Reliable Madagascar-based tour operator with excellent service and communication.
We booked a 20-day - Discovery East - West-South tour with Soul of Madagascar and travelled with our 8 years old son. The communication with Theresia was seamless, she made sure the itinary was personalized according to our needs. Our guides were Michael and Tahiry and our driver Manoa, they were all well-prepared and knowledgeable and made our trip unforgettable. They even made sure I had a birthday cake on my big day :). I would be happy to travel with them again, we had the perfect trip!

Gofan is a reliable partner in safari bookings
I have been using Gofan Safaris for many years for my safaris in Kenya. They have taken me to the Maasai Mara, Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Nairobi National Park. Their vehicles are upgraded and their drivers are excellent. They often do a nice job of positioning themselves for great animal viewing. We've consistently had a great value for our money as well, and I appreciate how they are flexible to offer just about anything that we'd like to do, and can make solid recommendations for different price points. They seem to be well respected within the industry and they can negotiate good positions and take favors from lodges. I've even had them pivot on a dime based on changing conditions at the last minute. We're very pleased with Gofan and hope to continue using them for a long time!

Passionate Guide is a exceptionally reliable, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely caring operator.
Booking our 10-day Kenya and Tanzania cross-border safari with Passionate Guides was the best decision we ever made! From initial planning to final drop-off, their communication and reliability were unmatched—owner Beatus personally put our pre-trip anxieties to rest with expert guidance.
The service and value throughout the journey were phenomenal. The border transition was handled seamlessly by both crews, and the Tanzanian leg was extraordinary, featuring attentive drivers, expert guides, and sit-down table lunches in the wild. While the Kenya portion could use a bit of refinement in vehicle comfort and roadside dining to match the outstanding standards set in Tanzania, the overall experience was phenomenal. Even when minor vehicle issues arose on rough terrain, the crew fixed everything instantly.
Having Beatus step in as our guide toward the end was an incredible bonus. He shared his inspirational vision for Passionate and even invited us to visit his family home on the way to the airport—a heartwarming, personal touch money can't buy. From witnessing the Great Migration river crossing to spotting the Big 5 and exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, Passionate delivers a top-tier, highly trustworthy, and unforgettable safari experience!

Visit creation safaris is an exceptional, one in a lifetime experience.
My experience with Visit creation safaris was an exceptional experience that has made my trip Tanzania even more special and memorable. I went on safari with visit creations to the Tarangire national park. The driver was very knowledgeable and very professional, he gave me a great insight into the wildlife. He also knew the route very well and stopped at all the notable sights and was happy to take pictures of myself and explain very articulately all the interesting facts and history. The staff at visit creation are very friendly and the motto ‘come as visitors leave as friends’ is true in every sense.
Visit creations provided lunch and drinks which was delicious and of a great variety.
The safari was a great experience that I can’t recommend enough!
I have also been on other trips visit creations offer including a Maasai boma, waterfall, hotsprings, coffee tour and Arusha city tour. Every single tour was incredibly well planned, easy and enjoyable. If anyone wants to experience the best of the Arusha/Kilimanjaro region and gain a greater insight into Masai culture or experience the incomparable natural beauty, visit creations is definitely the company for you!
Every trip was tailed to my exact needs and without any rush or inconvenience. If I needed to eat, take a picture or ask a question everything was accommodated. Visit creation safaris is a really reliable and I recommend them in their entirety.

We had the most incredible experience with Safari Infinity!
We had the best experience with Safari Infinity! From the planning stages, Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was highly organized, efficient, and provided the best suggestions and guidance. She promptly answered every question we had with incredibly thoughtful and helpful responses. We planned our safari about a year out and she was very responsive throughout the year as questions arose. The accommodations she suggested and that we booked were all fantastic and really exceeded our expectations! They were all extremely thoughtful and sustainable places with many employing local Maasai, which we appreciated. Lisa planned the best trip for us and we are so grateful for her expertise!
At the beginning of our trip, we spent some time in Zanzibar that was self-planned and ran into some issues. Even though this part of our trip was outside the Safari Infinity tour and planning, Lisa was so kind and helped us navigate our issue. She was also immediately in touch with her colleague James, in the local Safari Infinity office, and they were able to help arrange camera rental equipment so that we could have the safari we had always imagined. This kind assistance really went above and beyond.
We'd always heard that your tour guide really makes your safari, and we can attest that is certainly the case! Upon arrival to the mainland to start our safari, our tour guide, Moses, picked us up from the airport. We felt instantly at ease and the real fun began. Moses was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and passionate. His dedication to his craft and passion about the wildlife and his country was remarkable. He really knows his stuff and his nearly 30 years experience was evident. We had in depth discussions about the animal behavior we were witnessing and he was able to predict what the animals would do next, which made capturing the moments so much easier and the experience that much richer. We were really able to feel his respect and love of the wildlife. Moses was extremely attentive and seemed to always be thinking about our experience and how to make it as best as it could be. We feel so lucky to have done our safari with Moses and feel like we left Tanzania having made a new friend.
We look forward to seeing Moses the next time we're in Tanzania and we will certainly be booking with Safari Infinity again!

Safari review with Nicholas
Our guide Nicholas has been amazing throughout the entire journey. His expertise in all things wildlife, nature, places, and local culture elevates the safari from simply an animal-viewing tour into a truly immersive and unforgettable experience.
He has an incredible eye for spotting animals, and his knowledge of their behaviour, the ecosystem, and the history of each place we visited made every sighting much more meaningful. He was also incredibly patient, attentive, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience.
What really stood out was his passion for what he does. You can tell that he genuinely loves the wildlife and Tanzania, and that passion made the entire journey even more enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience.

Jacmiya Safaris is great
The Agent is so professional and attentive. We had a memorable trip ,saw many amazing animals in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The hotels were so nice. Highly recommend!
Professional, reliable and communicative tour operator
Magical Gorilla Adventures arranged a 32-day itinerary for me that covered safaris in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, with a four-day island break in Zanzibar at the end. They coordinated everything, including the accommodation, transportation, activities, primary guides and the local guides. Aina and Kolo were always available via WhatsApp and would kindly message me to check on how things were. Everything from the start to the finish was wonderful. I would book a trip through them again in a heartbeat.
