Great trip with Josef and the gang!
We booked 11 days budget safari and the whole experience was just amazing. Great accommodation, great food and experienced guide. Highly recommended.
Everything has to be paid in cash at departure but there is a Barclays bank with security right in front of the office . Mike and Kennedy, who manage the company from Nairobi, walked us there to help us sort everything out. They are honest and caring people, who helped us way more than they were supposed to (for example, they organised dinner for us outside of the tour and gave us tips before and after our trip).

Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti
Our safari was a great experience starting at Lake Manyara and an amazing surprise after dinner at Olea Africana! Who expected singing staff, acrobatic dancers and a honeymoon cake:-D Then we headed to Ngorongoro crater with our always friendly, patient, funny and well educated driver and guide Allan! The crater itself is a unique encapsulated habitat for many many animals where we also saw our first lions. The track to Serengeti National Park is pretty rough but worth every penny! We were situated in Mbugani tented camp where we enjoyed elephants at breakfast and moaning lions at night - totally fascinating. The spot was marvellous and the food delicious. Allan truly offered us a lot of opportunities and we've just been lucky to see nearly any animal possible apart from rhino but hakuna matata;-) The last stay at Acacia Farm Lodge was also spot on, very friendly staff and another special surprises for us! So finally we would definitely recommend Mama Savanna for getting a great safari with personal touch!

An amazing experience
We came to Tai Travellers through a friend who climbed with them the Kilimanjaro. While this operator may not be among the most famous yet, we had a wonderful experience with them. The communication in English beforehand was no problem. As we looked for a less expensive option we were free to add and take off days and really created a very personalized experience. We stayed two days in Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro and had the full package. We saw the big five, giraffee, zebras, hippos, prairie fox and various other animals (of course this is more part of luck than about the quality of the operator). Especially nice was that our guides were very relaxed. When we asked for a shared BBQ with another group we met in Serengeti they opted in quickly and bought half a goat in a nearby village - you can imagine the evening was memorable. While they did everything for us to enjoy the safari, they also sticked to the rules of the parks so that we really had the feaeing that we actually contributed with our tourism rather than unnerving the beasts. Thus, service and especially the food was really excellent! We were picked up from the airport and brought back, learned a lot about animals, Tanzania and other things from our guides/cook Iddi and Suri who were amazing people. At the end, most of the company came to take us to the airport and say good-bye. All in all a wonderful experience which we wouldn't have made without the Tai Traveler crew. So if you look for an economic provider for personalized wild life safaris in Tanzania, make sure to consider Tai Travellers (While the name may sound strange in European/American ears, Tai in Swahili translates to eagle).
So in short: It was amazing and it completly lived up to our expectations. The camp sites were wonderful, the food was very good, communication was perfect. 5 stars - totally recommended operator!

Best Walking Safari!
First, Savannah Southern Safari is owned and run by an incredible human in Chinga Siavwapa whose knowledge of ecology around Livingston is unmatched, the game rangers he works with are as passionate about the preservation of the incredible natural resources within the Mosi oa Tunya National Park making he and his team one of the most important teams tasked with making me enjoy mother nature, learn about her and make me understand why I need to care. I will for ever appreciate and remember my tour of Mosi oa Tunya National Park with Chinga Siavwapa!

5 days of intense wildlife watching: excellent safari guide and excellent organization.
Our experience of 5 days of safari in Kruger National Park with Wild Wings Safaris was amazing. Excellent organization from the beggining of the trip (pick up/left in the Hotel on time), fresh food for breakfasts and dinners ... and Simon, the safari guide, was an excellent guide searching for wildlife, showing us animals and explainning about their way of life, diet, ... In summary, an expert safari guide! He also created a good environment among all who were sharing the safari. All in all, this safari fulfilled our expectations by far! I would recommend it to anybody who really wants to experience a real safari.

An amazing journey in Kenya and Tanzania
It Started in Africa made us a special safari, we chose the places we wanted to go and they made our trip absolutely unforgetable. All the hotels they recommended us were increadible, namely the Enkerende Tented Camp in Kenya and the Neptune Ngorongoro. Our guide Evans was extremely profesional, always very atentious and careful with us as we were a group of five women. The tour was incredible, as we went through all the main parks from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro. Our stay ended up in Zanzibar, where we choose the hotel, but It Stared in Africa took care of all transfers, including air transfers. We highly recommend this operator. It Started in Africa exceeded our expectations!!! Incredible experience. Thank you so much.
