5 star all the way. Extremely professional and accommodating.
A truly amazing experience from start to finish. We were picked up in Nairobi by Kevin on day 1. He dropped us at the airport on Day 4. Throughout we were treated like kings. Kevin is an excellent driver and extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw. He was able to show us animals and experiences that were beyond anything we anticipated we’d be able to see. We actually gained a greater appreciation for everything Kevin was able to do when we took a dawn balloon ride. While the ballon flight was well worth doing, we expected to see great amounts of animals from the air, but saw very few. This shows how skilled Kevin is at finding the truly spectacular sights. We really didn’t realize how close we would be to these animals when we booked this trip.
On our way to the Maasai Mara, we stopped at a Maasai village where we were greeted warmly with dancing and learned about their culture.
Working with Lucy was smooth and Savannah Woods was very accommodating as we booked everything via email and internet. She booked us into the Entim Private camp which was simply amazing. Fantastic views, spectacular food and their service was worthy of any 5 star hotel in the world. Nightly visits from hippos, elephants and lions rounded out the experience.
Lunch beside an acacia tree out on the savannah was only topped by the last night’s “sundowner” where we enjoyed wine and snacks as the sun was setting. All arranged by Savannah Woods Safaris.

Choose SAU for a personally planned , safe safari that exceeds all expectations!
Cornelius is a dear man who runs this local safari company. He promptly answered MANY questions regarding everything from safety, accommodations & food to Monkey Pox (not a worry). He helped us design a Safari led by the BEST Safari guide in Tanzania - LAURIAN. Laurian became a great friend who never rushed us as we took hundreds of photos, educated us on animals, plants, local customs & accompanied us into a Maasai village (not to be missed). We ate 3 hot meals each day, he arranged a fun 3-hour walking safari (got SO close to giraffes & to stand under the cooling spray of a waterfall), & came up with unexpected surprises along the way. Each day was a great adventure with Elephant Day (imagine 19 elephants playing in the river, having a mud bath), Lion Day we found 7 lions in 1 tree up close! We saw a Mama cheetah with 2 cubs in the Serengeti along with 3-500,000 wildebeest on migration whose sounds lulled us to sleep in our luxury tent camp on platforms. While watching a pair of lions, we saw a line of 20+ zebras trot by, heard a squeal then went to find a male lion eating a freshly caught baby zebra from 10’ away! We saw a beautiful leopard in a tree about the same distance from our open air car - a great way to view, smell & enjoy the varied landscape of Tanzania with a guide dedicated to showing you all aspects of his home. For great service & value, this reliable company planned everything flawlessly. You will be SO glad you let Safari Africa United make YOUR Safari dreams come true!

Wonderful experience!
Although our budget is limited, BENCIA AFRICA ADVENTURE & SAFARIS has planned the tour in such a way that nothing seems less. Accommodations were comfortable, food was good, and service was excellent. The road conditions were a bit difficult, but apart from that, the whole trip was enjoyable. I will recommend this company to others in the future.

Truly incredible and perfectly organized experience
We booked the 7 day Mount Meru & Safari trip with Incredible Africa Adventures, and from the first contact on everything was perfect.
Octavian answered all our emails and questions promptly and with unfailing patience and enthusiasm, and he was there to welcome us at the airport. During our stay, he supported us in all the ways he could, and made sure that we had the experience of a lifetime. He always kept us informed about the next steps, what to expect, what to do and organized and provided a truly awesome trip for us. BIG THANK YOU to Octavian for making this trip as a whole so smooth and easy for us!!!
The Mount Meru climb was an incredible adventure in itself. We chose the 4-day option and enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide Raphael was amazing, supporting us with his skills, knowledge and humor all the way to the summit. Our summit crew was great, and despite the hard climb we really enjoyed ourselves on the way up and down. Our amazing porters were doing a great job, and we are very much impressed by their strength and the good mood they always kept!
The safari was the second part of our trip, and we managed to get a very close look at some of the Big 5 animals, like lions and elephants. Our guide Chris shared his knowledge and facts and fun parts about the different animals we saw, and the three days in three different national parks passed by too quickly!
The food was delicious throughout the whole trip, thanks to our chef Stephen. We asked for a vegan menu and our expectations were exceeded many times over. From a delicious porridge at breakfast to different stews, salads and veggie combinations for lunch and dinner, to the amazing fresh fruits (all carried up to the mountain during our hike!!!), we did not miss a single thing.
There is not a single thing we would change and nothing we can complain about. It was indeed an Incredible Africa Adventure for us, and all we can say is ASANTE SANA to Octavian, Raphael, Chris, Stephen and the rest of the crew!

Fantastic and very helpful tour operator
I highly recommend Apodiformes Tour Operator, who organised our unforgettable luxury safari adventure. We spent 10 incredible days exploring Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. Kevin was our Guide and driver. he was very professional and knew everything about the wild life and animals. Kevin was a great guide to us both and we had a fantastic time on our tour, we felt safe around him he was always very helpful and supportive to our needs. We finally settled at Diani Beach on last 4 days. This was a lovely resort and and a lovely rest for us :-)
Our Host Fredrick made sure everything was in place and he would message me to confirm if we arrived safely and made sure all the taxi's and hotels where correctly confirmed and booked. He was a fantastic organiser and we had a wonderful time enjoying Kenya. Thank you Fredrick & Kevin. We will definitely let our friends know about our wonderful experience.

Unforgettable experience
We travelled with Mountain Warriors Tours and Safari for our honeymoon.
We flew into Zanzibar, and took a fly in safari. The company took care of all arrangements locally which made everything easy.
Our guide Innocent was absolutely amazing. He’s an excellent off-roading driver, and the company’s Toyota Land Cruiser was in great condition making the trip smooth. Innocent was an expert, explained everything from wild life to culture. He also named to show us all the animals including all big 5, which was amazing.
The hot air balloon ride arranged by the company was also perfect.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Excellent service
Had a blast could not truly express my joy from this trip in words. The look on my face when I talk to friends and colleagues about say it all. Had a car to myself and driver. He could spot things that I could not. He was patient and friendly and I enjoyed the time we spent touring Masai Mari.

Exceptional organisation and very friendly, highly recommended
We went with Allen Tanzania Safaris recently to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park on a private safari with Ebenezer as our guide and all meticulously planned by Eva and all I can say is it was amazing from start to finish.
Eva did a fantastic job of going through all the options with us before deciding on the final itinerary. Starting from the moment Ebenezer picked us up from Kilimanjaro airport to the time he dropped us back at the end of our safari it was nothing short of incredible. Despite going in the off peak season Ebenezer used his enormous wealth of knowledge to find us any and every animal we could of ever dreamt of seeing and more!!! We saw Rhinoceros, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippopotamus, Lions, Cheetah, Leopard, Buffalo, Hyena, Wilderbeast, Zebra, Gazelle, Crocodile, Dung Beetles, Black Mamba, Giant Millipede and many more.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants to go on Safari in Tanzania and will definitely be using them again when we return in the future.
