Number 1 Spot Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is no doubt was truly a different experience.
A hidden paradise. It is such an amazing place that makes you want to leave the civilised world for good.
We stayed at Lamai Serengeti Lodge for 4 days and it was very near Serengeti National Park.
Everyday I wish there is no ending. The Game viewing at the park is endless. I saw the migration of wildebeest & Zebras, different cats, group of Elephants, Group of Giraffes, Spotted Rhinos (Please let's save them!), beautiful birds, Thomson's gazelle, group of Hippopotamus & Crocodiles, etc.
After Serengeti National Park we headed to Ngorongoro National Park for another 4 days.
Ngorongoro is beautiful and has its own characteristics but Serengeti is even more beautiful because it gives you the real touch of WILD AFRICAN SAFARI.
First week of July 2015. It was the best time for us, not so crowded, temperature is fantastic, not so dusty, bushes not that tall and you can easily spot the animals. We also had an unforgettable close encounter with 3 male lions while our car didn't have any window at all ( It was terrifying & fun experience).
We would like to praise our Guide and Lamai Serengeti Staff for providing us an unforgettable vacation in Serengeti.
To our Guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and always very polite and we learnt a lot from him. He is one of the best guide we've ever seen. I think he is a very valuable asset to Nomad Tanzania Company

Review about Namibia by Nico
Namibia is an incredible destination. Every area is a postcard for its landscapes. Every rock hides a different animal. Best holiday ever. My only regret is that animals are not 100% protected everywhere and that hunters can go and pay to kill endangered species.

Review about Tanzania by Precious Guimbal
Being a well travelled person, the number 1 Place I've even visited in my life is TANZANIA.

Very well organised and our tour guide and our guide Simon was very knowledgeable.
The tour was very well coordinated by Hannah and the itinerary suggested was well thought out and covered both Savannah and Lakeshore environments. The accommodation selected was very comfortable indeed with Sweetwaters exceptional and in retrospect we should have stayed an extra day in either Amboseli or Masai Mara. The latter was the pick of the bunch especially at this time of year with the migration on. It was a pity that we did not witness a crossing and the absence of Flamingos at Lake Nakuru which seems to have man made factors contributing to the fact is a cause for environmental and tourist concern. Our guide Simon was excellent, a safe driver , ever so knowledgeable and understood a photographers viewpoint as well and positioned us for some lovely shots. We would without hesitation use Trevaron again if the opportunity arose and do Samburu in the hope of catching the elusive leopard that we missed. In essence the tour was all that we hoped it would be and our family carry long cherished memories and friendships from this experience.

2 Day : 1 night tour to Amboseli
Peter and his team were fantastic! We had two days in Amboseli - including two game drives and a visit to the Masai village. The accomodation at Kibo safari Camp was fantastic as was the buffet and service.
I would highly recommend this trip with Flash Mc Tours.

Memories that will last a lifetime
From the start, our experience with African Scenic Safaris was a good one. They promptly responded to our every question, ranging from "Where should we stay?", via "What should we wear?" to "How can we charge our cameras?".
Greyson, our driver and guide, and Aidano, our chef, gave us an amazing 5 days and 4 nights in 3 different locations. We went to Ngorogoro crater, Serengeti for 2 nights, and finally Tarangire for our last night. All the time they did their utmost to make our trip enjoyable, delightful and exciting. Greyson had wast knowledge and incredible eyesight, spotting game in the most unlikely places. We got to see almost everything we wanted, but never found any rhinos. He would also be a welcome help when dealing with peddlers along the road, giving us sage advise on how to behave, what to expect, and what was fair.
Aidano, also known as Mr Delicious, or Mr D, truly deserves his nickname! His dishes were a true delight, and coming back to camp in the afternoon to find not only food, but delightful feasts, was always a great end to the day. His culinary skills on modest equipment in the middle of the Serengeti still amazes me to this day. How one cooks a pizza so fluffy and fresh on a gas burner I have no idea. Neither do I know how he managed to make the best french fries I've had out there on the wast savannas. Enjoyed it we did!
I cannot recommend them enough, and the team at African Scenic Safaris has been nothing but a delight the whole way.

7 days - Samburu, Nakuru and Masai Mara
In July 2015, KWSS arranged for me and my wife a private 7 days safari tour covering Samburu, Nakuru and Masai Mara national reserves. Our guide and driver, Moses, was very helpful and tried very hard to make sure that we would meet all the major animals in the national reserves. The accommodations as well as the foods provided at the 3 national reserve were very good (our tour included breakfast, lunch and dinner). Since one of the main reasons for us in taking the safari tour was to take lots of wild animals photos, we were very happy that by the end of our tour we have been given many opportunities in taking photos of animals from close distance and also from the right angle of view. Overall it has been a great holiday experience for both of us.

professional and high quality of service
We've done a 10 days safari which including Samburu, Masai Mara, lake Bogoria, lake Naivasha and Amboseli with Tekkos. Following my discussion with different tour comanies online and face to face in Nairobi. Tekkos was the most professional one who set park fees, accommodation fees and their service fee( car and guide/driver) clearly. We've paid the park fees by ourself at the gate of each national park. And I want to remind you that Samburu, Lake Bogoria and Lake Naivasha do accept reduced student rate.
On our way we had great time with our guide - Jackson. He is very thoughtful and professional.
I highly recommend them also from the point that they do exclusively Japanese customers with Japanese standards - which means their service follows a very strict, attentive regulation which guarantee their quality.

the best first safari for the adventurous city girl
If you always dreamed of going on a safari, but were a wee bit worried whether you are up for it, call Benson immediately! As a somewhat comfort-oriented traveler, I must say my trip was perfectly balanced:
1. Communication with Benson was easy and prompt at all times.
2. Our guide, Francis, was hand-picked and was simply delightful at all times. He went out of his way to show us a great variety of animals, tying to make sure we saw as much as possible. Every trip was saturated with experiences, including seeing three different lion prides on one day, as well as getting some excellent close-ups of feeding, hunting and resting lions. Francis educated us about wildlife and went out of his way to accommodate us when we needed to exchange money, buy SIM cards or handle any other non-itinerary requests. He was sensitive to our needs, flexible with the schedule and made sure we had a good balance of adventure and vacation.
3. Benson provided personal attention that was beyond expectation; I must say I felt like I was in the hands of good friends, even though I met Benson and Francis for the first time.
4. Accommodations were great.
Bottom line: I highly recommend this safari operator, especially for women or first-time safari goers.

Dream safari
African Heart made my dreams come true! Going on a safari was my dream. When I was young, Animal Plant was my favorite TV-show and I was always watching it. The nature I saw on Tv was magical and I couldn't believe that somewhere on this planet it would look like the world I saw on Tv.
A few months ago I went to Tanzania. My trip to Tanzania changed my life. The people, the nature, the culture and the animals were even better than I expected. African Heart organized a safari, perfectly fitted to my wishes. I want to thank African Heart for making my dreams come true. Everything was so good arranged. From the begging till the end. I was nervous about this trip because it was my first trip alone. The people from African Heart helped me and made me feel safe. I will definitely visit Tanzania again.
Thank you African Heart Expeditions!
