The tour was excellent
The highlight of our trip to Tanzania was seeing the Ngorongoro Crater with Widman Tours & Safari. The tour was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and sensitive to our interests. A genuinely amazing day was created by the crater's magnificent beauty and abundant animals, which included flamingos, hippos, and rhinoceros. We valued the efficient logistics and attentive service. Widman Tours made it easy and fun, and it's a must-see. Without a doubt, I would do it again!

We had an incredible once in a lifetime adventure thanks to Shanjoy, Beth, Rio, Izack, and Steve!
My family and I had the pleasure of traveling with Shanjoy Tours recently! I spent quite a bit of time initially researching and reaching out to multiple tour agencies. However, I was most impressed with Beth’s prompt replies, kindness, and willingness to assist me in customizing the perfect itinerary for my family. Beth went above and beyond with the whole itinerary and particularly picked amazing lodges that were suitable for my older parents and catered to the whole family’s dietary preferences! It is also very convenient that Shanjoy operates in both Kenya and Tanzania, allowing seamless transfers between the two countries.
The tour itself was incredible. We spent the first part of our trip in Kenya and explored Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with our guide Rio. Rio was friendly to talk to, knowledgeable about animals, and showed us the big 5 and a cheetah in Kenya! Rio was also very flexible with our itinerary, and always debriefed us in the morning to ensure we had the perfect agenda daily.
Next, we went to Serengeti with our guide Izack, who was so patient and brilliant at spotting wildlife. On our second morning, he took us to see the Great Migration and got us to a prime viewing spot! The Migration itself was amazing and easily one of the highlights of the whole trip. Despite some car issues, Izack made sure we were always safe and saw as many animals as possible. In Serengeti / Ngorongoro Crater we saw most of big 5 again, as well as lions mating, servals cats, cheetahs, elephants and many more animals! When we left Tanzania and Izack, we were genuinely sad and felt like we were saying goodbye to a family member. In Serengeti, we stayed in luxury tents within the park, that were such a unique and fun experience.
Finally, we ended our trip back in Kenya at Amboseli National Park. Our final tour guide was Steve, who was friendly and helpful. While there were not too many animals other than elephants to see in Amboseli, we throughly enjoyed our time at Kibo Safari Camp. The camp was lovely, and the food was amazing with endless vegetarian options. The Indian chef, Charles, made us fresh naan, chili paneer, mutter paneer, fried rice, uttapam, and many more delicious Indian dishes.
Overall, we had an incredible once in a lifetime adventure thanks to Shanjoy Tours, Beth, Rio, Izack, and Steve!

Our guide, Lebo, was fantastic.
The tour of Johannesburg and Sewoto was exciting. Our guide, Lebo, was fantastic. He shared his knowledge with us. He showed us around the apartheid museum and told us all about its history. I highly recommend MoAfrika tours to everyone

Very nice birding tour guided by Davis in Uganda
We just completed a very successful birding tour with Davis in Uganda. Davis is a top-tier guide with professional expertise and responsibility.
1. Good communication and Reliable was built since beginning. I found Davis from Safaribookings as a stranger. He always responds me very quick for my questions. After I transferred birding tour expenses to him, he responded to me that he well received payment around one day later. His quick response let me trust him that he is a reliable and responsible person.
2. Davis's professional expertise is impressive. He knows the birds's calls , habits and habitats, also he has very good eyes to find birds even birds at very far away place or blocked by branch or bushes. we took many video/photoes for many beautiful birds under his help.
3. For our target birds, he contacted local people to realize birds status in advance before we set out for. because our physical condition, we don't like search birds in forests, he detected this point and communicated with us to adjusted the tour.
In summary, if you want to have birding tour in east Africa, Davis is my first and only choice.

Good Planning and Responsible Team
We participated in a 5-day safari with Safari360 and the whole experience was very well organized. Communication was clear from the start and we were informed in advance of the daily route and timetable. The guide was very experienced and was able to locate the animals.
On this trip, we got a chance to see the Big Five, which was a big attraction for us. Enough time was given to each park, there was no rush. Accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the food was good. All in all, Safari360 gave us a beautiful and memorable Safari experience.

