Local Tour Operator who understands international travellers
We had a great 4 day tour in the Northern Parks of Tanzania. The tour was well organized and we appreciated that owner Issa was quick to answer questions and coordinate follow up. Our driver/guide Nico was excellent, he enjoyed telling many back ground stories on the animals and the parks. We were so lucky - in total we spotted 37 lions in the Serengeti! When we got hit by severe rains in the Serengeti and roads became rivers, Nico kept his calm and manouvered us safely through. All in all a unique and memorable trip, we really love to come again!

A journey full of surprises
It was a very fulfilling trip, there was nothing to worry about throughout, and the itinerary was very well organized. The guide HERIEL has excellent eyesight and aesthetics. He was able to find all the animals we were hoping to see and is also very good at identifying birds, so those who enjoy birdwatching can choose this guide. He could also spot very beautiful scenery and guided us in taking photos. The company said they are expanding into the Chinese market, so everyone can feel confident in choosing them.

Excelent Safari Experience
Instead of foreign companies operating in Africa, we wanted to hire a local company for our safaris in Kenya, so we booked Axis, but the experience was a bit of a struggle. They weren't very assertive in suggesting itineraries, they took an excessively long time to reply to messages or emails, and they weren't very careful with the information that should give clients peace of mind. At 8 pm the day before the private safari, which we had paid for months in advance, we had to anxiously search for them to get information about the pickup, schedule, guide, etc.
Thanks to the guide, Raymond, our safari was a wonderful experience. Besides being a very skilled driver, he is passionate about the game drives and search of the animals.

Incredible
My husband and I would like to sincerely thank you for the incredible safari experience you provided. From the very beginning, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and great attention to detail.
Maria was our first point of contact, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was always attentive, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Her guidance and dedication were truly fundamental in making everything run smoothly from the start.
We would also like to thank Prisca for her kindness and clarity in explaining all the safari details. She made sure everything was clear and well organized, which gave us great confidence before our trip began.
Most importantly, we are deeply grateful to our guide, Faustino. He was exceptional in every way. From his detailed explanations and constant support, to his impressive ability to find animals and adapt when weather conditions became challenging — he handled everything with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. We truly felt we were in the best hands.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend your agency without hesitation. Thank you for making our safari so special.
Warm regards,
Valentina

Incredibly engaged, organized, professional and lovely
I have never met such an organized, engaged, and lovely agent as Edna from Antonio Safari. She put together a fantastic safari experience for us from start to finish, pickup to drop off. She was available 24/7 to answer all my questions and made updates along the way as we wanted to add things. And the safari itself was amazing, Michael our driver was on a mission to show us every last animal, so we saw every single one form lions to giraffes to zebras hyenas hippos and elephants etc and some we didn’t even know before!! Plus, Aetna suggested a fantastic lodge (Entim) for us that fit exactly what we were looking for. This was all around a wonderful, pleasant and exciting experience and I will definitely book the next one with Antonio Safaris as well!

A Safe, Well-Organized and Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Experience
Our trip to Tanzania exceeded all expectations. We were four female travelers visiting Africa for the first time, starting from Arusha and continuing on to Zanzibar after our safari. Everything was perfectly arranged by Genius Travel, from itinerary planning to on-the-ground logistics. The entire journey was smooth, well-organized, and made us feel safe and well taken care of—especially important for female travelers.
The safari experience itself was outstanding. It completely changed our perception of safety while traveling in Africa. The pace of the trip was comfortable, the vehicle was in great condition, and every day felt well planned. Our guide, Suma, was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He has a deep understanding of animal behavior and was often able to anticipate their next movements, positioning us perfectly for amazing views and photos. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see a wide variety of wildlife, including the Big Five. His driving skills were excellent, making long game drives feel smooth and relaxed.
The accommodations arranged by Genius Travel were another highlight. All the lodges and hotels were clean, comfortable, and well located, with a level of quality that far exceeded our expectations. The overall experience offered exceptional value for money, proving that this was a thoughtfully curated trip rather than a standard package.
Overall, this was a safe, professional, stress-free, and truly unforgettable journey. All four of us were extremely satisfied and would confidently recommend Genius Travel and our guide Suma to family and friends. We are already looking forward to returning to Tanzania in the future and traveling with them again.

a very good local tour company
I chose this local tour operator after comparing many others. I was quite worried before departure, but my safari organizer Kelvin Bonith and safari guide Ezekiel were absolutely amazing. The hotels they booked were exactly what I wanted—no last-minute changes or unexpected issues at all.
My driver was a pleasant surprise. He’s an excellent driver; even on difficult, muddy roads in the rain, he drove steadily and never got stuck. He’s also very clean and keeps the car tidy every day. He’s incredibly hardworking—he took us out to look for animals as early as 6 a.m. every day, and we only returned to the hotel after 6 p.m. He always tried his best to take us to see whatever animals we wanted to find. He’s such a kind person and shared so much professional knowledge about animals along the way. I really hated to leave him, and I will definitely look for him again on my next trip.
