Great Tanzania Safari
Our safari with Savannah Explorers was amazing! I researched this trip carefully and found that Savannah Explorers offered us the most for our money. There were three of us and we were very happy with this choice.
Roberto was extremely helpful. We e-mailed and skyped with him. He answered all of our questions promptly and sent us a detailed itinerary and a lot of valuable information about Tanzania and about what we needed for safari. He designed a plan for us according to our wishes. There was never a problem with planning.
We did not see Grayson, but our guide Abdul was great! He showed us so many animals.We saw all of the big five. He was good at spotting animals we otherwise would not have seen and he gave us a wealth of information about the animals, the people and the country. When we asked questions he answered in detail. He stopped often for us to observe and take photos.
Our vehicle was more comfortable than I had imagined it to be, although we drove over many bumpy, rutted roads. Water, soft drinks and beer were provided. We charged our phones and cameras in the vehicle.(Be sure to bring a converter to connect to.) We went on exciting game drives, including a night drive with a different guide. If you go on a night drive, be sure to bring a camera. We saw three cheetahs eating a zebra, which we were told was a rare sighting.
All of our accommodations were beautiful and very comfortable. I especially liked Kati Kati tented camp in the Serengeti. The atmosphere was just what we expected on safari; the food was amazing and the staff, especially David, the camp director, was friendly and very helpful.
Do not miss Ngorongoro Crater. It is worth your while to spend a little extra to stay at the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge at the lip of the crater. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The lodge itself was gorgeous. The view of the crater from the lodge's huge windows, from the terraces and balconies and from our room was magnificent. We saw baboons playing right below our window.
The animals, the terrain, the people, our accommodations-all of our experiences added up to an unforgettable adventure which we highly recommend to everyone. Thank you Savannah Explorers!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by SnowmanStudios.de
Ngorongoro Crater was woderful. Lot of game in a beautiful scenery. Although the camp at the egde of the crater is cool. And cold, so take warm clothes. Loved this place for shoting the milkyway and startrails.

just incredible!
Serengeti NP was amazing! We had so much wildlife and birdlife as well. We just got from one special sighting to the next one. I did around 30 game drives in diffrent NP´s before, but these 4 days in the Serengeti and the Crater were absolutly stunning.
River cruise was excellent but safari drive was more like Dakar Ralley
The Chobe river cruise was excellent. Plenty of wildlife, relaxing and a great sunset. I did a safari on a safari vehicle, 9 people and it was dusty and more akin to the Dakar Ralley I thought. Guide didn't take time to show in detail, everything was rushed.
My July trip 2015
I have been on safari many times, but this has been my best safari vacation ever.
Since I am particularly interested in elephants and lions, However, for a "first timer" the Serengeti National park is beautiful and the landscape is absolutely stunning
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
If anybody indicates lions and elephants as their main interest. then advice them to go to Serengeti and Ngorongoro However, I understand that my own concerns about off-road driving have influenced the decision to go to both Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.. Cheers to Northern Masailand Safaris

Sanna and Saxon Trip Amazing
Overall we had a great trip. Special thanks to our guide Henry who was with us up to and including Elias - he was knowledgable, friendly, Ngorongoro was spectacular with early morning mist later giving way to brighter weather, and many interesting game sightings.
After an interesting side-trip to Oldupai Gorge, we entered the Serengeti which was really beautiful. The early rains meant it was already quite green. We saw quite a lot of game, especially from Dunia, including a lot of the migration. Quite large herds of wildebeest were already moving south through the central Serengeti.
When we got to Olekira we were afraid there might not be any wildebeest left north of the Mara river. However no sooner had we got to our tent on arrival when we had to literally "scramble" to the vehicles to race to a crossing which was taking place just in front of the camp. Later we saw two more crossings during our stay. In one of these we followed a large herd for some time as they moved along the river bank. Occasionally some would go down to the waters edge, only to go back again up the bank. Finally they decided to stop teasing us, and all charged across the river right in front of us. Many thanks to Northern Masailand Safaris team.

Review about Tanzania by SnowmanStudios.de
There are a lots of great NP´s around. The distance between the hotspots is sometimes long, but worth each mile.
Trip of a Lifetime - Mwanza & Dar - Very Memorable, Safari was Truly Magical & Zanzibar was Glorious
Sona @ KaribuWorld put in a lot of Time, Enthusiasm & Expertise into organizing our Itinerary. It was clear to see that she had not missed out any minute details in planning our Trip. She was able to confidently advise us on what would best suit our needs & interests and we are thankful for her brilliant recommendations. She truly is an Asset to the company and we cannot wait to organize our next trip with Karibu World!

Summited Kilimanjaro on 7 Day Machame Route
I could not have been more happy with my experience with Abakombe because of Alphonce and Jimmy. In July 2015, I went on the 7 day Machame route to climb Kilimanjaro. Even though I was climbing by myself, Abakombe still had great prices.
Being that I was not in the best of shape I was pretty nervous about getting to the top. Jimmy could not have been a better guide. He was so patient and encouraging to help me get to the top. I definitely perfected the art of Pole Pole which is often repeated on the mountain reminding climbers to climb Slowly.
Making it to the summit was not easy but I know I only got to the top because of my Guide Jimmy and great team of porters.
I was not able to go on a safari on this trip but am looking forward to using Abakombe when I am able to take another trip to Tanzania.
