Excellent service and hospitality!
We picked only one-day safari to Ngorongor crater and although it was very short and budget option, we are extremely happy to choose Face of Africa Adventures service. First of all all staff including the owner (greetings to you Hamadi) were very friendly and helpful regarding creating itinerary and they did everything what was needes to make our experience unforgetable.
Even though we choose one-day safari, Hamadi offered us accomodation for the night before safari in a logde next to the crater so that we didn't need to spend time (ca. 2,5 h driving) for getting to crater on the safari day but we did it previous day and spent night in camp which was an unusual experience itself.
The service was great. Everything was as agreed before. Since they have many options for safari, from budget to luxury ones I surely recommend this company for all kind of travelers, who wish to have unforgetable experience among wild animals in Tanzania! Thank you a lot.

Beautiful Maasai Mara!
After a recommendation from a friend we took a 3 day safari with Dennis and Richard as the driver. They were both friendly and we had a lot of fun in the car. They always had us on location when animals were about, we saw all the favourites and more!
This company was excellent value for money and we were so happy with what we got out of the trip. We're even looking to book another tour with them soon, Thanks so much!

Great safari & Kilimanjaro trek with Kilimanjaro Trekking Mate
We did a 7-day Machame route Kilimajaro trek and 5-days safari (Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater) with Kilimanjaro Trekking Mate. As we had much time to prepare the trip locally in Moshi (volunteered for 5 weeks there), we spoke to many operators and Nick & his crew stood out. Very professional (great briefings, daily medical checks etc.), very high success rate (we climbed the summit, yeah :), and the whole team of porters, guides and chef were very friendly and fun! Same holds true for safari seeing all big fives, the migration and amazing nature. Highly recommended and really thankful for two amazing experiences!!!

Great safari guide/operator in Tanzania
I went on a one-week safari with Allen's company in June of 2017, covering the major parks in the 'northern circuit' of Tanzania. I would very highly recommend Allen Tanzania to anyone considering a safari in this part of the world.
Our guides during the trip were Allen and his son Emmanuel, both of whom are incredibly knowledgeable, conscientious, professional, and thoughtful. We saw a great diversity of wildlife during our trip, including all the highlights, and again and again Allen impressed with his ability to spot things both near and far. Allen and Emmanuel are also simply enjoyable people to be around.
A few highlights/points:
1) Allen was born in Tanzania, has decades of experience, and clearly knows these parks as well as anyone. I always felt like we had a plan and knew exactly where we were going.
2) We only got one flat tire during the entire trip, and we were back up and running within ten minutes.
3) Again and again, Allen went out of his way to make the trip comfortable for us. For example, we had a vegetarian/pescatarian in our group, and Allen always made sure that she had good options at every meal. And we accidentally left a pair of shoes behind at the lodge that we stayed at between Tarangire and Lake Manyara, and Allen somehow managed to get them sent ahead to the Serengeti, so that we were able to pick them up before the end of our trip. I could go on...
4) Communication with Silas, the company's office manager, was easy, fast, and clear, throughout the entire process of booking our trip.
Suffice it to say, this was a special trip, and a big part of that was due to Allen Tanzania. Everything completely met/exceeded our expectations; we got to see wildlife and a part of the world that we had never experienced before (and may never experience again); and we learned a lot from Allen, not just about nature and the parks but also the culture, history and politics of Tanzania. Again, highly recommended without reservations.

Great time with Raja Tours in Tanzania
The programm which was suggested by Raja tour was excellent and the driver for the game drive was very nice.
Kenya Safari
From start to finish, this tour was incredible! The booking process and correspondence with “It Started in Africa” was professional and always very prompt. We were collected exactly on schedule by Charles, our exceptional guide and driver for the tour. His general knowledge of the country, wildlife and culture provided for very entertaining and informative drives between the different destinations. Although the roads were at times very busy, Charles always remained calm and ensured we felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The tour itinerary was designed perfectly to ensure ample time for sightseeing, with enough flexibility to fit our needs. The range of accommodation we stayed at were fantastic. From luxury lodges to quirky lake-side retreats, were delighted with the locations, the excellent service and the atmosphere at each of the venues. The parks themselves were truly phenomenal! From panoramic vistas to once in a lifetime game viewing opportunities – including watching a cheetah hunt in progress – we were amazed at the variety and beauty of the landscape. This tour was well organized and perfectly executed and we would definitely recommend It Started in Africa for anyone wanting to experience the wildlife and wonder of Kenya!

from beginning to the end well organized.
Grace and Peter have given us all informations and more. They were very helpful and we felt safe everywhere.
We enjoyed the lodges. Unfortunately the lions on the trees were not to find. it was too dry and hot. Kampala was a great experience and we enjoyed the meal in a Ugandan restaurant without Musungu food and also the market.
Unfortunately, the day with our Godson couldn't start at the right time so we have lost half a day. But the good driver has done his best and we finaly enjoyed the trip.
Please correct my English. Thanks

One day Dinokeng safari
Elize and Johan were great to deal with, helping us out as a young couple who had been ripped off in South Africa previously. Johan was so warm and made me and my girlfriend feel at ease and comfortable instantly. We were picked up on time and Johan's passion and knowledge shined through to make it a truly enjoyable day, even thought we didn't see all we wanted.
Our only criticism is that we didn't book for a longer amount of time!!!
We will be back for a longer Kurger experience, and will definitely use flight of the eagle tours again. Thanks lot, J + D xx

Excellent Value on 2 person private tour
Regional did an excellent job, especially with the accommodations (they were all exceptional). We had a very knowledgeable driver and we saw the big 5. Their communication was good (not great)-- best to Skype them. They also should have given us better guidance about the timing of the Great Migration, as we would have timed our visit differently, but overall a wonderful trip, and would highly recommend them.
