Excellent and reliable services
"Travelling during Covid is challenging. It therefore felt good to have a knowledgeable and up to date partner like Obrey Safaris aside to plan and make this trip happen.
Glad we did the Serengeti during Covid as the destination would have certainly felt too busy in a regular year. May is further a lovely time to visit. Nature is lush and green, flowers in bloom, and there are many little ones amongst the herds. Rain was no problem at all as rainfalls did either occur at night or did hardly last for more than half an hour before the sun came through again.
The morning mist and the cloudy skies added a special atmosphere, while the bush babies kept us warm at night.
The itinerary was well balanced and met all our expectations ! Thank you Redempta :)

Great Tour, Great Itinerary, Great Guide
Two of us signed up with Maranatha tours with the primary goal of seeing Mountain Gorillas in Uganda. We accomplished our goal and had a great experience while in country. Bwindi is some distance from Entebbe/Kampala, where we landed, and so we started the adventure with a visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park, passing across the equator along the way. Our driver/guide filled us in on the areas we passed through - the people, the geography, the history, the industry, the politics, etc. We enjoyed a nice boat ride, game drive and vistas while visiting the park. Our path to Bwindi from there took us through different sectors of the park and various low-travelled areas, which lead to additional animal sitings and views of the countryside. The experience in Bwindi was fantastic, and though we had quite a tough hike to reach our designated gorilla family, we did meet them and spend some time observing the group.
Pre-covid, we had planned to go from Bwindi to Volcanoes in Rwanda, for a golden monkey trek and departure from Kigali. Due to travel restrictions, we ended up trekking to see golden monkeys in Mgahinga National Park in Uganda. We also successfully tracked a golden monkey group and had a great experience there. The primary downside was the length of travel to get from there back up to Kampala/Entebbe for departure. We did break up the trip with a stop overnight in Mburo national park. We had a lovely evening and game drive the next day before making our way back to the city for departure.
All in all, Daniel put together a fantastic itinerary. All of the accommodations were excellent, and the food was fresh and tasty. We particularly enjoyed the staff and chef and Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge in Bwindi - very friendly, extremely accommodating, and delicious meals! Our guide John Bob was friendly, prompt, and very knowledgeable. He told us some great stories and really gave us a great feel for his country, the people, and the animals. He is also a great driver and put in a lot of miles!
Overall we had a wonderful experience and Daniel, John Bob, and the team at Maranatha did an excellent job with the itinerary and travel arrangements. Everything went off without a hitch (including the additional Covid testing requirements), and we had a fantastic experience!

A very enjoyable, well organised experience
I'm currently staying in Tanzania for 6 weeks on a volunteer placement and have always wanted to do a safari. I wanted something that would allow me to see Africa at its best whilst also being affordable and kind to my budget. Collins, the organiser, was really helpful and managed to get me booked on (I also booked last minute and was still able to find a tour). The guide, Moses, was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about all of the animals. He went out of his way to make sure that we were enjoying our time and getting the best from our tour. The accommodation was amazing. The rooms were both large and clean. Everything you needed was provided and the hotel staff were very helpful. All in all, a very enjoyable experience, ran very professionally. Thank you Collins and Moses :)

Ombeni is nothing less than the most perfect tour guide I've ever had!!!
Gosheni Safaris was great from the moment I was in communication with Peter to the day we landed in Arusha! Our tour guide picked us up and took us to our hotel where we relaxed before the start of the first day of our safari. We did the 5-day luxury package and it truly is a luxurious experience and it could have only been so with the great execution of our guide Ombeni! The entire experience was 100% worth every dollar I spent and I definitely will come back again, as long as Ombeni is my guide! I was told from online sources to go into the safari with low expectations because nature does its own thing and there's a chance that you won't see much, but honestly, if you have an experienced tour guide like Ombeni, you will see more than you could imagine. I never in my life imagined seeing the wildlife that I saw, while also being so close!
Amazing IAA!!
My family and I had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania in mid-January; we had an amazing experience and an unforgettable one, thanks to Incredible Africa Adventures! We had the best guide Joseph that was very attentive, spoke good English and made our trip wonderful, full of laughs. Incredible Africa Adventures is the best option, they treated us wonderfully, we had excellent food with wine, unlimited water, the camps and hotels were incredible and the car was superb amazing! We had the opportunity to see the Big Five all thanks to our incredible guide Joseph that put all the effort on it! Thank you very much Incredible Africa Adventures team!

Buck list done right!!
I've been planning this buck list trip for 3 years - only 4 of the 10 of us decided to go for it during COVID; we are so glad we did! From arriving in Moshi to leaving Zanzibar we had an amazing time - Vicky took care of planning the entire vacation. Thank you to Lameck, our guide up the mountain, and his team for getting us to the top at sunrise! They did an amazing job. I highly recommend him and Jonathan - you will not regret anything. The 4 day safari was next - Jeph picked us up at the Serengeti airport and within minutes we saw so much. If you are planning on the Serengeti you must request Jeph, he found all the big 5 plus so much more! The lodging for the safari was also more than we could have asked for. I have friends going next year - I wish I could go again!

Great experience!!
We found the agency online on our last days prior to visiting Zanzibar and we had a limited time for safari.
We booked two days in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. Collins was able to fullfill our requests and promt to answering at any time at the day. He would give us all the necessary information and keep up with us everyday. The tour was fantastic and the guide always eager to find the animals for us. Not to say that the acommodation was fantastic as well!! I would recommend him. Looking forward to our next time in Africa.

A Safari of a life-time
It is not every time you come across a company that takes your needs seriously. At first, Animal World Safaris clearly provided us with several itinerary options to choose from. They were very cooperative in making changes. What followed was a safari of a life-time. Here is why. We started with Giraffe Manor in Nairobi. On getting to Maasai Mara, we enjoyed so much that we wanted to stay for 3 days as opposed to one day. Our lodge was really great with excellent views of the park from a hill. With magical morning and night drives, we wanted more and they provided us. Throughout our safari in Kenya and Tanzania, we were treated by professional staff, friendly and kind drivers and guides. We could even order different kinds of food with no hustle. Again, when it came to Mt. Kilimanjaro, our driver gave us great tops and helped us shop for the right gears since we had not carried.

True Professionals in Africa Safaris
Best experience I have ever had in a safari. First, is the facilities provided by Dallago tours. I am talking about Accommodation, food, and transport. We were a group of 7 friends and we got the best. Hotels, lodges and food, I give them 10/10. On transport, considering we visited three countries, this company did us proud. we had a landcrusier all through the parks, and we even go chartered flights severally. All these are things we order during our booking and were delivered. Their guides are super kind, intelligent and outgoing, which enabled us to interact with them constantly and learn so much about the animals and culture. I recommend Dallago Tours Kenya- Tanzania.
