Everything was very professional and accurate
5/5

We took a short safari to Mikumi on our way to Zanzibar. Nyasi Adventure offered the best price out of 11 agencies I've contacted and were among the first to answer my price request mail.

We've booked without any deposit. Nyasi's manager and driver met us at the airport in the afternoon upon arrival, I've paid the settled amount and got an official receipt. The car was ok (the very vehicle we went to the safari). Not new, but comfortable enough (no air conditioning).

We got to Mikumi in the evening (our driver, Gaston, was great at getting us to Tan Swiss Lodge where we stayed on time, so we could get some sleep after a long flight).

In the morning we went out to the safari. There were some difficulties at the entrance (some troubles with our driver paying with a card of another company on his previous visit), so we've lost about an hour.

It was all compensated bu a most wonderful safari! We've even saw a lioness (how our driver noticed her under a bush - it's still a mystery, we've managed to see her only after he drove the car on a few-meter distance!), and a great pack of elephants (with babies), crossing our road and posing for us.

We were back at the Dar as Salam airport right in time for our flight to Zanzibar.

To sum up: that was our first trip to Africa, and I've heard that local people are not the most accurate in terms of timing (and our further experience confirmed that). But with Nyasi Adventure everything was different. They've delivered everything they'd promised, everything we'd agreed upon, for a fair price, at the right time. There were a few drawbacks (at the park entrance), but we were compensated for that with a great safari experience.

And, a big "thank you" goes to Gaston, our driver and guide. He knows his job really well, both as a driver and a guide.

When we come back to Tanzania, I hope to go with Nyasi Adventure for a longer safari. Thank you!

Amazing experience with very caring and professional team
5/5

Discovering northern Tanzania national parks was long time dream. All went perfect : organization before we arrived, during our trip regarding quality of logistics, accommodation, transportation and food as well as quality of our guides. All was made for us to feel like home while preserving the specificity of our experience in a wonderful environment. I did expect a lot from this trip .. thank you for making it even better than imagined ! I definetely recommend this company.

Choose "Home to Africa"!
5/5

Edward, Elias, and Paul were exceptionally helpful, both before and during the tour. We did a three-day safari, and our driver, Paul, was knowledgeable about the wildlife and did a good job of preparing us with information before each stage of the tour. With over a decade of leading tours, Paul's experience showed. Edward was responsive and helpful in setting up the tour, answering emails promptly and organizing a trip to a school in Jinja to provide humanitarian service. Elias was present before and after the tour, to make sure our questions were answered to our satisfaction.

Some tour companies make you feel like they only want your money. Home to Africa Tours and Travel make you feel like they want you to come back.

Fabulous organization, communication and service!
5/5

Home to Africa Tours and Travel is a first class safari and travel tour operation company! From the moment I sent my first email inquiring about their services to the last drop off to Entebbe International Airport, everything they did exceeded my expectations. The organization and communication were always efficient and top notch; including answering my questions in a timely manner, providing sufficient details to the days' itineraries and meeting safari schedules. Our guide, Paul, was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. The accommodations, food and transportation were also fantastic! The best thing about Home to Africa Tours and Travel company is that it gives back to the community of Uganda by giving a portion of its safari fees to help a school in Buwenge, Jinge. It is not just a company providing great tours of Uganda, it is a company looking out for the future of Ugandan children. (One of the favourite parts of our holiday was spending a day with the school's administrators and children, in addition to bringing donated school supplies for them.) Thank you Home to Africa Tours and Travel for making our Ugandan memories so special!

Stunning safari
5/5

Having returned to "real life" yesterday I wanted to put pen to paper as fast as I could.
Together with my husband we have just spent 4 nights, 5 days and 8 game drives at Djuma, Sabi Sands, on a Big Cat Safari with the terrific At Close Quarters group. Villiers, Trevor, Josh and the team took exceptional care to make certain we had the best possible experience during our stay. We've spent many years visiting parks in several African countries and I can sincerely say this was one of those that will catapult to near the top of our list. The extent to which the guides went to ensure we got our big Cat shots was phenomenal. The patience with us (amateur photographers) was endless and what we learned from our pro fellow guests too just added to this experience. Thank you Villiers for your brilliantly informative Lightroom workshops.
Djuma Lodge with its setting, comfort and ambience gave us a glorious base to relax, enjoy Johan's cuisine and reminisce. Thank you all, we will most certainly be joining you again

Had a great time and great experience!
5/5

I my first time to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and I was provided with a perfect team and guide ( Bariiki), by Jackson. Everything was very organized - we did the Marangu route for 5 days. It wasn't the first mountain I've climbed, but it was the first mountain I've climbed with a guide, and it was a great experience - I enjoyed it very much. It was such a good experience that half a year later I came back with my family and we hired Jackson again to climb mt. Meru. Luckily we got Bariki as our guide again and it was an amazing trip. I am very satisfied with this agency and highly recommend it to others.

About: Mazingira
Mazingira tours makes an already unforgettable experience affordable, comfortable, and tailored
5/5

Jacob was an absolute pleasure to deal with from the very beginning. He tailored the tour to match our priorities, made objective and beneficial suggestions to help us improve our plans, and made sure we were comfortable and well informed throughout the whole experience.
Jacob personally gave us a group safari of the parks and later helped arranged a separate, and individual, climb of Kilimanjaro.
I do not have enough words of praise, and deep appreciation, for Jacob and Mazingira tours for providing unforgettable memories regarding my Africa experience. When I return, I will not hesitate in calling him again and would highly encourage others to do the same.
