Amazing trip
We had a brilliant time in Uganda. We toured the country visiting many of their national parks on a 2 week safari trip. The people made us feel very welcome, always friendly & helpful. The gorilla & chimpanzee trekking is a must when visiting Uganda. We visited a gorilla family of 10 & was well looked after by the guides & guards who located the gorillas & chimpanzees. We felt safe at all times whilst trekking. The food in Uganda was very nice, including the local dishes. A big shout out to Ngoni Safaris for arranging our trip & to James out tour guide that looked after us & made us feel very welcome & safe at all times. Would definitely visited Uganda again & 💯 recommend if you are looking for an adventure ;)

Review about Khwai Concession by Andrea Burgess
The Mosusafari team - worked hard to make sure we had a fantastic experience both seeing the animals and the scenery. We’re not really bird watchers but did appreciate them picking out some of the amazing birds too.

Did exactly what was written on the tin (plus more)!
Mansoor was our guide in all three national parks (Ruaha, Mikumi & Nyerere) for 9 days. We camped with the Maasai, relaxed with a beer whilst the hyena's were only 50m or so away, watched the lion's tuck into a tasty zebra and sat meters away whilst the crocodiles slid silently into the water.
The canyon just outside of Iringa was impressive and certainly worth the stop. The walking safari with Didi was an experience not to be forgotton - whether it was him smoking the dried elephant poo, or him sticking his toe in it to test the temperature - all very informative in an amusing way.
We would thoroughly recommend African Pangolin Safaris as they went beyond what was promised. Mansoor was exchanging tips all the time with other guides to provide the best experience for us, persevering to find the animals in their natural habitat. He even arranged for our 14 year old son who had a birthday whilst camping with the Maasai to become chief for the morning and a surprise birthday cake appeared!

Highly recommended well-run safari tour
Me and my family went on a 10 day wildlife Safari in Serengeti National Park and Zanzibar beach tour and we had an absolutely excellent experience. From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional and well-organized. Our tour consultant Ibrahim, always responded promptly, listened to what we were mostly interested in seeing and worked with us to put together our itinerary. Our driver and guide Ali, was genuinely nice and friendly and took great care of us, trying his best to make sure we had a truly unforgettable safari adventure.
Highly recommend Dav Safaris for anyone looking for a seamless and well-run safari tour. I would definitely book with them again!

Excellent trip! Saw everything!
Booked this pretty last minute and totally stoked that there were still gorilla permits available for my trip! Ended up seeing everything I wanted to see (Gorillas, Monkeys, Chips). Guide was wonderful. Very knowledgable. Honestly, the thing I was most surprised with was the caliber of the lodging. Every hotel/lodge I stayed in was exemplary. Honestly, wish I had stayed more than 1 night in some of them because they were just that good.
Only tip I’d recommend, take more 10s and 20s USD and not change money because there really wasn’t any need for native currency and everyone wanted USD.

4 Day Serengeti Safari with Porcupine Expeditions
I used Porcupine Expeditions to organise a four day safari in the Serengeti for my parents. It was the first time they had been to Tanzania, let alone Africa. Although they were a little nervous to do a tour on their own instead of with a group like they usually travel, they came back saying it was one of the best trips they'd ever done. From the beginning, Jullie from the team was really helpful and worked with me to tailor an itinerary that included the key spots in the Serengeti and being able to see the Mara river crossing as part of the Great Migration. This one of the main reasons I went with Porcupine Expeditions because most tour companies require you to be on a longer tour to see the river crossing, or are a lot more expensive. When my parents arrived, she took such good care of them and was always available to answer any queries. On the safari itself, the driver/guide was very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife and they saw so many animals. The accommodation was also fantastic and such a unique experience to be able to stay in glamping-like style tents that offered beautiful views of the animals and were comfortable, clean and safe. Thank you so much to Jullie and the team for going above and beyond for organising such a wonderful trip. What really stood out was the level of care, warmth, communication and organisation throughout, and I could not recommend them enough!

Amazing
My wife and I did the 11 day safari and Zanzibar tour with African big cat Safaris. We had an amazing trip visiting Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara as well as relaxing for five nights in Zanzibar. Our safari guide Dominick was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, he was also a careful and safe driver which is very important ,we saw several other jeeps that had been involved in serious accidents during our safari. A perfect way to ruin your trip of a lifetime.
On safari we were able to see lots of the wildlife including many encounters with the elephants, lions, buffalo , rhino ,cheetah and catch a glimpse of a leopard disappearing into the undergrowth also numerous other species of antelope ,bird and mammal.
Zanzibar was the perfect counter to the early starts of safari and a good relaxing way to end the holiday
All the accomodation arranged was of a good standard and the food was superb wherever we went. The picnic lunches during the day on safari were well catered with plenty of variety and quantity.
Our dealings with Big Cat Safaris were all smooth and any hiccups were sorted quickly.
Overall this was an incredible trip we had planned to do for years and we are glad we finally made the call to do it.
Many thanks to Dominick and the team at Big Cats for making it happen, highly recommended

Passionate.
Wonderful Experience with a Passionate Guide!
I came with family and friends, and we had an amazing time. Our tour operator, Peter Nding’ai was very friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, he speaks perfect English, which made it easy for us to understand the names and behaviors of all the animals we encountered. It’s clear that Peter is truly passionate about his job — his enthusiasm made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

raw a d unforgettable safari experience friendly and professional
Our guide was absolutely amazing — full of wisdom, knowledge, and incredibly attentive to every little detail. He spoke *perfect French*, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable and easy to follow from start to finish.
The car was a bit old at first glance, but once we hit the road, we understood why — the adventure tracks are real! Even a one-year-old car would show signs of the journey here.
Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely *breathtaking*. Standing up through the special high roof and taking in the views as we drove was a highlight on its own — such a small detail, but it made a huge difference and added to the thrill of the entire journey.
The food throughout the tour was *incredible*. We chose one of the more affordable packages, so we stayed in simple lodges, but they were way above our expectations — *all* of them had swimming pools, which was such a treat after long days on the road. For the price we paid, the quality of accommodation really surprised us in the best way.
We spent two nights in the Serengeti — one at Nyani Campsite, which is open to self-drive tours as well. It was *the* experience. Sleeping in a tent out in the bush, with guards keeping watch and the sounds of nature around us, was both a little scary and completely unforgettable. That night under the stars, waking up to the sunrise in the wild, is something we’ll always remember.
The next lodge in the Serengeti wasn’t luxurious, but it was big, clean, and had a pool again. Perfect after a day of game drives. The company also had a photographer with us, capturing moments along the way — a lovely extra touch.
Every meal was delicious, and honestly, we don’t know what else to say except *thank you*. This wasn’t just a holiday — it was a real adventure. Peaceful, wild, and something we’ll carry with us forever
