Excellent service and well-planned tour
I recently booked a 3-day tour with Serengeti African Tour covering Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and a 1-day Kilimanjaro hiking tour, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience!
From start to finish, the trip was exceptionally well-organized. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned to maximize our time at each destination without ever feeling rushed. Every detail, from transport to meals and park entry arrangements, was taken care of seamlessly.
Our guide was not only knowledgeable and professional but also passionate about the region’s wildlife and culture. Tarangire was breathtaking, filled with elephants, baobab trees, and incredible landscapes. The Ngorongoro Crater was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we were lucky to spot the Big Five in a single day!
The 1-day Kilimanjaro hike was the perfect ending to the tour, challenging yet rewarding, with stunning views and a supportive team to guide me along the way.
The entire trip felt safe, smooth and above all, memorable, especially for a female solo traveler. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to explore Tanzania with a team that truly knows what they’re doing. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Excellent services and guide at a very reasonable price.
Antonio Safaris provided us a great service right from the first response till the end of our trip. We booked a short 5 day Kenya Safari trip for a family of 3 and couldn't have been happier. Accommodation, communication and planning were all great and the trip was a good value for money.
Our guide, Evans, was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating to our requests, especially with our 9 year old kid. We were able to find a lot of animals on our game drives and he took extra effort to show us a pride of lions on the last day as we were hoping to see one through out our trip.
We would definitely use Antonio Safaris again for our next east Africa adventure.

Top Notch
We did an 8 day Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo Crater Safari and it was an incredible experience.
Safari Soles helped us organise out tour for 5 people and was very responsive to our needs, right from the beginning. All communications were very quick and efficient. Oken Alick was very helpful to us as we planned from afar.
We were well taken care of right from the airport. The accommodations were all more than we expected. We especially liked the luxury camps within the national parks. Our guide Baraka was very knowledgeable and generous with his time. We saw some amazing animals, gorgeous landscapes, and a vibrant African culture.
Our trip was everything we hoped for as a family.
I would highly recommend Safari Soles.

We loved our experience with Karis ExpeditionsOur tour guide Knatona was so friendly and attentive.
Thank you to Saida who was always available and ready to provide us with all the necessary details. She also went above and beyond and took us to the Arts Market and ensured we were very well taken care of. We also had a great experience with Kantona, his positive energy made the tours so enjoyable. If I knew about Karis expeditions before I would have booked all my tours with them. Thank you so much to the great team.

very bad
I had a very disappointing experience with Rajatours (Tanzania side). The coordination was extremely poor from the start — our itinerary was changed almost every day without clear communication. Hotels were consistently downgraded from what was originally promised. The package was supposed to include all meals and drinking water, but that was not the case. We barely had any drinking water during the day, and on some evenings, dinner was not provided at all.
What made things worse was the lack of transparency. We never knew which hotel we were staying in until late in the day, and they were always of lower quality than agreed upon. The worst part of the trip was when our group of six was moved from a proper safari vehicle to a small, cramped car simply because no guide was needed that day. Four of us had to squeeze into the backseat with our luggage on our laps — it was completely unacceptable.
This was not the standard we expected or paid for. Rajatours needs serious improvement in communication, logistics, and customer care. I would not recommend this experience to others unless the company takes meaningful steps to improve its service.

A brutal safari
We felt right at home, but surrounded by animals 😂 We saw tons of wildlife, including elephants just a meter away, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, vultures, and even a hyena. It was an unforgettable experience, and everything was very well organized. A huge thank you to Rafiki Tembo Tours for making it possible!

Bad experience think twice book with Rajatour
Disappointing Experience – Poor Organization and Lack of Transparency
I booked a 9-day, 8-night trip to Kenya and Tanzania for a group of 6 people, and partially paid the deposit since February. The package was supposed to include all accommodations and meals throughout the trip. While everything in Kenya went smoothly, the experience in Tanzania was extremely disappointing.
• On the day we entered Tanzania, I was suddenly informed by RajaTour (the operator) that all our previously selected and confirmed hotels had been changed — without any prior notice. I was only told after we had already arrived in the country.
• The guide was unexpectedly switched to a new person who seemed confused and unfamiliar with the route. It took us 1–2 hours just to find the hotel on the first day.
• The hotels were downgraded, with the excuse that our original 4-star hotels were “fully booked”, despite our early reservation and deposit.
• For the last two days, the vehicle was changed from a proper 4x4 safari car to a small Toyota Noah — again, without any prior agreement. Not ideal for a safari trip, especially when traveling with luggage.
• On the final night, we were suddenly told that dinner was not included, despite the package clearly stating that all meals were covered.
I had to chase and negotiate with the operator every single day just to get the basics of what we had already paid for. It was exhausting and took away from the experience.
If you’re planning a trip and want peace of mind, I would suggest not to book with Rajatour.
This should have been a memorable and enjoyable trip — instead, we were left frustrated and disappointed. For the price we paid, we certainly didn’t deserve this kind of treatment.

incredible experience
The tour is excellent value for money. The guide is one of the best I've ever had. The cars used on the tour are comfortable, and the hotels are very pleasant.

Premium Service w/ Incredible Experiences from Beginning to End!
Gorilla Safari Consultants provided a world-class experience! Our guide, Steve, was absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t want to tour with anyone else! If you can, ask for Steve!!!
When we landed in Kigali we were informed by the airline that our bags were left behind at the last airport and wouldn’t arrive until 2pm the next day. Steve was scheduled to pick us up at 8:30am and all of our gorilla trekking gear was in our checked luggage! We messaged Lynda at GSC and she happily accommodated a 2:30pm pickup for us. All our worries subsided.
From the moment Steve picked us up we had an incredible experience. We felt very safe and confident with Steve behind the wheel and at our side. He is very knowledgeable about Uganda and Rwanda and share many interesting details about the culture, history, agriculture, and more. He was flexible, accommodating and we truly felt his genuine concern was for us to fully enjoy our experience!
For example, we had an amazing evening Safari at Queen Elizabeth Park but didn’t get to see any lions. Steve exceeded our expectations and took us out again the following morning and we saw 4 beautiful lions!
And the highlight of the trip was the gorilla trekking. To be so close to the gorillas was simply magical, there are no real words to describe the feeling. We felt safe the entire time as we stared in awe at these amazing creatures.
The accommodations were great also. Clean beds, great food and unbelievable views!
Overall we were thoroughly satisfied and would certainly call GSC for our next East African adventure! (And did I mention how awesome Steve was? 😅🤩)

Best company out there!
This group of people knows what they are doing! I was lucky to go on a 7-day hike with this great bunch of people to the top of Kilimanjaro. We made it, and all thanks to Nortaz Safari!! They did what they could to make sure we made it to the top, but they also made sure this was a trip to remember - with dancing, great food, good talks and lots of laughter. This crew took such good care of us and they knew what they were doing. So if you want to go to Zanzibar, on a safari or to the top of Kilimanjaro - this is the company you should chose!
