A few hiccups, but great overall.
Our Regional Tours organised safari was really good. Communication beforehand was not the greatest, with questions asked by email not being answered, and options not being offered, and we were very disappointed when a visit to the Olduvai Gorge that we had specifically asked to be included in the itinerary did not eventuate. Our driver and guide, Immanuel (of Mama Savannah), was not the most communicative, but he knew his stuff, and got us to where we needed to be to see some great stuff (except the aforementioned Olduvai Gorge). He definitely lied to us on a couple of occasions, which was very disappointing. There was a mix up at our second stop where some supposedly included activities were not included, so we had to pay an extra US$80, but this was reimbursed to us later. Our luggage was delayed, and Regional tours was very good about getting our bags for us. Overall the organisation of the trip was excellent, and the execution really good, with only the few small quibbles mentioned above stopping it from being superb. For an 8-day Safari and 11 day trip overall, in a 3rd-world country, it's almost surprising that everything else came together so well. Payment by Bank Transfer from our New Zealand Bank's online website was very straightforward for us.

The best safari with the best driver :)
We were on 3-day safari in Masai Mara. Everything was perfectly prepared. Communication was very fast. Our guide Isac was the best, he founded every animal in Safari, he drives fast but safety, he was friendly and very helpful with everything. :). It was amazing experience. Thank you for everything :).

Excellent safari, our guide has been very friendly and was really prepared
It was our first safari. We are a family with 3 kids (from 12 to 7). We did Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide has been very helpful to explain every aspect of wild animals life and was also very patient with the questions of the kids. We really enjoied the kati kati tented camp in the Serengeti. Everything was well organised. The only thing we didn't enjoied much was the visit to the Masai village just north the Ngorongoro crater. But, to be onest, it was not in the program and we did ask our guide to stop there. Enrico

An unforgettable experience!
Our safari with All Around Tanzania Safaris was the most amazing experience. From the time we booked our safari we were able to communicate with the team, who answered any questions we had. Our driver/guide was ready waiting for us when we arrived in Arusha and made sure we we had everything we needed. He helped us to check into our hotel, the night prior to our safari, and provided us with lots of info about our upcoming adventure.
Throughout the safari, our driver was friendly and lots of fun. He was extremely knowledgeable and as well as witnessing the breathtaking Serengeti and all it has to offer, we learned so much about the wildlife and the culture of this area.
The food was awesome and plentiful and our cook could not have been nicer. Our safari was a camping safari, where we slept in tents, both on the Serengeti and in some campsites. The facilities were fantastic and we were always made to feel very comfortable.
Knowing that some of the money I paid for my safari, goes toward educating local children, was a huge attraction for me to this company.
I would highly recommend booking a safari with 'All Around Tanzania Safaris'.

Very thorough!
Lisa was knowledgeable about the Kwando camps and provided good suggestions to make the most of our safari. She did a great job communicating and answered all of our questions about what to expect. The safari was wonderful with no hiccups :).

Perfect experience!
I were extremely satisfied with the service provided by Wild Wings. Simon was the perfect guide! He had this sharpened and fascinated look by the beauties of Kruger, always sharing with us information about animals and wildlife. Jock was great too. The meals prepared by him were always very tasty and well presented.

Best experience ever
Their service was amazing and James the driver was really nice, my little son always talked about him.
I would highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris
See the big five all in one amazing national park.
The Serengeti National Park is amazing, even though we were only in a very small part of it there is definitely plenty to see. Make sure you get yourself a good guide as they are worth their weight in gold, making sure that they offer you the chance to see all you can within the time spent in the National Park is their top priority.
The scenery is gorgeous and it's absolutely amazing to see animals in their own natural habitat.
In July the temperatures were always around 25 degrees which was very pleasant. We stayed in tented camps which were excellent, nice big tents with proper beds and a working hot shower in your tent, in the Serengeti, amazing, and proper plumbed in toilets in the tent, hardly call it camping-more like glamping.
Lying awake in your tent at 3am in the morning listening to the roar of lions, and wondering how far away they were, is quite an experience.
A good set of binoculars are a must, although it's very easy to get very close to the wildlife in your off road vehicle, so don't worry about not seeing the animals up very close as an awful lot of the wildlife will be right in front of you walking right past your vehicle.
Seeing the big five in the Serengeti is extremely likely, although be prepared for a hunt around for the leopards and the cheetahs as they can sometimes be quite elusive.
It's also a very worthwhile experience taking a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti to view the wildlife from above, but be prepared for roughly £400 per person. If you decide to spend the money you will not be disappointed as the balloon ride is amazing and the champagne breakfast at the end is a perfect way to finish off the morning.
Don't hesitate to visit the Serengeti National Park, it's an experience you won't forget.
