good
Responses and issue resolution were prompt, and the owner was very patient. Our guide, Emma, was fantastic; the itinerary was well-planned, and the accommodation was great. The owner even thoughtfully arranged a birthday cake for me, as my birthday fell during the trip—it was wonderful.

Excellent. Very patient, and resolved the issue very promptly!
It was a fantastic experience. The hotel and the itinerary were excellent, and the guide was very patient. We managed to see almost all the animals—we successfully ticked off the "Big Five"! We also had a perfect view of the Great Migration river crossing.

Great company, all interactions with Nafika were timely and professional.
My husband and I, both 58, selected the 8 day Lemosho route with Nafika after reading so many positive reviews. Elias was great to deal with, even giving us a full refund when a knee injury forced a cancellation.
We then rebooked, 2 yrs later, with a stronger knee.
We were collected from the airport, then Meshack, our lead guide, checked our gear and filled any gaps.
Once you start out you quickly realise that ALL the companies use local guides and porters.
We had 18 crew, inc 3 guides for our group of 5.
Minus 34 sleeping bag provided was super cosy.
Pee bottle essential, especially on diamox. A challenge for me, 3 layers and on my knees!
Twice daily health checks, inc blood oxygen levels. The guides are well trained and experienced, and also monitor you as you go.
Altitude sickness is random and potentially serious, with Nafika your health is always the priority.
The tipping ceremony is very heart warming, we have so many great memories to treasure.
We are very grateful and proud to be Bubba and Mumma Simba to our Nafrika family.
We hope to return one day. ❤️

Fantastic
We can't say enough good things about our experience with Anya and Pembury Tours! Anya knocked it out of the park with the plans for our honeymoon to Cape Town, safari and Victoria Falls. Every hotel was fantastic, the tours were beautiful, all of the drivers were on time, if not early, and every detail was executed flawlessly. We had a fantastic trip and have passed Anya's info off to multiple friends and family already to book their own trips in the future. We will for sure reach out again for any future trips. Thank you Anya!

A great adventure with Aanika Karibu Safaris
A group of six friends of us went on a six-day trip visiting various nature parks. The trip was excellently organized—thanks to Roberts. The accommodations were superbly chosen, offering excellent quality that allowed us to experience the authentic atmosphere of the savanna while ensuring great comfort. Stevie was an enthusiastic guide who went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic safari adventure. Thank you; we recommend Aanika Karibu Safaris to others.

A dream safari come true
An unforgettable Kenya safari experience with Axis Safaris!
A big thank you to Peter for helping me select the perfect package and patiently answering all my questions before the trip. Special appreciation to Kelvin, who guided us for 5 days through Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha, helping us spot all of the Big Five. Thanks also to Mohammed, who made our Amboseli visit memorable with incredible elephant sightings and stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
This was truly one of my dream trips, and the team made it even more special. Highly professional, knowledgeable, and customer-focused. I highly recommend Axis Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

“My dreams, their dreams.” The Best Experience of My Life!
From the very beginning to the very end, our experience with Mateys Wild Tours was simply extraordinary.
We were a group of 9 Mexicans from Monterrey, Nuevo León, who came to Tanzania with one big dream: to live, feel, and witness the majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro.
And from the very first moment, the entire Mateys team made us feel that “my dreams are their dreams.” That philosophy truly made our experience even more special.
Every single person at Mateys was wonderful. They were always attentive, caring, professional, and genuinely concerned about each one of us. They took care of every detail, making us feel safe, comfortable, and incredibly well looked after throughout the entire journey.
Everything was excellent — the food, the accommodations, the cabins, the organization, and every detail of the climb. But without a doubt, the very best part of Mateys Wild Tours is its people. Their warmth, dedication, and passion are what make them truly unique.
And the adventure didn’t end with Kilimanjaro!
After completing our climb, we continued our journey through Tanzania: we visited the Ngorongoro Crater, spent time with the Maasai, experienced an unforgettable hot-air balloon safari, and then enjoyed two incredible days exploring the Serengeti.
It was an incredible journey filled with unforgettable moments, breathtaking landscapes, amazing wildlife, and experiences that will stay in our hearts forever.
THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!
A huge thank you to Philipo and the entire Mateys Wild Tours team for making our dream come true — and for making our dream feel like your dream too.
You didn't just organize a trip. You helped us live a dream.
We are incredibly grateful for every detail, every smile, every “are you okay?”, every meal, every thoughtful gesture, and for always being there for us.
100% recommended! If you are dreaming of climbing Kilimanjaro or discovering the magic of Tanzania, I cannot recommend Mateys Wild Tours enough.
Thank you, Philipo, and to each and every member of your amazing team for making this journey absolutely unforgettable.
We hope to see you again very soon! 🇹🇿❤️🇲🇽

