An amazing, unforgettable experience!
We spent just over a week with Ima, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and Lake Natron as a family of 4 (kids 15 and 10 yrs), and it was fantastic. Ima is really friendly and his knowledge of the flora and fauna of Tanzania is apparently limitless; he would always have unusual facts to impart about a plant or animal we'd just seen. He finds all the best bits of animal action in the parks and always lets you stay as long as you like looking at particular animals or sights. His chef Godfrey catered for us fussy eaters brilliantly, providing excellent spreads of varied food every day. Geographic Safaris' prices are also the best value in the country- our host in Dar Es Salaam said he'd never heard of such a good deal and that he was now tempted to go himself! All in all it was an unmissable experience and we can't wait to go back.

An unforgettable experience
We chose the 3 days Selous Safari (my husband and I....incidentally, even though it was just the 2 of us, the price remained the same) and the whole experience was amazing, Yussuf was great with the initial booking and communication, everything I asked was explained promptly by return email, and once on the road, our driver/guide Michael was very knowledgeable, very patient, answering our 101 questions, very courteous and friendly, the river safari on the first day by sunset was brilliant, the second day driving around in the jeep, Michael could spot the animals when we couldn't even see them with our binoculars! The bush hike on the last day with our bush guide (Cessi?) and ranger was very interesting, we felt safe the whole time and I was even impressed with the food at Camp Hippo, I had specified that I didn't eat meat and the camp chef made some lovely dishes just for me...thanks Ernest for running such a lovely spot on the Rufiji River...even the 5 hours drive back to Dar Es Salaam was ok as there was so much to see. Thank you all at Bushroutes, it was a memorable journey!

Amazing experience - insightful guide, excellent sightings, fabulous food, lovely group.
From beginning to end this was one truly amazing holiday. Madi our travel consultant put together a really special holiday for us. Victoria Falls where we did white water rafting and devil's pool, staying in the lovely Ilala lodge, Capetown with Table Mountain and Robben Island staying in the fabulous Rouge en Rose and Kruger National Park where Simon guided us through an amazing 3 day safari (seeing all big 5 in one day), educated, entertained and fed us. We were met by friendly, knowledgeable and helpful WildWings staff at each stage of the journey. David taught us the 8 countries surrounding Zambia, Shaun welcomed us warmly in Capetown and Simon was our 5 star guide. Honestly this was a fantastic holiday and I would recommend WildWings to everyone looking for a safari holiday with a difference. Thank you WildWings.

Zanzibar transport with good price
We are group of ten people who just returned from Zanzibar. We were in Zanzibar only for relax after some days in Selous park. Cholo tours organized for us all transport in Zanzibar. We choosed them because they offered best prices. The service was without problem and they added guide to the bus who gave us lot informations.
I can warmly recommend this operator.

Excellent service, great experience.
Communication of booking with Wecam was very pleasant. Emails was always returned in hours. They can help you arrange the hotels in Nairobi as well with a great deal. They communicate with you during your safari trip as well and make sure everything meets your demand. I recommend their service and will use Wecam again.

Fantastic and varied trip around Uganda and Rwanda
We booked a 15 night trip with Ken Bushman and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Communication was excellent throughout the planning stages and he made very valuable suggestions and discussed/changed details to tailor our trip to our exact preferences. We used a variety of accommodation ranging from budget to luxury and all were up to our expectations. The journey was well paced and well balanced with a wealth of fascinating experiences. Wildlife highlights included walking with rhinos at Ziwa sanctuary, seeing chimps in Kibale forest, Gorillas in Bwindi NP, Boat trips on the Nile to Murchisons Falls and on the Kazinga channel and numerous game drives in different national parks. We also added on a 2 night trip into Rwanda which provided quite a contrast to Uganda with interesting visits to the Kigali Genocide memorial and other sites. Bushman is an excellent guide, everything ran smoothly, any minor hiccups (inevitable on a trip such as this) were easily and professionally sorted out. Uganda is a great destination with more variety than you might expect - a visit with Bushmemories safaris would be a great way to see it.

Professional, Reliable and Outstanding Service
8 members of our family recently returned from a 7 day safari though Zohar African Safaris. Lily, the manager and our 3 guides (Sami, Fasal and Baraka) made sure that this safari will be a personal experience for each and every one of us by being attentive to each needs and interest. The organization, guiding was not less than OUTSTANDING and the personal attitude of our guides was warm and attentive threw the entire trip.
The whole experience of east africa safari was EXTRAORDINARY and UNFORGETTABLE.

The amount of wild life we saw far exceeded expectations; we felt safe and well taken care of!
Right from the start, the communication was friendly and trustworthy. Cliff and his team was highly recommended to me by a colleague who had lived in Tanzania for many years. I brought a group of teenagers from Germany to Tanzania for a service trip and we ended our time there with a 4 day safari with Africa Tried and Tested. I was given options to choose from , they organised the safari according to our budget and wishes. There was no variance from the price quoted to the fee we paid. There was room for flexibility, even once we were on the safari. We were picked up from our location, given the option to leave excess baggage at the office. At the end of the safari we returned to the office, given time to repack and then delivered safely to the airport, even waiting until we gave them the thumbs up through the window that we were fine, checked in and on our way to the gate. The meals on safari were all hand made and prepared on location. The bread was baked on the open fire- the best any of us had ever eaten and served with real butter. We occasionally ate alongside other safari groups at lunch stops and in the evening, and our meals far surpassed what other companies were serving their guests. Truly amazing since we were on, what I would consider, a budget safari. But we certainly didn't feel like it as we ate filet, mangoes, hand made sausages, English breakfasts, stir fried veggies and rice, and freshly baked cakes. They also specially prepared meals for one of our group with allergies. The equipment, tents and sleeping bags were all top notch and the crew worked right along side with our kids to set up and break down camp. Drivers were friendly, experienced, knowledgable and I never felt unsafe. I recommend without hesitation and with loads of enthusiasm-Africa Tried and tested.
