A positive, memorble experience of a lifetime awaits you with Charles Benjamin's skillful guidance.
Charles Benjamin is a superb guide. He knows where to find wildlife, has great informative insights, and a great personality--which is a great asset when you are together for a multi-day safari. We had a spectacular experience of a lifetime, seeing every wild animal we imagined we might see with Charles's insightful leadership on a 7-day safari. We stayed in luxury tents, with bed, western toilet, showers and cooked high-quality meals. The leopard, cheetahs, and hippos were most memorable. The rich array of birds Charles pointed out to us in Serengeti was also a treat. The rough roads were made bearable with his competent driving skills and underlined the fact you are in East Africa, removed from your normal world, experiencing the majesty of a sanctuary for wildlife. Charles's communication skills, responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our interests were essential elements in making each day of this memorable week a true, unique treat. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking a personalized experience seeing bountiful wildlife with competent commentary.

Highly recommend Safari Infinity!!
My boyfriend and I took a 12 day trip with Safari Infinity and could not be happier with our Tanzania safari experience. I have dreamed of going to Africa since I was a very young girl, and I am pleasantly surprised to report that the trip exceeded my (very high) expectations! We landed in Arusha and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. I could go on and on about the amazing animal sightings and unbelievable experiences we had, but I will try to keep things short and sweet and highlight a few key points . . . First of all, our tour guide Kelly was beyond amazing. He always went the extra mile with regards to making sure we had the most exclusive animal sightings. We also got to know him on a very personal level and enjoyed our hours of conversation with him comparing our culture with his and our views on the world. A huge bonus of Safari Infinity is there is no limit to milage driven each day. Kelly explained to us that many companies cap each day at 80 km of driving, whereas on many days we surpassed 200 km in order to reach more exclusive regions of the Serengeti for superior animal sightings. Also, many guides rely on radio calls to find animals and stick to the main roads. Kelly was very skilled and proactive - he would get just as excited to spot an animal as we were to see it. We had a special interest in bird watching and Kelly was extremely patient and helped us ID each species we saw. All of our accommodations were great, but Tarangire Treetops and Mara Under Canvass cannot be missed! I would recommend booking hotels that are comprised of individual tents/huts/treehouses, etc., versus hotels that are set up more traditionally (long hallway with rooms adjacent to one another). Each national park was special in its own way, but if one had to be missed due to time constraints I would say Lake Manyara was least special and the northern Serengeti (where we ended the trip) was the best! Again, I could go on forever gushing about how amazing our trip was, but suffice it to say that I strongly feel Safari Infinity and our guide Kelly were what made our trip as exceptional as it was. Lucia was wonderful to work with as far as booking our adventure, and she even met with us in person at our final hotel to garner feedback in person and ensure we were happy with everything.
Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Owor Patrick
Viewing the Kabalega Falls now named Murchison Falls is simply magical. Here is where the whole river Nile, "the world's longest river" is squeezed through a 5 meter wide cleavage and pounding down through an approximately 45 meters long falls forming an amazing rainbow in the hotter part of the day. This is Uganda's largest conservation area with a vast variety of vegetation cover from open savanna, equatorial rain forest, savanna woodland and
Review about Budongo Forest by Owor Patrick
The major attraction here is the large population of chimpanzees which the closet primate related to man. There is also a very rich swamp with other primate species close to the park part located to the community giving visitors a unique chance of mixing with the local s hence spicing up their adventure. Bigodi swamp and community walk is an activity any visitor should not miss if the make a visit to this park. The park also has quite a variety of bird species.
True Encounter with Uganda's Virgin Destination
Kidepo Valley National Park is one of Uganda's most beautiful conservation areas that has not been touched so much hence not suffered much natural alteration. The Karimojong people are the only tribe in Uganda that have not been so much influenced by modern life style to change their Culture and cultural practice.
The national park has most of the animal species with vast open savanna and some bird species that are endemic to the region.
Review about Uganda by Owor Patrick
Uganda has more than half of the worlds population of the endangered Mountain gorilla, diverse species of primates and other mammal species. The geographical regional variance and weather pattern simply confirms Uganda as The Pearl of Africa and makes it a must visit destination before one can decide to "kick the bucket".

The abundant wildlife and magical majesty of the Serengeti provide memories of a lifetime.
Msafiri Tours, based in Dar es Salaam, with their excellent guide Charles Benjamin based in Arusha, provided us with a top notch experience. Thanks to Charles' excellent sighting, we saw every wild animal we hoped we would see on a 7-day safari including Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara Park. We stayed in luxury tents with a bed, western toilet and showers available everyday. The KatiKati camp in Serengeti was outstanding, and the food prepared over a fire was the best. Charles was so informative, providing insights and commentary, with knowledge of the terrain, without being boastful or excessive. We highly recommend the combination of Msafiri and Charles, which provided us a memorable, positive experience of a lifetime.

Without a doubt, I recommend Mega adventures to anyone considering a safari.
Last easter, I went to a three day safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro and Tarangire national parks with Mega adventures.
Everything worked. Good car, good food, good hostel, reliable service.
What I appreciated the most was Mubarak, our guide. He had an extensive knowledge of the parks' flora and fauna which enriched the experience. His enthusiasm in giving us the best time possible and his ambition in finding good locations really enhanced the experience.
Without a doubt, I recommend Mega adventures to anyone considering a safari.

Unforgettable experience for the entire family
custom-made safari according to our wishes, with good advice about the trip to the north of Serengeti, because we wanted to experience the wildebeest crossing of the Mara-river. Very nice lodges and tented camps with good food on the best locations. Experienced guide/driver who knew what he was doing and always put us on the best position to view the wildlife. Children ( 17,14,10) loved the safari, were never bored and had great fun in the camps. In preparing our adventure always swift response by Makasa through e-mail: all my questions promptly and adequately answered. No unpleasant surprises on the trip. Hopefully not a once in a lifetime experience.

Friendly, fair and fantastic!
Because of only positive reviews from others, we asked Jackpot Safaris to arrange our Kilimanjaro climb. We didnt regret it! Andrew (the owner) was both fast, friendly and honest in replying to our emails (and many many questions), making us feel safe about the arrangements before leaving. The climb was amazing and the guides Livingstone and Sanga and the rest of the crew did everything to fulfill our needs and to help us achieve Uhuru Peak, while being very attentive of us every step of the way, making sure we were ok and able to continue. Based on this positive experience we used Jackpot Safaris for our 5 day tent-safari as well. Once again, we had a fantastic guide (Yassin) and cook (John) who did all they could to give us an unforgettable experience. And they did! We saw all the Big Five, including being only meters away from both lions, leopards and elephants and seeing vultures and hyenas fight for a dead animal right next to the car. We cannot recommend Jackpot Safaris enough and will definitely use them again if we return to Tanzania.
