Amazing vacation with top tour planning and top guide A++++
After having done lots of research on the web for a good safari operator in Tanzania, we also found Makasa and were convinced from the very many excellent reviews.
Furthermore already the first contact was very helpful and already providing us with lots of good hints and tips even though we were still far away from booking a package.
They spend a lot of time planning and organizing "your" safari, so that you will have the individualized tour you are looking for.
Everything was then managed in an excellent way, the car was nice and ideal for animal game watching, the national parks we visited were all worth the visit, so were the accommodations.
Our guide, Khalibi, spoke very good English and knew tons about the local flora and the animals. In addition he was fun and we really had a great time.
We can totally recommend Makasa esp. if you are looking for a highly individualized safari!

*marvelous trip*
Our safari was a fantastic adventure, that we will always be in our minds and hearts. During our 3 days we saw not only all of the big five but so much more. It s the most beautiful and breathtaking environment you can ever imagine. We made the the safari in a big group with 7people and i would really recommend that. The guides were great fun to be with and i really felt they knew what they were doing and were doing it with all of their hearts. They could tell us so much and i felt always safe with them. Everything was well organized and the food and equipment up to western standards, and also very delicious (not talking about the equipment here).
If you are staying in tanzania you really have to make a safari and i would surly recommend you to go with this company for us it was just the right choice so we could truly enjoy this marvelous trip

Masai Mara holiday trip
I was on one week break from my job, i came to know about ACZ Safaris from my friend. i went through their website and was interested with the 3 days Masai Mara safari. i am glad ACZ safaris guided me through choosing the best accommodation. Their experienced staff picked me from Nairobi town and took me to Masai Mara where i had an adventure experience of a life time. Through their guides, i was able to spot the big five animals. i like African Comfort zone Safaris because of the way they connect very well with clients.

I Can't Wait to Go Back
My trip was my first to Africa and it was so much more than I expected. We spent most of the trip in Namibia where I felt very safe the whole time. John’s knowledge of the area was invaluable and his attention to detail ensured our trip was relaxing and well organised! I’m already planning my next trip with John!

Unique, incredible safari with Armadillo Overland
Every aspect of the safari was amazing. The food was divine and the truck provides a unique and comfortable experience for game viewing. Chris was very knowledgeable in all the different aspects of the Bush and makes everyone feel relaxed and at ease. Wonderful experience, would definitly do it again.

Amazing time...highly recommended!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our 5-day / 4-night private safari. Kioko was a phenomenal guide--very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the country, the culture, etc., and also very flexible in the schedule and amenable to our interests. The booking process was seamless, and the parameters of the safari we were quoted were exactly as they played out.
In our safari we saw Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakaru, and Masai Mara, and each offered something special...from the massive herds of grazing animals against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, to the birds, baboons, and lions (3 large males within 10 feet of us!) in Nakaru, and of course, to the massive variety of animals (hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, more of all of the above) in the Mara. The lodging was very comfortable and the food was excellent (and plentiful) at each of the locations that we stayed at. We really have no complaints and are already thinking about another trip to Kenya.
Thank you Kioko, Noah, and Wildebeest Safaris for an amazing time!

Excellent Service all over
I had fortune of booking my safari with Hello Tanzania for 2 night/3 day safari in Serengeti in November 2015. From the moment I sent the inquiry Mwajabu Sultan, owner of Hello Tanzania, responded immediately and was in constant communication all the times. She was able to to offer a very great deal on last minute safari booking. Also, from the time of booking the safari, she always kept me updated with all the details. I originally planned to book a hotel close to Dar airport for my short 6 hour layover. However, for some reason my hotel booking did not made it to hotel. Even before I landed in Dar airport, Mwajabu called the hotel and as soon as she found I had no reservation, she proactively booked another hotel and called me as soon as I landed in Dar airport @ 1:30 am to check on me. I never have seen this level of customer service even from top of the line hotels/companies like four seasons etc. Simply outstanding. The driver, Dulla was with me from the time he picked me from airport and stayed at hotel grounds to drop me again in Dar airport for my 7 am domestic flight to safari. Also, on my return, Mwajabu offered to pick me up and transfer to my 1 night hotel stay in Dar at no extra charge. Again, this was not part of the original deal I had with Hello Tanzania, but Mwajabu went above and beyond to make my first ever Safari trip a memorable one.
I highly recommend Hello Tanzania for anyone who is looking for an unforgettable Safari experience. Even if you are a seasoned traveler, you should give Hello Tanzania a try to experience their outstanding customer service experience.
All in all, Hello Tanzania is simply outstanding. I highly highly recommend Hello Tanzania to everyone.

Nairobi National Park is a wonderful introduction to East Africa - beautiful animals & environment.
I was pleased to find an area with abundant visible African mammals, birds and reptiles so close to Nairobi. It was easy to arrange transportation and a guide who drove me through the area pointing out large mammals and typical east Africa birds. My rhinoceros sighting in Nairobi National Park was the best of the trip. I also saw zebra, lions, bateleur, and many more often in a nicely photographable setting. I have recommended this area to friends traveling to East Africa and will continue to do so. I hope to return.

Review about Okavango Delta by Ross
The Okavango is a beautiful place, and there's nothing like a boat ride through all the twisting waterways where crocodiles lurk and elephants munch the fibrous stalks on shore. I think the high season (July-August) is probably not the best time for birders to visit here -- I imagine there's more bird life during the migratory seasons.
