Our safari was absolutely amazing, I would like to thank Ben and his staff for a life time memory.
I ended up booking my safari with Ben and E-trip Africa for various reasons. First of all Ben helped me plan my itinerary, which was really helpful, as I did reach out to other safari companies, response times were a bit slow and my questions not all thoroughly answered, especially about travel to the northern region. I found a few of the tour operators didn't take the time out to help me understand that the trip I had originally wanted was really not feasible in the time frame I had for the safari, I felt they wanted to sell me what ever I wanted and truthfully it would of been miserable and we would of spend alot of time driving instead of enjoying the animals. However,Ben responded in a timely manner and was open to all my questions and help me understand the travel within the serengenti, as I had no idea what to expect, and was able to offer me feasible alternatives to exactly what I wanted to do and see. It didn't matter how many questions, he was very knowledgable and when I told him exactly what I wanted for accomodations he knew exactly what we were looking for and was able to give us options and helped us pick exactly what we wanted that allowed us to get the best value for our dollar. We were not disappointment in any of our accomodations and thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. We stayed in tented camps and each one gave us excellent service, and were unique within themselves. The safari tour was beyond our expectations, and the wildlife was plentiful. Our driver/guide was knowlegable and took care of my sister and I as if we were family. We could of not asked for a better person to show us around this beautiful landscape. The people of tanzania are kind and welcoming. I didn't want the safari to ever end. Thank You, Ben, I would recommend E trip Africa to anybody and when I decide to return this is exactly the company I would use again.

Beautiful Park
The wildlife in this park is plentiful from the time we entered into the gate. The weather was hot and dry with no rain. The scenery was stunning and the accommodations we had were excellent. Going through the gate can take a little bit of time, but it gave us time to get out and stretch out legs from the drive and just enjoy being there. We saw many lions, we lost track of the count. It is like someone placed me in a storybook. I would surely revisit it all over again.

About my beautiful trip
Lake Manze and the safari was excellent and we would definitely do something similar again. We enjoyed our holiday and everything ran very smoothly. The connections were excellent.

One of our top ten holidays ever
Our wonderful holiday with Afric'Aventure began when we were met at Dar es Salaam airport by the Managing Director herself. We were offered cool towels and water to refresh ourselves, and a delightfully decorated box containing all the documents we would need for our trip and some handcrafted soaps from Zanzibar. The drive to our hotel in peak hour took ages, but this provided an opportunity for Anne to tell us many things about Tanzania, Dar es Salaam and our coming trip.
We were not disappointed with the rest of the voyage. The lodges at Ruaha (Mwagusi Safari Camp) and Selous (Selous Impala Camp) more than lived up to our expectations. The bangas/tents, dining and reception areas were impeccable, the staff could not be more friendly and helpful, and the guides and drivers extremely competent. The two hotels we stayed in, (Alexander's in Dar es Salaam, and Mashariki Palace Hotel in Zanzibar) were excellent.
We did not experience a single organisational hitch, as far as domestic flights and transfers are concerned.
All in all, easily one of our top ten holidays ever!
A Remarkable Adventure never to be forgotten
Arkman Africa was a wonderful add to my adventure to Kenya. Not only were their services spot-on, their plans were interesting and well-thought out. I don't think my experience to Kenya would have been the same without Arkman...

Amazing, well organized and comfortable
We took the safari with Wild Life Sun Safari a couple months ago. Our first trip to Africa as such we didnt know what to expect, how safe it would be etc. James and his team were well organized. James even picked us up at the airport the first night. Made us not worry about being in an unknown place. All our guides were really nice and knowledgeable. They did a very good job at sighting wildlife to make sure we got to see most of the predators. The hotels that were picked were fantastic as well. The guides were flexible with our needs. they even took us for our shopping needs on our last day for special gifts back (we did not want the typical souvenirs and so they took us to special place where they hand make beads and jewellery in Nairobi). The trip was planned out in detail and well thought through
We did have some issues with our vehicle on the Tanzania side where James's partners run the business. The terrain is pretty rough on cars and they can break down easily. But the vehicle they had in Tanzania was pretty old and beat up just increasing its chance of break down. and it did break down. But the our guide was very resourceful and got us into another vehicle to go back across the border. So all in all it worked out great. but this could be avoided if they use better vehicles. In James's interest to make sure your partner on Tanzania side keeps up with your high standards.
My overall assessment will be we could not have asked for a better experience and really were glad to have gone with Wild life sun safari. They are the best and we recommend them to anyone looking for safari in Kenya.
