*An Unforgettable 5-Day Adventure with Shayona Safaris & Karim!*

​Our 5-day safari through Tanzania was nothing short of a dream come true. From the moment we started our journey through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti, everything was executed to perfection. If you are looking for a life-changing experience, look no further than Shayona Safari Group.

​ *The Heart of the Trip: Our Guide, Karim*
​The true highlight of our trip was our driver and guide, Karim. I cannot emphasize enough how incredible he is. Karim is easily one of the most experienced and knowledgeable guides we’ve ever met.
*​Expert Spotter* : Thanks to his keen eye and deep understanding of animal behavior, we managed to see the Big 5 and so much more!
​ *True Professional:* He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure every day felt like a new adventure.
​ *Knowledgeable* : He didn't just show us animals; he shared fascinating insights about the ecosystem and wildlife that made the trip truly educational and worthwhile. We couldn't have asked for a better companion on this journey.

​ *The Route:* Nature at its Best
​ *Tarangire* : A stunning start with its massive baobabs and endless elephant herds.
​ *Ngorongoro Crater:* A breathtaking "Garden of Eden" where the density of wildlife was simply mind-blowing.
​ *Serengeti* : The vast plains gave us that classic African safari feel and some of the most dramatic wildlife sightings of the trip.
​ *World-Class Accommodations*
​The lodges selected by Shayona Safaris were exceptional. We stayed at Friends Camp, Zuri Camp, and Sopa Lodge, and each one offered:
​ *Hospitality* : The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail.
​ *Atmosphere* : Every location was peaceful, clean, and perfectly situated to immerse us in nature.
​ *Comfort* : After a long day of adventuring, coming back to such beautiful and well-maintained camps was a luxury.

​ *Final Verdict*
​If you want a seamless, thrilling, and deeply personal safari experience, book with Shayona Safaris and ask for Karim! He turned a great vacation into an unforgettable lifetime memory.

Thrilling and peaceful experience we will never forget.
5/5

Our 4 day Tanznian family adventure explored the Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater was unforgettable. Agama tours provided very safe and exceptional service. Lake Manyara was peaceful and green, The Serengeti was vast and wonderful, every drive brought something new, Ngorongoro Crater truly amazed us, we felt a natural wildlife we belonged, with animals everywhere we looked. Every game drive was a fantastic and new discovery, Francis making the journey deeply enjoyable.

Michelle was a fantastic travel agent. She made excellent bookings at a competitive price. The only problem we had was with the car rental company, but she resolved it quickly and made sure everything went smoothly.

An Unforgettable 6-Day Adventure with Loren Africa Safaris

An Unforgettable 6-Day Adventure with Loren Africa Safaris

​If you are looking for a seamless, exhilarating, and deeply professional safari experience, look no further than Loren African Safaris. We recently completed a 6-day expedition, and the planning and execution were quite simply, flawless.
​From the moment we landed, it was clear that every detail had been meticulously thought out. However, what truly transformed this trip from a "vacation" into a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" was our incredible guide and driver, Ally, and also the main reason we highly recommend them.
* ​Expert Spotting Skills: Our guide had a legendary "eagle eye." We saw things we never would have noticed on our own—camouflaged leopards, distant prides, and rare birds—all thanks to his deep knowledge of the terrain and animal behavior. We also spotted the black rhino, an endangered species, all thanks to Ally's observation amidst a hundred zebras surrounding one of the 74 rhinos in the whole of Serengeti!
* ​Safety & Comfort: Driving conditions in the bush can be challenging, but we always felt completely secure. He was an exceptionally skilled driver—smooth, steady, and mindful of our comfort over every bump, not only in the jungles but also across towns and main roads.
* ​Professionalism & Character: It is rare to find someone so consistently punctual, honest, and polite. He was always there with a smile before our scheduled departure, and his integrity made us feel at ease throughout the journey. A good conversationalist, Ally made it easier for us to enjoy his company on everyday matters as well as our many questions which he answered very patiently.
* ​The "Extra Mile": He didn't just drive us from point A to point B; he anticipated our needs. Whether it was finding the perfect shade for a bush lunch or adjusting the itinerary to ensure we were in the best position for a sighting, his dedication to our experience was unmatched.

From a planning and selecting properties/parks - I would suggest you do your research.

​Loren African Safaris delivered exactly what they promised and then some. They take the stress out of the logistics so you can focus entirely on the magic of the wild.

​Don’t hesitate—book with them. You won’t regret it!

5/5

After a lot of research I came across Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris. I contacted Matt Jensen and was impressed by his knowledge ,enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring that our Safari would be the best experience ever. He did not disappoint. Everything, from the staff, accommodations, meals, and of course the daily Safari drives were top notch. Having traveled a lot I have to say this vacation was unforgettable and a longtime dream come true for me.

Everything is perfect
5/5

I was just organizing photos on my phone, and my Kenya and Tanzania trip from two weeks ago seems to come alive again. Starting and ending in Nairobi, the entire itinerary was perfectly planned, both in Kenya and Tanzania. Our guide was waiting for us at the airport upon arrival, and the vehicle was kept impeccably clean every day. The guide was happy to answer all my questions and patiently explained everything. I want to especially mention the Tanzania segment. All the hotels were better than we expected. I especially loved the unique African welcome ceremony at the hotels. Because March is the rainy season and off-season, we were practically the only guests at the camp hotels – it was like VIP service, absolutely fantastic! We were provided with hot meals every day, which is very important for Chinese palates. There were main meals, fruits, and snacks, and everyone found the food quite palatable. The vehicle was incredibly new and clean, and they provided snacks and drinks daily. They even prepared an East African animal guide and binoculars, which was a pleasant surprise. Our guide patiently answered countless questions about animals every day, and our tour leader, Joseph, was very sincere, checking on my health daily. I unfortunately caught a cold after soaking in a wild hot spring on my first day, and he even helped me collect my shoes at the hot spring to keep them dry. The most important part of the safari was witnessing the scene where we made a wish to our driver: lions with cubs hanging from trees, cheetahs hunting, and hippos teaching their calves to swim. In Ndutu, the entire plain was covered with endless zebra and wildebeest herds; seeing them migrate on our way out of the Serengeti was a truly magnificent and unforgettable experience. It was a truly unforgettable trip, full of unforgettable memories. Excellent value for money, highly recommended! Highly recommended!

Reliable and Efficient
4/5

The tour was excellent from start to finish. Charity was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive, making sure all my needs were met, even though I booked on very short notice. She still managed to secure a great deal for us. Our tour guide, Victor, was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating throughout the trip. Overall, we had a fantastic experience in Samburu and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
