An Exceptional Safari
We chose to contact HM Safaris for our Family Safari (5 people) after seeing the sample itinerary outlined on their website. We were not disappointed at all. Sue put together an itinerary for a private safari that encompassed everything we were looking for, wildlife, culture and an end at the beach!
Our guide, Salehe, was exceptional. He has an exceptional knowledge of the wildlife and history of the region. We enjoyed the stories of his life in Tanzania and he taught our kids a bit of Swahili along the way. We spent time in Northern Serengeti and saw a few wildebeest crossings. Truly a highlight! Additionally we spent time in Seronera, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and finished our trip off on Zanzibar.
HM Safaris did a great job setting everything in motion. We were greeted as we got off the plane, and were in their care until we got back on a plane 17 days later. Truly a once in a lifetime experience without a worry or care the entire time.
I highly recommend them to plan your safari to Tanzania.

An exciting and wonderful 3 weeks trip.
During 3 weeks Craig does like to share his passion for his country.
With him we were able to wander off the beaten track.
Of course we visit the main sites of SA. We met the locals.
He can show us animals, vegetal...he has a good grounding in natural sciences.
The trip was very well done and Craig waits on us hand and foot.
The choices of accommodation were judicious.
We can heartily recommend this kind and enthusiast guide.

Wonderful safari in Sabi Sands
We booked a 4 night safari in Elephant Plains through African Welcome Safaris and couldn't have been happier with how it all worked out. We dealt with Kathi and she was a pleasure to work with in finding the correct safari the matched our needs. We settled on Elephant Plains in Sabi Sands and were delighted with the quality of the lodge and the friendliness of the staff there. The drives themselves were superb and the variety and number of animals we saw far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend booking through this tour operator and will do so myself the next time I visit South Africa.

Highly Recommend Kilidove Tours, Paul(kilimanjaro) and Joshua(safari)
Highly recommend Kilidove Tours!
During our search for a guide company for climbing Kilimanjaro, George, the company owner explained every detail imaginable in great detail leaving us with no doubt that Kilidove Tours was the guide company for us. Every question and concern, and there was many, was quickly and professionally addressed. we exchanged more than 60 emails
Our guide, Paul, Max and crew, were no different. It was obvious that it as much their goal for us to summit as ours. The entire staff were knowledgeable and very attentive to the needs. It was very obvious early on that our crew was watching us closely, monitoring our wellbeing to ensure we had an amazing and successful experience. Our meals were great. Every meal was excellently prepared, with a variety of fresh, nutritious, and tasty meals. I can't say enough about our head guide, Paul. Excellent communication skills, vast knowledge of the mountain and his attention to detail made our journey more than just a trek through the countryside of Tanzania. The communication between our expedition coordinator and guide was amazing. By chance, we summited a day ahead of schedule and KT and crew were kind enough, on short notice, to extend our safari that followed our hike by an extra day, all of which took place from the side of the mountain.
The safari itself was magical; we saw tons of animals; excellent choices of accommodation we stayed at Sopa Lodge in Ngorongoro, Serena in Serengeti and Maramboi in Tarengire on our 7days safari our guide Joshua, was excellent professional and we felt totally safe with him,
Before committing to a guide company for safari and Kilimanjaro do yourself a favor and contact George at Kilidove Tours. I'm confident you won't regret it!

very well adapted one day trip around nairobi
Ancient Wild Safaris did a great job to propose a last minute one day trip around Nairobi on the way to great rift valley. They did adapt to my request to modify or extend some of the visits and they event brought my back directly to the airport.
If you have one day available in Nairobi before you flight back home on the evening this is the way to go ( for a reasonable price)!

Excellent and flexible service
We requested a tailormade safari and Zanzibar holiday. After contacting also other companies, Msafiri was able to provide what we asked for at a competive price. Upon arrival we were taken well care of and when my daughter fell sick for a few days there was flexibility in adjusting some the hotel bookings. Charles the driver, and Leina the manager, were both very pleasant and trustworthy people that we would recommend to anybody to travel with. The only (minor) hich-up was the hotel in Dar Es Salaam that was not quite up to expectations.

A fantastic family vacations due to a very well planed journey with good sites and excelent guides
We had a very good previous experience during the planning of the safari. We were able to modify the trip and select the places and duration according to our request. Most of the success of the journey is because of the flexibility shown by BTS in preparation. Once there, both guides (in Kenya and Tanzania) showed a high acknowledge of the sites and were dedicated and warm.
Definetely, an awesome experience

[Highly recommended]Can't find better safaris and cultural experience than Matunda provided
The trip provided by Peace Matunda was truly amazing and definitely unforgettable in my life. Also as solo female traveler, they had always made me feel safe and welcome everywhere. During the six-day safaris, my guide had tried all he could to show me the best wildlife at the best position and had good crisis management as well as humour. While my cook had also tried his best to fulfil my special request on food. After coming back from safaris, I had joined the coffee and cultural tour with lots of laughing and learning. By walking and visiting local families, I had felt so privilege to touch and join part of their life.
All in all, no word could really express my feeling well. My heart left in Tanzania thanks to Peace Matunda.
If you have chance, please must take a visit to Matunda orphanage to hang out with children who are nice and polite. Also joining the cultural program(such as waterfall in Mt. Meru, coffee and cultural tour etc.) to have first hand experience on local life.
