Experienced, professional, and dedicated.
My sister and I went on a private 5 day/4 night tour with Endless Summer Tours in November 2025. We stayed in Kruger National Park and were able to squeeze in a visit to Blyde Canyon at the end of our trip. We had an excellent experience from start to finish. The booking experience was easy, Rhys was communicative and willing to try and accommodate our needs and customize the tour to our preferences. The company took care of all of the logistics which made for an easy and smooth planning process. Rhys also ended up being our driver/guide and we were very grateful for his professionalism, knowledge, and experience. Thanks to him we saw all of the Big 5 and many many more animals that we definitely would not have noticed or been able to identify on our own. We had an incredible time on our trip and would recommend Endless Summer Tours wholeheartedly!!

Tanzania safaris and Zanzibar beaches
A trip of a lifetime. Great guides covering Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyana, Ngorongoro crater and southern Serengeti, where we saw herds of elephants, giraffes, antelope, zebra, wildebeast, cape buffalo, eland, jackels, hyenas, mongeese, hippopotomi, rhinoceroses, lion, leopard, cheetah and loads more. This was followed by a more relaxing period on the beaches of Zanzibar, where we snorkelled with dolphins and amongst the numerous fish living on the coral reef.
Every day on safari, we woke thinking that the day could not be better than the previous one but were consistenly wrong.
The fixed accomodation was excellent, the mobile camp was more agricultural as expected. Food across the various locations was good to great.
Definitely worth the money, with incredible experiences

Excellent, nothing was too much to ask. They went out of their way to make the experience amasing!
We went on a birding experience with friends for my husband's 60th birthday. From the start Godwin was excellent working out a customized tour that did not only suit our budget but also included all our requests. His communication and follow up on special requests changes was never too much to ask. We did zoom meetings and he gave valuable information not once did we feel that all the questions and demands was too much. When we arrived, they were all at the airport and we almost felt as if we already know them. Emmanual our guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient and went out of his way to always check on us and to make sure we had everything we needed. All our activities and guides assigned to take us out was also hand-picked. When we wanted to add on our program, they did everything possible to accommodate us. Highlights was the Shoebill stork, and the guides had to work extremely hard to show it to us! The Chimpanzees and Gorilla trekking, words cannot explain the feeling and the experience we had you will have to visit to know what this is about. The birding is excellent and all the special touches along the way especially on my husband's birthday made this an experience we will treasure forever. The accommodation and food were also great!!

3 day Safari Moon lodge and safari experience
From my first enquiry to the end of our tour Precious was very helpful and patient with me, answering the many questions I had and kept in touch with me during the trip to make sure everything was going well. We weren’t able to book the lodge I had selected but Precious recommended Safari Moon Lodge and it was superb. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, we felt very well cared for by everyone but especially Lini and Rowen. The food was plentiful and outstanding, the chefs certainly know their trade. The logistics of the trip were very efficient, each journey we took to/from the lodge and on safaris were with lovely friendly drivers and with their expertise we learnt so much about the habitat and saw so many animals and have life long memories of an amazing trip. We even saw the elusive leopard that roams near to the lodge. We weren’t able to do the morning bush walk due to poor weather but we had a long relaxing breakfast instead and were very sad to leave at the end of the trip. We will be back to enjoy the whole experience again!

Good organization overall from the tour operator.
Our safari experience was truly exceptional thanks to our guide, Simon. Even a month after finishing the trip, the excitement and gratitude we feel toward him are still beyond words. It was our first safari, and Simon’s energy, calmness, deep knowledge of every location, and professionalism made it an unforgettable experience, one that will probably remain the best trip of our lives.
We spent six days on safari visiting incredible locations such as Tarangire, Serengeti, and Lake Eyasi. The hotels were very well chosen and made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. However, in our opinion, what truly made this experience exceptional was the warmth and closeness of the people we met along the way.
Simon, if you are reading this, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything we shared. Both Joaquin and I are very grateful, and we hope our paths cross again soon.

