Dancing Zebra was an absolute pleasure to work w/ & if I'm fortunate to go again it will be w/ DZ!!!
Before leaving for this trip of a lifetime, I was overwhelmed with the feelings of gratitude to be so fortunate and blessed to be able to experience such an amazing opportunity. Dancing Zebra and Tanzania did not disappoint!! I left this Safari and experience with even more gratitude and appreciation then I ever expected. On our drive to the Serengeti airport on our departure day, I couldn't keep the tears from falling as I reflected on my time on safari in Tanzania. Besides the beautiful, breathtaking and unique landscapes and most AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL animals, the people of Tanzania were beyond wonderful! For those who travel, we all know that it's the people that make the place. The welcome, the hospitality, the spirit and the smiles of the Tanzanian people were also a huge part of this special experience. And our most beloved Tanzanian....Ian, our safari guide! We were beyond blessed to have him guide us, teach us and share this experience with us. Thank you Ian for everything!!! We will never, ever forget you!!! You are truly the best! Although everything was beyond wonderful, this would all not be possible if it wasn't for our knowledgeable, caring and hard working tour operator Jessica at Dancing Zebra. Her passion for Tanzania and it's people shine through and her personable and thorough approach let you know you are in great hands. Jessica stuck with us through the trying times of Covid and delivered the most amazing, special and memorable itinerary one could ask for. I wouldn't have changed a thing and if I am so fortunate and blessed to be able to go on safari again, it will be with Jessica at Dancing Zebra. THANK YOU Jessica for your caring touch and your personable investment in making this vacation into what dreams are made of! I will never forget this one!!! MAHALO NUI LOA!!!

Beyond Expectation!!!!
Our friend introduced us to Compass and Darren back in 2019. We have planned originally our anniversary trip to South Africa in 2020. Compass and Darren‘s help was crucial during covid pandemic since there was change of plans and lot of cancelations.
2 years and a newborn later we finally got the chance to go to Africa. It was truly an amazing experience. We felt assisted every step of the way. Local guides and acomodations were first class.
We visited three different countries and Darren’s help allow us to enjoy our travelings without any stress.
We are very thankful with him and his team. He definately made our first trip to Africa a lifetime experience!

Tanzania as a safari destination that has it all.
If this is your first safari and your driving ambition is to get some amazing sightings and to rack up the big 5 as soon as possible then Ngorongoro Conservation Area is probably the best place in the world. Head for the Serengeti, however, if you have time for a longer safari and your goal is to take time to roam – moving as a nomad with the vast herds, or simply skirting across the savannah between the rock outcrops that are the lookout posts of the Serengeti prides. The Serengeti remains for me (alongside Botswana’s Kalahari) as one of the very best places in the world to experience the awe-inspiring vastness of the African wilderness. There is no feeling like being in the middle of the incomparable immensity of the savannah with no other vehicle in sight and a herd of wildebeest stretching as far as the eye can see towards the horizon. Big thumb up to Mgalaa Expeditions for organizing such a wonderful safari of our life.

A 50th Wedding Anniversary Dream Come True!
This was one of the best vacations we ever had and we have been on quite a few in our lives. The guides were excellent, the itineray was perfectly planned and the places we visited and stayed were memorable. The food was delicious and we have absolutely no complaints at all. We just have praise, praise, praise for such a remarkable experience. We were treated like royalty from the moment we stepped out of the airport. The skilled drivers always kept us safe and provided water for us daily. They even took us shopping, since we had trouble with our luggage, which was not at all any fault of this tour company. In fact, they went out of their way to keep checking the airport to see if our luggage ever arrived late. This tour company is so concerned about every detail and they make our journey so personal and private. We picked the dates and the length of time we wanted to spend in each country and they planned the rest. When you read the words....You dream it, They plan it, and You live it....that is the absolute truth. We cannot say enough about this vacation, but we know we will remember it, all the animals we saw, and the fantastic people we met for the rest of our lives. God bless all of you and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. You all made our 50th anniversary the Best Ever!

A travel company that listens and delivers
We started planning in mid-2019 for a safari in 2020. After talking to a few companies we settled on Safari Online primarily because Sabrina was happy to have a dialogue with us, listen to our ideas and make suggestions. There was no hard sell and she was happy to go to and fro checking availability, prices etc with different lodges. Eventually we settled on a trip visiting Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. Due to covid the trip had to be postponed, initially to 2021 and finally to 2022. In mid-2021 every country seemed to have it's own set of covid rules and we decided that it might make sense to simplify the trip to one country - Botswana. Not a problem, more time spent finding the right lodges for us and, once again, no pressure. To our surprise and delight, Safari Online's relationship with their suppliers was such that none of the cancelled lodges retained any of the deposits paid.
The trip finally went ahead last month and really lived up to our expecations. A great safari, organised by a great company. I would certainly recommend them and use them again. And a special thank you to Sabrina for her patience and expertise.

2-day safari game drive nyerere national park Selous
Our safari was absolutely amazing! We were on our own in the car with a guide and a driver (who was a mechanic as well). He tried to find all the animals we wanted to see and did his best to make us happy. They were always punctual and polite. He always stopped the car whenever we wanted to stay a little longer or to take a picture. They had a lot of cold water stored for us so we all stayed hydrated. The guide could answer all of our animal questions and told us everything we needed to know about the different animals too. The communication to the other guides was very good. They always stayed in touch to make sure everyone could see the rare animals. In that way he also got to know in which area the animal we wanted to see has been seen last. We highly recommend Uwanda tours and would always book again!

Best Local Tour Agency
They totally exceeded our expectation! We had a private safari which included a private safari gude for the entire safari, incredible food (gained 1.5 kg after safari), and very comfortable hotels. They know what they are doing! We saw everything and enjoyed! Asante sana!

Unreal and beautifully designes experience!
Loved the experience with Suricata! They assisted me with figuring out which safari was best for me (when I had little understanding of the area or exactly what I was looking for) and set me up with the perfect safari last minute. The time inside the parks was phenomenal and the guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic. The food was also incredible and the chef was friendly and even helped teach us how to cook some! The campsites were also unreal (definitely recommend staying inside the parks). Suricata and staff were truly helpful in every way and attentive to ensuring the best experience for their customers in every situation. Lewis and Saleem were incredible for the three days. Would definitely recommend them to a friend!
