Friendly, competent and super responsive
I did a 10-day safari trip with my brothers to four safari parks in the southern part of Tanzania, mainly to avoid the crowds in the Serengeti. Gogiraffe put together a great tour, spanning Mikumi, Ruaha, Udzungwa and Nyerere National Parks. Planning was through WhatsApp, with the manager Luice Bayanga, who was super responsive and very flexibly accommodated all our requests. All arrangements he made were perfect, from the selection of the accommodation (mid-range to upper-range safari camps...), to all the travel arrangements (airport and hotel pick-ups, guides etc). Issa, our driver was very pleasant to travel with, and a very safe pair of hands on the roads (which can be quite rough, and with lots of heavy traffic to negotiate...). He also was very knowledgeable, telling us much about the country as we travelled, and he was also a great bird and animal spotter. We capped the safari off with a day in Zanzibar, with smoot transfers between Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar in a great hotel, and an excellent local guide. We were very satisfied, and will come back with our spouses. We definitely will use Gogiraffe again. Great value for money too - so I'd highly recommend them.

Great Tour!
Qualified Tours Tanzania was an exceptional tour operator. We booked both a safari experience and a Zanzibar holiday with them (all from an Italy). For our honeymoon, we opted for a luxury safari, and they exceeded our expectations by accommodating all our requests and securing great prices at the recommended resorts.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Goodluck as our guide throughout the five safari days, spanning from Tarangire Park to Serengeti. Goodluck's extensive knowledge of the parks' terrain ensured that we had exceptional wildlife encounters, including sightings of rare animals like rhinos and leopards.
Furthermore, the payment process was always secure and dependable. We wholeheartedly recommend Qualified Tours Tanzania for your trip to Tanzania. They truly deserve a 100% rating!
Great job, guys

A very good quality/price ratio for a safari
The safari experience was globally good with Ngekewa. The guide/driver they have chosen was kind (his name is Kelvin), helpful and professional. We really enjoyed our safari with him and his assistant/cooker.
There are some missing things, like the tents' quality (we were excepting bigger and newer), and the first (public) camp site was poorly maintained (probably because it is public and free); the other camp sites we have been were very good though.
Globally the safari was awesome and at reasonable price.
Also, I want to give a special mention to the communication officer, Miss Lulu Christopher. Her communication service from A to Z was excellent. She has been efficient, helpful, patient and very attentive to our needs. That is priceless! (I personally shunned another tour because of their poor communication; a red flag to me).
I really recommend this agency. Besides, we noticed that Tanzanian people are really kind, helpful and respectful.

Proffesional!
Our 4 Days Tanzania Budget Joining Safari was magnificent. Organisation was really good, all transfers on time, accomodations in comfortable campsites and what is the most important, our guide Amani made this excursion as an ultimate expirience.
We have seen a lot of animals duiring our drives. He was super involved into his job and did evrything to give us as many unforgetable memories as possible.
Also we didn't need any additional snack on tour due to Tom - our cook. All meals were delicious and super well prepared.

Viva Safaris provided a wonderful safari experience - well organised, great staff, A+++
From the first contact with Patti right through to the final drop off in Johannesburg this tour met all expectations. All the staff were wonderful. Rai and Tuney kept everything well organised, Mama Dee and her team provided breakfast, lunch and dinner feasts, and the drivers and guides ensured animal sightings throughout along with in depth information about the animals and birds that we saw. Thanks to everyone involved for a great experience.

More than just a safari
My husband and I went on the 9 day safari tour through Victoria Falls and Botswana for our honeymoon. It was truly one of the best experiences of our lives and the best choice we could have made!
Starting from the beginning, Tatenda was extremely reliable and responded to all of my emails right away. He answered tons of my questions and helped me customize and add additional days on to the tour so we could make the tour just how we wanted.
Then to the tour itself, many of the other tours on safari bookings only include game drives, we chose this tour because it had a ton of variety and were so glad we did! Not only did we see a ton of animals and natural landscapes we also got a chance to do multiple boat rides, cultural experiences and a helicopter ride! Plus the hotels and food included were excellent! They even set up a special honeymoon poolside dinner for us as a surprise for free! Everything was prompt and reliable and they really went out of their way to do everything we wanted. We definitely got value for our money on this tour.
But now to the best part of our tour was our guide Simon! Simon was more than just a safari guide, he also became a friend and an ambassador to Africa as a whole. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable and explained not only the landscape but the history, culture, politics, and customs of all of Southern Africa. The warmth and humor of Africa totally shines through Simons personality and you can tell his passion for his job. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives, thank you Tatenda, Simon, and Cuckoo Safaris!

Considerate and provide detail introduction
My guide Gitaui Samuel is a nice and considerate guy. He notice I am interested in taking photo for animal, so he actively asked me if I take enough photo in every spot. He also share lots of animal knowledge with me. I learnt so much from a two day trip. In addition, I choose a budge plan, but the stay is clean and nice. The host is nice and I enjoy the stay.

The Best we Never Expected
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Aron, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his personal approach! Every interaction felt like a conversation with a dear friend. Aron meticulously attended to all our requirements, accommodated our budget, and seamlessly adapted to our hectic schedule. The selection of national parks exceeded our expectations, and we were warmly welcomed and entertained throughout our journey.
Every transfer was executed flawlessly, and the entire experience ran like a well-oiled machine, relieving us of any hassle or stress. Without reservation, we wholeheartedly recommend Amshar Serengeti Adventures and especially Aron for crafting such an outstanding itinerary for us. Our guide, John, was both attentive and exceptionally knowledgeable. In addition to our wildlife adventures, we had the opportunity to explore captivating cultural sites in Lake Eyasi.
We extend our gratitude to Amshar Serengeti Adventures for their exceptional organization of our safari.
