Amazing
This was one of the best trips of my life all thanks to Issa and Suma! We saw so many animals! Suma got us so close to them even with so many cars! Issa was so patient with all my questions and accommodating my requests! The food was the best we’ve had on any trip also! The accommodations and people everywhere were so sweet! I looked at over 15-30 different companies and it can be overwhelming. It’s also easier to go with a more established company but don’t be fooled by Goldfinch! They helped curate a once in a lifetime trip!

Excellent
I had an incredible experience due to the excellent tour operator I was provided by white horse safaris and even the fees are affordable. Would love to cooperate with white horse safaris again.

Professional, fun and detail-oriented
Booked a weekend safari with Matunda Tours and could not leave more satisfied. The team is very professional, obsessed with giving the client the best experience focusing on every detail in a safe and fun environment. I would definitely recommend it and will repeat in the future.

Very organized, supportive and helpful
The communication ran with Charlie and the tour with Isack. Charlie was able to keep the communication fast and open all the time, that was decisive.
The main guide organized a magnanimous trip, nothing left behind and with a very humane treatment.
About the money, we had to pay it in cash on the spot, and the tips are recommended to be around 20%, but in the end seemed fair for everything, so be prepared for that.
The trip per se was impeccable.

A reliable and professional operator for a truly tailor-made Safari
We had a wonderful mid-range safari experience in Tanzania with Somewhere in Africa and would definitely recommend them.
From the beginning, Eliakim helped us create a tailor-made itinerary based on our wishes and interests, including Tarangire, Northern Serengeti for the Great Migration, Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Communication was clear and professional, and everything went smoothly throughout the trip.
The Great Migration was truly incredible and one of the highlights of our safari. We had the chance to see a lot of animals and this made us so happy!
Our driver-guide, Daudi, was very knowledgeable and spoke very good Italian. He shared many interesting insights about the animals and their behaviour and understood what we hoped to see, choosing suitable areas while always respecting park rules and wildlife.
We were also very happy with all the accommodations: fantastic locations, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and excellent food.
Overall, Somewhere in Africa proved to be a reliable and well-organized operator, with great flexibility and attention to our wishes. A special thank you to Eliakim and Daudi and the whole Team for a truly memorable safari!

An Exceptional Guide — Richard Made Our Tanzania Safari Unforgettable
I recently spent a week on safari in Tanzania with Richard as our private guide, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. Richard was a huge part of what made this one of the best trips we have ever taken.
From the very beginning, Richard was professional, friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. His ability to spot wildlife was amazing — many times he would see something in the distance that we never would have noticed on our own. Even more impressive was his knowledge of the animals, birds, their behavior, and the areas we traveled through. He didn’t just drive us from one sighting to another; he helped us understand what we were seeing and made the entire safari more interesting.
Richard also seemed to have an instinct for knowing where to go and when to go there. On safari, that can make all the difference. He worked hard every day to give us the best possible experience and never made us feel rushed. If something interesting was happening, we stayed. If we wanted to stop for photographs or simply sit and watch the animals, we did. The trip felt like our safari rather than a rigid schedule we had to follow.
Just as important, after spending an entire week together, Richard felt much more like a friend than simply our guide. He has a wonderful personality, is easy to talk with, and genuinely cares about the people he is guiding. We laughed a lot, learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed spending our days with him.
I have traveled quite a bit, and I know the difference between someone who is simply doing their job and someone who takes real pride in making sure his guests have an extraordinary experience. Richard is absolutely the latter.
In fact, we enjoyed the experience so much that I am already seriously considering returning to Tanzania in 2028 or 2029 with some of our adult children — and if we do, Richard is the person I want guiding us again. I think that probably says more than anything else I could write.
If you are considering a safari I strongly recommend Tanzania Memories Tours & Safaris, I also would recommend asking for Richard. Tanzania itself is spectacular, but having the right guide can turn a great safari into an unforgettable one.
Thank you again, Richard. I came home with incredible memories, hundreds of photos, and a new friend in Tanzania.

Great, highly recommended
Our guide was really responsible, kept an eye on us the whole time, and showed us lots of animals - we even saw a rhino.

The most organized , safest tour operator we could have ever entrusted our trip of a lifetime with
We engaged Avant Africa , to take care of 4 weeks of accommodations , shuttles and some excusions while attending the The Greatest Rivalry rugby tour . On quote presentation we actually undertook a private spreadsheet costings via Booking .com etc , and found Avant to actually be cheaper to organize and take all the hassle, security out of it .
All accommodations were spot on position and quality wise , thereafter we had a well documented itinerary to follow alongside , connectivity with Justin (Avant representee) anywhere we had concerns .
Well some 24 shuttle trips later where not one was late , and as clean and well presented as you'd expect , and a month of accommodations , wine regions, Soweto tours , balloon safaris later I can conclude and warmly advise that this company is a 100 % provider of what they offer .
We are thankful of the wonderful stressless , safe trip enjoyed by all 6 of us , Thank you Avant
