Tripadvisor Safaris
I was on a business trip in Nairobi and contacted them after deciding that I would try to stay over for the weekend for a short Safari. The good reviews I could find here were key to pic “TripAdvisor safaris” as a choice and it was a very good choice indeed.
I got all the information I requested and arranged the trip based on my needs. They offered me what was more suitable for the time I had in Kenya and my interests. Very personal and friendly contact at all times.
The experience was really good. Driver/guide was very nice and professional. He tried his best to make the experience enjoyable and although a couple of times we were already back to the lodge he turned back to spot more animals (a rhino which is actually difficult to spot).
The lodge included in the package for the overnight stay was great and people there very nice and friendly.
I can only have good feedback for this experience. The only downside is that it is a bit short, if you have the time I recommend you to go for a longer trip. But if you're limited in time as I was and want to enjoy Masai Mara as much as possible this trip is perfect and will fulfill your expectations.
Thanks TripAdvisor safaris for everything

Review about Tarangire National Park by Thomas Kallmeyer
Wide open views, diverse habitats and wonderful accommodations as well as close proximity to the international airport make Tarangire easily accessible without air travel. We stayed at Treetops and enjoyed fine food and beverage, friendly staff and wonderful bird watching from our door. Trips into the park provided a wide range of plants and animals including close encounters with many of the expected mammalian and avian species. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

An amazing trip that exceeded my expectations. I hope to return.
Our trip was organized through &beyond and all aspects were well taken care of including a friendly staff, excellent accommodations including fine food and beverages and quality, educated and friendly guides. Our group consisted of 2 birders and 2 non-birders and each of our guides adjusted their style accordingly, somewhat satisfying the birders and more than satisfying the non-birders. As a birder myself I found the guides to be very knowledgeable but not quite on the cutting edge of birding as several different guides did make a few misidentifications of species. I certainly didn't hold this against any of them as their area of expertise is more general in nature. We stayed at Klein's Camp and Grumeti and supremely enjoyed both areas. Transportation by air was on time, dependable and with confident, friendly and skilled pilots. We arrived right after a good period of rain and had sunny days and a very green and verdant Serengeti. Although we did not visit during migration we saw the full range of expected mammals and a wide variety of avian life. The scenery was breathtaking, especially at Klein's Camp, which lies just outside the Northeastern corner of the park on a high mountain ridge overlooking a beautiful valley to the Northeast and the Serengeti to the West. I am a fairly well travelled individual and consider Klein's to be on of the finest accommodations I've experienced.

Always a pleasure to visit
Etosha National Park is one of Southern Africa’s best wildlife reserves. As with many such parks, what you see depends on patience and luck. However, in Etosha you will always see something interesting regardless of the season. There are many accessible waterholes where animals congregate in the dry winter season, although there is still plenty to see at other times of the year. We have visited Etosha twice, in late April/early May, and during our visit this year (2016) we were rewarded with the sight of eight elephants who walked right past us and a few minutes later we saw three cheetahs out in the open. All of this was a short drive from Namutoni Camp. The other good point about Etosha is that it is very large so it doesn’t feel crowded. The only downside, and it’s not a major issue, is that the camps inside the park are a bit tired and need an injection of money and better management. Despite that it is still a highly recommended place to visit.

Excellent service and friendly staff
Highly recommend Karibu World as a one-stop-shop to anyone traveling to Tanzania. We booked our 5 day safari and 7 days kilimanjaro trek through them and to say the least, we were extremely satisfied and loved our experience with them. Zulfikar from Karibu World was exceptionally patient and prompt in answering all our emails and queries (We must have written him over 60 enquiry mails :).
We were extremely happy with all the arrangements they made for us. From booking a hotel in Arusha, to planning our trek with our guide Isaac who took great care of us, to booking our Safari with Murudi who left no stone unturned to make sure that we get to see the famous 5 and more. Even the camps they booked for us during our Safari stay were really nice and impeccable.
To summarise, let Karibu World do all the work for you - pick best hotels, provide best guides and service; while you sit back and enjoy your unforgettable trip with them.

Amazing experience! It was very attentive and supportive
We had a really good experience with Swahili Paradise Tours. They were very supportive and attentive in every moment. We climbed the Kilimanjaro and after that we went to Zanzibar. Our contact person was Jimmy and he was very kind and professional.

Exciting Safari! Stunning nature and lots of wild animals!
The safari I made back then, was the best one I did so fare! It was a 3 day safari at Queen Elizabeth National Park with my family and friends. We spend two nights at Kazinga Channel Resort, a very nice accommodation with everything you desire. It was clean, food was delicious, and at night you could even hear the lions roar! Right next to the resort, there is a little lake with hippos in it. But you don't have to be afraid, there are some guards, caring for your safety during nighttime. One night there must have even been an elephant sneaking around the resort, so we could find his tracks in the morning.I also have to mention the professionalism of our tour guide Klaus. He is a very well educated guide, who has a great knowledge of animals and nature and explains everything patient to his clients. But also, he is very funny and always knows how to cheer you up and keeps you listening and excited for the trip. I am very thankful having him as our guide, it could not have been more interesting and funny with him. We left the resort and went on some game drives, where we were lucky to see lions, buffalos, giraffes, some amazing birds, elephants and so on. It was just stunning! We even did a little boat tour where we could see some hippos, elephants, crocodiles and thousands of beautiful birds again.
On our way back to Kampala we also did a chimpanzee tracking, which was an unique experience as well! Unfortunately, we only saw one chimpanzee, but we could hear them screaming and shouting and hitting some wood against a tree! It was very exciting but a bit exhausting too, chasing them all the way up and down through the forest ;)
All in all it was just a great experience! My family and me felt safe through all the time and we would directly do it the same way again, if someone would ask us.

Experience Kilimanjaro in a fantastic way!
We wanted to climb Kili on the Machame route and checked out lots of different companies that offered this trip.
Since we are from Germany it seemed easiest to just pick a german one but when we found Kilimanjarobrothers and started emailing with George we decided to go with the local company.
And it was a great choice!!!
We flew to Nairobi because tickets to Arusha were not affordable during the time we planned our trip. George helped organizing transportation and always replied kindly to all questions we had.
The trip itself was awesome. Thanks to our great guides Ibrahim and Joseph we made it up to Uhuru Peak even though there were very hard episodes during the climb they encouraged us to push our limits. Also they were looking out for our health condition. On the other hand they told us lots about the mountain, plants, animals, history of different tribes living there and we shared lots of laughs, had long conversations about culture, politics and personal stuff. Plus the whole crew of porters, cook and waiter were just great people that were always looking for our needs and did a fantastic job!
All in all a great tour that I can highly recommend! Ask for those two guides to lead you, they are awesome! Support this local company cause the competition is very hard and they deserve it!
