Wonderful Air balloon and safari experience
Incredible morning that we had a balloon adventures and we planned for a game drive safari. We also had Michael as driver early in the morning, he was nice and we had a lovely chat. Once arrived at the destination there where proper toilets, coffee/ tea and a seat heating if you were feeling cold. The captains of the balloons were very involved and explaining the instructions and what the planning was. Moses was our captain and was very friendly. We got an amazing view of the sunrise with many animals around us. It was worth every penny. Once back on the ground we got nice story and a drink. After that a small game drive until we came at our breakfast tent, which was beautiful with so much food. Our safari guide was very knowledgeable and helpful! Well organized and learned so much about culture, environment and animals. Great company! Food and accommodation was excellent! A photographer who made pictures for you and later get it in your email is really great as I was there by myself. Thank you Amshar Serengeti Adventures for the wonderful morning and the game drive safari and balloon too.

Wonderful Safari experience in a familial atmosphere.
We did an overnight stay in the tented camp in Pretoriuskop and a full day game drive in the open vehicle.
The owners, Hilda & Netto are very nice people and perfect hosts.
Their camp is kept in a simple way but there was nothing we missed.
The small tents are perfectly equiped, very clean and cosy.
Sleeping there under the African sky was a great experience.
We could hear all the sounds of a bush-night.
The food was excellently cooked by Hilda.
It was a lovely evening around the fire.
The game drive was very lovely and we got lots of information from the guide on every sighting.
A nice breakfast was provided during the drive.
All over we got much more than we could have had expected for this little money.
Thank you so much Hilda and Netto.
We will come back for sure.

Fraud!!!
We booked a 6-day climb to Kilimanjaro via Rongai with Mr. Michael Kosani, through our friend from Zanzibar.
We have agreed to pay a deposit of 700 USD (100/per person). However, a few weeks later, Michael requested for another deposit (half of the total amount).
We didn't agree with that, as Michael was requesting more and more everytime we spoke.
After a while Michael had a problem with our friend from Zanzibar, (as they knew each other from before and could not agree on the money split), because of which he decided to cancel the trip. We agreed and requested the return of the deposit as WE WERE NOT THE ONES WHO CANCELLED.
Michael promised to send the of the deposit back, which has not happened up to date. For three months now, he's been making excuses that he's in the middle of a Safari and doesn't have access to a bank. I definitely do not recommend this company because of him.
In case any problems arise, you will find that MR. MICHAEL IS A FRAUD!

Adventure Travel
Speke Uganda Holidays made my trip worry free. Everything was well organized and professional. My guide and hotel were four star service. I recommend this company for gorilla trekking in Uganda. It was a spectacular adventure.

Best experience in our lives!!!
We booked our first safari with Zohar, without knowing anything about this type of experiences. From the first moment we inquired Neema, one of the responsibles was super attentive, explained and solved all of our doubts. We hired a private one with 4 days duration visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. The vehicle was in super condition and Leonard our driver made everything during all the game drives to see the animals, and he succeded greatly due its +9 years of experience, what a breathtaking trip... We saw all the animals and some of them very very close!!! Amazing. The Lodges Zohar booked for us were above the expected, amazing locations, super friendly personnel and delicious food. In a few words, book with them, they are the all great package and will make you live a wonderful experience. Will book again for sure. Greetings to all the team!

Amazing, trustworthy, and professional operator!!!
My wife and I went on our honeymoon to Tanzania and Zanzibar in August 2022 for 2.5 weeks.
When researching luxury safari options, I found Aadvark Expeditions run by Philemon Joel. They offered pretty much the same luxury packages as other operators but for a more reasonable price and is being run by locals rather than a US company.
Speaking and arranging the plan for the 6/7 day safari was seamless, with Philemon Joel super cooperative and extremely responsive over WhatsApp. I was initially concerned with sending money over a wire 30 days before arriving, but after some more research I found this to be typical for this industry (as they need the money to book the Safari). In fact, Philemon Joel, agreed to accept 50% wire and the other 50% in cash on arrival. Philemon Joel also provided references from other tourists from my country which was great!
In addition, Philemon Joel was super flexible when it came to creating the perfect trip for our honeymoon.
Donatas, our driver, was incredible! He was super flexible with regards to times leaving for game drives and made a lot of extra effort to ensure we saw the best animals (including the elusive cheetahs and leopards) and had the best experience possible.
Also when our trip ended Philemon Joel was eager to collect feedback for how he can improve the experience for future tourists.
I can’t recommend enough using these guys! This was an unforgettable experience!!! If we get the chance to do this again, we will certainly go with Aadvark Expeditions!

Well organised, fantastic tour and services, great value for money. Would recommend!
We booked this safari only two days before going due to an issue with a different operator. We were very impressed. There was good communication with fast responses from Biubwa who was helping arrange it.
Our tour guide Filex was fantastic and worked hard to show us all the animals we wanted to see. The wildlife and scenery was incredible and the safari truck was comfortable.
The food provided and accommodation was good too and there was a constant supply of refreshments. The flights to and from the safari park were on a reputable airline.
Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Budget Safari Zanzibar.

Amazing luxury safari with great guide William
We booked with Gosheni after learning that they won the award for the best Tanzanian safari company in 2021 and after our experience I can tell you that they totally deserve their award.
Our safari was very well organised by Peter, we stayed in really beautiful accommodations that provided very good food every day and accommodated for my wife’s Gluten intolerance without any problem.
Our guide William is very knowledgeable, very friendly, and speaks English very well. He’s also a very good driver and was always flexible to modify our itinerary according to our preferences. You want to go very early, no problem, you want to go late next day, no problem, it’s all as you want it to be.
We got to see pretty much all the wild animals of Tanzania.
