Amazingly thought-through & well organized program that allows to focus on exploring the country.
My positive experience started with proper assistance in planning. I communicated my expectations and SimienEco came back to me with options and suggestions prior to my trip. Once the travel started, I have to say that both the program as well as the different guides were great. As requested, the tour offered a good balance of outdoor activities (like trekking) and cultural program. The guides were all locals and very knowledgeable about the regions/places I travelled to. In the beginning, I was a little surprised that I don't "keep" the same guide/driver for the entire trip (which might be an option if you ask for it), but this also turned out to be very beneficial, since a) you have real locals as guides that - most of the time - were even born and raised in the region - and b) I met more locals that I would have met otherwise, which gives much more insight into the country.

Amazing experience
We went on an 8-day trip to Tanzania in December 2019 which was excellent. It was very well organised, we liked all the selected accommodations, well equipped Safari jeeps and our driver-guide knew a lot! Safarihub Tour operator is definitely recommendable!

Beyond Amazing
RA Safari is the best tour operator that we could have worked with.
I found them through a reference from a relative who has traveled with RA multiple times and always had a great experience, so going in I had some peace of mind. However, Zeph, Elli, our guide and friend Salehe surpassed all expectations.
I contacted over a dozen operators and not only were RA best pricing-wise but while traveling everything was perfect and extremely professional. A big part of your safari trip is the guide and Salehe was extremely patient with all of our requests. A big purpose of my trip was taking pictures and whether 1 or 100 shot, Salehe was always patient and careful to ensure that we got the best possible angle.
All in all, if you are going for a Safari, I only have two suggestions:
1. Go with someone local rather than a non-Tanzanian operator
2. Travel with a guide who is patient, hard-working, and genuinely likes animals. This will make a huge difference to your trip.
RA Safari was the best and I whole-heartedly recommend them

Incredible experience, it's seems to be like National Geographic!
That was an unforgettable experience for me at Kibale national park! If you are wanting to see wild chimpanzees, I want to tell THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE!!! The guide Najib on our side was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke decent English. Unlike some other parks with chimp populations, Kibale is amongst the highest in the world so your much more likely to get really good views of them as opposed to just in the trees.

Best Vacation Ever
We planned our safari over a two week period just before Christmas (2018) to after the New year (2019). It was the most amazing vacation ever. First and foremost, our driver James was amazing. Besides my wife and myself, we traveled with our 30 year daughter and her husband. Within the first hour of landing on the Serengeti in Tanzania, we saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, leopards, giraffe, hippos and zebras.
Each day our safari yield the same results. From the Serengeti we moved towards the Ngorongoro Crater. We drove straight through the migration . Hundreds of Thousands of Wildebeests and Zebra. Ngorogoro Crater was amazing with lots of animals including Rhinos. (Go early in the day). Finished the trip with Tarangire (The Elephant Park) an Amboseli in Kenya. The Cultural side trips were unforgettable. Be sure to visit the Masai Village and Bush Tribe (The Hazabie Tribe) who shared there language, music and dance. We felt as if we were in a National Geographic special. The Hazabies even took us on a hunting trip. Amazing! All of our accommodations were first class. Mostly tent camps that were very comfortable with 2 Queens or one King and bathroom facilities in the back of the tent. The tents were very clean and the food was outstanding. The breakfasts were filling and had lots of choices. The African coffees were amazing. The box lunches were great and filling. Each dinner was an event. Music and singing accompanied by a tasty meal. TSA's staff was very professional and willing to make our trip unforgettable which it was.
We give Tanzania Serengeti Adventures our strongest recommendation for the best vacation we have ever been on.

Great experience but it's not a easy hike to see gorillas!
We debated a lot whether or not to go to Rwanda or Uganda to see the gorillas. Ultimately due to the lower cost and in budget, we decided to trevel in Uganda, we chose Bwindi and loved it! Our guide helped us pick a medium difficulty walk with a family of gorillas that included babies. The walk was not so easy at all, about more than an hour and a bit of uphill walking. Close to seeing the gorillas, we left our bags/packs and then within a few minutes we were surrounded by gorillas! It was incredible!! We felt so close to them and often the rangers would help cut down some of the foliage to help us get closer or to see better. We saw 3 babies, one who was dancing around in the trees. The hour with the gorillas passed by very fast! It was truly a worthwhile experience.

The Most Amazing Chimpanzee Viewing
We hiked for about 45 minutes to get to the chimpanzees at Kibale NP. Then were given about an hour to watch. I took many pictures and even more videos on my smartphone. Guides and rangers of East African Jungle Safaris tries to keep the groups small so we have a chance of good viewing. Our hike was fairly easy and bugs/insects were not an issue. For recommendations, February is a good month to go. Guide does a good job of making sure we know what to do and not to do. While you are trekking, Keep your voices down, no camera flashes and keep back a ways. We still got really close though.

It was amazing!
What amazing experience!
We booked the 4 day-safari and it's really worth it!
All our expectations became reality!
We can only give positive feedback about the booking (was really easy), all the places we visited and animals we saw, and the best guide we could wish for (Khalifa
