amazing safari, friendly guides, good accommodation, with an old car ..
the safari was well organized and we were able to adjust everything a little ourselves. the driver and guide were great! The first hotel was especially good! the second was completely ok, the first just a dream. the only bad thing was the car. Unfortunately, the seat belts no longer worked and for the two long journeys it was a bit exhausting without air conditioning. all in all, the tour was highly recommended!

A fantastic experience!
Had an incredible time at Masai Mara with Johnathan as a tour guide and driver. He has expert knowledge of the park and its inhabitants, and graciously attends to every detail. He is also considerate and agreeable. The accommodations at Ashnil Mara camp are luxurious, located in an idyllic setting, and well staffed to the point of excess. Highly recommended! As an aside, if you pick up souvenirs along the way, bring your haggling skills and a keen awareness of value.

Great adventure!!!
My husband and I had 7 days with Mattaw Safaris (Amboseli, Nakaru, and Masai Mara). I decided to book with Mattaw Safaris after I had read very good reviews on SafariBookings. Glad I did. It was very easy to communicate with Bud and easy to book. The whole booking experience was extremely smooth. Our two guides; Charles and Steve were absolutely brilliant! Not only they are very knowledgeable about wildlife but they are also very good drivers! Huge thanks to Charles for getting us safely to Zebra Planes lodge in Amboseli driving through torrential rain on 'no roads' roads (more like a river than roads). What an adventure! Would love to go back for the great migration! Hopefully next year. Thank you Mattaw Safaris!

Accommodating and efficient
We organised the trip via whatsapp then email, and regularly kept fluid and responsive communication with Aron, which was much appreciated.
Aron via phone and Barnice, who accompanied us during the nine day trip were accommodating to our demands, as we had to sometimes leave earlier or later than would be the norm, due to our own working arrangements. Also, Aron provided an internet router free of charge for the trip, I had asked for it and this proved very useful and necessary.
All the trip went smoothly, and we felt supported and listened at when discussing possibilities, alternatives and flexible arrangements, as most of the days we decided the daily plan the night before.
Barnice was a very good guide & travel companion, we (travelling as a couple) especially appreciated that he always gave very realistic transfer time estimates, and drove safely, in addition to this he was engaging and communicative while perfectly respecting privacy and resting times. We usually travel independently, but this time we chose (a first) to have our travel arranged via a tour operator, so with this background the flexibility and adaptability aspect was very important to us.
Our trip started with Lake Mburo, then Queen Elizabeth, Lake Bunyonyi and Mghahinga NP.

Mikumi safari
To get to Mikumi takes whole day from Dar Es by car. So first day we drove to Mikumi and second day we had day-trip in the park. Our guide Obeg was well organised and everything went as planned. Also it is important to understand that you are in Africa and change of plans, time etc is normal - Hakuna Matata. We saw lot of animals and seeing them all close in their natural environment is definitely an experience. Obeg organized our whole journey - by picking us from Dar Es AirPort and taking back to Dar Es - that made our whole trip rather smooth and hassle free.

Amazing Murchison falls
I and my hubby booked a 4day Murchison falls trip, Esther was so helpful in all the arrangement process, email reply was prompt and very knowledgeable. We saw amazing wildlife, high concentration of animals and birds, beautiful sceneries with enormous palm trees thanks to our driver guide Kennedy whose eagle eye made sure we saw a lot than expected. We highly recommend this company and Murchison falls

Great experience
Philemonn from AARDVARK Expeditions LTD organized a beautiful six day Safari for us following exactly our specific whishes. The Tour took us to Tarangire NP which in our opinion should not be overlooked, to the exceptional Serengeti NP as well as to the Ngorongoro crater. Finally, there was also an excursion to the beautiful forest of Lake Manyara. The organization and realisation of the Tour took place in an absolutely professional manner. Our driver and guide Donatus won us with his exceptional ability to find not only, in many cases repeatedly, the "Big Five" (lions, buffaloes, rhinos, leopards and elephants) but also a multitude of other species of fauna and flora of the region. His notions on the matter as well as on the geography of the places and the customs and culture of the peoples of the area, as well as his incredible visual ability, which allowed him to notice animals even at a very long distances and while driving the vehicle, was extremly precious. His friendliness, kindness and his sense of duty aimed at guaranteeing us a unique experience at all costs and his ability to read our wishes from our lips many times even before we had expressed them made this experience truly unforgettable. In this sense we highly recommend Aarkvard expeditions and especially the guide Donatus.

Unhelpful to the max
We booked our trip for 2020. They were very happy to help us select them and arrange the entire trip with them. They highlighted (over and over and over again) that they were a five-star resort, which to me means five-star assistance and service. Then COVID happened and they ignored our requests for help. We did have travel insurance (as they recommended) but they were not interested in helping us with the process. We will NOT be booking our next safari with Kenyazi.
