Amazing safari
We had an amazing 5 day, 4 night safari with Lomo Tanzania Safari from pickup from the airport to the end of the safari. Our guide was courteous and funny. He asked what we wanted to see and made sure that we saw the Big Five. The accommodations and food were great - it was so good to have a hot meal, instead of cold sandwiches. I highly recommended them for a safari and will use them again.

A Trip Of A Lifetime
We found Chris and Safari Partners online while researching new destinations and boy what luck!! Chris was very well informed and provided choices for us in terms of destinations in Africa for first timers. I wanted to plan a great vacation for my husband for a milestone birthday, I saw so many great reviews and thought to take a chance with this company. I spoke to Chris a few times, gave him my list of preferences and a few ideas of destinations and of course a price cap. He put together an amazing itinerary for us, we wanted to see Victoria Falls so we had two fantastic nights in Zimbabwe at a beautiful lodge, took a river cruise and went to a boma. Loved Victoria Falls! We then headed to Cape Town to a fantastic home away from home Blackheath lodge, our private guide took us to every sight imaginable and kept wowing us with the knowledge and destinations. We then headed to wine country with our private guide, beautiful Stellenbosch and amazing food and wine and 5 star accommodations! Next was the "piece de resistance" with four extraordinary nights in Kruger National Park...wow, wow,wow...we loved the Simbavati River Lodge and staff. Our guides were amazing, food was great and the "visitors and residents" were exceptional!! We saw the big five, and everything else imaginable. Chris well done, everything went perfectly well, no hiccups, delays, additional costs, or stress!!! Everything was handled, we simply had to relax and enjoy our vacation. This company will be our "go to" for our next African adventure for sure....thank you Chris for ensuring my husband's birthday gift was perfect.

Terrible experience!
1. I said we are a group of six. I found out that this company booked us 2 triple rooms intead of 3 double rooms. Simon, the boss of this company, first said that he had told me in email, which was not true. Then he said this is reasonable because I hadn't made it clear that I need 3 double rooms. Finally he said he need 136$ per person, which is 816 $ in total, to change it to double rooms for the rest 2 nights.
2. The first guide is not fluent in English and poor in experience. He took us to Masai Mara at 4.30 p.m. (it should be 3 p.m.) He first decided to take us to the lodge, then changed the direction and took us directly to the NR, so we again wasted a lot of time. He borrowed Shilings from us to buy tickets because he only had US dollar. He took us back to the hotel at 8.10 p.m. when we were super hungry.

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime!
My first Tanzania trip was with Maasai Wanderings 11 years ago. Donna and Nas were so amazing then, when I finally decided to tackle Mt. Kilimanjaro, there was no doubt in my mind I would be working with them again. What initially would have been a mere 8-day trip turned into 3 weeks of awe-inspiring experience.
Anna, who arranged our itinerary was extremely responsive and after hearing of our interests, created the perfect itinerary.
My first leg of the trip was to hike Mt Kilimanjaro. As a solo female hiker, my chief guide, Holson, and his team of porters made me feel safe during the hike and at camp. They were courteous, funny and very respectful. Second week, I met a friend who joined me in Arusha to begin our amazing 8-day tour that included Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw so many animals including all of the 'Big 5'. Some of my favorite viewings were baby elephants playing in the water and Wildebeest migration. Our guide and driver, Godwin, was so knowledgeable about all the animals, their behavior and overall history of the parks, we were fortunate to get some of the best education of the wild life.
After an incredible experience of climbing Mt. Kili and enjoying the animals, we flew off to Zanzibar for a 4-day relaxation on the beach.
These places were incredible on their own, however, Anna, Donna, Holson, Godwin and the rest of the team definitely enhanced the experience with their knowledge and great customer service. I would highly recommend them and look forward to going back for the third time!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Jonas Nimmersjö
This is the national park of the national parks. If there is one place every one heard of in Africa it is Serengeti. And that is not without reason. You can see all the big five here. Although I have not seen a rhino in Serengeti and recommend a tour to Ngorongoro to see that one. If you go to Serengeti be sure to spend som time here, the light for photos are best in the morning and in the evening. And the park is large so it takes time to see it all. Here you can find lodges, tented camps and you can bring your own tent if you dare. The only drawback from my rating was the Bush vibe ... the reason for that ... is you and me. If you go here, as in Ngorongoro, you will see a lot of Toyota Landcruisers packed with people.
I have been visiting Serengeti more than five times from 1991 - 2017.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Jonas Nimmersjö
If you need a safe card this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed and If you pair it with Serengeti the chances of a Big Five score i 99%. Here you will see a rhino, 99% chance. Then the scenery is amazing. The only downside is the price, and all the other tourists ... you will not be alone when you see the rhino or the lions.
I have been down in the crater more than eight times from 1991-2017.
