Offers flexible booking options, and allowed for a smooth trip!
We had an amazing time in Tanzania thanks to Golden Trips! I was able to successfully customize our 9-day safari experience thanks to the responsiveness and flexibility of Irene! We visited Tarangire NP, Lake Natron, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara NP! Communication with Irene was great throughout the booking process!
Each accomodation offered amazing service and security. Although it is not always garunteed to see specific animals, our experienced tour guide (i.e., Hardson) did an excellent job communicating with fellow operators via radio to give us the best chance to see wildlife! We were lucky and able to see the wildebeest crossing in Northern Serngeti & big cats (lions, cheetahs, and leaopards) in Central Serengeti. A visit to the Serengeti Welcome Center was also a nice educational experience.
Due to the size of Tanzania, it was not infrequent to have 3+ hour drives to your next destination in the morning and/or @night. Therefore, I recommend checking hotel/tent locations and staying in National Parks when possible (adds time to the safari and offers a chance to sleep around nature).
The patience of the team was appreciated as my brother and I learned the culture.
Truly a trip of a lifetime!

Communication with Kyooma was fast and easy. They sent helpful reminders leading up to our trip. We had a comfortable van for 4 of us and a smooth ride to Volcanoes National Park. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and made the trip very enjoyable.
Great tour!

Very good quality of service and Itenary planning
Itenary was very well planned. Akoms team was very friendly and helpful. Ballon ride was fascinating . Our jeep broke down a few times which was the only negative part of the tour
Overall a very rich experience and worth a repeat visit

Highest customer care and hospitality in Tanzania Safari
Our Safari tour was planned and executed by Gorilla O'Clock. They took care of six of us from Pick-up to Drop-Off. Selection of restaurants, Resorts and tour locations were excellent. They seem to have good network of people. Highlight of our experience : We forgot a bag at hotel and realized it at the airport. The hotel was 4.5 hours away from the airport. Gorilla O'clock managed to send that missing baggage to select location. That was time sensitive. This I call as Exceeded-Expectations.

Soooo special experience
I have just concluded a 7-day, 6-night safari trip in Kenya. Even now, I can't stop thinking about it! This was definitely an unforgettable and wonderful travel experience.
Before coming here, as I was traveling alone, I did a lot of research. Also, due to budget constraints, I finally chose Pesaso from among many options because it offers great value for money, excellent service, and very detailed route introductions. Moreover, its response speed is extremely fast. Although there is a time difference, the promptness of its responses is something I highly value and is very important. In fact, this proved to be very crucial during my subsequent journey.
Let's start with accommodation. Since it was an economy tour group, we stayed in campsites throughout the journey. However, the campsites chosen for the group tour were quite good. They had great locations and decent conditions. For instance, the one in Maasai Mara was just a 10-minute drive from the entrance, which was very convenient and saved time, allowing us to spend more time in the park. The hotel in Nakuru was also very nice. We were offered welcome drinks and hot towels, which was very considerate. I was traveling alone and was very lucky that I was mostly assigned a private room throughout the trip. This was very beneficial for my rest and made me feel safe and at ease.
The food was much better than I expected. There were basically rich self-service options available, with both vegetables and meat. Especially, the beef and mutton cooked by several campsites were extremely delicious. The fresh milk was very tasty, and the coffee was also satisfactory. The breakfast at Nakuru Hotel was very diverse, and you could enjoy the sunrise while having breakfast, with a beautiful view.
The daily itinerary was also well-arranged. Although there were some days with long hours spent in the vehicle, the time spent in the scenic spots was fully utilized to satisfy our sightseeing. We managed to see all the Big Five of Africa. The driver, Bony, was very capable. He drove the car very steadily and safely. Moreover, he was very experienced in spotting animals and showed us many wild animals. He was an excellent guide.
Although this was an economic tour group, the overall travel experience was highly cost-effective and I had a great time. My European and American friends who came along were also very supportive. I'm also very grateful to Pedaso for the arrangements. They would kindly ask about my experience every day and respond promptly to any feedback. This made me feel very at ease, especially since I was traveling alone. This is a very reliable choice. If any of my friends come to Kenya, I will also recommend Pedaso!
