UNRELIABLE
I really need to write this review because tourists need to know that Swahili Paradise and Tours is completely UNRELIABLE and with a TERRIBLE ORGANIZATION.
In summary:
- our contact Jimmy disappeared once we did the payment
- No timely answer about how to pay the balance amount that finally had to be payed with their own personal exchanging rate (+10%)
- Lodge with employees that does not speak English and not helping during 2 blackouts and not working showers
- Wrong informations about how to use the showers in the lodge
- Terrible organization to collect our luggage
- Employees asking for the wrong amount of money (they discounted 3$ on an amount of 665$) and after all that we were asked for the remaining 3$.
- After all that, Jimmy did not even understand that there were SOME problems
- Before writing this review we gave Jimmy a feedback about the whole experience and he did nothing to improve the situation
I WOULD ADVISE YOU NOT TO TRUST THIS COMPANY.

The best 6 days of our lives
There’s no word of exaggeration when I say that Telly Safaris provided us with one of the best 6 days of our lives. We had a rough start with losing our luggage on the way and the team constantly tried to help us get it back and organise a way to get it out to us on our safari. We were also delayed quite heavily with our transfer from Zanzibar to the Serengeti but they still gave us a 4 hour safari on the day we arrived and we literally saw EVERYTHING on the first day all up close and personal. The rest of the safari itself was nothing short of spectacular, our driver Godson was unbelievable and had such incredible knowledge of the parks and went above and beyond to see the animals from all angles and sometimes raced through the parks to make sure we saw animals when knowledge came through on the intercom he used. He drove for hours and kept an incredibly keen eye for animals at the same time which made it so key in seeing literally all the animals you possible could in Africa. We saw full pods of hippos, lions catching and eating prey, baby lions with their mother and cheetahs hunting. Check out our Instagram highlights @dannyjhirst @kateehopkinson
Aside from the safari we stayed in 4 hotels on our way round Tanzania and they were all incredible, genuine 4/5 star calibre with beautiful food, settings and staff who constantly made you feel welcome. You were provided with brilliant lunches on the tour and kept you going the full day. One piece of advice is to take a few jumpers, the mornings and nights can be bitterly cold till the sun comes out.
I honestly don’t think we could have got better product for our money with any other company in the world, we will be forever thankful for the experience they gave us.

Very attentive to customer wishes
This was our first safari. We were at 3 national parks, and every day we were exploring something new.We saw all the big 5, and other wonderful animals. The guide was very attentive and tried to do the best for us. We are grateful for such the wonderful experience. We can confidently recommend the safari operator

Everything was organized at a high level.
I liked everything very much. Everything is clear and coordinated. We booked the tour with a 30% prepayment, paid the rest just before departure, there were no problems. We saw all the animals, including the leopard and the black rhinoceros, thanks to our guide driver. We took a lot of cool photos! The loggias where we were accommodated for the night and the food we were fed were very good.

Very knowledgeable about the safari work.
Loren Safaris offered a one day safari tour at the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a lot of driving however, the whole process felt like hour due to our tour guide being full of knowledge about the safari, and the culture of the area and willingness to answer all of our questions. These guys are nothing but professional. They are personable and VERY funny. The process was smooth as he walked us through it. I recommend Loren all the way.

A fantastic experience, would wholeheartedly recommend!
An excellent company with a very professional approach. We booked a 1 day Hell's Gate National Park trip with time at the geothermal spa and a boat ride at Lake Naivasha. I was in touch with Caro throughout the booking process and she was fantastic. The safari itself was very well-organised and we all had a great time. Our guide John was polite, friendly, and very accommodating. One of our group members forgot a valuable personal item at the geothermal spa and Caro went out of her way to hand deliver the item to us. I would highly recommend Morningstar to anyone looking to book a safari.
Beacon Safaris were fantastic, Daniel looked after us every step of the way.
Great tour with Beacon Safari’s. Daniel was excellent, we really enjoyed our visit.

Overall a great guide! ; Jackson the Great
Being away for a Safari with my family and having Jackson as our Guide, was an amazing experience! Always could count on him a 1000%. From the pick up at the airport till the last day we enjoyed his company and cheerful and joyous Spirit. He is a Master at spotting animals for we have seen them ALL.; from very close-by and in different circumstances, like hunting/playful/mating and feeding cubs. It was mezmerizing! Also his knowledge about wildlife is amazing. Ánd he introduced us into the world of Maasai and Tanzanian Culture, given his own background as a Masaai. I will definately recommend him if you want to have the time of your life at Safari !

Great guides and catered to our preferences
Steve and his team were excellent in making us feel secure throughout the booking process. After multiple changes in itinerary Steve still helped us with joy and had a positive attitude towards our trip to Kenya.
Sammy and Martin were our guides and both were knowledgeable, funny and in great spirits throughout the trip. Couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Ramja clearly puts its customers first. Keep up the work. Will definitely visit Kenya again and work with Ramja
