Great value for an amazing tour
Great tour driver, amazing locations, great amenities. We did the 5 days camping tour and the food was good, the camping grounds were amazing and the driver knowledgeable and skilled.
The only critic is on the light fabric of the sleeping bags. Make sure you pack warm clothes for the night in Ngorongoro since the sleeping bag will most likely not be enough.
We also had somewhat of a messy ending since the local team in Tanzania were not aware that our drop off at the Killimanjaro airport was included. It took a phone call and a bit of back and forth to get everything rolling.
In summary I really recommend the trip.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Vivienne
There wasn't as much wildlife here, but it was an amazing experience being able to cycle through there. The gorge walk was very nice.

A very enjoyable safari with a knowledgeable driver/guide
From the very beginning of our enquiries with Wildness Safaris, communications were reasonably timely & clear. We decided on a 5 day safari to Selous Game Reserve, with Days 1 & 5 being travel to & from Dar es Salaam, Nights 1, 2 & 3 in Selous Jimbiza Camp just outside the southern gate & Night 4 in Sable Mountain Lodge just outside the northern gate. Our accepted contract with them included Days 2, 3 & 4 as 3 full days of safari in Selous Game Reserve. We entered the reserve around 10am on Day 2 & then unfortunately rushed through the reserve to the north to exit by 10am on Day 4, as the entry & exit permits last for 24 hours. Consequently, we did not get our full day safari drive on Day 4 as per our itinerary & only 2 days of Reserve entry instead of 3. This was explained to the owner when we arrived back on Day 5, but disappointingly no offer of a refund of Reserve entry fees was made. These are around US$75 per person per day which is not insubstantial. However, we did thoroughly enjoy our 2 full days of safari with our driver/guide Steve & managed to see a lot of wild animals in this time, so didn’t feel we would necessarily have any seen different animals on Day 4 – just more of the same, but in different numbers & different environments. Steve’s knowledge of the wildlife was amazing & he showed lots of patience in answering our numerous questions. Overall, we would recommend Wildness Safaris.

Amazing nature and wildlife
My Tanzania trip was amazing! First I did a safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with loads of wildlife right next to the jeep.
Afterwards I did the Kilimanjaro Trek all the way to the summit! A really big challenge, but so much worth it! The scenery on the way to the top was breathtaking!
The people are nice and friendly and they really want to teach you the Swahili language, which I thought was great! Arusha was a little too much for me with street sellers etc. I liked Moshi better, and in Moshi you also have that stunning view of the beautiful Kilimanjaro!

Incredible customised tour with so much to see in Uganda and Rwanda
I had a great experience touring around Uganda and Rwanda on a customised 5-day trip from Entebbe to Kigali. The office was very responsive and flexible with my itinerary. My tour guide/driver David was friendly, informative and fun! I really enjoyed the chimpanzee trekking, Bigodi swamp walk, Kazinge channel cruise and of course especially the magical time with the gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable forest! The lodges on the tour were all of good standards and I especially liked the Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge for the comfort of the room, view and the service. The food was all very good and plentiful. The roads are very bumpy but David did a great job to drive as comfortably as possible.
It could be even better if they provided more information on what to bring and wear for the activities, estimated the driving times a bit more generously (due to the roads), and informed me of the tipping culture, better description of some activities, and cost of optional activities such as the community walk near Bwindi (so I could ensure to bring enough cash; note: bringing dollars in small denominations or local money is better than euros or pounds)

A personalized experience with delicious food and comfortable accommodations.
My husband and I's experience with Wild Plant Safari was great! We had a personalized experience as it was just the two of us and our guide. Our guide Gibson really worked to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and we really appreciated his vast knowledge about the animals as well. He was a wizard at spotting the animals through the bush. The food was very good as well and accommodations were comfortable. We enjoyed our jam packed days and would recommend this a safari over a group safari any day.

The experience was amazing. I received excellent service from the staff.
The communication and service was great. The tour itself was very informational and fun at the same time. I got an opportunity to see quite a number of breathtaking scenaries.
