Awesome trip with Open Africa
John and his team were very attentive to our needs and put together a great safari for us. From meeting us at the airport with cold water and making sure we got money exchanged, they guided us safely through the big city and got us prepared for our adventure. We decided to go the tent route, and they worked hard to accomodate us. Most of their clients stay in the lodges, so we were an anomaly. They will continue to fine-tune the tent experience as clients request it. Sudy prepared great food and Naele was a wonderful guide. The sunrise safari is a special memory and very worth getting up for. He could spot a rhino or Cheatah from a mile away, and was incredibly especially knowledgable about the birds. Enjoy your trip!

Best Safari have Ever had.
Best holiday trip with my family.BienvenidoTours and safaris went beyond our expectations in our last family trip. We had an excellent trip experience to Nakuru, Maasai Mara, connection to Mombasa and back to Europe.The package was also very friendly and services were excellent. I highly recommend them

A fantastic trip with many of the highlights Tansania offers and an excellent driver.
We planned our trip about 8 months befor we travelled. We contacted Magda and told her what we would like to see. She informed us about the difficulties that certain of our ideas would cause and always had a good alternative at hand. She always mailed back within very short time and helped us a lot with her experience. When we finally had settled everything and arrived in Tansania, she was even at the airport to pick us up. Her choice of travel route turned out to be very thoughtful and the lodges she had selected were a good choice. One of the absolute highlights was the stay at Masai Lodge, which we can highly recommend to anybody. Everything had been carefully and professionally organised and our driver Adam was just brilliant.
We can recommend Flash Safari to everybody wanting to travel Tansania.

Safari Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Last week I went on a safari with Shemeji Safari & Tours. In 4 days we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. In my opinion the perfect amount of days to visit these parcs. We started at Tarangire. It is a 2 hour drive from Arusha. The whole first day we went on game drive in Tarangire. We saw a lot of animals like elephants, zebras and baboons. Our guide knew a lot about the animals. So we learned a lot from him and we were free to ask every question we liked. That night we slept in luxury tents with beds outside Tarangire. A good campsite with hot showers. The next morning we drove to Serengeti. It is a long drive but we saw a lot on the way to Serengeti because you have to pass by Ngorongoro to get there. It is a beautiful drive. That night and the next morning we did game drives in Serengeti. We saw a lot of special animals like lions and cheetahs. The campsite in Serengeti is simple but it is very cool to sleep in the centre of the Serengeti. Everyday the cook made food for us. Every meal was delicious and enough for everyone. On the last day we visited Ngorongoro. It is very cold in this parc so you need a lot of warm clothes but it is worth it. Also this campsite was simple but on a beautiful hill, very cosy and with zebras next to our tents! In short we had an amazing safari with Shemeji Safari & Tours. The driver and cook were very friendly and showed us a beautiful piece of Africa in four days!

Professional and efficient
Matoke tours organized 3 weeks tour in Uganda and Rwanda for three of us. As we had visited Africa for several times, travelled through various countries, organized by different tour operators, it is easy to summarize our experience with Matoke in comparison to our previous experience - for the preparation phase and also during the tour itself.
1. During the preparation time, the personnel was responsive, precise and efficient. Emails were answered within the 24 hours which does not usually happen with other tour operators from Africa, our wishes were accepted whenever possible either in respect to places that we preferred to visit or in respect to the type of accommodation or mode of travelling.
2. The tour was carried out following the plan, and the unexpected problems were resolved efficiently, on the best possible way. Importantly, we had a competent, knowledgeable and helpful guide.
Based on our whole experience, I can certainly recommend Matoke tours as the best tour operator that we encountered on our tours in Africa so far.

Our new friend in Arusha, Tanzania.
My old friend from university Erik Berkelmans advised me to ignore travel agencies in my home country, instead to directly contact Christopher Samwel in Arusha to make all arrangements for a safari trip for my family of four (2 kid aged 12 and 10). I'm still grateful to Erik for this advise. Arrangements were easily made and confirmed via email, money was transferred in good faith, we were picked up at the airport by Christopher for a nine day guided adventure in a private land cruiser. We ended up naming our safari trip 'Cat Counting Season'; "You're very lucky" Christopher repeatedly said at our various encounters with leopards, cheeta's and lions. This might be, but I'm convinced that his talent as a guide and his network 'in the field' enforce a certain level of luck. Furthermore he is a great guy full of stories, fluent in English, fond of our kids, a nice companion at the diner table and apparently an excellent operator since we've been in the most amazing lodges and tented camps. His price? Equal to the offer we got from a travel agency, but difference concerns a critical success factor: you will not know the person you will end up with as your guide (plus our spendings remain where they belong, in Tanzania). To the four of us, Christopher is our new friend.

A great experience to discover Kenya
Serene organized a perfect 4-days safari. We went to Masai Mara, lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate, a perfect mix of different experiences. The logistic was very well planned and Simon, the guide, has been extremely professional and competent, careful of all our necessities.
I definitely suggest Serene for a unique experience to discover the wild nature of Kenya!
