Wonderful Time in Serengeti
My family of 4 visited Serengeti with World Tour in March this year. We all enjoyed our trip thought it was very dry in the park. Our driver Frank is a skillful driver. He is really helpful. As for the cook, I think his cooking skill needs some improvement for cooking beef. It is very hard to chew.
Sipi Falls
Awesome...the Falls, the accomodation, The tour guide, the driver, everything was on point.

Exceeded My Very High Expectations!
My four-day tour in Uganda with Africa Adventure Safaris was outstanding! The planning with coordinator Nelson, the pick-up at the hotel, the Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the lodges, restaurants and the games drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park were all world class. Guide Joseph Sabiiti was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I give Joseph and the team at Africa Adventure Safaris my highest possible recommendation.

A life changing adventure that more than lived up to our expectations!
This was an excellent safari from the initial pick up at the airport to the final drop off. Everything was professional and well done. Our safari guides, Gabi and Guido were excellent; they were so insightful, so helpful in everything we did from driving to areas where we witnessed the animals in their natural habitat to capturing the moments first hand of lions stalking/killing their prey, to finding the cheetah mother and her 3 cubs. We would have missed/passed by an incredible close up of a large leopard in a tree without our guide picking up the visual cue. This truly was a remarkable adventure, one of those life experiences that changes how you look and interact with nature forever into the future - BUT all because of the guides incredible knowledge, insight to animal behavior and personal interest to share their world with us. My wife and I have travelled the world, been a part of many adventures, but this ranks in the top five and I truly give the credit to our professional, knowledgeable, and FUN guides. We and our safari group enjoyed all the time we spent with them.
So to recount- the guides were excellent, the vehicles we used were excellent with great viewing, the hotels we stayed at were excellent, and some of them were in the middle of the game reserve, so animals surrounded us ( how cool is that), and lastly, the food was excellent- fresh, nice choices, and great wine- all in the middle of nowhere. I don't know how they do it but they deliver it all and far exceeded our expectations.

Dream Safari
My friends and I had spent some time in Bagamoyo before spontaneously deciding to do a safari. A friend of mine recommended Vic Consult Tours & Safaris to conduct the tour.
He helped us book the flight (fasjet) from Dar es Salaam to Mwanza, we arrived at night at Mwanza Airport into a rather intimidating bus station and were relieved to be met by Vic Consult Tours & Safaris staff who immediately took care of us and our bags and whisked us off to a comfortable hotel. The safari was planned to begin early the next morning and I was desperate for Internet access to sort out flights which could not wait until after our three day trip.
I mentioned this to Victor, the owner of Vic Consult Tours & Safaris, and so the next morning Victor came to the hotel at about 6:00 a.m. with his personal laptop to make sure that I could get onto the internet before he waved us off on our trip. Now that is going out of your way for your customers.
The trip itself was incredible, especially the Ngorongoro Crater. However, I would imagine that whichever of the various possible itineraries you can choose, and parks you can visit, they will be spectacular. Our driver, Joctavian, was super and things were done at our pace while still keeping to a set schedule which allowed us to fit everything in, and the chef was very talented - I certainly didn't expect such good food from a basic camping safari! The tents themselves were actually very comfortable and we didn't have to lift a finger, everything was done for us. Victor, Paul, and the chef made the trip incredibly special and personal. We all felt very safe at all times and would go back at the drop of a hat. I will certainly never forget it!

The safari was an unforgettable experience.
We went to Tanzania in september 2014, booked by Matoke Tours.
It was a Fly in safari, we flew to Dar es Salaam, and then flying to Selous Game reserve, and after 3 days we flew to Ruaha.
We did this safari in the south of Tanzania to avoid to much tourism.
The safari was very good organized by Matoke Tours. In Selous River Camp we slept in a mud hut which was a nice experience, the food was very good, and the Guides had good knowledge about the animals and the park itself. The weather was good, and the tse tse flies where not to much of a bother
In the park (Selous Game reserve) itself we saw much wildlife, especially a great number of giraffes. The best safari we had in the park was the boat safari, for i am a birding man and on the river where all sorts of birds. And in the lake area there where countless very large crocodiles.
In Ruaha National Park, we stayed at Tandala Tented Camp. The tents in this camp stood on platforms, around 2 metres high. In the camp was a waterhole, and all night long there where Elephants coming to drink.
This made the stay in this camp a very special occasion. Also the food was very good, and the guides experienced.
In the park itself there where very much and big elephants, also we also a great number of lions, and two times we saw a leopard. The number of wildlife is much greater than in Selous, and this park is much wilder.
After these safari we flew to Zanzibar for three days at the beach.
The conclusion is that this safari trip had everything what we expected and more. The trip was very good organized by Matoke, and i would recommend them for those who would go to Africa for a safari trip.

A great Safari
Me and my friends went on a Masai Mara Safari with ISIA in February 2015. The price was ok, above average if you consider all tour operators but below average if you only count the reputable ones. Joao was very fast in accommodation ou requests. Staff was great and the experience was incredible. We used Royal Mara camp.
