Experienced
I had Moses as my operator for the first part of a five day safari (Maasai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru). Moses is outgoing, friendly, knows everything about the animals, but most importantly he is clearly an experienced driver. Even when several safari trucks would be crowded around an animal, he was an expert at navigating the truck to get us a good viewing spot. He was also very patient - if you wanted to stay a moment longer viewing an animal or stop to take a photo of the smallest bird or lizard, he was always willing to wait for us. I felt very safe driving with him despite the bumpy roads in Maasai Mara, and we saw all 5 of the Big Five in Maasai Mara with Moses, so he will probably bring you good luck on your safari!

Great Safari with African Traces!!
We contact Marko Mtui from African Traces about a month and a half before our trip to Tanzania in order to book ourself a safari trip. Marko was very communicative and answered all our questions and wonderings.
We checked a few Safari operators in Tanzania and decided to go with African Traces (which had the best "value for money" proposal and a lot of great reviews), and we couldn't choose better!
From the moment we land in the Kilimanjaro airport Marko and his team helped us in everything we needed - took us to ATM whenever we needed, helped us get ourselves a local Sim, arrange great day trips and book us the accommodation in Moshi (in a lower price than we saw online).
We went on a 6 days safari trip which was tailored made to our preferences and the sighting we wish to see (and we saw!!). The Safari was an amazing experience and meet all our expectations and more.
All 6 days were well organized and everything worked according to the plan we had, we got to visit 4 national parks and saw a wide variety of animals.
the accommodations were great and were chosen to meet our budget, the vehicle was in great shape, spacious and well equipment.
While we were in the Safari Marko kept in touch with us and made sure everything is ok.
Daniel, our guide, was very knowledgeable and we were constantly amazed by the amount of knowledge he has about the wildlife.
Daniel is great with spotting wildlife and forecasting the scenario, which lead us to view some amazing sightings. We were very pleased to have him as our guide, and he was constantly interested in what we would like to see and accommodate the Game Drive accordingly.
We were also lucky to see the great migration while the herds of wildebeest crossed the Mara river (more than once!!) and it was a lot thanks to Daniel's patience and familiarity of the place.
I highly recommend using African Traces as your Safari operator.
You won't regret it!

Organized
I had Dixton as a driver for the final segment of a 5 day safari (the Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate). He was fantastic! He is clearly organized and good at managing ever-evolving logistics. I felt like I was in good hands for this segement of the safari - he was very friendly, had all the answers to our questions about Kenya, the wildlife, etc. He was always willing to make a quick stop to pick up more water and was a safe driver. Anyone who has Dixton as their driver can be assured they will have a comfortable and fun experience. I would be happy to have Dixton as my driver again.

Best Company
We spent 4 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I have to admit we might have been a bit lucky, but we literally saw everything just within the first day -> 3 lionesses killing a buffalo, crocodiles eating a dead hippo, pride of lions with 7 cubs walking a playing right next to our car and so much more... Really amazing experience made even better by our knowledgeable guide Charles. Highly recommended.

Amazing!
First of all Exaud is the nicest person! He made sure that we had the best experience ever and his expertise and knowledge is astonishing. Even our wifes were amazed and looking forward to go back.
I've done at least 12 safaris in Tanzânia and I wouldn't even consider going with anyone else but Exaud and TX Safari and Adventures.

Amazing from start to finish!
My friend and I booked on a 9 day driving safari from Arusha to Serengeti. We were greeted at our starting point by our driver Eddie who straight away made us feel at ease and quickly understood our personality’s and what our main interests were for the trip. From then we went straight on a game drive and it absolutely amazing! We saw so many animals and couldn’t believe how lucky we’d been on just day 1!
Going forward the trip just seemed to get better and better each day. We experienced and saw so many amazing things and learnt so much from our amazing driver Eddie. He really went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible time and even sat and ate with us most evenings which we really enjoyed and created a great friendship with a great person!
The activities included (such as the waterfall walk in lake natron) was absolutely incredible. Again we met some great local people (Jon in particular) who accompanied us to the waterfalls and we’re blown away with his friendly ness and attentiveness, and of course the views!!
All the accommodations were great with plenty of space and comfy beds! Each place we visited we found everyone to be so friendly and helpful.
Thank you guys for making this the best trip of a lifetime we would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to explore this amazing country and see some totally amazing wildlife!

Great organization of safari
This company organized us a four-day tour of the national parks of Tarangira, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. Everything went very well, there were no problems during the safari. The guide was friendly and tried to find as many animals as possible for us, the hotel and camping were a high level, we were met at the airport, and after Safari we were returned to it. We were lucky to see many animals, some very close, including elephants, lions, cheetahs. I can safely recommend.
