an incredible experience
This trip to Tanzania was a pure wonder, an incredible experience.
Family stay, prepared with Stéphanie who combined safaris and a few days on the paradise island of Zanzibar. Very available and attentive to our project, Stephanie accompanied us very well to prepare this trip, both on the administrative level (visa, exchange, advice, luggage, etc ...) and on the program and we found her on site. Everything was perfectly organized, the flights, the transfers, the welcome of the guides ...
Each day was new discoveries full of beauty, emotions. Especially the 2 nights in tents of the "Into wild Serengeti tented camp" as well as the hot air balloon flight with night safari, which were magical moments. Housed in magnificent and peaceful lodges with a warm welcome, we ate very well there. A big thank you to Elinas our guide for sharing with us her knowledge and the beauty of her country and who made us admire up close all the animals of the savannah, even the most discreet. Thank you to him for being patient and taking the time to explain and answer the many questions of the teenager in the group😄.

Amazing experience in Masai Mara
The weekend in Masai Mara was amazing. Everything was perfectly organized. Our guide Papa gave everything during the Game Drive, so that we see many different kinds of wild animals. I would definitely recommend!

Efficient, knowledgeable and great fun
We had an amazing trip to South Africa including three weeks organised by Legend Safaris, during which time we visited Kruger National Park, Mala Mala, Umhlanga, Hluhluwe and Addo National Park. We wanted to use a local agent to organise the safaris, flights, hotels and car hire. We were absolutely delighted with Shaneen and his team, particularly Pravir and Bradley, who guided our first week. Pravir provided excellent photographic support in Kruger and Mala Mala. They whole team were very knowledgeable and great fun. We would highly recommend Shaheen and Legend Safaris, and hope to travel with them again in the not too distant future.

Excellent service and a great life time experience!
The safari was one of my most amazing experiences. It was a last-minute strategy, but it was the greatest. Thank you to Shebbie from Vision Safaris and Tours for organising everything and the itinerary to my liking in such a short period of time. The greatest and most professional. My experience with the serval wildlife was incredible. I managed to tick off one of my bucket list items by spending time with giraffes. And two nights at the jungle lodge.
Beside Tanzanian people are very friendly and nice. It’s a must to experience ❤️!

Fantastic safari yet again
Second time asking Jacob to arrange our safari
We requested the same driver (Salum) for both visits and he did not disappoint.
I would highly recommend speaking to Jacob from smilewithustours as he can tailor your safari to your needs and his prices are fantastic too!
Fully held our hands from hotel pick up in zanzibar, through the airport and the other side in Tanzania

We would definitely book another trip with Wilderness Horizon Safaris
We chose Wilderness Horizon Safaris to visit Lower Zambezi park and it was definitely a good choice, starting with great communication ( it was a last minute decision) ,pick up from the airport by super kind Daniel who was our driver all the way, great guide Jacob who kept impressing us with his knowledge and the chef Jabes who catered for our vegetarian needs with great imagination, everything was very professional. We stayed in a great lodge at Zambezi river where you could watch and listen to hippos from the deck. We saw so many animals, elephants, lions, buffalos, impalas,, bear ant, crocs. The night safari was amazing, we saw a different side of the wilderness. And because of the rainy season we have the whole park just to ourselves.
We chose 4d/3n safari and in comparison with other companies we think the price was very reasonable.
We loved every minute.

It’s about the guide
Picture yourself here. No other safari vehicles. Just you, your family or friends. And the amazing expanse of savanna and unforgettable memories. James Muchina at Wild Portraits Safaris is your key.
When you combine James’s knowledge of the various ecosystems with his deep love of sharing that information, you’re in for the most incredible safari. I came away with the renewed understanding of how woven together and interdependent all the various pieces of life are, not just in the Kenya parks, but worldwide.
If you’re looking for a guide whose enthusiasm enriches your safari experience, contact James.

Great value for money budget group joining safari & fantastic experience
I did the 10day combined Kenya & Tanzania group joining budget safari, as a solo female traveller, in Sept/Oct. The price I was quoted initially was the best of a number of different companies and it proved to be very good value.
Airport pickup and transfers were included in the cost. When I arrived at Nairobi airport, the plane went to a different terminal than expected, getting through the airport took over 2 hours and my phone wouldn't connect at the time to let Baboon know what was happening, but my collection driver Martin was still there waiting for me - my first positive!
The safari was effectively a 6day Kenya with one guide and group, followed by a 3-4day Tanzania safari with a different guide, group and all the logistics arranged via a different company (7 Wonders), so that we transferred from Namanga border to Arusha, Tanzania, via a public shuttle bus.
I was very lucky with all the animals I saw and the different encounters, which made my safari experience very special.
My guide in Kenya, Titus, worked very hard driving us everywhere between locations and in the parks, finding all the Big 5 animals and answering all the groups questions with excellent knowledge.
The only negative on the Kenyan part of the safari was a jeep breakdown on the penultimate day and we lost a few hours. I understand these things happen, but better communication about what was happening and what we could expect would have been appreciated while we sat in a hotel waiting to be picked up.
On the Tanzanian part of the safari, the only negative was that at the border we were told the name of the hotel we needed to get taken to in Arusha, but on arrival they weren't expecting us and the hotel staff worked very hard to find out we'd been booked into a different hotel and got us there. Again, better communication would have helped.
The budget safari in Tanzania, included a cook being with our group to prepare all our meals, as we stayed at basic campsites - to hear animals at night was amazing. Dixon was our chef and I can't speak highly enough of him. The food he made was gorgeous and plentiful. He was very caring, sensitive and considerate to take care of all our drink, food and camping needs.
The driver/guide in Tanzania was Innocent and he worked hard to find all the Big 5 animals and more for us, including experiencing a lion kill. His vehicle skills were excellent, both in mechanics to ensure the car was in top condition while we were in the middle of nowhere, and his careful, expert driving. He also made sure I got to the airport in time, even though some roads were shut for the Tanzanian President to travel along!
Overall, the cost was 5/5, service was 5/5, communication was 4/5, reliability was 4.5/5 and my overall safari experience was wonderful, some of the budget accommodation was better than I expected, the food offered was also better than expected, especially in Tanzania. A 10day safari is a little tiring, as the distances covered are massive and every day is an early start, but the rewards of the animals and experiences made me completely forget about any tiredness.
For me, if I could rate a 4.5/5 I would, but it was definitely better than 4/5 and it's one of my best travel experiences ever, out of many.
