Ask for Bakari
Aquila is the best safari leader. They bring you to only the best lodges and beautiful nature, and the guide Bakari is so knowledgeable about the national parks and animals that he will bring you to the top secret spots. Highly recommend!

Perfect Safari Experience!
We just recently went on an 11 day excursion with Wild Root Safaris, visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.
We literally saw everything! Best experience imaginable! Each location provided a unique look at its animals and how they interact with their environments.
Mathew, our guide and friend, could not have been better! He took great care of us and was also extremely well organized!
There are quite a few reasons to pick Wild Root Safaris over anywhere else...
First, Mathew customized our trip exclusively for us. He was also able to change details on the fly, based on where the animals were located in the Serengeti, and depending on what we wanted to do that day. Super flexible!
Second, we saw the big five! And much more!
Finally, part of the proceeds go towards building schools in the local community of Arusha. (most safari companies don't do this)
Our trip was perfect! Thanks Mathew!
* also, travelling during Covid was not that difficult.

Highly Recommend Animal World Safaris
A whole 15 day safari and the quality of everything we received was top notch. We did 3 countries, and 9 parks. Our dream was to do Gorilla trekking, Maasai mara, Amboseli, Ol Pejeta, Giraffe Center, Serengeti and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Then in addition, we visited Nairobi National Park, and Diani beach. The highlight of my safari was feeding Giraffes at the Giraffe Manor. Interacting with orphan Elephants at Sheldrick Elephant orphanage was magical. All this because Animal World Safaris listened and understood our interests. Thank You!

Worth every coin
My 8 day safari with Dallago Tours was worth every coin. I was in Kenya for work and i decided to take a break and tour East Africa. This company is really amazing for they keep it professional. The guide I got was very friendly and we really bonded and became friends. The company's cars are well maintained, the drivers are experienced and you get exactly what you paid for. They make sure you have the best treatment whether at the parks or hotels. I got a chance to learn so much and interact a lot with so many wild animals.

Did not meet expectations
After a year delay due to the pandemic we finally made out trip to South Africa. I would first like to say that the Go Touch Down staff were friendly and accommodating. We started our tour at the Seasons Resort and Spa, we would not rate this as a five star resort there were many small maintenance issues that needed to be corrected, from loose door knob, no wash clothes for 4 days, towels not replaced, animal droppings on the miniature golf course playing area, bricks sticking up on with walking path. The restaurant on the property (only one) had a very limited menu offering and than a lot of the items were not available. The elephant sanctuary tour was fantastic, would highly recommend, also enjoyed the hot air balloon ride. The drive from Seasons to Dullstroom for the panoramic route was long however the sights were very beautiful. It started with a grab and go breakfast to enjoy while driving, ( a cheese sandwich, hard boiled egg and an apple) , not a usual American type of breakfast. Made three stops along the way. The Dunkeld Lodge was very nice, we had a late lunch in the 1883 dinning room, in the evening we had an outdoor fire with a dance performance and retreated into the bar area to enjoy the bbq that was prepared. Was a cool temperature for the time of the year but the fireplace in the room kept it warm and cozy. Next morning we left for Humala River Lodge, stopped in Dullstroom, would have enjoyed a longer stop in town, only had 30 minutes to walk around. than a long drive. Once we got to Humala we had to transfer from the van to the game jeep for a 45 minute ride from the entrance out to the lodge. The lodge was everything we expected it to be, little cold as it got down to 39 degrees one night, the game drives we great. The only negative might have been at there is no menu , you get what the cook prepares. For us luckily it was all good and we enjoyed everything but for some people it could be a problem .
Humala was what you expect Africa to be. We again had an outdoor bonfire and Swaziland dancers did a show. Since this is a game reserve the amount and type of animals are limited. Than a long drive back to Seasons Resort. with a stop at Lion and Safari Park. The animals here are in large fenced in areas that you are driven through, have a good variety of animals but it is a captive situation. Next day it was drive to Pilamesberg National Park. again we had grab and go breakfast to eat in the car (tuna sandwich which no one ate) at the park we choose the open jeep and had a very good guide. Highlight here was watching the parade of 17 elephants going to the water hole, the restaurant at the park was closed so we ended up at Blimpies a fast food hamburger restaurant. Next day it was off for the hot air balloon ride which had been delayed from day to until the next to last day. We originally received a very detailed itinerary for the trip, it was however in constant state of flux as tours changed, and due to the pandemic some tours were cancelled or only parts of them were available.
Overall for the cost you get a lot with the tour, meals, transportation in country, some tour guide local tours it is not a high end tour but it is a good tour, more detail to the property maintenance at Seasons and what US visitors are expecting could be improved. Expect to spend a lot of time driving 6 people plus the tour guide in a 2 row van.

Mount Kilimanjaro Climb
Almighty Kilimanjaro did a great job planning and organizing our trek. From airport pickup till when we were dropped off again at the airport to carryon with the rest of our trip. We had a team of 10 people; 2 tour guides, 6 porters, a chef and chefs assistant. Each person on the team made us and our safety a priority. Our tour guides, Innocent and Dianna were very patient and encouraging throughout the climb which made it very comfortable for us. And we had a liaison, Ralph who did an excellent job executing our itinerary and along with Innocent, showing us around town and introducing us to the culture!
The only suggestion for improvement I have is to provide a bit more variety to the food choices we had.
Great experience overall and would absolutely recommend them!
