We would happily travel to Tanzania again in the future
This 7-day family safari in Tanzania with Agama Tours. Definitely Agama Tours was our great choice and we got a peaceful family time.
Our guide Francis was exceptional and worked hard to ensure we had the best experience possible. He answered every question and made each safari drive educational and enjoyable. We loved waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying the beautiful scenery every day. Spending quality time together as a family without any hassle was one of the best moments of this trip. The warm hospitality we received from the Agama Tours team throughout the journey made the experience unforgettable and special.

Excellent Safari Guide – Highly Recommended
We would like to express our sincere appreciation for our safari guide and driver.
He made a huge difference in our trip and truly exceeded all expectations. His knowledge was exceptional—there was never a question he could not answer. He was always professional, proactive, courteous, and willing to help.
His excellent English made communication very easy, and his experience and strong relationships with other guides and lodge staff greatly enhanced our safari experience. Thanks to his dedication and communication skills, we were able to see the Big Five during our one-week trip, something we know is not always easy to achieve.
We were also impressed by his attention to detail. Every morning, the vehicle was spotless, cleaned and fully prepared for the day ahead, with everything we needed for a comfortable safari already organized and ready.
He deserves five stars and more. We are very grateful for everything he did to make our safari so memorable.
Thank you for having such an outstanding professional on your team!

An unforgettable safari experience, all thanks to John!
John was hands down the best guide we could have ever asked for! His English is flawless, he is incredibly polite, and he kept the car spotless every single day.
He is extremely knowledgeable, always sharing amazing facts about the wildlife and answering every single question we had. On top of that, his experience and respect toward other guides played a huge role in helping us spot so many animals throughout our safari.

John always made sure to position the car perfectly, giving us the absolute best views and photo opportunities. He was so determined to help us check everything off our list that we managed to see the Big 5 days before our trip even ended! He truly made our safari an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

A very efficient, friendly, comfortable and perfect journey
The four of us went to the African-Kantan Ring Road for 10 days this time. For some reason, it was a temporary idea, so the plane took off on the 11th and did not start looking for a group on safari booking until the 4th.
Because of the tight time, the Splendid Vacation we were looking for replied to me by email soon after my consultation. I added their WeChat at 4 o'clock local time in Kenya, and they gave me a very detailed and exquisite quotation at 9 local time in Kenya. It's so fast that I'm very shocked.
Our trip went well. The hotels were also clean, beautiful and comfortable. The speed of booking hotels by the ground pick-up agency was also very fast. Later, they upgraded our accommodation. I am very grateful to them. These hotels are so beautiful that I have found a sense of leisure.
In addition, the guide Gabriel is very friendly, patient and has good eyesight. The second guide, Jackson, is a guide with about ten years of experience. He is very careful about finding animals. He communicated with us very smoothly and friendly, and also took us to find two leopards who only sleep in trees. They gave me a very Perfect experience.
In general, I am very grateful to the Splendid Vacation. On the one hand, their quotation is very fast, the hotel they stay in is also very good, and the proportion of deposit payment has also been reduced a lot. We use WeChat to communicate, which is very efficient.

Beautiful safari
An amazing safari, organized down to the smallest detail. We saw so many animals and stayed in beautiful places. Our guide, Steve, was wonderful and incredibly kind—he explained everything so well and showed us so many things. He was truly fantastic.

Michael was fun, knowledgeable and showed us ALL the animals!
We learned about Kenya and some of its history, and Michael was also able to share great information about the animals as he drove us around the park. We laughed a lot (especially at the opportunistic baboons who pulled off a heist), and got up close to so many animals. The zebras were my personal favorite!

Extremely efficient, responsive and professional.
Visited Nyungwe and Volcanoes National Parks in Rwanda with three grandchildren. An exhilarating and wonderful wildlife experience. M.Taufique was our guide who contributed substantially to the fun and excitement of the trip. The quality of the lodges was “top drawer”. The quality of the safari company could not be improved upon. Memorable.

Kojuu Safaris
I chose Kojuu from 19 tour operators that I had contacted. What drew me to this tour operator is their transparency in what they offer in their quotes, particularly the unlimited mileage. This is something tour operators won't normally disclose. They are also TATO member.
But most notable is Edson / Edison, the tour consultant assigned to us. He really went above and beyond in curating a very customized itinerary for me. Always available for questions and communications. He wrote the quote perfectly well according to specifics I told him, unlike the tour consultants from other tour operators. He was hands on before, during and after our trip.
Our guide was topnotch. He was with us for 7 days, the first day being transfer from JRO to Karatu and the last day being transfer from Serengeti to Arusha. We had 1 full day in Ngorongoro, 3 full days in Serengeti and 1 day transfer from Karatu to Serengeti.
I can really tell he is an outstanding driver. For 2 out of our 3 full days in Serengeti, we went to Western Serengeti (reaching Kirawira airstrip) in search of Great Migration and Grumeti River crossing and South Eastern plains of Serengeti in search of cheetahs, returning daily to our base accommodation in Togoro plains which is really far from these areas.
There are just some things that I wish that could have happened for us:
1. We really wanted sunrise game drives in Serengeti (i.e. leave the accommodation at 6am, bringing breakfast boxes), but it was never granted. One time, I have to negotiate to make the starting time 7am as the guide proposed 8am. It felt like we were not asked what time we start the day, but just more of we should just follow. I needed to be assertive to get what we want.
2. It sometimes felt like our requests as to where we want to go were not heeded well. E.g. I asked that we go to central plains for 1 of the full game drives but we were diverted to hippo pools in Seronera valley. Again, I needed to assert so that we go directly to the plains instead of making some detours as time is limited and the plains are far away.
3. Because of number 1 above, we never had game drives that lasted 12 hours. We are not demanding that all 3 full day drives went 12 hours, but we're hoping at least 1 of them would have been like this.
4. The WiFi is not consistent. I can tell the data plan for us is not for the full 7 days as our e-Sim worked but the WiFi did not, in areas that we expect it would, e.g. Seronera hub. Note: WiFi is part of the inclusion.
5. There were some inclusions that were not included. E.g. coffee, tea and wine. These inclusions were part of deciding factor in booking Kojuu over others. These not being included kinda felt cutting corners which I feel it should not have as Kojuu's pricing is above the mean/average quotes from 19 tour operators.
Having all things considered, I am still glad I booked Kojuu. Edson's dedication, the guide's competence and the promise of unlimited mileage were still worth it.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES
I had an amazing 4-day safari with African Flowers Adventures together with my mother. Winnie arranged everything perfectly from start to finish, making the trip completely stress-free. Our chef, Calvin, was wonderful, and the food was delicious throughout the tour. We also really enjoyed our guide, who was knowledgeable, professional, and helped us spot all of the Big Five! African Flowers Adventures created an unforgettable experience for us, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable safari in Tanzania.

Amos, our driver for the 4 days was amazing and went out of his way to get us to all the animals.
Axis safaris was great with organizing everything. I started worried about the planning and the cost of the trip but Axis made everything super easy. They are the most cost efficient as well and taking those savings, I suggest a C or D package to masai mara and lake nakuru. I would skip lake naivasha if possible. If you are short on time then do masai mara for the 2 nights. Everything in the tour is covered so there are minimal expenses.
