Coolest safari can't wait to do it again!
The Safari went on schedule as planned on the itinerary. The tour guide had thorough knowledge of the places and best locations to view the animals. I really enjoyed my stay, thanks to the hospitality right from the booking right until executing the travel. Highly recommended

Outstanding Travelagency
I booked a two days trip to Mikumi Park from Dar Es Salaam. The Contact in advance for the booking was all time ver nice and courteous. Even If the number of joining People changed, it was always a pleasure to write to Deo. Once arrived in Dar, They came and picked us up even on time. They where even earlier as they expected traffic. But they never tried to rush. After a warm welcome from Deo and our Tourguide Sky we went off to Mikumi. Sky was a great driver/guid. As he has a very huge knowledge about his country and aswell of the Game in the Park, we had a very instructive Safari. Our overnight Stay in the Mikumi Safari Lodge was absolutely great. The Lodge is build up with lots of love and on a great spot. Feburnya and her Brother took good care of us. And it felt like, we were at Home. They But so much Love in it.
All in all we were more than happy that we booked with ITTB. All time good communication and outstanding Safari. Dear Deo and Sky, Thank you so much for showing us the Beauty of you Country and I hope to come back very soon. Michael

Disappointing, Scary and terrible service
I did a very disappointing 6 day trekking trip with Kapolondo. I was told i would be trekking Rongai route and will be doing camping at nights. But after landing in Tanzania, Tony the owner of the tour tells me that route is changed its marangu and no camping we will be staying in huts. I was shocked! After arranging everything and paying money upfront, they changed the plans without even consulting me. He also asked for a 250 dollar for porter tips when i confronted that since we are using tents and not camping he said i am mistaken and he meant 250,000 shillings.
The guide failed to wake up on the day of the summit and didnt give us any food when we started. We have good reason in believing that he was drunk most of the time. On reaching back, my climbing partner had to witness Tony beating and punching a guide who was just talking to her.
Couple of other people like our assistant guide david and another guide Mike was who assisted us with airport transfer and Arusha town sightseeing was really good. But on the whole the trip was just disappointing.

Great service
All in all it was a great experience. I was recommend to Oakland Tours by a friend of a friend and can only say everything exceeded my expectations. Great service and communication, our guides were wonderful, all our requests were met and pricing was more than fair ( taking to account other offers from similar safari agencies). Highly recommended. A special thank you to the agency's head, she treated us like friends and made us most welcome and eager to return and use her services once again.

Budget Gorilla trekking safari in Uganda
I’m this kind of people who always save money for my great adventures. Whenever I want to go for an adventure somewhere else around the world, I have to prepare myself one year in Advance. When am ready to travel, I ensure I get the best budget deal available that would ensure I enjoy myself too. I booked with gorilla tour booking safaris because that is that they promised to offer me. Indeed, there was no point along my journey when I regretted. I just enjoyed the ride with these guys .Sure, I had great memories.

Amazing and Creative Trip
From the arrival we were very nice greeted. Our Guide Joseph told us some important information . Our adventure in Zimbabwe we started from Sunset Cruise Namibia and ended boma dinner . It was great. On the second day already on the way to the Chobe Part we saw a lot of animals. Safari was amazing. Joseph showed us the most beautiful corners and his close surroundings . We felt very safe in his care . All we needed was met. Shelf with all my heart .

An Extraordinary experience
We just completed our 10-day safari tour with Makasa. Everything went well and we enjoyed our vacation very much. It's an experience we will never forget. Makasa did an excellent job organizing the tour considering this is our first time to Tanzania. I would admit that the tented camps scared my wife at the beginning but as we stayed longer , we realized it's the most practical place to stay because we were right there where actions are. The lodges were wonderful and the service is very good in all our accommodations. Jamal, our guide made our stay worthwhile because he's very knowledgeable and he has eyes like an eagle who could see or sense animals from a distance. We were lucky to see the big 5 and some other very interesting animals. Special thanks to Caroline who went out of her way to find us a physician who could prescribe us the medicines we lost during our travel. Overall, we could highly recommend Makasa not to mention that they are able to keep the cost down without sacrificing the quality of service.
