Well-organized safari with amazing wildlife, cultural visits, and stunning scenery.
My family and I had an incredible 7-day safari with Saya Blue Adventures.
Everything was smooth and perfectly organized. Communication before and during the trip was excellent, and the service was reliable and professional.
The wildlife encounters were unforgettable, we saw so many animals up close, and the landscapes of the parks were breathtaking.
All the local guides we had (for visits to the parks and the various tribes) where very helpful and well prepared.
We also had the chance to learn so much about Tanzania’s rich culture, visiting the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, as well as exploring the coffee plantations of the Chagga tribe near the Materuni waterfalls. The experience was both educational and inspiring.
Overall, it was great value for money and truly one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken.
Thank you so much!

Bernard is an amazing guide, we loved every minute!
We was lucky enough to see 4 out of The Big 5 in Masai Mars (we saw the rhinos in Nairobi national park so did see the 5). Bernard educated us about the park, the animals, the border and just about what life is generally like. We had an amazing trip it couldn’t have been any better - it is definitely worth the money to book this trip - once in a lifetime. Bernard was attentive to us as well as getting us to every destination. We was able to see leopards which we was all amazed by. We booked a private tour and think this was definitely the right choice because it was more personalised to us. The food at the accommodation for breakfast lunch and dinner was amazing. Thank you so much Bernard for an amazing trip.

Safari - amazing
I highly recommend it to everyone. For me, it was the trip of a lifetime and the fulfillment of all my dreams. The driver, Jeremi, was very engaging with the group in the Jeep. He was helpful and answered all our questions. Safety on safari is paramount; we felt safe. Spending the night in tents under the stars was a dream come true. I would gladly go back again.

Really well organised, supper attentive, guide was knowledgeable and great fun, what more could you
A family of 4 travelling from the UK. We are normally idependat travellers so was a bit nervious of trusting a tour company.
But we had great communication with Ezron before we left, he helped us plan the trip and customise it to our wishes.
He was there to meet us at the airport and then the team looked after us every step of the way.
The guide for our safari was really great and taylored things to us as we went. Accommadation, food, vehicle etc was all of a good standard. One of my sons is a fussy eater but this was never a problem.
We have no complaints and would definately travel with African Tanzanite again.

Amazing Wildlife Safari in Ruaha!
Our 3-day trip with Widman Tours & Safari was nothing short of spectacular. The park's pristine landscapes and abundant wildlife left us in awe. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us ample time for game drives and bird watching. The team’s professionalism and friendliness made us feel safe and cared for throughout the journey. The highlight was spotting a pride of lions and a herd of elephants up close — memories we will cherish forever. The entire experience was seamless, exciting, and truly immersive into the beauty of Ruaha. I would recommend Widman Tours & Safari to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable African safari adventure.

Fantastic.
My trip to Kenya was wonderful! I had travelled to witness the great Mara Migration. I enjoyed a picnic in the wild and took great photos and videos. I was thrilled with the whole experience: beautiful savannah plains, abundant wildlife, and exceptional service.
I wish to thank Sun Pops team for their professionalism throughout the booking process, the safari, and departure. I was very satisfied with the whole experience and would recommend this tour operator.

Terrible car, trip hugely impacted
My 5 day safari with Simbaland Tours was mostly amazing - our guide was exceptional and showed us all of the animals we wanted to see in a limited time, including seeing the great migration in the very front row by the river.
However, the car that we were provided was visibly older and in worse condition compared to the other cars from other operators. The car had no front mirror (it fell off), there were cracks on both left and right side mirrors, and a long crack in the front window. No air conditioning, which meant we were breathing so much dirt dust when we had the safari roof closed.
Second day morning, the right side foot rest of the jeep started falling off from our ride from Tarangire to Serengeti. We had to stop twice on the way - once to try to keep it attached to the car (by tying it with a rope), and a second time to take it off and hang it on the roof of the car. This foot rest was hanging on the roof of the car from 2nd day lunch to 3rd day lunch during the game drives.
On the 3rd day lunch, we had to stop outside in a town of the Serengeti gate for 1 hour 45 minutes to fix the car - to put back the right side foot rest in its original position. We spent 20 minutes eating lunch while waiting, and rest of the time we were standing behind a tree in the heat.
Then, right after we passed Northern Serengeti gate, we had a flat tire. It took 1 hour to fix the tire. We could not do a game drive at Northern Serengeti this day, because we spent almost 3 hours fixing the car.
On the 4th day, stopped at a town to spend another 30 minutes fixing the tire.
On the 5th day morning, the foot rest that we fixed on day 3 was falling off again. We spent 30 minutes taking it off and hanging it back up. Because of this, we couldn’t fully close the roof all day.
Then, on the way out of Ngorongoro, we had a car accident as the driver was turning a curve and were stuck in the sand. We had to have another jeep pull our car out. Afterwards, we stopped again for 30 minutes to fix the tire again, which is when we started to worry about missing our flight back to Canada. As a result, we had to drive on the opposite side of the road very dangerously & fast for 3.5 hours before getting to Kilimanjaro International Airport extremely late.
All in all we stopped 8 times because of issues with the car, lost 5+ hours that could’ve been used to do game drives or spend time at the lodges. The car used to operate the safari by the company hindered our experience and we felt that we had to sacrifice a lot of our travel time here because of all the problems that the car had, that could’ve been avoided had the car been in a better condition and properly checked prior.
Unfortunately the car diminished the value of our trip. Having flown 30 hours for this once in a lifetime experience, it hurt to wait outside in the sun during the repair shop stops or wait in the car with no air conditioning in 30 degrees weather... I wanted to leave a honest review as I think it is important for anyone considering which safari operator to choose to have more visibility - as I don’t think anyone deserves the experience I had on their safari.

She’s very professional and efficient
We had an amazing experience with LAXATRAILS. Our guide James was incredibly friendly and always went the extra mile, even extending our game drives several times so we could enjoy more of the wildlife. His knowledge was outstanding — he could find and identify almost every animal and plant we came across. LAXATRAILS was also very professional and quick to respond, accommodating all of our hotel and itinerary requests perfectly. Highly recommended!
