All of the Animals and More
We spent four nights with Bush Drifters, and had the opportunity to see all of the big cats (cheetah, lion, leopard), elephants, hippos, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, THREE rhinos, many types of antelope and gazelle, monkeys, and tons more. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the numerous species we saw, including the birds.
A fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations.
The trip was fantastic from our initial email dialogue to the moment I was dropped off. Communication was exceptional. The service was flawless. The education and sights were world class. I would recommend Seven By Far to anyone visiting Kenya.

A very well organised tour which provided an abundance of new experiences for the senses.
We all know what turns a holiday into a forgettable experience, but on this occassion not a single one of those usual dramas occurred. The simple things were done to perfection.....our luggage turned up, the tour guides were at the airport to transport us to this new land, the accommodation was brilliant - from stunning ocean views in Camps bay, to a porch off our ensuited tent in the Okovango Delta, elephants saundering past our tent in the middle of the night, camp kitchens providing 5 star meals, lions rubbing against out truck while travelling in the Ngorongoro crater, and for a change of pace high tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel.........so many places, such a marvelous time........this traveller will return

it was a great experience with a professional guide and unforgettable animal sitings
The professional and personal service that was given to us by Macho Halisi (office staff and driver guide) was more than we expected and made our Safari a once in a lifetime experience. The car was comfortable and in good condition. We enjoyed the trip tremendously and hope to be back one day.

African Ubuntu safaris went out of their way to ensure that we were happy with our tour.
We are grateful to you and to all your affiliates who gave us a great holiday. The itinerary was extensive and gave us an excellent chance to immerse ourselves into the culture of East Africa.
Accommodation, food and transport was of a very good standard with seamless transfers throughout the safari. From our arrival in Nairobi to our departure from Dar es Salaam, we were greeted everywhere with helpful, smiling faces.
We will definitely recommend your company to anyone thinking about travelling to Africa.

Saw the Big 5 with Makasa
We loved our safari with Makasa Tanzanian Safaris. From the moment of our enquiry, through booking, and taking care of special meals, Selma was incredibly responsive to our emails.
On arrival in Tanzania we were met at the airport by a Makasa representative and taken to Moshi to rest after our flight. We then spent 10 days on safari. We visited the Maasai Olopopongi Village - an incredibly interesting cultural experience. From there, our guide David took us to Tarangire Lake Manyara parks, and from there we transited Ngorongoro to the Serengeti where we saw the Great Migration- what we were really hoping for. We saw a pride of lions on an early morning game drive, and saw rhinos in the distance in Ngorongoro Crater.
In each camp, we were comfortable and well looked after. The breakfasts and dinners were very tasty. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable about the animals and their behavior. He also was well prepared and very friendly with the other guides, which gave him inside knowledge about the movement of animals within the parks. We felt very safe with him driving us around Tanzania.
We wholeheartedly recommend booking a safari in Tanzania with Makasa.

I experienced both the flora&fauna of Tanzania and the real life of villagers with Access2Tanzania.
Access2Tanzania was extremely professional in keeping the participants informed of the itinerary, any necessary changes, what to expect in the various places we would stay, what clothes to bring, incidental costs not covered in the tour price, and a general background of village life in Tanzania. We experienced the best of the Northern Circuit in Lake Manyara, NgoroNgoro Conservation Area, Serengeti and the NgoroNgoro Crater. We saw so much more than just the Big Five. Our guide, Fulgence was unbelievably knowledgeable, humorous, kind and patient. Seeing the children supported by Project Zawadi in Nyamuswa was wonderful and put our ability to enjoy this safari in perspective. We stayed in very nice places with a few very special ones and experienced the hospitality of Tanzanians everywhere we went. This tour company really knows what it is doing to show off the whole world of Tanzania.

Great solo safari
I went as a solo female traveler in September 2014 and had a great experience with Warrior Trails. William, who I worked with to plan was always timely in replying to emails and flexible. My guide Frank was excellent. He had amazing eyesight and could spot animals that were very hidden away that other guides did not see. He also took time to sit and watch animals versus other vehicles who stopped briefly and moved on. He was very knowledgeable also about the many birds and trees/plants. I met Clamian the owner before and after the safari and he was very kind. I visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. I also visited the Maasai primary school which was wonderful. I would definitely recommend them based on my experience.

Best way to explore Kruger National Park
Our tour with Chris and Armadillo Overland was way over our expectations. It was much better than self driving and a true relaxing experience. We were really spoiled by Chris. He provided us with everything, from the tents, chairs, the amazing home cooked food and a lot of knowledge, about kruger, the animals and just life itself. The honesty bar on board the truck was an extra plus. Time was on our side as we didn't hurry, and we saw 4 of 5 Big 5 together with all the other animals and a lot of beautiful birds. Thank You Chris. Hope to see you again.

Outstanding Safari
I had dreamt of a safari like this since I was 10 and Planet Safari delivered! Everything was perfect - from planning discussions a year before which were personalized and attentive, through last minute hiccups from my end being sensitively and wisely handled, to a warm greeting at every place we stayed! The hotels and tented lodges were ideally located in beautiful natural settings. The interiors were tasteful and elegant while retaining the 'bush camp' feel. The food and service were great throughout. Our guide made the whole excursion an exciting adventure and gave us in depth insights into what we were seeing. He was attentive, knowledgeable, charming and efficient. Tanzania is a spectacular country and Planet Safari's team of professionals are dedicated to ensuring you have an outstanding vacation.
