Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Matthew
So many animals; such a unique place with so many ecosystems all contained in the crater.

Our safari experience can be summed up in Wild, Beautiful, Dangerous, Peaceful, Delicious
We traveled with Thomson Safaris and stayed in their tented camps. The camp accommodations were first rate and the camp staff, food, fellow travelers, guides, etc. were amazing. They really made the trip enjoyable. We were usually out on our game drives by 8am and didn't usually return until after 5pm, so we got tons of game viewing and were able to sit still for extended periods of time to just watch the animals interact. The elephants were the best.
One reason we chose Tanzania for our safari was to see the Serengeti. It was so vast; we only saw a tiny part of it and still what we saw was immense. We were lucky in that the Wildebeest herds had moved north into the Seronera region of the park because of rains that had come just before we arrived. That was a bonus, being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of animals.
The Thomson guides were excellent. We had 13 people in our group split among 3 Rovers and all 3 guides were amazing.

Kilimanjaro Marangu Tarangine Ngorongoro Manyara
just arrived from Tanzania. We are very happy especially with choosing Kilimanjaro Brothers. We made the ascent of Kilimanjaro by the Marangu route, which was hard but very rewarding, we chose Kilimanjaro Brothers despite having read about other top agencies but was mostly a success, they treated us wonderfully, George looks like a very good person and he helped us all time before and during the travel. Our Kilimanjaro guide did not speak Spanish very well but the Safari´s, Yona spoke it very well and knew a lot of animals. Accommodations "farm of dreams" and "Planet Lodge" luxury .. Thanks George

Trip of a lifetime! Perfectly planned as we asked, and exceeded expectations!
The trip was perfectly planned with little input from us. All of the accommodations were top notch. We wanted to have a safari as well as cultural opportunities. We saw many reserves, all selected were vastly different which kept things interesting and afforded us the opportunity to see a plethora of animals and Tanzanian countryside. Our guide was extremely knowledgable about all of the flora and fauna and the local culture in all areas. Not to mention the fact that he engaged each traveler, and met all of our individual needs. He even modified some of the routes due to the weather. We were up close and personal with all the animals! And what a driver! There were some terrible rains with roads washed out, yet he got thru them or around them. The last two nights were at an amazing lodge run by the Maasai, the experience was priceless. The whole experience was perfect from planning thru implementation. We could not have asked for more! I have already started working on a return trip, my recommendations and appreciation could not be higher.

We are completely satisfied: compétence, availability and kindness of our guide.
It is our friends who made the reservation. I saw the exchangesof e-mail : Safari Star Tours (Roger) asked us for our wishes and realized them. This "safari operator"is well tuned in to his customers and respected its commitments. Our guide Roger made all the necessary to make us this very pleasant stay in Tanzanie.

Excellent one day safari!!
I had an excellent time with Peter on safari. All communication was prompt, and he was at the airport on time as promised. He and the other guide were extremely knowledgeable about Nairobi National Park and all of the different animals, and they were so much fun to be around. My friend and I got along with them great! In addition to this, they really went above and beyond to ensure my friend and I enjoyed our long layover in Nairobi. They showed us around the city and helped us waste a little time before our flight. If I come back to Nairobi (which I plan to!!) I will be definitely booking another safari. I am beyond pleased with my experience.

Our guide, Paul Tamwenya, was exceptionally knowledgeable, with amazing field skills (sight, hearing
We had an outstanding trip with Paul Tamwenya, which exceeded our expectations - the birding was brilliant and Paul made sure we all (4 on our trip) saw the birds and mammals. He was very familiar with the places we visited, the local guides and where to go for the best nature experiences. His knowledge was broad and deep. As well he was a fun companion with a big smile on his face!
The accommodations he booked for us were really good and gave us a genuine flavour of local culture and cuisine. The van we travelled in allowed us to view the parks safari style. This trip remains etched in our memories and makes us want to return for more!
