Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Ross Watts
We only had 6 hours in the park but managed to see 3 of the big 5, but lots of them and many more different animals as well; our driver and guide answered every question put to him.

Beyond Imagination
We booked my father’s dream Safari vacation with Amshar Serengeti Adventures and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. My sister had researched the country and the safari companies and my brother chose Amshar Serengeti Adventures from his short list. We picked Tanzania because it has the most animals that we admire to see. We love that this company is Tanzanian owned and operated. The Safari packages with Amshar Serengeti Adventures are also very affordable and completely customizable in such way that you can understand everything in a short period of time. My dad worked with Aron Michael to develop the ultimate Safari via an ongoing email chain over a few months. Aron was extremely responsive and the entire trip was customized to meet our needs and wants. We ended up booking an incredible 12 day adventure with Zanzibar Extension. Once decided upon, all activities,Airport transfers and pickups, Jeep, lodging, and meals were covered by the fee. Our amazing guide, John picked us up from the airport in the Safari vehicle and was there for us and our every need for the next 12 days until he dropped us back off at the airport. John is extremely knowledgable about Tanzania, the parks, the animals, and answered every single one of our dozens, perhaps more than 170s of questions. He really went above and heyond to make sure we were happy, healthy, and satisfied.
We were able to visit Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorogoro Crater, Arusha National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Zanzibar, and several local tribes including the Maasai, and the Hadzabe. We saw oodles of animals, including the Big Five, due in large part to the tenacity of John. The accommodations were clean, the food was plentiful and excellent, and the staff at every place we stayed were extremely friendly and accommodating. Even the tented lodges inside Serengeti National park had flush toilets and showers! It was real amazing and never expected.
We cannot say enough positive things about Amshar Serengeti Adventures , John and the Tanzanian people. Highly recommend!

Perfect trip and experience
This is not my first safari to Tanzania, I have been visiting this country for several times. But I would say this time has been awesome. Traveling with Amshar Serengeti Adventures has made my dream come true by witnessing the big groups of wildebeest crossing Mara River to Masai Mara in Kenya. One of my child told me that she won’t forget that experience and will be an event of a lifetime. It’s difficult to choose the best operator during the time of bookings but we are lucky to travel with this operator and we can recommend to anyone wishing to visit Tanzania.

Budget safari, with a nice crew, awesome safaris and budget Accommodations
We had a really good time during the safaris. The drivers were really nice. Especially Simon did. a really good job, driving, explaining and some fun moments.
The food was absolutely acceptable for a budget safari. Also the cooks tried to meet our needs, as we had some allergies (worked out 50% of the time).
Some of the lodges we stayed were really budget. Probably still good for tansanian standard on a budget trip, but still a bit less then we expected (windows were not safe at all times, bathrooms not clean …) but Godwill managed to book us into another lodge that suited our needs more.
Also they were really flexible with everything. That made us feel really welcome and good.
The last day we did a coffee tour to a village. The coffee experience was really cool, as we joined them from picking the beans till the brewed coffee. We were just a bit shocked about the „restroom“ which wasn’t really a room at all. But you get a good local kind of view.
So all in all we had a nice budget safari with awesome day trips, safe drives, always enough water and some really Budget overnight stays.
If you don’t expect a mid range hotel, you’ll be good to go with Simon, Godwill and the rest of the crew.

Excellent experience with Lion king adventures.
We took a 5 day safari through the main parks and it was all great. We asked for a Guide in Spanish and they sent David who made everything easier.

Golden Star - Travel agent
It was a life time experience and no one should miss it. Charles was fantastic in organizing our one week trip trip and ensuring we get the best services at all times. The tour guide who was also our driver (Joseph) ensured we always experience the most oustanding moments during our trip. Though we had day only in Murchison Falls, we saw the big 5's, awesome sunset and rainbow at the falls. So many stories and a lot to learn about this amazing country and its wonderful people. Great travel around this beautiful country.
If you visit Uganda, then Charles and Exclusing Uganda Safaris is your best option. Highly highly recommended. Make suer you spend much more than one week…it is so much to see.

Excellent! The organisation, accommodation, safari tours were great!
Everything was prompt and on time, from the moment we were collected in Nairobi the service was excellent. The accommodation and food was way beyond what we expected. Our guide Jack was great, the effort he put in to find all the animals was really appreciated. He knew how to get the best angles and lighting for the photos of the animals, plus we saw all the big 5 in the Masi Mara. I really enjoyed when he shared his knowledge around the plants and wildlife. Would definitely recommend!
