Wonderful Family Safari with Excellent Lodges and Attention to Detail
We had an outstanding experience with Tallena Tours and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania.
A special thank you to Mercy, the owner, Victor, who handled our arrangements, and Philip, our guide and driver. From the time we booked until the end of the safari, Mercy and Victor stayed in touch to make sure everything was going smoothly and that the experience was meeting our expectations. Their attention and customer service were exceptional.
Our safari included Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara in Kenya, as well as the Serengeti in Tanzania. The accommodations selected by Tallena Tours, including the Sopa Lodges in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara and Heritage Luxury Camp in the Serengeti, were excellent choices and fit perfectly within our selected budget while still providing a high quality experience.
Philip was knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to making sure we had the best wildlife viewing opportunities possible. His experience and passion for wildlife made every game drive enjoyable and memorable.
What impressed us most was Tallena Tours’ ability to deliver a well organized, high quality safari while staying within our selected budget. Thank you, Mercy, Victor, and Philip, for an unforgettable adventure and memories that will last a lifetime.

Excellent 3 day safari
As medical students from Norway spending time in Africa for our exchange program, we wanted to experience a safari, and choosing Utukufu Travels and Adventures was one of the best decisions we made.
Exaudy and his team provided exceptional service from start to finish. His knowledge of wildlife was incredible, and everything was organized perfectly. We always felt welcomed and comfortable around the team, whose hospitality went above and beyond.
The accommodations and food were amazing, and every hotel was chosen with great care. We will definitely encourage the next group of students coming to Africa to book their safari with Utukufu Travels and Adventures.

Trip of a Lifetime with Tallena Tours
Our family had an amazing experience with Tallena Tours. We traveled with our 15 year old son, and from the beginning, Mercy and Victor made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout the safari, they checked in regularly to ensure everything was going well and that we were enjoying the experience.
The accommodations were excellent and perfectly matched what we were looking for within our selected budget. The Sopa Lodges in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara and Heritage Luxury Camp in the Serengeti offered beautiful views, comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a wonderful safari atmosphere.
The food was outstanding, with buffet style meals offering plenty of variety and quality. We also appreciated the very complete lunch boxes provided on full day game drives, which made our days in the parks even more enjoyable.
Everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the staff at every lodge were welcoming and attentive. The attention to detail throughout the trip was impressive.
A special thank you to Philip, our guide and driver, whose knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made the safari truly memorable. He worked hard every day to give us the best possible wildlife experiences.
Tallena Tours delivered an exceptional safari experience while staying within our selected budget. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable, well organized, and unforgettable family safari in Kenya and Tanzania.

Reliable, well-organized safari operator with expert guides and unforgettable experiences.
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, visiting Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
The entire trip was very reliable and exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Libe, was very friendly, highly professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to his practical experience and deep understanding of the wildlife and national parks, he always brought us to the best locations where we could observe many animals up close. He also shared fascinating information about the animals, their behavior, and the parks, which made the experience even more enriching.
Throughout the safari, we always felt safe and well taken care of with our guide. His expertise, driving skills, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence at all times.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all our expectations. We would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an amazing wildlife adventure in Tanzania.

Perfectly planned
I highly recommend Tropical Wild Expeditions for the safari I just completed as a solo traveler. Our guide was excellent in game spotting. Thank you and I highly recommend anyone wanting to book with TWE.
EXCELLENT SAFARI, EXCELLENT GUIDE
Serengeti Smile was an incredible company to work with from start to finish. Godian was very helpful and communicative during the planning process and when we arrived to Tanzania. Our safari was the most amazing experience we have ever had! Our guide, Pius, was INCREDIBLE. He was so knowledgable, kind, communicative, and patient. Spending the week with him on our safari was so memorable, and we could not have asked for a better guide and safari company. Pius taught us so much about the environment, the animals, the national parks, and the great migration. He went above and beyond so we could see the big 5. Throughout the week, we had excellent food, stayed in beautiful lodges, and met the kindest people along the way. Since returning to the US, we have already recommended Serengeti Smile and Pius as the guide, to our friends and family who plan on doing a safari in Tanzania next year. 10 stars!

An utterly amazing holiday extremely well organised
ASM travel and Arthur came highly recommended and this definitely proved the case.
We had a week in Zimbabwe - Victoria falls and Hwange national park.
Everything was seamlessly organised and adapted for what we wanted. Transportation was organised to and from everywhere including help at passport control. The team where brilliant including Last, Bothwell and PAul. The team were happy to help adapt any changes we requested.
We visited Victoria falls, completed safaris in Victoria falls, Chobe and Hwange national parks, went to angels pool and the wild horizons elephant sanctuary.
There were so many pinch me moments including watching elephants bathe and seeing leopards and cheetahs. Our hotels Victoria falls oasis and Hwange safari lodge were both brilliant. Tho Hwange is a several hour drive it is definitely 100% worth it!! All transportation is organised by Arthur. This exceptional organisation means you have nothing to do but enjoy your holiday. This was one of my favourite holidays and i did not want to leave.
Would not use anyone else in the area

Highly knowlegeable, Professional, focused and a pleasure to be with throughout the 16 days
We were really happy with our birding guide Isaac and driver Baraka on our recent 16 day trip to northern Tanzania and the Usambara mountains. Isaac was very patient and a great teacher for us on East Africa birds. As a birder he is highly experienced and his fieldcraft was outstanding. He knows lots of hotspots intimately and he knows where and how to locate lots of highly restricted east African endemics. We found him to be impressive technically, and he was very comfortable to discuss races and potential splits and lumps. We found Isaac to be a dedicated professional - he does not like us to miss anything. He also enjoys having fun as well and the banter with him and Baraka was a very positive part of the trip. Most importantly we found them to be very good company over a pretty intense 16 day trip. Summing up, I would recommend Isaac to any serious birder wanting to see Tanzania and other parts of east Africa too. Credit too to Davis for the overall coordination of the trip. Together you all gave us a marvellous experience that we will long cherish.
