An Incredible Safari Experience
We had an incredible safari experience with Mahaba Tours & Safaris and can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the trip was smoothly organized by Socrates, who was extremely helpful, responsive, and made the whole process easy and completely stress-free.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, our safari driver Isaya was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly very passionate about wildlife and his country. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience throughout the safari.
Overall, it was truly an unforgettable trip and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Everything was very well organized and we felt well looked after from start to finish. I would highly recommend Mahaba Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience.

Amazing 3-Day Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari
I did the 3-day Taste Affordable Serengeti & Ngorongoro Lodge Safari as a solo traveler and honestly it was an amazing experience. Everything was really well organized and I felt very safe the whole time.
I had a really nice group which made the trip even more fun, especially because we could all share the excitement of spotting animals together. The lodges were also much nicer than I expected for an “affordable” safari — comfortable rooms, good food and beautiful surroundings.
The game drives in Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater were incredible. We saw so many animals and thanks to our guide Adrian we even managed to see the Big Five. He clearly has a lot of experience and really did his best to find the animals and give us the best views.
Overall I would definitely recommend this safari, especially if you’re traveling solo and looking for a safe, well organized and affordable way to see the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Big thanks again for making it such a great experience! 🦁

More Than a Safari – Arnold Makes the Difference
We consciously chose Major Treks and Safaris to support a local provider. From the very first message, Arnold, who runs the organization, impressed us with his professionalism, personal attention, and very friendly communication. Payment through a secure link went smoothly, immediately giving us confidence and trust in the whole process.
Every detail of our three-day private safari was perfectly arranged: hotel pick-up, reliable flights from Zanzibar, comfortable lodges, excellent food, and a fantastic guide, Ahadi, who made every wildlife encounter memorable. Cold drinks were always available in the vehicle, adding extra comfort and enjoyment.
What truly stood out was Arnold’s personal care. He checked in during the safari to see if we had any requests, a thoughtful and meaningful gesture that made us feel genuinely looked after. Even after the last day, he followed up to make sure everything had met our expectations, showing that his attention and dedication to his guests does not end when the experience ends. It is rare to see someone put so much thought into every aspect of a safari experience.
Arnold’s attentiveness, friendliness, and genuine care made this trip unforgettable. This safari will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
Thank you, Arnold, for making this safari such a memorable experience.

Excellent
The safari was very well organised from the start to the end. The guide (Jackson) was extremely knowledgeable about all the flora and founa in each park, he was friendly and professional, and we always felt safe with him around (I travelled solo with my young daughter). We were able to see all animals multiple times. The lodges were very nice, from luxurious tents to more wild , providing a real sense of "living in full nature". I would highly suggest anybody to do a safari with Lion King.

Very good
Our driver Rudzani was excellent . He has always been very nice and very helpful. The driver of the safari,Muzy,was also excellent and did everything he could to look for the animals of the safari and to explain interesting things about them. The room was nice and clean. The picnic breakfast was of very poor quality. And the food at the restaurant needs improvement as well..

Professional and reliable
Johan Buys from Safari Life organised a 4 day Safari for myself and a friend at Dumela Camp, just outside the Kruger Park. From the booking process, to the pick up in Jhb, the camp, the safari excursions, the entire experience was handled with professionalism and care. I would highly recommend this value for money trip.

An amazing experience with an extra touch!
The tour went right as it was planned. The operator was always available for questions, both prior to the safari and even during the trip. The lodge was amazing and the service at the tented lodge was impeccable and engaged. But the one thing that made this safari a once-in a lifetime experience was our ranger Ruben. He had great knowledge about the country and the wildlife and a lot of experience, which came at hand when a thunderstorm was coming up. Moreover he was kind and had a great network which made him find a lot of animals that otherwise are hard to see. He was an amazing guide and made such a big difference. We will definitely recommend Jambo Masai Tours to our family and friends!

Organized, friendly, knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy... the best!
My husband and I worked with Raymond African Safaris for our very belated honeymoon. This was our first trip to Africa and everything about our experience was INCREDIBLE! We booked a 7-night trip starting in Arusha with time in Tarangire, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Crater before a road transfer to Nairobi (and teary goodbyes). A few notes:
- While no guide can control the wildlife, we were fortunate enough to see the big five plus all sorts of other animals, plants/trees, etc. We were learning the whole time and grateful for a private experience that allowed us to move at our own pace (i.e., sit and wait for an hour+ to see if the leopard would get out of the tree).
- Every camp we stayed at was unique, comfortable, clean, and staffed by the kindest humans. We felt very taken care of by attentive camp teams.
- We were beyond well fed the whole time. Most days we would have an early breakfast at camp, lunch somewhere on the road/in the bush, and dinner back at a camp. I was amazed the first lunch when instead of classic sandwiches, our guide laid out a tablecloth, unpacked 5+ containers of REAL food (chicken, potatoes, noodles, veggies, etc.), set the table with real plating/cutlery, etc. There was no skimping on experience and were glad for a variety of food.
- More than anything though, we had the most amazing experience with our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, conversational. He kept us safe on muddy/bumpy drives, ensured that we were comfortable, and - by the end of the trip - we probably would have gone anywhere/tried anything had he told us to.
If you are thinking about booking this trip, do it and trust Raymond African Safaris to take care of you the whole time. We can't wait to return.

Greg made our trip a 10/10
We had a very nice experience with Dalili, we had the best driver ever! Greg and his party van. We booked a 2 day safari in Ol Pejeta and 3 day Mount Kenya hike which was wonderful. Everything was taken care of and ran smoothly. The safari with Greg was awesome, we had such a good day and saw the big 5 all in one day! Also a lot of nice conversations and laughs. Would definitely recommend traveling with Dalili, and specifically with Greg!
