Very professional, excellent value for money.
All the arrangements went very smoothly. We have exchanged emails and always got quick and clear response. Winnie from Kihindo was very helpful, even outside the scope of our arrangement (eg helped us book a hotel in Mang’ula after the safari). I think it is very good value for money. For instance in Nyerere NP we stayed at Mloka Village lodge suggested by Winnie and it turned out a really nice place within the budget range. Kihindo is very reliable and efficient. As to the tour: we chose Nyerere and Mikumi and we really liked the first one, even though it is covered by bush and animals are less exposed than on a savanna. But you are not in a motorcade of safari vehicles and can enjoy the park in peace. The bushwalk in Nyerere (organized by the park) is focused on tribal medicine and customs whereas I would prefer it to be centered around wildlife observation. The boat trip on Rufiji river is great. In Mikumi (which was our specific request) it’s more easy to spot animals but I had the impression that there is a growing tourism pressure on the park (including expansion of the airstrip). If I were to choose between the two, I would opt for Nyerere. Anyway, the remarks on Mikumi do not relate to Kihindo services which I rate very high and excellent value for money.

A really great tour that varied in activities
Cosmos ( Renamed Bubba for the duration of the tour) was our tour guide and he did know his stuff. He was informative and funny, He lugged our bags. Organised tours and was just exceptional in all he did. The van was too small for our group so he organised a trailer for the luggage on his day off. He drove really well and spotted animals way before any of us. The van could do with replacing as its getting older and had a couple of issues which Cosmos fixed. The seats were very comfortable though.
The tour was good because it wasn't all open jeep. There were walks, morokos and boats with great food and drinks supplied. We upgraded the hotels and found them to be lovely. Sleeping under the stars was great, even got a hot water bottle to use. Food was good throughout the tour although sometimes it was cold. Spotted lots of animal and completed the big 5 minus the rhino.
There were no hiccups with the accommodation which was good.
Didn't think much of the Boma dinner and wouldn't recommend wasting a night there. Far too crowded. No view of the festivities.
All in all the tour was good value and varied.

Knowledgeable, friendly, kind, fun, capable, experienced, dedicated and professional.
We were picked up at the airport, our accommodations were comfortable and our food was good. The operator, hosts, guides and drivers couldn't do enough to make sure we had a great trip. The safari was like stepping into a David Attenborough film. We saw loads of wild animals so close we took the zoom lens off the camera. You could almost touch them.
Triple icing on the adventure of a lifetime were visiting Kilimanjaro Orphanage Centre, the side excursion to an Animal Sanctuary (where you could touch the animals) and the visit to the Chaga caves.
Special thanks to Edward and his amazing team for hosting a perfect African experience for us.

Amazing Serengeti Safari with Relish of Africa
Relish of Africa is an amazing tour company. From first contact, to planning our trip, and arrival in Tanzania, the service provided was top class. Andrew, who was our tour operator/ planner was very responsive to all of our requests. He was thorough in the itinerary preparation and recommendations. He also picked us up from the airport on our day of arrival and took us back to the airport on our day of departure (at 5:00 am and was an hour drive from the hotel to Kilimanjaro airport).
My wife and I did the luxury tour to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. We also did a cultural experience to a Masai Village. The value was worth the amount we paid. I found Relish of Africa to be very reliable and trustworthy. Reggie, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and went beyond of expectations to ensure we saw all of the animals we were interested in seeing including the Big 5. We saw 4 of the 5 Big 5 animals. We did not see a leopard but we saw some cheetahs which was amazing, so my expectations were exceeded.
We had had lunches eat day with a basket full of fresh local fruit, unlimited water and wine and beer.
The hotels we stayed at were Melia in Arusha, Four Seasons in Serengeti, Melia in Ngorongoro, and Kibo Palace on our last night before departure. All were top class with excellent location and service.
I highly recommend Relish of Africa if you are planning a Safari in Tanzania.

Whatever you do BOOK THIS TRIP! The most magical experience with the best guide !
Where to begin !!! Jackson and Geoffrey went above and beyond in making this trip one that we will never forget. We traveled as a family of 4 and were already impressed a year ahead with the clear communication and planning of the trip.
We arrived in Uganda with a few hiccups as one of us had issues with their visa and Jackson and Geoffrey went above and beyond in helping us revolve the issue - even picking up one of us a day after and driving over night to ensure the 4 of us would start the safari together on the 2nd day.
From the food to the accommodation to the safari to the gorilla Trecking I truly can’t fault this company. We saw every animal we wanted even lions and leopards and of course the beautiful gorillas.
I know there are hundreds of other tour operators but what makes this so much more special is that with Geoffrey, our guide, we felt 100% safe and truly think he is a genuinely not just EXCELLENT driver ( who knows even the narrowest roads like the back of his hand) but amazing person with so much knowledge of Uganda and someone that brought great laughter and friendship to our trip.
If we are ever lucky enough to go back I will a million % choose Primate World Safari again. We stayed in Kampala an extra day separate from the tour and Jackson even picked us up on our final day to drive us to the airport free or charge to make sure we got there safe.
This company and tour was truly amazing 100% worth it and exceeded our expectations. We feel truly lucky to have met and learnt from Geoffrey. THANK YOU !!

Brilliant, Lambs was a great guide, a true expert about the park and animals, very friendly
Overall the tour was well run and a great time. Accommodation was perfect and the guides had a very deep knowledge, plus we had a comprehensive look at Kruger and a private reserve. I would do at least a four day tour to have enough time for both the Kruger drive and the panorama drive.

Really nice experience
We had a really great time on our safari day at the Krüger Nationalpark. We saw so many Animation, especially the lion looking at us and then the elephants drinking and taking a bath was amazing. The guide told us many facts! We would definitly recommend it

Fun
I really enjoyed my time on the Safari. We booked a 5-days tour and saw the big 5 and many other animals. Don't expect certain animals - it's always a game ;) I also really liked the Panorama Tour as I am more of a landscape person. The Sekekama Camp is really lovely and Megan and the team looked after us very well. The Game Drives to Krüger with Evance and Lambs were also fun and in the private Vyani reserve we managed to see already many animals. Definitely would recommend :)
