Wonderful Experience; Very Professional; Outstanding Company
We did a seven day / six night safari organized by Across the Wild. From the very first communication, Fina was wonderful to work with. She was attentive, responsive, and charming, working with us to customize our trip. As this was not our first safari, we made specific requests, each of which was addressed. Our guide, Steve, was superb! We were able to accomplish safari experiences that we had not previously had, primarily due the experience and patience of our guide. Everything during the safari was well-coordinated. We would work with Across the Wild again and will recommend them to others without any hesitation!

An excellent safari experience put on by the highly skilled and courteous Natureways team.
Natureways proved to be excellent in all aspects of nature safari presentation and delivery. From initial booking right through to completion of the safari, every step was clearly explained and also executed. Both our nature guides (Zera and Mark) were extremely well informed and knew the environment well. They were well supported by an ever helpful Kenny. All the meals provided were plentiful and tasteful. Thanks to the entire Natureways team for a great safari.

By far Lion King Adventures was the easiest, fastest, and most professional company to book with.
My wife and I decided to go on a safari for our honeymoon. It was our first big trip together so we wanted it to be perfect. We reached out to multiple safari companies but felt that Lion King Adventures was the only company that gave us everything we needed to plan our perfect trip. Everyone we worked with was very friendly, professional, and they communicated very fast given the time zone differences. We went on a private safari trip that completely matched the itinerary they gave us, but also allowed us to personalize it as well. Our safari guide and driver Gilbert, was extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly and willing to tailor each day specifically to what animals we wanted to try and see. We were able to see the Big 5 and so much more. I do not think we would have enjoyed our safari nearly as much as we did had we booked with another company. Lion King Adventures gave us a trip that made our dreams come true.

Excellent trip
Just came back from a 14 day safari with friends to Tanzania, (Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Zanzibar) Botswana and a Victoria falls.
Our trip was arranged by Robin at Safari Ventures. Robin did a magnificent job for us. She planned the tour around
just what we wanted to see. Every detail was taken care of from the moment we arrived in Africa right to our departure.
All the accommodations were top notch and all the guides and drivers were very knowledgeable.
It was a trip of a lifetime and we have many fantastic memories.
Thank You Robin, Nirubhai and all at Safari Ventures.

He can arrange whatever you want.
Friendly and easygoing, he will be your first new friend in Tanzania.

The best experience of our lives thanks to the amazing Ilmaasai company
The complete experience was perfect. The price they gave us included everything they had promised us, there were no subsequent surprises and the entire safari was perfectly organized and with wonderful attention.
Catherine, the customer contact person, helped us throughout the hiring process and gave us many facilities for payment and for choosing different hotel options and plans. In addition, she came to welcome us to the airport with the dirver and she was taking care of us at all times and helped us to manage with the airline the shipment of our bags that arrived a day later when we were already in the middle of the safari.
Benny, our guide, is an excellent professional and the best driver we have ever seen. His knowledge about the parks and all the species of animals made the safari a spectacular experience. He had a lot of patience with all our requests when sighting animals during the safari and was friendly and affectionate at all times.
The hotels were even better than we expected and the value for money was more than reasonable.
They are totally recommended!

Outstanding service at a level that exceeds expectations.
We are experienced travelers, also experienced throughout Africa. The owner, Paul, was our main POC, and did an exceptional job of understanding our intentions and making every single arrangement we expected. All service operators, in particular, the Safari guide, were top notch. Africa is not a place to travel without precautions and I would be happy to recommend Tanzaniza roadside Expeditions without hesitation for both inexperienced and experienced travelers. Price was not our primary concern - but of note their pricing was significantly LOWER than going direct. We don't do reviews - but these guys warrant it and this is our honest feedback. Can't go wrong using this company, from our 2 week experience.

Straightforward planning and booking experience, excellent driver/guide
The planning and booking process was straightforward. The sales representative Noah from Wildebeest Safaris answered every single one of my questions in a timely fashion. What can be improved, perhaps, is attaching a few photos of or links to camps/hotels/vehicle at this stage of email communication.
When we arrived at the Nairobi airport it was already getting dark. So it took us a couple of sweeping around to spot our driver with a hand-written sign of our names, among a few dozen other drivers standing outside the airport. In the meantime I also tried to contact the tour operator but both cellphone numbers were unanswered. In addition, it took us some time to figure out the driver who picked us up were not the same driver/guide for the rest of safari trip. In retrospect, all of above can be improved with better email communication beforehand, in order to minimize customer apprehension. But things got sorted out quickly so it did not negatively affect our airport pick-up experience too much. The hotel at Nairobi is decent and safe, which is important as the first stop of our ten-day safari tour.
Our driver/guide Dennis is great. He is energetic, polite, knowledgeable about wild animals, local culture, road condition, and also attentive to our needs during the entire safari trip. His wife was due to deliver a baby girl two days before the end of our safari trip. So he had to make and/or receive phone calls during the trip. But this was totally understandable and it never really got in the way of our safari experience. During game drives Dennis was focused. We were able to get many well-angled shots including leopard eating its game behind thick tree branches, five cheetah brothers lounging around together, lions mating, rhinos fighting, etc. etc. There were a couple of minor vehicle issues (including a broken passenger side window at the start of our trip) but they all got taken care of within a couple of days. Overall it was a reliable vehicle that served us and the driver well for the entire trip.
The camps/hotels selected during the safari are satisfying in general. Some are better managed than others, but more so on people side rather than location/hardware side.
