Professional, friendly and well organized, making the Hadzabe experience unforgettable
I did a Hadzabe one-day tour as a solo traveler and it was an incredible experience. Visiting the Hadzabe people and witnessing their simple way of life was both fascinating and truly authentic.
My guides John Tembo and Manase were friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. The tour was very well organized, and the lunch provided was excellent.
The company also stood out for its great communication before the tour, always responding quickly and helpfully.
I highly recommend this safari company to anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable safari experience.

Ultimate Birding Tour
Davis Kibuga provided a fantastic 25 day birding tour of Uganda exceeding our species target of 600 birds!!
His enthusiasm, professionalism and dedication ensured a fabulous trip.
His vast network of local guides helped to find those more elusive and hard to find endemics and most sought after species.
His excellent 4x4 ensured that we were able to access the most remote regions of the country.
As requested my accommodation was a mixture of locally owned and run guest houses with community lodges.
These were clean comfortable, budget friendly and provided good simple home cooked meals.
I would strongly recommend Davis
He is a superb guide, dedicated and professional

Excellent experience
Our 3-night safari in Nakuru and the Maasai Mara with Balu Travel was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, everything was seamlessly organized, allowing us to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the experience.
What truly made the trip unforgettable, though, was our Maasai guide, Kasaine. His skill behind the wheel was extraordinary—navigating tough, uneven terrain with confidence and precision, even in challenging conditions where other vehicles struggled. We always felt completely safe in his hands, which allowed us to focus on enjoying every moment of the adventure.
Kasaine’s ability to spot wildlife was equally impressive. His knowledge, sharp eye, and intuition meant we never missed a thing. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five within just 24 hours—something we know is incredibly rare. Each sighting felt special, but the absolute highlight was an unforgettable leopard lounging in a tree. We had the best possible view, completely unobstructed, and were able to spend time observing this magnificent animal in a way that felt truly magical.
This safari exceeded all expectations, and a huge part of that is down to Kasaine’s expertise and passion. We couldn’t recommend Balu Travel more highly for anyone looking for a well-organized, authentic, and truly memorable safari experience. Huge thanks to Morris for organizing such an amazing trip

A Truly Exceptional Safari Experience with Outstanding Care and Expertise
Eliteways Travel and Safaris is a deeply knowledgeable, caring, and reliable operator that turns every moment of the journey into an unforgettable experience.
We had an incredible experience with Eliteways Travel and Safaris, a company that truly stands out for its professionalism, kindness, and deep understanding of Kenya’s national parks. Throughout our journey — from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli — Sospeter, who runs the company and guided us throughout the safari, demonstrated exceptional knowledge of wildlife, landscapes, and local culture, making every day both exciting and enriching.
What impressed me the most was his ability to handle unexpected situations with calm, efficiency, and genuine care. Any unexpected situation — including heavy rains, flooding, and road closures — was handled quickly and smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the trip without stress. Sospeter’s communication was always clear, friendly, and reassuring.
Sospeter was not only extremely knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to spot an amazing variety of animals and learn so much about each park’s unique ecosystem.
This safari was truly unforgettable, and I can confidently say that Eliteways Travel and Safaris exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well‑organized, personalized, and deeply memorable safari experience.
Olitiko Safaris for the best experience in Tanzania
My husband booked this trip for my birthday. We found Olitiko Safaris on facebook and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.
They picked us up at the airport and even walked us through immigration, making sure that it was a smooth process.
Our game drives were amazing, making sure that we saw it all and we did!
They went above and beyond, surprising us, with an incredible birthday celebration! It was so special that it even brought me to tears.
If you’re looking for an operator in Tanzania, look no further… Olitiko Safaris is the best.

Summitted Kilimanjaro via Marangu and Excellent Safari in 4 Days
We have had an incredibly memorable experience on this tour with Sote Tours and Travel. Our trip included a six-day climb along the Marangu route up Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as four days of safari visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti National Parks.
The only way we were able to reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro was because of the support we received from the whole team. I would like to send out a special thanks to our main guide, Sebastian, and our assistant guide Michael, for all of their help and support during our climb - the summit push was much more difficult than I thought it would be; with their help and encouragement we were able to make it successfully. The crew treated us like we were family and we are very grateful for all they did for us. The last day of our trip and safari ended on a very high note! I strongly encourage anyone looking to go on an adventure in Tanzania to use Sote Tours and Travel to help you.

Planned to perfection 👌
Our game drive experience in the Masai Mara was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, thanks to Naiomi and the entire team of Mara Wanderlust for all the arrangements. There were lots of hiccups and challenges before the trip, from date change to flight cancellation. Everything was handled with professionalism and empathy and finally we had the trip of our life.
We were lucky enough to witness a truly rare and unforgettable moment—a cheetah in the middle of a hunt and making a successful kill. It was raw, powerful, and something we will remember for a lifetime. Beyond that, the wildlife sightings were simply phenomenal. We encountered around 30 lions, including prides lounging and interacting, along with numerous elephants moving gracefully across the plains.
The landscape itself was breathtaking—vast, golden savannahs stretching endlessly, creating the perfect backdrop for the stunning giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife we saw throughout the drive. Every turn seemed to reveal something new and spectacular.
What really elevated the experience was our guide/ friend / driver " Gleen ". His knowledge, patience, and sharp eye ensured we didn’t miss a single moment. He knew exactly where to go and shared fascinating insights about the animals and ecosystem, making the drive both exciting and educational. He got the best attitude you need for such long game drives. Happy and excited.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend The Mara Wanderlust and Gleen to anyone visiting the Masai Mara!
Asante !

Professional and friendly
Communication with Abraham to plan the trip was excellent. My guide Moses was enthusiastic and made sure I had the opportunity to make the most of my two day visit to Lake Mburo national park. I couldn't believe how many animals and birds we saw in a short time. The lodge (Rwakobo) was lovely. It was described as "mid range" when I planned the trip but this undersells it in my view.
