Most caring and organized tour operator!
5/5

A truly great safari experience goes beyond just spotting wildlife; it’s a holistic and transformative journey that engages all the senses and leaves a lasting impact.
A great safari will maximize opportunities for close-up, respectful wildlife viewing in their natural habitats. This includes encounters with the “big five “ (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo), as well as other diverse species, such as zebras, hippos, alligators, and a vast array of bird life . A knowledgeable and passionate guide is crucial. They are not just drivers. They are interpreters of the wilderness. Sharing their expertise on animal behavior, ecosystems and conservation efforts. A great guide will enhance your understanding and appreciation of the environment, making the experience, educational and insightful.they also play a vital role in ensuring safety during wildlife encounters. A truly great safari extends beyond the wildlife, allowing for meaningful interactions with local communities and a glimpse into their way of life. This can include visiting local villages, markets, engaging in cultural activities, fostering a deeper understanding of the regions, people and traditions. Our accommodations were luxurious and rustic at the same time. I would highly recommend this tour guide and I hope to repeat the trip in a year or two.
Jumbo!

The epitome of hospitality
5/5

When we arrived in Tanzania at 5 am Simon aka MJ greeted the three of us; my Daughter Jen , my wife Donna and Myself . Simon was the epitome of hospitality. He invited me to sit in the front of the Safari vehicle . From there our relationship grew with every slow mile he drove , road conditions are not a strength in Tanzania .

MJ now , became our most accessible source of insight .
We were never intimidated nor concerned about our questions directed to him . His responses were comprehensive, but not overly so . We learned an endless amount about the African wildlife and people from MJ .

Sadly the adventure required we part company as Kenya was our next stop . MJ left all of us with priceless memories . Our lives were enhanced thru our relationship .

MJ thank you very much!
