KIBOKO is ok and Gibson really accurate and reliable.
Kiboko Tour is sirius and reliable, and we won't forget never our safari. Gibson (Kiboko representative for customers) is always available, nice and accurate, and was able to match our needs through an accurate and kind comunication and good choices.
Paul (drive/guide) is a really smiling/nice person and staying with him has been really nice. Just one point: our feeling is that he well knows Masai Mara and lake Nokuru, but, unfortunately, much less Tsavo East and Ovest, where we "paid" that and his lack of network there.
My family loved staying with him, but, one suggestion for him, less time spent using his own mobile phone and try to catch more informations into the park.
I looked for a small local tour operator, able to take care our plan, and with Gibson got it.
I raccomend KIBOKO.

Excellent local Tanzanian safari company
Wow!
Our 14 day safari organized by Bright African safaris was amazing.
We traveled through Kenya and Tanzania. In Kenya we visited lake Nakuru , Masai Mara and Amboselli.
In Tanzania we visited the Serengeti ( 6 days) and Ngorogoro.
Salim was our sales consultant and organized everything perfectly. Not a hitch! Great itinerary and accommodation options. He even organized a few hrs at a hotel in Nairobi prior to our late night flight at the last minute to allow us to freshen up prior to > 30 hours travel home.
Our guides in Kenya and Tanzania were very good but a special mention to Banana , our guide in Tanzania.
He was awesome and really enhanced our experience in Tanzania. He was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic in sharing his knowledge. He never ceased to amaze us with what he spotted- whilst navigating the challenging roads!!
He was also very professional and really looked after us with our bush lunches on safari- and even plunger coffee!
And to top it all off,banana was a really lovely person with a great smile!
We stayed at tented camps mostly but also a couple of lodges. Both types of accommodation were great but we really loved the Sopa lodge in lake Nakuru and Serena lodge in Ngorogoro. We would highly recommend these lodges if available (Sopa and Serena have several lodges in both countries I think).
We saw everything we could have hoped for - lion, cheetah, leopard, rhino, hippo, elephant, giraffe etc.
This was our second safari in Africa ( previously Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia) and I think Tanzania is my favourite country for safari. The people are just lovely- and the parks and animals fantastic.
I have no hesitation in recommending Bright African safaris to organize your safari. Enjoy the adventure of a lifetime!

Best safari ever!
Godson was our driver and tour guide in a 8 days safari in Tanzania. He is a great person, a friend and makes you feel comfortable in any way. During the safari when things didn’t go as planned, Godson did everything to sort things out and assist us in any way. We recommend him with full heart !!! and sure that all the travelers that will work with him will feel the same as we did. We had the best safari mainly because of him!

Top notch
I recently completed a 6-day Kilimanjaro hike with Kili Hike Adventures, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, the entire journey was well-organized and affordable, making it an outstanding value for the experience offered.
The guides, porters, and cooks who work for this agency are simply wonderful. The guides were particularly incredible—they not only showed us everything there was to see along the trail but also went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort throughout the hike. Their knowledge of the mountain and its surroundings added so much to the overall experience.
One of the standout features of Kili Hike Adventures is the option to rent warm clothes and equipment, which was a great convenience for those of us who needed it.
I highly recommend Kili Hike adventures !

Welcoming and knowledgeable!
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a day tour of the Cape Peninsula with Thompson's Africa, led by the incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide, Nabeel Daniel. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, offering a perfect blend of breathtaking natural beauty, fascinating historical insights, and unforgettable memories.
Our journey began with a scenic drive along the stunning coastline, where Nabeel's passion for the region's rich history and diverse flora and fauna shone through. His engaging commentary and deep knowledge of the area truly enhanced the experience, providing a deeper understanding of the cultural and environmental significance of the Cape Peninsula.
One of the highlights of the tour was the visit to Table Mountain, where we were treated to panoramic views of Cape Town and the surrounding ocean.
As we made our way to the historic lighthouse perched on the edge of the Peninsula, Nabeel continued to impress with his insightful commentary and engaging storytelling. The breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and crashing waves served as a fitting conclusion to a day filled with unforgettable sights and experiences.
Our day tour of the Cape Peninsula with Thompson's Africa and Nabeel Daniel was nothing short of spectacular. From the picturesque coastline to the iconic Table Mountain and historic lighthouse, every moment was expertly curated and delivered with professionalism and passion. I cannot recommend this tour and Nabeel as a guide highly enough, and I look forward to exploring more of South Africa's wonders with Thompson's Africa in the future.

Very informative and friendly.
One of the best experiences have had in my life and of great memories. The tour guide (Rocky) had vast knowledge and this came in handy for us to learn so much about our beautiful wildlife and nature. Very friendly and engaging. He made sure we were all alert through the entire journey so as not to miss on anything. I highly recommend them.

Unequivocally the best operator we found.
We were planning a special trip to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday in September and my 60th in August. With so many companies to choose from, we needed to find one that fit our budget. After reaching out to several, we ultimately decided on Inspired Feet Safaris. They stood out for their prompt communication and positive reviews, particularly for budget safaris.
We initially booked our trip for June, but due to an injury, we had to cancel. Fiona, the manager, immediately offered a full refund without any hesitation. Once I partially recovered, we were still eager to go on our safari, so we rebooked for August. Once again, Fiona’s responses were quick and helpful.
Our experience with Inspired Feet Safaris was exceptional. Our accommodations for the eight days were perfect. While food choices were sometimes limited at the camps or hotels, they were still very good—just remember, you're in Africa, not your home country.
Throughout our trip, Fiona's communication was top-notch. She was always available to address any concerns, and she regularly checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly. For a budget safari, this experience far exceeded our expectations.
The wildlife we encountered was incredible. We saw all of the Big Five, witnessed the great wildebeest migration, and even experienced the dramatic moment of a cheetah stalking and making a kill—an emotional but awe-inspiring sight of nature in action.
In conclusion, if you're considering a budget safari or have a specific itinerary in mind, I highly recommend contacting Fiona at Inspired Feet Safaris. She will take care of all your needs and won’t disappoint. Finally, our driver and guide, Abdi, was outstanding. If you have the chance, request him as your guide—his ability to find wildlife and position us for great photos was remarkable. You won’t be disappointed.

Ivan was an absolutely fantastic host/guide and gave us an experience beyond our expectations,
Ivan's communication was great, timely and useful. His staff's service was both respectful and accommodating. The tour was absolutely fantastic, packing a wide variety of activities into a few short days without leaving us tired or overwhelmed. Great value for money.
