Great experience
It was the best experience going for a day safari in tarangire with serengeti Green Tanzania. We had a single day in tarangire and it was unforgettable journey since we saw a lot of animals with Godwin. We had the best guide and driver you can imagine. He is very helpful and experienced. He knows every corner and stop to show you the animals and creatures in the wilderness. Besides that we enjoyed the conversation about the maasai culture during the transfer. Need less to say special thanks to the owner of the company and his team for the valuable safari tour. You are indeed the best

The operator is reliable, easy to deal with and flexible.
We had a great time in Masai Mara and Nakuru NP. Our expectations were oversuceeded as we enjoyed beautiful scenary and got to see fascinating animals. We were lucky to see a great variety of wildlife closeby. Jimmy was the perfect guide for this trip as he was well informed about the parks, the wildlife and in general made sure that everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend requesting him as a guide for the tour - he is also a highly skilled driver and made us feel save and comfortable the whole 4 days. You get great value for your money!

Informative and awesome guides
In the forth quarter of the year 2022. I was in Uganda for a business trip and intended to visit some of the iconic places in the wonderful east African country. I was leaving the country for South Africa for business as well but wanted to first witness the beautiful country side.
so I planned a trip with Zootopia game drives and Hope was wonderful in her communications, responded well to all my requests and even adjusted the itinerary last minute to accommodate my friends who joined the idea later. we organized a small group retreat. To western Uganda most notably the Queen Elizabeth national park.
The organization was amazing and the guide moses was wonderful, full of knowledge and he was like an encyclopedia of information on the flora and fauna. we stayed 3 days in queen and our budget trip was wonderful.
the accommodations were safari tents and we stayed at The Bush lodge tents in the park.
we enjoyed the boat cruise on kazinga channel and the highlight of the trip was the elephants we saw fighting. oh wow...
In a nutshell the company is fully organized and helped us enjoy our trip.
the owner Ronnie took his time to meet us after the trip and kept in touch even after the trip.
I would recommend zootopia game drives to any one any day.
it was worth every penny we spent.

experienced, reliable, flexible and very kind
Our safari experience was unforgettable. The company is very organized and thanks to Maulidi we spent rich and full days: we have seen all the big five between Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngongoro and Manyara. The safari was tailor made for us and allowed us to tailor it to our preferences. Maulidi was an experienced, reliable and flexible guide who made us enjoy our experience to the fullest.

Wonderful!
This was our 4th trip to Tanzania and once again we used Flash. All four of our trips have been great, we worked with Henry in planning our trip to Ruaha and Selous, he arranged our flights within Tanzania and the tented camps. Everything went smoothly from our flights to the camps. The camps we stayed at were excellent. The communication with Henry throughout our planning for this trip was excellent. One of the reasons that I have used Flash for the four trips we have gone on is because they responded right away with any questions I had and we never had any issues on the trips we have taken arranged by them. I would highly recommend Flash in planning a safari.

From the beginning to the end, they were reliable, helpful and did the best of every situation!
The communication was always very quick and helpful. The tour operators organised the best possible trip including all our wishes. John, our guide during 5 days, was super reliable, fun and always had an immense wisedom of the nature, animals and culture, which made this trip absolutely unforgettable. The tour included everything (and more) of what we had expected and the value for money is EXCELLENT! 5/5 would recommend to plan your trip with Fede Tours and specifically to ask for John as your guide! :)

Great Trip!
We had a great experience in Tanzania! Our guide was very professional and full of information about the wildlife and local people/culture. It was a lot of fun and we saw tons of wildlife in Serengeti, Ngorogoro, and Tarangire. I will definitely use Raven Safaris when I return to Tanzania.

Perfect family safari
We had a perfect safari. Our guide, Gama, was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with my kids (ages 7 and 9). He has an excellent eye and we were able to see all of the big 5.
The lodges we were booked into- Arusha Planet, Eileen’s Trees Inn, and Embalakai Tented Camp- were well appointed and clean with friendly staff and good food.
Lion King did an excellent job communicating and we’re always available for questions. When we realized we couldn’t do a walking safari due to the ages of the kids, they scheduled a perfect replacement activity that we all enjoyed and covered the extra cost. I highly recommend Lion King for a family safari.

