Awesome
Serengeti Smile did an awesome job in planning and executing our trip. The best part was our guide Libe.
He was very pleasant and accommodating all our requests.
He made sure we saw as much wildlife as we could.
The accommodations we chose were also excellent .
My wife loves birds and he took time to show her all the birds ( over 115 different kinds )
Would highly recommend them any day

An unforgettable experience
Our one-week safari tour with Madini Africa Adventure was an unforgettable and unique experience. Indeed, one of the most beautiful trips we've ever had.
Fedrick gave us countless fantastic moments and animal encounters, more than we ever could have imagined. He tried to get the best out of us and always positioned us at the front so we had an unobstructed view of the animals.
In addition to elephants, lions, and cheetahs (with babies) within a few meters, we were able to observe over 40 other animal species.
Fedrick's open and entertaining manner, as well as his incredible knowledge of the wildlife, plants, and culture of the people of Tanzania, gave us a broad insight into the country, its culture, and its wildlife.
The organization was top-notch, and we didn't have to worry about anything—pure relaxation. The car was waiting for us every morning, spotlessly clean and ready to tackle the next highlights.
The lodges and food were also fantastic and exceeded our expectations.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Madini Africa Adventure and would definitely travel again with Fedrick as our guide.

The best safari, i will never evef forget about it
We had the most amazing safari with Zania! Our guide, Mbwana, made the whole trip so fun and truly unforgettable. He was so knowledgeable, kind, and made sure we were always comfortable and safe. The hotels and lodges Zania chose were beautiful and made the adventure feel extra special and relaxing. We saw so much wildlife and every day felt perfectly planned. I can’t recommend Zania and Mbwana enough — if you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari, this is it!

Libe was the most attentive, dedicated, and friendly tour operator.
If you can, definitely book with Libe. Before each day, he made sure to ask what we wanted out of that day’s safari, and made sure we got exactly that and more. He was incredibly patient and accommodating. The safari itself was amazing, but we wouldn’t have had half the experience we had without Libe. Beyond worth the overall price.

Incredible experience and amazing team!
We had a larger group and the Muzbag team made the Safari experience seamless! They picked us up from the airport and were our chauffeurs for our trip to Murchison Falls and around Kampala. We saw SO much wildlife like lions, water buffalo, oribi, antelope, and warthogs. It was a blast!!

10/10 Amazing Experience
Andrew and his team are top notch! They love what they do and it shows. Our group of 16 had an experience of a lifetime. From travel arrangements, to lodging, to budgeting Andrew was on top of it. I can’t recommend him enough.

Irresponsible operator. Refuse to refund payment.
We lost $3600 with this operator, and the business owner, Abraham Haftamu, also treated us, the victim, in the most disrespectful way. Our booking experience with Vowland Ethiopia Tour has become a worst nightmare.
In July this year, we decided to book with this operator for our Ethiopia Safari tour. We emailed the official email address, which is under the operator's business website, for booking details. In early July, the operator emailed us the payment links to make the payment of $3600. Afterwards, they also confirmed the receipt of my payments from the same email address. However, we never received a contract, and this got me worried.
A few weeks later, we received emails from Abraham's email address claiming that his business website and email address had been hacked. He didn't receive any payments from us. He initially apologised for the situation and asked if we could pay an extra $1600 for the safari tour. ($600 initial discount he agreed to us, plus $1000 financial support due to the loss he suffered from the website hacking), While communicating the incident, he suddenly flipped his tone and refused to take any responsibility. But instead, claiming my email was hacked, that I was intentionally tracking and attacking his business. That I am a THIEF AND LIAR.
The whole incident is unbelievable. I didn't just lose my money, but also received the most disrespectful treatment.
I don't want to assume the worst for the business, but at least they are extremely irresponsible and refuse to take responsibility for their poor management. They refuse to resolve the issue, and they also refuse to refund any payment. But instead, they insist I am the THIEF and LIAR.
As a customer, this is the worst experience of my life. I hope no one has to experience the same.
I would like to thank the SafariBookings team and their investigation. Thank you for thoroughly looking into the evidence I submitted. I appreciate the time, the effort you gave to this matter.
