Fantastic
Everything worked seamlessly. Our guide Johnson and Paul were incredibly knowledgeable. Often times we would see other guides move on from a possible sighting, but Johson and Paul would preach patience, and every single time it paid off in a huge way. 8 lion cubs playing. 40 elephants slinging mud. A leopard with her cub.
The lodges they put us in were all super comfortable.
I fully trust this company and will reach out to them first for future Tanzania trips.

Reliable, responsive, overall superb tour operator
Ruphina (planner/organiser)'s response to our questions were timely. She had a very good grasp of our concern and problem and arranged the trip accordingly. When there was change, she informed us well ahead. The accommodations were nice as well. (I would suggest to add some description on the rating of luxury for those not familiar with the Nairobi hotel system).
Peter, our driver/guide, arrived on time everyday and accommodated our requests on animal viewing and time schedule. He is also very knowledgeable on the animals and well connected with the local communities to find the animals.
Overall it was an excellent experience. I recommend Kenya Tulia Safari Holiday Arcade to my friends. One suggestion, I would offer alternative flights to substitute for the long drive between Nakuru to Amboseli to Nairobi.

Almighty Kilimanjaro are a fantastic, supportive and professional tour company.
We had a great time climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guides and porters were fantastic, so supportive and helpful. Our chef made us three hot meals a day, fueling us for the climb. The tent provided was good and our kit moved from camp to camp by a lovely group of porters.
I highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro as a tour company. We wouldn't have made it to the summit without them.

Porcupine Expeditions takes care of you.
We had a wonderful 3-day experience organized by Anna, including Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and a fascinating day touring Mto Wa Mbu. From the moment we landed being picked up at the airport, to leaving the country, Anna and her daughter ensured that we got everything we needed and more. I even broke my phone on our trip, and Anna and her daughter called around to different repair people who could offer the best price and fly in a part from Dar Essalam to Arusha, then took me to the store to get it fixed! We were overwhelmed by their hospitality, making us feel welcome and comfortable in Tanzania. We will never forget our time in Tanzania mainland and will always be grateful for the great time we had there thanks to Porcupine Expeditions 🙏

Deo was a wonderful guide - very accommodating and fun to hang out with.
Deo (our guide) was very informative, easy to talk to, and upfront about what things would cost when we wanted to add an item (the olduvai gorge) to our itinerary.

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.
