Best photo experts and safari guides!
We had an unbelievable day in Kruger National Park with Private Kruger Safaris. In one day we saw hundreds of elephants and giraffes! Other highlights were seeing hyenas and cubs walking around our safari vehicle. We saw the endangered African wild dogs feeding their pups! From a distance we saw a leopard with its kill lounging in a tree. But the biggest highlight of the day was watching lions hunting kudus and impalas. It looked like something straight out of National Geographic watching the lions stalk and run after their prey! Private Kruger Safaris did an incredible job of making sure we were in the right place at the right time!
If you are a professional or serious photo hobbyist, the owners of Private Kruger Safaris have another company B1 Photo Safaris that is focused on wildlife photography. We were so thankful for our incredible game drive and photos in Kruger National Park!

10 stars if I could! Antony is the absolute best guide you will find who treats you like a friend
My experience interacting and traveling with Antony has been nothing but fantastic. I've already recommended Tazama to my best friend who might travel to Kenya next year and you deserve Tazama for your safari too.
Perhaps the best example of Antony's dedication to the client experience is our last day. The itinerary we agreed to had us leaving Maasai Mara early in the morning for the airport, which should get us to Nairobi at around noon. However, our departure flights were at midnight, so we would have had a lot of time twiddling our thumbs if not for Antony.
On the last day, Antony took us on an extra game drive in the park, so that we could enjoy the animals one more time and depart later. We also asked for local foods on the way to Nairobi so Antony took us out for both lunch and dinner at tasty local places. After dinner, we still had some time to kill before the flight, so Antony offered to drive us around Nairobi since we haven't seen the city yet. If these weren't enough proof, after we were dropped off, Antony saw us messaging each other in our group chat about the check-in counters being closed, so he reached out to his friend at the airport to ensure we had a smooth check-in and boarding process.
Keep in mind that he really could have just dropped us off at noon and went back to see his family that he hasn't seen for a whole week because of us, but Antony chose to do all this extra work so that we have the best experience possible. His drive for client satisfaction has been consistent ever since I interacted with him.
Pre-arrival:
A friend recommended me this website when looking for a guide. Antony gave me a fair and honest quote and was always prompt at replying to any inquiries my group had. There were nights that Antony replied to my message instantaneously even when it was late in local time. At the time I thought he's just a night owl like me. However, it turned out he just always put his clients' needs first and do whatever is necessary to help the clients out, even if that means staying up when he had to get up super early in the morning.
Safari:
We spotted all the animals and activities we came here for, including wildebeest crossing and lionesses hunting. Of course the big five, and many many more. There was definitely some luck involved, but it's also thanks to Antony's expertise and dedication. He's excellent at navigating and driving through tough terrains (other cars got stuck at places we successfully went through). He's also well connected with other guides and rangers to know where to go. He understands animal behaviors so that he correctly anticipates where to stop the car for best photos and whether something exciting is about to happen (like the crossing and hunting we saw). Of course, he also always does whatever is in the clients' best interests. For example, he knew a leopard was somewhere, so he got up extra early to get us there before other guides and groups arrived.
Among all the guides I've met, Antony stands out as the absolute best. He treated us as to how he would host his friends and went way beyond my expectation. I'm not the "no worries" type, particularly when it comes to travel planning, but I know when Antony tells me hakuna matata, he will ensure everything goes perfectly. I feel extremely lucky to meet Antony and I can't wait to come back and travel with Tazama again.
Of course, there are other guides at Tazama. Since Tazama is Antony's baby, I have no doubt that he will only hire good people that can provide the same level of experience we had. You can't go wrong with Tazama.
Very organized and good planner. The driver ensured we had the best views.
Good planning and pick-up. Driver made the drive fantastic! Ensured we had the best views.

Reliable company .
Being passionate about photography and African wildlife, this year I decided to visit Kenya.
After an attentive internet search, I decided on an 8-day tour. I liked the itinerary presented by Amazing Memories safaris.
After a first contact with this company, I was positively impressed by Anne's helpful, enlightening and professional attitude.
I changed the program to nine days. I told her that my main purpose for this trip was photography and asked for a knowledgeable but above all patient guide.
David was exactly that. A kind and competent guide/driver, always ready to satisfy the customer.
I had the opportunity to take thousands of photos which included the migration by the Mara River, something not to forget.
The itinerary and chosen accommodation fulfilled my expectations.
Were really amazing memories

Perfect experience!
The tour was perfectly organized. Joseph has been helpful during the whole tour. Always replying inmediatly and organizing everyrhing on a perfect way. Hotel, food and safary was amazing. Our driver James was also kind and a great driver always looking for our well-being. The only point we did not like was to make a stop in the typical overcharged souvenir shop on our way back to the airport.

Amazing 5 stars tour operator
We had an absolutely perfect and unforgettable 12-days Safari with Francis. All our dreams came true… Our guide Francis was really amazing, we will never forget this wonderful experience in our life and are looking forward coming back on Safari with Heritage of African Jungles next year… Maybe then we will enjoy Meru NP and perhaps Lake Turkana area.
The organization by Naomy was simply unbeatable, all our needs were met perfectly
Naomy go on like this!

Great service from guide Ombeni- the star of the Serengeti!
We made our own journey - 5 days from Kogatende for the Great Migration, through North, Central, and South Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our guide Ombeni was incredibly courteous, knowledgeable, and safe. If the mark of a good guide is not how he is treated by his passengers, but rather by his colleagues, then Ombeni was second to none. We would hear him be called on the radio by many guides from different companies asking for advice or directions. Every single car that passed, the driver got a ‘hey how’s it going’. The same for park rangers, film crews… Ombeni knew them all. It felt like we were with our own Serengeti celebrity. And really drove home the things that we learned Tanzanians pride themselves on: humility, kindness, and hospitality. He was always early. He was always smiling. He was always professional. He knows every road, every locale, every lodge - there were no maps, no gps, and we never had to turn around once. He has impeccable intuition and knowledge of the wildlife which meant we benefitted by being able to see leopards and a cheetah! Truly an unforgettable trip.

Amazing tour with everything we expected and much more!
Our tour guide made sure that this 3-day safari is to become our best experience of our 10 day stay in Kenya. The park was above expectations. We ere able to get very close to every animal, basically could have pet the lion from the window (not recommended though :D). Our lodge was also much better than expected. Khalifa was flexible and recommended an early start and also agreed to visit a local school near the masai village. This trip was truly the very thing we will still remember after many years! Thank you!

Wonderful Mt kilimanjaro trekking and Safari in Tanzania
we had a trip in Tanzania which take 7 days of climbing Mt kilimanjaro via Lemosho route and 3 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was real amazing and well organized by Goldfish Tours. Everything was arranged perfectly to make it as comfortable from the arrival in Moshi to the departure day. The 7 day trek on the mountain is a great experience, the last day is really hard and nobody's sure to get to the top and we did to the top. The whole experience is amazing and the nature and views are good. we also visit Serengeti Np and Ngorongoro crater, we saw all big five animal such as Elephant, lion, Leopard, Rhino, and Buffalo. Thanks much Goldfish Tours for the amazing service.
