Youth Adventures and Safaris: Kilimajaro - Safari - Beach
My friend and I did a 2 ½ weeks travel of extremes to Tanzania: extreme bodyworkout, extreme amount of animals, extreme paradise and extremely nice people. What else do you search in live.
We started our adventure with Youth Adventures and Safaris – the best agency in Tanzania- I would warmly recommend to contact them in order to help you organize your trip. They were very responsive and informative when planning the trip and offered a great package with best services and fair prices. Godfrey is a great young guy - being the face and personality behind the company. We enjoyed his high professionality big heart and great personality making us feel welcome and home from the first second on.
We first started with our Kilimanjaro climb; challenging our physical and mental capacities. We decided on the 7 day Lemocho route. Before starting our mountain adventure we had an equipment check and briefing for our climb at Godfrey’s office in Moshi. We were surprised when a car with 12 men picked us up the next day. We had two guides (John and Anderson), a cook (great food), a toilet man (what a nice surprise), a waiter and 7 porters. The climb has been an amazing experience nobody should miss in their lives. The crew has been amazingly professional and great people helping us not only to reach Uhuru Peak!!! but also being the best company during this week – being supportive in every situation and being natural and positive on an interpersonal level too!
After our great success we went on a 4 day camping safari, visiting Tarangire National Part, Sernegeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We have seen a huge amount and variety of wild animals – including the big 5. We enjoyed the car drive, our group of amazing people and the unique landscape.
Just after that experience we decided to spend a couple of days at the beach too. The company Youth Adventures and Safaris has been very flexible and easy going and organized an amazing trip to the beach – to Pangani – the paradise beach – representing the luxury part of our trip.
We would like to thank Youth Adventures and Safaris – Godfrey and his team – for making our trip and experience not only unique and fascinating but also warm and personal!

Great Experience
We did 4 days safari to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Peter, the manager, was a great help and very reliable. My friend and I got our guide and a cook with who we spent the whole journey. The guide was at the same time the driver and he took us to the game drives starting early morning and finishing at the evening. It was so amazing to see the animals in their own habitation! We did the budget safari so we spent the nights in the tents which was very adventurous. There were hyenas sniffing around and buffalos grassing right at our heads. I would recommend it to everyone to overnight in a tent.
After safari Peter was actively asking for the feedback which we found very good. He also helped us to get to the airport at the end of our journey in Tanzania. All in all a great experience on a professional level.

Odyssey Safaris experience
This was an incredible trip from start to finish! Everything was wonderful! The places we stayed were terrific, food was great! In fact, we ate too much! The game drives were so exciting! We saw so many animals and got fabulous pictures. Everyone we came into contact with was extremely nice and welcoming. Our guide, Charles was absolutely fabulous!! He answered numerous questions about the animals and the African culture. He was always in a good mood and was such a joy to be around! This was the vacation of a lifetime! I had dreamed of what I hoped this trip would be like but it was even better!

Unforgetable experience! Amazing wildlife, beautiful scenery and happy, warm people!
Just back from an unforgettable 2 week family adventure in Tanzania! This was my 2nd time using Flash Safaris. Magda once again did an outstanding job of organizing our custom made safari through Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Ndutu and Ngorongoro Crater and visit to a masaii boma where we were greeted by smiles, warmth and dance. We had an awesome guide Abraham who was not only a superb driver and wildlife spotter (we saw the big 5)but also awesome story teller and cappuccino maker! He took excellent care of us and quickly became part of our family! The tented lodges were spectacular, delicious food, kind staff and bonfires at night. What better way to end than relaxing and snorkeling at Blue Oyster in Zanzibar and exploring historic Stone Town and all for a very reasonable price! Asante sana Magda and Edward and Flash Safaris for making our trip so very special! You guys are the best!!

Exceeded all of our expectations :)
after doing a lot of safari tours all over tanzania, i am pretty sure that Ernest from Chabo Africa Advebture is by far the most skilled and sociable safari guide that i have seen.
his routes were very well thought out and his skills for spotting animals were unbelievable. with his good contacts and connections, he was always keeping track wirh all the animals that have been spotted in the park, which granted us a couple of chances to experience stuff which is definitely not included in the average safari tour ;)
the downside could have been that he insisted on picking us up a bit too early.. which tirned out to be just fine :D
its definitely worth travelling to iringa just to go on a safari with him :D

Highly Recommend Speke Uganda
The tour we chose with Speke Uganda was way and above our expectations. Our main objective was to see the gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda and thankfully we decided to combine with a fantastic roadtrip across Uganda. Our Guide, Paul, and our driver, Charles, contributed to making this trip unforgettable. We felt safe, cared for and very welcome. Paul's knowledge of both Uganda and Rwanda is outstanding. He had genuine answers for every little thing we wanted to know. Even the customer relations by Daphne and Tony in the office were outstanding. Everything went smoothly, no hiccups, disasters or problems...apart from not seeing a single lion the whole trip! Cant blame Speke for that though, comes down to mother nature. We had a great tour and got on well with the other 3 members of our tour. All the lodges we stayed in were fantastic as well. Cannot fault this trip. It may have been a little more comfy if our vehicle had been some kind of land cruiser rather than a van with a pop up roof but it did the job and I cant really complain. If you are thinking of booking Speke.....just do it, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful 6 week camping safari in the Northern Parks (Arusha, Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, Tarangire)
Have regularly travelled with Sunny over 18 years. Now choose mostly Special (i.e. Private) campsites so have a real 24 hour a day Africa experience, just us and Driver (Hamisi) and Cook (Julius). Hamisi, who drove us last year too, is hard working, flexible and has excellent wildlife knowledge. We encountered more rain during the safari than usual but he negotiated some tricky road conditions with ease, and even bought us an umbrella!
Excellent views of Wildebeest migration, also massed zebras around Naabi Gate, and over 270 species of birds, our special interest.
Julius baked bread in a tin box over the campfire and prepared a variety of meals during our long safari, including kebabs and fresh fish from Lake Victoria cooked on a metal grill over the fire.
Our tents, camp beds, chairs etc were all very comfortable. Very happy with Sunny Safaris, would always use them.

We had the most fantastic trip with Dallago, we went to Mount Kenya, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara
Just a line to thank you for arranging our recent safari.The communication from the office was efficient, hotels and the vehicle was up to standard. Everything went as planned and we were able to have a most enjoyable time. Joshua, the driver/guide was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was also very experienced with a keen sense of humour. All in all it was a most pleasant experience and we thank you for all the preparatory work you put in.
