Amazingly beautiful safari in Ruaha
We booked a trip to Ruaha National Park with Ndaki and Maximilian as our guides in August, and the experience couldn't have been better!
Already the drive from Morogoro to Ruaha was beautiful as we passed through Mikumi National Park and already saw some animals there, and also the different landscapes when getting closer to Iringa are gorgeous. The car was very comfortable and spacious, has a mini-cooler with drinks WIFI (only when close to towns), but most importantly, Maximilian is a really good and safe driver, which isn't always easy to find in Tanzania ;-) The safari itself was of course even better, and thanks to Ndaki and Maximillian’s patience and great knowledge of the beautiful National Park we saw lots of animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, lots of birds, hippos, jackals, hyenas and even lions and the rare cheetahs from an incredible close distance - we were only about 5 meters away from the cheetahs and maybe 3 meters next to two female lions during their afternoon nap! Maximilian could tell us lots of stories about each of the animals and really knows the park and its flora and fauna like his own back yard. Additionally, both guides are really fun and open-minded people and so we also had a great time on a personal level. As Ndaki knows a lot about the whole country and its culture he also gave us really great tips and recommendations for the rest of our trip.
As our budget was quite low, they got us a really good deal at a hotel in the middle of the park. The rooms were basic but very clean, the food really tasty and when we woke up from the noise of hyenas hunting down a warthog and lions roaring nearby, we really knew we were on safari!
All in all, the three days in Ruaha with Safaris Partners were probably the best of our trip and we can highly recommend a tour with them! I would stay longer than three days though if you come from Morogoro as the drive takes up quite some time and we at least wished we could stay a day or two more.

The best experience of my life
They gave me a perfect tour, Simon is an excellent person, his kindness is unmatched. He took us to a very delicious dinner where we got to know the flavors of Kenya. Samuel our guide helped us to enjoy all the magic of Kenya, his sympathy and joy was very contagious. The very nice lodging, where we experience something different, enjoying the nature of Kenya. I am anxious to return and without hesitation will be with Kenya Safaris Holiday.

Everything was well organized, always someone near us, Mrs Mwajabu always reasy to help and kind!
The safari in Selous was very very exciting, thanks to Abdalla our driver and the guide we could see animals so near. Some problems with Internet, electricity and water in Hippo camp, but it was nice to wake up with hippo walking just out our room! We tryed to save some money and we decided to do all the transfers by car, it is possible, it takes times, lot of hours, but somehiw it was worth to see villages along the roads.

Nice and helpful staff
Have travelled to Meru national park (October 2017) and Amboseli national park (September 2017) with Alfahma Tours and Travels. The staff is very helpful and accomodating, and have had very nice safaris with lots of wildlife experiences .

The best experience!
We booked a short trip in July. These guys are the best! They packed in the best tour in those days and we saw some amazing sights and animals! We even had some last minute changes to our travel plans, and they accommodated us way above and beyond our expectations. You want a driver who is fun to hang with as you’re in the rig with them all day, and you will not be disappointed with this company! When I go back it will be with Tanzania roadside expeditions for sure. They have a number of locations and tours and I’m excited to see some more!

Fabulous trip to South Africa - unforgettable experience
It is the second time we have requested African Welcome Safari to plan another trip to South Africa. The first time was in 2016. The trip was so marvellous that we decided to go back this year. It has been another unforgettable experience. We did a horse back safari at Wait A Little, a big 5 safari and it was just amazing. Kathi from African Welcome Safaris has tailored made our trip taking into account all our requests and budget. She had also made some very valuable suggestions, one of them, was to spend a few days in Kosi forest. What a beautiful part of the world. I highly recommend this travel agent if you want to spend some memorable time in Africa.

Great safari. Saw everything we hopen for. Excellent value for money.
We had a wonderful safari with Karibu.
Robert was quick with answering our questions and made booking the whole thing easy. We went three days to Masai Mara and one day to Nakuru.
Our guide in Masai Mara (Edward) was very good, knew all the spots and managed to show us the big five all in one Day. Driving is sometimes a bit chaotic, but that is too be expected on rough roads. Never felt unsafe though.
Lake Nakuru was also beautiful. Very different compared to masai mara. We spotted the tree climbing Lions and a pack of White rhino's.
November was nice because we saw a lot of young animals such as a litter of lions, baby giraffe and baby elephants.
After the safari they made sure we got to our hotel which was quite hard to find but Dan stayed with us till we were safe under roof :)
5/5 would reccomend

Perfect Safari experience with tailormade service!
Before I booked with Mwema Africa Safaris, I checked the review and was overwhelmed by the positive feedback. First i doubt that all was real, but my experience even exceeded the reviews!
We are two women from Switzerland and to be honest, quite challenging for Simon. We had many special requests (booked only 2 days before we came, as we work for an airline and not sure regarding flights) Simon always found a solution for us and made us a great offer. Faruk our guide was highly professional and had a great knowledge about the game drives. Even when we decided during the safari trip, that we want to change the timetable and even extend our stay in Amboseli, Simon made it happen and changed 3 hotel bookings for us! I never experienced such a tailormade service! At the end, I even forgot a bag in one of the camps: Simon was able to have it found and organized the shipping for me!
Thanks Simon & Faruk for this great experience! I recommend you to all my african and outside NBO friends!
