Excellent, super friendly and service above and beyond!
This is my first time visiting Africa and booked a 4-day Safari with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris starting from Arusha. Coming from Australia, it is a long way away and I had almost no African experience, nor knew what to expect. Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris were excellent in every way. When booking the tour, they were extremely responsive, courteous and thoughtful, accommodating to my questions and needs, tailoring the experience for me regarding where I wanted to visit and appropriate accommodation for my budget.
They were also able to arrange seamless pickup and drop-off for me from my Kilimanjaro airport to my hotel, and the next day pick up from hotel by a highly experienced Safari guide for my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt safe and welcomed throughout.
Lastly, and most extraordinarily, my departing flight out of Kilimanjaro airport was cancelled and was re-scheduled to an earlier flight which didn't work for me. I was notified in the middle of my Safari and not speaking Swahili nor know who to contact, I needed urgent help. Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris was able to communicate to various airlines on my behalf and ultimately re-accommodated me to a flight that worked for my itinerary. This was done free of charge with utmost professionalism at a time that was highly stressful for me.
Their safari prices are also good value for money, but ultimately their responsiveness, reliability and professional + friendly service makes them the most excellent company I've toured with.
Highly highly recommended.

Wonderful camping Safari experience
Our 5-day safari was an absolute one of a lifetime experience. Everything was taken care of. Our cook Samil prepared delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us every day (more than we could eat and always with multiple options). We sat in a spacious car with the option to charge mobile phones or camera equipment. Our guide Elias was very experienced, funny, patient and could answer any questions we had about animal, land and people. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro ngoro crater. We saw so many lions, zebras, Elefanten, Giraffs, Hippos and buffalos up close and many more. Also, we saw a leopard and many lion babies, a real highlight. We slept in tents, they were big and sturdy and prepared for us. Sleeping bags, pillows and mattresses were clean and comfortable. In our two last camps (Serengeti and Ngoro ngoro), we were visited by hyenas and zebras in the evening. I can absolutely recommend this Safari, for me it will be a very special memory.

Best Safari Experience
Since i didnt find other reviews here, i thought i would update you on my trip with Insight Safari Holidays. This delivered an experience that was both exhilarating and relaxing. I enjoying trekking to see the gorillas and a visit to Mount Ruwenzori. I was amazed at their commitment to responsible tourism which was evident throughout the trip. If you're looking for a safari company that balances luxury with authenticity, and adventure with comfort, I can't recommend Insight Safari Holidays enough. They truly live up to their name, providing genuine insights into the beauty of African wildlife and culture.Our guide, Edmund, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystems. His ability to spot animals from a distance was almost supernatural!

Unforgettable Zimbabwe safari experience
We just got back from an incredible 6-day trip to Zimbabwe with African Beast Safaris, and it was beyond amazing! Simon, our guide and trip manager, made everything so easy and enjoyable. Despite some flight delays (which were booked separately), Simon took it in stride, rearranging everything so we didn’t miss a beat. He was always available and responsive, no matter the time of day, which really put us at ease.
We stayed at Elephant Hills Resort while in Victoria Falls, which was absolutely gorgeous. Then, we moved to Ivory Lodge in Hwange National Park, and that place was a highlight! It had its own wildlife concession area, so we were surrounded by animals all the time — it felt like a private safari experience just staying there.
The trip was packed with amazing activities: morning, full-day, and evening safaris, smooth transfers between locations, and a lovely boat trip. We also had an incredible night of stargazing with Amarula (highly recommend!) where we got a full guide on all the star constellations visible in the African sky — such a unique and relaxing experience.
What made the trip even better was that we had two groups who booked everything separately, but African Beast Safaris made sure we all shared the experiences together without a hitch. Both Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park were stunning, and we saw so much wildlife it was unreal!
There were no issues at all, and Simon’s attention to detail made everything run like clockwork. If you’re planning a safari in Zimbabwe, I can’t recommend African Beast Safaris enough — it was truly an unforgettable adventure, and we’d do it all again in a heartbeat!

Very efficient and responsive. Booked wonderful lodges and covered nearly everything
Clive organised a great trip for us Namibia Girls. The lodges were excellent and we had an amazing time. Dunes wonderful, desert safari very special. Would suggest just see rock painting at Twyfelfontain and don’t do elephant drive. Etosha roads bad but good game viewing at waterholes. Lianshulu is a lovely lodge but not really enough to do for 2 night stay. Mopani Lodge in Botswana - great waterhole but 40 km from park entrance and service very well meaning but a bit erratic. Guest house in Victoria Falls very good indeed, a super place to finish.

We had a good communication with Full Package. Quick response and good suggestions to the tour.
Max, our driver and guide were very service minded, always on time, always in a good mood, knew a lot about the animals. We slept in good hotels and tended camps. We were especially fond about Sero Tended Camp in Serengeti.
So we would do it all again with Full Packages.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure – A Must-Do!"
From the moment we arrived, this safari experience exceeded all expectations. The breathtaking landscapes, the raw beauty of nature, and the sheer excitement of seeing wildlife in their natural habitat made it a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about conservation. We learned so much about the animals, their behaviors, and the importance of protecting the environment. The game drives were perfectly timed, giving us up-close encounters with elephants, lions, giraffes, and more – moments I’ll never forget.
The accommodations were luxurious yet felt in harmony with the surroundings. Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunset with a view of the savanna was magical. Every meal was a gourmet delight, and the service was impeccable – attentive, but never intrusive.
Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or just looking for an incredible adventure, this safari is an absolute must. It’s not just a trip, it’s an experience that leaves you with a deep appreciation for the natural world.
10/10 – I can't recommend it highly enough!
