Israel is caring, considerate and great spotter!
On my first trip to Tanzania I went on two Safaris. My experience w this tour group was amazing! Professional and caring are just two words to describe this company and the leaders who run it.
We had an orientation the day before. Our driver was fantastic and also a great spotter! Israel was our guide and did a great job finding animals. He was full of information about the park and the wildlife we encountered. I will be back in Tanzania next year and will definitely hire this company for any and all expeditions and tours.

Fantastic experience
Moses and the team have been fantastic from the get go, excellent about communicating with us and ensuring everyone was on the same page. We had the best time in Tanzania and that was all thanks to our guides, porters, and Moses. We are so grateful for the experience and cannot recommend Kiliclimb enough!!

A truly outstanding and memorable safari for 3 generations of our family
3 generations of our family traveled to Tanzania to help our mother (who turned 88 on the first day of the trip) fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing the great migration in the Serengeti. The service, attention, caring and professionalism shown by Exaudy and his staff was truly exceptional. From the care given to our mother to the professional guiding exhibited during the game drives, this was truly an unforgettable vacation with an outstanding company. The accommodations were wonderful, the food delicious, the vehicles comfortable, and the guiding expert. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company!

Extremely unprofessional Safari - I recommend you do not book
My sister and I booked a safari with Utopia Safari, guided by owner Exude. and it was a complete disaster from start to finish.
* From the very beginning our driver failed to pick us up, and Exude offered one excuse after another.
*Exaud was unprepared - not hat , no bug spray ( we shared ours)and even delivered us to the wrong location for our overnight of which he as to see our itinerary to know where to take us.
*During the safari, he was distracted by business calls and focused on his camera and other toys rather than the experience he was supposed to provide
* He admitted this was his first safari in a while because he had been working mostly in the office marketing.
*We were taken to the wrong location , again, mid-safari, and he blamed the government and the company for not notifying him of site relocation, showing a complete lack of preparation. We inquired to be told an emails are sent 2 months in advance with relocation notification.
*Our safety was ignored as he led us through challenging terrain without consideration of risk resulting in my sister's injury.
*To top it off he dropped us at the airport only to be told we were a day late and missed our departure flights.
These are only a sprinkle of incidences. Exude claimed to see a memorable safari "EXPERIENCE" , but all we received was a disorganization, distraction and negligence. When we requested a 50% refund, he insultingly offered only 20%. While he may know about animals, that knowledge ends there - he cannot run a professional safari business.
I strongly advise anyone considering Utopia Safari to look elsewhere. This experience cost us time, money and peace of mind.

Peter was the best guide we Recommend him. Thanks to the to the Kibo team.
Exploring 3 days in Tanzania with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris was very affordable safari. And honestly we were very satisfied with their best service. Waking up early in the Serengeti wasn't difficult because the anticipation was high. Sunrise in Serengeti National Park is something we will never forget. Ngorongoro Crater was a biggest wildlife, everywhere just animals. We were very excited to see wildlife actions so close up. Authentic camping safari. Everything was well organized and every moment we enjoyed.

Strong communication, and knowledgeable guides provided an enjoyable trip
My partner and I went on a custom trip with Madagascar natural tours for most of the month of February, and despite it being the low season the itinerary was able to be flexible and enjoyable while working around a cyclone that hit during the beginning of the trip. I recommend being very direct if there are specific things you want to do that aren't included in an itinerary you're given. I also recommend if you want to get more off the beaten path that you are forthcoming with this to both Harilala, who created our itinerary and was very helpful communicating through the whole planning process, and with the guides you are assigned when you arrive.
There were two guides we had for different sections of the trip, Nambinina and Lala, and both were flexible and great conversationalists if you have cultural and wildlife questions to ask them. Their openness to conversation even on controversial topics made this trip really memorable as Madagascar has a very diverse and interesting cultures. At one point during the trip we asked to change hotels and both Madagascar natural tours and the guides were extremely accomodating and the move was convenient and had no difficulties. I definitely recommend Madagascar natural tours for those planning a custom small group trip to the island.

Memorable 3 day with family
Our 3-day affordable safari with Jambo Bwana Expeditions was very special with my family. We explored Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater Safari. Our guide was fantastic and very professional. Our kids were very satisfied and laughed with him, he explained how animals move depending on temperature and prey patterns. That made the experience feel educational, not just entertaining. Our guide gave us the perfect and thrilling every game drive. We were really grateful because this was our 1st and very unique safari adventure experience and we enjoyed Tanzania's natural beauty.

Highly recommended them.
Fantastic Time Travel provides excellent service. Many thanks to Godson Nuruel Barnaba, our guide, and Gisela Kavishe. Traveling to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Manyara left a lasting impression. Good value for money, a nice stay, and a clean car. Highly recommended them.

Excellent logistic
We are 3 Brazilian women, not very young, and found Goldfinch Adventures through internet. We had decided to take the risk to contract them to organize our 11 days tour to Tanzania and we were amazed with their organization and high level of hotel choices. Besides our safari guide was very knowledgeble and good driver. We saw all the 5 five and other interesting animals. Special mention to the 5 days in Zanzibar. This was a dream coming true!

Absolutely Adventurous
We decided to do an evening game drive. Martin Pholoso was an absolutely patient guide who took his time to explain the surrounds and the animals we encountered. He made sure that we got to experience the
strongest Central Pride. It was nothing short of majestic.
