The unforgettable tour in my life
I just returned from a 10 days holiday in Uganda for a few days,i took a tour to a beautiful Bwindi National park in Uganda from Entebe.
My guide Chris,couldn't be any more kind and reliable,the encounter with the gorilla family in the park was just one of the most amazing thing i have ever done in my whole life.I recommend doing this kind of trip 100% with the guys.
Thank you Bridget and Chris and NATIVE AFRICA TOURS as well for making this trip just unforgettable for me.

Very friendly and care of customers like an engles
Communication was so comfortable because they do speak many languages. Service wise I was treated as VIP because I took private tour so it was so comfortable with service accommodations and the tour in full details with pleasure.

Scam
We agreed for 4 days(3 nights) in Masai mara but after we have arrived it turned out that we only have two nights there. 1 day less that it supposed to be. The other thing is that on the first day we’ve been on the game drive only for 2h, next day was full game drive but on the third day there was no drive at all so from 4 days we only spent 2 in the park.

CHEATER
Benard Nzavi is a cheater, we agreed for 5days safari, paid for extra day, but when we came at the safari camp we got informed that we have only 3nights!
He stole our receipt when he was counting the money to get our proof!
Also didnt want to show his copy of a receipt, be aware of this SCUM!!!

A Very Good Experience
Raja tours was responsive to our inquiry. We made at least 5 inquiries during our search and Raja seemed to be the most reasonable. We sorta went blindly due to our short turnaround but ultimately it went better than we thought.
The tour guide and driver (Hassan) was a pure delight. He picked us up at home and got us to Selous Game Park. It was about a 5 hour drive there and back to Dar Es Salaam. We stopped along the way which was a bit odd for us during COVID but we went along with it. It was fine and we stayed distant. The game drive my was awesome. We saw everything, lions, hippos, giraffes, you name it.
The lodge we stayed at was spectacular. The Selous Lodge. It was much better than we expected. Very clean and inviting. The decorations were great and the bar and restaurant were so well kept. 5 stars. The swimming pool was a nice surprise. Quick mention for everyone is that the power goes out at 2230 each night and the heat inside the rooms was heat punishing. It was tough to sleep but fine nonetheless. The food was great and so were the people.
All in all, it was wonderful.

The best experience so far
My review is based on low season experience, so high season experience might be different.
It's really hard to choose safari operator as there are so many of them.
My criteria numer one was flexibility - I wanted to start safari whenever I want and I wanted to be able to modify it when its ongoing.
My first contact was Alex, the owner of Mama Savana.
He responds to all messages in a few minutes, it's incredible.
He assured me that I will be able to modify the trip whenever I want - and it was true :)
Our base plan was 5-days safari: Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro
As it was really the very low season, almost all of the time we were alone in most places and we had amazing encounters.
We have seen a family of lions hunting and then eating pregnant zebra.
It was very brutal, but so exciting..
After day 3, we asked to extend the safari by lake Natron - it was not a problem at all.
The road between Serengeti and Natron is very long (maybe 10 hours) but so beautiful.
Joseph stopped anywhere we asked.
On lake Natron we did hike together to the waterfall - another amazing experience!
After 6-days of safari we decided that we want more and we did additional 3-day safari - Kondoa paintings, Tarangire and Hadza tribe.
Everything was great, especially Hadza tribe.
I think Joseph must be the best safari guide on the planet.
Joseph has eagle-sight and he actually sees better without binoculars than us with binoculars.
He must have some additional eye on his head spotting distant animals.
He also has incredible knowledge about wildlife and he speaks English VERY well as well as Spanish.
After 9 days together he was like a friend or a part of the family.
Thank you very much for whole Mama Savana team - especially Joseph and Alex.
We will be back in the dry season :)

Great Safari Company
We had the extreme pleasure of doing a safari with Inno Africa Safari. This company is top notch. Not only did the pick up from Kilimanjaro international airport, but Inno, the owner greeted me and my family personally to make sure we are happy with their service

Everything was more than perfect! 100%
We had the most incredible experience with Trip Quest. Our guide was David, a truly amazing guy with so much knowledge about nature and animals and years of experience. Just by looking at the animal, he knew exactly what mood the animal is in, what direction it will go, will it it will run away and how soon. Also, his vision is amazing, he can spot EVERYTHING from miles away. Very professional, smart and has the most interesting stories. He also knows every corner of Serengeti, all the less known routs and he tries hard to give you the best experience.
We saw The Big 5, and so much more then that!
The whole process of organization was very smooth, Martin is the most patient guy ever and is happy to answer all your questions, no matter how silly.
All in all, you want to book your safari with Trip Quest, trust me.

Ol pejeta Conservancy was the best I have done when it comes to local safaris.....
Timely pick ups & drop offs, a well informed tour guide and pocket friendly rates is what makes me choose Bovid Africa again and again..
