Professional and Prompt
An African Safari was one of the trips on my bucket list. Kimgoni Tanzania Safaris help me to achieve this dream by kicking off my adventure with a drive in Arusha National Park and shopping at the African Gallery Museum. Philipo and team were professional and provided great customer service (timely responses to any questions or concerns via email and WhatsApp). I was undecided on what to do in Arusha, but the team provided me a list of options and was very flexible with my schedule.
I highly recommend selecting Kimgoni Tanzania Safaris for your Safari adventure.

Thoughtful, well appointed and organized tour.
Everything about our tour has exceeded our expectations. All communication was excellent and the trip flowed smoothly from location to location. Alex was always conscious about where he was taking us, where to place to vehicle to ensure optimal pictures. He is extremely knowledgeable about the park and the animals (even willing to answer our kids most ridiculous questions). We can't recommend he and Morningstar enough.

Very satisfying trip with some room for improvement
Overall very satisfying trip.
Good : Our driver, Dickson, was professional, knowledgeable and caring. He was always trying his best to spot animals and was kind and respectful to everyone in the group. Also very good driving skills.
The two full days in Masai Mara and Amboseli are definitely the highlight of thr trip, beautiful scenery and we saw all of big five.
Food and accommodation are surprisingly decent.
Bad: The Masai village is definitely not recommended. Though this is not the fault of travel agency nor driver, I still feel like being robbed(one guy tried to take my watch!).
The planning of the program could use some work. There were a lot of non-stop driving, we missed some activities due to traffic and unforeseeable incidents, but no detriment to the overall experience.
I would still recommend anyone to take on this wonderful journey, just beware that this is a budget trip, so set your expectations accordingly.

Wasting time and boredom
The day before departure, I confirmed how to pick me up at the airport by email, saying that someone would be waiting outside with a sign with my name on it. But when I arrived, I didn't see the driver. I contacted the travel agency through WhatsApp before the driver was arranged to pick me up. I waited for a long time.
After coming to Kenya, all the times told by the people here will not be on time. Please be prepared to wait for 15-30 minutes each time.
Our driver Kikito was very enthusiastic on the first day, but the car broke down halfway on the first day, so it wasted a lot of time, resulting in a very short time in Masai Mara on the first day, and only saw some common animals.
The second day was the best day of the entire trip. The driver took us to find many animals and saw lions and cheetahs.
After that, the drivers of Nakuru, Naivasha Lake, and Amboseli were very perfunctory and did not look for animals seriously. Moreover, Nakuru only stayed for 2 hours, and the day's trip ended at 2 pm. It ended so early, which surprised all of us!
On the fifth day, there was suddenly a girl on the car. The driver said she was an intern from their company. But our car stopped several times for her to take pictures of animals. I felt that she was more like a guest. We arrived at Amboseli very late that day. When I got off the car, I asked the driver to turn on the lights because I wanted to get something, but the driver refused. I know that the lights can be turned on in the car because they were turned on in the past few days. I don’t know why he refused to turn them on that day. The lights were not broken. This made me very confused, and he was in a bad mood. I don’t know why he was unhappy and brought this mood into work.
On the sixth day, the driver drove very slowly and wasted time with us all day in Amboseli. The car broke down in the park, causing us to waste a lot of time waiting. We didn’t see any animals that day. They were all wildebeests, antelopes, elephants, and giraffes that we had seen before.
The last day was even more outrageous. The driver actually stopped the car and arranged for us to wait in the car while he had breakfast and coffee leisurely in the restaurant. His breakfast time can definitely be described as leisurely.
After the trip, I felt that it was a waste of time. Everything I saw could be seen in the zoo, but I spent money to come here to waste time. I didn’t receive good service either.

