Great safari company for a great country
When we started to plan our trip to Tanzania we compared lots of safari companies trying to find out the company which offers the best safari. At least we decided to book our trip with Safari Multiways, because of the good reviews and also the good price for the nationalparks we wanted to see.
We have not regretted the decision.
We payed 200 Dollar in advance and the rest at the office the day before the beginning of the safari.
At the first day Moses, our guide, came to our hotel in Arusha and picked us up for the first Safari in the Arusha National Park.
We felt welcome for the first moment and already on the way to the Arusha national park we started to get to know Tanzania in a way that would be never possible if you travelled on your own.
Moses, our guide, did not leave any opportunity to bring his home country closer to us , explaning us the things we saw on the way, like the massai and their culture. He never got tired to answer our questions, even though we had a a lot.
Our safari tour started with the Arusha National Park from where we headed to the Fanaka Safari Campsite. From there we did our safaris to the Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara. Afterwards we drove to the Ngorongoro Crater where we slept at the Simba campsite and headed then to the Sergenti and the north Sergenti. At least we drove back to Arusha with a stop at the Natron lake.
Moses always tried his best to spot the animals for us and was very successful.
We saw more animals than we had expected and had great experiences, for example more than fifteen elephants, also small ones, bathing in a water hole in the Tarangire national park, a rhino in the crater and groups of lions at the serengeti.
Moses always had the knowledge about the animals and tried his best to make us able to know the names of all the animals.
We had a private tour which was very nice cause we were allowed to let Moses stop the car where we want and as long as we want.
Moses always spooked to us in the evening about the timetable for tomorrow and we were allowed to discuss with him about the timetable.
The other part of our guide team was Doggo, our cook. He was really great. Before our trip we never thought that it would be possible to cook as many and as different food with these limited facilities. Every day Doggo surprised us with delicious food we could never eat up cause he always cooked that much that it would be enough for a whole soccer team.

Fantastic 5-day-safari in Tanzania
This tour is perfect to enjoy the amazing wildlife of Tanzania's famous north.
Tarangire and Lake Manyara are really cool and we were lucky enough to spot a lot of big cats - like lions and cheetahs.
Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater are truly spectacular and a dream for every wildlife lover. The landscape is outstanding. The wide plains of the Serengeti are really majestic and to spot wildlife in the crater of a volcano must be unique on this planet.
The last day of our trip we completed the Big 5 since we spotted a rhino in the Ngorongoro crater.
All lodges were great, but glamping in the Serengeti was a once-in-a-lifetime-experience. The food was really nice - breakfast and dinner in the lodges and a packed lunch at the picknick sites in the national parks.
Our guide Adam was very nice and attentive. He answered to any question, we asked him and taught us a lot about the animals, plants and landscape of Tanzania.
This tour is really suitable for everyone, who loves game driving.
The transfers from one park to the next are really manageable and the roads are mainly in good condition.
We booked this tour online via www.shemejisafari.com and this was a good experience. They are really professional and every details was perfectly organized.
We recommend them without restrictions.

Great tour, excellent guide
We were booked on the 4 day Kruger Park and Panorama Route and had a really great time from start to finish. Our guide Liese was fantastic, we learned a lot about both the nature and animals as well as about South Africa in general. Thanks again, Liese, for the amazing trip!

Good Company
I am a photographer, and Davis and our guide, Alex, made certain we saw every animal possible. I have some health issues, and both were so kind and patient with my limitations. The sheer volume of birds and other wildlife to photograph was beyond my wildest expectations. I highly recommend!

Adventure Safaris and especially our guide Robert created a terrific experience in Uganda for us
Our guide Robert was really the highlight of our tour through Uganda. He took perfectly care of us, always friendly and with great patience. All our accomodations were inspected by him first and if something was not perfect he took care immediately. On the afternoon Safaris he always found the perfect place for our Sundowner. We recommended Robert to friends of us visiting Uganda in November.
What was not so good: our permit for the Gorillas requested a 2 hour drive from our lodge early in the morning, means we had to leave at 6h and wihtout breakfast. Nobody told us before - in this case we would have choosen another lodge or choosen another timing for our travel. But again Robert made the best out of it - he made tee for us an organized breakfast boxes.

Fantastic safari lead by a very knowledgeable guide!
Transtreck provided a great experience for my husband and I on our honeymoon. We saw about every animal imaginable and our guide, Tony, was extremely knowledgeable about the terrain and animals alike. We stayed in some amazing camps , our favorite being the Mara Bush Camp, met wonderfully interesting people and felt at home in the Jeep after a week or so. A highlight of the trip was seeing a cheetah stalk and run down a gazelle. Tony placed us in the perfect position to see the entire event from start to finish. Simply amazing!

An exceptional game drive
I had booked our safari through Luitours and Safaris because of the many options they offered. We spent two nights in Selous Game Reserve and one night in Mikumi National Park. The staff at both places couldn't have been more accommodating - excellent!

Great safari trip, good guides and very enjoyable
Haron was very communicative via email for the booking and organising of the tour. We visited 4 parks across Kenya and Tanzania, both Paul in Kenya and Peter in Tanzania were great guides, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable - saw lots of wildlife including lions, leopards and cheetahs, and learnt a lot in the process. Had a really great time.
Slight hiccups:
1) a misunderstanding by one of the lodges, but I would like to underline that Haron sorted it out IMMEDIATELY and it was NOT the fault of African Sunset Safaris, the lodge had made a mistake (I mention this despite it having zero negative effect on our trip as it shows how responsive and quick to fix things the team at African Sunset Safaris are);
2) slight disappointment the early morning game drive on the last day in the itinery turned out to be a mistake, but we had seen so much by then that actually not getting up at the crack of dawn on the last day wasn't a big issue!
All the lodges/tented camps (mix of mid-range and a couple of luxury) were amazing, beautiful rooms, attentive staff and delicious food.
Would definitely recommend African Sunset Safaris (and already have done to a friend).
I am going to copy this review to FB and tripadvisor, as some travellers use those forums to double check reputability etc, and I would't want others to be put off by a lack of reviews on either of those - great company, great people, great trip.
Thank you very much for everything!
