Super high recommendation!!
I did a four-day hike to the top of Mount Meru with Samora Explorers. This hike was the highlight of my trip to Tanzania and exceeded all my expectations. The team was fabulous: My guide Gadiel, the chef Mapunduki, and the three porters Benjamin, Rosa, and Abraham were the best crew one could ever get to do such a hike. Once again, thank you so much if you guys read this. Asante sana!
Here are some examples of how they will care for you if you go with Samora Explorers: Gadi watched my steps and made me feel safe to hike at such a high altitude. At each moment, he was aware of all external factors (weather, track, flora, fauna, etc.) and how I dealt with them. And it was so much fun with him, too!
I am a coeliac; thus, I cannot eat gluten. Can you imagine getting the BEST gluten-free food 3500 meters above Sealevel? Mapunduki made this possible. Each day, he prepared tasty food; I didn't eat the same dish twice. The moment of the summit was incredible, but the moments when we got to eat Mapunduki's food were almost as good :D
I could go on, for example, telling how Benja brought me fresh hot ginger tea when my throat was itching or how Rosa and Abraham impressed me, carrying all our belongings up the mountain.
But the best thing is if you experience it yourself. Just contact Iddy to talk about what you would love to do. He helps you with everything. I want to go back :)

Very reliable and friendly
We were transported from Johannesburg to our accommodation in Sabi Sands, elephant plains safari lodge.
Quite a trip, including a truck crash on the mountain to make it even longer.
Was all completed with no fuss and with good humour. Safari link managed the delays etc to get us here on time for the afternoon safari game drive

Besta Tanzania Safari
We really enjoyed our 5 day northern parks safari with Serengeti African Tiours. We saw lots of birds and animals (big 5 included). By the 4th day we’d seen so many big cats we’d lost count. Highlight was a gathering by the river… a large pride of lions including 6 cubs, a herd of elephants (around 40) and a large herd of buffalo (50+). Our guide Ombeni was great. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was truly impressive. I think he was even more excited at spotting the big 5 than we were. Our kids (13 and 15) thought he was awesome! Let’s be honest, on a once-in-a-lifetime safari like this, having the right guide means everything. If you’re looking for a professional and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor we’d definitely recommend Ombeni and Serengeti African Tours

Great Safari experience thanks to great Tour operator!
I recently spent 9 great days in Kenya with my wife and 2 children. Our trip was tailor-made. We suggested what we would like to see and what kind of vacation we wish, and Classic Explorers (run by Benson and Agnes) made our wishes come true. Since our arrival to Nairobi airport, everything went well, and we experienced Kenyan hospitality and friendliness throughout the whole trip. We visited Elephant and Giraffe Center in Nairobi, had a great dinner in the city, an unforgettable safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and than 3 relaxing days in Diani Beach. During the Safari days we had excellent friendly drivers, full of knowledge and eager to show everything there is to see in the Parks. We managed to see the Great Five thanks to them! The hotels (Sofa Lodges) suggested by Classic were within our moderate budget but the service provided was everything but moderate (spacious rooms, friendly staff, delicious European-style food loved by my children etc.). Summa summarum, if you want a great vacation, go with Classic Explorers!

Wines is extremely kind and thoughtful, and also, very importantly, super easy to communicate with!
We had a tour of Stone Town, a safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and we had a tour of the foothills of Kilimanjaro. Every single person who helped us through the whole journey was extreme kind and considerate and very helpful. We had a great time making friends with everyone and the tour was flawless. We will definitely be coming back and using Psalms Adventures again!

Very reliable operator, great experience, perfect service and communication
We booked a 7D/7N Comfort Safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara as well as visited the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes near Lake Eyasi (not part of the standard offer, but highly recommended). The safari was perfectly organised, we had a great guide (Ernest) with enormous knowledge of zoology and ornithology, a good vehicle and a well thought-through tour. All accomodation was really nice: spacious rooms, good service and tasty food, everything clean and all well functioning. The communication with African Big Cats Safaris was very good and fast in preparation of the trip. In all respects, I can only recommend to travel with African Big Cats Safaris. And of course, I can also only recommend travelling in Tanzania, it's a lovely country, really friendly, helpful and welcoming people, and definitely a wonderful experience one has to have had at least once in a lifetime.
