⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari – Telly Africa Were Exceptional!
Our safari with Telly Africa was genuinely one of the highlights of our honeymoon and an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. From the initial planning right through to the end of our safari, everything was organised brilliantly and exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to William, who helped me plan the entire trip from start to finish. What really stood out was the amount of time and care he put into the planning process. He went through each and every accommodation option in detail, explaining the differences and giving me the flexibility to tailor the itinerary exactly to what we wanted for our honeymoon. Nothing ever felt rushed or like a standard package – it felt completely personalised to us.
Our driver and guide, Habib, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, the parks and Tanzania in general, while always being professional, patient and respectful. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire safari and genuinely added so much to the experience.
And the safari itself was incredible! We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, which made an already special honeymoon even more unforgettable. 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃 The wildlife, scenery and experiences we had were beyond anything we could have imagined.
Everything came together perfectly – the accommodation, organisation, game drives and personal service. You can tell that Telly Africa genuinely care about giving their guests an amazing experience rather than simply selling a safari package.
If you’re considering booking a safari in Tanzania, especially for something special like a honeymoon, I couldn’t recommend Telly Africa highly enough. William and Habib, thank you for helping make our honeymoon so memorable. It truly was the trip of a lifetime and we would book with Telly Africa again without hesitation!
10/10 experience from beginning to end. 🇹🇿❤️

An Unforgettable Family Safari with Aardvark Expeditions
Our safari with Aardvark Expeditions was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything was exceptionally well organised, and the entire team went above and beyond to make our trip special.
What made the experience even more memorable was how wonderful the team was with our 5-year-old son and my pregnant wife. They were incredibly patient, thoughtful and attentive to our family’s needs throughout the entire trip. They made sure our son was engaged and excited during the game drives, while also taking extra care to ensure my wife was comfortable and able to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or tired.
Our guide eile was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, patient and passionate about wildlife. He had an incredible ability to spot animals that we would have completely missed, while also making the experience fun and interesting for our son.
The accommodation, transfers and overall arrangements were beyond excellent, and we always felt genuinely well looked after. The flexibility and personal attention from the team made a huge difference, especially when travelling with a young child and someone who is pregnant.
The wildlife experiences were incredible, and we came away with memories that our whole family will cherish for years to come.
A huge thank you to the entire Aardvark Expeditions team Philemon and Elie for making our family safari so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Aardvark Expeditions to anyone planning a Tanzania safari, especially families. We would absolutely choose them again!

An Exceptional Safari Experience with Enzi Safaris
Our recent East Africa adventure with Enzi Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary.
I was part of a 15-person family and friends trip through East Africa, including game drives in the northern and central Serengeti. I have traveled extensively, including throughout Africa, and am certainly no stranger to African travel. For that reason, I am not easily impressed by safari operators. Enzi Safaris, however, exceeded our expectations in ways that truly stood out.
A major part of what made the experience so exceptional was the quality of our drivers and guides: Lemomo, Freddie, and Kinaru. Their knowledge of the wildlife, the Serengeti, and the rhythms of the environment was truly top-notch. But what impressed me most was their ability to understand the people they were serving.
With a group of 15, everyone naturally had different levels of experience, different interests, and different expectations. Our guides were remarkably attuned to those differences. They knew when to explain more, when to give us time simply to absorb what we were seeing, when to move on, and when to stay because something special was unfolding. They calibrated the experience beautifully so that everyone felt engaged, included, and invested. Their patience, attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine willingness to serve were evident throughout the trip.
I want to give a particularly special shout-out to Kinaru, who drove our truck. He was truly something special. Not only did he get us an incredible vantage point to witness what was quite literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the wildebeest crossing the Mara River, but he also made the experience even more memorable by regaling us with stories of his upbringing and his experiences as a Maasai warrior. His knowledge, warmth, humor, patience, and storytelling gave us a perspective on Tanzania and Maasai culture that no guidebook could provide. Having Kinaru as our driver was a privilege.
And last, but certainly not least, a very special thank you to Ally, the owner of Enzi Safaris and the person who organized our trip. Ally did an amazing job. Bringing together an experience for 15 family members and friends with different interests and expectations is no small task, and she managed to make the entire journey feel seamless and personal.
We were also especially grateful that Ally owns and operates a fully African-owned safari company. That made the experience even more meaningful. There was something very special about exploring Tanzania through a company that is African-owned, locally rooted, and deeply connected to the people, culture, and communities of the region.
Enzi Safaris delivered far more than a series of game drives. They created an experience that was personal, educational, exhilarating, and deeply connected to Tanzania. The combination of outstanding guides, genuine hospitality, local knowledge, and Ally's thoughtful organization made this a trip we will remember for years to come.
To Ally, Lemomo, Freddie, Kinaru, and the entire Enzi Safaris team: thank you for making an extraordinary journey even more extraordinary.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Enzi Safaris highly enough. They are the real deal.

