Excellent experience and professional crew
We went for a 7nights/8 days circuit in the south of Tanzania (Mikuni, Ruaha and Selous) with Jadore Safari.
Koen was super reactive from the start and replied to any questions and request super promptly.
The team we had for the trip consisted of Paul and Anwar who where both super knowledgeable, funny and willing to stand up for us when problems occurred.
The car was a properly sized Land Cruiser in good condition and equipment.
So it was a really pleasant experience for our trip and we recommend them gladly.

Fantastic experience! Highly recommended!
Lion King rocks! We are a family of 5 that went on a 9 day/8 nights (7 full days in the parks) mid-range safari with Lion King Adventures in late December 2022. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara and had an amazing time! We booked directly with Lion King and the communication was quick and efficient, especially Pendo in the office is doing a fantastic job! Payment was bank transfer via Wise which worked smoothly. Lion King also arranged accommodation before and after the safari. Our guide/driver Gala was amazing- super calm and relaxed, friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, a great spotter and skilled off-road driver (driving in the mud in Ndutu was seriously challenging - many cars got stuck, but not ours). Make sure to stay at Embalakai Camp in Serengeti, best food on the trip! In summary, highly recommended!

Very good touroperator, we had a great trip with Azas safaris
While visiting Uganda for work we planned a short 3-day safari trip with Azas Safari's. Before booking we had compared several tour operators, but Azas promised to deliver the best value for money. Communication went smooth via whatsapp and the communication the contract and handling of the payment gave us an assuring feeling.
We had an amazing trip, with Christopher as the best guide! Everything was well arranged, we loved the car we travelled with. Christopher explained so much about the wildlife, specific animals, the area we were travelling, and about Uganda. He friendly and politely helped us where possible and is a very good driver. What we really appreciated is that Christopher was very flexible in making a few changes in the plan of the trip while travelling, to ensure there would be sufficient time for us to explore everything.

wonderful experience, the guide very prepared and friendly. Very good location despite the last one.
4 Days Safari in Serengeti l, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. The guide Isaac very prepared, helpful and nice. Excellent Italian and excellent driving skills. We were lucky enough to see everything that was possible thanks to his preparation and experience in the area. New, clean accommodations with nice, friendly staff. The only flaw, the organization of the last transfer to the hotel near the airport. Hotel itself a bit subdued compared to the others. Overall a great experience!

Comprehensive package and amazing experience in all we did
We did a 4 day safari tour, which included Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national parks. The company also helped us massively with all the logistics - picking us up from the airport upon arrival, additional tours in Kilimanjaro National parks before we started safari , giving us a lift to Moshi to begin our next part of the journey.
We had a driver/guide (Frank) and a cook (Emmanuel) with us on the safari and both of then have done an amazing job. Frank was extremely knowledgeable and had an answer to any question we asked. Emmanuel cooked us multiple course breakfasts/lunches and dinners no matter where we were located (in a restaurant or in the middle of a National park), all food was incredible and very diverse - to provide for all tastes and requirements.
Frank knew all the tricks to get the best out of safari - so we managed to be the first car in Ngorongoro to see a family of lions waking up in 3 metres from us.
The campsites we stayed were very good - they had even showers and wifi in the middle of nowhere! The last night stay was in a lodge, which was very luxurious for a camping trip! Overall, highly recommend this experience and the company - it was a lifetime experience for all of us.
If there is one thing that I would like Luxuri safaris to change, it would be a slight upgrade in the tents and the sleeping bags - it was quite cold up there on the Ngorongoro crater.
Thank you so much - the crew we travelled with and the company that organised for it!

