Dream Safari in Tanzania Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Mamnaa Adventures
For long time I’ve dreamed of going on Safari in Tanzania specifically Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. After receiving several safari quotes, we decided to book with Mamnana Adventures.
We were truly honored to travel with them. They arranged our Luxury safari in a perfect way and made every detail seamless. We stayed at Four Seasons High end lodge in Serengeti and at Ngorongoro Melia, located at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide Mr David was kind, helpful and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire Safari.
Thank you and we highly recommend Mamnana Adventures.

Fantastic birding in Tanzania
We had a wonderful experience in Tanzania. The trip itself was very well organised. Everything went according to plan. What made the trip extra special was Frank, our extra special bird guide and Joshua, our excellent driver. Not only did they share their specialist knowledge, but they also introduced us to their country and their culture, which we loved.
We had fantastic birding all along the route that exceeded our expectations.
Highly recommended

Very reliable, highly responsive and professional company
The tour was very well organized despite our very short-notice inquiry (late evening before the tour start). All questions were answered quickly and the partial pre-payment was possible via PayPal. We enjoyed the game drive with a very knowledgeable guide Chris and saw rhinos up close. The transfer teams (Zimbabwe side and Zambia/ border area) were on time and reliable in guiding us through the process with vehicles in good condition. Overall an excellent experience.

Best holiday we’ve ever done – couldn’t have gone better
We spent about 2.5 weeks in Kenya going to Amboseli, Masai Mara, Naivasha and finishing in Diani Beach. Jas sorted everything from start to finish and honestly we didn’t have to think about anything once we got there.
Big thing for me was how he handled the lead up. We nearly had to cancel because of visa issues and only got it sorted about a week before travelling, but he managed to pull everything back together and keep the trip on track. That alone made a big difference.
The guide he arranged was spot on, really experienced and knew exactly where to go and when. Safari itself was unreal. We saw pretty much everything, just missed rhinos but that’s part of it. Even then Jas was already thinking of ways to get us to see one which just shows how much effort he puts in.
Whole trip just felt easy and real. First time for both me and my wife in Africa and it was something completely different to your normal holiday. We still talk about it now and are already thinking about going back.
Would 100% use Jas again without even thinking about it.
Bush walk in the rain
What a great morning walk with Lamie to learn about African traditional medicine, local trees and plants and see so many animals up front. It was an exciting and exactly what was needed after a day in Kruger. My guide really made a difference on understanding the local nature

Experience of a lifetime
We just completed a 9-day safari through Zimbabwe and Botswana, and I can confidently say this was one of the most meaningful trips I’ve ever taken largely thanks to our incredible guide, Stanford, and the team at Africa Zim.
This trip was especially important to me because it was my first time traveling abroad, and it had been a lifelong dream of mine to come to Africa and see lions in the wild. Stanford made that dream come true and then some. He was knowledgeable, patient, and completely dialed into what we wanted out of the experience. Every game drive, every stop, and every detail felt thoughtfully planned.
A huge thank you as well to Pamela and Sharon, who were fantastic to work with in planning and customizing our itinerary. One moment that really stood out was when we realized the salt pans we were originally going to visit were flooded. Instead of just sticking to the plan, Stanford coordinated with Pamela and Sharon to adjust our itinerary on the fly and move our second night from Elephant Sands to Planet Baobab so we could still experience the salt flats.
That change ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. Planet Baobab was probably our favorite place we stayed, the atmosphere is incredible, and having a drink in a bar set inside a 2,000-year-old baobab tree is something I’ll never forget. Most importantly, we got to experience the Makgadikgadi Pans, which was a major goal of mine for the trip.
It really meant a lot that the team went out of their way to make that happen. That level of flexibility and care is rare and made the experience feel truly personal.
From the awe-inspiring power of Victoria Falls to the wildlife in Chobe National Park and the beauty of the Okavango Delta, every part of the trip delivered.
If you’re considering a safari, I can’t recommend Stanford and the entire Africa Zim Travel & Tours team highly enough. They don’t just run tours, they create unforgettable experiences and go above and beyond to make sure your trip is exactly what you hoped for.

Tokkies Travel is a fantastic tour operator!
We had a fantastic time in Namibia. We had some special demands: we want to met local people who can interview. We want to have real authentic meetings with the San Bushmen and the Himba. Tokkies Travel arranged all this meetings, because they have a lot of contacts. Communications was very good, very friendly. They arranged everything we want and ask (if it is in their possibilities ofcourse). We felt very welcome and Mare-Lize became a friend of us!!!

Izanne Meyer was brilliant & meticulous in the planning of our safari with a family of 17pax.
Safari.com and all the arrangements made by them as well as their partners they used were reliable and trustworthy. We definitely received value for our money.
We were blown away by Izanne's promptness to answer any query, even if it was after hours. The Safai.com team were always professional and friendly.
We appreciated the reliable transfer companies and their drivers that Safari.com use. All the drivers for our transfers from and to airports and our accommodation were professional, friendly and most importantly good drivers.
The accommodation that was booked for our family of 11adults and 6 children, was exactly what we wanted. From extravagance to rustic and ending with fun in Sun City.
The highlights are to many, but I'll mention a few.
Kapama Safari River Lodge was amazing. From luxury accommodation to delicious meals and the friendliest of staff. All our rangers and trackers were professional and their knowledge of the bush and animals very impressive.
Five of our grandchildren were old enough not to have an adult with them. Their ranger and tracker loved the children's enthusiasm for all animals from tiniest to the big 5 of course. The children say they will never forget Kat and Martin and everything they taught them. Especially, a little of the art of tracking. Seeing the dung beetles at work in elephant droppings, the praying mantas at night and the big 5 in two days was exceptional.
Thsukudu is a small game farm with lovely, rustic accommodation that feels like one is part of the bush. Just so peaceful to sit on the veranda and watch the tortoise and warthogs wander in from under the fence. The staff went out of their way to make our stay a happy one. We loved the tales of our ranger. Seeing the two cheetahs that were saved as babies all grown up and back in the wild was beautiful. Watching the hippos at play and a big herd of buffalo was a highlight.
Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe was a certain highlight of our tour. Loved our accommodation and the best view one could wish for over the waterhole and bush. Seeing the animals right from our rooms or the deck and Buffalo bar is fun. The vulture conservation efforts here is serving as a critical, proactive step toward safeguarding these endangered cleaners.
The arrangements made for our 5 days there was perfect. Walking the tour of the Victoria Falls and experiencing the overwhelming power, deafening roar, and soaking rain of Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "TheSmoke of Thunders" is an unforgettable experience.
Choebe also gave us an explosion of memories to take home. Seeing the sights and wild from a boat and from the land was incredible.
Ending our tour at the magnificent Sun City was all we had hoped for.
Thank you Safari.com!

Chris was absolutely fantastic and always quick to respond while adapting flexibly to all our needs.
Our safari was an absolute 5/5 experience. Over the course of six days we were able to witness an incredible and unique wildlife up close which truly felt like a dream come true.
The entire organization was excellent and everything ran smoothly so we could fully relax and enjoy the experience. A special highlight was our driver whose knowledge about the animals and the environment was simply outstanding and made the trip even more memorable.
It was a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget and we can highly recommend it.
