An Amazing Safari Made Even Better by an Outstanding Guide
This trip was absolutely incredible. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but every day brought something unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five—something I was told not to count on before leaving the States—which made the experience even more special.
Many of the animals were incredibly close, creating some truly exciting and memorable moments. The days were long, but worth it given how much we saw and experienced.
A special thank you to our guide, Gifton, who was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire journey.
I would highly recommend Take Me to Tanzania to anyone considering it. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Highly recommend Safari Soles and Oscar
Our experience with Safari Soles was excellent from the beginning. The booking process was easy and the team was very responsive to our many questions as we made decisions prior to booking and also as we got closer to the date of our trip.
The highlight of our experience was definitely our amazing guide, Oscar, who we could not recommend enough. Oscar is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and fun. We learned so much from him, not only about the animals we were seeing and locations we were visiting, but also about Tanzania’s history and culture. He also always went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. Oscar really made our experience so special!

Amazing Ngorongoro game drive with Mtinange and Alex
A great game drive with nice lunch in the middle. We saw loads of animals. Mtinange tracked several groups of Lions and positioned the vehicle so we could get some great pictures. 10/10

Exceptional Experience – Highly Recommended!
We traveled from Johannesburg to Kruger for the 3-day Panorama Tour and Safari, and everything went perfectly from pick-up to drop-off! Our friendly and enthusiastic guide and driver, Rudzani, showed us the most beautiful parts of South Africa on the way to Kruger. The drive was flawless and very comfortable, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the stunning landscapes with his informative commentary.
The safari itself was absolutely amazing! A big thank you to Given, who gave us an unforgettable drive through the park. We saw so many animals in just one day! We highly recommend this organization for anyone looking for a seamless and memorable South African adventure.

We had a flawless experience with Tourgy Tourz. We did everything that we were expecting to do. Guides were helpful and the accommodation just perfect.
They were professional in every way. Emmah proved to be most helpful. Next time we travel in South Africa, we will contact Emmah again for sure.
Highly recommended

10/10 for Imara Africa
I had an opportunity to visit Africa for the first time on a trip organized by Imara Africa. The 6-day trip was centered in Kenya and included wildlife reserves in Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara. Each location had unique experiences and the details were expertly curated through Imara Africa.
We met the team, including our guide Simon, as soon as we exited customs in Nairobi, Kenya. They met us with lovely welcome gifts and explained our itinerary, answering all questions. What I did not understand initially was that Simon was to remain with us every step of the way. He was our driver, translator, facilitator, bodyguard, wildlife expert, concierge and companion. We could not have asked for a better guide helping us to maximize our experience.
You will not travel wild Africa like we did without complications, diversions and the unexpected. Simon met each challenge with patience and good humor. It was a genuine pleasure to talk with him and see him at work. He knew where to go, how to get there and seemed to know everyone in Kenya!
The lodgings were top notch, with world class service and excellent food. Lodgings and almost all food were included in the package. The team even upgraded us at one point to help celebrate an anniversary in our group.
En route to Maasai Mara we traveled deep off-road and spent several hours with the nomadic Maasai people, walking their territory with them and visiting their village. We were partnered with a pair of Maasai men who demonstrated their way of life and answered all our questions. This was not a tourist simulation, but a very moving window into the lives of real people living as they have for centuries. The hours we spent with the Maasai were humbling and remarkable.
I did not expect to be moved as I was by the vast grasslands. You may know that the Grand Canyon is a big hole in the ground but it still steals your breath when you stand at its edge. The Maasai Mara savannah is like that. Looking for miles in all directions, witnessing teeming herds of wild creatures, watching the cloud shadows race across the grass. It is a spiritual event.
The safaris were the highlight of the trip. We traveled in the same heavy duty four-wheel-drive Land Cruiser each day, modified for the rough terrain of the savannah and safe animal observation. The large windows, pop-up top, individual charging stations at each seat and additional cushions made long hours in the vehicle comfortable and ideal for close but safe viewing of the animals.
The animal encounters were intimate and almost too numerous to count. We saw dozens of lions, hippo, elephants, monkeys, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, antelope, gazelle, and exotic birds. We even saw elusive animals like hyenas, warthogs and white rhino. We visiting conservation centers dedication to rehabilitating orphaned animals (12 baby elephants simultaneously fed from 12 enormous baby bottles). The headliner for me was the 30+ minute encounter with a regal mother cheetah and her three fuzzy cubs.
In short, I cannot imagine visiting the wonders of Africa with any other group. I will return with family and friends so I can share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with them. Imara Africa gets a 10/10.

Excellent Safari Company
My wife and I have now used MBITI Safaris twice. Both times their recommendations and service were excellent! Carol did an excellent job of arranging everything for us.
Henry was terrific! He came to our hotel the night before and explained everything. He not only drove us to Wilson airport but picked us up on return and spent the day with us guiding us around Nairobi. I wouldn't hesitate to use MBITI again. They are terrific.
