Great experience - simple logistics - highly recommended
We had a great experience with Albatros. We flew into Nairobi and spent 3 nights there before being transferred to the Mara. Albatros also assisted our transfer to and from Diani. Throughout that time, Otieno and Ken made sure our travel logistics were seamless. We Highly recommend Albatros Travel!

Fantastic experience
Monkey Adventures allows you to customize your trip - both the duration and the accommodations. This way you only pay for what you want. They provide links to the different hotels so you can easily chose among them. John, our trip planner, was great with arrangements and changes and responded promptly by email answering all questions, no matter how minor. He also provided links to easily gets visas, etc.
Our guide/driver, Dickson, was fantastic, taking efforts to have us see as much as possible including the big 5, black rhinos and a wildebeast river crossing. He was very knowledgeable and helpful.
All in all, we had a great and very affordable safari with Monkey Adventures.

Perfect Safari
We spent eleven days with Marko and our guide- David. Perfect is the best word to describe our time with them. Marko took care of everything, any problem solved in no time. For low budget he created an amazing tour over Tanzania included a lot of safari games, waterfall, hot springs, coffee plantations and Kilimanjaro hiking. The hotels and lodges were on good quality and the food was great.
It seems like David knows everything, answered every stupid question we had, very kind person, patient and attentive. He knows where every animal is and we saw crazy things like hunting Cheetah, fighting elephants, lions eating a buffalo and a dead leopard. He has a lot of experience and knowledge and he took a big place in our trip, we are really grateful for him!
I couldn't be more confident than I am right now to recommend African Traces!

Caring
We had a great time with Humphrey, his brother and Amani. They took great care of us, starting before we arrived to Tanzania. They picked us at the airport and took care of everything afterwards. Food was amazing, safari and tours as well:)
Do not hesitate to book with them:)

An experience from Kilimanjaro Trek to Serengeti Safari
We had a great and amazing time with Bujo Tours on August 2021 for both a private 8 day Kilimanjaro trek and a 5-day safari. Our mountain guides Nasoro and Jamar were knowledgeable and provided support whenever we needed their response, and the team of porters took amazing care of us. The food was great and I really can’t imagine a better experience.
We also had a fantastic safari with our guide Frank (Rasta-man) who went out of his way to give us an unforgettable safari.
The team at Moshi (Godfrey and Sweve) also took great care of us with transfers, organising gears plus short-day trips before and after the trek. What a lovely team at work. If I am to come back again, Bujo Tours will be my choice and I can say the experience was worth the money. SUPERB

We can be confident in booking with Simba paka!

4 day group safari - taranguire/ Serengeti / ngorogoro crater - tented camp
We had an amazing experience with suricata safari: our guide Florid was amazing, he had many years of experience and was able to find the most rare animals. Because of this we were able to spot 4/5 big five including a baby leopard. We also saw 2 hunting cheeta’s and lions within 1 meter from the jeep. The food was delicious : every meal was (hot!) traditional Tanzanian food (no lunchboxes). We were very lucky with our group , filled with incredible people. The tented camps had everything you needed with great view. This was perfectly our definition of a full experience safari and we can definitely recommend this company! If we ever come back to Tanzania we will book again with this company 100%.

Freindly, efficient, v\caring, knowledgeable and totally organised
This trip to the Namaqualand was the most amazing experience. The itinerary was well thought out - we stayed in the most quaint and luxurious places, visited a wide variety or areas all with different sights, did great things such as star gazing, bottling our own wine, guided field walks and talks, and enjoyed the BEST hospitality and food in EVERY venue. The guides Hennie and Andy were truly amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, great fun and kept us all to time - yet we never felt rushed. No request was too big or too small for these amazing gents.
The whole programme went like clockwork and was worth every minute and every cent.
I am already planning my next tour with them
FULLY recommend this for any single person / group or couples. They cater for EVERYONE.
In addition, the admin side of things is so well oiled - we were constantly updated before and duri8ng the trip as things developed. I felt like part of the family

Excellent Advice and Operations
When we started this we had no idea where to go or how much to spend we only knew we wanted to travel on safari. The team at Chalo understood our budget and helped plan everything from the Covid tests and flights to the camps and balloon adventures. This was the most memorable trip we have had and Chalo was right there to give us real time advice when we had questions or didn’t fully understand once we were in Africa. I would highly recommend them to anyone trying to book a safari.

Once in a lifetime experience!
Our Safari was just amazing, we could not be more thankful for that special experience! With Florid, our guide, we did not just have a great guide with huge knowledge about animals and the Tanzanian culture, we also found a new friend! All our questions were answered (we had a lot :D) and we were able to see more animals than we could have expected! Seeing wild animals like lions, cheetahs or elephants just a few meters next to your car leaves you speechless.
The whole trip was just perfectly organized, from the first pick up at the airport, till leaving Arusha - the communication with Hilary was very easy and he responded usually just within minutes. We booked a 4 day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater with camping! Everything was perfectly planned, the food was amazing and the evenings were really special with great talks and a lot of fun!
In the end I can say that all my expectations were totally excelled, I just feel very happy about having done this once in a lifetime experience with this great company! Asante sana and we will see us again! :)
