Unique experience and a must do!
My husband and I decided to go on our honeymoon to the 6 days Safari in Tanzania. We had an awesome experience in Tanzania thanks to Lazaros (the guide) and David/Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We travel in the second half of August and it was the dry season (they only have 2 seasons - dry and rain). Unfortunately, we missed the migration to Kenya (couple of weeks before).
We chose to do safari in the 4 parks (Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area). Each one of them have different characteristics and, in our opinion, it’s worth to do the 4 of them. Even though it was the dry season and after the migration to Kenya, we succeeded to see many many wild animals. And as they say it’s the “game driver”, because of Lazaros eagle eye and his familiarity with the wild life, we saw several wild animals very close to the car. There was a day when a leopard was surrounded by several cars and we could barely see it. Then, he saw that the leopard started to move and he moved the car and asked us to be patient. Boom! We had the best view of the leopard walking away from all those cars.
A few words about the safari guide: if you can, ask for Lazaros. We didn’t meet other guides, but we could see the difference between him and other guides when we sat together to have the lunch box. There are the professionals and the workers. And Lazaros is definitely a professional on his duty! Wise man, knows everything about the animals, their life, the differences in species, the difference in the wild life all year long, he could recognize wild animals far away, including different birds. And also he gave us some words about marriage life, since we are in the beginning of our journey…
Also talking to other people during the lunch box time, we realized that our tented camp in Serengeti was a very good one, so we should state a few words about it. The name is Serengeti Mawe Luxury Camp and we had an amazing room with toilet and shower with running hot water (not only I read, but other mentioned that they had a bucket on their heads with limited amount of water and in limited hours). One night, we had an amazing dinner under the stars, only with candles lights. Remarkable experience!
Last tip: bring your own binocular (there are several cheap ones selling in Aliexpress. We also bought Magnification Zoom Optical Monocular for the mobile phone and it was amazing). Although they say they have available in the car, they have only one. So if anything happens during the 6 days, you’ll be out of options…
As every trip, there were a couple of issues like a mismatch when they were supposed to pick us up in the airport (solved in 10 minutes), the Charity Hotel (issues regarding malfunction in some facilities and long wait for the dinner in an empty restaurant) that was also quickly solved by David (but don’t expect much from the hotels in Arusha, we stayed in the The Jevas Hotel and in the end it was worse than Charity).
Big thanks to David and Lazaros! You made this trip be very unique for both of us!

A great and unforgetable journey
we were 10 days on the way with sunset safari.
Amboseli - Masai Mara with Haron and Paul
Serengeti - Ngorongoro -Tarangire with Guideon
It was a consistently well organized trip with great lodges and locations.
Our drivers (especially Guideon) proved a very great knowledge of the
plants and animal of their country during the game drives.
An unforgettable trip .
The only negativ one is the tax in Tansania.
Each person, who stay overnight in a national park has to pay between
40 and 60 dollar per night.

Amazing experience
I traveled to Kruger with my wife for a 5 days safari and since the beginning was such amazing experience.
The attention to my questions and request were promptly replied by Rochelle and staff. I sent a lot of e-mails and they replied carefully all the time.
Since the transfer from Jburg to the park was really easy. Friendly staff.
The accommodations were exactly what we are looking for. Tent camping, simple but really confortable and safe.
The guides really know about the park and wildlife gaming. It's all about luck, but they were able to spot all the animals... zebras, elephants, the big five, plus cheetahs, birds, small animals (i.e: chameleon)

Amazing Kenya with Amazing ACTT
I have been with my group of family and friends to Masaimara, Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru with Africa celebrity tours and travels this September 2017. And it was an experience of a lifetime further accentuated by ACTT. Not only were the arrangements customized and simply perfect but Mr.Muli and Joseph from ACTT accompanied our group throughout to address any and every queries and needs (be it water bottles or name of a new bird we are watching or spotting a pair of cheetah targeting a wildebeest for hunt).
I strongly recommend ACTT.

We really can recomment them.

Do not use this company!
The jeep broke down and, even once 'fixed' (after we were forced to wait four hours!), the vehicle needed regular pitstops on the way back to our hotel for OIL(?!) top-ups in the steering fluid! Even our driver said the jeep was not fit for purpose. We were told that lunch and drinking water would be provided but they weren't- we had to pay for our own meal and that of our driver. We barely saw any animals at Saadani National Park. Our driver told us Alberto should have advised us of this at time of booking but he did not; he was only interested in taking our money. It's no wonder he has a string of failed businesses behind him. I have emailed him several times to resolve the problem but he has since ignored me and blocked me from his Facebook business page so I am unable to review and share my experience. Looking at the dates and the positive nature of the existing reviews on his Facebook page, I suspect he asked his friends to review him, as apposed to genuine customers. He is a con man! Avoid this company!

Travelling through Africa
I met Barack whilst touring through the amazing countries of Africa. I don't know what we would have done without him particularly at the border crossings. He made it look so effortless and handled it all with ease. He was so friendly and polite and always had a smile on his face. It was obvious he loves his job and seeing tourists discover his beautiful homeland. He took us to markets and restaurants and always looked after us. Thank you Barack, I hope to see you again soon!
