Hope see you guys again
I chose Mufasa for my first safari, and it was a huge success. The itinerary was perfect, seamlessly connecting the safari in Tanzania with a city tour in Nairobi. The pricing and service were impeccable. Special thanks to our guides, Sam and John, for making the trip so enjoyable, and to chinese sales Echo for the nearly six months of coordination and attentive follow-up right up until I returned home. I highly recommend them and will definitely come back next time.

amazing
Our 12-day safari with Wagatil Safaris was such an unforgettable experience. Everything was very well organized, and we always felt very well taken care of.
From the very first day, we felt so comfortable with out amazing guide Eddie. He was always friendly, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable, and we shared so many laughs and beautiful moments together. He made every game drive and long drive even more enjoyable and always made sure we had the best possible experience.
We are so grateful for all the incredible memories we made in Uganda. A huge thank you to Wagatil Safaris and, most of all, to Eddie. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide and are so happy that we got to experience this adventure with him. ❤️🇺🇬

A huge shout-out to our driver: he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and put so much effort into making sure we had a great experience.
All in all, a thoroughly successful trip. We would book again anytime!

Excellent service and communication. They lived up to my expectations.
We chose Serengeti Smiles because of a recommendation from a friend. The tour turned out to be one of the best travel experiences ever. Champion, our guide, was fantastic. He really made an effort for us to see the big 5 and many other animals. He was very knowledgeable about the Serengeti and very communicative. He helped us with translation and questions about everything. I would recommend him, especially for younger travelers. We were a family with two teenagers, and he managed to entertain them. The accommodation was top notch as well as the food. Staff at each lodge were friendly and accommodating. I would come again!

Extraordinary!
Sept Safaris, together with our guide Godlisten, exceeded our expectations. We had a private safari as a couple and we spent 3 days visiting 3 different parks, as driving around the same place seemed too tedious to us.
1) Tarangire – We saw plenty of zebras, wildebeest, and elephants up close, as well as warthogs, mongooses, and antelopes. However, the biggest surprise was spotting two cheetahs: one from a distance and the other from very close up.
2) Ngorongoro – The density of animals in this park is incredible, with seemingly endless stretches of wildlife. However, the biggest surprise was seeing 6 rhinos, including a mother with her baby. In addition to what we had seen in Tarangire, we also managed to spot hippos, lions, hyenas, and ostriches.
3) Lake Manyara – I knew I could expect a lot from Tarangire and Ngorongoro, so I didn't have particularly high expectations for Lake Manyara. However, the park turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Apart from the many baboons, we saw lots of elephants from just a few metres away. We even came across a pair taking a mud bath. The area is heavily forested, so animals can often be seen from a close distance (giraffes, zebras, and waterbuck).
Our guide, Godlisten, knew every corner of the parks. It was clear that he had been working in this field for over a decade. It was thanks to him that we managed to see so many animals. He knew what time to visit specific areas and how to navigate the national parks to maximise our chances of spotting rare animals. An additional highlight was how well our guide adapted to us. He knew when to stop for a longer while because something caught our interest, and when it was time to move on. He also adjusted his energy to match ours. When we were more energetic, he matched our enthusiasm, and when we were tired after a long day of safari, he gave us space and wasn't overly talkative. This made the entire experience feel very comfortable and personalised.
Communication with Sept Safaris via WhatsApp was also smooth, transparent, and incredibly fast. After we informed Isack that we were having trouble contacting the transport company (Nairobi–Arusha), he personally called them and sorted everything out.
The accommodation itself was also very good (Inoga Lodge in Karatu). I could go on praising them endlessly. Highly recommended!

A Considered Review of Morning Star Tours: A Flawless Tanzanian Safari, September 2026
As a seasoned traveller who has undertaken numerous bespoke expeditions across Africa and beyond, I approach operator reviews with a degree of circumspection. It is rare that a company exceeds expectations on every metric that matters to a discerning client. Morning Star Tours, however, did precisely that during our recent private safari in Tanzania.
From the outset, communication was exemplary: prompt, precise, and entirely free of the obfuscation one sometimes encounters in this industry. Quotations were transparent, with no hidden supplements or last-minute adjustments. The itinerary was tailored to our specifications, and the inclusion of a bush flight—a decision the team helped us evaluate carefully—eliminated what would otherwise have been a full day of arduous driving. Such practical counsel reflects a genuine understanding of a traveller's time and comfort.
The lodges and camps selected were consistently well judged, and the logistical execution was seamless. For a trip of this nature, however, the guide is the decisive variable. In this regard, we were exceptionally fortunate to have Jackson as our driver-guide.
I do not use the word "perfect" lightly. Jackson is, quite simply, the finest guide I have encountered on the continent. His ability to locate wildlife was remarkable—swift, methodical, and seemingly intuitive. His commentary was erudite and engaging, delivered with a depth of botanical and zoological knowledge that surprised even our well-read party. He is also excellent company: witty, considerate, and unfailingly attentive without ever being intrusive. His vehicle was immaculately maintained and cleaned daily—a small detail that speaks volumes about professional pride.
It is largely due to Jackson's expertise that we completed the Big Five and the so-called "Ugly Five" within a single trip—a feat I had regarded as somewhat aspirational.
On cost: excluding international airfare from China, our per-person expenditure was approximately USD 3,500 for a ten-day, nine-night fully customised private safari. When one considers the standard of accommodation, the exclusivity of the vehicle, the inclusion of a bush flight, and the calibre of guiding, this represents outstanding value. Comparable itineraries are frequently priced considerably higher.
Morning Star Tours is, in my assessment, a thoroughly professional and conscientious operation. I recommend them without reservation, and I would request Jackson by name.
