaro.
5/5

Hey, my name is David and I booked a Kilimanjaro tour from Adventure Makers. The tour was the Lemosho rod and it was perfect. I have never seen Tanzania from this view! The team that was on our side was nice, helpful and really kind. The food was always freshly cooked and delicious. The tour guides were really polite and nice to us. Without them, we would not secede on the Kilimanjaro. All in all was this adverser wonderful for myself and my friends. If i every clime the Kilimanjaro again, I will choose Adventure Makers!

Perfect
5/5

An amazing experience in family that we can only recommend! Since the beginning of these project Stephen was clear, professional, adaptable and very responsive. It was easy to organise this wonderful game drive safari with Adventure Makers and thank you for that. This stay in the middle of nowhere in Serengeti national park / Ngorongoro Conservation Area was just exceptional. The guide (Simon) with who we were was pedagogic, patient and friendly, it was a pleasure to spend this time together. There was no inconvenience since the beginning that made this trip very easy and of course unforgettable. Thank you Stephen and Adventure Makers

PS: after that we organised with Stephen the Kilimandjaro climb that was also amazing and without any inconvenience!

Flexible, tailored to needs service, well delivered.
5/5

We were looking for a combo safari-3 nights lodges, 3 nights wild camping, to save on costs and experience both options at the same time. This company, as one of the few, took an effort to understand what I needed and adjust the orignal itinerary. Moreover, we had a change of flights at the last moment-they adjusted accordingly. And-what mat be deceiving in some other companies offers-here 7 day safari means 7 days of actually being in the parks. Some companies count the first day in Arusha as first day of safari.
