Reliable and worth its price.
The communication and planning was very easy.
The trip was just the way we planned it. Everything was in time and taken care of.
We enjoyed the trip very much.

Outstanding Safaris for Serious Wildlife Photographers!
~ I've been on two exceptional safaris with Bigmac Africa Safaris — one in February, 2014 and the other in October, 2014. In both cases the guide/driver, Mr. Anthony Gitau, exceeded all expectations, in terms of getting me near to rare bird, animal and plant species in order to take high quality photographs. As Anthony himself is a gifted photographer, he understands the special requirements of birders, big cat specialists and those who love wildflowers and foliage. In Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria, Lake Navaisha, Samburu and Meru, Anthony was highly familiar with the terrain and with the habits of the species there. Bigmac Africa Safaris and Anthony arranged world-class safari programs which emphasized long game drives to observe and photograph rare species in optimal settings. In every respect, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bigmac Africa Safaris to all who have dreamed of visiting East Africa with fine camera gear to take the photos of a lifetime. Anthony Gitau will make your dreams come true, as he's done for me. Contact him...you won't regret it!

excellent
everything was well planned. guide ( dennis) was amazing; well informed and uptodate with information. the price was the cheapest on the market. our first stay was in clouds view hotel, and it was the first warm shower in weeks, everything clean. best hotel in tanzania. we also ate there on our first night before safari and the food was the freashest we ever taste. the food in safari was also very good and fresh. no diarrhoea in weeks, really tastey and warm. this was the highlight of our tanzanian holiday. the person we dealt with Micheal nDALLO was amazing and really helpful with sites to visit and everything. definately not disapointing

Great adventure
The expierence with World Tours & Safaris Tanzania was great. Richard, the manager, is a great guy, he will take care of anyone doing the safari with him and not only during the safarin but also before and after. He always offers as help and advice in everything we asked him.
We made a 5 day Safari starting in Arusha and ending in Mwanza, including lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park. I dont have words to describe how amizing it was. We saw all possible animals (the big five and much more!) even a lion chansing, hunting and eating with her familiy a gnu :)
The food and camping places chosen by the company where perfect. In lake Manyara we could even sleep in the fancy Hotel with pool. We also had the Chance to see and interact with the Massai in one of their villages in Ngorongoro even though it was not on the program.
So, summarising, GREAT recommended experience with World Tours & Safaris Tanzania.

Great safari and friendly operator
I had a short 3 days Masai Mara safari in Kenya with my young family. It was a perfect one. I wish I had more time. One on One tour operator is the rel deal guys. Purely world class.
Fantastic Experience with Umubano Tours!
My husband and I spent 4 nights in Rwanda with one day in Kigali and two days of Gorilla trekking. We booked our whole tour through Umubano and cannot recommend them enough - they were fantastic! Herbert was very professional and responsive to our emails. We were met at the airport by our guide, Didier who was wonderful. He gave us a lot of insight into the people of Rwanda and its history. The vehicle was impeccably clean and well maintained. Everything was delivered exactly as we had agreed and according to the itinerary. Would absolutely recommend Umubano tours!

highly recommended
We went to Serengeti and Lake Eyasi with Ben as the driver.
Ben is a very good guide, pleasent company and everything was well organised.
Beautiful tented camp just outside Serengeti (highly recommended) and at lake Eyasi.
Again, highly recommended and for a very reasonable price.
It was a very bad trip because John Bakari. A very good trip because Cliff Gustaff Tety.
We are just coming back from a travel in Tanzania. Our stay started on 23/10/2014 up to 02/11/2014. The tour organizer was John Bakari,. He was chosen because being French speaking, because known by the Belgian group leader since many years . He is the owner of the agency "Voyage Africain" based in Arusha.
Our group that was consisting in six people was victim of a large swindle. An advance of 60% of the total amount was paid on Bakari's bank account during the month of January 2014. The balance would be paid below the board on the 24/10/2014. When still in Belgium, in spite of the reiterated requests of our group leader, John Bakari never provided us any invoice. We realized, gradually, that nothing of what was envisaged was organized, nothing was booked. On the spot, John Bakari tapped us more money. He promised to reimburse this loan at our return to Arusha. Conclusion: the 13.200€ paid by the members of our group for this travel of 10 days disappeared.
We were lucky in our misfortune, to become acquainted with Cliff Gustaff Tety, guide certified and driver. He enabled us to carry out the activities foreseen in our circuit. During the circuit he was in communication with the wife of John Bakari for the payment of the invoices related with these activities. Christina, John Bakari's wife, always claimed that her husband would pay any invoice. Cliff Tety went thus guaranteeing the payment since he had the word of the wife of John Bakari. He went guaranteeing at the time of our passage in the national park of Mahale. Again he went guaranteeing the payment for the hiring of the boat which transferred us from Mahale to Kigoma. For our stay at the Arumeru River Lodge, again he spoke in favour of our cause. At the airport of Kilimandjaro at Arusha, the day of our return towards Europe/Belgium, agents of the national parks (TANAPA) were waiting us requiring us to pay the pending invoices. Even if they didn't have any right to do so, they tried to block us in Tanzania. They let to us go only thirty minutes before the take-off apparently convinced by the arguments of Cliff and those of Bernard, the group leader. Later, when the Europeans were gone we were informed that Cliff was arrested and imprisoned in Kigoma. Up to now we don't know why. Blackmail, keeping an hostage, and so on...
Finally John Bakari swindled us for more than €13.200. We lodged a complaint.
I did only deliver to you a very short outline of our adventure. So if there are candidates who envisaged to go to Tanzania, don't hesitate in contacting me on Facebook for more details.

The pearl of Africa for real!
Travelling with the organization of Pinnacle Safari has been fantastic, from the first enquiry mail to the last goodbye with our super guide Adrian. The service was amazing and my expectations are reached completly.
Uganda is a land to discover and every day was a discovery!
Thank you so much Pinnacle Safari.

One of the best travel experiences ever!
We visited Tanzania seven years ago and we were on a 2-night budget tour in Selous Game Reserve with Micky and co. The safari was one of the best experiences I've ever had and I would definitely want to go back there one day!! Everything was very well organized and we had a lot of fun. Already the drive from Dar to Selous was something that I'll always remember, driving through those small villages in the Tanzanian countryside. In Selous, we stayed at a camp by the Rufiji River and slept in tents, which was very exciting. And the food served there was great: I still remember the delicious cucumber soup for lunch and the buffalo meat for dinner, cooked of course on a fire under so brightly shining stars, which are impossible to see in Europe. But the best was of course the animals. We saw many many elephants, giraffes and so on, and even a leopard! I definitely recommend this safari!
