I love zebras
the safari is preserved in very good shape. everybody respect the nature. weather was good during our visit. everything is good, except for the taxi drivers, who always deceive travelers for extra money, which is a big turn off.

Orongai Africa Safari gave us an awesome experience
I booked our 5 day Safari via Internet with Orongai Africa Safari. From the first time I was corresponding with Martha I had a good feeling that I can trust the company. Everything with the payment worked. On the airport we were warmly welcomed. Then we had a meeting were she told us what will happen the next days. Our guide Frank was very very nice and friendly. We could ask him everything and he had to nearly all questions an answer. Frank has a very good knowledge from Serengeti. So we were lucky to see a lot of animals without other cars around. And we saw the big five!
From Orongai Africa Safari everything was organized very well and we have nothing to complain about! We can recommend this company to everyone who is interested in a Safari in Tansania.

Great Safari
Great communication before our arrival. During safari the communication with our guide was sometimes difficult, he was more calling with the phone than talking to us. On questions we asked him, he gave us short and not very informative answers.
The accomodations were very good. Perfect hotels with great food.
During the whole tour we felt very secure. Good driver.

Everything went according to plan and Hello Tanzania delivered outstanding service!
Meajabu was very helpful and “no” was mot in her dictionary.
We visited Makumi game reserve and were lucky to see the big five. The hotel was simple but ok. All the food was included, als during the safari.
We had a good experience!

Review about Swaziland by Arthur Chapman
The people are friendly - there are two major wildlife areas - Mlilwane Wildlife Reserve and the Hlane Royal National Park - that are both worth visiting. There are a range of good accommodation options available.

Explored the park for 4 hours (50 km) and saw Elephant, Giraffe, Buffalo, Hippos and lots more
Left Mbabane early in the fog and arrived at the Hlane National Park at around 9am. Explored the park for 4 hours (50 km) and saw Elephant, Giraffe, Buffalo, Hippos and large herds of Impala, Warthogs and lots of birds. Unfortunately, no Rhino or Lions. It was a good drive and I saw no other vehicle in that four hours – I think I had the park to myself.
The time I was there it was quite dry (in the middle of a drought) so probably saw fewer animals than might otherwise have been as many of the waterholes were dry.
I stopped at the Park Restaurant for lunch and had a delicious Impala and Cheese Jaffle, chips and salad.
The park was a great place to see animal. I self drove through the park. It could have a few more sign posts as it was not always clear from the map, exactly which track one was on. You do need at least half a day to see the park properly - unfortunately, my schedule only allowed me to spend half a day in the park.

nice safari for 3 real days, friendly guides, tasty meals, wonderful landscapes and the big five!
A first class safari, coordination by Daniel was perfect (he gave me even more services that those expected).
Guide and driving by David were very professional and funny, meals by Athuman were tasty and abundant.
My only objections are about:
(1) a non-planed visit to a masai village, where we had to pay a non-planned fee (after some discussion it was reduced from 20 USD/pax to 7 USD/pax),
and (2) the bypass of a requested visit to Oldupai gorge and Museum ( I asked about this visit the first day, David said Yes, and when we were leaving NgoroNgoro and I asked about David said "I forgot").
Anyway, it was an amazing safari, with a great benefit/cost rate.

Huge Deliviery from a Small Operator
The communication regarding arrangements was very good. Everything that we asked was adequately answered and more. All questions were promptly answered and always with a kind gesture. Paul, the tour operator, 'tailor-made' our tour to fit our bucket list.
Although we never got to see the river crossing due to the late rain, our guide, James, made sure that we saw the migration. We appreciate his trouble for doing this! James was very knowledgeable and keenly answered all our questions. He adhered to our requests and ensured that we saw a lot of game. From start to finish, James went out of his way to help us and make sure that our Tanzanian experience was up to expectations, this included taking us to 'shop' before and after the safari.
Our chef, Osmani, is fit to cook for a king. His food and hospitality is hard to match. We are still wondering how he managed to make so many delicious dishes, including the packed lunches, with such limited resources.
Compared to other operators that we saw at campsites, our camping equipment was much better and more spacious.
The overall service and experience was fantastic. All three gentlemen that we dealt with: Paul, James and Osmani treated us like royalty. We appreciate their hospitality and strong recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

When you are far home what you expect first is to trust in your guide!
I worked with Justin when I was operating business in Tanzania.
I am now back in Europe, but when friends are looking for a local Safari Company in Tanzania, I always recommend them to Justin's company.
This guy will never leave you alone in the middle of the Serengeti (right Justin?!), and if you are lucky to meet him, he has plenty of good mood (bearfoot...!!!)
