Best vacation ever- thanks to planet africa planning
It was a real pleasure planning this trip, together with Leah from Planet Africa: so efficient, so knowledgable, great communication with always prompt replies to whatever questions I had! Very nice friendly, professional guides over there and awesome camps and lodges…- the perfect experience altogether!!

A very well planned and priced trip that exceeded my expectations!
I live in Tanzania, and after struggling to plan my own trip to Gombe Stream NP, I decided to use Nature Bound Africa, which has an excellent reputation locally. I found them to be very prompt in responding to my request, and very thorough in determining my needs.
Everything was well-planned and I saved time and money compared to what I would have paid as an independent traveler. Their local knowledge is excellent and I felt as if I was in very good hands. I had an amazing visit to Gombe and a great time chimp-trekking. (You can see my review of Gombe Stream National Park on TripAdvisor).
I highly recommend using this company for travel in Tanzania and East Africa. Thanks for a great trip Nature Bound Africa. I now have them planning a group tour for some friends to Ngorongoro and Serengeti!

Exceeded expectations
I was very impressed with the service I received from Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. Mr Otieno responded to all my queries promptly and the price we were given was very reasonable and competitive. Patrick was our guide and driver and he was extremely good at spotting wildlife and was very accommodating of our needs. All the accommodation was great. I would definitely book with KWSS again based on my experience.

Yes, we had a fantastic safari
Yes, we had a fantastic safari in general and here in below is our evaluation;
THE DRIVER:
The driver was extremely bright and knowledgeable not only about the animals and their habits, but about Tanzanian culture, history, politics, e.t.c as well. He was very generous in sharing his information, kept a running commentary throughout the day. I don’t think there was a single question he couldn’t answer. Very personable as well and a lot of fun! Very good eye for spotting animals too.
VEHICLES:
Vehicles were fantastic for viewing because with top up, vehicles allowed for a breeze and were very comfortable.
THE COOK:
We had a fantastic chef – Every meal was fantastic, good variety and we ate much better (and more) food on safari than we do at home.

It was our fantastic safari, i reccommend this company to all who want to do safari..
My wife and I have just had the most fantastic safari anyone could wish for. We did the six days safari joining a group while staying in tented camps (middle range), Lake Manyara Wildlife Safari camp and Serengeti Wild Camp were beyond our wildest dreams along with Rhino lodge. The staff were delightful and the food absolutely delicious! It was a truly magical experience. The tour guide was very knowledgable and went out of his way to ensure all of us were enjoying our time. Itinerary was clear, and well laid out. Knew what each day entailed. I promise to recommend you to all who plan the safari.
Brilliant - Awsome - Unforgettable
From the first day we contacted Shaun Taylor from Moriti Safaris to our last day everything went smoothly. All our lodges picked by Shaun were first class. William Cooke our Guide could not have been more helpful and knowledgable. This was our third time to Africa,and they were by far the best organised, and caring company by far.
I would highly recommend Moriti Safaris, if you want to relaxed and be pampered while seeing the most awsome animals and scenery in South Africa.

Amazing Uganda!
I was in Uganda for 3,5 week and it was amazing! We were in a group of 10 people and had Robert and David as guides. They were really nice and had a huge knowledge about the nature, animals and the wildlife in general.
We drove around i Uganda and slept at different locations so we got to see a lot of Uganda. At the same time we were at 3 different game drives in 3 national parks where we got to see lions, giraffes, buffaloes, elephants, antelopes and many more animals. We also went on the gorilla and chimpanzee trekking - the gorilla trekking was definitely the best experience in Uganda!
All in all, I higly recommend Cheetah Safaris Uganda! They're really great and I had a wonderful trip to Uganda!

Excellent service and guide.
We visited South Africa from 8th to 18th May. Our entire itinerary was put together by your company and I am extremely pleased to say that everything went off beautifully! we were extremely happy with the way everything had been planned and I would not hesitate to recommend you to any friends who might want to visit. I would like to specially mention our guide Mr Havelyn, who was with us on the garden route, he was such good company and full of information! We never had a single dull moment! Eventually he became a very good friend! Thanks again for the excellent service.

Fantastic family safari - with Safari Infinity
Booking a safari in Tanzania is quite a challenge since there are so many safari companies to choose from - so having said that, we had requested quotes from many places and the reason we chose Safari Infinity was their prompt replies and turn around times to answer our questions, and they were able to get us reservations at the camps and lodges that we wanted (even though we were booking all this at the last minute). We definitely made the right choice! They stayed in touch through out the entire week ensuring we were enjoying the trip and even tried to acommodate changes that we wanted to make at the last minute.
To summarize, there were 7 of us on safari - 2 Grandparents, 2 parents and 3 children (ages 9, 5, 5). We had the option of either booking 2 vehicles or to squeeze in to 1. We opted to travel together in 1 vehicle - mostly because we thought it would be more fun that way, although, on the days we had luggage (going from camp to camp) it felt a little cramped.
Our driver/guide - Tumaini was excellent. He went the extra mile to get us to see animals that were on our priority list (he knew just where to go and when to go - we just had to trust him!). He was very knowledgeable- especially when he was grilled with hundreds of questions by our 9 year old! He did his best to ensure our comfort during the safari - and with 3 kids in the car, we always had a clean vehicle every morning. His driving skills were excellent - not only at getting us out of a muddy river bed for example, but also maneuvering so that we had the best view of the pride of lions enjoying a kill, when there were at least 15 other cars all trying to get to the front!
We started our tour in Arusha for one night, then on to Tarangire for half day, and then to Ngorongoro (& Beyond Ngorongoro Crater lodge) for 2 nights, Pioneer camp for 2 nights (central Serengeti) and then Bushtops (northern Serengeti) for 2 nights. The only thing we would have changed is to either skip Tarangire or to spend a night in Tarangire. With young kids, we started off on the 1st day with about 6 -7 hours in the car which was just a little too much and we were not able to enjoy the fabulous facilities at the & Beyond Ngorongoro crater lodge.
All in all, a very enjoyable safari and would definitely recommend Safari Infinity to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary!

Mr. Ernest Chiwanga, at Worldwide Safaris Tanzania, a most exceptional guide.
I cannot write a review about Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD because I have not, as yet, been able to take a safari with this company. I have, however, had the good fortune to be on a Mountain Travel Sobek trip in July, 2014 in Tanzania with Mr. Ernest Chiwanga, one of the leaders and guides for our group of 10. I have stayed in touch with Mr. Chiwanga since my 2014 trip and learned that he is now leading safaris with Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD and had his first group last month. They were lucky people to have Mr. Chiwanga as their guide! He is an extraordinary person, very knowledgeable about Tanzania and very interested in the animals of his country. He was a wonderful guide and a very nice person too. I do hope, someday, to be able to make another safari in Tanzania with Mr. Chiwanga through Worldwide Safaris Tanzania LTD as I know it will be a very rewarding experience. I fell in love with Africa on my 2014 trip (my first trip there). The people who made my trip so interesting, like Mr. Chiwanga, the unique places we visited and the beautiful animals and birds we saw made it a trip of a lifetime for me. My only fear is that continued poaching I read about almost daily will kill off all of the beautiful elephants, rhinos and other animals in Tanzania and throughout Africa and then there will be little reason to visit that wonderful place. Sincerely, Jacquelyn Wilson
