Anthony was perfect for what we had chosen to do. He was friendly and knowledgeable.
Although Anthony was a little bit late and we had a bit of a queue to get into the park our day was perfect. We asked to see Rhinos and there they were. Then a lion walked down the road. We took some fabulous photos and Anthony was very obliging in position of the sun for photography. The Sheldrick Trust experience was fabulous as was the giraffe centre. Thx Anthony

The tour operator provided an exceptional experience, with seamless organization
We had an unforgettable experience with Tanzania Good Friends Safaris! From start to finish, their communication was prompt, clear, and professional, ensuring we felt prepared and excited for our trip. The service exceeded our expectations—our safari guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes, as well as attentive and personable, making every moment of the safari enjoyable.
The tour itself was flawlessly organized, taking us to breathtaking locations where we encountered the Big Five and other amazing animals up close. After the thrilling safari experience, we relaxed in beautiful Zanzibar, where the arrangements for accommodations and activities were equally seamless. The beaches were stunning, and we had the perfect mix of adventure and tranquility.
In terms of value for money, this was truly exceptional; we felt every dollar was well spent for the level of care, expertise, and the sheer magic of the experience. Whether you're looking to explore Tanzania’s incredible wildlife or enjoy the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, we wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania Good Friends Safaris for their reliability, professionalism, and attention to detail!

Exceptional
Our travel planner, Natasha, listened to our needs made suggestions and was impressively available whenever we asked for her time. Each of the lodges were unique and the trip went very smoothly. So many memorable highlights. The museum in Rwanda, the gorilla trekking, the sunrise and singing wake-up in Virunga lodge, the hot air balloon ride. All the lodges were amazing and the service and food exceeded our expectations. I wish we had spent 2 days in Ngorongoro Crater but we had time restrictions. We so appreciated Natasha's keeping in touch throughout our trip.

Very professional and good time managers
I have every positive thing to say about this tour agency. Ephie tailor-made a tour in accordance with our request. Their price was relatively lower as compared to other companies yet their services were never compromised. Ephie came to meet us at the airport where he briefed us about our safari and handed us over to Edwin who was going to be our guide. Edwin is a talented story teller and a keen driver. Since we took a private tour, he allowed us to decide when we wanted to go out for game drives. He was always ready to help whenever we didn't understand something or had challenges. My family is happy and we thank Magwar Escapades for making our dream safari come true. We highly recommend this company to anyone planning to have a Kenyan Safari.

I heartily endorse..
From beginning to end, Awuor Escapades' 5-day Best of Kenya Safari Adventure was amazing. Jonathan was a great guide who offered intriguing insights on Kenya's animals and culture, and Lencer made the booking procedure easy. The pop-up minivan's game drives were exhilarating, with up-close interactions with lions, giraffes, and elephants. The lodgings offered great meals and service and were conveniently placed. We heartily suggest this safari, which was the ideal way to experience Kenya's natural splendor!

Experienced
Our guide Khalifa was very friendly, knowledged and very experienced. He answered our endless questions, drove very smoothly, gave us flexibility with different options for the game drives and thanks to him, we saw many animals and learned about them. We’d definitely recommend going on a tour with him, thank you for the tour!

The best in the business
My husband and I had the pleasure of taking the 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee experience tour with Nature Connect Safaris. From my initial inquiry until the tour was complete, I had excellent communication from Francis regarding our itinerary, including a packing list and information on obtaining our Ugandan tourist visas. He was very proactive, and he replied quickly and thoroughly to my emails. I felt completely informed and well-prepared for our trip. Our guide, Sam, made this the best trip we have ever taken. His friendly and kind personality set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable journey. He is extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much from him about not only wildlife, but also the history and culture of Uganda. I highly recommend Nature Connect Safaris Uganda and would love the opportunity to travel with them again.

Exploratory Safari
The exploratory safari provided the ideal mix of cultural exploration and adventure. Robert led the way as we traveled to isolated areas of Kenya, where we saw breathtaking animals and interacted with the local populace. Jackson's excellent planning made sure we were taken care of at every turn.

Great fun with the best guide!
Four of us booked a private safari with Kilipath for three nights and four days, and it was incredible! We visited the parks and the crater (seriously, don’t miss the crater!), and Hamza, our driver, was amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the Big Five and so much more. With his experience and great communication with other drivers, he got us to all the best spots. The team even surprised us with a cake and champagne at the airport on our last day to celebrate my wife’s birthday- such a thoughtful and personal touch! Huge thanks to Kilipath for making it all so special. A lifetime of memories!

Amazing Value, Great Communication, Incredible Wildlife
A huge shoutout to Joel, who felt more like a reliable friend than just a safari organizer. I highly recommend Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris to anyone planning a safari trip in Serengeti areas. From inquiries and booking to pick-ups, briefings, and the actual safari—right up until we returned to our hotel—everything ran on time, allowing us to maximize our safari experience. We even lucked out with an awesome shared group—it was so much fun meeting new people along the way.
Joel’s response time is exceptional, unlike many other operators who slow down once you’ve paid a booking fee. He also went above and beyond when a flight of mine got canceled, actively monitoring the situation and offering practical tips. Plus, he explained a lot about Arusha, our city hub. Thanks to all this, we managed to spot the Big Five—truly unforgettable. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly option with five-star service!
