Bush and Forest Explorers is a tour company that is straight to the point. Although it was hard to receive their concrete plan before the Safari, the tour turned out well, with the guide being informative with the animals and nature we encountered and dedicated to make his customers see as much possible. The guide provided did a briefing at the end of each day, and the food provided was good. I did not know what to expect, but things went smoothly more or less.

Amazing expérience
We had a wonderful safari day, which we highly recommend!
There are many positives: the guide was truly exceptional, passionate and very professional, always punctual and attentive. The day went smoothly, with clear organization and no hidden costs. We fully enjoyed the experience, which will remain a great memory.
A few points for improvement, however: tips are presented as mandatory, which can be surprising because the ask quiète a lot… The company also applies a euro = dollar conversion rate, which is not very fair so we paid online and it was okay but with 3,5% added. The announced travel time (1h30) turned out to be closer to 2h30/3h.
Overall, the experience was amazing thanks to the guide and the quality of the safari !!

Customer centric and care taking safari tour operator. Easy to reach at any time and very flexible.
We travelled as a family of four for totally 7 days with Ngekewa. Over the last half year we had several exchanges with Ngekewa and could find a very suitable itinerary with Safary, Biking, Hiking etc. The organization was very good and especially the hired safari driver was an absolute asset in this whole time.
During the Safari we had daily messages from Ngekewa if everything is alright and if we need anything. We felt very much taken care of which is a kind of good feeling while spending a lot of time in the wilderness.
The hotel, lodge choices were good. Unfortunately 2 of our booked lodges, one in the Ngorongoro area and one at the lake Manyara were changed last minute without any pre-warning before arriving to Tanzania. This was a bit of a disappointment as both lodges would have been surrounded by wildlife and we had the potential of having wild animals in the camp. Nonetheless Ngekewa was organizing very good alternatives and we did not miss anything.
Overall - If you are keen for a non-standard, non-mass-tourism experience with a lot of flexibility and excellent customer care. —> this is you tour operator!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Cathy Kristiansen
Just too many jeeps making animal "finds" unrealistic. Also, very polluting drives, breathing in massive amounts of dust and carbon black exhaust particles from the many jeeps in front or going the other way.

Beautiful country, would recommend much higher prices for permits
The scenery in the little we saw of Tanzania was spectacular -- we LOVED the country and all of its people we managed to meet. But it occurred that much more that could be done with money from raising the cost of permits/entrance fees, for the game parks -- such as improved roads and jeeps that do not run on diesel and spew toxic exhaust (how about solar panels on the roof that tourists raise to see out?). Yes, we saw many wild animals close-up, which is indeed great for a first safari experience, but scores of jeeps dashing from one sighting to another left the impression of a safari park, where the animals are no longer "wild" but super-accustomed to being only feet away from humans. One poor cheetah mother protecting several cubs sat in the grass surrounded by jeeps, unable to reach her gazelle kill, which was rotting in the sun and increasingly likely to attract hyenas. So perhaps higher permit costs will reduce the number of tourists slightly while enabling infrastructure improvements and perhaps enforceable limits on how many jeeps may approach an animal at one time. Just a thought.

Very professional and caring
Ameera Africa Safaris makes one feel completely satisfied especially when it comes to client handling.
For my case i can only advise whowever wants to get value for money especially with tourism, to try this company"Ameera Africa Safaris "
But all in all your tour guide Ivan should be handled well, he makes tourism more enjoyable.
