Top Notch
we booked the two day/one night Tsavo east and west safari with Unscripted safaris. I emailed Jeremy several times and he was happy and quick to reply. We were picked up on time from our hotel and taken to the office in Nairobi to settle the bill with. Our driver was very friendly, and knowledgable about both the wildlife and the area/geography/history. We stayed over night at the Ngulia lodge, where Unscripted Safaris made sure we got a balcony room overlooking the water hole with the elephants!
Everything about the Safari was AMAZING. It was well organized and I always felt safe. The itinerary was a great blend of culture, nature and city. We were lucky to see most of the big five.. I would recommend Unscripted safaris to anyone looking for a Safari in Kenya.

Professional, competent, and fun. Safety was a priority.
My family of 5 were part of a group from Singapore and Malaysia who were in Tanzania from 5-19 August 2016. There were 26 of us in 4 land cruisers on safari initially. Mathew Mollel, who runs Wild Roots, personally welcomed us at the airport and drove us on safari. They were always on time - at the airport and for the morning pickups on safari - and happy to accede to all our little tourist requests. Knowledgeable, friendly and very proficient in English, which is not always a given. Safari was non-stop activity, driver-guides committed to finding animals. We managed to see the Big 5. We were well fed!
We smoothly transitioned to the 8-day trek on Kilimanjaro using the Rongai route. Chief guides Paul and Julius led our group of 29 climbers supported by 12 other guides, 3 cooks, 7 personal porters and 90 general porters. All the guides were professional, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They were firm where necessary - especially enforcing pole pole movement to achieve progressive acclimatization to altitude. Their expertise and commitment resulted in 28/29 of us reaching the summit by 8am. (The one person who didnt summit turned back after just 100m from base camp.) The journey out to Marangu Gate on the last day was a 19km trek and we had a range of runners to limpers. However, every group was accompanied by a guide to ensure our safety and welfare. So we were able to have everyone - the 29 exhilarated climbers, 14 guides and 100 plus porters - have the final celebration party at Marangu Gate before driving back to Arusha. Mathew and his team were with us right to end, sending the various groups leaving at different times to the airport. At all times we felt we were in good and responsible hands.
Thank you Wild Roots for a memorable adventure holiday!

3 Days Safari
We were in a 3-days Safari this month and we were absolutely satisfied with their service! We chose Serengeti and Ngorongoro and we are very happy with our selection! We saw all the big five and many other beautiful animals! We had the best driver ever, Joseph, he helped us a lot, and made our safari a beautiful and unforgetable experience! We can’t thank him enough for his ospitality and care! He learned us a lot of interesting things about wildlife and also, about the tanzanians’ life! We were so lucky to have him as our guide! Also, Peter, the owner of the company, helped us to design our safari days as we wished and took care of our needs, and also he kept in touch with us even after the safari days were over, just to make sure that we arrived at the airport safe and sound! I truly recommand BestDays Safari from the buttom of my heart! They were awsome!

Ultimate Safari with Sino Africa Safari
We had a unforgettable safari with Sino Africa Safari. Our safari specialist Mr Jong invited us to review for them, and I said of course to him, because it was 9 days 8 nights safari, everything was good. We visited Mara, Nakru, Navash, Amseli, and another park forgot the name. It was fantastic experience!

Reliable and trustworthy
I would have no hesitation in recommending Unscripted Safaris and Paul especially. Every email was responded to within hours (not days like some companies), my inquiries were adequately answered and Paul made it very easy for me to plan and book what I wanted to do and customized everything.

They are professional and gave us good advice for our first safari to Africa. We compared their quotation also, and their quotation was competitive. Our hotels were all luxury, and african style. Our driver guide was Masai, he was a funny person, responsible, always keep our vehcile neat, knowledgable about wildlifes, and very handsome. We had enjoyed our safari with this company.

Exceptional, Knowledgeable, Friendly
Because I live in Washington Dc, and this was my first time booking a safari. I had so many questions that needed answers asap. So when I reached out to unscripted Tours, and someone responded back in less then a day. Lewis was the one who responded back via whats app, and from then on he literally answered all my questions day or night. He helped us find accommodation that met our needs, and explaining each hotel, no matter how many different ones I showed him pictures of, he was very patient and helpful, and has exceptional knowledge, and customer service skills. Once we arrived in Kenya, Anthony picked us up from Unscripted Tours with our name printed on a board, letting us know who he was. We choose a private tour, with the option of having a land cruiser instead of a van. The land cruiser was very comfortable, spacious and clean, and they also provided us with gifts that were blankets that came in handy throughout the tour. We stopped off at the Office to finalize our payments then headed to Lake Nakuru. We stayed at the Nakuru – Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge. Which was a very nice hotel. The next day we headed to Masa Mara, and stayed at the Mara Serena Lodge. The drive there is very bumpy and is 7hrs away from lake Nakuru, hence thats why it's alot more comfortable to have the land cruiser instead of the van. While on the game day tours Anthony always made sure we were safe, and comfortable. He also made sure we saw every animal in the safari, and I mean everyone. He was always very punctual, informative, and very nice. Not to mention on our last day of the tour we wanted to go see Girffaes at the Sanctuary, where we could feed and touch them. He literally drove us 7hrs straight without stopping just so we could make it before they closed. He also took us to get souvenirs before dropping us back to our hotel. In all as a first experience Unscripted Tours was exceptional, and their staff is so friendly, professional, and they all go above and beyond in order to insure your happiness.

Overall great experience and would recommend these guys to anyone planning to visit Tanzania!