Outstanding lifetime experience provided by Leopard and his team at Safari Moja Matata.
Four Canadians shared the experience of a lifetime on a Tanzanian Safari provided through the outstanding Dar-es-salaam company - Safari Moja Matata. Leopard the owner of the company kindly and thoroughly provided continuous correspondence with me from August 2025 until February 2026. Suggestions with honest appraisals were provided by Moja Matata. "We walk together" - a phrase coined by the company, aptly describes the experience of planning our 14 day safari through 5 national wildlife parks in the south, central and western regions of Tanzania.
We decided to arrive in Tanzania several days prior to our Safari. We discovered that Ethiopian Airlines provides outstanding service from Toronto to Addis Ababa and then to Dar-es-Salaam. We highly recommend Ethiopian Airlines. They are the largest airline in Africa, and the fourth largest airline in the world. Service is second to none.
Our driver - Richard and our guide - Elle picked us up at our Dar-es-Salaam hotel on the morning of our first safari day. We were excited and also nervous. This was the groups first experience travelling in central Africa.
Throughout our experience, the company addressed our accommodation and dietary preferences. Many of the roads that we travelled required a highly skilled and self sufficient driver. Richard handled every potential difficulty on the rugged, rutted and the occasional washed out dirt/stone roadways with ease.We experienced several mechanical issues in our comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser due to some road conditions that had deteriorated to do heavy rainfalls. All such mechanical issues were addressed promptly and thus maintained our confidence in our collective safety as we journeyed past Tanzanian rural villages. Four wheel drive is definitely required when travelling to and through the national wildlife parks.
Elle our guide throughout the trip provided our group of four senior citizens with information about the locations we would explore. She ensured that each destination was contacted and prepared for our arrivals. On occasion the hotels we used prepared meals for us in advance, recognizing that due to road conditions we might arrive later than anticipated. In addition Elle coordinated meals prepared by our on site chefs at the five national park Bandas in which we stayed. Having both a male and female as guides was most helpful, as they were able to address individual requests professionally. The experience of eating locally prepared fresh meals was great. Meals included meats such as eggs, chicken, beef and fish; vegetables such as peppers, onions, cucumber, beans, peas, squash; fruits such as mango, strawberry, banana and of course staples such as bread, potato, rice and spaghetti. The chefs prepared wonderful tomato, cucumber and potato soups for lunches. While travelling, we were provided with individually prepared lunch packages. Coffee, tea and various fruit juices accompanied meals. Chilled bottled water was available in our Land Cruiser at all times. Throughout the trip all meals were covered by our tour package price.
The purpose of any Safari, is to see wild-life. By visiting 5 national parks over a 14 day period, we saw a multitude of animals close up: elephants, giraffes, lions, water buffalo, zebras, wart hogs, impalas, baboons, monkeys, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles, chimpanzees, cattle, goals, sheep, wild dogs, birds etc. We experienced the opportunity to watch a family of chimpanzees in the rainforest for over 45 minutes, as they groomed one another. We stood within 4 feet of these animals, who lived in an isolated national park on Lake Tanganika. Our journey included trips via our Toyota Land Cruiser, boat trips on lakes and rivers, and concluded with a Tanzanian airline flight from our last site to Dar-es-Salaam. We returned to our initial hotel for several more days, prior to heading back to Canada. Leopard and Sebastian met us at the airport, and then Moja Matata arranged for a terrific Dar-es-Salaam tour by a local guide Sylvester and our driver Sebastian . We highly recommend the cultural park that illustrates types of housing used in the villages at the end of our excursion. In total our trip was 3 weeks in length.
In my opinion, Safari Moja Matata deserves your consideration, if you are looking for a quality and safe experience. I did a thorough check of eight companies prior to booking with Moja Matata. Their overall package was definitely the best. We were all glad that we were able to support a local Tanzanian company, based in Dar-es-Salaam. We would highly recommend a Safari tour. Thank you to all involved.

Great safari
I had a very good safari with porcupine tours!
They customised the safari for me to add an extra day at lake Manyara into the 5 day tour and the communication and value was great.
The tour itself was incredible and I saw so many mammals, plants and birds over the six days! The driver was very good at navigating the wet season tracks in the park. An incredible experience. The food the chef cooked was really great too. (I am vegetarian and there was always nice vegetarian options)
They were also very helpful arranging onwards travel.
Thank you very much Porcupine expeditions.

Excellent safari operator
Superb 1 day safari. We saw the wildlife up close and everything was organized perfectly with the hotel pickup and transfers. The buffet lunch was very good.
I highly recommend Rockfowl Safaris.
