Totally worth the visit
We were in Tanzania for one week which included a 5 day safari with Safari Soles. It turned out to be a trip of a lifetime. Our tour guide, Simon, was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We saw a huge range of wildlife up close, inclusive of exotic birds. We also visited other attractions including a coffee farm at the foot of Kilimanjaro.
The facilities and food were great across the trip.

Incredible
I did a 4day Safari plus Zanzibar tour with Colours of Africa. My experience with them was awesome. I did a budget safari so we stayed on campsites for a few days. Everything was provided and our safari guide Hassan was very accommodating and informative. A highlight as well was the cook who accompanied us and provided 3 meals a day . We got to see The Big 5 and so much more. We where able to get up close with much of the wildlife. I traveled solo , so the Budget Safari was a great option and it was nice to meet up with other travelers on the tour as opposed to a private one. Be warned though this is not Glamping and Tanzania is still a developing nation so do some research and come prepared.

Excellence on every level and within every detail
Living in California, my husband I are started researching boutique safari travel consultants locally and throughout the US. That's when I learned: the best is yet to come! The Luxury Safari Company (based in UK) exceeded our expectations in every way. And that can be found from initial email correspondence - being timely and responsive (despite time difference) and what i found most appealing, compared to other Providers, curious about OUR needs and desires for our trip, our specific expectations, our time and budget parameters - and really listening and providing options and a beautifully curated itinerary that completely fit the bill. Not having ever traveled in Africa before, it was a pleasant and welcome benefit to have an ambassador from the Luxury Safari Co. meet us in Nairobi Airport and ferry us through customs and more as a resident. Bags quickly on board the waiting vehicle - and off we were as VIPS! The remaining agenda was the same - magical, seamless, no travel headaches for logistics - simply enjoying the true nature of the land and animals, the people, the culture and oh the food! yes - 10 stars if i could! - Eve and Ian

Sensational
I recently had the pleasure of spending some time in Zanzibar with Northern Masailand Safari Tours, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Mister Henry, the trip was nothing short of amazing.
The island of Zanzibar is a true paradise, with crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and lush greenery everywhere you look. I was able to explore the island and all its hidden gems with the help of Mister Henry and his team. They took me on a tour of Stone Town, where I learned about the island's rich history and culture. We also visited some of the local markets, where I was able to sample some of the delicious fresh seafood and spices that Zanzibar is famous for.
One of the highlights of my trip was the snorkeling excursion that Mister Henry organized for us. We got to see some incredible marine life up close, including colorful fish and even a sea turtle! The sunset dhow cruise was also a wonderful experience, as we sailed along the coast, sipping on drinks and taking in the stunning views.
Overall, my time in Zanzibar with Northern Masailand Safari Tours was truly unforgettable, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Mister Henry and his team went above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of the trip was perfect, and I am grateful for the memories that will last a lifetime.

Incredible adventure due to the thoughtfulness of the Tanzania Choice Safari team & guide Leslie!
Thank you to Tanzania Choice Safaris for truly, a trip of a lifetime and then some! Our safari was an experience unlike any other we’ve had made even more memorable by the care and attention of our safari guide Leslie.
We saw everything we hoped to see in addition to many thoughtful surprises orchestrated by Leslie and the rest of the Tanzania Choice team as the trip was also our 40th wedding anniversary celebration. Our anniversary day was during the trip and we were surprised with a banner, flowers, champagne lunch from Tanzania Choice Safaris and serenade with cake from the staff at Heritage Ndutu Camp.
All of our accommodations from the tent camps to the permanent lodges were delightful and everyone we met made us feel totally welcome and comfortable. Meals were plentiful and delicious…we were always full!
Finally, the people of Tanzania were fun to meet and beautiful hosts. The country was even more remarkable than we imagined from the vastness of the Serengeti to the awe-inspiring views of the Ngorongoro Crater, the countryside was as magical as the animals and the people who call it home. Thank you for sharing your country with us.

One of my best trips in life!
The trip organized by Allan was amazing! We went to the Masai Mara (Kenya) Serengeti (Tanzania) , and Ngorongoro s Crater, and Biwindi’s Impenetrable Park (Uganda, and Gorilla Trek and amazing lake lodge). Our lodges were amazing, glamping style, great food, and amazing natural surroundings. We had the best Guides, Bohr, Agustine, and Leo. We were a party of two and had the jeep to our selves the whole trip. Such a memorable trip! Totally worth while and life changing :)

Authentic, off the beaten path, familiar and exciting!
My experience traveling with Tarakwai Safaris tour was as authentic, familiar, non-pretentious, exciting and well priced as it gets.
My trip was organized by locals with great taste and the consciousness for animals, lands and people of Tansania.
Tarakwai offers a diverse and wide range of trips across the country. Anything is possible and it's so easy to communicate with them.
Their European and Canadian background also helps understanding travelers and their needs from all across the world.
Enjoy!

Professional, reliable and good value.
We had a great 3-day Safari to Selous National Park and would highly recommend Migration Venture Africa. They were professional, reliable and good value for money. Amos, who we organised the tour with, was always very quick to respond and answered all our questions.
The accommodation was very good and in an amazing location.
Our driver / guide Gilbert had really excellent knowledge about the wildlife of the area, especially birds which was important to us. He was a very good driver and an experienced and professional guide with excellent communication skills. Gilbert's friendliness and knowledge ensured that our first African safari was a truly amazing experiance.

A very memorable East Africa trip, thanks to Discover Africa!
Discover Africa organized an amazing 11 day trip for us to Masai Mara, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Southern Serengeti/Ndutu. It was our first trip to Africa, and thanks to the wonderful experience, we are definitely coming back for more. Our tour planner was Vihann. After an initial consultation to understand our interests, Vihann put together a few options for us to pick from. Throughout the process, he was very flexible and adjusted the tour a few times to meet our specific needs. Of all the tour operators we spoke to, Discover Africa was the only one that was able to get us the tour we wanted while still staying within our budget. They did a great job at minimizing travel time between the various lodges we stayed in - this was something other tour operators failed to do to this extent. We stayed at Kichwa Tembo in Masai Mara, Serena lodge in Ngorongoro, and at Lemala Ndutu Mobile camp in Serengeti. Highly highly recommend all of these places, especially Kichwa Tembo and Lemala if you want the authentic safari lodge experience. We were blown away by the hospitality throughout the trip. Our tour guides were patient, knowledgeable and planned each safari carefully. We got a private vehicle and tour guide for 6/9 days we were on Safari in Tanzania. Our guide, Ebenezer (Ben), played a big big role in making our trip memorable - highly recommend asking for Ben to be your tour guide. Our safari vehicles were great as well - rugged, reliable, well-equipped (refrigerator, chargers etc.), and spacious! Overall, highly highly recommend Discover Africa for your Africa travel plans!
