Wonderful safari
A wonderful Safaris trip, which was based on our requests, we choose all of the locations ourselves, alternating between lodges and luxury camps; since we wanted a fully personalized experience. All the locations were by the high-level WellWorth hospitality collection.
Savannah Explorers organized all our reservations, trips and park’s visits (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) in a very professional and enjoyable way.
The guide man has been competent and professional, able to find the animals. In January the vegetation is very thick with tall grass but this has not prevented us from seeing a large quantity of animals in similar but very different environments.
The rain of the previous days made the roads through the parks very demanding but the Jeep, although a little dated, was very reliable. Internal comfort can be improved.
The guide was very good at dealing with the most complicated situations.
It was really easy communicating with the staff, we never had such problem.

Awesome scenery in lovely country.
We were lucky to see the Big 5 over our short safari. Our guide was excellent in identifying the best routes around the Serengeti.
Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience for my family.

Reliable Company, Excellent Safari
Mmilo Tours ensured that everything was in order, and we felt like we were in good hands. It was easy to contact both our driver and the tour company while we were on our trip.
We went on two sunrise and two sunset safaris and got to see four out of the Big Five. I am still not not sure getting up at 3am two days in a row is something I would recommend or not, so that is something other travellers might want to consider when booking. Hamilton's Lodge was a great place to stay in terms of location and had a great receptionist, but the restaurant staff was a confusing mixture of unhelpful, slow, and decent. The Graskop Hotel eventually proved far more service-oriented, and the majority of the staff were kind and helpful, and I would not hesitate to strongly recommend this hotel.
The Panorama Tour bit was unfortunately cut short for us due to an accident. But even apart from this, the Panorama Route was the part of our trip we were least happy with. Our tour guide/driver was very helpful in many ways, even taking us to the airport when we had to cut our trip short. However, in spite of asking more than once, he did not reveal the full itinerary of what we were going to see, which resulted in us spending a lot of time in one (to us, less interesting) place rather than other places that we would rather have prioritized had we known where we were going and that we did not have much time.
In short, we are very pleased with the company, which ensured everything was in order and that we got what we needed. The safari was truly amazing, and the SanParks rangers were both very impressive and knowledgable. We would not hestiate to recommend Mmilo Tours!

Tanzania in the Rain
Make sure about the weather when you book a trip to Tanzania
We were wet every day on Kilimanjaro!
We were wet camping in Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
The wet roads really spoiled some of the game viewing and some roads were to wet to drive on

This was the best travel so far, all because the great help of Swahili Paradise Tours! of
Jimmy our tour guide at Swahili Paradise helped us during every step of this great trip to Tanzania. We could depend on his expertise en sound experience throughout all our wishes and needs! The safari was great, all the time to spot all the animals, our Driver Abdul, very experienced, made the safari an absolute dream come true! I would defenitely recommend this organization as all the guides help you with everything: every hour of the day!

A good budget safari for a good time
As a solo traveler, finding a safari that not only fits my dates but also budget was important. I was picked up on time and our tour guide, Edward was really great. Though it rained almost the whole time, which was unusual for January end, it was one of the most fun times of my life. I met new people during the safari. The tent/rooms were good at Enchoro wildlife Camp. The visit to Masai village was awesome. For the first time in my life, I saw lions, giraffes and zebras. We also saw ostrich, different kinds of deer, wild hogs, buffaloes, baboons, elephants. I felt like I was watching all the characters from the "Lion King" movie. Because of the rain, our vehicle did get stuck at a couple of different places, but there were fellow vehicle drivers who also helped us. Edward is also really helpful towards others as well. The food was basic which is good. The staffs at the camp were also really helpful. Overall, I am really happy.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by KO
It was nice, but slightly lower rate in comparison with Masai Mara National Reserve, in terms of number of animals and size of the area.

Amazing when you don't get ripped off!
We booked a Safari tour with Crater Explorer on Safari Booking.
Exchanges where nice but only by WhatsApp, we didn't receive any receipt, anything confirming us the booking, but anyway, we thought it was quite normal in Tanzania.
Arrived in Arusha, the guy from Crater Explorer (Emanuel), ask us to pay the globally by cash a day before the safari without giving us any receipt (what is suspect).
Hopefully we were with a local Tanzanian at this time, who thought it was a scam.
And actually he was right! During the day the safari was very nice, we saw many animals, parks are extremely beautiful BUT for the accommodation it was the opposite of what we paid for. We were supposed to sleep in tents IN the park and actually we slept in a dirty lodge outside of the park, in a city center very noisy! We were very very disappointed, and we didn't get any refund, anything.
Just as advise, please verify safari agencies that you promote on your website, and make sure they do what they sell!
