Trip of a lifetime - Honeymoon
The organization, attention to detail, and professionalism when dealing with Sheengai Pride Safaris is unparalleled. Augustino made us feel as special as possible during the entire trip. This was our first safari and we can only say that if you are looking for one of the best, at Sheengai Pride Safaris you are at the right place. We had an amazing time during our weeklong aventure and everyting was organized to the finest detail. Our guide was amazing, the camps were amazing, and augustino was amazing. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would.

Tsavo East & Taita Hills Wild Life Sanctuary
The Safari was truly amazing! We were always without words, being impressed by the power of nature and its beauty.
We booked a full 3 days trips with KingTomondo and they exceeded our expectations in each areas.
Booking phase: We chose them because (1) they are fast in communication (usually they answer emails in 30'), (2) provided a clear pricing with specific indication of all items and we could pay in full via bank account without cash, (3) the price was really good for the experience compared to other offers
Safari: During the safari, we were picked up in Watamu by our driver and then dropped by in our next destination in Diani without extra cost.
We spent 3 days with the opportunity to see all the big five animals, and many else (cheetah; antilopes; orchids..) in multiple occasions in a breathless scenarios. We had a vehicle all for us the whole time and both the two accommodation in the lodges were awesome for place, budget and stay.
I would suggest KingTomondo to everyone for they reliability in booking an awesome and unforgettable trip!
We would like to book Masai Mara with them next year as well!

Great Safari
Excellent Safari through the Ngorongoro and Serengeti that my partner and I enjoyed for a week. Emanuel was a great organizer of the trip and was aware of us from the arrival to the airport until the end of the trip. I highly recommend the experience of camping on the safari and sleeping in nature surrounded by animals, it is an incomparable feeling!

Amazing Safari and unfortgettable hike up Mt Meru
We can highly recommend John and his company Royal Tiger Tours to organize your adventures in Tanzania. It is a local company, owned by a local and profits generated remain in the country.
We arranged aiport transfers, hotel overnights in Arusha, 4 day safari (Serengeti, Ngorongo, Tarangire) and Mt Meru hike with John and it was a perfect experience.
Mt. Meru trekking:
We went 3Days2Nights. Our guides, porters and chef were amazing and we really appreciated their calmness and experience. Everything was well organized. Especially on peak day (quite tough, to be honest), our guide Philbert was really supportive and great in motivating us to keep on pushing. In addion, they decided that next to the guide also a porter would come up with us, so that in case only one of us two would be able to reach the peak we would get the chance, while the other person would have a guide to return savely - this was great service (however, we were lucky to not need it :))
Generally, the huts, paths, etc. are the same for every tour company, however, the food and friendliness of the people was outstanding and we felt very comfortable with this setup.
Safari (Serengeti, Ngorongo Crater, Tarangiere):
As with the trekking, also the safari was perfectly organized and an unforgettable experience! In particular, our guide/driver Esron (Ezron?) was a real expert with lots of experience and good stories to share. With his help we were able to spot many animals, including the big5. It felt generally very safe and reliable. Can also highly recommend (even though its the budget option) to opt for sleeping in tents within the national parks (w/o fence). Tents and equipment is good standard and we were able to hear a lot of wildlife around us during night - definetely a special feeling!
From our experience, Serengeti and Ngorongo Crater were amazing! Tarangire was very good, too, however as this was our last day after a few long days before, it felt not as impressive as the other 2. This is however not to say its not worth a visit. Maybe its more impressive if the tour were to start in Tarangire and then would went on to the other 2.
One minor thing I would propose to change for John: We really liked the concept that there is no plastic bottles allowed during the Mt Meru trekking / Arusha Nationalpark. This could be applied for the safari as well, e.g. having a big water gallon (20 liters or so) in the car rather than small bottles - this would leave less potential of trash ending-up in the park.
Thank you and your colleagues again for a great time!!
Cheers

Memories to last a lifetime
Bluerange provides great communication from start to finish. And also great service. All transfers between hotels and airports and meeting points were flawless, and the entire team are so kind!
I did a 6 day tour to Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli, and our tour guide Edward was absolutely amazing. He could spot a cheetah from 1Km away, which also provided great opportunity for some really great photography. He knew everything about the animals, and was very very informative. And always created a fun and safe environment on game drives.
So if you're looking for a really great company to work with, don't hesitate to go with Bluerange!! They're really great!!

Designing thoughtful, customized, responsible travel itineraries
I travelled to the Masaai Mara with my parents and husband this past summer. Chalo Africa provided us with an excellent recommendation of the camp in the Mara and designed our safari itinerary with thoughtful precision. The camp they chose - Speke's Camp, turned out be fantastic. They were beautifully designed, comfortable, and provided excellent hospitality. They were also very respectful of the animals and the reserve, and provided a car per group, ensuring we had our privacy throughout the trip. Chalo Africa selected this camp with care and provided competitive rates even during a very busy season in the Mara (during the great migration). They provided reading lists before our trip, packing check lists, and ensured that the planning was done to the last detail. We had a fantastic time, and highly recommend their services!

Amazing Tanzania
TS had made a pruposal according to our wish and within our budget.
The driver/guide, Philip, was always in time, was very good in discovering animals and in explanation. This was not only by animals but also about the country and his people.
The Taranquire NP was exciting. The tented lodges very good. Only the family room in Hhando Coffee Lodge was beneath our expectations.
All with all: we have lief our trip very much and we can recommandate a trip with Tanzania Specialist. Com.

A friendly and super efficient consultant
I was pretty impressed when Andy phoned me in UK. Other companies EMailed me, some were far too 'pushy'.
Andy's task was to find a suitable Safari for myself, at 72, travelling with my 33 year old son.
Hamilton's Tented Camp was just perfect for comfort, service, but above all , the fantastic number of animals and birds that paraded past our tent, day and night.
But Nick , our guide, found us so much more in the Concession on our six Game Drives.
This was truly the best holiday I have ever had. Thank you, Andy.
