Experienced and diligent
We did the 4-5 day safari tour starting in Arusha, to Tarangire the first day, Serengeti the second / third day, and Ngorongoro crater the last day.
Silver was our guide and did a wonderful job handling all logistics as well as being an experienced and informed guide on all the animals. He was extremely punctual and spent a lot of time figuring out where some of the harder to find animals were.
Thanks to his efforts, we were able to spot some cheetahs (mother and cubs) which were really hard to find. We also saw some rhinos in the distance. We saw all the other main animals too - lots of elephants, lions, zebras, antelopes, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, interesting birds, etc. We spent quite a while trying to find a leopard in the trees but that eluded us. But there were plenty of other animals that we were very satisfied with all that we saw. We were close enough to many animals that it was easy to capture them on a phone camera. I did have an entry level telephoto lens camera with me (55-210mm) and that served this type of safari perfectly. We also took a more scenic / back route through the Maasai villages and Silver explained a lot of their customs.
All the accommodations and food was fantastic, the staff all very helpful. Even the camp accommodations in the park were very comfortable with running water and electricity.
Overall, it was an amazing experience. Would highly recommend this tour and our guide.

Creating life long memories!
We (a family of four) had a fantastic safari arranged by Ndutu (Rachel) where all our hopes and wishes for a 6 days safari where fulfilled. Rachel tailored a perfect package after our our wishes. It turned out great.
We had two days in Arusha, one for relaxing after a long journey and one for exploring Arusha. After Arusha we traveled to Tarangire National Park. Vi had a great stay over at Hearth and Sole Lodge after the park. Early next morning we headed to Mbuni tented camp in center Serengeti and on the way we had a perfect first game drive in Serengeti, spotting two Leopards, Lions and so much more already the first day.
We stayed three night's at the Mbuni camp, and we had unique experiences with different animals every day. After Serengeti we headed back to Hearth and Sole lodge, and on the way we had several hours in the Ngorongoro-crater. Here we spotted black Rhinos, Lions, Hyenas and big herd's of zebras, Impalas and much more. The last day of safari was spent in Lake Manyara National Park. We saw monkeys, elefants, birds and learned alot about Lake Manyara. Ndutu arranged transportation to the airport and our flight to Zanzibar for a perfect ending on our African holiday.
A special thanks to Gilbert, our guide for the entire safari, from exploring Arusha and tru all the way to the Airport for Zanzibar flight was amazing. Hi is a great guy and we all enjoyed his company, and knowledge about everything. All the animals, nature and the people and their culture. His also open about him self and Tanzanias way of life. We couldn't be more happy with Gilbert!
He spotted so many animals we never would have spotted ourselves, and our car where the first car several times when we saw some of the difficult animals to spott. Like the two times he spotted Rhino mother with baby in Ngorongoro. All the times he advised us to go here or there at certain times and we spotted cheetah walking on the Serengeti, Lions on honeymoon or the big herd of elefants walking all around our car. He was always on time, very polite and we all enjoyed our safari so much. We highly recommend Ndutu as a company and Gilbert as your guide.
Thank you so much for these memories and a fantastic adventure!

Perfect Safari Experience
We had an absolutely unforgettable 4-day safari in Tanzania—1 day in Tarangire, 2 amazing days in Serengeti, and 1 day in Ngorongoro—and our guide Goodluck made the entire experience exceptional from start to finish.
Goodluck was outstanding in every way: incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, the landscapes, and animal behavior, and always able to find the best possible sightings. In Tarangire we were amazed by the elephants, in Serengeti we experienced breathtaking game drives with lions, cheetahs, and so much more, and Ngorongoro was the perfect finale with stunning scenery and incredible wildlife encounters.
He was always patient, friendly, and highly professional, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. His passion for what he does truly shows, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible every single day.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we cannot recommend Goodluck highly enough. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, you will be in the best hands with him!

Always there for us, excellent
I have always planned my own trips, so trusting a travel company for a once-in-a-lifetime African adventure was a big decision. A friend recommended Lilac Roller Safaris, and I am so glad I listened.
Josephine took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I made several changes during the planning process, asked countless questions, and she was always available with patience, professionalism, and excellent advice. She truly designed the safari around our expectations.
Our journey through Tanzania and Kenya exceeded every expectation. Every lodge, every camp, every guide, and every game drive was outstanding. The accommodations were luxurious, the guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced. We could not have chosen better ourselves.
Because this was part of a month-long trip, a few unexpected challenges naturally came up along the way. What impressed us most was that Josephine was always there, day or night, making sure every issue was resolved quickly and efficiently. Having that level of support gave us complete peace of mind.
This was, without question, the best safari we have ever experienced. If you are looking for a company that truly listens, delivers exceptional quality, and stands by you throughout your journey, I recommend Lilac Roller Safaris without hesitation.

