The best choice for personalized safari !!!
I had no previous experience with I DREAM OF AFRICA, just reviews on Tripadvisor and testimonials on their web page. All of them exceptionally positive. I preferred to go with local company instead of large, international operator, mostly to support local business, affected by COVID pandemia. So I did, and it was a perfect choice. From the very first moment, when Chris and his son Warren met us at the Arusha airport, to the last farewell, with tears in our eyes. Christopher, founder and boss of the I DREAM OF AFRICA (small, family run) looked after our group far, far beyond our expectations. His eye for wild animals was fantastic - he spotted the cheetah from 500 meters away ! He, his son Warren, co-guide Obene, chief Japhet, with his aid, did really perfect job. Food was excellent, tents comfortable and in mint condition. You can relay on Christopher's knowledge of the national parks and places to find the animals. In fact, we saw all Big Five - hundreds of elephants and even witnessed the miracle of the elephant giving birth !!!
All together was worth of every penny spent. And although it was supposed to be "once in a lifetime experience", I must return there.
I would be more than happy to provide any further information and to act as his ambassador. Zbigniew Wlodarczyk, Poland

Unforgettable
As a first-timer on an African safari, I can not compare my experience to any other. I can only say that I enjoyed it a lot, I saw many unbelievable scenes involving African wildlife, and was treated like a VIP by our hosts. It was a lot of value for a reasonable amount of money. In one word: unforgettable!
His understanding and ability to communicate effectively are good, easy to talk to, and very flexibl
I had a wonderful time, and communication between us was peaceful a breathtaking experience. Tremendous scenery at every turn enjoyed the hike, and I loved our lunch at the Longonot cafe. The music was soothing especially after descending, the trip is a memorable one. kudos keep on doing your best.

Charles was the best guide we could ever have
Charles was very friendly and kind to us. Thanks to him, we could enjoy our days in Kenya with everything we needed. He always there to help us and to show us everything about this wonderful country. If we ever come back to Kenya we will repeat with him for sure!

Lemosho route up kilimanjaro July 2021
Right from the start we knew Great Lake Expedition were a special group, we received a tremendous welcome at the airport by our Head guide Jameel and this flowed through our whole trip. I travelled with my brother and sister in law who were celebrating their 32th wedding anniversary and a very good friend. The Great Lake Expedition managed to keep our spirits high, fed us amazing food and who else could provide a celebratory cake at 4k metres. Also when times get tough and altitude sickness kicks in they are there to encourage, help, support and at times literally drag you up their mountain. We chose the Lemosho route because it is quieter, but also has breathtaking scenery and allows you a more peaceful experience at the beginning. The Great Lake Expedition provide you with tents, sleeping mats, loo's at camp, songs, overwhelming amounts of food; special mentions for me are Juma, Elly, Suma, Uncle Tom, Chopper and Felix. When you come to Kili, bring extra money for good tips, they really deserve it and leave your best kit at home, you can donate any warm clothes, poles, boots and socks...so you can make the team more comfortable. Thanks Great Lake Expedition without you I would not have made it to the top of Africa

the majority of the process was smooth
I took a package with a friend for 5 day safari trip and it was beyond incredible. We had the best Safari guide during the whole trip, Moses, which made the trip one of the best experiences we've had :))
Collin planned the whole itinerary and tickets ( I however recommend you to buy your tickets that was the only con of the whole process) but other than that everything was well planned.

Wonderful Experience with Lelaa
We did a 4-Day luxury tour with Lelaa tours, Was amazing! I would recommend Lion King and Driver/Guide Francisco He was professional and dedicated to our experience. Francisco made our safari amazing as he was insightful and full of knowledge. We were able to see a lot of animals to include elephants (my personal favorite) hippos (my fiancé’s favorite) lions, and so many more! Lelaa safaris surpassed our expectations and would only book them and the guide again!
