Set up a well-coordinated tour for us engaging knowledgeable and competent local drivers and guides.
Armaye Ethiopia Tours was the first of three agencies to respond to our request for a quote for a tour in northern Ethiopia and was extremely responsive in addressing questions and issues, and flexible in coordinating our tour. We enjoyed being able to converse with a knowledgeable local guide in each site we visited and were especially impressed with the smooth coordination among them as we traveled. Each site we visited was amazing in its own way. In one relatively short trip we were able to enjoy astounding landscapes, see a little of the way of life in different rural and urban areas, and learn about some of the rich history and culture in Ethiopia.

Excellent service, unforgettable Safari
We had a fantastic experience with Uwanda tours. We signed up for a 1-day safari in Mikumi (leaving from Zanzibar) very last minute; we communicated easily via WhatsApp and had all our questions immediately answered which gave us the confidence to book with Uwanda.
The safari itself was amazing. Everything worked seamlessly, we saw more than we could have hoped for in one day and travelled comfortably in a small group of five. A big thank you to our excellent guide James and skilled driver Felix who were helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable.

Adventure awaits…
It was fantastic to explore Chobe and Victoria Falls with MOTE. Not only did it make transcending borders easier, but it helped to have a set program every day. The boat trips were a highlight at sunset.

Excellent tour operator
Our family of four participated in an 8 night safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with African Big Cats. Of the tour operators we received quotes from African Big Cats were the most flexible with the itinerary and communication with Justice and Emmanuel was easy and efficient throughout. It was also good to know we were supporting a local company.
Our guide Venance was absolutely fantastic, a total gentleman, very friendly and good humoured, a safe and reliable driver and above all very knowledgeable and informative about both the wildlife and the people/history of Tanzania. Venance went to great lengths to ensure we saw as many species as possible and that we were able to view and photograph everything optimally. He was also very accommodating with my birdwatching.
Regarding accommodation we opted for a luxury option and went with the hotels originally quoted by African Big Cats which were Maramboi tented camp (near Tarangire), Kitela Lodge (near Lake Manyara), Kubu Kubu in Serengeti and Serena Lodge at Ngorongoro. We absolutely loved Kubu Kubu (the staff are delightful, the views amazing and the rooms and dining area perfectly designed). Serena at Ngorongoro was a bit dated and crowded but the views were fantastic. Kitela was lovely but it's far outside the national park and if I were to book again I would choose a Lodge inside the park. Likewise with Maramboi the Lodge was great but a lodge inside Tarangire would be preferable.
We absolutely loved our safari in Tanzania and being originally from South Africa where we have seen a lot of wildlife we were nevertheless blown away by the scale of these national parks and how prolific the wildlife is. We saw a group of cheetah kill a gazelle right next to our car within an hour of entering Serengeti and that was just the beginning. We saw lion feeding on an elephant, another lion pride with cubs relaxing after a kill, leopards mating, a leopard and her cub returning up a tree to a stashed kill, a pack of hyenas in a stand off with lions. I've never seen so many different groups of lions, so many different cheetahs and so many different leopard all at unbelievably close quarters. We also were lucky to see smaller creatures such as serval, genet, civet and porcupine and of course all the herbivores. On our last day in the Serengeti we witnessed the wildebeest gathering for their southern migration and the sight of wildebeest stretching to the horizon in every direction was truly spectacular.
The scenery in Tanzania is also extremely beautiful with the volcanoes and craters and lakes. This sets it apart from game reserves in South Africa.
I would highly recommend African Big Cats to show you the treasures of this beautiful country. We will certainly be booking with them again.

We are very happy with the service and attention from Eleanor Roberts, the itinerary was very clear, the service of the guides and quality of the cars was really good as well. The hotels booked were amazing despite the short timeframe planning the trip.
I would recommend Wayfarer Travel.

Kevin was a great driver and made our experience a lifetime memory.
Kevin is the best driver! Timely, safe, navigation, knows everything about the area. He definitely made our Maasai Mara experience a lifetime memory. Also worth the value. Would definitely book again!!
