Adventure Safari Masai Mara
A wonderful safari from the first contact to the return to Nairobi. Janet takes good care of her customers. Had a great driver with Gibson who also shared interesting information. The 3 days were unfortunately over too quickly. Thanks again to Janet and her staff.

Our first time in Africa
There was our first time in Africa and it was stunning! We did an amazing tour (4 days) and we saw the big five. Everything was perfect. The best thing was to wake up in the middle of nature in these beautiful locations. I recommend Safari Avventura to everyone for a wonderful stay in Tanzania

Incredible Safari experience in Tarangire and Ngorongoro!
Even before we started our tour, we realized the kindness and warmheartedness with which the Montez family approach their customers. The full organization via e-mail and Whatsapp with Rose was excellent, very professional, reliable and friendly. That continued on the day of our arrival. Originally we wanted to take a very late flight, but very short termed we changed our plans and took the earlier flight. Luckily it was no problem, they answered immediately and promised us an earlier pick up service. When we arrived Jason was already waiting for us with a plate with our names on it and drove us to Arusha.
On the next day - after breakfast - Abdul, our guide for the next two days picked us up from our hotel Mt. Meru to start our way to Tarangire national park, the first stop of our tour. He was very kind, attentive, and intelligent, gave us a lot of information about the country, the people and their lifestyle. He was also willing and open to tell us about his muslim culture, what was very interesting. The drive in general was very pleasant in this big land cruiser. The car was very clean and comfortable and contained a cooling box with several drinks (beer, soda, water), which they had previously prepared according to our wishes. In Tarangire we could see a lot of elephants and giraffes from very close and a lot of other beautiful animals. Abdul was always very patient, so that we could take the best pictures and videos to keep our amazing memories. For lunch they prepared a lunch box for us, which included food for all tastes. This picnic place was very lovely and with a beautiful view over a river. Perfect place to have a chat and enjoy your meal with a delicious coffee. But be aware of the monkeys, who also would like to get your food
In the afternoon Abdul brought us to the Kitela Lodge, our place for the night. We had a warm welcome with sparkling wine and some tasty samosa snacks. We arrived shortly before sunset, which you could observe perfectly from there, a breathtaking view. The room was very beautiful and big, so was the bed. We even had a water dispenser and a chimney in the living room. In the bathroom a gorgeous freestanding bathtub awaited us, as well as two wash basins. Due to security reasons the lodge also accommodated four german sheperd dogs, which were incredibly cute and could also be petted. A heaven for dog lovers. Dinner and breakfast were both very delicious, the service was top and the staff was very courteous. We truly enjoyed our stay there. Before we continued our trip in the next morning to the Ngorongoro crater we could put together our lunch package for the day.
At Ngorongoro we spent half the day. We were very happy, that we could see the black rhino, as well as beautiful zebras and wildebeests with their newly born cubs. Or also lions who layed down in the middle of the road to relax. We never saw them from so close, we could have reached out and touched them. The crater itself offers a magical view and a beautiful scenery. After the game drive, Abdul brought us back safely to the Hotel Mt. Meru and even waited by the reception until we got our room keys, so that we do not face any problems. We were very thankful for having him as a guide for these two days.
In the evening we got the opportunity to spend a nice time with Rose and Anitha and finally meet them in person. Also in real life they are very lovely and friendly people, always having a smile on their face, we were on good terms. They picked us up from our hotel and brought us to nice local places in Arusha for dinner. After this day we still spent some days in Arusha on our own. They also offered us to organize some programs for these days but unfortunately we already booked something in advance. On our last day in Arusha they also brought us to the Airport, to continue our journey, as it is also included in the package. Even after our safari we are still in close contact with each other.
For Montez, the well-being of the clients is their priority, with a tremendous dedication and care and a very friendly and professional manner, they take care of the clients and offer them perfectly composed program packages for an unforgettable safari experience. They pay attention to every detail to ensure that the customers lack for nothing and ensure a reliable communication. We felt very comfortable during our safari trip with Montez. We recommend everyone who is thinking about a safari to book it with Montez Africa Safaris and you will fully enjoy it. Thank you very much for this magnificent experience.

