Hallmark were accommodating with our requests. More insight into our tour would of been helpful.
1. Our guide Anothony was an okay guide but not very accommodating at times. To start, he invaded our privacy at Lewa after the night before (our 1st night on tour) he made bad remarks about the company and that he personally wouldn't stay there as they were set in there ways & not accommodating to other safari companies like Hallmark. The next day he informed my husband & I that he was coming with us for the 2 days. I asked him why & how? He told me he told Lewa that we wanted our guide to join us. this wasn't the fact all. Quite the opposite being frank with you. We paid the big bucks so we could get a different perspective from another guide & also have our own privacy for the next 2 days. He came with us on our game drives as well after we requested we get at least one game drive on our own to enjoy the expeiernce one on one with our guide. 2/ After requested from the start our planning with Levis that we wanted to do the Hells Gate. Anthony was not thrilled he had to take us there after our night in Nevashahs. We informed him days out that's what we wanted to do. We ended cycling the Hells Gate which in fact was a highlight for us & declined going on the boat ride to see the hippos. 3/ Our last leg of the trip - Rwanda was in fact organised by Magic Safaris, not Hallmark Planners. this was not mentioned to us at the time of booking. however, our guide was outstanding!! 4/ Overall, we are glad we paid the extra $'s to have most of our game drives in a four wheel drive truck as to a van with various guides. Having the same guide & van for the entire trip would of been terrible. 5/ Apologies on being so direct, however it is best you know as I am in business myself & would like to be informed rather then not so it doenst happen to somebody else. Anthony didn't do himself any favours by bad mouthing another company to us, especially on our first night after shouting him a drink at Opejeta for his B'day on our arrival. His attitude did not sit well with us, especially after just meeting him. He did in fact apologise after our 2 days there that he was wrong with his judgment. Lewa was outstanding & highly recommend it. 6/ We felt secure with our booking having Safari Bookings as the reprensative of the company & made the booking so much more reassuring. 7/ Also a note, we never received a questionnaire at the end of our trip with Anothony, hence me informing you. Magic Safaris on the otherhand did. I highly recommend them & will to others.

Trip to Ssesse Islands, Uganda with MJ safaris
MJ Safaris booked us a fun weekend at Brovad Sands lodge. Everything went perfectly, from the preparations in Kampala (we were a group of about 20 people), to the boarding of the ferry (MJ Safaris organised that too), to arrival and stay at the lodge. The guide remained with us throughout the weekend, took some of the group on a nature walk, and it was all perfectly organised. No problems with the booking or the weekend. Thanks MJ, best holiday I have had in a long time.
Fun filled weekendin Masai Mara.
Trip with Sun Splash Safaris was excellent. I had a great time and we got the opportunity to see the lions and cheetahs of Masai Mara up-close. The food and the accommodation was decent for the price we paid. So great value for money.

Best service in all of Tanzania, and that means something!
We met Mega Adventures' owner through the 'Kilimanjaro Grand Hostel', which is a great place to stay in Moshi by the way! Back to Mohammed Atik a.k.a. Dodoo. We stayed in Moshi for 3 weeks and during that period Dodoo helped us to see Tanzania's most beautiful hotspots. We booked a three-day safari trip, six-day Machame-route Kilimanjaro climb and one-day self-drive with Mega Adventures. All were amazing experiences, Dodoo took all time needed to make us feel comfortable and showed his patience even after trying more than 10 pair of shoes and still haven't find to right one.
Everything was arranged perfectly and the service Mega Adventures provides is astonishing. Also we spoke to more of the safari guides and they seemed to be just the guys to get you to spot everything you want!
I really recommend Mega Adventures to everyone willing to see the best of Tanzania!

Perfect Weekend Getaway: Lions/Rhinos spotted :)
We booked a 2 day, 1 night tour to lake Nakuru for 6. The price was great and the experience was amazing! Lovely stay at Sarova Lion Hill: great food and service. Our guide John was great: arrived promptly to pick us up and took us to some great view points throughout the tour. He is very knowledgeable about the animals in the park and very pleasant. He managed to spot us lions on two separate occasions on our last game drive. WOuld book again! Thank you for an amazing experience :)

Best tour ever !!!
MJ Safaris is superclass from time management , coordination , knowledge about products and activities in detail.
I was so impressed to learn and see more birds .
The safari started early enough and we had stop overs atleast to ease ourselves and stretch this was just the best, I didn't feel fatigued and we managed to do all our activities on time and even had some extra activities that MJ offered ''the community traditional dance performance'' so memorable.
I will surely travel with you again and my friends have already booked with you for their holidays this year because I appreciated your service. Keep it up!!!

Impressive Safari
This was an excellent safari in all respects. I particularly enjoyed Dave’s friendly and outgoing personality, and appreciated his impressive detailed knowledge of the wildlife. He is also skilled at spotting wildlife and in seeking out the best viewing spots. The group stayed in comfortable permanent tents in Kruger National Park, toured in an almost new safari vehicle, and savoured the quality meals included in the package. The BBQ that Dave prepared while we were out on the night safari with a park ranger was a memorable, first class meal. The stops the last day in the Blyde River Canyon area were an unexpectedly scenic highlight. This a fast-paced tour with lots packed into each day, so be prepared for long days on the road. After reading the reviews of others here, I didn’t bother to check out the competition, as I knew this was the tour for me, and it certainly met my high expectations.
