Strong communication and well organized
Fessal was great to communicate with and easy to arrange all of the details ahead of time. He and his team made us feel safe and were incredibly accommodating with everything we wanted which as a group of three young women traveling through Tanzania for the first time was especially important to us. I can highly recommend Fessal to anyone else - if coming to Mikumi just make sure you stay in the Bastian Lodge. The first night there was a mix up and we were in the lodge that was not very nice. The Bastian Lodge was amazing though! Thanks Fessal for the experience of a lifetime!

Professionalism and Excellency!
WAW, the best travel experience we ever had! Tanzania and Zanzibar, fairytale and paradise in one country, amazing nature and great people, feeling of freedom and safety, wonderful accommodations and delicious food! A Dream of each world traveler!
We made a 16 days trip in May 2024, organized by Paradise & Wilderness (Beach & Safari), Tanzania, perfectly planned in all details.
Unforgettable 5 days Safari to the mainland Tanzania - Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro krater. After each unique day, we have been warmly welcomed in very comfortable and cozy lodges, by people with a great hospitality and delicious food. The Land Cruiser was well maintained, clean and safe. During the Safari we have been accompanied by Mr. Abel Shana, very experienced and professional ranger. Because of his passion for and a great knowledge of nature, he was able to show us the Beaty of Tanzania. He took a great care and gave us the feeling of safety during the trip. Thank you, Abel, for this unforgettable experience.
Zanzibar, a Dream of the Paradise! Endless view to the turquoise Indian Ocean, beautiful white sands beaches, sea world, great people! The place to feel free and happy!
And then one of the best hotels we have ever been – Dream of Zanzibar, 5 stars hotel, provided with all comfort and luxury. Everything is perfectly designed, the ambiance is amazing, the hygiene and the service are high quality, the choice of music, food and cocktails is excellent.
Our special appreciation is going to Mrs. Melanie Holterman, Business Development Manager at Paradise & Wilderness (Beach & Safari). Thankful to her we could experience Tanzania and Zanzibar at the best possible way. Thank you, Melanie, for everything we did for us! We will never forget your kindness and professionalism.

Kind, attentive, reliable, easy communication.
We did a 2 nights/3 days Safari tour in Mikumi park. It was such an amazing experience! We were lucky to see the Tanzanian "Big 5" riding through the park, making longer stops wherever we wished to. We also had the chance to visit a Maasai village the first afternoon, learning about traditions and rituals and how life looks like for members of the community in today's time and society.
Fessal did a great organisation and, together with his colleagues, made us feel very welcomed, safe and shared interesting insights and information. The car ride to Mikumi from Daressalaam was very comfortable, accommodation at Bastian lodge just outside the national park was great, too.
Definitely a tour guide to recommend. Asante sana!

Budget friendly and impeccable service oriented approach. Highly recommended!
Cynthia and Lennox were extremely helpful in sharing information as well helping us through the entire booking procedure and even after booking. Right from the onset we were really confident of booking our travel arrangements with Axis. We had reached a day prior to the start date of the 7 days trip, Lennox recommended a good hotel option to stay closeby. They arranged airport pickup at a minimal cost. Next day morning they picked us up from the hotel to their office for getting done with the formalities.
Luckily we had a great group of travellers who joined us in the trip. Our hotels were really awesome. Thanks to Axis for recommending the options and facilitating the bookings on our behalf. We look forward to coming back again and book through Axis once more! Asante!
Our trip guide Moses was really awesome. Right from day one he was always very accommodating and always had a smiling face! He made sure that we're able to spot Lions in both of our stay in Mara and Amboseli. Icing on the cake was when we spotted a pride of 22 including cubs on the final day. He's very informative and knows each and every animal, birds that we spotted.

The Safari Exceeded All Expectations! What an incredible experience 10/10
We booked a 5 day Safari with Jastro - including Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru and Lake Naivasha. From our original request to finalizing the booking the Jastro team was easy to work with and they were quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. They were very attentive and great to work with!
Our guide Nickson was incredibly knowledgeable and made our 5 day journey around Kenya very enjoyable. We got to see so many animals, including: Giraffe, Zebra, Lions, Lion Cubs, Buffalo, Wildebeest, Baboons, Hippos, Crocodiles, Elephants, Jekylls, Dung Beetles, Gazelles, Antelopes, Mongoose, Impala, Hyena, Topi, Warthogs, Waterbuck, Secretary Bird, and even got lucky to witness Black Rhinos mating! All of our game drives were fruitful.
All of the lodges we stayed in were very nice and well appointed. The food was delicious and service top notch!
We will definitely be coming back and will be using Jastro and Nickson for our future trips to Kenya. We have already recommended them to our friends and family.

It's a unique, fantastic, memorable and pleasant journey!
I planned my graduation trip in Tanzania with Imani Excursions, and it is indeed a valuable and memorable journey! We are a team of 7 and we traveled with 2 safari vehicles and 2 guides, we contacted almost 10 companies and Imani Excursions provide a competitive price and reply very quick, the whole discussion was smooth and they always satisfy our requirements. During the journey, we had a really good time with Imani and Baraka, they are knowledgeable about animals and are very kind people. After this trip, I recommend them to my other Chinese friends. If you want to safari in Tanzania, there is absolute no concern choosing them, they are kind, honest, and reliable people, and we have a really good impression towards Tanzania through them!

Surpassing the highest expectations!
Thanks to Remarkable Tears Safari for making our 6-day safari trip an absolutely marvelous one. Smooth communications and bespoke travel planning are guaranteed from the very beginning.
We enjoyed greatly the rich variety of landscapes and wildlife across the Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Seeing a large number of wild animals closely such as elephants, giraffes, lions, and cheetahs has been a daily pleasure. Beyond that, thanks to our guide Gelasius who has over a decade of experience and abundant knowledge, we were able to observe several precious scenes when animals were in migration and competition with each other. Highlights included lions hunting, resting on trees, and even mating. Meanwhile, we were lucky to have Emanuel photograph some of the most stunning scenes, capturing moments that will last a lifetime!
My husband and I are avid travelers, but this experience will remain a most special one, and we will treasure those beautiful memories forever.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in authentic and enriching experiences in one of the most spectacular parts of the world.

Wonderful experience with the professional team!
Tour to Kilimanjaro with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris was one of the best experience I’ve ever done. I contacted to the company at very last minute, but they kindly accepted me and communication with them was super smooth.
My guide was an expert with more than 15 years experience at Kilimanjaro. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always cared me both physically and mentally. I reached the top thanks for him and his team. The view, especially sunrise from the roof of Africa was unforgettable!!
I highly recommend to travel with them when you visit the mountain!
