perfect !
we booked a 9 day safari with Zohar and we just had the best of times. we travelled with our three children (13-11-8) and everybody hugely loved the experience. First the planning of the safari was exellent as Lilian is very prompt to answer any of your questions, gives you advise and basically is excellent at organising a safari that fits your personality and expectations. the lodges that were chosen were all very good with safe food which is important as you don't want anybody falling sick and missing 4 days of the safari ! Our guide Fasal was simply the best ! He was entertaining for the children but taught them so much about the wildlife, the environment and just about respect that we simply enjoyed every minute with him. Whether it be Lilian from the organisation point of view or Fasal for the safari, everything was just perfect! it was a once in a lifetime experience and they made sure that we would never forget it. We all as a family strongly recommend Zohar African safaris!

Fantastic!
We are very happy we chose Deep forest safari. Tourleader/director Samuel replied very fast on our questions before our trip and he made a personal schedule for us with the places we wanted to visit. We booked a 5 days and 4 nights package, including Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Hells gate and Nakuru national park. It was fantastic and during the safari everything was well organised. When we told him we would like to go on an early morning gamedrive, it was no problem. The accomodations and food were fine.
I think Deep forest safaris is great value for money and we definitely recomend Deep forest safaris!

Fantastic time!
This was my second time up the mountain with the same company. The crew is well prepared, accommodating and very supportive. Mt Kenya is just the most spectacular hike you will find in Kenya and I look forward to a third time some time soon.

Thompson family safari with Gideon to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti - Dec 2015-Jan 2016
We travelled with Gideon for six days throughout Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti as a family of five - us two parents and three grown-up children. By unanimous vote it has been our best family vacation ever!!! I lived in Tanzania for nine years in total and had visited the northern parks many times but hadn't been back for more than 25 years. Gideon made the journey special even for an old hand like me and even more so for the rest of the family. We knew what we wanted - we didn't want to go to Tarangire in December when the grass would be tall and the animals difficult to see. We did want to experience the migration and also spend a night at Serena Hotel on the edge of the crater. Gideon gave us all we could have asked for and even more. We went into parts the Serengeti I had never been to before. He adjusted our travel plans day by day to ensure that we would experience the best game viewing possible. When we were staying on the border area between Ngorongoro and Serengeti he bought passes for both parks simultaneously so that we could move freely from one park to the other. He has an incredible gift for spotting and identifying animals at great distances. Just about every day, after seeing lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and tens of thousands of plains animals we came across cars from the more established companies with disconsolate guides asking if we had seen anything interesting that day. Gideon would always graciously swap updates on locations and sightings. Two things that made our holiday though were (1) Gideon's passion for what he does and (2) his desire to make our safari the best it could possibly be. Gideon loves his work. He has such a strong attachment to this part of the world which is close to where he grew up. It means so much to him and he simply loves to share it with his guests. It made the whole safari experience a deeply personal one for all of us, one that none of us will ever forget!

Andy Saidy made fantasies come to life!
I relied completely on KrugerPark.com, and especially Andy Saidy to put together my holiday ... and I was not disappointed! Everything I had dreamed and fantasized about Africa came true and was brought to life. From the exceptional staff at every lodge I visited, the literal "works of art" that were my dinner plates, the 5 Star accommodations, to the animals, animals, animals! And I won't even attempt to describe the beauty of Africa itself! My transfers were all handled smoothly, efficiently and with a great deal of aplomb due to the drivers being so well informed with not only the locale, but also about my itinerary, timing, and destinations.
Not only did I see the Big 5 many times, but had the opportunity to see a Leopard relaxing after having finished her meal for the day, several Pride of Lion, 2 young male Giraffe toughing it out with each other, but Zebra, Hippo, Giraffe, Crocodile, Kudu, and too many others to mention. Animals I didn't even know existed!
If you have longed for a lifetime to see even a small part of Africa as I had, or even if you're simply contemplating someplace new to visit, I highly recommend KrugerPark.com and Andy Saidy with the utmost of confidence that your Safari will be a stunning success and will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime!

Great!!!
I was hoping to see a lot of wild life, and finally we found much more than what I expect!!!
We had a 5 days safari in Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti so the possibilities were high, but I believe the biggest reason for our successful safari was on our driver: his name is Ayubu, he's en expert of the areas, he studied African wildlife and mostly he's a fair and right man
We had a private Land Rover jeep for just the four of us + the driver; all the accommodations were nice with good meals
We had a really nice time, thanks to Serene Tours Tanzania
Super!!!

Superb!
We have just returned from our honeymoon, which was all done privately through Sunny Safaris... We've had such an amazing time: we were thrilled by all of the wildlife that we saw, our driver-guide was brilliant, and the hotels were fantastic. The ease with which a package was created for us was perfect, and we were delighted with the results! Many, many thanks Sunny Safaris - it really was the holiday of a lifetime!

Excellent Safari Tour!
We recommend for sure It Started in Africa. It is an excellent company, very professional, friendly and accomodating during the planning of our tour (prompt replies by e-mail for all our questions) and during the days of the safari.
Tommy was our expert and friendly guide for all days. He knows a lot of animals and explain us everything. Very friendly and kind. we all enjoy a lot.
We really enjoyed our stay in Tanzania, thanks to It Started. It is a very reliable company.
I really want to come again. It was an amazing experience.
Besides, they offer good prices with excellent services!

It was a grand experience with this great team in this wonderful country which is Botswana .
The guide (Kenny) was really great. He found every animals which were hiding in the bushes. And, for the cooker (Simon) , his meals were delicious.
Nonetheless the sleeping bags was not enough hot for the night temperatures, and the zip of the tent was broken.
However , despite all of that, Kagato Safari is an amazing safari agency.
