Amazing experience, very good support from Blue Crane, excellent guide .. Now a friend, Raymond
A fantastic adventure in Namibia! 18 days and more than 4000 km on the road, well organised by Blue Crane and his excellent guide Raymond.. Now a special friend! Accommodations were all good/excellent, most of them in stunning locations. Meals always in good restaurants. Interesting activities and unforgettable safaris, the desert and the coast, the canyon and the sunsets/sunrises... Everything in our heart forever.
Thanks Derek and especially our Raymond for all of that!!
I hope it is the first of many other tours together!

Best trip ever!
Thank you again for such an amazing adventure. We booked a 9 day safari tour from Arusha to the central and northern Serengeti ending in Ngorongoro crater. We really appreciated your assistance with organising our trip, catering to our specific needs and of course locating my bag. Hilary was the perfect tour guide for us. He was very knowledgeable about the geography, animals, especially the birds, flora and the history of the land and country. Part or our trip was to see the migration and Hilary absolutely delivered by showing us 2 crossings. He was very professional and courteous, easy to travel with and we won't forget his humour. We could not have had a better guide and will absolutely be recommending Hilary to others for a Safari tour. We really enjoyed the ruggedness of camping and the luxury tent stay. It gave us an opportunity to see all this tour had to offer. We both also like the fact that this was a small local company and enjoyed our private group.
This trip definitely met and exceeded our expectations.

Unforgettable
The way Matoke handled the organization of our trip was very professional and they showed a flexibility that shows a true customer focus.
Our guide/driver Dunn was exeptional. He educated us about the history of the country, the wildlife and current developments. He made us feel completely safe and realized all of the small additional wishes.
I'd travell with Matoke again!

Back with lifetime memories, Thanks to Landside Adventures
Our trip to Tanzania was one of the best we've ever had thanks to Landside Adventures. We travelled as 2 families, 4 adults and 4 children, and shared 2 jeeps throughout our trip through Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongroro. Our guides, Maxon and Brian, were outstanding. Both of them were always trying to make our experience better, and were very enthusiastic, caring and knowledgeable. They never failed to answer our many questions about Tanzania and its wildlife. The jeeps were of top quality as well. They were well maintained, clean, and had many features such as wifi and air conditioning which enhanced the trip. The itenary that was planned for us was also great. It made the most of our seven day, six night trip. We never felt rushed through the safari yet we still managed to see a lot of the three national parks, and many animals in them too. They made us see even more animals as they were able to spot them from far away. Because of them, we were able to see rare animals, like rhinos and caracals. Overall, our holiday in Tanzania was magnificent thanks to Landside Adventures, and we will definitely recommend it to family and friends,

Exceptional safari planners
Choosing this agency as my travel company was the best decision I made for a vacation with my mother and my brother. I reached out to them via email. Shortly after contacting them I received the information of what my trip would entail and they advised me on the Masaai Mara trip since it was during the great migration at the destination during my conversation with Paul our agent he asked many questions, very interested in finding out about my family and what we would prefer to see and do, he truly took the time to get to know us so that he could help plan a memorable experience.
I couldn't have been happier with the itinerary that Paul presented to us. It made the trip real and incredibly exciting, during the trip the driver was so much helpful nothing phased him and he seemed completely happy to help and guide us on the wildlife and every aspect we encountered. It is terribly hard to pick out the good things of our trip because everything was so stress free and amazing. This company was a blessing to us and I would use them and recommend them everywhere and they will be forever in our hearts because of the hard work they did to ensure our time and travel was perfect. My friends and I are planning another safari at the end of the year in Amboseli and Serengeti Tanzania and we will definitely book with Simba Paka safaris.

Greate 12-days budget safari in Kenya and Tanzania
I booked a 12-days budget safari in Kenya and Tanzania with my girlfriend. The trip started and ended in Nairobi. Erick and his team was well taking care of us.
The driver picked us up at the Nairobi airport and drove us to the Decasa Hotel which Erick reserved for us. We met Erick there and discussed our trip in details.
The payment had to be done partly up fron in cash which as a bit difficult but we agreed to transfer the rest by bank.
The next day we met the rest of the group in the Nairobi city center and we started our trip to Masai Mara. The driver was our main contact person during the whole trip. If we needed something they have taken care of it. We slept in basic hotels or tented camps. In Tanzania we were sleeping 2 nights in a tent and a sleeping bag. Price quality is good.
The organisation was smooth and we enjoyed very much the trip. I would book again. Thank you Erick!

Karibuni Guest !
My Mother and I we had a very good safari experience. The trip from Dar es Salaam to the Selous took about 5 hours even more, but it was worth it to see the bush wild. It was a great safari trip. Every thing went good was friendly. very good in communications, service, living, in our 3-Days - 2 Nights safaris in Selous Game Reserve. The owner Ndamungu is very helpful and honestly person. Our driver guide named Mwansangila is a great person. Accomodation, we were in Hippo Camp and was good and clean, also food. Bush wild it was amazing, we saw lions (simba), girafe, zebra, crocodile, hypopotamus, we cross the river of Sélou with a lot of yellow birds.
We Hopefully it was like a dream.

Fantastic safari
From the very first e-mail, E-Trip was excellent. They answered all of my questions very quickly. The itinerary was perfect and the lodges and tent camps were very good with excellent service. We started in Tarangire for 2 nights, then drove through Lake Manyara to stay two nights at the top of the crater Ngorongoro. We went into the crater early the next morning and spent the day there. The next morning we drove to the central Serengeti to a mobile tent camp. We spent 2 nights there and then went to the northern Serengeti for 2 nights. We saw everything! We saw so many sunrises and sunsets. Our guide, Jouseff, was outstanding.He was very knowledgeable about all the animals and plants. Also, the vehicle that we were in had wifi and a way to charge our cell phones. Sometimes the wifi was spotty, but we posted pictures eventually. We then flew from the northern Serengeti to Rwanda to see the gorillas and golden monkeys. Our guide there was also excellent with his making sure we were able to see the golden monkeys and make our 4:30 flight. This was a trip of a lifetime. I wouldn't have changed anything about our trip!

my experence
Our remit was flora and landscape which we got brilliantly, but we never expected such luxury and fine dining. Many thanks for all you have done to make our short stay so wonderful and memorable.
Superb and needs to be repeated!
