Amazing African wildlife safari experience with northern circuit adventure
I am zubair from southern part of india. In February 2014 I was realized my life's ambition that a African wildlife safari. When I was looking for a good safari operator in whole Africa, so many different companies I found. Including northern circuit adventure. Finally I chose northern circuit adventure by only one email. They are provided all information about safari with first e mail. Why I choose them? Answer is very simple . very cheap price. I was contacted with more than 10 companies, but I can't accept them bcs of highly expensive. Finally I went kilimanjaro international airport. I got visa on arrival at the airport within 10 minutes. I was alone. I went out from terminal building. There the director of northern circuit adventure mr Michael Ndallo(Mike) waiting for me with his car. He took me to a good hotel in arusha. Very nice person. I was changed my concept about African people while our journey to arusha with Mike.
Next day morning we're leaving arusha for our 5 days safari. The safari car was good. Almost all facilities on board. Guide book, charging sockets, refrigerator, ex. Our driver was Solomon(solo). He able to speak very good English and he have good knowledge about wildlife and national parks. Very friendly and helpful person. Next nice thing is foood. Our cook was Gabriel. Always prepare something special. Food was excellent. Even suitable for Europeans.
The game drive is a amazing experience for us. We can see almost all types of animals very close. Our driver solo was very nice. He stop car and explain about animals. It is very helpful for us. Totally very excited and amazing trip. Next time I will be with same company. Thanks alot for mike and his team. Keep your dedication upon your clients... god bless you...

Knowledgeable as well as likeable people!
When it comes to customer centricity, knowledge and know-how, these two people are in front of the line. I have travelled quite a bit and it is difficult to find tour operators that befriend you in this manner - well done to Johan & Elize, you are a shining example for excellent tour operators!!
Amazing
I am a Kenyan, born and raised in Nairobi and hadn't yet visited Masai Mara until Last year December(2013). My family and I were hesitant because of the rains and Mara is known to be impassible during the rainy season but we decided to go ahead and not cancel our booking. Aren't we glad we went to the Mara. By road, its almost a 5hr drive on tarmac road until you reach Narok town where the tarmac just starts reducing until there is none as you get near the park. I have been to some Parks and Reserves in Kenya but Mara was the best. We saw a lot of lions(which isn't easy), leopards playing around and some of the prettiest tallest giraffes I have ever seen, among other wildlife. Now we know what the fuss is all about and cannot wait to back during the migration period. We booked directly through Sarova group and stayed at Sarova Mara and it was fantastic, best customer service ever. Our tour driver/guide was from Somak Safaris and he knew his wildlife.
P.s if you can, splurge more on hiring a land cruiser than a tour van when planning to tour Masai Mara. once you get to the rough roads, that's when you really appreciate the 4wd.

The best company to visit Africa with!
I was lucky enough to be on one if Africa Expedition Support's tours in 2006 and again in 2007. The knowledge that they have of the whole of Africa is second to none, their stories and sense of fun was an unexpected bonus which really made the trip for me. I have done a few safaris over the years but Africa Expedition Support's safaris are the ones I remember the most and which were the most impressive. Not only do I always recommend them to anyone I know who is thinking of going to Africa but I am also counting down the days until I can do another trip with them!

Great value for little money
I did a seven day camping safari with Northern Circuit Adventure. I was in five parks in seven days and saw tons of animals (inclucing the Big Five)! It can be a little stressful to visit five parks in seven days, but you will see a lot and make the most out of your stay. The food was good, we had nice tents and sleeping gear. The staff was very helpful with the tents and everything else, good communication with Mike. The guys were always right on time, which can be difficult in Africa :-)
Great budget safari for people who want to see lots of animals for little money.

Excellent planning of the tour, friendly competent guides, always on time. A very good recommendatio
It was a pleasure to realise the roundtrip with this company. The guides were very good in knowledge about the nature and also about the actual economic situation in uganda. The recommended accommodations were in a good condition and very clean. It was a great experience.

A perfect Safari
Perfect organization and very serious throughout. Notifications pre safari took place via email and phone with Robert and post-safari briefing with Greyson for final verification that all went well. We had a great time with our guide Rama. Planet Lodge in Arusha and Country Lodge in Karatu good starting points to move to the parks. Thanks to them our nature adventure was unforgettable.

Really being in Africa
For the beginning of 2012 we had signed up for a trip through Botswana and Namibia with Indigo Safaris. We were thoroughly satisfied with the way everything was organised and with what we saw and there is very little we can add to the laudatory enthusiasm of the other reviews, but we particularly and unforgettably remember - from Namibia - the long, steep sweaty climb in the deep, hot, sifting, flowing sand of the dark-orange dunes, and driving up the long, dry, sandy bed of the Hoanib River in its remote valley and, sitting still in the infinitely silent midday heat under the endless deep blue sky, watching a group of dusty desert elephants clustered around their young ones, lazily fanning their ears as they eyed us from under a spreading canopy of acacias.
Christopher Bartlett knows Africa well, is a very competent and resourceful guide and inspires total confidence. Do not hesitate. No problem with the five stars.
Excellent ratio quality price

Flexible East African safari
I have just spent 4 weeks travelling Uganda and Tanzania with the East African Safari and Touring company run by Simon who lives in Tanzania. 2 families travelled together and put together a unique itinerary including the mountain gorillas, Serengeti, Zanzibar and Mafia island. All accommodation, travel and food was included. The company provided excellent service overall and come highly recommended, the guides were easy to get on with, well informed and competent. Some of the accommodation was at company owned lodges adding to the unique feel to the trip. Flights were booked but what seems to be a Tanzanian trend, only fully paid for the day prior, creating a bit of uncertainty when the flights departed until the day of the flight! Despite this all flights happened! Contact details to use if plans have to change would have been useful on the itineraries, short failing for a great, well priced trip and highly recommended.