Friendly Informative and helpful everything they could do to make our tour awesome was done
Organised the gorilla tour with NSAVI and then our airline cancelled our flight so we arrived about 6 hours later than expected to the hotel in Entebbe and much to my surprise and delight Vicki and Francis where there at the hotel to meet us and make sure we arrived safely and were looked after when we did. The hotel was awesome with a well needed sundowner shared with our guide and Vicki before a briefing about our adventure the next day.
Francis was awesome on the long drive from Entebbe to Bwindi stopping when we needed to so we could take photos and look at the amazing scenery and wildlife. We stopped at a local village and sampled some local foods before continuing on.
Overnight at Ichumbi Lodge and a bit of walk and leg stretch through the nearby local village meeting some of the local youngsters built an appetite for a delicious dinner.
Next morning up early and a short drive before arriving at the jump off point Francis arranged guides and let us know about the costs and who and how much to tip making it so easy to relax and enjoy the whole event.
The walk in to the jungle was not overly difficult and the gorilla family was accommodating meeting us half way and the we got to spend a wonderful hour with the silver-back gorilla and his family.
At the end we got to enjoy a free African back massage that would enthral 4wd aficionados on the drive out. A stop and boat trip on Lake Bunyoni to our overnight accommodation relaxed us all and then quite a few drinks and a lovely meal ended a long but exciting day
Next day the drive back and Francis introduced us to his favourite music and we introduced him to the Australian band The Angels. We stopped and met some locals at a fruit stall on a country road and sampled some delicious fresh fruit as sustenance on the trip back to the hotel
A fantastic journey with a guide that became as much a mate as a guide. No question was too silly and Francis had pretty much all the answers
On our arrival Vicki was there to greet us and to make sure our trip was everything we wanted it to be. Job done guys
I can recommend NSAVI Safaris with the highest possible praise, bent over backwards to make us feel comfortable safe and secure and to give us the experience of a lifetime with the mountain gorillas

She prioritizes the client LITERALLY at all costs.
Fine Bush tour prioritizes its clients at all cost. They go out of their way to ensure that you have an experience more valuable than what you pay for. On one occasion one of the camps we were supposed to travel to got closed and Fine Bush tour upgraded us to a premier camp at no additional cost. On another occasion we had booked into a premier camp and our booking was to be cancelled because other tourists rescheduled, but Fine Bush tours ensured that the cancellation did not go through so we were the only couple in the camp and we also got a private charter at no additional cost. Be rest assured to get a better than planned for experience when booking through Fine Bush tours, for any reasonable budget they will give you an amazing experience.

She is friendly and easily accessible. She goes out of way to make sure you get the best service.
My husband and I have had the pleasure of using Fine Bush Tours during our visits to Mombo in March 2021 and Jao in December 2021. The camps were reasonably priced and the operator offered a good payment plan. With a pool of great packages to choose from, the operator is well knowledgeable about the camps and was able to attend to all our inquiries. One of the striking features about her services is that she goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience. The operator will meet you at the airport to see you off when you go into and out of the Delta, and organise activities specifically tailored for any special occasion. I strongly recommend Fine Bush Tours to anyone who is looking for a reliable operator to use in their travels.

Incredible 8 days in Kenya!
An incredible experience! We had 8 days safari tour, visited Aberdares, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. The tour was well organized and everything went smooth. We saw all big 5 and many other beautiful creatures, stunning landscapes not only out because of luck but also thanks to Martin effort and experience (our tour guide)!
Thanks a lot Martin for your positive energy, all the information you shared and taking very good care of us, very happy to have you during this experience and choosing Keron Safaris & Hotels (keyron Vacations)!
I can highly recommend staying in The Cliff Lodge! By far the best place I have stayed which is located in cliff near by Nakuru Lake with sunrise view, very professional staff, comfortable and well designed rooms, swimming pool (you will definitely enjoy right after game driving).
Secondly, I can recommend Ark Hotel where you can watch the animals right in front of the place and be very close to the wild life!
We stayed in 4 different lodges. Only thing I would change next time is decreasing this number.

Unforgettable experience
Many thanks to Enzi Safaris for organizing our trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater, everything was amazing for the start to the end. Thanks to our driver guide Issaya for his experience as he knows exactly what he is doing and he was very easy to read our mind as do as we wanted before asking him. Thanks to Ally and his wife for organising this amazing trip to us as we really enjoyed. Enzi Safaris is the best Tanzanian Tour Operator.
