This trip is very well organised, and George the driving is cool and stop as we want to take picture
The service is excellent, and the parks are all various with many lions, girafes,zebras,hipo, gnous,elelephants and small animals also as cervals,genettes etc...the land is peacefull. The timing is ok and lodges are fantastics. The change money is complicated to manage, dollar is better small change.

Long transfer
we were not prepared that it would take 7 hours by bus after the boat crossing.
The hotel we stayed at - by the Mikumi park - was not equipped for all 10 of us, for example they didn't have enough food
Nice walk inside the park itself

Great Masai Mara and Lakes Tour
Had an amazing time on a 4 day safari in the Masai Mara and visiting lakes Nakuro and Naivasha. Our guide Andrew was great, he was very friendly, knowledgeable and we managed to see all the big five animals and much more!

The positive reviews are true. Thais is a trustworthy operator who takes care and knows what he does
Based on the good reviews we decided for this operator and a group safari over three days with Serengeti and ngorogoro crater. We chose the luxurious option and it was totally worth it. At night it was cold and a tent was not enough for us.
The Serengeti has a lot of animals and you can see almost the complete big 5 on the first day. Our driver Emanuel knew the best places and drove quickly and safely. In addition, he was able to explain a lot about the animals, so that our three-day safari flew by. You always start at seven in the morning and you need a sweater then. During the day it is always warm.
After our landing in Arusha we were picked up by the operator Emanuel (yes the names are the same) and brought to the hotel. There the briefing took place and we paid directly everything in cash in dollars. In Germany, the communication went smoothly via WhatsApp.
The tented lodges are very comfortable and in ngorogoro crater we were even in a real hotel on top level with views over the crater from the room.
Lunch at the campsites was balanced, warm and delicious. From the lodges you can also take lunch boxes. In the evenings in the accommodations there were large buffets.
We could also spontaneously visit a Maasai village, which was not booked before and then cost 10 dollars. In return, we were allowed to take as many photos and videos as we wanted. In addition, one jumps with them and and can be explained by them in their huts their life.
All staff was very nice and there were no communication problems. You hear a lot about tipping and our operator said directly that they don't expect tips. However, we tipped upon departure from each lodge and upon return in Arusha. Any amount is possible. Recommended is at least $10 per safari participant per day each to the driver and cook. We tipped more because we were so satisfied. Both dollars and shillings were no problem. Euros are also possible, but the people in Tanzania have little use for them.
We were extremely satisfied with Crater Explorer, Tours and Safaris and I recommend this operator if you do not want to worry and enjoy the animals and nature.

Perfect. Brought everything together seamlessly
From the moment of first contact Matthew was brilliant at bringing all my plans and requirements together and suggesting tweaks that made my travel seamless and enjoyable.
Tour went exactly as planned with local transfers perfectly on time and great drivers. Accommodation was precisely as booked.
Communication was always very prompt and any queries I may have had were immediately addressed.
Absolutely no hesitation in using their services again.

Reliable and legit tour operator.
Arthur was reliable and trustworthy. We had a great experience in Zimbabwe. I would have enjoyed more tips about best places to do shopping and local meals to try.

With Walking Stick Safari and Tours you come as close to the bush as possible
5 years ago we spent 4 wonderful days in Okawango Delta with Walking Stick Safari and Tours, and this time we had 5 days, one as awesome as the other. Exciting game drives with lions, cheetas and leopards (not to mention elephants, hippos, crocs and all kinds of birds we were especially interested in), nice campsites with just the two of us and Philimon and his crew in the midth of Moremi Game Reserve. Philimon is a guide extraordinaire and great guy to talk to. He and his colleagues took care of us in any possible way including great cooking. We enjoyed every second we could spent with these guys in the breathtaking bush of Okawango Delta. Thank you so much, Walking Stick Safari and Tours!
