Turned out great despite hiccups
My husband and I booked our 7-night safari through Bramwel after receiving a prompt and charming proposal to our online request. Since it was out first time to Tanzania (we had been to Africa before, and on Safari in Kenya), we asked a few questions before confirming and paying. Although the trip ended well and we had the friendly and professional Freddy as our guide, it wasn't without several early hiccups including delayed airport pick up, grubby car, not meeting our tour guide until the first camp, hotel booking not found at the first camp, having to pay $840 at the Serengeti National Park gate (despite transferring the full amount 3 weeks in advance of our arrival. The amount was of course refunded to us in Arusha on our way back out), the cool box in the Land Cruiser not working, etc. Having said that, the rest of the trip was amazing, the experience highly memorable, we got to see the big five and more. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, professional and really passionate about showing us the best sights and he salvaged our initial disappointments and concerns.

“Fantastic, Amazing, Brilliant!”
Where do I begin to explain just how fantastic African Scenic Safaris are. From start to finish they excelled in making our trip an experience of a lifetime. I am glad I did not use a third party agency, went with my instincts and booked direct.
Amanda who help create/organise our spectacular trip was faultless. Always quick to reply to my questions and queries. Knowing the right type of places to stay and which parks would best suit our time in Africa. She was kind and so helpful. Amanda helped with our accommodation before the trip began and also helped organise the magical hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. We chose a 4 night, 5 day trip in Tanzania which included Tarangire NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, staying in a mix of luxury camping and lodges. Thank you Amanda for all of your help. The safari car which we spent so much time in was comfortable and clean. With plenty of space. Binoculars were also available in the car which was a handy added bonus. Bottled water was also provided. A very special thank you goes to our guide for the duration of our trip. David was by far the most knowledgeable, funny, charismatic guide we have ever met. There wasn't much he didn't know. A font of knowledge on all things flora and fauna. He always wore a wonderful smile even on the very early mornings. We expected a lot on our trip armed with a long list of animals we wanted to see and David always delivered. We got to see the big 5 which we felt may be impossible but not with David on the lookout. He knew where to look and always had interesting insights about what we had found. Forget about the Superb Starling it’s all about the Superb David! If you plan to book your safari through the company I would strongly suggest you ask for David to be your guide. He made our trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend African Scenic Safaris for your trip.

Kenya Safari Arcade booked my flights and accommodation when I visited Kenya from Abuja.
Everything was dealt with very efficiently and with the minimum of fuss. We didn't go on a safari tour, just booked a trip to Samburu and a week later went to Diani. Everything went very well and worked out perfectly.

Great safari! I highly recommend this company.
We are back from a fantastic ten-day safari visiting Taranguire, Manyara, Serengeti (both, Seronera and Mara regions) and Ngorongroro. Beatrice was excellent and helped us planning the itinerary and selecting the accommodation, which was all very good. She always responded very quickly with precise information. Our guide, Adrian, was marvellous. He is an encyclopaedia of knowledge about fauna and flora (he could tell you the name of a bird from far and then show it to you in his book), and also about culture, history, geography and whatever you want to know about Eastern Africa where he has travelled extensively. He made sure that we all had a great time, which included being super patient and accommodating with our seven-year-old son. We drove in a quite new eight-seat Toyota Land Cruiser just for us which was very comfortable and worked impeccably throughout the trip. Everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great holiday. I definitely recommend Easy Travel.
Accommodation: we had a mix of hotels and tented camps. Personally, we liked the latter best because they allowed you to be in the middle of bush. They were super comfortable and safe (despite wild animals grazing all around).
Season: we travelled in late August/early September, which is the dry season. Serengeti is quite dry and looks brown, but still full of animals (somehow more concentrated around waterholes). Going north (to the Mara region) is the best to see the migration. At this time of the year roads are dusty, but the temperature is very pleasant and there are very few mosquitos or flies. We were in these four national parks about a decade ago in February, and it was greener but also much warmer and with mosquitos.

striiking experience
During 3 days and one night, myself and other six guys went to Massai Mara. The experience was absolute incredible. Accomodation was in Rhino Tourist Tented Camp, good option, clean, nice food, gentle staff... our driver Isaac knew very well the area and his knowledge about the park helped us in order to ejoy the trip.

Phacochère
We wanted to do the southern parks to be away from mass tourism and a tour that is affordable for a family. And with Grassroots we did a very good choice. Micky arranged our 9 day trip as we wanted it, he is well experienced and mailed us without delay. We had a very safe driver with an outstanding knowledge of wildlife, good English and a perfect "picture hunter". We saw the big five (besides the rhinos, they are only in the north), lots of birds and lots of other animals. Our accommodations were all comfortable, even the one night in a tent. We loved Hippo Camp; sleeping by the sound of hippos snorting in the river is something unforgettable. Our cook was the best. He prepared the most delicious meals.

Great Safari with Migada Adventures
We are four on a safari from Arush to Serengeti in September of 2013 with Migada Adventures. It is a lifetime experience safari. We have been on a Jeep of 5 seats on arrival then continue Safari there. Arusha Park is like appetizer, then head to Manyara Lake, then to Ngorongoro Crater and head north to Serengeti. Everyday is a surprise. Ngorongoro and Serengeti are main course. We saw a lion trying to hun a buffalo, see leopards lying on sausage trees. The camping night in central Serengeti is really amazing experience to be in the wild but safely.
Excitement never ends on that safari.
The guide is very experienced and friendly. He knows the best spot to see big cats. But he follows the rules very strictly and that is great for environment protection.
Definitely will come back to Tanzania again in the near future.

Superb 12 day private safari on a budget
We, a dutch couple (early 30's and well travelled) would like to recommend Safari Multiways to anybody wanting to do a safari in Tanzani.
They gave us a sharp price for an excellent safari,we did a 12 day private (all) northen parks camping safari.
The guide (Amos) and chef (Moses) are real professionals! Amos has an incrideble eye for wildlife ( he saw things other cars drove by and had an answer to all our questions) and Moses is a very nice guy who was able to cook a lot of divers meals during the safari.
We would also like to recommend to visiting the bushman at lake Eyasi, it is an once in a life time experience. And apparantly often misted by people going on safari.
Safari multiways has provided us with a very divers and attractive safari.
