It is Fun mind-blowing and always supersedes my expectations each and every trip.
Jumbo has a very reliable and consistent communication record. I can never miss a trip since it's always communicated through many social media platforms. The one on one service is spectacular and makes one feel at home and appreciated.
Whenever we go for any trips I always get more than I actually expected in terms of food

Treated us like family from start to finish
We started planning a 12 day trip including 5 days of Safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar in April for an August touchdown.
We planned the trip Directly with Mamasavana from the UK. Although the process involved a lot of back and forth via email, whatsapp and facebook, Alex really put us at ease and was always ready with any information we needed.
It was our first Safari and first time to Africa, so there were a lot of newbie queries but every question we asked was answered quickly and clearly.
We were met by a driver at Kilimanjaro airport, and completely taken care of until we left Zanzibar two weeks later. By this I mean that Alex and his team went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable and safe trough out our entire stay. We really felt like family. Alex was never more that a txt message or phone call away, and when we had a slight booking problem with one of the hotels, he dealt with it so fast I didn't have time to get worried about it.
We had one guide - Amani with us through all the parks in Tanzania. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife, environment and history. Amani was always ready to answer our questions and great company. Also he was a very good timekeeper. Nothing seemed rushed even though we asked for a few changes and extra stops. We wanted to visit a Maasai village and talk to the people. Even though it was not on our Itinerary, Amani made it happen without having to miss anything else. Also the man has eyes like a hawk. I have no idea how he managed to spot some of the camouflaged animals he did while driving a 4x4 over bumpy dirt tracks.
We had a fantastic time in Tanzania all thanks to Mamasavana.

Best and most beautiful trip ever
South Africa Rainbow tour was a trip to remember. Our gide Ruan is a great expert in all areas, good driver and a wonderful cook. Seen fantastic nature and heard many beautiful stories from him. The highlight was the big five, he did everything to spot it.
Moreover, he is careful with nature.So if you are considering a vacation to Africa, think of guide Ruan, who will give you a great holiday.

Asked Rob for about 8-12 landcruisers worth of standard and a few unusual safaris, around Kenya
Far and away the best value operator in the country. There are thousands of choices, many fake reviews and fluffing up tour descriptions out there, and EK's are by far the best. In general, they know the whole country cold and very carefully choose all of their guides and drivers and their cruisers are the top shape. You will save time and cash by just booking with them and forgetting days of google searches and bargaining. Cannot recommend them enough and have been using them for years now for Kenya and are resourceful with all of the common sense but also service sense somewhat lacking with other tour outfits.

Very thorough and knowledgeable!
We went on a private, two-day safari in Tarangire National Park. Our tour guide, Nelson, was very friendly and social. He seemed to know about everything! I was far from disappointed from what I saw in Tarangire, especially the elephants.
Remsi, one of the admin’s, was extremely helpful months prior to booking. He responded with every inquiry promptly and was very nice!

Great experience on the Kilimanjaro
My Friend and I came to tanzania to work in a hospital for one month. We did this clinical traineeship for our medicine studies and wanted to climb the Kilimanjaro first.
We didn't plan anything in Germany before so we needed someone, who could arrange everything. We had no climbing gear like sleeping bags or hiking sticks as well.
Philemon (the chef of aardvark eypeditions) was very professionell and managed to get us all the climbing gears we needed without paying anything extra. Furthermore, He could arrange the tour within 7 days. We booked it in Arusha but the crew picked us up in Moshi and it was no problem because we had Philemons Whatsapp number, so we could Talk to hin anytime.
The Crew (nine porter, one cook and two guides) was super nice and they took very good care of us. The guides were good informed, speaked good enough english and handled every Situation very professionell. The food was very tasty and sometimes even to much.
All in all was the Tour very nice, well planed and the team was great. The price was okay and Philemon was a great organizer.
I can totally recommend aardvark expeditions.

7 DAYS SAFARI: Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Lake Naivasha - Amboselli
I wanted to thank Big Time Safari and especially to Agnes for everything they’ve done for arranging my Safari :)
It was such an unique and unforgettable experience. Everything has, honestly, exceeded my expectations.
Lodges in Massai Mara and Naivasha-Kongoni have been my favorites!!!
Lake Nakuru could be better, I guess there were a lot of guests, and it’s quite ruin down.. but location is amazing ! and AA Amboseli was very good, as well (very friendly and helpful staff)
I also want to particularly thank Felix, my guide. He has done an amazing job and he took a very special care of me and the group. He has made my experience even more enjoyable.
I have heard many stories and bad experiences from other people who booked with other companies, and I must say that I am very happy that my experience has been such a success! :)
Thanks once again!!
Wish you all the best!
Hope to get in touch again for future travels
Warm Regards

Great Days at Moremi
We booked a 3 days (2 nights) camping safari with Shipoungo Safaris into Moremi GR. Cedric our guide was excellent and we had a great time on safari. Our camp was set at Xakanaxa camp site. The catering was also very good. We were quite impressed with the "bushfix" of the camping trailer which broke down on our way to camp. These people know what they are doing!
