A lifetime of memories for this family
We just returned from a six-day safari with Eddy from Amshar Serengeti Adventures. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara Parks, in that order. We were traveling as a couple with three young children (10, 7, and 5). The whole experience was very special from start to finish. Eddy, our fearless leader, was highly informative, organized, responsive, and highly tolerant of our boisterous band of adventurers. His style was reserved and respectful- which gave our family the space we needed- yet he was always happy to answer questions and discuss matters large and small. Eddy worked very hard to provide a good experience in terms of wildlife viewing and as a result, we were able to fill our days with stunning encounters both expected and unexpected, including hard to find animals such as leopards, rhinos, and cheetahs. There was necessarily a lot of driving, but the variation in vegetation and the stunning landscapes that the itinerary affords helped make this manageable, even for young children.
Our family really enjoyed the accommodation chosen for us by Amshar: our only regret was not being able to spend more time at each unique guesthouse. At our (solar powered!) camp in the Serengeti, we fell asleep to the sounds of a family of lions frolicking around our tent. The food offered by each establishment was simply delicious.
The wonderful safari experience aside, we would also highly recommend Amshar for the “front office” experience. We found Edward, who coordinated our booking, to be extremely responsive and professional as we ironed out the logistics of our trip.
Thank you to both Edward and Eddy for the lifetime’s worth of memories you’ve shared with our family.

Great Operator - Fantastic Driver-Guide
We found Benson Safari very reliable. Communication with Peris was fast and efficient. She easily accommodated the needs for our trip.
Everything went perfect in our week long Safari, from finding our driver guide Zablon at Kili airport to drop off a week later at Kokatende airstrip.
Our itinerary was Tarangire, Ngorogoro, central serengeti and north serengeti.
Benson set us up in lovely lodges, with special mention to Kubu Kubu in Central Serengeti. The view is incredible, and the rooms luxurious. Serena Manyara was in a good location but a bit outdated. Mara under canvas is the definition of Glamping. Beautiful grounds and very comfortable tents, with hot bucket shower! Service was impeccable everywhere.
Zablon was fantastic as our driver guide. Patient, knowledgeable and always in good mood, always making sure to get the best viewing spots. We spotted the big 5 and much more. The migration crossing at the Mara river is something indescribable.
My wife celebrated her birthday during our trip, and Benson arranged for a surprise ar the Mara Under Canvas lodge. That was very special!
Hakuna matata!

Wonderful experience with NightDriveSafaris!
NightDriveSafari tours are the best! Thanks to NightDriveSafaris and my guide, Renier, who organised everything for me including accommodation, my daily activities, itinerary, night drives, guided game drives, 4x4 drives and my personal highlight the cheetah tracking on foot. Solo traveller in November 2023. Highly recommended for solo travellers looking for a professional guided tour in South Africa. Our guide also managed to spot the lions while we were on the 4x4 route in the Karoo. We stayed in comfortable accommodation with everything you need. Beautiful views at Nyathi Rest Camp and a wonderful experience and tour overall. Excellent value for money, great communication. I have never seen so many elephants at one waterhole!

3 days Masai Mara an experience to remember
We went for a three day safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara. The food and the camp was really good. We had a lovely time with our guide Brian. The game drives exceeded our expectations, it is an adventure to remember.
We did have a misunderstanding regarding the costs, but after we managed to clarify it, we had a great time.

Amazing service and guide
I am so impressed with Ramja safaris! The communication from the beginning was helpful and responsive. My guide Wycliff was absolutely perfect! He was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny and he kept me entertained and safe the whole time and went above and beyond to make
sure I got what I wanted out of the trip. Everything went smoothly and the lodges and food were amazing. I cannot recommend them enough and will be sending my friends and family here for years to come!

Amazing
Our experience of safari is unforgettable. Our guide Andrew told us many interesting facts about the animals and the region itself. He always got us to the best place to see the animals. If i went again i would choose the same company and ask for Andrew. We had lots of fun

The safari of a lifetime
We went on a 11 day Kenya and Tanzania safari. The accommodations were clean and nice but I wouldn’t call them luxury. The food was very good and no one in our group got any stomach issues. The safari vehicles on our first leg in Kenya were old and worn but the ones we used in Tanzania and the last part in Kenya were better. The guides were good at finding the best places to view wildlife but they were all very quiet and it was hard to get any information out of them on where we were going and what we were looking for. We saw an amazing amount of wildlife and even saw the wildebeest crossing the Mara river!
The one thing that we didn’t realize beforehand was that it would take so long to drive anywhere and how bumpy all the roads were. It was well worth it though and I would definitely recommend Wildebeest safaris.

Excellent safari, great people, and awesome experience.
Incredible experience with Safari Goats. They did their best to help create a custom plan for us as we wanted to remain active and hike throughput our trip; the walking safari’s were incredible and our favorite part. When things weren’t as we expected, Safari Goats was helpful and flexible to make our itinerary and trip better and closer to what we envisioned. We are thankful they helped create a once in a lifetime experience for us and the value in relation to the costs was incredible.
My wife and I were very excited to find that we were a solo safari, and not grouped with other people. This was awesome because we had more flexibility and space in the truck which allowed us to move around and get the best angles to view animals and to stretch out and relax on the long rides. This also allowed us to do feel like we were on an adventure rather than just being a tourist.
The accommodations and food were good, and varied from excellent hotels to tent camps (glamping) and overall provided a good mixture of comfort and adventure. Overall I felt like we experienced a great version Tanzania and Africa, and would recommend Safari Goat’s to anyone not looking for the standard tourist experience.
