Amazing Operator, Fantastic Tour, & The Best Guide Ever
Eight months ago, in my quest for a tour provider for a Tanzanian safari, I stumbled upon Brilliant Safaris and Adventures after speaking with various companies. The agent I had the pleasure of interacting with, Julieth, stood out for her exceptional responsiveness and thoroughness in addressing all my inquiries. Her skillful assistance in crafting the perfect honeymoon itinerary tailored to our budget and specific needs made the planning process seamless and stress-free. The choice to move forward with Brilliant over other companies was evident.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were met by our tour guide for the week, Boni. He promptly took us to our hotel for the night. Brilliant Safaris handled all bookings, ensuring we only had to show up at the airport. The remainder of the trip was meticulously planned and organized, leaving us carefree.
The wildlife exceeded our wildest imaginations. On our first safari day, we encountered lions, zebras, warthogs, giraffes, elephants, and hyenas, among others. This incredible start set the tone for the rest of our adventure.
Our guide, Boni, was an exceptional companion throughout the week. His friendly demeanor, humor, and extensive knowledge made our safari experience unforgettable. We consider him a friend after spending eight days in his company.
During our two full days planned for the Mara River wildebeest migration crossing, we spoke with others who had waited days to catch a glimpse. Boni's instincts and expertise led us to the perfect spot for witnessing the crossing just ten minutes after our arrival. We were fortunate enough to witness two magical crossings within a span of three hours. Boni's skill and intuition played a crucial role in these remarkable encounters.
Throughout the rest of the trip, we witnessed an elephant fight up close, approached a cheetah (a rare sight as they usually keep a distance), observed giraffes crossing the Mara River, came across an injured lion whose family had left him, had zebras outside our camp's front door, got up close with a male lion napping, and encountered a mama lion and her cubs feasting on a buffalo they had killed, among many other unforgettable moments. Our estimation would be that we saw hundreds of thousands of animals.
I extend my highest recommendation to anyone seeking to plan their ideal safari. Bravo to Boni, Julieth, and the team at Brilliant Safaris for creating an exceptional and unforgettable experience.

Excellent
We had an amazing experience with Destiny Explorer.
We choosed them for a 7days Safari and for trekking on Mt. Meru and couldn’t be happier of our choice.
Issa organized everything for us taking into account all our requests. Communication with him has been fluid and efficient.
Our guides Gilbert and Houssein accompained us during the safari of a lifetime: they were very competent, ironic, supportive and funny. In a perfect english they explained everything we needed to know about animals and nature and shared stories and opinions. We felt like they were long term friends and enjoyed their company.
All accomodations satisfied our expectations and food was good and various.
Peter has been our guide during trekking on Mt. Meru. With huge patience he supported us all the way up to the peak of the mountain with a positive and encouraging attitude. We will always be thankful to him for giving us the chance of living one of the best experiences or our lives: see the sunrise behind mt. Kili. A big thanks also to the rest of the crew. Accomodations were not as good as we expected, but this is not imputable to Destiny Explorers as the two lodges are the only ones available on the way up and the rangers should take better care of them.
We would really reccomend Destiny Explorers for two reasons:
- it is founded and owned by local people and responsible travel should always support local realities
- it provides a top quality service with an excellent quality/price ratio.
Thank you!!!!

Strongly Recommend Pavillion Safaris!
Great tour with fantastic guides, who go above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. Over a single evening safari around Masai Mara NR we were able to see all the major animals. Reasonable pricing and good organization overall. Would definitely book again with Pavillion Safaris!

amazing experience
KLA Adventures was an amazing experience for me; I can honestly say that it was the best time of my life. Our guide, Gasper, is very knowledgeable, kind, and kind. She has a wealth of knowledge about Tanzania, its people, and their culture. There's a dog that comes with you on your safari and is a very cute dog. To arrange your safari, sign up with KLA Adventures.

Disappointed
During my tour, okavanko river is dried up and no wild animals in this region.
I was really disappointed that situation even though tour company informed in advance.

Mesmerizing
Tanzania is captivating. Went to Kilimanjaro and the sunrise at the summit is the must beautiful I have seen. The safaris are magical, you get to see all these wild animals in their hábitat. the beaches in Zanzibar are the cherry on top.

Unforgettable Safari with Tanzania Juvenile Safaris
We recently returned from a fantastic 7-day safari with Tanzania Juvenile Safaris, led by an exceptional guide, Jackson. Our family of five was blown away by the experience and give it a 5-star rating without hesitation.
Jackson's expertise and passion for wildlife were instrumental in making our trip unforgettable. His ability to spot animals and share fascinating facts about their behaviors added depth to our encounters. Moreover, his connections with other guides allowed us to witness unique moments, such as a wildebeest river crossing and an up-close encounter with a black rhino.
Beyond his knowledge, Jackson's personalized approach ensured that our safari aligned with our individual interests.
His reliable and well-maintained Land Cruiser provided a safe and comfortable journey, even in challenging conditions. Jackson's skill as a driver and his positive, engaging personality made the experience even more enjoyable.
In summary, Tanzania Juvenile Safaris and Jackson's guidance exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Jackson and his company to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable safari adventure."
