Very well organized and highly qualified staff
We were on a 5-day Safari with Seven Wonders in September 2018 visiting Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The communication beforehand was very easy, they responded quickly and put together an offer according to our wishes. On arrival in Tanzania, the Safari took place as planned and went beyond our expectations. Our guide was fun to be with and willingly shared his knowledge about the wildlife and was a great help spotting animals during game drives. The chef took into account our dietary wishes (one vegetarian) and cooked very well for us in the evenings. Overall a great experience and we can highly recommend Seven Wonders.

Incredible experience with fun, knowledgable Guide
Odyssey Safaris was super great to work with. They helped us set up our entire experience seamlessly (more or less, of course!) and even assisted us above and beyond our purchased tour so we could make personalized adjustments to enjoy our time. Erastus, our guide, was courteous, super knowledgeable and always looking to give us the best experience possible. I am so lucky that we got to enjoy this!

Ngutu Adventures provided wonderful service.
We just completed a 14 day safari in Tanzania, all organized and facilitated by Ngutu Adventures. The communications with the company were spot on and quite timely, I never had to wait long for a reply, even with our 7 hour time difference. The service we received was very personalized and accommodated our requests very well. We traveled quite a bit in country on safari and all the arrangements were made for us, including in country flights and airport transfers, guides, meals, hot air balloon ride, river safari, and hotel/camp accommodations.
The safari itself was wonderful, our private guides were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the plant life. They spoke English well and went our of their way to show us what we came for - lots of wildlife. The vehicles we traveled in had charging stations and a refrigerator with cold drinks (and occasional wifi). What a great touch!
I would highly recommend Ngutu Adventures and Safaris for your Tanzanian safari.

3 Days Murchison's Falls - Great Experience with the Wamba Team
The Wamba Team (William and Immanuel) took good care of us during the 3 days Safari to Murchison's Falls in Uganda. The communication prior to the trip was great and prompt. Immanuel followed up by email and call and explained everything in detail to us already prior to the booking.
The car was in time at the hotel and we got another briefing about the safari and different points of interest.
After the briefing, we had the first part of the drive towards the Park, after a lunch break on the way we arrived at the National Park and had an impressive drive through the different landscapes up to the top of the breathtaking falls.
William, our guide, was always around and helping with pictures, briefing, adjusting the car roof so that we can have our pictures.
Later we went through the park to the Pakumba Lodge, which was also beyond our expectation in a great location and with good room facilities.
During the safaris into the park, William showed his experience in tracking the animals and we were lucky always, seeing a lot of different game.
We were completely satisfied with the service and guidance through the team and will book again with them for our next safari in Uganda.

Excellent staff, vehicles, accommodations and food made this vacation an experience of a lifetime
We had booked a safari with a competitor of Odyssey Safaris and to our dismay it was cancelled a week before we were to leave. We contacted Odyssey and were able on short notice to make arrangements to join one of their tours. Best move we could have made. In addition to the tour we wanted to spend a few days in London on our way back to Canada. No problem, arrangements were made by Odyssey staff and the flights, including stopovers, went as planned. The tour itself was excellent: the guide was very knowledgeable and very open to the wishes of the group, accommodations and food were excellent and the vehicle was very clean and trouble-free. We also signed on for an excursion offered by Odyssey Safaris involving an early morning hot air balloon ride and champagne breakfast - wow, was that fun! I travel a lot and this is the first trip review I have ever completed. I highly recommend Odyssey Safaris to my friends, and to anyone else who would listen.

Great deal in terms of price vs. quality
The overall experience was very good! We did the Safari and the Panoramic View.
Things to point out as positive:
- Knowledgeable guides (especially in the safari)
- Generally good communication
- Overall great service (they came to pick us up)
Things to point out as not so good:
- One day we had miscommunication
- First day there was quite a big delay in terms of entering the park that was weird because many people who arrived after us entered before us and we had to wait for quite a long time but it was not so bad
I want to leave clear that we would give a 4.5 stars but the system does not allow it. I would be great if Shinzelle Safaris could provide a small pdf with the planning of the day with some information and recommendations that one could print out.
Anyways, would repeat for sure! Highly recommended

Absolutely Amazing
My wife and I received everything as promised. Communication was flawless, pick up at airport was quick and easy. The tented accommodation was fantastic as was the food. The driver was well spoken and very knowledgable, always had a smile and quick to help if needed. Seeing the animals up close was amazing, even saw two lion cubs playing with their mother, which no other group saw as our driver knew what to look for. Would highly recommended this company and their tours.

I would choose a trip to Tanzania with Viewpoint Adventures again and again!!!
I have traveled many places, but Tanzania has been by far my favorite and most meaningful trip due to Viewpoint Adventures and their amazing staff. If you are on the fence about visiting Tanzania because it might be dangerous or out of your comfort zone..don’t be! I have never felt so safe or welcome before. Idi and his team provide a five-star experience in every way imaginable. They made us feel at home in Tanzania through incredible hospitality and communication, thorough education about the culture and language, as well as authentic experiences that left lasting memories. The accommodations, transportation, and food were exceptional in every part of the trip. Idi’s charisma and knowledge about his beloved country are par to none. Tanzania has a piece of my heart, and I would recommend Viewpoint Adventures a thousand times!
