Reliable tour operator for a safari trip
What we booked: 10-day shared safari trip with mid-range accommodation (we were two people)
Communication: Salimu was my main point of contact from the start, he provided detailed itinerary and details on all accomodations. We have not seen him after the first day, but he was accessible via Whatsapp and responded very quickly to any questions. Friendly, good English, straightforward communication, he even gifted us a cake for our honeymoon! On the downside, I had to chase him daily to get the time to start and other details for the next day, and he told us a wrong time of pick up for the first day (6.30am instead of 8.30am) meaning that we didn't get enough of much needed rest after a long flight. Other people were guides and drivers, mostly outsourced because it was a 'shared' trip, some better than the others but ok on average.
Service: A couple of times we started safari rather late in the morning (11am), giving us lower chance to see animals, and it was mainly because of bad organization around provisions of water, lunch food and other supplies. Also the driver/guide for the main parks was not much talkative so 'guiding' part of his job was definitely weak. Otherwise the service was as expected.
Tour itself: we happened to visit Serengeti right after a storm and experienced a fair amount of rain in general. Spotting animals in lush green and after rain is harder and we ended up not seeing lepards and a rhino only far away, which is unfortunate, but somewhat expected with the season. We saw a cheetah, plenty of lions, elephants and other animals which was nice. The large parks are touristy even during the wet season, so expect multiple jeeps lined up to observe one anamal - you get a feeling of a zoo, only that the cages are not there. We had the last few days of 'cultural' safari where we visited different tribes to observe their way of life - this was my favorite part! It felt way less touristy and rather authentic, we also had a couple of good guides for those days who were knowledgeable and with the bachground from those tribes, so we could learn a lot.
Enjoyed every minute
Salimu from safari tours africa arranged our safari. We worked a best route and accomodation for our stay and he made a good deal for us. The stay in serengeti was very enjoyable as you are staying literally with the wild life. The serengeti rest house was clean, large enough, comfatable bed, good dinner and breakfast.
We went to ngorongoro afterwards and amazing greenery, wild life, great experience. We stayed at marera lodge and this is a heaven on earth. Very nice grounds. Elegant large room and excellent service.
Last day was lake manyara, we came very close with elephant, giraffe, zebra, baboon, bushback …..
Our driver guide khalid was excellent, informative, supportive and friendly.
There was internet on the vehicle but reception was not good.
There were water, juice and tisue paper available at the vehicle.
The vehicle was in good condition, no problems.
The tour gave us masai cloth as a present
Overall very good experience

Professional knowledgeable tour company who made our safari experience AMAZING!!!!
We scheduled our safari experience 1 year in advance of our travel date. This company kept in touch with us and made sure we were aware of all the things we needed for a great safari so that we could pack accordingly. When we arrived at the airport we were greeted by our driver and the safari adventure began. Our tour was educational, informative and we were very fortunate as our driver is a member of the Masai tribe, and shared additional cultural information. We were able to witness the big 5. In one word - I would describe this vacation as Amazing - a lifetime experience - one you will remember like no other.
