Exceptional service providing an experience for life
We first went with Makasa in 2011 (as a couple), and we have been telling people about them ever since. We finally managed to go with all 3 boys (born after our first trip), and it was even more amazing this time! An exceptional service, love into every detail, high quality and a trustworthy company.
Makasa put an effort into taking care of the land and people of Tanzania, and that shows. Everyone are positive, with trust and respect towards Makasa. If in doubt about who to travel with, we can not recommend Makasa high enough.
We have been home now for a couple of months, but the kids still miss our guide and driver Kelvin.
We will come back!

Unforgettable 18 night Safari including Maun, Nxai Pan, Boteti River, Moremi, Savuti and Chobe River
What an amazing adventure we have just completed with Nalange Mobile Safaris. Tebla and his team made us feel so welcome right from the start. Everything from the smallest detail to the overall execution of our safari was excellent - and we were treated like 'royalty'! Our large safari tent was clean, comfortable and warm. We were presented with hot water bottles for our beds and on our early morning game drives, a very welcome comfort indeed! The food was extraordinary for such an operation, with so much behind the scenes preparation and precision in delivery. We certainly weren't going hungry.
But most importantly, Tebla's knowledge and skills as a Guide were unmatched and truly appreciated. Let's face it - that's what we came for. Tebla has the patience and skill to find the most wonderful animal sightings, and we were treated to many unforgettable experiences. For this we are truly grateful. As a photographic enthusiast, Tebla helped to improve my photography skills. He would go out of his way to obtain the right shot, being aware of distance and lighting, working within the confines that nature presented. We would highly recommend Nalange Safaris. So much so, we hope to return one day to partake in another Botswanan expedition with Nalange Safaris. Thank you Tebla.

The best experience ever
Our dreams came true on this spectacular trip. Our guide was the key to making this an unforgettable trip. His abundant knowledge of the region and animals allowed us to see and learn about the beautiful animals and plants. We were a family of five with children (ages 15, 13 and 8), and our guide explained everything in a way that was engaging for everyone. In their words: “We could not have had a better guide.” If we have the chance to return, we would only want as our safari guide!

Expert, helpful and fun!
The Safari experience with Dancing Simbas was something phenomenal. We saw many different animals, including cheetahs and leopards that are shy and difficult to spot, elephants so close you could almost touch them, giraffes, zebras, gazelles and so on. All of this was possible thanks to our guide Ali, who stood out for his professionalism, kindness, helpfulness, friendliness and ability to spot animals at considerable distances. There will never be enough words to thank him properly. A thank you also goes to Bulldozer, the guide of the other jeep, who contributed with his experience and vivacity to make everything even more fun and magical!

Amazing safari
Our driver Max was incredible. He always managed to get us into the right spots to see some fantastic wildlife! I let him know how much I loved hippos so he made sure to take us to the places we were most likely to spot them. Not only was his knowledge about the wildlife next to none he also helped solve our luggage problem. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this safari company to anyone looking to book.

Expert tour operator for amazing safaris
I have been on the tour with Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro. All the safaris were amazing and every day gave me great surprises and emotions: elephants in Tarangire, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and much more in Serengeti, all the animals within a few kilometers in Ngorongoro.
The last day was amazing too on the Kilimangiaro's slopes: banana and coffee plantations, an amazing waterfall and natural pools.
A special thanks to our really experienced and helpful guide Alì and to all the Dancing Simba staff: David, Bulldozer, Joseph and all the others.

friendly, responsible, always in touch, helps with everything
This is the best trip of my life!!! I have dreamed of going on a real Safari all my life. The only problem was that I was going to go alone, especially since I am a young girl, it was very, very scary to trust someone, pay so much money and go to a not very safe country. But only after arriving there, all my worries immediately disappeared. Benard listened to me every day and answered all my questions in detail. He also helped book a hotel and organized a transfer from the airport to the hotel, since I arrived a day before the start of the tour. I booked the tour on this site alone, so they joined me with other guys, with the same program. I was very lucky with the guys, despite the fact that we are from different countries, it was a lot of fun and cool. So do not be afraid to travel alone. Our best driver Wilson, who accompanied us throughout the tour. Huge thanks to him. It feels like I never got tired after a long drive on terrible roads, he was always positive, told about everything, answered all questions. The advice I can give: look carefully at the hotel you are being accommodated in and compare it with what is written in the waybill that your guide sent you. Everyone may have different hotels and the organization suffers a little in this regard, because no one will take care of you whether you are accommodated there or not. It is quite cool in the mornings, a couple of warm clothes will not hurt you, one pair of shoes was enough for me, more socks, because we were jumping barefoot in this jeep, socks immediately in the wash after each day. I took a flashlight with me, turned on the red light to scare away flying insects, the guys took a canopy from mosquitoes with them, some hotels did not have it, and it seems to me that it is needed everywhere. We also needed masks in one reserve, it was very dusty, the nose immediately got clogged, not a very pleasant pleasure. In general, if you need, I will be happy to answer all questions, my Instagram is @vikysavlasova. I really missed advice from those who were there, I searched for people on Instagram who went on this tour, so I can make your life easier, write, I will be glad to tell you everything in more detail.
All the reviews here are plausible, I don’t see the point in adding anything about light, electricity and other things. There was a lot of food, but the last few days we ate on the run from lunch boxes, they are not very diverse, yogurt, banana, chicken. This did not bother me either, I took food supplies with me, and no one forbids you to buy food and eat wherever you want. Souvenirs are cheaper to buy in Nairobi, on the islands where the driver takes you, the prices are very high, he only helps with bargaining and that comes out more expensive than in the city. I had a whole day before the flight at the end of the tour, Benard took me to the giraffe center, I also asked to take me to the supermarket and for souvenirs. He helped me choose coffee, walked with me through the souvenir market, because without him I am a little afraid. And he also gave me a bottle of his company's signature, which pleasantly surprised me. In general, Benard is a wonderful person. You will definitely be pleased with this trip!

Amazing experience, stunning sights.
We had 6 fantastic days seeing Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, plus an 8k hike up through the rainforest of Kilimanjaro’s foothills. There was so much to take in, especially just how close we got to animals living in their natural environment- more than 50 notable species that you could only find in zoos back home.
This company was so easy to deal with, professional and responsive in dealing with our enquiries - that’s why we chose it. They delivered everything they promised and more. A really important part of that was how excellent our driver and guide Gilbert was. He could spot the animals, unerringly, from miles off and was very informative about the wildlife, but also about the culture of this part of Africa and the Maasai people, whose home it is. He delivered us safely and promptly to everywhere we needed to be. All we had to do was let him know our preference and we just sat back and enjoyed it in the comfort of our huge jeep!
Massive thanks to Ndutu Green Explorers and to Tom for his excellent planning and communications and making us feel very privileged with memories (and photos) we will treasure.