Once in a lifetime experience!
We recently completed the 8-Day Great Migration Safari with Safari Soles and had an amazing time exploring Tarangire NP, Northern and Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater - finishing the experience with a day in the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro. Jamal at Safari Soles was extremely helpful with planning the itinerary from our first contact, and everything was taken care of, the accommodation, food and drinks in the vehicle. We saw a huge variety of wildlife, far more than the Big 5, and had some remarkable up-close experiences. The vehicle was comfortable and well cared for, and our guide, Raymond, was extremely knowledgeable and a great driver who couldn't do enough for us. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Highly Recommended! An Unforgettable and Safe Safari Experience
First and foremost, this safari tour operator is of the highest quality. My wife initially had some anxieties about visiting Kenya, but thanks to Bushtop, she felt completely safe throughout the trip and says it has become the memory of a lifetime.
Denis, who managed our quotes, itinerary adjustments, and payments, was incredibly prompt and helpful. Almost every time I sent a message, I received a reply within minutes. Even when our arrival schedule in Nairobi was uncertain, he handled our booking with great flexibility.
Our guide, James, was friendly, exceptionally hospitable, and highly knowledgeable. He always put safety first and drove very carefully. During the game drives, he made sure we were holding onto the car securely before moving, and he frequently provided us with drinking water. Every time we spotted animals, he would ask if we wanted to stop and patiently waited until we were completely satisfied before driving off. He even suggested stopping by a local supermarket and let us try some local fast food along the way. Even though our English isn't perfect, he explained things clearly and politely, teaching us not only about the animals but also about Kenya's geography and culture.
Regarding the accommodation, our original plan was to stay at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge and Sarova Mara Game Camp. Since Sarova Mara Game Camp was fully booked, we followed Denis's advice and decided to stay at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge and Mara Maisha Camp. Both hotels were extremely clean, all the meals were delicious, and we were highly satisfied.
Overall, Bushtop is a fantastic tour operator. We are Japanese, not very accustomed to speaking English, and this was our very first trip to Africa. The fact that we could complete our journey without a single complaint is entirely thanks to Bushtop.
Thank you very much, Bushtop!

You gave us an unforgettable holiday!💯❤️
I would definitely recommend Sunscape Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Zanzibar and Tanzania. Before the trip, Neema and I finalized the places we wanted to visit, and she prepared a wonderful itinerary for us. She promptly shared the 5-day plan and the activities involved, and she immediately accommodated any changes we requested. She is incredibly flexible; whenever circumstances changed or we had new requests, she quickly found solutions and explained them clearly to us. They delivered on every single promise they made. Every evening, she checked in to see if the day had gone exactly as we had hoped. Ali and Kerim, members of her team, are also wonderful people; they never left us on our own and were always by our side. I felt safe the entire time. I shared many "first-time" experiences with them, and they truly embraced my excitement. Thank you all so much. May your path be blessed, and I hope to see you again very soon. HAKUNA MATATA! POLE POLE!, HARAKA HARAKA!...💓💯💯👏🤝🤲🫶
