Absolutely stunning with an abundance of beautiful wildlife living in their natural surroundings
We chose a 3 day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara with Mountain Warriors, which certainly didnt disappoint. We were met at Arusha Airport by Osama who took us to our first park which was Tarangire. The place was beautiful we encountered many elephants, giraffes, zebra but didn't see any lions here. The second day we were picked up and taken to the Crater which was absolutely amazing. The drive down into the crater was amazing and the views spectacular. We saw elephants, many zebra and gnus, hippos and rhinos, hyena, warthogs and a lion and some lionesses, it was the best day, we stopped for a picnic lunch at a small watering hole which had hippos in it, it was idyllic. The last day we were again picked up early and taken to Manyara which had many monkeys and baboons there, we also saw elephants, bison, zebra, gnus and a lioness with her two cubs which was a fabulous sight. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed the safari, which was very good value for money. The hotel we stayed at for the two nights was beautiful and the food delicious. The guide/driver Osama, was very knowledgable and he kept us safe at all times, even when an elephant decided to turn and come towards our vehicle! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mountain Warriors to anyone wanting to part take in a safari in Tanzania. Five stars from us, thank you.

Wonderfull landscape, friendly people
We spent 2 weeks in Sansibar, a wonderfull island, clean, safe and easy to travel (some roads can be difficult to drive with a rental car, we had a driver) and we made a 3 day Safari on main land. The organization was perfect (flights, accomodation, 3 parcs with amazing wild life). We can recommend our tour operator "faithfull adventure" for safaris.

Not reliable and communicative
We believe we were scammed by Croy Mara.
We booked a sharing safari months ago in June for our trip in October. Since we got in contact she pushed us to pay fast even if we were busy at work. Once we payed... She didn't send more information until the week before to start our journey when I asked for more details about the pick up place and time... Then she said she is not running our safari for that price because no one join so she wanted me to pay extra for a private safari or to cancel and refund. I asked for refund... And never got it. We try to contact and she doesn't reply.
I would give 0 stars if possible.
Never send any money in advance!!!

Extraordinary!
I recently completed a week journey through Ethiopia with Ethio Backpacker Tours, and it was truly unforgettable. The first three days in the Danakil Depression showcased the extreme beauty of one of the hottest places on Earth. From there, we spent three days exploring the Omo Valley, experiencing the vibrant culture of its diverse tribes and finally a city tour of Addis Ababa.
Thank you Gashaw for such an extraordinary adventure!

World Class Service for a once in a lifetime experience!
To celebrate the 2023 New Year my partner and I decided to book a Safari with Kalahari Tours in Chobe National Park, Botswana, and it was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, the tour operator made us feel like we were in the best hands. They were incredibly humble yet offered world-class service throughout the entire trip.
The safari itself was breathtaking. We saw everything from elephants to lions, and the guides were so knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the wildlife and the park's ecosystem. Each day felt like a new adventure, with stunning sunrise and sunset game drives, and the boat cruise along the Chobe River was truly magical. The hospitality and care shown by the entire team made this trip one to remember.
The accommodations were comfortable and well-situated to offer a unique stay within the park. Every detail was taken care of, from delicious meals to thoughtful touches that made the experience extra special.
I highly recommend this tour operator for anyone looking to explore Chobe National Park. Their dedication to creating an unforgettable experience really sets them apart. I hope to return one day—it’s a place that leaves you with memories for a lifetime!

Best Experience EVER！
I recently had the privilege of embarking on a safari in Tanzania, and I can confidently say it was one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life. The breathtaking landscapes, the sheer abundance of wildlife, and the vibrant African culture left me speechless—but what truly elevated this trip to an unforgettable adventure was our exceptional guide, Alex. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands, and he exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
ALEX was not just a guide; he was a passionate storyteller, an encyclopedic source of knowledge, and a master at navigating the diverse terrains of Tanzania. His enthusiasm for the wildlife and environment was contagious, and he took the time to share insightful details about every animal we encountered, from the majestic lions lounging under acacia trees to the playful elephant herds at the watering holes. We were fortunate to see the "Big Five" early in the trip, and each sighting felt magical, thanks to ALEX’s expertise in tracking and understanding animal behavior.
But what made the experience even more special was his ability to cater to our interests and make the journey truly personal. Whether we wanted to pause longer to capture a sunset or learn about the migratory patterns of wildebeest, he was patient and accommodating, ensuring we got the most out of every moment. His deep respect for the natural world shone through in how he approached the animals—always maintaining a safe and respectful distance, while also providing us with front-row seats to some of the most remarkable scenes of wildlife in action.
Beyond his knowledge of the animals, Alex also shared fascinating insights into Tanzanian culture and history, making our trip feel even more enriching. He spoke of local customs, the Maasai people, and the importance of conservation efforts in the region, giving us a deeper appreciation of the interconnectedness of the environment and the people who call this land home.
What also impressed us was his keen eye for photography. He seemed to know exactly where to position the vehicle for the best lighting and angle, allowing us to capture stunning photos that will serve as lifelong memories. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for his job made us feel like we were on an adventure with a friend rather than just a guide.
The logistics of the trip were seamless, thanks to Alex. He always had everything well-prepared, from cool drinks during the heat of the day to knowing the best spots for lunch with spectacular views. We felt safe, cared for, and completely at ease throughout the entire safari.

Very well organized
We did a 5 Days safari with Axis Africa. Our tour guide was Geeman. Everything was planned very well, our highlight of the trip was seeing a cheetah upclose. We covered Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha lake and finally Amboseli. It was a wonderful trip as we saw herds and prides of animals. The stays inside the parks were super amazing

a wonderful Sarari trip, highly recommend
We came back from our Safari tour with Serengeti Smile about 1 week ago, the tour was truly an unforgettable experience! We were able to see all big fives, and the great migration (for 2 times!)!
Our great tour consultant Erick took the time to understand our preferences, budget, and travel goals. He provided insightful recommendations, the itinerary was meticulously planned. What impressed me most was his responsiveness. Anytime we had a question or needed adjustments, Erick was quick to reply and always offered solutions. It made the entire process stress-free!
Our fantastic guide Edward Frank is incredibly knowledgeable and experinced, sharing different animals knowledges added so much depth to our journey; he had a knack for finding animals and the best spots to watch the migration, we saw everything on our list, and we saw twice great migrations with very short wait time everytime; he is patient, moving the vehicle many times to let us have a best spot to watch the animal and take photos; What I appreciated most was his attention to detail. He tailored the tour to our interests and was always open to question.
Overall, I highly recommend Edward Frank and Erick for anyone looking to experience Safari in a unique and enriching way.
Great place and great experience
We are deeply impressed by Safarilinks driver Victor who prioritized our safety over the completion of the journey. When unforseen circumstances arose, he made the decision to halt and offered alternative solutions. This made us feel safe, protected and valued. We highly recommend this service.
