Lovely and helpful people who will make your safari an unforgettable experience
We had a good feeling about Speckled Bird Tours from the beginning. The organizers were very eager to answer any questions we had in advance. On the first day, we were even personally greeted and welcomed by the organizers in front of our hotel, which made us very happy. Our driver was an outgoing, passionate young man with excellent driving skills. We were able to learn a lot from him and he always had an answer to our questions. We were lucky to observe many animals of different species and impressive landscapes. A highlight on our tour was certainly the visit of a Massai Boma. We were lucky to see many animals of different species and impressive landscapes.
The accommodations and food were perfectly adequate for us. There was a pool in all accommodations and all meals were buffet style. So there was something for everyone.
All in all, this trip was special for us because it was just a very big contrast to the European culture/lifestyle/landscape. The price/performance ratio is very good.
During the whole safari you could really live and experience the Kenyan motto of life "Hakuna Matata (no worries/take it easy)".

Always available and attentive
I was a tiny bit worried about using a UK based company, being in the US, but that all went away as soon as I spoke to my agent Emma, and started planning my trip. Which took 2 years, just an FYI. We ended up with a 12 night Kenyan safari, and I probably changed my mind, and added things, and had questions, on a weekly basis, and Emma never got annoyed, or upset. It was my first time going on Safari, and my partners first time going anywhere out of the US, so we needed A LOT of hand holding. We just got back a month ago, and I'm already trying to figure out how we can go back within a couple of years. Everything was taken care of by Yellow Zebra. We of course were responsible for airfare, visas, insurance etc, but everything on ground was handled by Emma and team. I've already started saving for our next trip. I won't hesitate to call Yellow Zebra for our trip!!! I already told her to expect my email in a year or two. We went pretty high luxury, but now we've gone once, I know where we want to go, and not to go, or stay. For example, we did the hot air balloon, and a night at Giraffe manor, we wouldn't do those again, so there's a ton of savings right there!! Listen, these guys are fabulous, with first hand experience either living in Africa, ( like Emma) or stay in the Camps several times a year, so they have so much knowledge to give you as a client. Even when we got home, Emma and team welcomed us home, and checked in on us. Thank you so much for planning this ( hopefully more than once) in a lifetime vacation!!! We truly cannot wait for the next adventure.

Incredibly helpful in choosing a lodge
Wayne was so helpful in helping me sift through the different tour and lodging options. We even hopped on a Zoom call, which made this process much more personable and efficient! My and my 3 friends went to the Kapama Southern Lodge on a 4 day safari and it was perfect! The only issue we had was there was some sort of miscommunication between our shuttle driver and the Kapama staff so there was nobody there to pick us up from the shuttle drop off location when we arrived. And on our return trip the shuttle was half an hour earlier than expected and we felt in a rush on our way out.

Wonderful Experience and Perfect on Every detail!!
Wonderful Experience and Perfect on Every detail!!
All the logistics before our arrival were very well managed, Justice was so patient and helpful until we got the perfect plan for us. Our guide driver and friend was John. He gives us the best experience ever. We learned from his knowledge not just about animals but about Tanzania country, and the culture.
The landscape and nature were attractive everywhere, we couldn't stop taking pictures and John managed to fulfill our entire request.
The lodges and camps were excellent, well located, beautiful and comfortable. Food was very good, delicious and sweet in the accommodations and on the way; Tanzanian people were very friendly, kind and polite. I’m sure we will meet for another round.

Professional, friendly, kind, smart, great driver and great human being: Jimmy!
My experience was beyond I expected. The communication with Alex was very good since the first contact. He gave me the options for the Safari with the prices, accommodations and everything I need to know. I booked 5 day Safari and my guide was Jimmy - what a nice surprise. Jimmy is a centred person, professional, he knows what his is doing and wants to make sure you are having a good time. We had 2 wonderful days at Masai Mara first, where we could see the big 5 and also some big actions happening (13 lionesses killing a buffalo and a cheta killing a wild beast). This is not guarantee that is going to happen when you are there, but Jimmy was all the time in contact with the other drivers and speeding up the car whenever he heard something was about to happen. Besides that, I got sick on my 2 day and Jimmy was helping me to get better. He took me at the pharmacy and also gave me some hot ginger and lemon drink that really healed me. I would give him not 5, but 6 stars (: the rest of the days was really enjoyable and I will remember this trip forever! Asante. Thank you very much

He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic
I had the most brilliant holiday at Basecamp and Eagleview for 5 days. The camps and staff were amazing. Everything about the safari was wonderful the itinerary, the game drives, and getting to see the big five up close.
I would use Seremara Safaris and recommend them.

our experience in Tanzania was above and beyond our expectations
It was a privilege to be on Safari in Tanzania. The organization of our Safari left nothing untouched so we were free to focus on the extreme beauty of the animals, countryside, places we stayed and the people we met. The Tanzanians who were responsible for making our adventure 5 star were attentive, kind, caring, engaged with their jobs and some of the nicest people we have ever met. Every place we stayed the meals were well thought out and frankly very delicious, this included the picnic lunches in a variety of picnic areas.
I think I didn't quite believe how prolific the wild life would be. Our Safari guide from Wayfarer, was tenacious in making sure we saw the Big Five, but also other more allusive animals such as leopards and cheetahs- we saw 84 lions on our 8 day safari, many of which were cubs. We felt his commitment to wanting our adventure to be the best! The twigas or giraffes were there in all their splendor with many babies as well. It was quite unbelievable at times the impact of being in Tanzania, on Safari, had on us.
