An incredible way to experience Botswana!
I originally found the itinerary we did back in 2022 - a 14 days safari from Maun to Kasane, covering CKGR, Makgadikgadi, the Okavango, Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe.
Even though that tour doesn't appear on the website anymore, Monametsi was super nice and was able to arrange it for us - making it the most incredible trip!
The itinerary was very clear and I found communication on WhatsApp perfectly smooth while planning the trip. The team looking after us were very knowledgeable and all lovely. They catered for vegetarian food and cooked some of the most amazing food, not just boring rice and veggie. From ratatouille, to veggie lasagna, they even baked me a birthday cake in the savanna. We were super impressed!
The areas you end up visiting are the same one from the fancy lodges, but we actually preferred our safaris much more! People from the lodges tend to go back earlier to rotate guests, while we were able to stay out for longer, which increased our chances of seeing all the animals.
We saw everything, from leopards to cheetahs and even wild dogs. Having a local guide who can speak with the other guides on the radio is a massive advantage compared to the self-driving safaris.
All in all, we felt this type of package gave us the best experience in terms of seeing animals and experiencing nature, while keeping the cost much lower compared to the lodges.
I cannot recommend them enough!

This 12 day trip to Rwanda was perfectly organized and managed by friendly and most competent staff
From the preparation before start providing information about the trip to the last Goodbye with a little present as memory of a remarkable trip, Umurage Eco Safaris staff did their best to make it one of my best travel experiences.
From the city of Kigali through Akagera NP to the Vulcanos with the Gorilla tracking and lake Kivu - a mix of active and relaxing days, we got an amazing impression of Rwanda's beauty and diversity.
The team went out of their way to adapt to changing circumstances to make our experience complete. Always friendly, always caring.
Thank you! It was all worth it.

A great safari experience with an amazing guide!
We had such an amazing experience on our 6 day safari through 3 different parks in Tanzania. Myself and my two grown sons were the only passengers which made it very personal and special. Our guide, Saleh seemed to have a sixth sense when it came to the animals - we got to see so many of them and in different surroundings and situations. He was informative - had so much knowledge of the area, the animals and also birds! He had a book of birds by his seat and we referred to it a lot. The food was amazing as well as the lodging. I can't say enough positive things about how the week went. Just an incredible once in a lifetime experience that we'll remember forever.
The communication with staff was perfect - friendly and professional. Reasonably priced for the attention and accomodations. I would recommend them to anybody!

Amazing time in Tanzania!
Our family had an amazing experience in Tanzania for 10 days. We loved our safari guide Jesse who felt like part of the family by the end. Our accommodations throughout were beautiful, comfortable and so welcoming especially the Into the Wild lodge in the Serengeti! Thank you to Erik and the team at Mangokili for making it possible!

Delightful, from their communication to their services before & after. Made it a million $ experienc
With only two and a half days remaining after our family trip to Kilimanjaro, we weren't expecting to experience one of the highlights of our time in Tanzania. Thanks to Big Mama Safari Adventures, that's exactly what happened.
From the moment they picked us up from our family home in Machame and hosted us overnight in Arusha, every detail was thoughtfully curated. The following morning, we boarded a short flight to Seronera and embarked on an unforgettable safari experience.
Our guide, Aziz, was exceptional. His knowledge of the Serengeti was nothing short of extraordinary, and his passion for the wilderness was evident in every moment. He went above and beyond, traversing the plains tirelessly to ensure our family experienced the very best of the Serengeti. Remarkably, we encountered four of the Big Five on our very first day, with only the elusive rhino escaping our sight.
Our evening at Tukaone Hembe Camp was equally memorable, with beautiful accommodations, warm hospitality, and the perfect setting to immerse ourselves in the magic of the Serengeti. The following day, our journey through the breathtaking Ngorongoro Highlands on our way back to Arusha was the perfect finale to an extraordinary adventure.
What truly sets Big Mama Safari Adventures apart is their genuine care and commitment to creating lifelong memories. Every detail felt personal, from the seamless logistics to the thoughtful gifts and goodie bags that delighted our children.
In a world where exceptional service is increasingly rare, Big Mama Safari Adventures delivered an experience that exceeded every expectation. They didn't simply organize a safari; they created cherished family memories that we will treasure forever.
To Tunu, Aziz, and the our very patient driver in Arusha, thank you for your warmth, professionalism, and hospitality. We recommend Big Mama Safari Adventures without hesitation and look forward to returning for another adventure in the near future.
Accommodating to all of our needs!
This trip was the most life-changing vacation, all thanks to Benson Safaris. While planning, the company was very attentive and responded quickly. Benson met us when we arrived in Arusha to make sure everything was finalized. Our guide Zablon was very friendly and social; he made our trip very enjoyable. While the parks can get extremely busy, he took us to areas where it wouldn’t be overcrowded. He also tried his best to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see; our highlights were the cheetahs and the wildebeest during the migration! Not only did we learn about the animals, Zablon taught us about the culture here, which was very interesting. On the last day, he made sure we had no problems getting on the bush plane. We highly recommend this company when planning a safari vacation!

Wonderful trip
We traveled with Toilo Safari as a family my father, mother, sister, and I, and had an absolutely perfect safari experience. From the airport pickup to the end of our trip, everything was organized seamlessly.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Goodluck, was knowledgeable, friendly, and a lot of fun to spend time with. He made every game drive exciting and ensured we had the best wildlife sightings.
The accommodations were comfortable, and the local food was delicious throughout the trip. We were incredibly fortunate to see the Big Five, along with countless other animals. Serengeti was especially unforgettable.
Our travel trip, which turned out to be a fantastic time to visit Tanzania. The weather was cool, there were fewer crowds, and there was only a little rain. We were lucky enough to witness the end of the Great Migration in the Serengeti and see so many adorable baby animals.
I would 100% recommend Toilo Safaris to anyone looking for a seamless, personalized, and unforgettable Tanzania trip.

I wish I could hire Maurice to manage my life!
We didn't know what to expect on our 12-day trip to Kenya and Tanzania, but it was so much more than what we thought it would be. The animals, the people, the culture, the infrastructure, the traffic - the roads - all combined to make for a life changing experience.
We appreciate Maurice’s customized itinerary and timely responses to every email we sent leading up to the trip. He accommodated every request. The lodging choices were perfect for us. And we appreciated being able to meet Maurice in person at the hotel before going out on safari.
We feel like we had the best guides. Athuman was incredibly knowledgeable, a great spotter and helped us get some fabulous photos. He was patient and flexible. There is no doubt he takes his job seriously.
And again, Boni was knowledgeable, a great spotter, had an eye for photography and, had a great sense of humor. He answered every one of our 600 questions about life in Kenya as if it was the first time he had been asked the question. His driving skills are impressive. He was flexible with our itinerary and able to accommodate every request.
At every opportunity, Maurice and the guides did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. It is a very well managed operation.
Due to the positive nature of every interaction we had with this company in organizing the trip and being on the trip, we have not questioned the amount of money it cost.
We hope to make it back to Kenya sometime soon. In the meantime, we will tell all of our friends about Africa Safari Classics and encourage them to use this company if they are going on a safari!
Professional, reliable, and highly recommended.
I had a wonderful experience with Tropicquest Safaris The team was friendly, professional, and well organized i liked everything about the tour Everything went smoothly, and the safari was truly unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania.