A perfectly executed adventure
Kajie Safaris made our trip to Uganda a no brainer. They were there for us every step of the way and I highly recommend them!
Everyone who helped during the planning stage( Ronald, Josephine,Maxine) and Ben our fearless safari guide / expert driver helped create the most memorable experience.There really is nothing I would have changed. Well....maybe could have done without being pooped on by a chimp,but just added to the adventure.
Trekking the gorillas was amazing and unforgettable! Definitely will be back for another trek to sit with these amazing creatures. When I do, Kajie Safaris will be my first call... Plan the trip!!!

Amazing!
We had an amazing 4 day safari in Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro crater. Our guide Ali made sure we saw a lot of animals in cool situations and locations. He knew a lot and was especially passionate about the lions! The accommodations were all nice and clean and in the jeep all drinks were provided and even cooled! Our cook Dennis made sure we had enough and very good food every time! Would recommend!

An unforgettable experience with Shinzelle Safaris from the first contact to the last day
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Danielle and the entire wonderful team at Shinzelle Safaris for organizing our 6-Day Luxurious Kruger to Canyon Safari Adventure.
We traveled from Chile, a country located thousands of kilometers away from Africa, so at first we felt uncertain about booking a safari with an agency on another continent. However, from our very first contact, Danielle gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. She always responded to our questions promptly, kindly, and with great professionalism, allowing us to prepare for this trip with total confidence.
Once we arrived in South Africa, everything was perfectly organized. The accommodations were excellent, all transfers were punctual, the guides were professional, attentive, and passionate about their work, and every detail of the itinerary had been carefully planned.
Thanks to Shinzelle Safaris, we enjoyed an experience that exceeded all our expectations. The game drives in Kruger National Park, the breathtaking scenery along the Panorama Route, and the outstanding quality of service made this trip an unforgettable memory.
We congratulate Danielle and the entire team for their dedication, commitment, and exceptional customer service. We wholeheartedly recommend Shinzelle Safaris to anyone dreaming of visiting Africa, especially travelers coming from countries as far away as Chile. With your team, we knew we were in the very best hands.
Thank you so much for making our dream trip come true! We would not hesitate to travel with you again.

Nuhu might be the most knowledgeable, sweetest and charismatic person I have ever met!
Wow, just wow! There just aren’t enough superlatives to use about Nuhu. This man should be an idol for everyone on planet earth. I have never met such a knowledgeable, sweet and charismatic person. He answer every single question, hard or not, with ease. His English competence is the best we met during our whole stay in Africa. We could also feel his passion for wildlife pumping through his veins. It may sound like I am over exaggerating, but I really cannot empathise enough on how an amazing guide Nuhu is. The safari itself was also impeccable. We saw a whole bunch of animals, even a lot of the rarer ones. Although we saw all these animals, Nuhu was still the highlight of the trip. With his immense knowledge and understanding of the animal kingdom, combined with his outstanding storytelling ability, he kept the whole family of 5 entertained for the whole 13 hour safari. Nuhu should be given The Nobel Peace Prize for making me find peace with myself. WHAT A GUY! The visit to the Masai village was also both really fun and interesting for the whole family. The rest of the stay was ok. Only 1 of 3 bathrooms were functional. The bedrooms were nice. The food was ok. The staff were friendly, but English abilities varied a lot. Even though the rest of the stay was not as amazing as Nuhu, he made up for it. I recommend Camp Bastian to everyone, IF you have Nuhu as your guide.

Magical Kenya experience with Michoore Tours
Alex was a great tour guide on my solo trip to Kenya. He did great job of explaining all I needed to know about wherever it was we went. I did several tours with him to include Nairobi National Park, Hell's Gate National Park, and a Nairobi walking tour, just to name a few. He gave me several tour options and I chose the ones that seemed most interesting and that I had the time to do. He was also very patient and flexible and guided me in exploring the food and culture of Kenya. 16 days was not enough time to see and do everything that I wanted to do, so I will return soon and use Alex as my tour guide again.
