Well organised, affordable and saw so many animals!
My girlfriend and I completed a 5 day Serengeti safari with Roko. We picked this company due to its cheap pricing, flexible itinerary, private tour and good locations. We enjoyed the use of guesthouses and we well accommodated with lots of food and a chef throughout our trip. They were very accommodating if there were any issues and the organisation of the whole trip was exceptional with clear communication from Miranda. We were picked up from the airport and taken straight to safari where we saw lots and lots of animals. We had a driver along with Roko our guide which allowed him to spot countless animals. We saw everything we wanted to and more and was full of big day safaris. Our only thing that could be improved was some clearer information about the plan for the day, where we were driving and more information about the animals but being a traditional Masi Mara man Roko gave us good insight about his background as well. Throughly recommend this to anyone who wishes to travel Tanzania privately as we always felt cared for and looked after!!!

Amazing experience - lots of fun and learned tons!
We spend two weeks in South Africa, one with Benjamin as our guide and one self-drive but organized by him. Both weeks were just wonderful :)
Benjamin is a really great guide: He knows so much about animals, nature and also the history of the country. He's always in a good mood and adjusts plans based on our needs and interests. Communication with him was always very open, which both enabled a super smooth trip and allowed us to ask tons of questions. Besides amazing game drives in Krueger, walking around Johannesburg, Soweto and Blyde Canyon, we also enjoyed our cooking sessions to learn a bit about South African food (Braai for the win hehe) and relaxing drives with interesting political discussions!
Also the second week went super smooth: Everything was perfectly pre-booked by Benjamin (hotels, car) and he had given us so many recommendations of what to do that we didn't even have time to finish them all. Even when a small hiccup of a hotel required us to pay the night that should have actually already been pulled from Siya Phambile's account, Benjamin resolved this and transferred the money internationally to my account.
Thank you so much for this great experience, Benjamin. We'll definitely be coming back for a second trip with Siya Phambile!

A Dream Safari Come True in Kenya!
Our Kenya safari with Explorers was beyond expectations! Our guide, Peter, was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything from lions to rhinos up close. The lodges were luxurious and offered breathtaking views of the savannah. Each day was a new adventure, and we felt completely safe and well taken care of. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay unforgettable. I can't recommend this experience enough!

Fantastic Safari Experience with African Big Cats Safaris
We had an excellent time with African Big Cats Safaris on a 4-night/5-day private safari. The amount of time was perfect to visit the major parks—Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Manyara—without feeling rushed.
Our guide, Claus, was great. He was not only friendly and professional but also very knowledgeable, ensuring we saw a wide variety of animals and had great experiences at each park.
The lodges and camps selected for us were comfortable and well-maintained, providing a relaxing end to each day of safari.
Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely recommend African Big Cats Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized, private safari. We’ll definitely choose them again for our next trip.

A Magical Journey Through Tanzania's Best
Our family safari through Tanzania was magical! From the warm welcome in Arusha to the thrilling game drives, every moment was unforgettable. Tarangire National Park amazed us with its massive elephant herds and serene landscapes.
Ngorongoro Crater was a true wonder, offering incredible wildlife sightings, including black rhinos. The Serengeti's vastness and abundant wildlife created memories that will last forever. Highlights included spotting lions on the hunt and learning about the Leakey discoveries at Olduvai Gorge. Chef-prepared meals, comfortable lodges, and expert guidance made this journey truly special.

World class
Our Tanzania safari with Gurguru Safaris was an extraordinary adventure that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and beyond. The itinerary was expertly crafted, allowing us to witness all the Big 5 and big cats in their natural habitats. The star of our journey was our exceptional guide, Osbert, whose encyclopedic knowledge, storytelling skills, and keen eye for photography opportunities truly elevated our experience. The accommodations selected by Gurguru were outstanding, particularly the Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge, which offered an authentic and luxurious safari experience. Throughout our trip, the Gurguru team, including Peter demonstrated unwavering dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction. Our Gurguru Safaris trip peaked with a stunning Boxing Day hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. Expertly piloted by Moses, we soared above the savannah at dawn, marveling at golden-lit landscapes and diverse wildlife below. This serene yet thrilling experience provided unforgettable views, perfectly complementing our ground safari adventure. For an unforgettable Tanzanian safari that combines expert guidance, stunning locations, and unparalleled wildlife encounters, Gurguru Safaris is the perfect choice.

Best Experience Ever! Could not recommend a company more!
My girlfriend and I completed a 5 day mt Kilimanjaro hike via the marangru route. Aside from the fact this was the hardest thing we had ever done, it was also one of the most enjoyable due to Burigi Chato. Communication and organisation was clear from the get go with consistent emailing helping to setup the hike. Once we arrived at our hotel we were greeted by our guide in the lobby who talked us calmly through everything and made sure we had the proper equipment and understood why we needed it. The staff consisted of 5 porters, a chef and 2 guides and we couldn’t fault any of them. Our guides from the start ensured we were comfortable and put nerves at ease, the chef produced so many quality meals that fueled us well everyday and the porters were the nicest and friendliest on the mountain laughing and singing songs making every other group wish they had booked with us. We were always well informed and never rushed which is important and they were genuinely prepared for everything, including the tricky summit morning where they organised another porter to help us to the top along with bringing additional snacks and medication which ended up being the reason we were able to summit and overcome the inevitable altitude sickness. They were the friendliest and most well ran group on the mountain and in conversation with other groups it was obvious that they wished they had booked with us. I could not recommend a company more!
