Superb range of animals and birds in their natural habitat nearby in comfortable accommodation
We accompanied our son Siôn who made the arrangements and his wife Oanh on the safari. We are both over 70 and had never been on safari before. It was a remarkable experience. The accommodation in Hippo Camp was superb and ideally suited to our needs. The individual lodges were spacious with en-suite facilities. The restaurant/ bar area was very comfortable and the food copious and good. It was only a short drive to Selous Game Park where the main area for observation was along a river. This had an amazing array of exotic animals and birds who were using the river for watering or as a natural habitat such as crocs, hippos and dipper birds. Our tireless guide was extremely knowledgeable and used his excellent knowledge of the vast area to take us to some remote places. We also had an extremely enjoyable Walking Safari with an interesting authentic local guide, and a boat safari. It was a really unforgettable experience and we have retained some wonderful memories captured by many photos.

Perfect Tanzanian adventure in wild nature with the best!
I was volunteering in Tanzania and together with my friends we decided to do the safari. My friend recommended the Mega Adventures Travel to me. From the very first moment I knew it was a good choice. Dodo (CEO) was super helpful, he made a lot of effort to help us with safari, organize everything for us, explained a lot about the nature and nationals parks. Safari itself is an unforgettable experience and I will remember forever how we slept in the midle of Serengeti under the stars with all the wild animals. Food was delicious, we saw all the animals from big 5 and enjoyed it very much. I felt like princess, everybody was looking after us and it was not only about the money. They really tried hard to make the best from the safari for us. Asante sana! :)

Amazing experience
We did 3 nights 4 days Safari with KETS and our driver was Francis.
Everything was so easy and straightforward since the beginning. Paul answered our questions very fast and was willing to make some accommodation changes to the itinerary.
Francis was an amazing guide and we saw so many animals. You could see that he was much appreciated within the other drivers as well.
He always made sure that we were feeling safe.
Can't recommend KETS and Francis enough!

We were with our grand daughter an the trip was incredibly important to her development as a young a
The Taylor's put our grand daughter at ease immediately. This was her first time way from home, and despite the distance and cultural differences, she was always thrilled with it all.

Trip of a lifetime
We had an absolutely fantastic vacation! Moses, our driver and guide, adapted to every whim of ours if possible, was very friendly, yet professional.
I personally liked that we added the outdoor activity sections that broke up the long driving days. The long drives I actually didn't like so much but they were unavoidable with our budget. Loved the hike to the base camp of Mt Kenya even though we were in better shape than our local guide, the hike to the bat caves and up the volcano with an excellent Maasai guide, and the mountain biking and hiking at Hell's Gate. We saw all the "Big 5" repeatedly and are still in awe by the beauty of the parks and reserves and the plethora of animals.
The food at the lodges was outstanding as well as service and accommodations.
Sweetwater Lodge was our favorite out of all the beautiful places.
We had a great, great vacation and want to come back for another adventure for sure.
Best,
Jutta and family

Review about Tarangire National Park by ssilberman
The elephants!! This was the place where we spent hours watching elephants -- using their trunks to suck water from dry river beds, squirting water on their backs, throwing dirt on their backs, young calves playing, running, touching each other affectionately.... Ah, there might have been other animals, but, here, the elephants were the highlight!!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by ssilberman
Standing at the top of this crater and looking down is awe-inspiring. We'd heard it would be crowded but we didn't see many other vehicles. It was our first view of lions!! Who could ever forget that?

Review about Arusha National Park by ssilberman
This was our first park we visited. The animals were further away but it was that first amazing view of a giraffe in the wild.... The flow of its walk... This was one of the prettiest of all the parks we saw -- with the trees.
