Action packed tour for a great price!
We are 4 students on a very tight budget and we had a great time with alpha dean! We were quoted a great price for our tour by Jemimah, who was super helpful at organising everything and gave us loads of options to find what fitted best with our plans. We settled on a five day tour with two days in the Masai Mara, plus a trip to lake Nakuru and lake naivasha on the way back, driving from Nairobi. They were very helpful in us getting cash out to pay for the tour and other extras along the way. The shared tour ended up being just the 4 of us as it was off season. They offered us an upgrade of vehicle at the last minute for $200 which we didn’t accept, but may offer a more comfortable experience as it was quite a loud & bumpy ride in the mini van. This wasn’t an issue for 4 young guys expecting a budget trip, but if it was full/for those who prefer a slightly calmer experience we’d recommend upgrading! We arrived in the Masai Mara campsite on the first evening after a long drive. The camp had WiFi and great food included for our price bracket, with a nice bar to buy ourselves drinks. We then left early the next morning for a whole day game drive. It was brilliant, our guides Anthony and Dan were experts at navigating the muddy conditions and found us everything from lions to elephants and even a leopard. We also enjoyed a walk along the Mara river with a ranger, making each day feel completely unique. We had an amazing experience both days on the reserve and the rain hardly affected our trip at all. The second evening our car broke down, but the guys dealt with it really well, and we were picked up by another tour guide who looked after us. The guides at alpha dean are friendly with everyone on the Mara and it really shows! The third day was another driving day, with a long trip to Nakuru where we stayed in a lovely hotel. The last day involved a long morning game drive in Nakuru where we saw rhinos and an array of great bird life that we couldn’t see on the Masai Mara. We then finished the tour by driving to lake naivasha where we were able to enjoy a boat ride ($20 pp) and a nature walk (another $20pp). These were brilliant so we’d highly recommend, just be aware that they cost extra. There’s also a strong culture of tipping so make sure to factor that cost in! Overall we had an incredible experience with alpha dean and we’d definitely recommend doing a safari with Jemimah, Anthony, and team in future!

Very well organized
Amazing experience!
We did massai mara, lake naivasha, nakuru and amboseli 7 days safari. We saw hundreds of animals in the wild. Everything was very well organized and our drivers were excellent and friendly.
Prices were similar to competition but in most cases we had much better accomodation. Selina our consultant prepered very transparent itinerary and responded really quickly to our requests.
Thank you.

Amazing adventure in Uganda
My wife and I went on a tour of Uganda with Hamza in 2023. He helped create a custom itinerary for us featuring only the specific animals (e.g., gorillas, rhinos) and sites that we wanted to see. He is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable about the region and he was an outstanding guide. Engaging a local wildlife expert so that we could closely follow a family of lions on their hunt on an evening safari was a real unexpected highlight. Hamza was very flexible and accommodated our needs throughout the trip. There was a rain storm during our trip that flooded many roads and blocked off access to parts of the country. Hamza calmly and expertly adjusted our itinerary using the roads that were accessible. Overall, it was wonderful spending the week with Hamza and we thoroughly enjoyed our travels around Uganda. I would highly recommend Hamza as a guide if you are looking to travel around Uganda or the surrounding areas.

Very pleased with the service I received
I very much enjoyed my interaction with Journey Beyond Nature Safaris, from the time of enquiries to the drop-off at the Victoria Falls airport on the tour itself. First off, all my email enquiries were prompted attended to, mostly within several hours, even on the weekends, which gave me reassurance that this company was trustworthy and reliable. Admittedly, I was a little nervous after handing over my 40% deposit, but I need not have worried, because the game drive operator turned up, a little too punctually, as it were, for African standards. But everything was all sorted out on the ground and I did enjoy the game tour.
Simba was very pro-active and without me reminding him, had made sure that the other tour operators whom he booked me on knew about the last minute change in my hotel location in Victoria Falls. So I was picked up at the correct location! And I thoroughly enjoyed the services of the guides (contracted out to a 3rd party) who accompanied throughout the Falls itself.

We were for 1,5 days in the National Park. Our guide Albert found the right places so we see nearly all big 5.
Additionally, we saw many other spectacular animals.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience 🌿🦁
We had an amazing safari experience with Going Green Safari Tours in Tanzania. Everything went perfectly according to plan, and it truly exceeded our expectations.
Our driver, Lennart, was incredibly kind and helpful. We felt safe and well taken care of from start to finish, and he did everything he could to make sure we had the best possible experience.
The camp was also fantastic, with beautiful cabins, very friendly staff, and delicious food.
We highly recommend Going Green Safari Tours to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania – it was truly an unforgettable experience!

ZAFS Tours is a professional and reliable tour operator based in Moshi, specializing in authentic lo
Had a fantastic overall experience with ZAFS Tours during my time in Tanzania. They organized some amazing experiences for me, including Serval Wildlife and the beautiful Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The vehicle they arranged was extremely comfortable and well maintained, and the entire journey felt very smooth and safe because of it.
What stood out the most was the reliability and trust factor, traveling in a new country can feel uncertain, but with their drivers and team, I always felt secure and well taken care of. Everything was handled professionally, which made the whole experience stress-free and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend them for exploring Tanzania! 🌿✨

Good job
A very successful trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information. His assistance with taking photos was invaluable. The intimate hotel with Wi-Fi and friendly service also deserves the highest rating. I highly recommend it.

An adventurous tour operator that offers great activities, along with excellent communication and se
We had an amazing holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar with the four of us. We booked our trip through Somewhere in Africa and everything was organised very well from start to finish. It was wonderful to have everything arranged so smoothly, because it allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about planning or logistics during the holiday.
The absolute highlight of our trip was the safari. It was an unforgettable experience to explore the national parks and see so many animals in the wild. Our guide was excellent: very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and clearly dedicated to helping us spot as many different animals as possible. Thanks to his experience and sharp eye, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife, which made the safari truly special.
The accommodations during the safari were also great. Each place was comfortable, well taken care of, and it was very nice to be able to relax by the swimming pool after a day full of game drives.
Communication with Somewhere in Africa was very pleasant throughout the entire process. The team was always helpful, responsive and willing to think along with us to make the trip as enjoyable as possible. What we also really liked is that you can book many different types of experiences through them, not just safari. They offer a wide range of activities, which makes it easy to create a very varied and personalised trip.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and created wonderful memories. We would definitely recommend Somewhere in Africa to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar!
