Day trip to Mikumi was great!
After paying the initial deposit online e, we were asked to meet with them the day before to talk about logistics and pay the rest of the money that we owed. This was useful because then they knew where to pick us up in the morning. We were met at the scheduled time and had no mishaps all day during the trip. We saw wildebeests, water buffalo, elephants, zebra, impala, giraffe, crocodiles, hippos and baboons. Lunch was good and included in the trip fee. We were also given a case of water and plenty of snacks. It was a very long day and worth it if you're only in Tanzania for a short time. Otherwise we would recommend doing a multiple day trip through Hello Tanzania. This tour guide service was great!

Beyond the expectations
Regarding the price was lower, i prepared myself to have poor standards. But I was wrong, We did a full 4 days of Safari, the places that we stayed amazing view and service. Camping with hot water, some places has Wi-fi. Our chef and the guide was nice. We met with some people they paid more than us to another company for the same plan. Even, our tour was included the airport transfer which is strongly recommended in Tanzania! Roads are bad and airport taxi is expensive.
You can reach Seth by e-mail or phone during your trip, they will solve any issues.
We didn't know the amount that we should tip the guide and chef. That could have been advised us before. We decided to pay daily 10 usd per person.
I have searched many organizers, trust me this is the best with a budget plan.

Honeymoon Safari in Maasai Mara
We have no words. Having been convinced by Maggie to book the flying package to Governors camp for our honeymoon , we cant regret at all. This was the best decision instead of taking the road safari . We truly got a honeymoon status and the surprise in our room from Bison Safaris - amazing indeed . We also had a superb game viewing drive and truly it has been a memorable one for us and will always be. To team Bison -you out did yourselves and thanks so much .

5 day safari Lake Manyara Serengeti Ngorongoro Crater.
Booked safari from USA. paid 50% for deposit so I didn't have to carry as much cash to pay balance. The deposit was a knowledged as soon as it was received. I dealt with Andrew who responded immediately and was easy to work with. He also is just a great guy to deal with and talk to. They also took care of hotel arrangements and airport transport. The safari was exceptional with a great guide who was knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was great to be with. The food was very good and the soup each night was exceptional. I had no problems at all. There were 3 of us on safari and everything was cool.

Professional and reliable tour operator in Uganda - highly recommended!
I went to a gorilla trekking tour in Uganda in mid Dec 2016 with three friends. Prior to our trip we looked up infos on internet and contacted five different tour operators in Uganda. Among them Encounter Afirca Safaris was the most efficient and professional. They did not only respond our enquiry immediately but also suggested us a tailor-made itinerary, which includes the main activities/places we are interested.
Besides, they are honest with their price. They gave us the clear breakdown of each parts of the travel cost and allowed us to choose which option (budget, mid-range, luxury) according to our budget.
During the preparation period they provided us sufficient info for visa, vaccination, activities on spot and packing. So we were fully prepared for our trip.
Upon arrival we were greeted by Chris (the organiser) and our English-speaking guide/driver Joseph. Both of them were very friendly and kind so that we felt comfortable with Uganda right away.
During our 10-day trip, we have not only experienced the most amazing and loving gorillas (I consider thie encounter as one of the most moving experience in my life), but also seen the rarely-spotted tree-climbing lions 3 times!
Accommodation condition could be tough in Uganda compared to Kenya. Despite we also experienced incidents such as black-out, lack of hot shower etc. Thanks to Encounter Africa Safaris' prompt reaction and efficient arrangement, all the unforeseen and unpleasant situations were solved right away. At the end we came back home safe with lot of sweat memory.
Therefore, I and my friends would like to recommend this professional and reliable tour operator to all people who are interested in gorilla trekking and tree-climbing lions (only in Uganda!). For me the tour in Uganda was definitely worthy and unforgettable. If you are an animal-lover, it is a MUST destination, and you won't regret it!

2017 Mikumi Safari
Communication prior to booking, during and after Safari was beyond expectation. The driver/tour guide worked hard to give us an unforgettable experience. Timing was awesome because we experienced seeing the 3 of the big five specially simba.
We will absolutely recommend Kanuth Adventure Safaris to our friends and will not think twice to book again with this company on our next visit to Tanzania.
Great job.

They are the reason why you should always choose a local tour opeartor!!
Extremely well organized and informed.
We were two couples from England and had taken plenty of advice already, much of which Safari Lifestyles agreed with and some not agreed with. What they did was to get the "on the ground" details just right... they obviously know all the areas very well and were able to pass on their feelings to us fluently.
I think being on location really does mean they are the most experienced in providing you with simply the best safari. Our lodge experiences were simply spot on.
Seriously good show.
