A beautiful country with complexities that you can feel. Very organized for tourism
My tour operator was Mzansi Experience. Not expensive and really very good. The parks are wonderful and full of animals, it is a very varied landscape. Tourists are welcomed with kindness and attention everywhere. Unfortunately I can't say I've lived the cities, because are described as dangerous, and in hotels they don't recommend walking - even during the day - so I didn't visit either the center of Cape Town or Johannesburg

The charm of Africa still virgin
My 6 days in Uganda followed by Kaje Safaris. In a short time, but full of strong emotions, I had a beautiful image of Uganda, thanks above all to the experience and professionalism of Kajie through my guide (now friend) Colly. From mountain gorillas, to the safari in Queen Elizabeth Park, up to the pursuit of chimpanzees and, finally, a river excursion which completed the observation of the big five. I was lucky enough, thanks to the experience of the guide, to see 4 big ones in a single day. Lions, hippos, African elephants (the largest in the world) and the very rare leopard. In addition to the fauna and the fabulous landscapes, I cannot help but say that the friendliness of the people and their gratitude touched my heart and I am already thinking of returning to Uganda as soon as possible.
To conclude, I would like to recommend Kajie Safaris for their professionalism, seriousness and preparation. They make sure you don't lack anything and satisfy every request. I couldn't have chosen better.

Quick to answer, quality of service to accommodate, incredible experience for a solo traveller.
The 5 days trip in Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire was breathtaking. This was mostly thanks to the skilled driving of Jacobo and the amazing local food prepared by Salimu. We managed to see from up close many animals, way more than we expected including cheetahs, lions, buffalos, elephants and their respective cubs. We were told we were lucky to encounter some of them, even more multiple times. My take is that the mix of the skilled driving, knowledge of the quicker ways to go around and Jacobo network to have the news and sighting before any radio announcement made it possible.
I also took the opportunity to go for a one day trip to Materuni falls and experience homemade coffee making on the coffee tour with Fidelis. He was very helpful on any question I asked since he is originally from a city not far from the falls location. We even interacted in French on top of the usual English.
Big props to Meruslopes and Geofrey for their constant quick availability on any organizational topic ! If you want to have a real adventure experience, I cannot recommend better than them.

Wonderful Journey with Full Package Adventures(Asante Sana)
We were able to have an absolutely amazing experience thanks to Full Package Adventures! Everything about the trip was carefully planned. When we got to the first lodging, Max, our guide, was waiting for us. He gave us a hearty welcome and went over the whole safari package with us. With his many years of experience, he gave us in-depth knowledge about Tanzania's environment, wildlife, people, and culture. We were drawn in by his obvious enthusiasm for his work, which was evident in every facet. Max never ceased to amaze us with his ability to make wise decisions when it came to the game drives. As a result of his choices, we not only saw the entire 'Big Five,' but also elephants, cheetahs, and leopards strolling next to our vehicle.
Together with his wealth of knowledge, he is also incredibly kind and helpful, which makes us feel safe and at ease while traveling in the car with him. We were quite pleased with the accommodations and the arrangement of all the attractions, so we would suggest this to anyone considering a similar trip. Ask to have this guide if you have the opportunity. Everything about Tanzania will be missed, including the uneven roads in the Serengeti;) Thank you so much, Full Package Adventures and especially Max (Asante sana).

Very friendly and professional
I picked this company after reading lots of reviews since it was my first time to Africa/tanzana. The price I got through them was more affordable than other companies probably because I joined a group tour. The other people on the Safari quickly felt like friends. I did the midrange option and I was so glad I did. I’m outdoorsy but the comfort of the tented lodge over the basic tent was so nice after full days of looking at animals from the vehicle. I saw sooo many animals throughout the 5 day safari it was amazing! Good food and friendly staff. I really loved the new suricata boma lodge. It was so beautiful to watch the sunset over the pool! Definitely ask about staying there! Max was our guide and he was very nice and did a great job of spotting the animals and telling us about them. We had some minor car issues but they were always quick to make sure the trip was flowing on. I also added the ballon Safari and it was a once in a life time experience!!

Highly highly highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro!! (Especially guides Frank, Sole, and Muntari)
Cannot say enough good things about Almighty Kilimanjaro!! I went in Jan of 24 with my sister and some friends and our expectations were blown out of the water! Our guides Frankie, Sole, and Muntari were SO amazing! I would highly highly recommend them as guides to anyone that I know is hiking Kilimanjaro. They were funny, nice, supportive, answered all our questions and made sure that everyone was feeling well mentally, emotionally, physically, and medically! They were so inclusive and helped us gain moral when we were down at points. Even on summit night all the porters carried our bags and sang to us allll the way up. It was incredible, I bet they sang for 3 hours straight. It helped so much to help keep our mind off of what we were doing! Even one of the porters was putting my hands into his jacket to keep them warm while we were hiking! He routinely came over to make sure that my hands were warm enough and that I was doing okay. These people are truly amazing and I don’t think we could’ve made it to the top without them!
I’m so glad we took the 8 day lemosho route as well. Hiking kili was my first real hiking experience (bad idea I know) but the 8 day route gave us enough time to acclimate and shorter days of hiking in order to keep spirits up! Everyone in our group did experience some pretty severe altitude sickness in spite of this but all the guides were so helpful on giving us advice on what medicines to take/ what to do in order to make us feel better. They let us sleep in when needed, we took breaks when needed, and they would tell us stories to keep us occupied during the difficult hikes. They seriously were so amazing!!
One more piece of advice, please please please rent a private toilet. These were a legit LIFESAVER on our trip. Especially since some of the main symptoms of altitude sickness is GI problems and vomitting. I seriously don’t even want to imagine what that hike would’ve been like without the private toilets- best $50 I’ve ever spent!!

Awesome tour company!!!
My journey through Tanzania with Face of Africa Adventures was nothing short of extraordinary. Their impeccable service, unmatched value for money, and expert tour guides made every moment unforgettable. From the comfortable jeeps to the delicious meals, every detail was carefully curated for an exceptional experience. Exploring the wonders of Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater was a true highlight, with each location offering its own unique beauty and wildlife sightings. I wholeheartedly recommend Face of Africa Adventures to anyone seeking the trip of a lifetime – you won't find a better way to experience the magic of Tanzania. All the best.
