Once in a life time trip
We had a fantastic trip organized by Marurumi Safaris. They were on top of everything from start to finish. All e-mails were answered promptly and when we found out that the prices at Masai Mara had changed dramatically they came up with a wonderful alternative. We had a very experienced guide/ driver who drove us savely to all our destinations. Our hotels were more then fantastic and everything very very well taken care of by James and his team. Many many many thanks.

An unforgettable experience
We chose to do a short three-day excursion in Tanzania.
We left from Zanzibar where a private driver picked us up at our hotel, and then we took a flight to Arusha. There, we joined our safari Jeep before starting the excursion. The vehicle is exceptional, it is spacious and well-equipped. In total, there were 7 of us in the vehicle and each had a window seat.
The first day, we visited Tarangire Park. We saw lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes... In the evening, we slept in a tent and the next day, we went to the Ngorongoro Crater where we saw, in addition to the same animals from the day before, monkeys, flamingos, hippos and rhinoceroses without forgetting the buffaloes.
Finally, we went on the third day to the foot of Kilimanjaro to hike to a waterfall, and then we joined a local village where we learned how to make coffee.
To sum up, these three days were the best experience we have ever had, the guides were exceptional. All the meals we ate were hot and local, which was not the case for other tourists in the parks.
We can only recommend you to go through safari Tour Africa if you want to live an incredible experience

Very customer focussed and driven to give you the best possible experience!
We got Shemeji Safari recommended via a friend and they didn’t let us down. The accommodations were great and created a real (luxury) safari experience and having a jeep and driver for your family alone really helped to be able to tailor every gamedrive to a personalised journey. This really made this safari an unique experience for my wife and our two kids and we highly recommend this organization when you’re looking for someone to the best out of your holidays in Tanzania.

This was a super tour with Kensai safaris, beautifully crafted, taking us through the long history of the Masai Mara National Reserve and travelling from the savannah grasslands spotting the animals to the West greener part. The accommodation was wonderful and the food experiences truly memorable.

Safari Tour, the best experience of our lives!
It was a very memorable experience on my first safari in Tanzania.
Our total trip was 7D6N, on the first night we stayed in Arusha and the 2nd night until we finished our full safari tour.
Kilimanjaro Aventures Safari, was amazing. From the beginning of the booking until we checked out, the service was very impressive.
Mary, the reservation team was very complete in explaining the tour planning to us. Our driver and guide Gerson, he was amazing! very clear and complete communication when giving information and setting the right time so we could enjoy all the moments.
The accommodation was also amazing, I am speechless because it was too good. We also received birthday and anniversary surprises from the hotel, the staff and service were very friendly. It was a detail that the hotel and Kilimanjaro Safari did not miss.
We were able to get the first moments of the Migration, and it amazed me and my husband to no end.
Thank you Kilimanjaro, you made this an unforgettable experience in our lives!! I highly recommend this tour, their service was beyond expectations!

Terrible Experience with 3 Wonders - Avoid at All Costs!
Our trip with 3 Wonders was a complete disaster from start to finish. Here are the main issues we encountered:
Serengeti Entry Delay: We faced a frustrating 2-hour delay at the Serengeti entry due to incomplete paperwork, causing us to miss our evening game drive. This is there typical reason because they don’t pay the park fees and somehow expect to get around it. In some reviews, travelers have paid parks which is their strategy .
Accommodation Downgrade: Upon arrival at the camp around 8 pm, we found that our booking at the Serengeti Heritage Lodge had been downgraded to Engiterata Camp, a very basic camp, without any prior notification. Being stuck in the forest with no other options made this situation completely unacceptable.
Grouped with Campers: We were grouped with campers, wasting our time waiting for their activities, which was not what we had signed up for.
Wasted Time in Serengeti: The next day, we were dropped at the campsite around 11 am for an early lunch, only for the driver to leave and return after 2.5 hours, wasting our time and ruining our experience.
Limited Game Drives: We had no game drive on the first day and only a short one on the morning of the second day, which was a huge letdown.
Terrible Safari Vehicle: The safari vehicle was in terrible condition, constantly breaking down and needing to be pushed by other vehicles.
Broken Passenger Door: The passenger door of the jeep was broken, creating a serious safety hazard.
Rude Driver: The driver was extremely rude, lacked information, and appeared upset with us for no reason, which was very frustrating.
Broken Radio: The jeep's radio was broken, preventing the driver from communicating with others to locate animals, making the safari pointless.
Missed Excursions: Our itinerary included excursions like the Olduvai Gorge museum, but there was no plan for these, which was incredibly disappointing.
Fuel Tank Hazard: The fuel tank in the jeep was broken, which was very dangerous. Despite this, the driver continued to drive the same jeep for three hours. It was late evening and dark, and we were in the deep jungle where wild animals roam. Anything could have happened to us, and the rescue jeep arrived very late.
Actually no one now books with 3 wonders because of bad reviews but in some cases your safari company might sell your booking to 3wonders. If your safari company assigns you to 3 Wonders, please don't go with them because you will either die or, at the very least, not enjoy the game drive because there will be none done. Save yourself and ask your safari company who they are going to sell your booking to because that is what they do.

Great Safari
We had a great time in Murchison Falls Nationalpark and a well organized tour by Manya. The guide was very experienced so we got to see even shy animals like a lioness and her cubs and leopards.
