The big five in just two days
This was our first safari experience and we will never forget it. Everything was excellent, from the time we contacted Boris we have been followed step by step with all our requests. When we arrived at Seronera Airstrip we met Jose, our driver and tour guide. He went far and beyond to meet our needs, from the service received during the trip to the organizational aspects. We managed to see all the big five within
just two days (out of three). Really recommended. Be sure we will choose Akondo Adventure again for another Safari trip. Thank you!

Gosheni is the best safari operator in Tanzania!
We started planning our safari a year ago and looked in to the usual companies that did upscale safaris. The prices they quoted were ridiculous. Then we found Gosheni after an internet search. Gosheni was remarkable from the second we contacted them. Norah helped us to create our own private safari, in which we visited Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti over 10 days. She was always responsive by email when we had questions.
William A. David (our AMAZING guide) greeted us at the Kilimanjaro Airport. He was with us the entire time and was so knowledgeable and friendly. He knew our priority was seeing as many animals as possible and he delivered. We had seen the Big 5 by day 3. Our final lion count at the end was 74. William patiently answered all our questions about animals, Tanzania, and his life. We feel he has now become a friend.
Gosheni provides a hot picnic lunch most days and our lunches looked way better than the sad boxed lunches of others. We even had beer and wine. In addition, William always kept the cooler full of water, beer, and Coke Zero for us.
We strongly recommend Gosheni!!! And, make sure you ask for William A. David!!!!

The tour operator is the best in all of Tanzania because they were kind, respectful and fun!
Serengeti Smile was the best safari option for my friends and I. The tour guide (Mussa) was amazing and he ensured that we saw all animals. All staff were helpful and kind. We would highly recommend!

Absolutely Outstanding Safari Experience!
We had an unforgettable safari experience—truly 5 stars from beginning to end. Our driver and guide, David, was exceptional: incredibly professional, calm, and knowledgeable. His experience and insight added so much to our trip, and we felt completely safe and well cared for the entire time.

Unacceptable
Worst safari ever – filthy camp, horrible sleep, major rip-off
We paid 3,000 USD for two people, which is 300 USD more per person than another family traveling with us.
From the outset we were placed in extremely unsanitary, mosquito-infested conditions at Nyatu Camp: cockroaches in the bed, no running water, broken doors, and zero hygiene. It was the worst night of sleep in our lives, living in a room that felt like it wasn’t intended for tourists. We couldn’t rest, were and it felt unsafe.
To make matters even more suspicious: although we booked with Flexivel Safari Kenya, everything was actually handled by Jockie Tours or perhaps another subcontractor—Flexivel seemed like just an intermediary with no real control over what we got. It was clear they passed our booking down without ensuring basic standards.
And when issues arose, Jonathan disappeared, never responding the phone calls.
This was such a betrayal: the worst night of sleep, unacceptable health conditions, and blatant overcharging. If you book through them, expect to be ripped off and treated terribly.

Amazing safari with Peter in Maasai Mara! Well organised 4-day trip which I highly recommend :)
We went on 4-day safari trip with Axis. The experience was very relaxed and well organised. The transportation was fast and comfortable. Driver and tour guide Peter was incredible and went above and beyond to explore the wildlife. For the accommodations we went for the luxury package which ensures a 5 star experience for food and rooms. Highly recommended to book with Axis!

Seamless from start to finish!
Wow! What an experience for our family! We recommend Lion King Adventures without hesitation. From start to finish, everything was seamless. The lodges and tented camps exceeded expectations. Our guide, Hamadi, was incredible. He became part of the family and we wish we could have taken him with us for the rest of our trip! Not only an incredible driver, wildlife spotter and knowledge provider….our 11 year old son asked a new question every 10 seconds for 8 days, and Hamadi answered each one with patience and good humour.
We are so grateful to Lion King Adventures for this trip of a lifetime!

He is full of life and knowledge.
My tour experience was amazing. Our driver, Tinyiko, was very lively, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He always engaged with us and made us feel welcome in his beautiful country.
