You want to use this company!
If you are traveling to Tanzania to do a Serengeti safari and use a company other than Lights on Africa, you are missing out on an incredible and unforgettable experience! Peniel and his various guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. My brother and I went on a safari in the Serengeti by way of Ngorongoro Crater. We were astounded by the number and quantity of animals that we saw in both places! The proximity of the jeep to the animals was unexpectedly close! We had lunch (excellent food thoughout the trip) next to elephants and breakfast near the wildebeests during their great migration.
Peniel was very accommodating of our desires and worked to make our itineary exactly how we imagined (even adding a few days for us on Zanzibar). He even provided us with some great surprise dinners when we were in country. We took a chance booking our adventure through Lights on Africa as it is not a typical "big name" tour company, but we were not disappointed in any aspect of our travels.

Thirdtime with Simba
This year it was the third time I travelled with Simba. The first two times I booked in Holland and the last straight with Simba. In Holland they have a complete journey and its not easy to chance things as I would. I travel alone so easy to make little chance. The last time I booked straight via internet . Because I cannot walk very good there where special whishes from me. I try to make my own journey with whishes and sent it to them. I know that there are things that maybe is not possible if you cannot walk very good. Together with Arif (and I hear later my guide, same as the other 2 times) we made the trip. Every time an ok from Tz or me and than we had all ok. The trip was more than marvelous. Have been everywhere I like to come, saw so many animals too, in all different ways. Alive and also dead, vultures and hyeans eating a zebra, but also that a little wildebeest is born and after 13 minutes, the little one can walk, more than amazing. . But also visit Detoga and Hadzabe tribes.
For next year, 2016, I like to see the migration at Maasai Mara and again we made together my trip, also again with my whishes. I cannot wait till july, But the program is so nice again, it wil be amazing again.
If you travel alone or you have whishes, they can make it for you and you have the time of your live.
I can give only 5 stars but 10 is better

Great 5 Day Camping-Safari with friendly and fun guides
We booked our Safari (for 2 person) from home. Therefore, it was really great that Jessica, who works in the office, replied us quick and in detail and answered all our questions. Even during our safari she checked on us via phone calls to hear if everything was alright.
Our Jeep was really new and super clean and the tents were cozy and good against the cold during nighttime. Food during all 5 days was delicious, fresh (we even stopped at local women on the market to buy vegetables) and always more than enough! Our cook was very friendly and managed cooking even in the full kitchens of the campgrounds.
Our guide/driver Sam was always good for a joke and gave us some background information about the animals and other things. He informed us every evening about the next days plan and had a chat with us in the evening.
During the Safari we saw a lot of animals! Especially, because Sam was listening to the radio announcing where animals were. Due to his experience we were at the right spot all the time. He also always kept appropriate distance to the animals so that they are not disturbed.
So we had a great time! :-)
The only thing to critics are the stops at various souvenir shops on the way to the parks. (But every tour company does them). This was annoying but could be used to stretch legs and go to the toilet.

fantastic!
Recently returned from safari in Tanzania with my mother. From the start Brian at EWA answered every question within hours and planned our trip perfectly as per our requests. our guide, Amiri, was fantastic - friendly and funny, knows every animal, bird, plant and insect in Tanzania and is also a great driver!
The camps were great - comfortable, clean and beautifully located with amazing staff and chefs.
We got to see everything we hoped for and then some (we planned our trip according to the wildebeest migration). Amir was extremely sensitive to our needs and we were treated like royalty.
We will definitely use EWA next time we are in Tanzania!

3 Day Masai Mara safari
Jacinta at Breezy Tours was very accommodating. She always responded to emails promptly. The accommodation in Masai Mara was comfortable and the safari was excellent, we saw The Big 5, which was very exciting. The only issue was pick up was late. However we still got to do everything included in the safari. Jacinta met me in Nairobi on the last day and stayed with me until it was time for me to go to the airport (about 4 hours)

Gorilla trekking - Bwindi
Richard organised my Gorilla permit for me and I had a driver from Gatatu Safaris for the day of my safari. Richard responded to all emails promptly and was very accommodating to budget and dates. My driver Dale was friendly and safe. I would, and have, recommended Gatatu to friends. I paid for my permit via a bank deposit, Richard acknowledged the money was received and arranged my permit with no problems.

Phenomenal safari led by best-possible professionals who truly know and love the animals!
Amazing Safari - focus on the animals, led by knowledgeable, kind guides.”
I very highly recommend a safari led by the Bekker brothers - particularly if you're interested in seeing and learning about the incredible animals in Kruger. Bernhard and Hennie Bekker will make this an unforgettable experience for you given their tremendous knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness.

Every aspect of our trip was excellent, all communication with Robert Francis was prompt and accurate. Whilst on our trip all transfers, tours, flights, ran like clockwork.

Excellent and Experienced Service
We booked our vacation with Thomas and were very very happy with all of the service and information he had given us. The actual experience was non other than spectacular. All the accommodations and tours went as planned and was even better than we expected. My favorite was the Serengeti what an epic adventure. Although Zanzibar was a close runner up. I would recommend Visittanzania Safaris to all my friends and family.
A once in a life time vacation!!!!

well planned, very good organization, wonderful trip to Tanzania
My family and I came to Tanzania with Aardwolf agency and they did a great job of taking care of us every step of the way. The trip was a trip of a life time and we enjoyed it very much.