Amazing Experience - Exceeds ALL Expectations! Jessica is the BEST!!
My 5th time on safari using Jessica with Dancing Zebra Safari Company, and as always, it was perfect! Despite managing multiple activities and camps all the detailed planning resulted in a hassle-free relaxing trip. My fellow safari goers, all on their first trip, were amazed by the luxury of the camps, the professionalism and hospitality of the staff, and the ease of traveling throughout Tanzania! Jessica does a wonderful job tailoring the trip to travelers' interests, while keeping on track of the budget. The accommodations are spectacular, I wish I had more time to stay!
Destinations: Arusha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, & Zanzibar
Duration: ~ 2 weeks
Starting off in Arusha, staying at the beautiful Kiligolf and Wildlife Estates we began our adventure going on a walking safari at Arusha National Park. It was thrilling to walk and learn about the park's ecosystem while viewing giraffes, vervet monkeys, lots of pumbas up close and personal! The evening ended with a relaxing sundowner at Kiligolf with Mount Meru & Kilimanjaro in view! It was a fantastic way to the start of our safari!
Next stop - Northern Serengeti: we saw such an abundance of animals and exotic birds on our first day, that the first timers didn't even think they would see so much on the entire trip! Each day we experienced more encounters that somehow seemed to surpass the day before. For my FIRST time ever I witnessed the wildebeests crossing the Mara River! We also saw (a FIRST for our guide, Robert - the BEST!!) a "Giraffe Crossing"! Actually 2 giraffes successfully crossed while we watched and held our breaths in awe! Took my first balloon safari which gave another perspective, seeing the vast expanse of land and all the groupings of animals; followed by a delicious champange brunch!
At Ngorongoro we spotted the elusive rhino (another first for me!) and had many close encounters with the wildebeests & hyenas coming to investigate our vehicle! Jessica arranged a very special privately catered lunch at the crater which was spectacular. We felt like nobility receiving the ultimate experience! The Osonjoi Lodge at the crater was so luxurious and provided an incredible views of the crater.
We ended our excursion going to Zanzibar to relax (some more) staying at the Baraza Resort & Spa. Wish I could move the resort closer as the service, surrounding beauty, and accommodations were top notch! It was very hard to leave this most beautiful place! While in Zanzibar we had a walking reef tour at Baraza. We traveled on a dhow and went snorkeling, seeing all kinds of fish among the reef - followed by a private lunch of grilled lobster, shrimp and multiple sides at our own private beach tree house! We vistied and ate at the famous Rock restaurant as well! Highly recommend all these activities!
Through out the trip, the food was delicious and plentiful and the staff very sincere in making the whole experience as wonderful as could be. Jessica is so personally involved with all the details and plans, she personally knows the guides and coordinates the best guides for her clients - you will not be disappointed!
Seven years ago, I went on my first "once in a lifetime" safari to Tanzania...and now after my fifth trip - I still want to go back for more! [And I'd only do that using Jessica Mathews with Dancing Zebra!!]

Life changing experience
Suricata Safari is the best!
We had a fantastic 5 day camping safari.
I actually don't have words to describe the feelings I felt and how sad I am to be back home.
A dream became true- to see the animals in nature....the landscape..their behavior....just impressive. Our tour Guide and driver Golden- what a legend! He made it all possible-even the BIG 5!!! Also he told us so many interesting facts about the animals, he is super friendly and also a very safe and careful driver!
The camps were fantastic- also the bathrooms always clean, tents spacious....and the food! Wow! So delicious!
I cried when it was over...my heart is still there. Great company with perfect organisation. Everything 5 stars!
Asante !!!!

Great experience
I had an amazing trip with King Mufasa Expeditions, and everything was great from start to finish. The planning was smooth, communication was clear, and everything happened exactly as promised. Our guide, Calvin (Pablo), was excellent very knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the safari. He knew the parks very well and helped us see so much wildlife. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend King Mufasa Expeditions to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
