Upsetting: 5 different guides and groups during our 10 day safari
My partner and I did a 10 day safari booked through Pride of Africa Adventures and Safaris in June 2022. It has taken some time to leave our review as we were pressured by the staff at this company not to leave any negative feedback for them. I would like to share my experience, as I would hate for someone else to have a dream safari trip to include as much stress and tears as ours did. My partner and I were so excited to go on our safari, it was a dream for both of us as we are passionate about wildlife. However, once we arrived in Nairobi we realised this trip was not what we expected. We were passed between different companies, and over the 10 days we were with 5 different tour guides and groups of travellers. We were not told that this would happen, we were only expecting two guides one in Kenya and the other in Tanzania. It caused a lot of stress and upset throughout our trip as we were left not knowing where or who we would be meeting next, and we were sad to leave our fellow travellers who we'd met. One of these groups included a tour of two cars with 14 students, when our booking ensured we would be only in a group of 8 people maximum. This part of our trip was in the Serengeti and due to the large group everything was delayed and we did not get to experience the Serengeti as we hoped due to the wasted time trying to organised the students who were not that interested in the safari as they had come to Africa to study micro finance on a gap year. Although some of our guides were great and put a huge amount of effort into their job, others did not put the same effort which was upsetting. The wildlife was incredible and we hope to return to Africa and have a much more positive memory. We will not be booking again with Pride of Africa Adventures and Safaris and would not be able to recommend them

AMAZING
I highly recommend Travel Africa Safari Agency. We had made our reservation with them following the recommendation of a friend who had already gone through them and it was even better than we expected.
The Safari pack 3 days 2 nights at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater is perfect in terms of duration to enjoy the stay and all the diversity of the local fauna and flora.
We saw the "Big Five" several times.
Our guide Florian did everything possible to allow us to see the animals as close as possible while respecting local rules. He had a perfect knowledge of parks and gave us all the information about fauna and flora.
Special mention for our chef AbduAllah, who was able to delight us with every meal. The menu was varied, delicious and made it possible to satisfy all diets.
We were amazed at each meal by all the preparations, fresh bread, soft cake ect We did not expect so much given the conditions of a Safari in tent.
The manager, Mohamed, answered all our logistical questions before and during the stay very quickly, and knew how to satisfy all our requests.
Also concerning the camps where we spent the night, the sanitary were regularly cleaned what is very pleasant.
In short this stay was beyond our expectations and the rate is quite correct in view of the services provided.
We can highly recommend Travel Africa Safari Agency.

Kathi was responsive and prompt replying all my queries.
Overall they are prompt to us and program was indeed very detailed and all the operators are very punctual at all time. We have no worries during our stay in the entire trip.
We highly recommend African Welcome Safaris if you are planning to go to South Africa.

My safari experience in Tanzania was absolutely breathtaking
Serengeti Green Tanzania went above and beyond to accommodate my budget constraints and make my dream of visiting Tanzania a reality. Despite having limited funds for the trip, my family and I had an incredible time on the tour. In fact, we were so impressed with the guides' exceptional service and professionalism that we felt compelled to provide them with an additional gratuity, even if it meant dipping into our remaining bank account. The personnel's presentation, appearance standards, and moral integrity were truly commendable. As a result, my friends and I have already started planning our next safari in Tanzania for next year. I genuinely appreciate Serengeti Green Tanzania for considering and respecting my financial goals throughout the entire experience

Unforgettable memories
Three Days Experience Safari
Very well organised tour. We were met up at the AirPort and staff member drove us back to th,e AirPort the morning after safari tour.
Knowledgeable guide and at the same time a good driver. Chef did good meals for us.
Ngorongoro was the highlight with spectacular views and wildlife, even though the whole tour was great. We saw lots of animals, birds and amazing landscapes. Guide also brought us to a Maasai village along the safari to witness their culture including the Maasai dance which was very interesting.

Amazing
a dream come true! I researched some local agencies to do a safari in Tanzania and based on comments from other customers, I opted for Meru slopes. the contact made via whatsapp, quickly and clearly with Geoffrey, I always ask to clarify doubts. I signed a package with the option of a lodge in the serengeti park, the whole experience was exceptional, from the reception on arrival and on the last day! transfer to and from the airport was offered. the very comfortable accommodations and very experienced guide provided an unforgettable experience

UNREAL/AMAZING experience
Just finished a 3 day safari through Tarangire National park, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara with Lion King Adventures and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Our guides Richard and Miwata were absolutely amazing. They were so knowledgeable when it came to the birds, trees, grass, people, animals, etc etc the list goes on a on! We saw 4/5 of the big 5! When you book with Lion King Adventures, request them!! The safari car was clean and well kept and always stocked with what we needed and was very comfortable. I could not recommend Lion King adventures enough! Our group will return to Africa again and we will be requesting them as our guides!!

Incredible week filled with game drives and immersive cultural experiences!!
We had an incredible 7 day safari with Zohar safaris!! Our week was filled with game drives and immersive cultural experiences with multiple tribes! Our guide, Daniel, was one of a kind and could spot animals from a mile away! We saw everything that we wanted to see and more! The lodging was clean and comfortable! Thank you, Zohar, for a trip of a lifetime!!
