Amazing experience
While there are countless safari options available, contacting the agency and Witness was incredibly straightforward. She promptly responded to our messages, allowing us to tailor the safari to our preferences. We even had the opportunity to visit Kilimanjaro National Park for a walking tour and to join locals for coffee preparation. Immediately after, with our guide Guzlov, we headed straight to the first park. He proved to be an exceptional guide, ensuring we spotted all the animals we had hoped to see. Guzlov took great care of us throughout the journey, offering insights into animal life and migration systems in the Serengeti and surrounding parks. Staying overnight in the Serengeti was a truly remarkable experience. The hotel was superb, with attentive staff who catered to our every need. The sunrise breakfast overlooking the Serengeti was unforgettable. All the guides and drivers who accompanied us also provided exceptional service.

Fantastic 8 days Serengeti. Lost for superlatives to describe the package Dancing Simba presented.
The Dancing Simba Safari Co (run by David John) exceeded all expectations. The itinerary and organization of the Safari was absolutely superb. His driver/guide Prochase has been hosting Serengeti Safaris for 10 years and his knowledge of all the animals and environment was outstanding. His English language skills were very good. We saw animals by the thousands - elephants, zebras, hippos, lions, leopards and many more. Just for your information the estimated count of wildebeests in Serengeti 1.5 to 2 million. The Lodges, hotels and glamping sites we stayed were of a very high standard - king bed,s ensuites wifi! Would highly recommend Dancing Simbas - you won't be disappointed.

Amazing, very responsive and very happy to look at different options. Ms Emilia is wonderful.
I booked this tour on line after reviewing and reading the amazing reviews. I was traveling from NZ on my own and asked how many other people would be traveling, and it ended up being Sacky (Tour guide/driver) and myself for 14 days and 13 nights.
From when I landed in Windhoek and met Sacky, we had the most amazing time exploring the beauty of Namibia - extreme landscapes to the most incredible animals - I love photography.
Sacky was an incredible guide and driver - very knowledgable, thoughtful, kind and we had lots of laughs. He loves what he does and you can see this every day. Sacky is well known and respected at the different lodges we stayed at.
When you think about how you arrive and then spend 14 days with a person you have never met, we got on so well, learnt so much about Namibia and shared about each others lives.
Some of the days involve a lot of driving 4-6 hours on gravel roads with lots of bumps and potholes, we just got on with it and could relax and enjoy the different scenario. Sacky has a great music selection.
I was able to take amazing photographs of the wildlife and elephants being my favorite, there were some incredible moments of just sitting in the ute and these beautiful animals just walking past you.
Sacky would always discuss what we were doing the next day and time to meet.
I can not rate Sacky highly enough, in all the 14 days there was nothing that we argued or complained about.
We became good friends during this experience and will remain so.
If you get a chance to have Sacky as your guide - you will be very lucky and have an amazing journey.

Amazing experience!
My group of 5 had an incredible time on the 7-day Victoria Falls to Okavango Delta safari. We were met at the airport in Victoria Falls and everything there was handled through our lodge, including a lovely guided tour of the falls (Zimbabwe side). Our Victoria Falls lodge also handled our transfer to Botswana, where another driver met us; everything went smoothly and was very easy for us. We then had a wonderful boat tour on the Chobe River, where we saw a group of elephants cross the river at sunset. After the boat tour we met our guide for the rest of the safari, Sox, who was amazing! Sox took us on our game drives and handled the rest of our transfers on the safari. The game drives were incredible. We saw so many amazing animals, including many that Sox sought out for us. Our three nights of camping were also amazing. Our chef, Enoch, cooked incredible meals for us (taking into account our dietary restrictions), and camp manager Gaetey and camp services Jonathan made sure everything was comfortable. There was even a toilet and shower set up behind each tent! I highly recommend Moonstroll!

