Amazing
This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had on a holiday. From start to finish everything went so smoothly. We had booked a safari with a trip to Zanzibar afterwards. All of the transfers arranged were perfect. The hotels we stayed in were lovely with a number of these being the most luxurious and beautiful we have ever stayed in - the level of luxury was beyond anything I’ve ever known! The food was also excellent. The best thing about our trip was our guide, Roger - his attention to detail was 100% and he went out of his way to ensure that we saw exactly what we wanted to see - this included the ‘big five’ as well as thousands of wildebeest crossing the river Mara during the great migration. I can’t imagine having a better guide. There were a number of times that the things we saw on this safari brought tears to my eyes - it was truly, truly magnificent and these were genuinely the best days of my life. Thank you Serengeti smile. What a trip! I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone interested in a safari.

If you are looking for the best Safari operator in Tanzania go to Wildlife Experience Tanzania
Davies provisies swift responses to all my questions. The price was very reasonable and most important: The Safari was amazing. The Ngorongoro Carter was very impressive and on our first day in Tarangire we spotted 4 out of 5 Big Five (we only missed the Rhino)
Highly recommended!

Zohar goes above and beyond to give a personal touch
I highly recommend Zohar! When we landed in Arusha, we were greeted warmly by Meshack who gave us cooling towels and yummy snacks. We met Jacky and Rachel who gave us a detailed orientation. We then proceeded to the Arusha Serena lodge. Unfortunately, I fell sick. Meshack and Rachel took me to the doctor late at night and took such good care of me! You know you have picked the right team, when they dont just assist you with bookings, but go all out when things go wrong. Nathan and Goodluck took my family to the Kilimanjaro Shira Plateau which was a great start to our trip! We flew into Kogatende to spend the next 7 days driving through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Solomon, our guide, was incredible! His knowledge on culture and wildlife is amazing- a walking encyclopedia of Tanzania! He was funny and patient and got along so well with our family! Every game drive was spectacular and filled with adventure! We added a few activities last minute and Lilian and team made it happen! If you want a magical experience with a personal touch, choose Zohar!

Responsive!! Gail was incredible and even when we needed her during the trip, she replied within min
Gail was unbelievable! She put together an amazing honeymoon for my husband and I. The trip was perfect, packed with activities, and the accommodations were amazing. If I come back to South Africa, I will be reaching out to Gail again and I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking to travel there. She’s extremely responsive, dependable, and creates the most perfect customizable itinerary for whatever activities you’re interested in. My husband and I barely had to do a thing aside from show up. Effortless! Thank you, Gail!!!!

Great experience in Nairobi NP
A great experience with this tour operator. We were a group of eight, and we booked a half-day tour of Nairobi National Park with them. They picked us up from our hotel on time. A very good experience.

Reliable, good safari
We were on a 5-day safari (mother and teenage daughter).
The first impression of BaboonBudget was good, Jemimah replies to all questions very fast, which was very reassuring for me. Easy and fast communication signals trusworthiness to me.
I also think we got a lot of value for money, even though other guests in the same tour were less happy with the lunch options while travelling. But keep in mind that this is a budget safari in Africa, you will eat Kenyan-style. We liked it. Accomodation was also fine.
Our driver, Titus was really, really good. He knew a lot and shared it with us, and did his best to keep all people in the jeep happy. A really good guide.
A few things that could be improved - to a neurotic European, seatbelts are important, and they were usually not working in the middle seat in the back.
Sometimes people had to change cars, because some were continuing to other parks and some wanted more time where we were. This could be a bit confusing.
Lastly, when going back to Nairobi, we went with three different drivers, and didnt know until the day before. We also had to leave our luggage in the hotel on the last day, and another driver picked it up, but we were not informed until it had happened. Things were under control surely, but it would have been nice to know what the plan was. This may just be a cultural difference though. We did get back to the right place and time, and had a great safari!
