Awesome trip and very smooth organisation!
I recently did a tour with Arrive Africa Safaris for 5 nights/6 days, Edith from Africa Arrivals organised a guide/driver for me and everything went smoothly and I highly recommend them because of their professionalism, organisation and value for money.
Customer service - from the beginning to the end Edith from Arrive Africa Safaris has been very helpful, transparent with costs and she responds fast. I came up with a draft itinerary as I had s very tight time frame and budget but Edith was always very patient and informative with her responses.
The guide/driver - I had Moses as my guide as well as my driver for the week. Moses is very experienced and knowledgeable as he's been in the industry since 2000 and also has a very gentle and kind heart. Moses was always on time, gave clear briefings the night before and went beyond the call of his duty to get me pain killers as I slipped on a slippery rock while doing the gorilla trekking. For half of the trip I was in pain while sitting in the car and this trip involves quiet a bit of driving. I know Moses became extra careful while driving since I had my mini accident as he would drive over potholes on his side and get my side of the car on a smooth surface as much as possible.
Bonus - another reason why I highly recommend Moses is that he volunteered to take me to visit a local fish village. Most guides and drivers just want to tick off things on the itinerary list then go back to their accommodation and rest, but not Moses. Moses also took me to local restaurant to eat lunches to save money and would wait for me in his car for hours when I'm doing the chimps see trekking and the boat tour. Very reliable and understanding.
Value for money - from the very beginning I've told Edith that I have a very tight time frame and tight budget and I wanted to spend minimum money on things like accommodation, foods, extra staff members etc. so I found cheap accommodations myself, only eat one or two meals a day etc Edith was very accommodation with my requests as I know many other tour operators would just say no to me or tell me what I want to do is not possible or below their standards. But Edith was different, if she does say no she explains why so that I understand and come up with other options or compromises. If you have $2,000usd plus additional money for flight, you can easily have a really good time and do both gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, stay in nice places and still have money left over after a week of holidays in Uganda.
I had a great trip, Uganda is different to Tanzania, different to Rwanda (do you know that they speak French there?) and they have amazing trees and animals on the side of the roads, it's just so beautiful and full of surprises :) I hope you have s chance to visit Uganda one day :)

Non commercial, personal holidays, thanks to Blue Crane Safaris
This was our 3rd holidays in last 4 years with Blue Crane and everytime the experience get better. Unlike a few other safari operators i had used in the past, Blue Crane is far different in terms of organising holidays. The whole team is available to make the experience enjoyable, memorable and at any time they dont make you feel as a tourist. Good Team!!!
We look forward to holiday with them agains.

Traveling on a college budget - affordable and well worth it!
Based in Moshi, TZ, Mega Adventures was affordable, respectful, and exceptionally accommodating. I took four separate trips with Mega over the span of 3 weeks - each was incredible. Days trips to the Materuni, Lake Chala and Kili and a 4 day camping Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. All of my guides spoke great English, were very knowledgeable about wildlife, and were extremely patient to stop for pictures often!! Tanzanians driving can be quite nerve racking, but no worries Mega drivers know what they ade doing and are very safe. Camping was so fun! The sites were absolutely beautiful - sleeping in Serengeti is kind of awesome and sleeping under a huge fig tree on the rim of the crater was gorgeous! We had a full breakfast lunch and dinner every day - the food was really good (I've never eaten so much or so well camping). Be prepared for lots of bumpy roads and the free"African massage"! I hope to go back to Moshi very soon and look forward to working with Mega again!

South Africa .... experience of a lifetime.
I loved my 14 days in South Africa. All transfers were smooth and well planned. The lodging was excellent and Kerry made sure that I was totally taken care of. I stayed at lovely lodging that was not only aesthetically inviting, but the people were stellar. The safari was better than my imagination. I stayed at Notten's Bush Camp and would go there again and again. Besides the camp being beautiful, the people and food were outstanding. I saw all of the "Big 5" more than once and the drives were great. With some very minor changes, I would do this trip again and recommend it to everyone! Thank you Kerry for such a lovely experience.

Helpful, accommodating, and fun tour company!
Easy travel lives up to it's name - it makes planning a safari simple and fun! Caudence, who helped us plan and book our trip, was extremely responsive, helpful, and warm. She even gave us her cell phone in case we had any troubles in our travels after the safari. I'd recommend our guides, Cornel and Beni, who were knowledgeable, fun, and great at finding and spotting animals. Cornel was especially knowledgeable about all things Tanzania. Overall amazing experience and highly recommend booking a safari through Easy Travel!

Wonderful Safari
We had great communication from World Air Travel & Tours when requesting the quote and they quickly answered all of our questions by email. We were hesitant to send money to Africa - however everything was exactly as it was detailed on the quote & itinerary. Our guide Robbie was knowledgeable and knew the terrain very well. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. The lodges were hospitable and had excellent cuisine. There was one small issue (our issue) and both Robbie and Elias at head office did their best to solve it - we were very pleased with their solution. We highly recommend World Air Travel & Tours and our guide Robbie!
