Excellent safari
Our safari was excellent. Although the weather condition was not good because it was the raining season. Our guide was the best, he was a very knowledgeable and nice. He has eagle eye to spot animals in the rain! And our car never got stuck in the muddy Masai Mara! All hotels were luxury options, and quotation was good also. Thanks to Sino Africa Safari for trying their best to give us the best safari ever!

Spectacular experience and customer service.
From organizing airport transfers in Nairobi, Kenya, Olga has been lovely when we landed to arranging for my Mrs and I yellow fever vaccination. Our safari package consisted of three nights in Maasai Mara, two nights in Ngorongoro, and two nights in Zanzibar. Our driver Dan was so knowledgeable of the variety of animal species. We were able to see three out of the big five (Elephant, Lion, and Leopard) in Maasai Mara. Our transfer from Arusha airport to Zanzibar was so seamless. My Mrs and I enjoyed every moment of our vacation, and hopefully, we will be back. I highly recommend Olga and the team for their excellent professional support.

Great experience and very helpful people
We went for 5 days tour in Katavi National Park. Basic accomodation was good enough with private like service. We had the luck to see a lot of animals, the park offers very different scenery, always beautiful. We particularly appreciate to be almost alone in the park.
Organisation of the safari was very smooth, we have to thank Elen for her kindness and her effort to help in the organisation, not only for the safari but also for the transfort to and from the park, it was very helpful!

Great Safari organisation and beyond
Patrick form Mimlo Tour was both extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to tailor the Safari to our specific requirements, adding a Blythe Canyon excursion and Garden Route Discovery on our way from Jo Burg to Kruger, as well as arrange our flights out to port Elizabeth when we left to pursue our trip on the Coast.
The teams he works with are professional , super pleasant and were absolutely tip top !
The Lodge itself ( Lukimbi ) was the perfect mix of luxury and adventure. Lovely hosts, Fabulous guide and tracker, great food and lovely wine cellar ( we were there before prohibition

Excellent experience with a great Tour Guide!
We took part on a 3-day Safari package booked quite a long time ago, and rescheduled due to the COVID situation. We finally had a chance to travel to Zanzibar this January with no hassles at all. No masks, nothing really, back to normal life as we remebered it some 10 months ago. What a relief after being locked in and having to wear masks in grey and dreary Europe. (Hungary in particular.)
So, after having spent 3-4 days in friendly and authentic Stone Town, Zanzibar, some nice guys from the agency drove us to the airport for a comfortable domestic flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, Tanzania mainland. There we were greeted by our Tour Guide, Melky Urioh, a really wonderful guy with good English and a flawless knowledge of everything related to Safari & Wildlife. Our 3-day tour kicked off in atmospheric Terengire National Park (loads of Elephants), then retreated to our Lodge (very good one for that matter). The next day we continued to the breathtaking Ngorongoro National Park, which is basically a great big volcanic crater, with breathtaking views and all wild animals on offer (Elephants, Lions, Zebras, Giraffes, and yes, even a Rhino family). Our last day of the tour included friendly and bushy Manyara Lake National Park (Elephants, Giraffes, Lions on trees, Water buffalos and a whole lot of monkeys, mainly Baboons) and a Masai Village which was also okay. All with the accomodating, polite and knowledgeable guidance of Melky (who buy the way also speaks German). It was the three of us (Mother, Father, 11-year old boy) in the comfortable Land Cruiser all the way, so we had all the privacy you can ask for, for a rather decent price.
Bottom line: great price/value, we received everything we anticipated and more. 5 stars.

Lifetime experience
We had a best safari ever! Thank you Octavian and entire team of Incredible Africa Adventures!
We saw a lot of animals including all the big 5. A lot of people said that we should go with a company that will fly us and explain everything in our on language, but we believe the fact that we went with a local company made everything better.
The food was excellent, the tents were amazing and the knowledge of the guide was awesome!! Thank you Incredible Africa Adventures for the experience we will never ever forget!

