Awesome first safari experience
In Africa in general, I think it's important to be flexible in order to enjoy yourself. Initially, me and my friend where scheduled to leave for the safari around 8:30AM. Therefore, I had planned to meet her an hour earlier that morning since I was coming back from trekking the Kilimanjaro and she had just arrived from home. Unfortunately, the evening before the safari started, my friend was told that we would be leaving 2 hours earlier than expected. Best day arranged transportation for me on the spot all the way from Moshi to Arusha free of charge so I wouldn't have to stress out about it or leave my lodge at 3AM to make it in time.
The Safari was great. We were paired with an awesome driver who's been doing this for 12 years. He was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I realized that with safari, there's a great deal of luck involved and fortunately one of us in that group clearly had Irish ancestry because we got to see many cool things. A Serval cat in Serengeti, a freaking Honey Badger fighting two jackals in Ngorongoro, even two lionesses hunting warthogs in Tarangire, right at the very end of our trip when we were heading to the gate. The complimentary accommodation options in Karatu and Arusha were "meh" but the one in Serengeti which is actually owned by the same company was EXCELLENT! I feel that Best Day offers the reliability of a big company and the personal service of a small one and I will be recommending it to my friends visiting Tanzania.

Fantastic Uganda Adventure - Highly Recommended!
During our 15-day birdwatching tour in Uganda, Dauda (driver) and Veronica (guide) were a fantastic choice. They were an extremely well organized, courteous and professional safari team. Above all, both Dauda and Veronica proved to be good company with a lot of humor and good insight stories.
Dauda is a very safe and reliable driver. He knows all the roads and national parks by heart. His longstanding contacts throughout the country were always helpful in providing insider knowledge of daily sightings. His humor and flexibility were the perfect companion during any car ride!
Our bird guide Veronica was excellent at identifying rare species in national parks, spotting raptors from the car, and searching for every target on our bird wish list. Her ability and patience to point out distinguishing features of bird species was much appreciated.
With Augur tours, we felt in good hands to explore Uganda! They come highly recommended.

Amazing Safari experience
I had an amazing experience at the four day trip! The guide took really good care of us and the food was great as well. My favorite part was Serengeti. The guide was flexible as well, we wanted to stop by a Maasai tribe and we did.
Sleeping in Serengeti was a cool experience. I would definitely want to go with the Dodo Group on another activity if I ever get lucky to return to Tanzania.

Dream like Safari Tour
We have completed an amazing safari and holiday with the help of Lisa and our travel guide Dan. Dan has a very good knowledge about the nature and the habitat also very good driver. He did his best for us. We have visited all 5 big and lots of other species, it was amazing experience for us. The choice of accomodation points that they offer also was so good and comfortable. Lisa from King Tomondo who helped us to organize a very best plan for a safari was very helpful and experienced person. She helped in every point that we need. We want to thank all King Tomondo crew for a great unforgetable Kenya Safari tour. Hope to meet again.

Amazing 7-Day Safari
We just got home from our 7-Day Tazama Special Kenya Safari tour. It had always been our dream to go on safari in Africa, and we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Tazama Africa Holidays.
We were initially a little skeptical about Tazama because its online reviews seemed almost too good to be legitimate. However, we can say that the multitude of 5-star ratings are well deserved.
All of our questions regarding tour package options, payment, and other details were addressed almost instantly by Antony. No matter the time, day or night, he always responded quickly and professionally. Payment was also relatively simple and safe. We used the PesaPal option. (I had to contact my credit card company to authorize the transaction, but it went smoothly afterwards.)
On the day of our tour departure, we were greeted by Antony in our hotel lobby in Nairobi. He waited with us while our guide, Mark, arrived.
From the beginning, we found Mark to be personable and professional. On our way to our first destination and between parks, he told us interesting facts about Nairobi, the countryside, and Kenyan people. On our daily game drives, Mark shared his rich knowledge about the diverse animals of Kenya. He also worked hard to spot and get as close as possible to the animals we were most interested in viewing. Throughout our game drives, Mark remained in contact with other guides, always hoping to locate the most elusive animals. Thanks to Mark, we were able to see all of the Big 5 animals and many others.
Thank you very much to Antony, Mark, and Tazama Africa Holidays for an amazing experience.

Enjoyable and Informative City Tour
Did a city tour during a layover at Harare, pickup and dropoff from the airport was easily accommodated and the tour itself was exactly what we were looking for, both enjoyable and informative. Communication leading up was quick and everything was efficiently arranged. Guide was knowledgeable, considerate and friendly. Thanks!

Great Safari with Sino Africa Safari!
We had a wonderful safari organized by Sino Africa Safari. We were so happy to have Kennedy as our driver. He was amazing. Safety is always important when traveling and he was always thinking ahead. Felt very comfortable and in good hands. Hotels were luxury for sure, and food was great! We love the safari, and we will certainly come back to Africa!