Excellent private safari with experienced and reliable company - highly recommend!
We are not new travelers to Tanzania or Africa. This was our 10th African safari and 4th in Tanzania. From our first email and phone conversations we knew we had selected the right company. Vimat Safaris was highly recommended to us, and they did not disappoint us in any detail. We were very specific about our interests and expectations for a guide. Not only did the owner Vincent pair us with an excellent wildlife guide, he made excellent suggestions to our itinerary and ensured that every detail was covered from our arrival at Arusha airport to our departure 21 days later. Our accommodations were choice with excellent locations. Our guide was expert in both tracking the wildlife and making us aware of unique and interesting behaviors. We enjoyed his humor and knowledge. Even though this was our 4th migration experience, we learned much from him and appreciated his excellent driving skill in rough conditions. It was by far our best safari experience ever. Thanks to Vincent and Peter for the experience of a lifetime!

Lenchada safaris - forever!!!
The safari went according to the program: masai mara-nakuru-navaysha. This is our second safari, so there is nothing to compare ... We all liked it — the organization, the program and most importantly the safari is our super driver guide Kikitu (a good guide is 100% of your success). Kikitu forever !!! He told a lot of interesting things about animals and plants of Kenya, he saw a lot of animals, he was unlucky only with a leopard, he will have to return for a big pussy. But they saw the black rhino family - mom, dad and baby (which is very rare) Thanks Kikitu!
Lenchada safaris forever! Asanta sana Kikitu. Karibu tena!

Ben was trustworthy, reliable and the best game driver. Ben was punctual in the duration of our trip
My husband and I went to South Africa and we chose Siye Phambile company. Ben, the tour operator was knowledgable, trustworthy and dependable. Ben was punctual from picking us up from the airport and drop us at the end of our trip in South Africa. Ben was the best game driver. Our safari started at 08:00 an and at 2 pm, we had a break from 2:00 pm to 4 pm and we started our game drive from 4 to 6 pm at Kruger National park. In the Kruger National park, Ben was tried to his best to go to dirt roads so we could see the Big Five. Thanks Ben for the wonderful experiences

Great safari experience with Lion King Adventures
As the leader of a group of 10 tourists, mostly first time to Tanzania, I started communication with Lion King 3 months before our journey. Pendo has been always so quick to respond, professional on the safari and patient to all my questions. With her help we designed our itinerary, which proved to be efficient. She also helped us book connection flight to Zanzibar.
Our drivers & guides are Salehe and Gilbert. Both are experienced, knowledgeable, resourceful and industrious. We saw all the animals on our wish list. Though we unexpectedly met with extended raining season that led to muddy road, Salehe avoided quite a few traps, and managed to pull us out of the rest quickly. We also saw him lend a hand to other trapped vehicles. Very good person!
We will come again in the summer and we will use Lion King again too. We highly recommend Lion King with its excellent staff and service. That's the guarantee for a prefect safari in East Africa.

Ultimate nature experience!!
During our tour we went to the Kruger National Park which is such a stunning place!!! Seeing the animals in their natural habitat was absolutely amazing. They were all so peaceful and happy. I can't stress enough how amazing it was driving through the park seeing all the scenery and all the different animals. I almost got to see the whole Big 5...I was only missing the Leopard but next time hopefully I get to see it. Our guide was also very friendly and knowledgeable. He told us so much of the animals I knew nothing about and cleared up some things I thought was true but wasn't about the animals as well. Very thankful he was our guide and took us around to see most of the animals. If you a nature lover then I would definitely recommend coming to the Kruger to see these animals in their natural habit.

It was excellent choice!
We've chosen Kiliholidays btween two other operators. One of the reasons was very quick communication with Mack, he responded to my questions quickly and on very professional manner. The offer has been tailored based on our requests and needs . It was 4 days safari with 3 nights in very nice lodges and one in tented lodge camp, which was exceptional experience as there were no other guests that time:-))
Our guide/driver Thomas was a great guy, funny with great knowledge of fauna and flora. He's been spotting for us animals, we had a chance to see some of them without other cars around what was incredible and very personal experience.
We've spent fantastic time in three national parks, saw lots of animals (no leopard though:-( ), had great fun with Thomas, the lodges were great, food was tasty, there is nothing to complain about.
I highly recommend Kiliholidays, Mack is very responsive, flexible, professional and helpful. If I ever come back to Tanzania for safari I'll do it with them again!
Thank you Mack! Thank you Thomas!

Excellent and reliable
I picked this company because of the good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The 5 day Safari tour was diverse and interesting, the Lodge was good value and the staff attentive and on time. The communication with Simon the owner was efficient and pleasant. They were happy to accommodate any changes I requested and have a wide variety of attractions available. Their price is fair compared to others. We had a great time on our trips with them.
