Unbelievable experience
We had the absolute time of our lives with Akondo Adventures and our amazing guide Dave!
The trip was perfectly organized, filled with unforgettable moments, the accommodations were incredibly comfortable and had the best staff on site.
But what really has made our safari exceptional was our guide and now also friend, Dave!
He is the best, kindest, coolest and funniest guide we could ever have hoped for.
Furthermore, his 17 years safari experienced ensured us a lot of rare and incredible moments during our game drive!!
Dave’s knowledge, energy and warm personality turned every game drive into an adventure we’ll never forget.
He made us feel safe, welcome and constantly entertained (ask him about the recipe for mashed potatoes)!
Thanks to him, we not only saw amazing wildlife but also laughed more than we did in ages :).
If you’re looking for a safari experience that goes above and beyond, Akondo Adventures is the way to go and if you’re lucky enough to get Dave as your guide, you’re in for something very special.
Highly, highly recommended and Hakuna Matata :)

Excellent service
They did an excellent job organizing a one day trip from Zanzibar to Mikumi. Jesse went the extra mile to make everything happen. I can strongly recommend Mags Travel and Tours.

AMAZING, once in a lifetime opportunity.
This was the most incredible trip I have ever taken.
I cannot express how amazing this entire experience was. We embarked on a five day safari with Abroad to Tanzania Safaris and the trip exceeded our expectations. Credit must be given to our fabulous, knowledgeable, professional, fun, and kind guide named Gadiel (please request him!) This would not have been such a great experience without him.
From my initial inquiry with the owner, Paul Justine, we instantly felt like this was a positive company to work with. Paul responded with questions in a timely manner, and the prices/quotes were better than competitors. The schedule Paul custom created for our family of four (two adults and two children ages 10 and 7) was perfect. The safari locations were beautiful. Gadiel guided us daily to see close views of all the animals. We saw lions, zebras, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, gazelles, buffalos, elephants, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, various birds, and even rhinos. The list seemed endless! Gadiel found these animals with ease and without crowds of other tourists.
The accommodations were FANTASTIC. The staff at each location was incredibly friendly and happy to welcome us. Each day we were treated to a delicious breakfast buffet. In the afternoons, we were given lunch for our excursion (though retuning to the accommodation was also an option), and dinners were wonderful. We were pampered, to say the least.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, Abroad to Tanzania Safaris paired with Gadiel as your guide, will not disappoint. It will be the trip of your dreams.

Great Service and an Unforgettable Kenya Trip
Booking our safari with Blue Lilac was an excellent decision. It was important to us to work with a local, Kenya-based agency, and from the first contact we felt genuinely taken care of. We had a very specific route in mind for our eight-day trip to Kenya in November, and our travel consultant, Faith, found a way to include all our wishes while remaining flexible with any adjustments we requested.
Before, during, and after our safari, Blue Lilac was always available and made sure everything ran smoothly. The safari itself exceeded our expectations—thanks to the great company of our driver-guide Timan, unforgettable game drives, and magical moments like spotting giraffes with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.
Overall, our trip with Blue Lilac offered great value and was an experience we can wholeheartedly recommend.

Better than I ever imagined
Regnald was incredible! He made sure we were comfortable and educated us on all the different species in the parks. We had two separate issues with the vehicle, but Regnald dealt with them quickly without interrupting our safari. Could not recommend enough!

Unforgettable Private Safari with Joagro Safaris
We did our safari in Tanzania with Joagro Safaris, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We discovered the company online, and their excellent value for money immediately and stood out to us - as well as the many great reviews we read beforehand. From the very beginning, communication with the owner Jonas was smooth, quick, and reliable. He was always available, incredibly helpful, and made the whole planning process easy.
During the safari, we were guided by Peter, whom we both thought was fantastic. He didn’t just share his knowledge about the animals; he also gave us deep insights into the culture, history, and everyday life in Tanzania. Through personal stories and his thoughtful, considerate way of communicating, he made the safari feel truly special. He had a great sense of when to talk and when to simply enjoy the quiet moments in nature — something we appreciated a lot.
The food during the safari was another pleasant surprise. Every time we had a picnic, we were served freshly cooked, warm meals — much better than what we expected from typical safari lunches.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied. We were able to see all the animals we hoped for, learned so much along the way, and felt well taken care of from start to finish.
We can fully recommend Joagro Safaris!

Highly professional and have high knowledge of how to get everything a tourist should want in safari
We had the best trip we ever had! Really good camps and a very good driver. The group guide was phenomenal and have exceptional knowledge of animals, photoshooting, safari guiding and Kenya in general. It was interesting and is highly recommended to see two different National parks. (Tsawo west and Amboseli). The trip starting with almost a week with two different resorts at swahili coast was amazing.

A fantastic epic to the Roof of Africa, flawlessly organized by Travel Africa Safari Agency
From the very first contact, the professionalism of the Gamedrive Travel Africa Safari Agency team was outstanding. Mariana provided excellent support and an unbelievable 24/7 availability, even responding to an urgent question at 3 AM. This commitment, supervised by the very reliable Daniel, set the tone for the entire trip.
The trekking team itself was simply fabulous. Our guide Oti, the cook, and two porters were attentive to every single detail. We were treated to hot water in the mornings and meals worthy of a Michelin-starred chef. Oti, in particular, was exceptional. His in-depth knowledge of the flora and fauna was matched only by his unfailing moral support. I greatly feared the cold, and to ensure I achieved my dream, he adapted the schedule, allowing us to summit during the day to enjoy the incredible sunset view from the roof of Africa.
The logistics were perfect, and the agency's flexibility was infallible. I had to postpone my trip by a month with only one week's notice, and Gamedrive Travel Africa handled the change seamlessly. Their kindness and reliability were beyond expectations. Bravo to the entire team for helping me accomplish my dream!