Excellent Tour company.
Our journey first began in March 2023, where we found shadows of Africa(SOA) on SafariBooking. As a family of six, coming from Los Angeles we needed certain assurances such as organization and clarity. Working with Tash she did exactly that and more. The itinerary was thorough with maps, descriptions, and the cost analysis. She was able to build in some rest days to accommodate for our 4 kids so they can be refreshed on the safari.
When we took our safari June 2024, the pick up was smooth. The next day, we went out the Meturuni waterfalls / coffee tour. This is a must to do. Check out the photos. The water comes directly from Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Sylvester was well knowledgeable when doing the short hike to the waterfalls. He knew a lot of ppl in the village that helped made the experience more memorable. We ate bananas, avocados, passions fruit and more. The 2nd part which is the coffee tour was excellent too. He showed us how coffee is grown, processed, and made.
As we begun our journey to Arusha, we stopped at a place to eat called Kaliwa which so happen to be a lodge too. It was one of the two best vegetarian meals we had our entire safari trip. Also you had a chance to see Kilimanjaro.
We had the privilege to have Lucas as our guide. He was great with our little kids (pole, pole) on the safari. He made sure all of our dietary and exploratory needs were met. Although we had an excellent itinerary, he made sure we were not restricted by it. I see why people called going on safari, called it an once in a lifetime experience. We ate an hot meal in the middle of the Serengeti with wildebeest and zebras. The food was freshly prepared the morning of each safari trip that added to the loveliness of our trip. I give Lucas an 10/10. We saws the black rhino, Dek Dek, flamingos, hippos, elephants, of course Lions and many more. It was also fluently English, Spanish, German, and off course Swahili.
Tash recommended we do a cultural tour on our last day. I wish we did the tour over two days. We visited banana farm, rice farm, painting, word carving, local market, and then ate the second best vegetarian food on our trip from a local cook. It was a terrific option.
Lastly, Ben was our contact in Tanzania. We were able to quickly troubleshoot any situation. We appreciate his constant assurance and checking in with us daily.
Here are a few points I think you should think about. Bring more cash for tipping. Although it is voluntary, you will see the ppl that cater to you really deserves the tip and it goes directly to their pockets. Second we wish we brought more cash for souvenirs. I made a mistake thinking they will have a card machine in the middle of nowhere(Safari) when purchasing local honey or local crafts. It doesn’t exist. Also you can bargin more if you have cash especially shilling. As the cliché, says expect the unexpected!

Very accommodating and awesome job
I went on 7 day safari trip with Meru slopes. They were very accommodating in planning my trip. The safari vehicle and driver was great. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to show us the animals at close distance and still respected the distance for safety. The cook was amazing. He was able accommodate our needs. The whole group enjoyed the trip. They were able to pick us up from airport and drop us back. I think the whole trip is very amazing. The price is unbeatable compared to some of western sites. They were experienced in tours. I highly recommend them

Best Safari Ever
From the word go, it was smooth sailing.
Mr Goodluck was prompt. Responses were clear. Sitting thousands of miles away, this gave us confidence to go ahead. The transaction was smooth. Whatever was promised was delivered. Hotels were the best. Guide and driver Mr Billdad was very knowledgeable and efficient.
I strongly recommend Tanzania Wildlife Adventures to anyone who wants to go for a safari in Tanzania.

Highly recommend
Our daughter, 1.5years old , came with us in this amazing adventure. She had so much fun with the giraffes, elephants, zebras, the lions, etc... everything was very safe, including the optional boat ride for seeing hippos.
Our adventure had many highlights, but one of them was definitely our guide . Mr Jeoffrey was super kind with our baby and with our needs. We have stopped to get diapers almond the way and we were also given family accomodation in all Locations. There was always enough of sleep and enough of adventure.
We definitely recommend this tour. For us with a little child 6 days of adventure are enough. In addition to this experience, we have also spent 1 day in Nairobi (national park, giraffes, baby elephants) and additional 5 days in Mombasa. The train connection was very easy and comfortable.
Overall the the habitants of Kenya are some of the most friendly people out there.
Definitely a must in the journey for discovering Africa!

Can't Be Reliable & Responsive More!
I contact Morning star via wechat from China. They are the only one can provide instant response to Chinese without what's app. Email is not efficient to deal with all complicated requirements and intime cases. They did pretty well.
Throughout the whole trip, I didn't even check the hotel condition before departure. Eveything they arranged just meet my expectation and requirment so well. The fact proves that their recommendations are worthwhile to take. I myself recommend one additional spot (I take it from social media), which is the worst of the whole trip, hah.
I have refered to my friends around. If you want mid-to-high level trip in Kenya, I would recommend them to your preferred list.