Outstanding company!!
I recommend Incredible Africa Adventures for your tour in Tanzania, Octavian was always replying fast and very flexible on every question we asked. The price was very good, reasonable beyond our expectations and the lodges we stayed in were simply awesome. Food was excellent in each lodge. Our guide Joseph, with huge knowledge and experience knew everything we asked about the animals, birds, trees and was always making sure we were having a great time. It was really a life time experience.

Outstanding safari and service
My wife and I would like to express our extreme gratitude for what was an amazing 3-day Safari. Our very professional driver, Jackson, took such pride in delivering 100% customer satisfaction in all areas. His punctuality, companionship and appearance always relied on, continually ensuring our comfort was foremost at all times. His knowledge of the wildlife, exquisite birds and creatures (not forgetting the chameleon) had no bounds. We joked with him that we reckon his eyesight exceeded 20-20 vision, as he could pinpoint the smallest of creatures and the most camouflaged animals at distance, whilst still driving, where it was we needed to become stationary before we could see them. He was constantly on the ball in tracking our prey, by footprints or other distinguishing signs, to find them with utmost patience and persistence. We believe it was Jackson's desire, knowledge, experience that lead us to see over the 3-day safari, never missing an opportunity, not only the more commonly seen herd of Elephants, Giraffes Buffalos, Zebras, Impalas, Ostriches and many more amazing wildlife, but more-so (never guaranteed) rare sightings of two prides of Lion, Leopards, Cheetah, Fox cubs and the Lesser Kudu. All of which are captured as photos for us to lovingly visit from time to time for some amazing memories. David & Lilliana x

Best holiday ever!
I did the 8 day safari with Tazama, guided by Henry for two days and Anthony for the remainder. It was the best trip ever! Kenya is a beautiful country.
The trip was really well curated. After pick up, we set off for Samburu, central Kenya, and we worked our way towards the Masai Mara, stopping at Ol Pejeta and Lake Nakuru on the way. Each destination was unique and had something new to offer. I cannot convey how rich and varied the wildlife of Kenya is and the itinerary gave me an excellent opportunity to sample this with great success!
Ensuring you have an excellent guide is essential and my advice would be to trust them - Anthony and Henry know their stuff and were able to tap into their network of other guides to help you spot animals. If they suggest a 6am departure time, go for it and you’ll be the envy of the camp! We saw 10 cheetahs in the Masai Mara on one day when other groups saw none and similarly with a majestic leopard at dawn in Samburu. Their spotting skills and animal knowledge were fantastic and all my questions were answered. It’s worth noting that Anthony considers proximity to animals when suggesting accommodation.
The big 5 are a major draw and I was lucky to tick them all off but there’s so much more to safari! I also saw majestic ostriches, Masai and Somali, Grevis zebras and common zebras, large towers of giraffes, honking hippos, packs of lions feasting and the list goes on. Kenya’s birds were a big and very pleasant surprise. Vultures, secretary birds, crested cranes, eagles, hawks etc were fantastic to see in their natural habitats.
The accommodation and food were fab - absolutely no complaints. I was super comfortable and extremely well fed with delicious food throughout. My favourite though was BaseCamp Masai Mara which is right by the Talek river. I was lucky to be upgraded to the tent Obama stayed in as a senator but regardless, I have amazing memories of lying in bed listening to hyenas howl and lions roar in the night. The camp is kept secure by super friendly and helpful Masai people who also escort you around the camp after nightfall. In the evening, the camp was lit with oil lamps which was very very atmospheric. I felt so relaxed and peaceful there.
Tazama Africa are extremely professional and not pushy. Their aim is to help you have the best safari experience you can have. My last tip would be get a Land Cruiser if you can afford it. The terrain in the Masai Mara can be a little muddy and you might get stuck...

Amazing safari
I traveled to Kenya with some friends on very short notice and King Tomondo Safaris was able to set us up with a 3-day program that suited us with only 2 days notice. Their communication was fantastic, they gave so much information ahead of time (even with recommendations outside of the safari for staying in Kenya) and they were always quick to respond and help. Our guide Daniel was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and fun to drive around with for 3 days. We absolutely loved the game drives, the tent camps, the land cruiser....everything was perfect, organised, convenient, exciting - we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.
