Unforgettable Intimate Adventure
I am so happy I booked with Africa Zim. I took my mother on a Mother's Day trip of a lifetime to Victoria Falls and she wanted to go to nearby safaris as well. Everything was arranged so thoughtfully and we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide in Stanford. A few days prior, my mother needed wheelchair service and Standford made sure to make her feel like she was accommodated for. Having a tour guide with us majority of the trip made us feel safe and Standford also gave us so many cool stories and insight into the culture. This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime and I couldn't recommend it more! So grateful for the intention and curation into each day. The days were busy but also not "too" busy so we could enjoy the journey and moments in between.

Safari 365 organised a smoothly run and very helpful experience.
I received good value for the experiences covered and everything went smoothly with drivers promptly arriving for transport for next destinations. Having been to RSA previously, I saw much more wildlife this time.

Breathtaking wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes made for an unforgettable safari in the heart of Africa.

Tales of Tanzania
Hi!
We went to Tanzania for a safari trip and came back with unforgettable memories! The safari was beyond expectations. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was blissful. From a group of 13(!) lion cubs chilling together under Serengeti's sunset to the elephant that stopped in front of our car in the Ngorongoro forest, or the buffalos visiting the lodges at night and the lion roaring in the background while we were having dinner at the lodge in the savanah, everything seems out of this world.
Beyond the game seeing experience, we have to thank and appreciate the hospitality of the locals. From the tour guides diligently narrating safari tales to the locals receiving us to their villages in Materuni and the Masais in Ngorongoro, everybody was very welcoming and accommodating.
The main attraction was the 2/3 days safari trip starting in Arusha, proceeding via Ngorongoro, then staying in South Serengeti for a full day and then coming back through Ngorongoro and descending in the crater there. We've seen a wealth of antilopes (Eland - the biggest, Dik Dik - the smallest), lions, elephants (lots of them), giraffes and probably thousands(!) of zebras and gnus - while following the road in Serengeti we crossed straight through an immense heard of them.
In addition the safari trip we also had a short hike on Kilimanjaro, visited the Materuni village where we MADE coffee end-to-end, from peeling the coffee seed to brewing the coffee powder, visited the Materuni waterfall (perhaps the tallest in the region if I'm not mistaking), had great fun and the Kikuleta springs and took photos with animals, fed them and pet them (yes) at a resort near Kilimanjaro.
All in all, dreamy experience, first contact with Africa and safaris, felt safe throughout our trip and came back home with a strong desire to write another chapter of Tales of Tanzania.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Liviu Cira

Affordable and full of adventure.
I had a fantastic experience with this company! Everything was well-organized and reliable from start to finish. My guide Jackson was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, every game drive was exciting and rewarding. Compared to other tours I looked into, this was a great value for money and surprisingly more affordable without compromising on quality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and budget-friendly safari experience

5 Star Safaris with a 6 Star Service
We booked a 4 night Safari with Harry from Kla and were treated like VIPs from the moment we arrived. Robert our Driver/Guide was like an Encyclopedia about all things to do with a Safari and is very proud of his country and nothing was too much for him , he explained everything about the areas we were driving through. We met as strangers and left as family ! The thought and effort that Harry from Kla put into arranging our Safari is second to none . The little Surprise at the end of the Safari was very unexpected. Thank you Kla and Harry and Robert for making this an unforgettable experience. Hopefully see you again soon .

The team was deeply engaged, highly motivated, genuinely passionate, and impressively professional
Our guide Voice went above and beyond to fulfill our wildlife sighting wishes – his appreciation for guests and genuine passion for his work were truly remarkable. The camp team was friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the food exceeded expectations, especially given the limitations of a mobile safari. Communication with the administration was fast and responsive, and they accommodated our needs to tailor the trip perfectly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Shipungo Safari.