Unforgettable Solo Safari Adventure
I recently embarked on a solo trip to Kenya with Kenya Tulia Safari Holiday Arcade, and it was truly a wonderful experience.
From the moment of booking to the actual journey, everything was smooth and hassle-free. My driver-guide, Suleiman, was fantastic and made my trip unforgettable. The game drives were particularly amazing, conducted with utmost respect for the wildlife.
The accommodations were excellent, staffed with smiling and kind individuals who were always ready to assist.
Kenya itself is a beautiful and magical destination, and Kenya Tulia Safari Holiday Arcade made the experience even more memorable.

Hello Tanzania the best choice for Safari
Our safari with Hello Tanzania was an African adventure dream come true! From the first contact until the end of the trip, the company showed its best side, providing an unforgettable experience.
Professional organization: The entire trip began with punctual pickup from the ferry. Our driver was waiting for us with a smile, ready to start our adventure. The trip around Tanzania was comfortable and safe, thanks to the driver's skills and experience. During the journey, we were treated to a delicious meal. The flavors of local cuisine were perfectly matched to our expectations and added a nice touch to the trip.
The hotel proposed by Hello Tanzania was absolutely exceptional. Comfortable rooms, swimming pool and friendly service made us feel at home there. The hotel service was great.
A fascinating addition to our safari was a visit to a Maasai village. We had the opportunity to learn about the culture, traditions and everyday life of the Maasai, which was an enriching experience that added depth to our trip.
The highlight of our trip was our stay in Mikumi National Park. We were given a wonderful open car that allowed us to observe wildlife up close and without restrictions. Our guide was not only engaging, but also extremely knowledgeable. We spent the entire day tracking and admiring wildlife until the magical sunset.
The driver and guide in one person deserve special mention. His commitment, knowledge of the area and enthusiasm made every moment of the safari full of emotions and discoveries.
Hello Tanzania provided us with a safari that exceeded our wildest expectations. Everything was perfectly organized and every aspect of the trip was thought out and carefully planned. We highly recommend this company to anyone who dreams of an authentic, exciting safari adventure. Thank you, Hello Tanzania, for an unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience, flexible scheduling, & responsive
We did the 8-day Lemosho route + 4 day safari with Almighty Kilimanjaro. Everything was perfect!
Responsiveness + service:
They met us at the airport, took care of any kind of driving need (including little things like going to the market for a toothbrush or driving us to/from dinner in Moshi). We were given a briefing before Kilimanjaro and another before the safari which really helped answer any remaining questions we had. We had a day off in between & decided we wanted to go to the hotsprings - the company was able to book us a driver to do this the day before & took care of us the entire way. We also did a coffee plantation tour the morning of our ride to the airport and they took care of our luggage, managing our time, getting us there, taking us to lunch, and then driving us to the airport. Anything we needed, they were there to provide, always responding on whatsapp within a few minutes.
Safari:
Our safari guide was Emmanuel and we cannot say enough good things about him!! He's a good driver, knows everything about the animals, trees, plans, landscapes, etc. He will even answer all the hypothetical questions of one animal against another you can think of for you :D. He is always in contact with seemingly everyone in the entire park and knows exactly where to go to maximize our number of animals. We saw the big 5 which included countless lions (right up against our door! :O). The hotels were great especially in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - we saw zebras and giraffes right outside our balconies! Emmanuel would also sit with us at dinner when he stayed at the same hotel as us and learning about his life, views, & country really made the trip unforgettable.
Kilimanjaro:
Our lead guide was Ombeni and he and his entire team of guides & porters were great! He happily answered all our questions, reassured us about conditions on the mountain, checked in on us, and helped us any time we needed it. He also gave us story time during our shorter acclimitization hikes in the evening which was a great time to hear about his views and learn more about Kilimanjaro. There was lots of singing and dancing and this really encouraged us up the mountain and was great on the way down too :).
A few things I think might have made it even better: the guides spending more time with the clients - sitting with us at dinner or drinking tea, some icebreakers so we can get to know each other (I would have expected after 8 days that they knew our names and we knew theirs), the food was great, but after 8 days it was a bit repetitive :), and the final day restaurant we went to - it would have been great to get restaurant food instead of more mountain food (even if we had to pay for it, we really wanted something different at this point).
