Excellent Tour, thanks to our driver Abraham
Wonderful 7 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara.
Everything went well, very nice and comfortable hotels and lodges. Escarpment luxury lodge in Manyara is way nicer than other places during the safari.
The driver Abraham was amazing: gentle, calm, funny, skilled driver, an absolutely astonishing ability to spot every single animal, anywhere. He knew so much about all the animals, their behaviour, characteristics, what is safe to do, when it's more dangerous. It was crazy. He made the safari more than enjoyable, and that's I think one of the most important part. He also has a very good English, which helps if you want to discuss/ask questions.
You’re going to spend almost 100% of your time with your driver/guide, you should better be sure to appreciate him. I highly recommend him.
You can just ask Mr. Abdullah (the owner) about him, he is very fast and responsive, by mail, WhatsApp. No communication problem at all and very helpful when needed.
The tour itself was just like a national geographic documentary … but in real life. We had a lot of time, and I think that makes it easier to multiply your chances of seeing all the animals, in all the situations (eating, sleeping, playing, chasing, walking…). An yes, we saw everything you can imagine seeing in Tanzania (except the climbing lions). I guess under 4 days, you might have to reduce the number of parks, rush a bit too much and so on.
Now the positive points are said, it may look like an ad, so let’s go to the negative points:
It seems that no matter what the company you take, you may have to face mechanical problems (I read many sorties before going). Then the difference between a reliable company and less trustworthy one is how this problem will be handled and how much time you’ll waste. We had a 4x4 in an ok shape, not the newest, not the oldest, but fine however, in the first day of the safari, it had some problems starting, we had to push/be pushed few times. I requested the owner to fix it by SMS. The day after we went to change the battery, 15min in a garage, and it was done.
It’s expensive. Yeap, very expensive. It’s not really related to the company I would say, more to Tanzania in general.
We also booked the Mount Meru through them, nothing much to say, it's a pretty standard tour, and there isn't much difference between the tour operators.
Conclusion: I would go back through Uhuru travel, without any hesitation (and make sure Abraham is available :-).

Friendly, co-operative and good for the budget.
Awesome people so friendly staff makes you feel at home. Although the food is just okay but the driver worked hard to make us witness the big five.

My friends & I needed a holiday season break and Crucial Tours delivered to my expectation!!
The whole safari experience was tailored to our request. They informed us in time of what we needed and our itinerary was as planned. My friends & I really enjoyed ourselves; it was worthwhile.

We gave them an Itinerary they gave us MEMORIES.
They were very prompt with the requests and any queries we had. They gave us all the information we needed to complete before out travel from India.When we landed into Entebbe we met our tour guide Moses who was with us till the end. He gave us information and told us about the culture the people and was genuinely a very nice guy and the made sure we do and see all the things that were to be seen.He would make sure we were taken care of at the places we stayed at and met all our expectations. The service is very consistent form the start to finish. A big thank you to Alfred and Moses for giving us a bundle of memories to take and cherish back home. Will definitely recommend them to my friends looking for a trip to Africa, and will be planning my next trip with them soon.

The great team and organization brought us to the summit of Kilimajaro
With Amos in the office, nikkolas as our guide on tour and a very friendly team with us we had a very good time climbing the Kilimanjaro. The Accomodation before and after the climb at the "Secret Garden" was clean and good located with a nice Mountain view. Spending Time on the Mountain with our Guide and Team was wörth all the effort to get there. We are happy we made it and we are happy for chosing Migration Venture.

Great
Holiday in Uganda will forever be memorable. StarMount Safaris made everything much easier than we expected, the pick-up from Entebbe International Airport to our hotel, and the warm welcome helped us settle in easily. The tour guide/driver were hands on with lots of information and very good time keepers. We enjoyed the Church Hill Courts and ohh. The Apoke Lodge, the variety of wild animals at Kidepo National Park, the cultural tour amazing not forgetting the Manyata :)
Thank you StarMount Safaris, we will be back soon!!!!!!

Excellent organisation and very good destination
I went on a 3 day safari to Mikumi and Udzungwa National Parks with couple of friend in January 2018. The two parks are not the most famous but are interesting, especially Udzungwa Mountain with its equatorial forests and endemic species. Mikumi NP hosts most of the typical savanna species and we observed most of them. As an ecologist I was interested in all species and especially birds so I was delighted to observed and photograph a lot of them. The logistics of the safari were excellent. We stayed at Bastian lodge at the edge of Mikumi NP. Our driver from and to Dar es Salaam was very careful on the road and his driving was very safe.
I can strongly recommend Hello Tanzania and if going again to Tanzania for sure will use their services again.

Breathtaking nature & wildlife
This was my first ever wildlife experience in Botswana and can proudly say I wasn't let down. The morning game drive went well, backed by the clear skies and a glorious sunset. We encountered a few wild animals like Elephants, Lions, Monkeys, Kudus, Kobs, Impalas, Zebras, and so much more. My mission was to take as many photos as I can, and these are giving me remarkable flashbacks whenever I look at them... I stayed at Chobe Marina Lodge near the waterfront thus giving me fantastic views of the mighty Chobe River and the Namibian territory across. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and approachable. I felt at ease and explored without limits for the four days I was in Kasane the gateway to Chobe National Park.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Ivaylo Zafirov
Mikumi is a good destination for short safari. Two days are enough to spot most of the emblematic savanna/miombo species. There are a lot of different bird species and the opportunity for photography is rather good.
