Absolutely amazing for wildlife
I have recently returned from the holiday of a lifetime. What an experience - the Serengeti surpassed all expectations. I was amazed at how close the animals - especially the big cats - came to our vehicle, walking in between cars and even sitting on the spare wheels. I had time to compose my photographs as all animals just carry on as ‘normal’ - they don't run away as soon as a car stops. Each day was the best day - even if you see the ‘same’ animals, they’ll be doing something different. The weather was pleasantly hot but not humid and I think October was the perfect time to visit as it’s not peak season and therefore not too crowded.
We visited Tarangire and Manyara parks too - both fascinating in their own way - the former for the vast amount of elephants and the latter for its baboons. The area around Lake Natron was very hot - but if you’re going for the flamingos, make sure you visit at the right time! We didnt! The Ngorongoro crater was stunning too - and luckily we did see flamingos there!
I was interested in visiting some villages and tribes but sceptical about how genuine they are. The emphasis was definitely on selling their trinkets over sharing their culture.
Don’t worry about spending a fortune on ‘khaki’ clothes - as you won’t be getting out of your vehicle you don't need to be camouflaged. But I wouldn’t wear overly bright clothes.
All in all a wonderful destination for animals.

Simply Wow! The beauty, the wildlife and the tent camping was wonderful! Next time I will stay longer and explore more of this beautiful park!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Lee Ann Parden
This is a much smaller park, we enjoyed it, but I would probably skip this park next time. I think it's worth seeing at least once.

AMAZING, FUNNY, PERSONABLE TOUR GUIDE
Me and my best friend booked a tour with Augustino. The best trip we have ever taken! A week long safari in Tanzania! Where do I begin.. from the food to the company to the accommodations, I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. I am smiling writing this review because all of the amazing memories are flooding back. By the end of the trip everyone felt like family. The food was prepared by a professional team. There were options for everyone and enough food to feed a family! Breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert exceeded my expectations every day. Accommodations were clean, and everyone was extremely hospitable!! The tents were sturdy enough to keep a lion out!! Haha
Seriously though I was apprehensive at first sleeping in the savannah and doing a budget safari but I was very pleasantly surprised. I didn't see a single bug in my accommodations (very important for me) Worth every single penny and more through and through!! Augustino was the best guide we could have asked for, he delivered on every front!! We laughed, sang, danced, ate and made so many unforgettable memories. Thank you Augustino!!!

Very relaxed and well organized
We had a wonderful time at Sekekama camp on our 4 day Safari. We saw so many different animals out on safari and also in camp, and had such a great combo of adventure and down-time to relax. The camp was so cozy, staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, and our experience was everything we hoped for.

Very helpful and kind
First of all, thank Winnie the tour operator, who organised our trip and helped us, by telling us which safari should we do because they all have their own particularity and choose which one suits us more.The selection was perfect (Mikumi-Ruaha) because we saw a lot of animals and especially hippos and lions who are our favourites. Also, many thanks to our guides Michael and danford, who weren’t only our guides but we became good friends. The safari was fantastic but they made it for us much better, along the secret conversation we had while eating😂.In conclusion, it was once life time experience, I recommend everyone to go on a safari and preferably with Kihindo tours and especially with those 2 guides. I have already recommended it to my friends and relatives. See you soon brothers, greetings from ILIAS,ILIAS and Nicolas.
P.S. danford have a good marriage,
Michael don’t stop being an impala.

Excellent Kilimanjaro Solo Trekking
My solo Kilimanjaro trekking experience with Mboni Adventures was not only challenging but wonderfully rewarding. I cannot thank Jackson enough for putting together such an excellent trip that went flawlessly from start to finish
My guide Joseph was amazing, he really made the experience unforgettable with his genuine care, experience and knowledge of the Machame route and a nice person to be around on the trail. He led his team of porters and cook to a wonderful support system that ensured I was safe, secure and comfortable.
A big vote of the thanks to the entire Mboni Adventure team for would have been impossible to summit without their support. I will be coming back to Tanzania for another adventure!

Unforgettable Tanzania
The trip to Tanzania was absolutely fantastic, particularly because of the amazing action packed game drives with guide Benson and also because of the super great resorts that we were booked in. We enjoyed the boat safari, fishing, bird watching and the walking safaris in addition to the game drives, which all enhanced the experience in a big way.
Selous is like no other place we have been to as there was always a new experience waiting to be discovered. We will definitely come back for another adventure.

Very professional
It was my second time travelling with them, this time with my family. From the moment I contacted them via mail for initial infos they have been very professional, they replied quickly with all the details I needed.
The tours are always very well organized, the driver/guide very polite, well prepared and on time.
