Tanzania journey with Altezza travel.
Last September, My cousin and I was on 5-days safari with Altezza company. Abu was an outstanding and interesting guide. We are worried about our trip more than anything. When we arrived in Arusha, we quickly knew that our guide would be even better than expected. Abu is a great expert. His knowledge in wildlife was a high and the organization of the trip was impeccable. Such a wonderful trip was the most expected deed in our lives. Abu makes his job very good and decreased our doubts to zero. I advise everyone not afraid and confidently use the services of this company. We are fully respect and satisfied with a service of Altezza company.Their incredible team makes our trip unbelievable simple and interesting. Nice job, guys!

Kili Conquered
This was my third trip to Tanzania, with one intention in mind and that was to reach Uhuru peak on Kilimanjaro. We used the Machame route which involved camping and was much more challenging than the Marangu route. The porters and guides were great and this is a lifetime achievement. Many thanks for your assistance.

Absolutely amazing!
From the time we started making enquiries, Falcon were very impressive. All communications from us were answered speedily, and the info and advice given was perfect. Whilst on our trip, the Falcon tour operators / guides were truly amazing. They were always punctual, profiessional, very friendly and informative and went the extra mile to make our trip an event that we will treasure for years to come. Thank you Falcon - in particular Christel from the booking side, and then Calvin and Brian as tour guides, you guys did a very good job!

First timers to Africa and first timers on Safari's for 2 ladies travelling
Cuan of African Ubuntu Safaris looked after us and after discussions of what we expected to see in Africa, he then put together the most amazing tour for us. We were sent loads of information which was very helpful in our everyday conversing. We received first class service here in Australia before leaving and it continued in every port of call. The transfers from one Safari to another in different African countries were extremely efficient. The guides that Cuan had organised for us were extremely knowledgeable and went out of their way to see that we had an amazing tour. We had 7 days various beautiful hotels in Tanzania with safaris during both day and evening, 3 nights in Kenya and 2 nights in Rwanda. We saw every animal, birdlife and ending with the gorillas. Our tour far surpassed our expectations. Definately will not hesitate to recommend African Abuntu to anyone that would be wishing to go to the very beautiful Africa. I would love to return again one day and will be organising through Cuan for the professionalism shown to us.

The best
From the beginning of our trip planing we got the best support ever. SafariSorce is flexible and gave us again (it was our third booking) some insider infos.
What ever we plan to go back, we will use SafaiSource for booking.
Blew me away
Tony stayed with my school-based service trip for three weeks, from Kampala to Kisoro, back through Queen Elizabeth and Murchison to Ziwa. We had set up the itinerary well in advance, and the only question mark in our trip was where we would stop at Queen Elizabeth. We wound our way through the banana trees and scrub to his truly remarkable guest house. My students' jaws dropped. It is really hard to compete with the beauty of Kisoro, but Pumba Lodge did it. Imagine half a dozen American teenagers glued to the infinite view to the horizon. It was breathtaking.

A great safari experience
I did a safari with It Started in Africa a few years back, I was lucky to be one of the first people they took on a trip. It was an amazing and memorable experience, I went during the wildebeest migration and it was great! It's something that everyone should be able to see, and I'm sure it's also amazing during the rest of the year.
We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti and were able to see all the big animals we would want to see. The driver was very knowledgeable and helpful, as was the cook. The food was very good. We were sleeping in tents but everything was always prepared by the time we arrived so it was very comfortable. I got mostly impressed by their organisation, so it was very easy for us to book the safari back home and then we worked out the details, meeting point, etc. when we arrived. The safari was not rushed and the driver listened to us to decide where to go next or what to look for.
Even though the operation was at the very beginning, it all was very smooth and everything was made easy by the very friendly people in charge (Baraja, Joao). The lodging, food, everything was great and they were very flexible to accommodate our needs. All in all a great experience.

Incredible!
My experience in the Kruger Park was incredible. On the first day we got to see the big five animals. The guides are always attentive and committed to teach us and find the best angle to see the animals. Worth much know the Kruger !!

Well organized chimp trekking experience in Gombe NP
Overall we had a great experience working with Joshua and the staff at Gombe Track Safaris. We arranged everything over email, and Joshua was always really quick to respond and was also really flexible in planning and paying for the trip.
We were a bit concerned by the lack of reviews, but were pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything ran when we got there. All our transportation was on time and efficient, and the food provided was maybe not gourmet, but tasty and filling after a long day of hiking. Gombe NP itself is a great experience, and the trekking guides there are great. Plus you have a beautiful lake to relax by at the end of the day.
The only issues we had were that our flight was a bit late and our schedule ran behind the first day, so we almost didn't get to go out and trek the first day. We had to be a little pushy with the guides to get them to go, but in the end we saw chimps both days.
Overall this is a good, honest safari operator and I would recommend using them to organize your trip to Gombe.
