The Trip Of A Lifetime
This was an absolutely amazing trek on Kilimanjaro. Yusuph helped us book the trek and was great at sorting all the pre and post trek logistics. We were assigned two outstanding guides, Brian and Jackson, who catered to every need while keeping us safe. The porters were also amazing as they helped out with the chores, setting up and breaking down camps, and all the heavy lifting. I was pleased to note that our operator had provided them with great personal gear and our gear was also of high quality. We are very happy with the overall organization, resources, and execution of our trek. I highly recommend Tanzania Wildlife Adventures to anyone who is considering attempting to trek up Kilimanjaro.

A wonderful Tanzanian Safari experience with African Big Cats Safaris
We flew into Tanzania and were met by our Driver/Guide (Khalid) on the first evening. On the way to our Hotel that night he fully briefed us on details for the next day, as he did every day.
The next morning, we were met by the company's managing director who answered any questions we had as well as reviewing our itinerary.
The safari commenced after breakfast each day, driving to and around one of the four safari parks; Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Serengeti National Park, Manyara Lake Reserve. The experience was amazing we saw and photographed many animals in their natural environment each location was very different with stunning scenery, plant and bird life as well. Khaled kept us well informed about each area, animals etc, and ensured that we were positioned well to photograph each animal we encountered, including a cheetah cub that decided to investigate the cab of our vehicle by leaping onto our vehicle's bonnet.
Each day Khaled ensured that we arrived at an area set aside for safari vehicles where he unpacked our delicious picnic lunch and served it to us outdoors in a lovely location in the park in.
By late afternoon early evening we would arrive at the luxury Game Lodge for the evening. The accommodation was in beautiful locations, luxurious and the meals were of a very high standard.
Our experience was relived again with the company's owner immediately prior to being returned safely to the airport. It was an opportunity to to review and comment on any issue we felt raising directly with a person who was able to do something about it and most importantly with someone who really cared.
From our first contact, communications with the staff during the process, payment, issue of our itinerary was handled well by the staff. The safari was well thought out and we would thoroughly recommend this company and its guide. In short, a great value for money experience with African Big Cats Safari.

Safari experience of a lifetime with our guide Ibra
Savannah Explorers crafted a wonderful weeklong safari across northern Tanzania for us. The scheduling and communication was very responsive and accommodating. Once the safari began, it was clear that our guide Ibra was an expert. He knew where to go in each park and reserve to see so much. He took care of us from dawn to dusk! Thank you!

Pius, our guide, was an exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate expert who transformed our safari
My recent safari in Tanzania was incredible, largely thanks to our amazing guide, Pius, and the excellent trip coordination by Jeremiah. Pius's knowledge of the local wildlife and ecosystems was outstanding; he could spot animals from incredible distances and shared fascinating insights about their behavior. His passion for the Tanzanian wilderness was truly infectious.
Jeremiah, who organized our trip, ensured everything ran smoothly. From the initial booking to the daily logistics, his communication was clear, prompt, and incredibly helpful. He tailored the itinerary to our interests, making sure we experienced the best of what Tanzania had to offer.
Together, Pius and Jeremiah made our safari an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania!

very good，Overall, it was super interesting! I saw a bunch of animals that I used to only see at the zoo. It was such a great experience. The process of looking for the animals was also really fun. I was so excited that day.

Reliable and available when questions were asked
We booked a 7-day Safari with Jocky Tours and our assigned driver for the trip was Papa John. We had a very great experience and were also lucky enough to see all that is part of a great Safari (Big 5, Cheetas, Hippos and the Kilimanjaro).
Our driver was always helpful and tried to accommodate our needs!

Climbing Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours Successfully
I recently traveled to Tanzania to attempt summitting Mt Kilimanjaro with Zara Tours. Pickup was timely and Springlands Hotel was clean, with comfortable beds and a delicious breakfast. The climb was challenging but extremely rewarding. The weather was great at this time of year, with clear skies throughout the trek. Our crew gave us exceptional support and truly enhanced the trip with their passion and care. The food by Calisto, our chef, was outstanding; we enjoyed an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Bonnie and Musa were outstanding as guides, helping us safely navigate challenging moments, like the summit night. I would highly recommend Zara Tours to anyone seeking excellent service on Kilimanjaro.

Very-organised and knowledgeable.
My wife and I did a fantastic 4 full day Safari Tour with African Big Cats Safari for our honeymoon through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and The Serengeti. Our guide Venance was great, showing us all the animals and offering great insight and knowledge about each animal and Tanzania. Emanuel and Naomi were also great in organising the tour and accommodation including accounting for my wife's food allergies. Each Safari Lodge selected was super comfortable. I'd 100% recommend African Big Cats Safaris to any traveller considering a Safari in Tanzania and I have already recommended the company to a number of friends who are interested in this trip.

Beyond the excellent safari was the experience of being catered so attentively
We just spent nine days having our minds blown every day. After the first day at Tarangire our camera already had 600 animal photos. The trip would have been great and we could have just called it a success.
But then….. after the first night in our tented camp we woke up to rustling and opened our tent flap to see a family of twelve elephants had come to see us, literally waving their trunks in greeting.
That type of experience happened EVERY SINGLE day. I cannot say enough praise about Passionate Guides and how Beatus was able to plan this whole experience for our family. In addition to an incredible set of safari days we also took time in Arusha to experience a bit of local culture including getting the best fade haircut a white man might ever experience by going to Beatus's own barber). We also did a 10 mile hike at Kilimanjaro.
Passionate Guides, under his leadership, goes to sleep after you have crashed, wakes up before you to prep supplies for the day, and then spends all day listening to your desires and making sure they get realized. We kept giving new challenges, "that was great but now we would like to see...." and then somehow within 24 hours Beatus kept working it in. We saw more than 120 different species of animals during our trip -and- a wildebeest river crossing to cap it all off.
We simply have never been treated more kindly and attentively than our time with Passionate Guides. Thank you Beatus.
