Great experience!
We went on a 3 day tour with Kanuth Adveture Safaris and had the same planning as the previous review. And we would defenitely do it again!!!
We really enjoyed the boat safari on the first day and we saw loads of birds, crocos, Hippos and a monitor lizard thanks to our capitain who was good in spotting the animals.
We enjoyed stay at the Hippo camp, found it very nice and beautiful with the river, the staff was friendly and helpful. Also the food was really good and we enjoyed the game drive with Toni, who made sure that we've seen a lot of animals, including a lion having lunch. Also the walking safari was interesting, to make you discover the ecosystem with a closer look on traces and smaller animals like insects. We also liked the landscape a lot, which is beautiful with its lakes, the river, trees and the mountains in the background. The animals were quite shy which made the game drive more interesting, as it didn't feel like in a big zoo (that's what we heard some people saying about Serengeti) but we still saw a lot of them and sometimes very close. All in all we can highly recommend to go on Safari with Kanuth Adventure Tours, they are a very good choice and will try everything to make you get what you expect!

Hike Kili, few safaris and Zanibar
I am incredibly happy I booked with Tanzania Expeditions.
The trip I wanted to be very custom. I had 8 people coming with me from different areas around the world and was ready to have the best experience. I wanted to hike Kili, do some safaris and then jump to Zanzibar for some scuba.
Since we were all coming from different locations, we planned a day safari at Arusha National Park for the first day of arrival before hiking Kili. This was a safari plus a walking safari with an armed ranger in the park. After this we drove around the Big/Small Momela Lake. This was quite the introduction to what we were going to learn about what goes on in a safari. The hiking part was supposed to be about 1.5 hours, we took 3. We had see and learn and a park ranger to show us around. Our safari driver patiently waited while we took the extra time, but he also kept tabs on us and made sure we didn’t just disappear. It was a great way to spend the first day getting acclimated. The next safaris came after Kili. We had a 4 day lodge/camping mix. I figured after hiking 7 days up Kili, we would appreciate a bed one of these safari nights. This is that ‘custom’ part again that Justin was able to work with. The safari drivers took us from Arusha to Tarangire, Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw all kinds of animals. They would politely shut off the cars while we took pictures. For me this helped with less vibrations for long distance pictures. The drivers would also stop for us to buy beer, pee and hop out of the car to climb trees for more pictures. They catered to us for on the spot requests, as well as made sure we were safe. They also kept in touch with the radio to hear where the animal spottings were and brought us to see the best! I think the only thing we really couldn’t get the best glimpse at was the rhino. He knew where the rhino was, he pointed it out and knew at what time the rhino would be waking up and standing up. It was just too far away for us. It really impressive how well they know those roads. The safari was great!
Justin was able to help with specific requests, the Kili hike and Zanzibar after, with a time crunch and and made everything work out perfectly. Whether you’re looking to hike, safari or enjoy the beaches, he knowledgeable about everything. He really has a great staff working for him. My friends and I still talk about our epic trip and how it couldn’t have been done without the help of Tanzania Expeditions.

The Pearls of East of Africa-Best Discovered with KWSS :-)
We are a couple from Hungary and we took part in a 3- week-long safari visiting 12 national parks in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
We got on very well with Mr. Otieno (Oti) from the very beginning; he is intelligent, kind, helpful, flexible and very good, and quick at both oral and written communication.
His staff and partners are also excellent-we can only talk about them in superlatives:Mustafa and Obed in Uganda, Martin in Kenya and Uganda, Clement and Jacob in Kenya, Mike Moshi and Saneh in Tanzania did their best to make us happy. We'll never forget the smiley face of Martin, our advetures with Clement :-), the very informative guidance of Saneh and the way Moshi always served our dinners- he always dressed up very elegantly to serve us wonderful meals on 'silver' plates, which he put on tables beautifully set. All the other groups were jealous of us:-D. We learned a lot of life and animals-especially of baboons, who even had a taste of our car:-)- from Obed and Mustafa. We always tried to go together as a team.
We can also highly recommend KWSS, whose tours are not only excellent but also good value and with whom we managed to put together a safari which lived up 95% to our expectations:-).

Overnight Safari to Lake Mburo
16 young people and leaders headed off on an all-inclusive two day, one night safari to Lake Mburu. We saw an incredible amount of game. Carlos and Kenny were engaging guides, they looked after us as perfect hosts. The vehicles were comfortable and we enjoyed the freedom of the open tops to view game. We stayed in the basic National Park Bandas and Tents which were more than adequate for us, we also ate at the lakeside restaurant: had a buffet in the evening and a pancake and fruit breakfast. The only hitch was with the accommodation which was a bed short but that was a National Parks issue. Would definitely recommend Steady Safaris.

We are birders & animal lovers, and Brian, our guide, was very knowledgable and excellent at both.
We loved our trip, which Ecological Wildernes Adventures designed for us after communicating with us about our desires. We wanted half camping and half wonderful lodges with bird feders, all of which EWA provided wonderfully. The lodges were fantastic and the camping was very luxurious and exciting. This was the second time we had used Brian Mengoriki's services, and we will do so again. We have recommended him to all our friends and several have used EWA and loved their trips. We can't say enough good things about Brian. He was a perfect gentleman, knew all about not only the animals and birds, but also the history and social isues of Tanzania.

Amazing adventures in East Africa
I and my wife went on a safari for 20 days in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania with KWSS this summer.
We were very satisfied from the beginning. The director, Mr. Otieno was very quick and effective in communication-he immedately replied to our e-mails and was available on Skype to-so we could discuss and plan our itinerary together in person which made everything easy and quick and helped us trust him.
We were not disappointed either once in Africa: he has a very friendly,patient, punctual and helpful staff who did their best to make our safari the most memorable. The driver-guides know a lot about the wildlife and do everything to get you to the best spots to view the animals and the cooks are excellent too! We were also absolutely satisfied with the accommodation Oti provided us- we could experience everything from superb lodges to camping out in Serengeti. Even though we were supposed to stay only in tented camps, Oti managed to upgrade most of our accommodations for no extra charges!
All in all I can only fully reccommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris, because apart from minor changes everything went smoothly as written in the itinerary. We had a wonderful safari with KWSS.