Organized, comprehensive and tailored the trip to what we wanted to see
I also did a more in depth review on trip advisors, so please review. Were a family of 4 (2 kids ages 22 and 16). Goal was gorillas but Uganda is so much more and incredibly under rated. First, I contacted 9 safari companies out of uganda and Robert of Africa Adventure Vacations, Ltd called me immediately on whatsapp. He addressed every question I had, made wonderful suggestions and had competitive pricing. I knew for the most part what we were interested in seeing and tge parks we wanted to explore but Robert organized it and made it happen. For a little more, we opted for luxury accommodations and wow it did not disappoint. The lodges were exceptional. We got upgraded, we were close to where the animals were known to be. It was top notch. Robert arranged everything so upon arrival we were guests and didn't have to think. We could just enjoy. All meals were included. We had ample water and felt safe
Our guide who met us at the airport upon arrival with Robert was this kind hearted 25 year old local. His pride for his country was evident in everything he did. He was a wealth of information about the animals, local culture and people, cuisine...just everything. We conversed from breakfast until 9pm at night. We had many long drives to talk and get to know him, and he know us. He individualized our vacation to concentrate on what interested us. We are physicians and without us inquiring about it, he took us to an island hospital where we got a tour from the local doctor. It was an amazing opportunity that Herbert arranged. He went above and beyond day after day. We would laugh with him, kids had inside jokes they all enjoyed. He made this trip for us!!! He was an excellent driver. He would stop when we asked and was so organized, making sure we accomplished all we were set out to do that day. By the end, we all she'd tears at the airport as we departed ways from our new friend.
We toured Murchison Falls and queen Elizabeth National parks, ziwa rhino sanctuary, ishasha unsuccessful in searching for tree lions and chimp and gorilla trekking. We did a lot in 8 full days ...probably too much and didn't have much down time to really enjoy the luxury lodges. I would recommend another day or 2 to have a bit more time at the pool etc or cut out a few activities if you're trying to do it all in 8 days. If we had to cut out items I guess I'd not do the swamp tour and salt mining. It was interesting but could have been some time for relaxing. The ishasha sector is a long long bumpy dusty drive. We enjoyed it but would be another almost day of enjoying other activities. I would also say that I would not do the 4 hour chimp habituation. It was costly and way too many people. It was terrific early in the morning when it was just our group but then several people congregated and it was way too populated and the habituation group that paid extra was shoved out of the way for over an hour so the 1 hour trekkers had their time with chimps and we just stood around.
Lake bunyanyi birdsnest resort was a great way to end the trip. I would definitely recommend a porter with gorillas treks. For 4 of us we hired one, who held my hand on the difficult terrain. It was $20 plus tip. The walking sticks were free to use. We toured a batwa Pygmy communityband that should not be missed. Had I known, I would have brought clothing and food to donate.
Bring lots of small shillings to tip. It's not expected but is greatly appreciated. The food was wonderful and no one got sick. Robert provided us with a packing list and it is Essential to follow this. He is spot on with what to pack. We brought sunscreen, DEET, and just a carryon. Don't bring a huge suitcase. We sprayed our clothes with premethrin prior to travel. Bring lightweight raincoat & have good hiking boots. Robert arranged trekking permission and gave links to the visa so I knew it was legit. You don't want to get scammed
I can't recommend and endorse Africa adventure vacations, Ltd enough. There was so much that could go wrong on such a huge trip but they made sure it didn't. I would personally request Herbert as a guide especially if you have teens. He's relatable to us inour 50s but got along so well with our children too. Only thing I would avoid is Rwandair if you can

A perfect experience from start to finish, 6 Days Safari
If you're searching for an amazing safari experience, look no further than Divulge Adventures! That's exactly what we did and it was a decision we won't ever regret. The reservation process was easy, payments went smoothly and all other transactions went according to plan. Erick and his team were there from start to finish to guide us.
Our itinerary was specifically tailored to suit our needs - we were traveling with our 6-year-old daughter, so we wanted something that wasn't too heavy on the road. We settled on a 6 day safari through some truly breathtaking locations. We pedaled through Hell's Gate, went through Lake Navaisha, explored Lake Nakuru and spent 4 amazing days in the Masai Mara. And let me tell you, every detail was taken care of!
Our guide was James, and he was absolutely phenomenal. He was dedicated to ensuring we saw everything we possibly could while simultaneously taking care of all the little details of our trip. We didn't have any last-minute changes or unpleasant surprises - everything was above and beyond our expectations.
The hotels we stayed at were incredible- Naivasha Sawela Lodge, Sarova Lionhill Game Lodge, and Mara Serena Lodge. Now that our safari is over, we're already dreaming of repeating our adventure with Divulge Adventures in other parks. If you're looking for a high-quality safari experience, look no further than Divulge!
