Amazing time in Tanzania!!!
I am writing my recent break journey to Tanzania. I had amazing and awesome time in Tanzania. Oh my God. I wish i could stay there in Tanzania more because the treatment I had was no more than a chief guest in a huge function. Thanks to Kilimanjaro Economy Safari for organizing my trip, everything was so perfect. I got unforgettable memory in my life concerned Tanzania because Tanzania people a so lovely and they do real care about people, love and nature. Good enough i learned a little bit Swahili language and Tanzanian culture. We went 5 days mt. Kilimanjaro climbing and trekking marangu route and 8 days safari ( lake manyara, Ngorongoro plus Zanzibar). We got a time to see among BIG 5 animals. Happy that we found Kilimanjaro Economy Safaris, who treated us life families. Highly recommended to all travelers to organizing safaris and trekking with mori tours and Safaris

Roadside Tanzania helped us make the safari a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
A safari had been on our wish list for many years. Roadside Tanzania helped us make it a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
Paul was great in explaining details of the options and was very flexible in adapting the itinerary to include what we wanted to see within the days available.
Once we arrived in Tanzania we were welcomed by our guide Justin & guide-in-training Arnold. They took care of us from start till end as if we were family and the best of friends.
Arnold seemed more than ready to lead safaris on his own already!
Justin amazed us with his thorough knowledge of Tanzania, the parks and the animals; his eye to spot animals; his constant efforts to ensure we saw as many animals as possible; his patience even with the never ending questions from our 7 year old - even joining in her dance routines.
Justin, Paul, Arnold - Ahsante for making this such a beautiful trip.

Great times, great places, great sights, great people
Words are insufficient to describe the trip. My wife and I had a great time. We went to Tarangiri, Central and North Serengeti, Ngorogoro, and Lake Manyara. We saw everything we were hoping to see and more. We saw the wildebeest migrating across the Mara River, cats hunting prey, zebras fighting, gazelles running for their life, hyenas breaking down the carcass of a wildebeest and an elephant, the most beautiful sunsets, and a Massai village.
I would say the Central Serengeti is the absolute best place. Going in the dry season was spectacular and the game drives were a great adventure. Seeing a cheetah hunt was the highlight of the trip. The lion hunts were also incredible.
If you are uncertain about the tents in the Serengeti, they are wonderful. All of our accomodations were great with the tents in the Serengeti and Sarena's in Ngorogoro being our personal favorite.
Our guide, Immanuel Chamboa, was perfect. He is a bastion of knowledge, an expert driver on the rough roads, was courteous and polite, and always brought a positive attitude and ready laugh. He would review the next day and ask what we wanted to make sure our trip went as we wanted. I would recommend him to anyone going through on a safari in Tanzania. Plus, he can help teach fine Swahili to you.
If you are on the fence, jump off and have an adventure. The food is good, the accommodations welcoming, and the animals and sights second to none. This is my first safari but it won't be my last.

Super safari holiday, Mara triangle pays attention to detail
Mara Triangles organised an excellent trip for us. Lucy was exceptionally responsive to our requests and always polite courteous, honest and informative. Lucy did her best to make everything as easy as possible for us. The lodges we stayed in were very comfortable and special shout out to our drivers - Bony and Kingo who were knowledgeable, friendly and lots of fun! They were accommodating to our needs. WE had a brilliant time and saw many many animals.

Great safari, perfect organization
We had a great 6 days safari tour. It was very well organised by Arunga expedition.
Thomas, our guide, was amazing. He spotted for us the big five and we had many opportunities to get very close too the wildlife. We strongly recommend Thomas.
Our 6 days safari took us across four of the national park near Arusha in the north-east of the country: Lake Manyara, the famous Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
We decided to go for a safari with a small group (4 tourists) and with tent lodging. It was an incredible adventure. Sleeping in tent may not be the most comfortable option but gives an incredible proximity with the animals. At night we were surrounded by noises, we could hear the zebras and hyenas close to camp.

8 days Kenya Safari with friends
We, a group of 12 friends and families, just finished our amazing 8 day Kenya safari trip with the Explorer Kenya. It has totally changed our view of the East Africa, beyond any words that we can use to describe its beauty. Out in the wild Masai Mara, in addition to countless wildebeests and zebras, we saw lions, mom cheetah with her four babies, tree top resting leopard, buffaloes, hippos, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, gazelles, impalas, and many many more. Not to mention black and white rhinos in Oplejeta conservancy, and millions of flamingos in Lake Bogoria. All of these were made possible because of our wonderful guides Jonathan and James. They are very professional and knowledgeable, with a combined over 35 years of experience, there is no animals here they do not know! They are always multitasking - listening to their radios for possible nearby animals and answering our questions. As soon as they heard an animal whereabouts that we haven’t seen, they speeded up our vehicles to take us to the place right on time. When we were unsure, Jonathan would tell us to be patient so we didn’t have to miss what we came here to see such as zebras crossing. Not only can Jonathan spot on animals that we need to use binoculars to see, he is also a great photographer - he taught us how to get the best photos.
We are so lucky to have Jonathan and James as our guides and would like to recommend them to anyone who wants to come to Kenya, to see its beauty in you own eyes !!

Explore Kenya
Our 12 people group were on Kenya Safari trip on 8/15-24, 2022, guided by Jonathan and James. They were nice, experienced and fun. Their professional training and sound expertise in guiding and driving have ensured an adventurous and safe Safari experience.
On the second day of the trip, we’ve already seen four of the big fives, lions , buffaloes , rhinos, elephants. They always know when and where to take us for the best angle and spot to observe the actions; they were very knowledgeable and explain all the natures , animals and plants, and answered all our questions. With their experience and patience we are able to see all big fives and so many more, beyond our expectations. Their game drives not only led us see the nature and animals, but also gain the knowledge, ex., the antelope family includes eland , kudu, topi, waterbuck, impala, gazelle and more ! We have taken so many breathtaking game photos, videos, and group pictures

Good
I love the fact that the tour operator picked me up from the airport for no extra charge and worked with me in regards payment options.
The safari went mostly smooth. Even though we got a flat tire and a sick person in the group they managed to work it out. Anything can happen on a safari so be prepared. We had some unforeseen circumstances. But I loved the safari experience saw lots of wildlife and I would recommend to do this safari with this company as I think the price is cheaper than some other places.

Amazing Safari experience
We, 2 adults (49y and 43y) and 2 children (12y and 9y) had a great time during the 4 days Safari: Tsavo West, Mzima Springs, Amboseli and Tsavo East.
Mahmud is an excellent and prudent driver, he really drives carefully in the highway and also during the safari. He is always looking for the best places to see the animals, where to park with the van for you to take the best photos. He is always exchanging information with the other drivers, so he gets to know where to find the animals. With his help we were able to see all the big 5 and many other animals.
High point was to see the lions in Tsavo East and Amboseli, the cheetah in Tsavo East, the rhino and leopard in Tsavo West as well the hippos in Mzima springs. Elephants, Zebras, Buffalos, Wild beasts, Giraffes, Warthogs, and many others.
All the lodges were good. Accommodation and food was great. Even when arriving a bit late there was always food available for us. You really get value for the money paid.
