Incredible experience and unforgettable memories
Our recent trip with Apodiformes Adventures was truly unforgettable. Their itinerary was perfectly planned, leading us to our dream hotel and providing just the right mix of adventure and relaxation. They responded quickly to our inquiries and made sure all our needs were met efficiently.
A major highlight was our guide, Sebastian. His sharp eyes could spot distant or hidden wildlife, making every safari thrilling. He was gentle, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions, teaching us a lot about Africa. Even on days with long transfers, Sebastian's planning ensured we always had a safari, making each day exciting.
The trip was filled with many memorable moments. Although we didn't see a cheetah this time, the amazing experiences and knowledge we gained have only fueled our desire to return to Africa.

Helpful, attentive and reactive!
I went on a 6-day safari with Tropical Wild Expeditions by sharing the places I wanted to visit: they took everything into account to offer me a safari within my budget and of good quality, with very decent accommodation. I'd definitely recommend them!

So glad we went on this local tour with an amazing guide/driver -John
We took a chance on this local tour that was 1/3 the price of most tours .We were last minute ( 2 months to find a tour when most book year in advance but nothing available for us and was quoted 7-9k a tour and put on a wait list ) 11 days for 2,700$. Every thing included. Boat, small plane, train Private driver. And let me tell you about our amazing driver!! John made the experience more memorable by being so accommodating and there for us in every way. He would do everything we wanted and didn’t want. John is an excellent driver, always the best viewing site for watching the animals. Especially when competing with 20 other vehicles to get close. He made us feel safe and comfortable. He knew we had trouble with all the early mornings but because of the heat, we had to go early ( we were mostly late) but he would smile and say” it’s ok. No problem “
Since it was such a low-cost tour, I was afraid of the accommodations. But comparing the accommodations to other people that took American tours, the rooms were incredible. We had air conditioning in some, TV, refrigerator . staff were very accommodating. Everywhere we went we hated to say goodbye. But the hardest goodbye was to our tour guide John, who became more like a friend. If you go on this tour, ask for John, you won’t be disappointed. We loved this tour. Feel free to contact me , as l will tell you the truth.

Morning Star Tours & Travel provided us with a trip of a lifetime!
I would recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel to anyone looking to book a Safari. We did the 11 day Leisurely game safari and Beach holiday combo and had an amazing trip. Dennis who organized the trip and sent us our itinerary, messaged us throughout our trip making sure everything was ok, and was fast to answer any questions we had before and during our trip. Our guide John was phenomenal and was very knowledgeable, he also did his best to get us in the best spots for viewing the wildlife and now we have some amazing photos to cherish the memories. We also felt it was so easy to ask him any questions and he would cater to all our needs. We had a great time with him and were sorry to see him go when it was time to separate, he made our trip that much better. The accommodation we stayed in all felt high end and we loved every place we stayed at. This trip will stay with us forever, thank you morning star!

Awesome
I did an okavango delta trip with my friends and relatives from 23 May to 29 with Sam, the owner of Early kingfisher safari. He was very accommodating and responsive from the beginning I contacted him for safaris. I and my companions had a memorable trip with his company. Our guide cum driver Paul was icing on the cake, a very jovial, cooperative, knowledgeable and above all always ready to be at your help kind of man . Sam and his staff had taken every bit of care to keep us satisfied whether it was food, accommodation, boat ride etc. I enjoyed this trip more than my Serengeti trip in Tanzania. His rate was also the most reasonable of all I had contacted. So no thinking at all when you book with this tour company.

welcoming, well organized and friendly
we loved the tour, it was well organized we had a great tour guide, William who was very knowledgeable of the area and the animals, birds we spotted. He did his upmost to ensure we saw the big five and we were luck enough to see an actual hunt of a lion and a wilder-beast !
Our tour was one of the few who had hot meals for lunch, many other tours had only sandwiches. our tour agent was also very helpful always just a chat away (we used whats app mostly).

Excellent experience, very helpful
I had an excellent experience with Ezekiel and Juma on two safaris, they were very helpful and patiently answered any questions. The company's guides are also knowledgeable and explain well. A very good experience.

Terrible Safari Partners Tanzania
Safari Partners is a third party booking agent. This means they will find other Company that will take booking. NO STANDARD and Less Service!
Our booking agent was Edward who was impossible to contact when we had a problem and did not do a proper job with booking causing a lot of stress on our Safari.
The 1) Safari vehicle used was not up to Healthy standards. After spending 12 hours traveling to and from Serengeti National Park, the vehicle was plagued by Dust and Dirt due to faulty windows, doors and no air conditioning which could help filter the air.
This resulted in an unhealthy air quality inside the vehicle, especially for senior citizens.
2) Moreover, communication with Edward became inadequate after he received payment for the Safari.
He also 3) failed to book the correct number of rooms for the duration of our Safari, leaving one night unbooked.
Edward also 4) Did not book our flight to Zanzibar correctly causing us to spend night in Dar es Salaam in a very very cheap and dirty Hotel. After we paid for Zanzibar Hotel and missing the first night in Tembo Hotel Zanzibar.
Edward also 5) promised a city tour of Arusha though the driver showed up an 75 minutes late allowing no time for City Excursion.
Edward should know his contract helper. Edward did not take responsible to his clients!
6) Safari Vehicle had many problems: windows and doors will not shut properly leaking in dust and dirt, loud noise after starting engine, seat belt and safety bar did not work properly, and finally Vehicle Broke Down.
In my life experiences, words are Cheap and often used by individuals with Questionable motives to shift blame. Edward did not offer any refund, just a bunch of red excuses and misleading statements blaming others.
My recommendation is to find another company to plan your Safari! Don't use Edward.
