Amazing services and very skilled personnel
Charles is very knowledgeable and keen to details. He choose for us the best lodges and advised us on the best time to visit the parks to see plenty of wildlife. We were able to see the Big Five and even understand why the name big five and we were explained to about small five. Our safari in Maasai mara and Diani beach was excellent. I highly recommend Panora tours safaris for making our experience so memorable and special.

Very good
We had the pleasure of having an unforgettable safari experience with starpal. From the outset the service was first class and professional. The booking was straightforward and the team were always on hand to answer any questions we had.
Our guide bosko was extremely knowledgeable and had an impressive eye for detail. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to observe some of the Big Five in their natural habitat, which was an absolute highlight of the trip. The accommodation was comfortable and well located to enjoy the beauty of nature to the full.
I was particularly impressed by the respect bosko shows towards wildlife and the environment. It was obvious that sustainability and animal welfare are a high priority for the company.
We can highly recommend starpal insesondete bosko to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching safari experience.

It was an incredible experience
From our arrival at the airport, the attention of Exec Africa Travel and Tours was excellent. They picked us up at the airport, helped us carry out all the activities we had planned and also the activities that occurred to us during the downtime of our trip. Manuel always had very good service and I would recommend him to anyone.

Awesome!
We have climbed Kilimanjaro with Salumu and Aminiele and their team. What a great team! Salumu and Aminiele kept us motivated en safe. What an awesome experience, without them we would not have made it to the summit. We even got a cake to celebrate! Everyday we got fresh water en delicious food. On tough moments they helped us carry our backpack to make it easier. One team, one dream, all the way to the top, non stop!
With guide George Marley we did a 4 day safari. Great guy! He gave us tips to start early in the morning to see the animals more active. He had great knowledge about the animals and always treated them with respect. He could aswer our questions about the animals and the surroundings. We felt safe with him driving while we stood up in the car.

Unreal, what an amazing experience
4 day - 2 nights Masai Mara (stopping at sopa lodge), and 1 night lake Nakuru (inside lodge)
Lucy organised my trip, she gave me very quick responses with full information, the tour guide John was exceptional, both lodges were clean and very pleasant with the most amazing views at Nakuru lodge! John definitely knew his stuff when it came to the game drives, he gave us the greatest chance of seeing as many animals as possibles!

Family away from home - still have contact and miss them a lot
Hello everyone,
We had a 5-day experience with Borbo Safaris. It was thoroughly positive.
First we were picked up at the airport by Rebecca and Emanual and even then they were very helpful and friendly. We stayed at their home the whole time and also got to know their three children. We also received a very warm welcome here and through the contact with the children we also learned a lot about the culture and life in Tanzania.
We did 2 tours with Borbo Safaris. One was the Barbati tour and the other was a two-day safari to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Both tours will remain in our memories for different reasons.
1st Barbati Tour
The Barbati tour leads to the families of Emanuel and Rebecca. It is a longer drive, but in general you have to be prepared for a few hours in the car. Once we arrived, we first visited the lake and then learned a lot about the local nature and culture (e.g. the cultivation of corn and the illegal distillation of alcohol). Then we continued on and got to know the whole family, ate with them and slept on the farm. After being woken up by the sound of chickens, we went to Rebecca's family and then back home.
All in all, it was very exciting, but also adventurous at the same time. We would recommend it to anyone who wants a deeper insight into life in Tanzania.
2nd Safari
The two-day safari was perfect for us. We were picked up in the morning and brought back the next evening. In between were hours full of amazement, enthusiasm and overwhelming nature.
First we went to Tarangire Park - home of elephants. And this is no exaggeration. Less than 5 minutes into the park, the first elephants walked right past our car, ate the grass next to us and there were even baby elephants. Our friendly and courteous guide always explained all the information about the wildlife with great expertise. He also knew exactly where to go next, so that we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, ostriches, buffaloes, monkeys and many more animals at close range on the very first day. In the evening, we went to the lodge for an excellent meal and good entertainment.
The next day was even better than the first. The Ngorongoro Crater is a spectacle of nature. Once again we saw lots of lions, hippos, zebras, flamingos and even a rhino. It is also exciting to see how different the vegetation is. The selection of the two parks complemented each other wonderfully.
I still have no words for these 5 days and this experience. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. Thank you for your hospitality, support and kindness, Rebecca. Thank you for your energy, planning and organization, Emanuel. Thank you for your love, joy and openness, Agness, Bonnie, Robin. We really feel like part of the Borbo family.

Friendly, good value and good communication.
I thought Axis Africa were good communicators via email and WhatsApp before and during the trip. The accommodations were comfortable including for our elderly grandparent. Everyone went out of their way helping her. The game drives were nice and long and we saw tons of animals. The driver knew the best spots around the park. He usually did not say more than just the animal name, so sometimes I wish he would explain more, although he did when asked. The Maasai village visit was worth it, it was fascinating, just be prepared because it is also a vehicle for selling souvenirs. The 3 day safari involves a lot of time in the car (6 hours to and from the Park, and 10 hour game drives) so be prepared for that as well. Grandma left happy.

Borbo Safari treated us like a family and we are so glad, that we enjoyed so much time with them.
Hello there,
When I show the pictures of my trip at home, most people ask me how we managed to get so close to nature and culture. The answer is actually Borbo Safari. We would never have gotten such an insight into life in Tanzania if Emanuel and Rebecca hadn't taken us in and shown us around.
We would never have had such a great safari if they hadn't organized everything for us.
I would like to briefly expand on these two points.
We traveled through Tanzania as a couple and it is always difficult to have a truly local experience. That's why these two were so lucky. It was no problem at all to visit the family with them, to learn how to cook, which plants grow where and how people live here. We were able to make music and dance with them and really live. Perhaps the best thing about it is that we are still in contact and it feels like family.
The safari was also amazing. We were able to see elephants so close that we could almost touch them. We saw lions sitting in front of us and looking us in the eye. The list of animals is long: hippos, giraffes, monkeys, hyenas, zebras, antelopes, wildebeests, flamingos, ostriches, wild boars, buffalos and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. The nature in the two nature reserves was breathtaking. There is really nothing that we missed.
A huge THANK YOU for everything. With you, the trip was more like coming home and we will never forget you and that.
