You can never go wrong with Alman Africa safaris
I would chose Alman Africa safaris over and over again.
They perfectly planned my trip to Tsavo west this year. I had unforgettable experience during my trip for the 3 days.
Savannah Explorers took care of us, and every detail from the time we arrived to the time we left.
It was sincerely, the trip of a lifetime for myself, partner and my two adult kids! Micky curated our trip to perfection and our tour guide, Juma, executed it to perfection. He was very on point and knowledgeable about the area, culture, animals and birds. He took his work very seriously and made sure our expectations were met. I have the utmost respect for him and could not have been happier with his dedication and commitment to ensuring we were safe and well cared for.
We began our trip in Arusha, where Juma walked us through Arusha Center Market and to the Arusha Wisdom Training College which set the stage for understanding just how welcoming and friendly the Tanzanian people are and what a day in the life may look like. Day one we had a brief meeting with Juma about what we hoped to gain and experience from our trip. We were there for 2 weeks and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Northern and Central Serengeti, Lake Natron and Zanzibar. Each accommodation, the lodges and tented camps, were exceptional and accommodating. They were better than what we would experience in the States, in my opinion. I highly recommend the hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, that was indescribable. We didn't see Rhino and a Leopard but was very happy with all we did see. Another reason to return:).
We did not change any money, we were equipped with plenty of low denomination US $$ and had zero issues. Just make sure the dollars are crisp with no frayed edges. The long transfers could be a bit harrowing on the unpaved rough roads and dust but Juma made sure we would travel when we would encounter less traffic. We did not encounter any mosquitos and the weather could not have been better. We did not request luxury travel but that is what it seemed we experienced. My critical feedback would be to reduce plastic waste by having the operator supply filtered water in 5 gallon jugs instead of the single use plastic water bottles and reduce food waste by supplying smaller lunches.
I am happy we experienced all of the above which allowed me to decide where I would spend the bulk of my time the next time around.
Thank you Savannah Explorers!!

Professionals and easy communication, recommend them for sure!
Jambo! Thank you Lion King Adventures for this fantastic trip! Great experience for sure! We were 5 people and we are happy with the tour for two days - in Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Special thanks to Eugen. Very good in all the tours, great drive in the hard road of Ngorongoro, after the second day we have some free time so he went us to shopping center and to two small museums, it was interesting. We visited also Maasai village , but it looks like tourist trap and it could be skiped. Just one little remark, there could be some more info for the animals and the parks during the drive. But overall the experience was great and we are really happy with all. Eugen helped us to saw 4 of the big 5 :), and it was great. We catched great moments and saw really specail animals. We don't have a base to compare, this was our first safari from this kind, but I think all was good. Lion King are professionals and we recommend on 100% theis service - from the guide to all organisations. Also the lodge was perfect, 10/10. If we come back for longer safari in Serengeti, we will call them again :). Hakuna Matata!

Unforgettable safari with Akondo, perfectly organized by Boris and guided by amazing Richi!
We went on a safari with Akondo through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Boris took care of every detail, organizing everything perfectly. Our guide Richi was simply amazing – friendly, fun, passionate about nature, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and culture. Thanks to him, we saw animals we never imagined we’d encounter, always with respect for their environment and while making us feel safe and well taken care of. The itinerary, the service, and the atmosphere exceeded all our expectations. We would definitely do it all over again without a doubt!

6 nights 7 days Machame Kilimanjaro
Climbing Kilimanjaro with guides Epa and Odas from Migration Venture Africa was an unforgettable adventure. The entire team was bright, positive, and caring, filling the campsite with laughter and warmth. Epa’s deep knowledge and attentiveness ensured we were comfortable despite the high altitude and cold nights. Without his guidance and support, reaching the Uhuru Peak would have been much harder for us.

100% RECOMMENDATION!!
I spent six days and five nights traveling with Meru Slopes. It was simply fantastic.
Our guide Patrik, our cook Johani, and Almachius in the office gave me an unforgettable time.
Patrik knows absolutely everything about animals, plants, and trees. He was able to answer every question, while also mastering the bumpy roads in the national parks, keeping an eye out for animals, and always getting us to the next restroom stop on time ;-) Thanks to his expertise, we saw so, so, so many animals. In the Serengeti alone, we saw more than 50 lions, including the kill of a gazelle. We saw the Big Five in 2.5 hours on our first day in the Serengeti. Patrik is well connected via radio with other jeeps and always had the right instinct for special animal sightings. We were always in the perfect position to observe the animals. It was indescribably amazing.
Our chef, Johani, conjured up fresh, delicious local dishes for us three times a day. Sometimes even with short nights of 3-4 hours. Simply priceless. I will miss his laugh.
Meru Slopes places great emphasis on customer satisfaction, not revenue. They mostly work with permanent staff. This makes a huge difference in quality and service, especially during peak season. I was out for a day with another agency, so I have a comparison.
100% RECOMMENDATION for this fantastic team.

The best family adventure ever!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Kenya Expresso from start to finish! From the very first contact 6 months ago, Paul, Faith and the team were highly knowledgable, flexible, listened to our requirements and provided fabulous options at an honest price. They were also kind, responsive and patient with us and we ended up booking an amazing tailored trip. Then at very short notice ( a matter of weeks), due to a family event we had to move our trip forward, they managed it and again were kind and patient and reassuring. We arrived and met Paul ( we were lucky to have Paul the MD as our guide for the safari part) and our trip of a lifetime started. Paul is highly knowledgable about the country and also animals, knows where to spot them, is well known by others at the park and we ended up seeing far more animals than we could have ever hoped for, all the big 5 and so much more. We did Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ol Peljeta and Samburu and also saw many baby animals, animals on honeymoon and animals eating their catch so a full circle of life. The vehicle was great and the tented camps were also fabulous, great locations and staff, great comfort and food including gluten free options. We also enjoyed our visits to a Masai village and a Samburu village, great learnings for our teenage children. We then took the train to Mombasa and spent a few days at Diani beach which was very relaxing and beautiful and our drivers on those trips Jackson and Julius were friendly and knowledgeable. The true highlights of the tour were seeing all the animals and our chats with Paul, the 4 of us agreed this is our best family trip ever, the adventure of a lifetime and we already can’t wait to go again one day. So if you are thinking of booking a safari trip to Kenya or a number of other countries, then honestly look no further, Paul and Faith can organise the perfect trio for you. THANK YOU guys we miss you already.

Shafino is a real expert and we learned a lot about the animals and nature of Tanzania.
We had a wonderful time on our safari with Shafino. Shafino is a true expert and in the Serengeti he was vale to spot all the animals and tell us fascinating stories about them and the nature surrounding us. Highly recommended!
