Michael is amazing, he took wonderful care of our group and gave us the experience of a lifetime!
I just got back from an 8 day safari with Michael and what a fantastic adventure it was! Michael greeted us at the airport and took us to our hotel for the night and picked us up the following morning to start our safari. Our first 2 days were spent in Tarangire National Park and we were absolutely blown away. Elephants, Giraffes, zebra, monkeys, lions, and many more. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable about the park and all of the animals. Our accommodations at the Lokasile Tent Camp were fantastic and everyone was so incredibly kind. It was a wonderful way to spend our first 2 nights. We then embarked on a long drive to the Serengeti but Michael made us so comfortable that we didn't even notice how far we had driven. We even jumped out of the truck in a rain storm to get a photo with a beautiful rainbow. We spent a few nights in the Serengeti and it just surpassed all of our expectations. We were able to see so much (wildebeest migration, thousands of zebras, gazelles, dik dik, hippos, the list goes on and on. Michael and Nelson adjusted our accommodations based on the location of the animals (they were constantly in contact with other guides about where the best spots were for sightings). After the Serengeti we drove down into the Ngorongoro crater and again we were all just mesmerized by what we were seeing, cape buffalo, rhinos, beautiful flamingos, lions, water hogs. There were 6 of us traveling together and we all agree that Michael is now family. I cannot recommend Cape Dog enough. This trip has been on the top of my bucket list for years and Cape Dog delivered an experience beyond my wildest dreams.

Benson Maina delivered an extraordinary experience!
Benson (Benjo) Maina is an amazing and extraordinary guide! I had picked “Into Adventure Safaris” based on the reviews here but was not sure what to expect - even a little nervous coming into a new country but Benson easily put all that nervousness to rest! Benson took very good care of us and it was very reassuring. He has vast experience and it really showed both with the information he shared and the places he took us. We were able to see all the animals on our list - that too up close - in the different parks. Our hearts really skipped a beat when the elephant and lion came close and looked at us. Ben is very passionate about his job and it really shows. He is very kind, considerate and very knowledgeable. It was a memorable experience for us which we will cherish for ever. It is way more than 5 stars!!!

Great Tour with Johnny
I recently booked a 3 day safari excursion with Jocky Tours and had an amazing time! I'm used to staying at the Four Seasons but i'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and stayed at Lechanda Camp with Jocky Tours. As a person who has a deep fear of bugs, I had ZERO problems with my tent or the camp really for that matter and didn't leave with a single bug bite as I feared staying in the jungle. It was 3 of us in our tent and it had a toilet, with shower and hot water so all your basic necessities. The beds were comfy and had soft blankets. Our tour guide Johnny was very knowledgable of the animals and a great guide! We enjoyed our tours but on the last day we decided we wanted to head back to nairobi a little early around 6am instead of doing another game drive and he was very flexible and accommodating. Also communication prior to our arrival was very quick and responsive, Hellen was great as well! If you're looking for a great budget camp, I recommend going with Jocky Tours. We also booked a hot air balloon ride through the camp and it was great! There is a bonfire area that they can set up for you at night and I recommend bringing s'mores stuff!

Michelle from Explore Africa was a gift from the heavens
I love planning holidays and always do the planning myself, but Africa required a specialist with so many choices with camps and locations, time of year, duration at each camp, animals to focus on. Michelle made it so easy and the experience exceeded our expectations. We asked for smaller camps, more authentic fit-out, family feel, connection with place. Chacma and Motswari Camps were perfect. Every holiday needs Michelle, thank you!!!!

Amazing Experience
What an unbelievable experience that my wife and I will never forget. We were fortunate enough to see a pack of lions hunting buffalo, which was definitely the highlight of the safari. Our driver, James, was super knowledgeable and you could tell he was a pro. Our second last day, we had not yet seen a cheetah, so James drove around for a while, and of course we stumbled upon a cheetah who had just finished feeding, with absolutely no other people/cars around. There's a lot of driving on the safari (as expected), but could not recommend it more.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Sharan Dosanjh
A little less big animals here but lots of birds, elephants and antelopes.

A breathtaking safari adeventure
What you think obout. Our family of five had an absolutely wonderful trip through northern Tanzania. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and unforgettable. Each day brought new adventures and breathtaking sights. We were captivated by the diverse wildlife in Tarangire National Park, the vast plains of the Serengeti, and the stunning views of the Ngorongoro Crater.
The accommodations were comfortable and well-suited for our family, providing a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The knowledgeable guides made the experience even more special, sharing their expertise and ensuring we saw the best of what each park had to offer.
Highlights included seeing elephants up close, witnessing the migration of wildebeests and zebras, and spotting the elusive tree-climbing lions. The game drives were thrilling and educational, offering countless photo opportunities and lasting memories.
Overall, our trip through northern Tanzania was a fantastic family adventure that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the beauty and wonder of this incredible region.
