Review about Arusha National Park by Eleanore Avery
Arusha is a lovely half day spent before starting safari. This is only park in Tanzania to see the beautiful bkack and white Colobus Monkey.

Vuriva does a Great Job
I have been to Tanzania with Vuriva three times (May 2007, February 2009, and September 2009), and never failed to have a great experience, and with their help, was able to get very good photographs. I am a very serious amateur photographer and appreciate their knowledge of what it takes to get good photographs on a safari. And their friendliness was unsurpassed. We became friends rather than just clients. Because of our enjoyable experiences with them, 'my wife and I are bringing 15 of our friends with us for another safari in February 2018.

Amazing
I had an amazing trip with Encounter Africa Safaris and recommend it to anyone who wants to go gorilla tracking -pic-up, service, food, great staff and of course the tracking itself.
Absolutely first class, best of 4 safaris we have been on
Despite Jambo Airlines attempt to mess it up by breaking their plane at Ukanda we were able to contact the owner late on a Saturday to alter our plans. Our guide, Anthony, was excellent both as a safe driver (rare in Kenya), an on the spot repair man and finder of the big 5 and a lot more. We did the Aberdares/Samburu/Meru/Ol Pejeta safari. All was good but I would have preferred to have swapped the Aberdares for an extra day in Meru. Meru is a delight and should be visited by many more people and the Ikweta safari camp picked by Mwema was a gem. You can never promise Leopards but 3 in one day in Samburu was the pick of the holiday (excepting our daughters wedding that is!!!).

Amazing four days safari
We took the services of Heri Africa Tours for a 4 day Safari and all I could say is that Immaculate and her crew were excellent in all aspects. The communication and organization were very efficient. Three weeks prior to our trip, everything has been sorted out and we’ve been in touch for questions which were greatly handled. Immaculate went beyond her job to provide us info on visas, vaccination, transport, accommodation, etc. We couldn’t ask for more. I personally enjoyed how the whole trip was made special by John the chef, Mike the driver/guide, and Immaculate our main contact.
The trip was affordable and way lower as compared to other tour operators we asked quote from. We expected a low quality service with the price we bargained for but we were surprised that everything has been up to standard. I highly recommend Heri Africa Tours if you want affordable yet quality tours to Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Moshu and Arusha. Thanks for organizing such an amazing trip for us.

Amazing safari!
So great and so amazing! Everything, from the first contact with George until we get back the the airport (after the safari) worked very well. During the safari we had a great guide, jacob, that showed us all the big 5 in Masai Mara. Jacob was an excellent driver and he took us to places in the park that we thought no one could drive to - but he could and ge did it on a safe way! Our safari was a totally awesome experience. So happy that we booked with Right Choice! :-D
And we had a great weather as well, we was a little worried about the rainy season (april-may) but no rain come, it was dry and sunny (from e clear blue sky) every day!
One day before we started our safari Jacob also took us around in Nairobi, to visit the David Sheldrick (elefant babys) and the giraffe center. So nice of him, it feeled very safe to drive around the busy city with him.
During the safari we stayed at Ashnil mara camp and the lodge was like everything els so great.
We loved our safari! Must go back in the future! And when we go, we would definitely go with "Right Coice" again.

Fantastic trip to Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience with Karumuna Safaris. We went to Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi and ended the tour with a night a Lake Bunyonyi. Richard was extremely helpful in arranging the tour to exactly what we wanted to do and helped work within our budget. Our driver Moses was great during the trip and spotted lots of animals in Queen Elizabeth that we would have otherwise missed! I would absolutely recommend using Karumuna Safaris for all of your tour needs in Uganda.

I have been traveling with Vuriva almost every year since 2001 and they are the very best!
I have traveled to Africa 25 times. I have been on safari with Vuriva 10 times since 2001. Their service and arrangements were always impeccable and best of all...dependable! Different years, I took my children and granddaughters to Tanzania. We traveled from Arusha to western Tanzania (Chimpanzees) to southern
Natl Parks (Ruaha and others) and Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro, Serengeti south (Nduti) Serengeti north (Migration) and all areas in between! My long time guide and dear friend, Waziri, sadly died last year, but Viruva's tradition of excellent service, excellent care of clients, and dependable excellent itinerary are beyond reproach. I have sent many friends to Vuriva Safaris and they all were so pleased they booked another safari.
I have stayed in camps in most of East Africa and nobody does it better than Vuriva! I look forward to my next safari in August 2017 with Vuriva.

Very good experience.
I think the trip was excellent. And the attention from the online guys was good until.......
It was awkward for all of us when Jimmy was informed by office - this, half-way to Queen Elizabeth Park - that I needed to pay the rest of the fee before we proceeded . However, I hadn't receive a email reminder, and as I had booked some months previously, I finally figured out that I really hadn't.
So, we had to do several bank withdrawals along the way, on separate days, in order to fix this. I expect one of the online guys forgot to send the reminder, just like I forgot I needed to pay it. (Sorry guy(s) , I'm sure neither of us did this intentionally).
I would definitely recommend a trip with Safari Bookings
But it was solved and I definitely would recommend the trip.
