Wonderful Tanzania guide/driver
Our guide/driver Lalashe was just a wonderful person and within our first day felt like a friend ir family member. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the country, the flore and fauna and a safe driver. All members of our family loved iur trip and thanks to Gladiola are feeling a true connection to Tanzania

Incredible
My husband and are did the 23 day safari around lake Victoria and absolutely loved it. Definitely best value and liked that we were in charge of what we ate instead of being given premade meals like some other tours.
Wycliffe, our tour guide, and our driver, Hezron, were both the nicest, most considerate people you could find.
We both were comfortable with the camping, tents were really good quality and because we were lucky with a small group, got to stack the mats up 2 high which made it very comfortable.

We asked for a private Hemingway Experience and Africa Dream Safaris delivered-5 camps under canvas!
Communication via emails before departure were impeccable. We were handled from the time we deplaned in JRO until the time they left us at deportation from same airport.
Our guide was experienced, knowledgeable, personable, and intelligent. Our expectations were surpassed in every aspect. We spent 10 days on safari staying in 5 different camps all under canvas. We were the only people at 4 of the 5 camps having the full staff at our disposal- now that’s what I call private! We can’t wait to experience this safari again in 2 years- with ADS!

Beacon safari did an excellent job making our first trip to Kenya a wonderful time!
First, we were very worried about our first trip to Kenya. However, Beacon safari (and all other safari tours that I requested quotes to) replied quickly and politely which helped me a lot to compare and choose the best tour for me.
The tour service was great, we were able to go to all the places we wanted to go. We were able to see almost all the animal we wanted to see (due to the season, and they’re WILD animals so it can’t be promised that there will all be there). Our tour guide, James ,worked so hard to look for all the animals for us. He also told me a lot of information about Kenya, the animals and the cultures which were very interesting.
I would highly recommend Beacon safari and will use it again if I have another chance to go to Kenya again.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Sumit Dasgupta
We did not see all the big-5 but are happy with what we saw. Very scenic and the whole place with its unpaved roads has been kept as pristine as possible. Tanzania has done a superb job in maintaining these national treasures.

Wonderful experience, an experience made that much better thanks to a great guide
Our primary reason for going to Tanzania was to visit the Serengeti, which included Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Oldupai Gorge and Ngorongoro. Our tour was through Kilidove Travel which provided a safari truck and driver (Jackson) for just the 2 of us. It was a fabulous trip and a lot of credit goes to our superb guide, Jackson, for the diligence with which he searched for the big-5.
The taxi driver we hired to get to Arusha and back was also very helpful. We paid him a bit extra and he took us all the way to Kilimanjaro National Park and showed us around.
The hotel in Arusha was excellent and the staff there treated us very, very well.
Overall, we have come back with a wonderful experience and opinion of the country and its people.

Fantastic!
We visitited Masaii Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha on our safari. Masaii Mara is amazing! Beautiful scenery, lots of animals and nice weather. You can easily skip Laka Naivasha. Not so much to see or experience. The lodging was not nice and staff not so friendly. Lake Nakuru, hardly any flamingos, that is the main attraction at the lake. Did see lions and giraffs though.

Fantastic 5 day animal and lodge extravaganza
I did the 5 day big 5 tour with my husband, parents and brother - a mix of ages and tastes but we all LOVED it! Moses was a very experienced, competent and helpful guide - we felt in safe hands from start to finish. The vehicle provided was comfortable and professional. The Lodges were both very nice - Pakuba Lodge is really close to the animals, we had warthogs and waterbucks on our lawns by our room and elephants about 100m away on arrival! Marafiki was also a good Lodge with nice design features. Both had truly beautiful views. And my gosh the animals!!! This truly exceeded expectations. The rhino sanctuary is a once in a lifetime experience and the nation parks are amazing. Murchison waterfall hike was also a highlight. Tour company very friendly and easy to work with. All went very smoothly for an unforgettable experience!!!
