wonderful wildlife - quite an adventure
The safari experience was great - wonderful, incredible wildlife - 2 day Masai Mara trip (overnight camp) and half day in Nairobi National Park - saw everything we wanted to see. Peter, our driver, looked after us well and he was very skilled at both driving off road and in finding the wildlife. Minor quibble, but water and T shirt was not provided despite being specified - check with owner, Mr Otieno, very carefully what is included and not included in the price.

2 days Pilanesberg Safari
We made 2 days Pilanesberg Safari with Chris, it was just great as we saw plenty of animals. His truck is clearly of added value as it is perfectly equiped. Chris knows very much about the bush and is willing to share his knowledge. We just regret that the catering plans changed in the course of the safari.
I clearly recommend Armadillo as it's a guarantee to have a great safari experience.

Fantastic safari managed by excellent people in an amazing place
we had a fabulous trip with the Elisante's gestion. The guide was fantastic and the majority of the hotels were well or very well. My husband and I went alone in a car and it was a fantastic experience.
the worst thing was to pay there in cash (the safari), a lot of money in our pocket

Organized
Kiliholidays, superbly organized custom safaris are the finest way to experience the exhilaration of being on a wildlife safari in Tanzania. I know of no finer adventure than being in the wilds of Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara or in Tarangire National Park. Our guides clearly love their jobs and the depth of their knowledge and their sense of fun will impress anyone. Our guides were consummate professionals. Their energetic dedication to finding superb wildlife-viewing adventures and to teaching about the natural beauty was legendary. Whether you are simply standing in the back of the Land Cruiser to marvel at an animal, or are working with your camera, video or binoculars, our guides were constantly attentive to our comfort, to the environment around us and to the angle of each person's view. They taught us constantly as we traveled through Tanzania and you will find them to be entertaining and skilled.

Experience with Wild Africa
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Africa for the first time and as an overall experience it was very good. We were however disappointed with the travelling arrangements in South Africa. A min-bus is just not big enough for some one 195 cm tall. The Cullinan in Cape Town whilst a good place to stay for a short business trip is not really suitable for tourists. We were very disappointed with the Kigio Conservancy, so much so that we cut short our stay there and went into Nairobi at our cost instead. Also stated travel times in the itinerary for East Africa were nothing like the actual times taken. Apart from Kigio the service we received everywhere was first class.

A well planned afternoon with many native animal sightings.
My son and I had only half a day to experience a safari in Tanzania. Simba Adventures gave us an enjoyable experience in which we saw a number of baboons, water buffalo, and flamingos as well as many other monkeys species. Our hike brought us through beautiful forest terrain, with waterfalls and unique trees. Simba furnished us with a good lunch and the transported us to the airport for our departure. Everything was well coordinated and enjoyable.

6 day/5 night Safari - 4 parks - with children
We had a great trip with KET, we covered a lot of group and did Samburu, Abedere, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with three children aged 6, 8 and 10, they loved it. In an ideal world we would have taken more time as it was a lot of time in the car, but we didn't have more time and on balance we are pleased we saw so much with each park having such different landscapes and animals. Our Guide/driver was great, very knowledgeable and fun and patient with the children. All the places we stayed were lovely and generally exceeded our expectations. The only slight gripe with that the car, an old land cruiser, was pretty old and some more suspension was wished for at times, plus there weren't seat belts in the back for all of us so we weren't totally happy about that, but it didn't break down and the viewing hatch worked well, so it did the job. I was a bit uneasy as I only found these people on trip advisor and I transferred all the money out in advance, but they were great and it was nice to think that they are a Kenyan company and hopefully all our money is staying in Kenya and not going to some international operator.

Exciting and Value for money
Some years ago I had the pleasure to go for a safari with Simba Adventures. I went to a few different companies and asked for itinerary and prices and the one that sounded to be most value for money was Simba. I must admit I was a bit sceptical that they would deliver everything they promised since it was a really good bargain. They even gave me a free night in Arusha. We went to a Lake and to Ngorongoro and they not only delivered what they had promised but so much more. My vacation actually turned into a permanent stay in East Africa and after many tours and safaris I still consider this to be one of the most valuable for the money I paid. I can mention that on the return to Arusha was a public holiday but Ally, the owner, actually contacted me and made sure everything had been ok. That is customer care and I can without any doubt recommend Simba Adventures
Tres bien / Very good
Very good, i enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for celebrating my birth day at Golongolo crater.

Beautiful
My first time in Africa has been a magnificent one. SAD, the tour operator, suggested a fly and drive tour across the Rainbow Nation that absolutely lived up my expectations. The first week they organized for me and my family a safari tour inside and outside the Kruger Park, while the second one was focused on Cape Town and its surroundings. I have to admit that I was a little worried before leaving Italy for all the bad news concerning crime in RSA but right now I've got only wonderful memories of my staying as well as a lot of pictures. The organization provided me with nice hotels, affordable car rentals, on time flights. In other words, if I come back in Africa again, South Africa Dream Tours Ltd will be my partner.
