Fantastic safari, seamless staff, and a guide who went above and beyond
The best agency I’ve worked with! Fantastic experience from start to finish. Jonsbert was exceptional during booking. He tailored every part of our trip to our requests, answered each question thoroughly, but most of all he replied so fast!
Our guide, Festo, was outstanding! He was prompt, and we felt very safe in his vehicle. He took great care of us the whole trip and went out of his way to make it special.
The game drives were the highlight, and Festo is the reason for that. He knows the parks and the animals well. He kept pushing to find something special, beyond the usual sightings. Because of him, we watched lions feeding, saw leopards, and got so close to elephants and giraffes that it felt unreal. He always adjusted to what we were hoping to see. By the end, we felt we had a complete safari experience, with nothing missed.
Even after the trip, the team went the extra mile. I left an item behind at one of the lodges, and they worked to try to get it back to me.
I would highly recommend Full Package Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. We were very happy with every part of our experience, and we’re grateful to Festo and Jonsbert for making it so memorable.

Magical honeymoon in Kenya: a perfect safari crafted with love by the We Tour Safari team!
A truly unforgettable honeymoon! From the very first moments, you can feel that this safari was organized with love and a great deal of passion. A huge thank you to the We Tour Safari team who managed to transform such a special trip into a totally magical and wonderful experience. We truly felt all their attentiveness and the precious time they spent designing this trip, constantly seeking to concoct the best possible recipe for us.
The suggested locations were simply superb, with a total crush on the grandiose landscapes of Amboseli Park, the magic of the Masai Mara, and the beauty of Lake Nakuru. Their professionalism, constant attentiveness, and immense kindness made all the difference. If you are looking for an authentic adventure guided by truly passionate people, you can trust them with your eyes closed for the trip of a lifetime.

Whether it's your first safari or your fiftieth, Mbotte is the PERFECT safari guide!
After experiencing several different guides over many years of safaris in Kenya, I can endorse Mr. Mbotte with Africa ShiJoy as the absolute BEST guide you'll ever find! So much so that I have returned for multiple safaris with and perhaps because of him.
It starts with Mbotte's tremendously professional planning. He arranges every detail from safety to comfort both in his vehicle as well as the lodging he carefully chooses. His Jeep is not only impeccably well-maintained, clean, and very comfortable, but it is also equipped with a cooler of cold drinks (a rarity on the Savannah), several sets of quality binoculars, and remarkably reliable wifi.
The best amenity of Africa Shijoy Safaris is the guide himself. JOSEPH MBOTTE is a human Chat GPT on everything Kenya! He can identify every single living thing that crosses your path, while explaining its distinctive behaviors. He has an uncanny ability to spot and point out wildlife that passengers would never notice - even while he's seamlessly navigating the vehicle through challenging terrain. He has an acute instinct for anticipating animals' movements, and thus he is a wizard at finding the best viewing sites. He can provide the history of animal migrations, the evolution of safari parks, and can even provide an intelligent, well-read analysis of local political and economic trends, if your group's conversation wants to go that direction.
Mbotte's English is exceptional, his accent is easy to understand. And he has a marvelous quick wit and unfaltering positivity that contagiously infect all customers in his care. It's impossible to leave an experience guided by Mbotte without an in-depth understanding of the concept of "Hakuna Matata" because, whatever does or doesn't happen during your safari with Africa Shijoy, Mbotte will make it feel like it was exactly what you wanted it to be. The continual smile on his face will inevitably be mirrored by your own. And I bet, like me, you'll come back for more.

Dreams coming true: An unforgettable safari with an amazing guide and excellent organization!
We had such an amazing time on our safari with Altezza Travel and came home with so many wonderful memories!
We visited Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Parks and were lucky enough to see an incredible number of animals. Not only did we see all of the Big Five, but also some rarer animals like cheetahs and servals. What made it even more special was seeing so many babies, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions and even leopards! There was something new and exciting to discover every single day.
A huge thank you goes to our safari guide Endrisha! He has an incredible amount of knowledge about the animals and nature, and we learned so much from him throughout our trip. But what impressed us even more were his incredible spotting skills! Sometimes we would spend ages trying to spot an animal with our binoculars, while he had already seen it with his bare eyes, often while driving past. Whenever we asked him how on earth he managed to spot all these animals, he would simply say it was his “Safari Eyes”. And he definitely had them! And besides being such a great guide, he was also just a really great person to spend time with. We felt completely comfortable around him and genuinely enjoyed every day of our safari together.
We also want to highlight how well everything was organized by Altezza Travel. From the very beginning until the end of our trip, everything went so smoothly. All the drivers were super friendly and always on time, and everything was taken care of, including things like checking in and out of the national parks. We never had to worry about anything and could just enjoy our safari. We really appreciated that and felt very well looked after throughout the entire trip.
The safari vehicles were another big plus! They were really comfortable and had everything we could possibly need, including a fridge, Wi-Fi and charging facilities. Especially when spending so many hours on game drives, those little extras make a real difference.
We were also really happy with the accommodations Altezza Travel had recommended for us. We felt very well advised during the planning process, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into choosing places that suited our preferences. Overall, the accommodations were excellent and made our trip even more enjoyable!
All in all, this safari was even more wonderful than we had imagined! Going on a safari had been a dream of mine for years, and thanks to Altezza Travel, it turned into an unforgettable experience. Especially considering that we booked just two weeks in advance, we were really impressed by how smoothly everything was organized.
We would definitely recommend Altezza Travel! A huge thank you to the whole team and especially to Endrisha for making this trip so special!

Great tour operator, personal service
Our safari was a large private jeep for just the two of us and it was fantastic. Our guide (Peter) made sure we were ok all the time, checking we were happy and adjusting our schedule to make sure we got the best experience.
He was amazing at spotting things and would give us all the names of the birds and animals we didn't know.
He showed us foot prints etc and explained what it all meant.
We stayed in different lodges or permanent tents (with bathrooms etc - awesome accommodation) each night and the best one was in the Serengeti. Fantastic experience.
Food was fresh and although a tiny bit repetitive, we never went hungry.
Hotel in Zanzibar was good but I'm afraid nothing was going to beat the safari.
