Emanuel Made This Trip our Best Ever!
We are a retired couple in our early 60's who have traveled extensively. When booking a safari in Tanzania, the quality of your guide is critical to the experience. We could not have chosen better.
Emanuel has a passion for nature and the local culture that he shares with enthusiasm. His depth of knowledge about the wildlife is beyond impressive. We felt as if we were being guided on our 12 day adventure through this amazing habitat by one of the leading Tanzanian experts, and he happened to have a wonderful sense of humor as well.
Of all our trips in many parts of the world, this one was the most dependent on the quality of the guide. Fortunately for us, Emanuel made it our best trip ever.

We had an amazing time in Uganda, it was incredible!
Thanks to Gatatu and Reward our guide we lived an authentic African experience. They were very flexible and thoughtful. The places we went and the animals we saw were incredible. We felt like home the days we were there. We love Uganda, a country where you can find amazing experiences.

Comfortable, lovely experience. Reliable operator!
We had a fantastic time with Africa Tours Adventure. Extremely professional and responsive. We had booked a 4 night itinerary -- 2 nights in Bwindi with Gorilla Mist camp and 2 nights in Lake Bunyonyi with Birdnest.
- Bookings: Very smooth. We always got detailed and SUPER-QUICK responses from Nicholas. We had contacted a number of tour operators but Nicholas ability to provide us gorilla trekking passes for a particular day as well as his responsiveness, made us choose him for the trip. I was also very particular about the hotels we stay. In spite of a lot of to and fro, Nicholas was very patient to accommodate the best possible stay options for us. He was ready to give us what we wanted and was very honest about the prices for the same too. They provide you the band for your buck!
- Accommodation: Stay was very comfortable in both the places with UNBELIEVABLE views. Gorilla Mist camp and Bird-nest - both were second choices but were perfect for us. (Our first choices had some big group bookings in both the places exactly for our dates. Nicholas also offered to switch the dates to accommodate but we wanted to stick to itinerary and hence went with 2nd choices instead.)
- Tour & Guide: There are long drives in this trip which I was prepared for. Our guide, Rogers, was a very sweet person. He was polite, helpful, punctual, professional and always answered our questions. He also helped us change currency and gave honest view of the exchange rates. (He also helped in advance of the drink prices so that we knew how much to convert as the rest of the trip was paid for.)
Overall, a fantastic country with beautiful people. Would love to come back to Uganda to see more wildlife next time.

Awesome Experience
My wife and I spent 5 weeks in Tanzania in August 2018 and it was a last minute decision to go on a motorbike tour as we had a few days available at the end of our trip. So we booked a tour with Karanga Tours for my 55th birthday with both my wife and I to ride on separate bikes. Alpha made a huge effort to accommodate our needs by lowering the bike twice for Steph but as she wasn’t confident, she decided not to ride and instead take the 4 x 4. This was also a last minute decision, but it was no problem for Karanga to organise a 4 x 4 and guide on short notice. As we hadn’t planned on riding motorbikes, I’d brought none of my gear with me and they kitted me up with all the gear that I would use at home in Australia.
We left Arusha weaving our way through traffic to fuel up for the first day’s ride. We soon made our way from the bitumen onto undulating dirt tracks. My guide Alphi was very helpful and took me on the best tracks over the Monduli mountains and down into the rift valley. The bikes are old school XR 250’s, easy to ride but required running repairs along the way. This only added to the experience as it gave us some time to stop and chat and take in this part of remote Tanzania. We had time to deviate up mountain trails for views and get close up to wildlife. We caught up with Steph at Lake Natron as she travelled via Manyara National Park. While we both had different journeys, we were given a fantastic exposure to the best of Tanzania. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karanga Adventure Tours if you want a great motorbike riding experience.

Reviewed 1 week ago Everything was very well planned
Communication with Sarah was fantastic beginning many months before the trip. He and his wonderful staff have answered all my interrogations via e-mail and that was the main reason why my wife and I chose Dallago Tours . Pick-up at the hotel was on-time. The Safari tents at Elanagata Olerai Camp was much better than during my first safari in the Masai-mara a few years back. They were equipped with a hot water shower and a toilet. Beds were very comfortable. Visiting a Masai village is a must. I strongly recommend it. They were very welcoming. Many thanks to Joshua who brought us there. During the 3-day Safari, We saw the big 4 (excluding the Rhino which has become so rare to spot - haven't seen any during my first Safari either) and a lot of other animals, too numerous to mention here. The stop at Narok was a bit too long with our driver Joshua, over an hour and a 40 minutes, I am sure there is a possibility to accelarate things at Narok in order to spend more time on a Safari. Having mentioned that, we really appreciated our safari with our driver Joshua and we strongly recommend Dallago Tours.

Beautiful Short Holiday National Park Tour with RAK SAFARIS
I and a couple of friends had an amazing experience touring Uganda's Queen Elizabeth National Park beautifully arranged and coordinated by RAK Safaris. The service was splendid from b|b accomodation bookings to the tour explainations along the fully journey.
Thanks very much RAK Safaris.

Amazing safari
It all started with good communication with Geophrey. Emails were promptly replied and when we arrived, Jane was there to pick us up. She was very friendly and briefly explain about our safari. Our guide Simon was very knowledgeable and funny. We managed to see all the big 5. As for the camps all are wonderful especially in Masai Mara. Will definitely use their services again.

Roho exceeded our expectations with our Safari, from the smooth running to the quality of the guides
Ute was super helpful and incredibly professional and honest in helping us plan and book our safari to meet our travel schedule and budget.
Our guides were very good and punctual, we saw the most incredible animal sightings and were able to completely relax and enjoy the safari. I would highly recommend Roho and Ute and I look forward to booking our next African adventure with them.