Incredible one-day trip to Amboseli National Park, Kenya
My friend and I wanted to go to Amboseli National Park before starting our safari tour in Maasai Mara. We searched for tour operators that could organise a one-day tour from Nairobi and found Balu Travels through Safari bookings.
We had a great experience with them. Shaddy was an amazing driver and guide, going the extra mile to get us all the things we asked for. He picked us from our hotel early in the morning and we didn’t get back until 20:00. It’s a bit expensive but well worth it! We recommend picking the land cruiser and be ready for a long drive to and from the park.

Trip of a Lifetime with Native Afrika Voyage
Trip of a Lifetime with Native Afrika Voyage - so it’s only fair I give a thorough review!
I enquired about a private safari online after already booking my flights, so I needed to work backwards and fit everything around our dates. From the start, Milcah was incredibly thorough, helpful and accommodating. I changed our itinerary a couple of times, but she was always happy to make adjustments and came back with great suggestions also shift dates to make the hotel accommodation work.
I explained that I wanted plenty of variety, good accommodation and hotels with watering holes, and as a photographer, plenty of opportunities to photograph wildlife. Milcah went above and beyond and delivered exactly what we were looking for.
The itinerary was fantastic, with a great mix of accommodation and experiences. Alongside traditional game drives, we had a boat safari and a walking safari. Everything was organised perfectly, from airport pickup through to our final drop-off at our airport hotel. The service throughout was excellent, and Milcah was incredibly responsive, even outside normal hours.
Then there was our driver, Steve, who really made the trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife and birds was excellent, but what really stood out to me as a photographer was how well he positioned the vehicle. He would often manoeuvre us into the perfect spot, giving me fantastic opportunities to photograph the animals. He was patient and always seemed to know where to position us for the best view, which made a huge difference to the photographs I was able to capture.
One of the absolute highlights was witnessing a lion attack during the Great Migration. It was a completely unpredictable wildlife moment that you simply cannot plan or guarantee, but Steve had us in the right place at the right time. I managed to capture a photograph during the encounter that has genuinely become my favourite photograph I've ever taken. As a wildlife photographer, it was an incredibly special moment that I will remember for the rest of my life.
Of course, wildlife is wild, and moments like this are never guaranteed. That's part of what makes a safari so special. You can plan the parks and routes, but ultimately the animals decide what happens. What you can ask for is an experienced guide who knows the area and gives you the best possible chance of witnessing those special moments, and Steve did exactly that.
His knowledge and eyesight were incredible too. We'd be driving along and Steve would suddenly spot an animal hundreds of metres away that we'd completely missed. In Amboseli, he knew where the elephants were likely to cross in front of Mount Kilimanjaro, and he helped us find animals we hadn't yet seen, including cheetahs and leopards.
The little details didn't go unnoticed either. Every morning the safari vehicle was spotless, our drinks were topped up with cold water, and Steve was always on time with a big smile. He even let us connect our own music to the vehicle's speakers.
Steve was an exceptional guide and driver, and as a wildlife photographer I couldn't have asked for someone better. I would highly recommend requesting him if you book with Native Afrika Voyage.
We had such an incredible experience that we're already organising another safari with Native Afrika Voyage, this time for my parents!
A huge thank you to Milcah, Steve and the whole Native Afrika Voyage team for an unforgettable trip. From the planning and organisation to the accommodation, experiences, wildlife and service, everything exceeded our expectations.
Highly recommend Native Afrika Voyage if you're planning a safari in Kenya. We couldn't have asked for a better trip!

Simply outstanding, they made our trip to Uganda one of a kind.
My wife and I visited Uganda with the help of Buyaga safaris and we cannot speak highly enough of their services.
Our tour was 5 days and included several game drives, chimpanzee trekking and a gorilla trek. All of these experiences passed our expectations.
Between the amazing stops and adventures our guide Simpson was an absolute joy. He was a great driver, guide and companion who we enjoyed having with us every step of the way. He was informative, knowledgeable and very passionate about his country and you could sense the pride he felt when he showed us the beautiful Ugandan countryside. It was also clear that he is good at his craft and is well respected because everyone we seemed to meet a the hotels, treks and restaurants immediately recognized and greeted him like an old friend. It is very easy to feel comfortable and enjoy your trip when this kind of person is the one leading you.
Everything about Uganda and this trip was pleasant. From communicating with Peter who helped us craft the perfect itinerary and was always super easy to communicate with, even though we were planning our visit from the other side of the world as my wife and I are from Canada.
We also wanted to speak highly of the accommodations that we stayed in along the way. We stayed in three different hotels on our trip and every single one of them was amazing. They all had gorgeous rooms with unique views and all of the meals were fantastic. Every single night we got to select our own 3 course meal and each morning we were treated to a delicious breakfast cooked to order. Definitely exceeded our expectations considering we opted to go with a “budget friendly” itinerary to keep our cost down.
I could go on, but just know that booking with Buyaga is a safe choice and you will not regret it.

Excellent Tour Operator and Guides
I recently did a 10 day camping trip from Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park, Elephant Sands, Maun and the Okavango. It was all a fantastic experience, and the only very basic camping was in the Okavango in a very remote location but beautiful spot, where we saw lots of Elephant, zebra and Wildebeest. Other nights we were upgraded to Glamping or chalets. There were only two of us on the tour which was great as most other companies require a minimum number. Our guide, Francis was very informative and efficient.
