An incredible experience with Mtina
With my husband we were lucky enough to travel to Ngorogoro Crater with Mtina, who made the trip an incredible experience. Along the way he told us stories to give us context about the place but also taught us a lot about the animals and with his experience we were able to track and see animals that were camouflaged. A totally recommendable experience.

Tanzania Explorer makes you safari dream come true!
I recently had the pleasure of using Tanzania Explorer to arrange my visit to Tanzania with Ruaha National Park and Dar-es-Salaam, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Tanzania Explorer is undoubtedly the best travel operator you can choose when planning a trip to Tanzania. They possess expert knowledge of the country, its parks, and its camps, ensuring that your safari is tailored to your preferences.
The team at Tanzania Explorer is incredibly experienced and goes above and beyond to fmake you enjoy your travel to Tanzania. I always felt safe knowing that if anything went wrong, they were ready to assist 24/7, handling even the most challenging situations with ease. Their dedication and effort truly make your dream safari a reality.
Our visit to Ruaha National Park was great. Known for its iconic baobab trees and large populations of big cats and elephants, Ruaha is a must-visit for you who love the wilderness and do not want to share it with too many others. We visited Ruaha at the start of the rainy season and while the park was lush and green it was a bit more challenging to spot animals, but the park's natural beauty is absolutely worth a visit also in the green season. That said we saw plenty of animals, elephants, buffalo, a hunting leopard and many more animals, the highlight being, a pack of wild dogs always exiting to experience! Ruaha is well known for walking safari so make sure you get the opportunity to enjoy this unique experience. I felt completely safae walking with two armed guides walking to incredible beautiful nature along the Ruaha River watching the hippos and crocodiles.
In Ruaha, we stayed at the beautiful Asanja Camp. The camp offered extremely good food, friendly people, great design, and stunning surroundings with a view over the Ruaha River.
I highly recommend visiting Ruaha, either during the dry season for better game viewing or the rainy season for its unparalleled beauty.
We also visited Dar-es-Salaam and was staying at Tanzania Explorer´s Villa. It's a fantastic place to relax before or after your safari adventures. One of the highlights of my trip while stying in Dar was visiting Mbudya Island, where you can enjoy crystal blue waters, white sandy beaches, and fresh grilled lobster and fish. Additionally, make sure to explore the vibrant and colorful food market for an authentic taste of local culture.
In summary, Tanzania Explorer, with Sonder and his team, is the best tour operator for Tanzania. Their expertise, dedication, and exceptional service made our trip an unforgettable experience.

Amazing Safari
We had an extraordinary experience with "Serengeti Luxury Safari"! Every detail of the safari was flawless, from planning to execution. Our guide, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, made the trip even more special by sharing fascinating information about the animals and local ecosystems. With his expertise, he took us to the best spots for wildlife sightings and created unforgettable moments. The service quality was exceptional: comfortable vehicles, luxury accommodations, and a level of customer care that made us feel truly pampered. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari, I highly recommend "Serengeti Luxury Safari"!

Brilliant and caring
We were a big family group from three different parts of the world all meeting up at Nairobi air port. With ages ranging from under ten to over seventy, Morning star catered well for us all!!
Our two drivers in two Land Cruises really took care of our needs and drove so well! There was a real sense of adventure every time we went out on safari! We had plenty of bumpy and dusty ‘roller coaster’ rides! Fun and Exciting! I felt so safe!! We saw such a variety of birds and animals. Both drivers were knowledgeable. Masila knew about the birds and Willy, who was very attentive, was a font of knowledge about the safari animals. I felt lucky and honoured to be driven by such gentle and professional drivers!! Amazing experience!
Thank you Masila and Willy.

They created a diverse, well-balanced package with varied stays and an amazing safari experience.
Our 8-day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Taita Hills was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The organization was excellent, and we loved the variety of accommodations included in the package. It was great to try both camping and staying in stunning lodges, which made the trip even more special.
Our guide, David, was fantastic—friendly, flexible, and very knowledgeable. He never rushed us, unlike some other safari drivers, allowing us plenty of time to observe the animals and fully enjoy each moment.
We were lucky to see an incredible amount of wildlife, including countless elephants, giraffes, and big cats, as well as many adorable baby animals. Every day was filled with unforgettable moments.
After the safari, everything was smoothly arranged for our trip to Diani Beach, which was the perfect way to relax after such an amazing adventure.
We highly recommend this experience with Kenya Safari Arcade to anyone looking for a well-organized and truly memorable safari!

Top service! Highly recommend
I had an unbelievably, amazing time!
This was my first time on a safari and I did a 4D3N private trip, including Gorilla trekking, Chimp trekking, Kazinga channel boat cruise, visiting the local Batwa people, Lake Bonyonyi and Queen Elizabeth NP game drives. I saw all the big animals available..elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards...I also saw hippos, chimpanzees, baboons, eagles, crocs, crested cranes (the national bird) and more. Trekking was great! For someone like me who struggles with breathing sometimes, I was able to do the hike comfortably with the aid of a porter.
I chose Frena because of the fuller range of activities offered in the tighter time framed programme and it did not disappoint. I did every single activity covered, had ample time at each location and was able to rest well in between. My guide was Issa. It was seamlessly planned taking into consideration timings, food and accommodation, paperwork admin and stopover breaks. Frena's team were so friendly and were always responsive, despite international time differences, from initial booking to completion. Pre-trip, I had to prompt Fred to provide comfirmation sometimes but he always replied quickly so no issue. Everything was handled by Issa whilst on the trip and you could just sit back as you were very well looked after. Very reliable service.
The selection of accommodations (mid range) was fantastic; friendly and attentive service; clean, comfortable rooms with running hot water showers; and, beautiful locations offering wonderful views. Lovely meals though they were more catered to international guests, rather than offering local dishes. Zebras, Uganda kobs and impalas roamed the extended hotel grounds at Lake Bonyonyi.
Issa is brilliant at navigating what was sometimes difficult terrain, especially high up in the mountains on narrow roads, and driving long distances. Very professional driver! Ugandan main roads are in good, smooth condition though. The car is comfortable with full AC, pop up roof and it even comes with power sockets so you can charge your devices on the go - so handy! Bottled drinking water is always available too. The changing landscapes of Uganda are breathtaking! The car allows great views of the animals on the game drives.
As a solo woman travelling, I felt so safe and well looked after! Issa was brilliant company. We had great conversations and Issa taught me so much about Uganda and the culture. Issa is kind, flexible and does what he can to make sure you enjoy your trip. For instance, I asked to try local food and Issa arranged it, he helped me set up mobile money, and we stopped to take photos when I asked. Thank you very much Issa!!
I would recommend Frena and hope I can do another tour with them one day!
