My Family Loves These Guys!
My daughter began checking off her bucket list at age 20 – a practice everyone should follow. And a photo Safari in Tanzania should be a definite!!! In our nine days, my family and I visited reserves including the woodland and savannahs of Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, the endless plains of Serengeti, waterfalls in Lake Natron and towns in the Arusha Region. We saw over 50 animals including the big five - Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Buffalo and the endangered Rhino – plus every character in the Lion King movie.
As to our Safari service, Kiboko Explorer was highly recommended, and they surpassed every expectation – creating the plan, keeping us on schedule and even got us hospital care for my son who had a reaction to the Malaria medicine. Because of Kiboko, what few challenges we had were easily overcome. Our guide was patient, an excellent communicator and highly capable at providing risk-free, up close wildlife observation (which was an accomplishment considering who he was guiding). I would highly recommend them as your service for this very important lifetime experience.

Well organized and friendly service
I am overall happy with the service by Lenchada. Quick response on the emails, friendly service, good organization, I can list many things.
I selected an economic 6 day tour, which I think the difference is basically the accommodation. Though things are not prefer as in 4 or 5 star hotels, the friendly and hospital service at Masai Mara/Amboseli camp accommodation exceeded my expectations.
I am also happy that the driver made all his effort to guid us through and I am happy that I was able to see all big 5 and spectacular view of Kilimanjaro. I surely recommend this tour when I return back.

very quick response and professional
It was a very unforgettable experience in Tanzania safari tour. We had an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide to accompany us for the entire tour to brought us so many memorable moment for the safari environment and the journey. The trip is very safe and very well arranged. The overall cost is quite reasonable. Definitely we will refer them for others if they would like to experience the safari in Tanzania.

Very bad experience!
We do not feel like recommending this operator: our experience was very bad. Starting with the stay at the Venice Hotel which is an old and dirty facility to continue with a general organization that was completely inefficient and inadequate for the amount spent. The manager pocketed the money and then subcontracted us to another agency without ever providing us with a detailed program with schedules and practical information. Our package included a night inside Ngorongoro Park, a very expensive choice and made to take advantage of the game drive from very early in the morning so we could spot predators. The agency assigned us to a group leaving from Arusha and we had to wait for 4 hours until late 10 a.m., thus sacrificing our safari day. The second night we were changed the lodge from the prearranged schedule without even a warning. Experience not to be repeated.

very considerate and responsive, patient
During the magnificent journey in Tanzania, Kelvin added endless beauty to our trip with his professionalism and enthusiasm. He knew the route well, his driving skills were skillful, and the vehicle was always stable, making our journey extremely comfortable.
He always cared about the needs of each of us and ensured our safety and comfort during the journey. The leader Kelvin was a star in our Safari trip. His professionalism and enthusiasm made the whole trip more memorable. Thank you for his hard work and made our Safari trip so wonderful. Sincerely wish him and his daughter good health and all the best!
Because of Kelvin, we have more beautiful memories. During the journey, we not only saw the beauty of the world, but also the beauty of human nature.
I am very happy to have a new partner and look forward to meeting you again!
I am also very grateful to the travel agency for its meticulous arrangements, which made everything happen like a movie!

Meru Slopes is a great choice
We joined tour "5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai" starting from July 26, 2024. This tour was offered by MERU SLOPES TOURS AND SAFARIS. We were very much satisfied with the entire tour, literally from the very beginning to the very end. The entire program was faithfully executed as described in TripAdvisor and other online platforms. On Day 1, we were picked up from our hotel in Arusha, and then had a good breakfast at the Meru Slopes arranged Arusha Tourist Inn restaurant. On Day 5, we slept at the same very nice Arusha Tourist Inn hotel. When we asked how to get to the shuttle bus to Nairobi next day after Day 5, Meru Slopes manager Geofrey immediately arranged taxi with no charge on us. That was clearly outside their normal program scope. They just always try to make guests easy and happy on everything. During 5 days of safaris, our guide/driver Rashid actively encouraged everybody in the car to form a family and help each other to achieve the common goal: to spot as many animals along the way as possible. He himself was certainly highly skillful in spotting animals and driving to the best positions to view them. We were able to see exciting wildebeests migrating (although not seen crossing Mara River), leopard hidden on top of tree, lions, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, various antelopes, birds, many elephants, zebras, girrafs, warthogs, hyenas etc. The tour facilitated a binocular and a local animal textbook. These plus our guide/driver Rashid's timely explanation, made us learn a lot while enjoying dream-like view of wild animals. He emphasized over and over again "If you respect Nature, Nature will respect you", which was so fundamentally true. Our chef Booga, prepared every meal for us, which was always so warm, healthy and delicious. The camping contitions were much better than what we expected. Basic water, washroom, shower, electricity were adequate enough, although some glitchs like power outages did happen. All in all, we highly recommend this tour for anyone who has a dream of doing a safari in Africa. It was so interesting, enjoyable and rewarding. Our choice of Meru Slopes is a great one.

Well worthy tour with Lenchada Safaris
We joined tour "6-Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Safari on Landcruiser" starting from August 2, 2024. This tour was offered by Lenchada Safaris. We were very much satisfied with the entire tour, literally from the very beginning to the very end. The entire program was faithfully executed as described in TripAdvisor and other online platforms. On Day 1, we were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi. On Day 6, we were kindly dropped at Nairobi Airport so that we could continue our journey easily. During 6 days of safaris, our guide/driver John was certainly highly skillful in spotting animals and driving to the best positions to view them. We were able to see exciting wildebeests migrating (although not seen crossing Mara River), rhinos, lions, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, various antelopes, birds (like elegant flamingos) , many elephants, zebras, girrafs, warthogs, hyenas etc. Our fantastic, breathtaking view of Kilimanjaro mountain with stretch of grass plain plus peaceful elephants, will remain in our mind for a long time. The lodging and food contitions were much better than what we expected. Basic water, washroom, shower, electricity were adequate without any glitche. So called tent was actually like a spacious single house with private bathroom. All in all, we highly recommend this tour for anyone who has a dream of doing a safari in Africa. It was so interesting, enjoyable and rewarding. Our choice of Lenchada Safaris is a great one.

One of a kind
This is my third time traveling with Viatu, this time with a friend to Kwandwe in the Eastern Cape. They are the sweetest and most helpful guys I've ever been in touch with always giving me the the best possible experience while traveling. I really enjoy the proactive communication and concierge services. If anything happens you ca always reach out! Kwandwe can also only wholeheartedly be recommended. It's amazing value for money and for me ranks higher by its genuine passion for what they do compared to the places I've been in Sabi Sands for example.
