Awesome Safari Holiday
We were a group of 6 and visited Arusha Park, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and cannot recommend this company highly enough. The guide was excellent - organised, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a wide variety of wildlife - from elephants and Rhinos to Hippos, Leopards and Lions. Each of the parks we visited had something different to offer.The beautiful views of Lake Manyara and Arusha Park, the endless plains of Serengeti and without forgetting the beauty of Ngorongoro Crater. Ezekiel was very helpful during the planning stages - very patient, friendly and honest about what we get from each offer. We even requested that he prepares the offers in German as some of the group members did not speak English and that was not a problem as he speaks fluent German. We will always remember this trip and use your service whenever we visit Tanzania again.

Very nice trip on our own, with a good gide (book, telephone, tomtom and contact with tailor made)
We had a very nice trip, have seen a lot very nice things in a short time. Locations where we stayed, were very nice. We landed on Durban, get our car by Avis traveld to Ballito for one night, get some rest from the flight. After that we went to Kamberg, st Lucia, Tembe, Kosi bay and Hluhluwe-iMolfozipark.
Everything was perfectly arragend from the beginning till the end. The book we had was a perfect guide.
Thanks a lot for the unforgettable journey we had together with our 2 children from 16 and 18 years.

Excellent service and knowledge!
I found myself with one extra day in Arusha and had not yet visited Arusha NP. I contacted Pasa from Warrior Expeditions to see if there was any way I could get a tour with just a few days notice. From there he took care of everything, let me know up front the cost breakdown and schedule (which was flexible), and asked me exactly what I wanted to see and if there was anything in particular I hoped for. I had a few questions prior to leaving and the response time was very quick. The park surpassed my expectations. It was a beautiful day and the park is so beautiful. I learned so much from Pasa and we were able to see one of the white baboons that have only recently been discovered at this park! After learning more about the longer safari trips that Pasa offers I look forward to another trip in the future and highly recommend scheduling with Warrior Expeditions Tanzania.

Fantastic self-drive trip in Uganda
Buffalo Safaris exceeded expectations on all fronts. From assistance with acquiring gorilla tracking permits to helping us plan our trip through Uganda Tim and his team were incredibly helpful. The car was great, as was the equipment, and Tim stayed in contact with us during our trip regarding any information we needed, like road conditions etc. We really did have a great time and I would recommend the self-drive option to anyone who enjoys 4x4'ing, camping and the outdoors. Uganda is a special place!

It was the best trip of our lives, this agency did everything to make our trip the best.
There are not enough adjectives to describe our magical 10-day experience with ACZ Safaris Team. We (4 friends) have just returned from a simply sensational trip. It was always a priority on our wish list, although it was very difficult and expensive to plan. Well, everything changed when we started searching online and found ACZ Safaris. We read all the reviews (including 2 negatives), and then we started communicating with John who is incredibly efficient, professional and knowledgeable! He answered all the questions immediately without making us feel obligated to reserve. Having said that, after making several consultations with other companies, we collectively decided ACZ Safaris. The cost, the itinerary and the professionalism were decisive to close the deal. We were novices in this, so we just put our faith in them. The ACZ Safaris team (Martin & Joshua) picked us up at midnight from the Nairobi airport, and a day later, Martin met us at our hotel for an informational meeting before we left. From the first moment, we knew that we were in good hands. Martin was incredibly friendly and immediately acquired our sense of humor, but above all, he made us feel comfortable and safe on the trip and taught us a lot about the local culture along the way. With more than 10 years of experience, we were extremely blessed to see the Big Five within the first 24 hours! And just when we thought it could not be better ... he did it! From the kill of a cheetah, the birth of the Thomson gazelle and the pride of the lions resting on a hill at sunset (scene directly from the Lion King), the experiences kept coming and we had the opportunity to see a black rhinoceros, leopard, cheetahs , lions, elephants, hyenas, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, zebras, gazelles, impalas and many others. We also had the opportunity to witness the eighth world wonder where wildebeest and zebras migrate to Kenya and cross the Mara River while crocodiles wait for easy food. This was especially nice, the bird's eye view in a hot air balloon ride. The highlight was the mating of the leopards plus the cheetah and the lion killing in real time. The accommodation was great, "glamping", not "camping". The meal consisted of a total of three meals a day with full lunch boxes when we were going on an all day trip. In short, a memorable trip of my life with more than 6,000 photos to prove it! I could come and go, but I'll end up saying that ACZ Safaris gave us the vacations of life, and we could not recommend them enough! We will be back soon.

Amazing Experience!
We had a great trip with Watu Safaris to Selous and Mikumi. The combination of the two parks made that we had a great experience and saw lots of wildlife. Excellent guide and great service by the people of Watu Safaris. An amazing experience!

Tanzanian Safari of a Lifetime
After a lifetime of dreaming and a decade of planning, my wife and I finally took our first African safari in July/August 2018. One of the best decisions we made was selecting Soul of Tanzania to handle our week in northern Tanzania.
From our first request for information, the staff was always responsive to our many questions. Because of our time difference, I would send our questions in the evening, and could count on answers waiting in my inbox in the morning. It made planning hassle-free as we finalized our itinerary, customized the way we wanted.
We decided on an eight-day, private guided safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, with a side trip to Olduvai Gorge and a balloon safari in the Serengeti. Soul provided us with four levels of accommodation to choose from in each area (five in the Serengeti), so to keep within our budget, we chose the most basic level, comprising Planet Lodge in Arusha, Rhino Lodge at the crater, and Ang’ata tented camps in the Serengeti. All were adequate for our needs, and Planet Lodge was outstanding.
But the element that makes or breaks your safari is the quality of your guide. Here’s where we really scored. Soul matched us up with Edward, a twelve-year guide who seemed to understand us immediately. From the first day, when we came upon a lion hunt in Tarangire, Edward had a knack for finding the animals we wanted to see, then having the patience to wait till we could get the perfect shot. He worked with us on a daily basis to come up with the program for the following day. From talking to other guests on safari, it was apparent that others weren’t having the variety and quality of sightings we were enjoying. That was all because of Edward’s superior knowledge and skill, as he found lion and cheetah cubs, not one but two leopards, and even a dik-dik (five minutes after I said I wanted to see one).
Edward was also great at producing our signature, envy-inducing hot lunches, and was a charming dinner companion to boot. Our last memory is of Edward, waving with both arms, as we took off in our small plane back to Arusha.
Kudos also to Ben in the front office for checking in periodically to make sure our safari was meeting our expectations.
We highly recommend Soul of Tanzania!

First class organisation, service, destinations and vehicles!
Our trip to Rwanda and the DRC was in limbo after the kidnapping in Virunga Park. Golden Rwanda reorganised a full itinerary that no-one else was willing or able to make. Frank himself toured us around beautiful Rwanda; to the Gorillas, Golden monkeys, Chimpanzees and to places off the general tourist map. He introduced us to local cuisine and told us the history and general lore of both countries. He organised excellent guides to safely explore the DRC; the Lowland Gorillas, the Bonobos, the markets and more. If you are looking for more than what the general safari agency can provide, then Golden Rwanda is for you!
