Be very careful with this operator
I was very disappointed with this operator. They demanded payment upfront but then changed the dates of my trip. They lied about there being a 'group' I would climb with (there was no group) and provided unprofessional guides who didn't provide a briefing nor walk with me. I ended up climbing Mt Kilimanjaro on my own. It was an overall traumatic experience. I emailed and phoned the operator MANY times and they denied a problem. This company is not to be trusted. When I got back to Arusha, I was notified by the Tourist Authority that this company is not endorsed due to their poor record.

Great 3-day Safari
I went on a 3-day tour with other 6 people I didn't know before the tour. I hoped the people on this tour would have the same intentions as me and I was right, we all got along really well. Our driver, Edward, was very good at spotting animals and at communicating with other drivers to find out where animals where at. He would also get very close to the animals and stay there for enough time for us to enjoy the scenery and take good photos. The second day, Edward recommended us to go to lake Naivasaha instead of doing a quick morning safari ride, and so we did. It was an enjoyable 1-hour boat ride that allowed us to see plenty of animals (from hippos to zebras to many birds) . The accommodation in tents was decent, and food was good and plenty.
Lennox was great at communicating with me before the trip, and his timely responses were great for planning the trip. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful Kenyan experience!
Peter’s did a wonderful job from start to finish to make our first trip to Africa as smooth and unforgettable as possible. Right away during my inquiry, Peter’s professional communication stood out among others. He answered all questions and concerns and made thoughtful suggestions. We thought the proposed itinerary was perfect, as everyday was better than the day before for the standpoint of what we saw and experienced. We met other tourists who went to Maisa Mara NP (the best of the best)in the beginning and it seemed nothing interested them to the same level in their safari afterwards. Our driver was John l, who I now wouldn’t want anyone else. We were always the first vehicle on the chase for any major animal sighting. I think he had a network of other drivers who all share info on where the animals can be spotted. We were always confused how he knew where certain animals were located. He was capable of answering questions we had about the local people to the cultures to the economy to animals. He also introduced us to great amount of non tourist areas. The only suggestion I could make is that the agency should inform the guests about the rough driving conditions. The travel time given on our itinerary were under estimated by 2-3 hrs at times. Even though it goes without speaking for Africa, a good portion of roads were more of a roller coaster ride that takes a toll on your body and energy. And should be taken into consideration for people in different conditions during their planning. Also, some advice on the souvenir markets would help. We were constantly approached by sellers throughout the trip and never knew the etiquette or fair price of negotiation. Either way, I have no complaint about Peter’s company. I highly recommend his service.

Mount Kilimanjaro trek with Jerry Tanzania Tours
My friend and I summited Kilimanjaro via eight-days Lemosho/Northern Circuit route with Jerry Tanzania Tours. I strongly recommend this route as it was quiet route that lets you get close to a remote, serene mountain beauty that I didn't expect to encounter climbing such a popular mountain.They provided our excellent guides, Mremi and Robert, an extraordinary cook who kept us well fed with delicious meals, and a great support staff of camp helpers and porters who worked so hard all week to keep us going and we trusted the entire team throughout our trip. We were well acclimatized by summit night and had no issues at all with mountain sickness. The climb was tough, but the descent, for me, was the really hard part. Sore knees and toes kept us from going all the way to Mweka camp for our final night, but after a restful night at Millennium camp, we were ready to hike out the next day. We highly recommend this company to anyone.

I did a safari on end of November and the experience was the best and adventurous.
From start to finish we received excellent service from East Africa Tours and safaris. Quick responses to email,happy to discuss options and comforting advice when the election loomed. Great driver who worked had to get us our leopard sightings and was happy to flex plans to our needs.will use these guys again.

Excellent experience with Mmilo tours!
I went to Pretoria with my family (3 children) and let Mmilo tours organise our tours for 4 days.
They made an excellent program and I really want to thank them for the high level of professionally, punctuality, honesty, friendship and knowledge. The whole programme was also cheaper as compared to other tour operator and, believe it to not, they sent me back some money as refund because my children could not attend one of the tours. Never happened before to find such a good people that you can trust and rely on.
Cars were always clean and comfortable and drivers very nice and friendly.
I do strongly recommend them.
Three years ago I was also in Pretoria and went to Pilanesberg with another tour operator. Not the same story!

Safari Explorers Experience
Safari in Tarangire-Lake Manyara-Serengeti-Ngorongoro. Safari was planned according to our needs and Safari Explorers proved to be flexible. Everything went according to the program and the added value was the guide always available. The car used for the safari was comfortable

Made the trip 11/10
Our guide made the trip even more amazing than it was. He knew all the local landmarks from the moment he collected us at our friend's place in Jo'Burg (flexibility) throughout the 5 day tour he matched us (irish) conversationally with all kinds of interesting topics and discussions on places we were travelling through or animals and birds we were viewing. He had as much of an interest in finding the sightings as we did and not just the big 5 which we did also see. He is more than qualified in his field and evidently not just providing the service as a way of making money, he genuinely cares for the plant life through to animal life around us and its survival. A pleasure to be in his company, many a lifetime trip a dream come true. 11/10. Always will be thankful.
