Amazing adventure with Tanzania Explorer!
We were recommended to use Tanzania Explorer for our 30 years of marriage-celebration trip. The service and professionality was excellent
in every part of the planning and during our travel.
A big thank you to Tanzania Explorer for making this safari an experience we will never forget. There are many nationalparks in Tanzania, and we hope to go back for a new safari in a few years.
Our safari guide, Joshua was the best guide we could ask for. He was professional, an excellent spotter, patient and knowledgeable.
We strongly recommend Tanzania Explorer to anyone that are choosing Tanzania as their safari destination!

Best safar ever
Truly an incredible experience, and one I will never forget! Our guide Emmanuel had a great amount of knowledge on everything we encountered, in addition to being friendly, funny and warm. All of our interactions and hotel stays exemplified an unmatched level of hospitality, and the accommodations themselves were gorgeous and luxurious. The safari itself was absolutely incredible - Emmanuel knew exactly where to go to find interesting animals, and the wildlife venture so close to your car you could practically touch them (though of course you shouldn't!). Over all, Mbio Mbio Safaris did a truly fantastic job organizing and hosting our safari, and we would love to go again someday!

Smart Voyage provided a seamless, enjoyable and well-planned itinerary.
Smart voyage team was excellent in communicating with us, providing prompt responses to inquiries, and giving detailed information about our honeymoon itinerary and any other relevant details. The team's communication was also friendly and professional, making us feel valued and appreciated. In addition to this Smart voyage provided excellent value for money, with a well-planned itinerary that included all the romantic stops and activities. The team also organized comfortable accommodations at seven islands, transportation to and from all the romantic sites we visited, and meals, all at a reasonable price.

Responsive, friendly and efficient tour operator, always ready to please with fantastic staff
We specifically wanted to use a Kenyan tour operator to organise our trip, so that our tourist spend would remain in the country.
Right from the start, Tekko proved themselves to be up to the job. We specified our tour requirements, and Carol worked hard to plan the trip we wanted, using her extensive knowledge of the game reserves and lodges/camp/hotels available.
After several iterations, which Carol provided, we landed our trip - which included 6 game reserves and 4 days on the coast in 16 days, including our own driver and Land Cruiser.
Our driver, Kennedy, was a fantastic asset to our trip - friendly, knowledgeable, lots of initiative and problem solving, very understanding of our needs. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Even when our Land Cruiser had a technical problem (unsurprising given the mileage we covered and the quality of the roads), he resolved this without fuss and minimum inconvenience. He also had a good nose for the game, finding us the more tricky of the animals we were were hoping to see - leopard, cheetah, secretary bird, dwarf mongoose, etc.
Our trip exceeded our expectations, and Tekko were very instrumental in making that happen. I would thoroughly recommend using their services.

Just perfect
From the moment I first contacted Justin by email to the moment that Patrick dropped us back to the airport the service from Shammah Wonders was 5 star.
Justin’s communication pre trip was superb. He answered all of my queries quickly and put together a perfect 2 day, 1 night safari itinerary for us which allowed us to make the most of the limited time we had to visit Nyerere National Park.
Our guide for the trip was Patrick. He was absolutely fantastic. After an early pick up from our hotel in Dar he drove us out to Selous Camp Africa for a quick breakfast before taking us into the park for a whole day game drive. His knowledge of the park was vast and thanks to him we saw so much. Most of the time it felt as though we had the park to ourselves as we barely saw another vehicle.
The overnight accommodation at Camp Africa was comfortable, the food good and the camp staff excellent.
Day 2 was a 2 hour river trip which gave us a different view of the wildlife and birds followed by a quick lunch before the long drive back to the airport in Dar.
If you are looking to book a safari I would highly recommend Shammah Wonders. The whole experience has been utterly amazing.

Increíble service!
We had such an amazing time in Tanzania thanks to Easy Travel, particularly our superstar guide Ombeni. He was fun, knowledgeable, flexible, professional yet genuine and we all felt so comfortable spending a week in safari with him. I’m so impressed that he speaks English and Spanish fluently, probably more languages as well as the knowledge he shared with us about animals, culture, history, just about anything. We enjoyed learning about Tanzania and fell in love with the people and the nature.
I also want to emphasize that Tortillis camps we stayed at 4 locations were also amazing. The food was great and they provided more than enough for the three meals every day. The staff was super friendly and we enjoyed the dancing and the singing a lot.
I really hope that a lot of tourists will come back this year and I strongly recommend choosing Easy Travel for the safari tour.

Hard to describe in just one sentence, James is the best guide ever!
Words can hardly describe the amazing experience my mom and I had on our Tanzania safari. Our accommodations were all fantastic, the wildlife was abundant, and the weather was perfect, but what really made our trip amazing was James. He is the absolute best guide you can find!! There were 6 of us, a family of four with two young teenage daughters and my mom and I. James catered to everyone perfectly, with our group ranging in ages 13 to 68. His mild manner and vast knowledge of the terrain, animals, history, etc truly makes James the perfect guide and provides the best experience possible! I couldn’t recommend him enough. Please just book your trip with him now, you will not regret it!! Thanks again for everything, James! You’re the best!

Uganda & Northern Tanzania Family Safari
Buck list item check! Duma (Stacy) was fantastic to work with. Our group of seven included 3 generations ranging from age 7 to 71. Stacy worked closely with us to ensure there was something for everyone. Our trip included 3 separate itineraries: Uganda gorilla trekking for two, five day stay in Arusha for five, and a seven day safari for the entire family. Each itinerary was expertly planned and the result was an incredible family vacation.
If you have the time, we strongly recommend adding the Uganda Silverback Gorilla trekking experience to your trip. Being with the gorillas was awe-inspiring. Based on Stacy's recommendation we spent Valentine's Day at the Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp and it was breath taking.
Our safari trip included a Maasai village tour that was great for the kids & interesting for the adults. Our guide Safuni was terrific. We were able to see the Big 5 & the wildebeest migration through the Serengeti. Overall, we could never have planned such a complicated trip without Duma's professional expertise. Stacy took the time to really listen and identify what would be best for us given the different ages, personalities, and desired outcome. Everyone (including the teenager) said it was the BEST trip ever and asked when we can do it again.

Awesome safari with KingTomondo
Our safari was originally booked for 2020 but had to be delayed due to Covid. We chose KingTomondo because they listened to what we wanted for our group and came up with the best options. Lisa- the boss- has been amazing, responding by return to all our enquiries at any time of day. We had two big Land Cruisers for our group to drive from Nairobi through Amboseli, Tzavo West and Tzavo East ending at Diani Beach. We were slightly concerned that our driver/guides would not be as familiar with the parks as a guide based at the camps would have been but we need not have worried. Said and Bashir have many years of safaris behind them and knew all of the parks well. In addition they were part of a driver network who shared any sightings via radio so we always knew where the best game was going to be. They were very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed their company and guidance.
We stayed in three different camps, each one different and all of them good. One had a dam full of hippos and crocs in front of the dining area and one had a waterhole which we could have watched all day as families of elephants, zebra and other game came in to drink.
It was an amazing week and we’d definitely recommend them. KingTomondo is a small business who really care about their clients.
