Self drive and Safari with driver
We visited Tanzania in february for a month with our family with 2 children of 1 and 4 years old. We rented a Landcruiser with driver for a 11 day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Natron. After that we did a self drive from Arusha to Dar es Salaam in a Rav4. The cars were brought to the airport and our accommodation. They are not the newest but they are reliable and carefully looked after.
The contact with Didas (and the other staff) was excellent. He responded very quickly on all our questions and was always available. Moreover he gave us useful suggestions for accommodation and the planning of our trip and he arranged 2 children seats free of charge.
Special thanks to Dixon who was not only our driver, but also a great guide and great person.
If you want to be flexible and plan your own trip in Tanzania we strongly recommend Gladio adventures!

great travel in Tanzania
My friends and I stayed at the hostel on the first day and the last day of our travel.
We received a warm hospitality from Nelson and Adam(the hostel people), and they invited us to drink at night. It was so good time!
In the safari tour, Herman(the guide) showed us the Tarangire, serengeti, and Ngorongoro. He kindly stopped a car according to our animal watching pace.
So we took our time watching many kinds of mammals.
Personally, it was nice to be able to watch serval cats. They were so tiny and cute!
Also regarding arrangement of meal and accommodation at both safari and hostel, and pick-up between the airport and the hostel, it was so great and smooth.
Our travel was very comfortable all the time, except that often the shower got only water(but it was no problem). Thank you so much!

Fantastic Tanzania empowered by Kiliholidays Tours
Tanzania is a fantastic country with so much to see and to explore. So it is very important to choose a tour company that is well suited in showing you the best of Tanzania. We (2 adults and to kids 8 & 10) traveled for 7 days on a jeep operated by Kiliholidays. OF course never being to East Africa, we were excited and anxious about what to expect. The top operator Mack, was fantastic in meeting our demands ahead of time and making sure that all of questions are answered. We changed plans a few times (and even during our visit when we wanted to visit a museum) and he eagerly accommodated. Our Safari guide, Thomas was just great. He was great with us and the kids and made sure that we are comfortable at all times. If you go to this trip, and if you choose this company, you will be in good hands. Tanzania is beautiful and so are its people with greta heart and open arms to welcome you.

Custom Private Safari at great value
We have heard from a group of friends going on a custom safari tour in Tanzania before. Last year my son booked on the same custom private tour after analyzing several other tour operators and also select E-Trip Africa for the specific and selected itinerary with the specific selection of lodging facilities. And they are still the lowest and most reasonable. So this year we organize the same trip for 6 of us. The booking, communication and coordination are very professionally, and as Americans we pay at its office in Chicago. It is an end-to-end arrangement, with the pickup from arrival, an overnight at the associated Researchers Rest B&B (a clean, comfortable and safe tropical plantation style lodging), the 8-day safari tour (covering our selection for Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Ndutu, Seregenti and Ngorongoro Crater), back to the same B&B and lastly the transfer to the airport. Everything is up to our expectations, and we are fortunate to be right in the middle of the migration for 3 days, seeing millions of wildebeests, zebras and few thousands of giraffes, all going together for miles and miles. The safari cruiser is clean and comfortable, our driver guide, David, is superb with his driving skills and field guide. He is very accommodating to our request, especially we are photographers. Calling to the local office in Arusha is quite easy with either US or local phone numbers. We can speak directly to the owner/operators. You can actually select the level of lodging amenities depending upon your budget.
Strongly recommended outfit if you are considering a safari tour in Tanzania.

Smooth as silk. Excellent guide -- at the "ready" at all times.
Overall, a Grand Experience! We visited two parks, and stayed in two different overnight facilities -- one a "tent" camp, and the other a 5* hotel. Guide was very knowledgeable -- about where we could see various animals and birds, and in identifiying them, with a lot of detailed background details. Clean and comfortable vehicle for over-the-road travel, and on the very "demanding" park roads.
Well done. I am happy to recommend this outfit to anyone considering one of their trips/expeditions.

Mara experience.
Awesome trip to Mara!I am generally a "do it yourself travel planner", however, in a place like Mara, and with limited days, Sanel Safari's really made all the difference in developing a well thought out plan. Every detail was arranged for us with the best of drivers, tour guides, and hotels. Amazing customer service!

Individually planned Trip - perfect service
We were planning a Safari in Tanzania and wanted to visit friends in Dodoma and Daressalam and have some days on Zanzibar inbetween. Tanzania Specialist arranged an individual itinerary for us, allowing changes in details almost to the last minute. All bookings, transfers and tours were delivered to perfection, we were very satisfied with the choice of lodges and hotels and the recommendations on our trip. Through their network in Tanzania, they were also able to arrange a guided tour in Daressalam for us, making our stay there very interesting and comfortable. The German speaking guides were a nice treat, although we soon switched to English.

SUPER TOP!!!!!
Tanzania is in itself a beautiful country, but Safari Avventura made our safari of ten days an unforgettable experience! Their program is the most complete and best organized among those we found and their price is super convenient. Establishments were even over our expectatios, each one unique and original (tented camps were wonderful!). Our jeep had all kinds of comforts; their organization was always present, helpful and available. You can have no doubts in relying on them...you will be extremely satisfied with your choice!!!
A special thanks to our guide John and to "the wizard of the street" Faruku: qualified, kind and always careful. The laughter and a mother cheetah with her cubs over a termite mound will remain our best memories of this fascinating trip!
Asante Sana to everyone!!!
Monica, Massimo, Virginia and Ottavia.
