Our first safari, 10/10!
We spent a lot of time trying to find a safari in Tanzania that will have affordable price, will have good reviews, 4d duration and include all the best parks of Tanzania.
We were lucky to find Focus in Africa. Communication was great from the very beginning. We did not sent any money in advance, just payed on the morning of 1st day of safari.
Got a great driver and guide - Jakob. He knows where to find animals, different information about them and in general very kind person!
We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngoro-ngoro. Each park has own beauty and looks different. We were wery exited looking first time in our lives on lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and so on in the wild.
Highly recommend this company. They are doing a great job for very reasonable price.

Easy and Amazing
We booked a 5 days safari with staying in Tortilis Camp in all the places. It was amazing and best trip we have ever. Our guide Eli took us very close to animals and he is the best. We thank trio quest for organising such a wonderful safari.

Fantastic safari and top rated tour operator
I just returned from this 10 day trip Nov 2020, it was absolutely fantastic. Ambolele Tours does an excellent job. Their service is very personalized, guides and chefs are wonderful. This is a budget safari which was exactly what I wanted, so lodges are basic but clean and safe. If you're looking for a higher end safari, they offer those too and can customize what you prefer. Food was amazing especially during the six day game park portion. The manager, Ibad, is very responsive and happy to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend this company...they are an excellent choice. Tanzania is a wonderful, friendly country which isn't locked in the current global fear pandemic, it was really refreshing to spend time there...in some ways I hardly wanted to return home to the US. Highly recommended!

Simply Amazing!!
Our 11 Day Safari to Kenya was the trip of a lifetime! I worked directly with Ben Jennings who built the perfect itinerary for us. He patiently answered all of my questions & concerns - which I had more than a few - especially traveling during the Covid 19 pandemic. He kept me updated on changes that occurred in the 10 months between booking and actual travel - even letting me know that the price had dropped at one of the properties that we were staying - which shows the integrity of the company. I would definitely recommend E-Trip Africa....

Amazing memories will remain from this incredible safari with Ambolele Tours... Big five spotted !
Freshly married, for our honeymoon trip we decided to do a safari adventure and we choose Ambolele Tour which propose fair prices and good accommodations. We were not disappointed, Ambolele Tour is very professional and deeply concerned about their customer experience. Right after our arrival we had a detailed explanation of the safari at the hotel (which is a very good place to rest a bit before and after the safari), transfert from and to the airport were included which is very good. We joined the other adventurers from our safari group and we started the safari with an amazing and funny guide (with strong knowledge about the nature and wildlife) and an incredible cook (the food made by the chef was so delicious !!). With our binoculars and cameras ready we had a lot of fun and adventure during the game drive. We are very happy and grateful to have been able to see the big five and many other animals, insects, plants during our visits in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara national parcs. Beautiful landscapes and panorama, sunset and sunrise, sleeping in the tent listening to the wildlife around, everything was amazing !!! For sure we will do it again, it is an experience of a lifetime !! Ambolele Tour was the finest choice for us and we deeply recommend it to organize your safari tour !
Amazing time in Tanzania
We had a 6 day Safari in Tanzania from 20th October to 26th and i must admit it was the best trip I've had. I was with my brother and we really enjoyed.We got to visit Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro national parks..Wonderful time working with this tour operator

Great safari with some wait times
We had a great time on our 7 day Safari in Kenya. Our driver/guide Arony was very good and experienced. He managed to be the first to find the Lions in the Massai Mara, ahead of a lot of other cars. This led to us having a great and quiet view of them. He was also very knowledgable, considerate and funny. So if you can, Arony is your man!
The parks and animals were stunning and an absolute must see. Accomodation in the budget tour is as you can expect very basic. But besides the occasional power outage we felt well taken care of in all of them. Just don't expect wifi everywhere.
The reason why we can't give 5 star is the organisation of the group tour. We had people joining and leaving which is okay, but the way it is planned it leads to annoying wait times. We started the tour very early on the first day just to wait 1.5hours for some stuff they had to fix at the bank in downtown, only to drive back the way we came. Could have slept all this time to be picked up then. The order of our itinerary also was mixed on short notice to pick up another guest which led to us going back to Mai mahiu (1h each way), again time we could have spent exploring or at least comfortably at a hotel instead of bumpy traffic. Lastly our game drive on the last day was cut short to 1 hour instead of 2.5 hours due to a bus schedule of other guests (again something you could mitigate by getting a second car to pick up these guests). I believe this is not the drivers nor the other guests fault, but the organisation from the office. All this accounts to about half a day lost during these 7 days.
So to summarize: The tour is good, Arony was great and the organisation just okay. I guess the good price compensates a bit.

Leonard is super professional, super nice, and very patient. Made out safari so fun and enjoyable.
Definitely recommend Jocky tours for safari trips. We got very lucky with our guide: Leonard. He is super professional and super nice. He was very patient with us and worked to accommodate all our needs. He drove tirelessly all day long in Masai Mara so that we catch a lion pride in action and also another cheetah couple, and he didn’t stop until we finally caught them and got to enjoy what we came for. We were all so happy and appreciative for his dedication. He made my safari dream come true.

A Trip of a Lifetime!
I would definitely recommend Tanzania Kenya Safari. We climbed Mt Kilimanjaro using the 8 days Lemosho Route. We found the team fantastic and the meals were very good. The guides would always make sure we were eating enough
They would always reply to our emails and there were many of them. When it came to payment we had a very smooth payment by card in the end everything was good
