Brilliant from start to finish, great communication and very professional.
From initial enquiry to end of safari, we have been so impressed with Serengeti Smile. Fantastic communication by Baraka in the office, with immediate responses to all our requests. Our flight was delayed and we arrived 14 hours later than planned, but nothing was too much trouble. Libe, our safari guide has given us an amazing safari through Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti and back to Ngorogoro Crater. We saw everything we hoped for and more, again, nothing too much trouble, brilliant driver, it has been like travelling with a friend. What a brilliant trip. Thank you so much!

EPIC adventure with great people:)
There is a plenty of Safari organising companies in Tanzania. Some are big, some are small, some are local some are not. As I'm a travel planner control freak I have contacted around 30 to make sure I chose well. As one of only few Relish of Africa have read my proposed plan, they did not come back with an alternative, they have also understood our budget and helped with finding the best accommodation possible still within it. They were also very responsive, I was getting a reply to even the smallest question withing a couple of hours. They cater with no problem for our dietary requirement (two of us were vegan), and also helped out with renting last minute a proper camera with serious lens.
Yes they are small company but that's why they listen to you, they go that extra mile to make the safari as memorable as its possible. By going with them, you are truly supporting local people, their family and community, not a company which runs from Amsterdam or Berlin.
We (4 people) went on 6 days/5 nights safari trough Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron. and it was EPIC!! We were accompanied by the guide Emmanuel "the eagle eye" and chef Pascal "the dancer", both men of many talents:) Their knowledge, the skills, the wit and the humour made this trip simply perfect. this is the easiest recommendation we all have ever made. We could not have been in better hands on our first ever African adventure and we will be back in the future for another safari in a different season:)
Emanuel, Pascal, Andrew and Richard - Asante sana guys and all the best to you:)

Dream Safari
Our trip was amazing! Edwin was the best driver guide we could have ever imagined! He was so warm and friendly, so knowledgeable and patient will all of our questions, every detail was handled for us and we felt so well taken care of. His driving and navigation skills were top notch. Words fail me to describe what a terrific time we had. It was a dream trip in every way and we will all remember it and Edwin forever.

The best Safari tour with the most caring guides
Karoline, 25, Denmark.
I would really like to recommend Panthera Safari to anyone who visits Uganda. Truly!
Thank you so much to the Panthera team and especially Violet and Johnson for an amazing experience - for showing us the beautiful pearl of Africa that Uganda is.
My boyfriend and I went with a good friend of mine’s family on safari in Queen Elisabeth, to Mount Sabyinyo for a hike and to Lake Bonyonyi for a swim. It was a 5 days trip from Fort Portal. The southwestern Uganda has so, so much to offer - the beautiful landscapes that differs from place to place, the kind and welcoming people and a magical feeling all together.
When Violet makes a tour - everything is really thought through and well organized. She has a good sense of details and studies the areas we visit so that we get the best experience. Johnson and Violet are both so friendly, clever and caring people. On the tour we felt so secure and cared for. They tell us about Uganda, stories from near and there and the laughs are plentiful!
If you are feeling sick or having a bad day on the tour, Violet and her brother Johnson will help you the best they can, which is nice when you go to a country you don’t know that well. So you really feel at home when you go with Panthera.
You can also customize your tour to your needs. Please tell Violet to make it so that it fits your temper and interests.
We stayed at some beautiful lodges - especially Bush Lodge at Queen Elisabeth is a really magical experience I wish for anyone visiting Uganda.
Violet and Johnson cares about the environment, the communities we visit and nature. So if you are looking for a eco-friendly tour - please choose Panthera.
Thank you so much for the experience - one that I will never forget. Until next time
Best wishes,
Karoline🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great, accurate and well done!
The tour is organized down to the smallest Details. The nights in the tent are really wild but safe and supervised. The guides are always smiling and available to answer to all your curiosities about the animals. We were with Simon and he was always very nice to us. The chef, Matthew, pampered us at every meal with local foods, carefully prepared and truly delicious. If you have luggage to leave in their offices there are no problems, they will organize it and then have it returned to you in the place where it is most convenient for you. Kelvin, another Safari guide, who accompanied us to the airport, is another kind person you need to meet.
Suggestions: bring towels to wash yourself with (the showers in the camping sites are always very cold), bring a soft bag to put things in just for those days. Keep something warm with you (jumpers, waterproof jacket and sweatshirt) for the days in Ngorongoro. The nights there are cold. If you like, take with you your personal sleeping bag. Otherwise, the Organisation will give you one.
Sharpen your eyes and enjoy this immersion in the wild but beautiful life of the savannah!!!

Great organization, knowledgeable and fun guides
Still in the middle of my holidays, MoAfrica is doing a great Job on all ends.
Perfect communication when booking, timely pickups for transportation and tours as well having knowledgeable guides.
Especially the Full Day Kruger Tour was a highlight: Lambs was an outstanding and entertaining guide, bringing us the wildlife much closer!

Enriching experience made possible by our outstanding guides!
Our trip to Tarangire, Serengeti, Arusha, Moshi, and points inbetween was so well curated that we felt like royalty! Our group of 9 adults didn't have to worry about a thing over 10 days of travel to 6 different lodging locations! Our guides Kakasii and Momo were so knowledgeable about the animals' habits, traditional Maasai life, and how to navigate the crazy roads that we just had to show up on time, ask questions, and be ready to eat! Once we observed some of the other safari trucks out in the bush we realized just how engaging and skilled our guides were. I believe that each one of us formed bonds that we will never forget! You may only get to safari in Africa once in a lifetime and Tanzania Choice Safari will make sure that trip is as smooth and enchanting as you could hope for!

Amazing safari experience
We booked the 5days/4 nights safari tour with African Big Cats Safaris and I can only recommend this company. The choice, quality and level of service of each accommodation were above and beyond my expectations. We were lucky to be guided by Elias who took us to the best spots while making sure we were safe at all times. The importance of having an experienced and professional guide for this type of adventure cannot be stressed enough, and ours did not come short. Strongly recommend

Unforegettable Experience with Safari Soles -Once in a lifetime!
Our recent tour in Tanzania with Safari Soles was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized. Before our four-day Safari, we had a fantastic one-day hike to the Materuni Waterfalla and explored the hot springs in Moshi, which set the tone for our adventure. During our four-day Safari, we were treated to delicious hot meals, and of course, drinks were always prepared. All the accommodations we stayed were special, featuring local elements and were very comfortable, making our stay more enjoyable.
A special shoutout to our amazing guides, Frank who guided us to the hiking tour on the second day, and Chris who was the best Safari guide! Chris always went beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, spotting wildlife and sharing interesting things and the animals and their habitats.
