This was a fascinating experience, both in terms of nature and in culture!
The trip to Masai Mara was incredible, filled with amazing animals and wondrous scenery, especially at sunrise. The guide was conscientious about keeping us in the vehicle for our safety, but there were times when he would go off the trails, which did raise some objections among our group. I took the five day tour, but I would recommend a three-day safari instead. The only real bad part of it was the camp, and really only when we tried to sleep--the mosquito nets were ineffective, and on the second night, the power was out (I use a CPAP when I sleep, so this was a real problem for me), and as a result, I did not sleep well until the third night when we got to stay in a hotel.
I and other members of our group found the meeting in the Masai tribe very interesting but a bit problematic: When we were offered a chance to visit their village, we were charged a fee, which they told us was to support the village. We accepted this, but then we were confronted with peddlers in the village and railroaded into making a donation to the school we visited. This can strike a western tourist as dishonest, and it may help avoid awkward confrontations if these things are also mentioned upfront instead of sprung on us at different stages of the visit.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Sean W Ryan
The scenery was incredible and very reminiscent of places near my home in the US, but due to illness and extra cost to do so, I did not get a chance to take a walk in the area.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Sean W Ryan
Beautiful scenery, especially at sunrise, but we were mobbed by peddlers at the gate. This, however, was quickly forgotten when we saw the amazing variety of animals there! It definitely exceeded my expectations!

Friendly and helpful
We did the 2 Day Chobe Park Safari tour and everything has exceeded our expectations. Our Botswana guide was fantastic. We got to see all the animals we were hoping to see and this thanks to the guide who went above and beyond for many hours, in the afternoon and in the early morning, to help us find them. Also the river safari was interesting. We chose the overnight stay in the lodge and it was a good accomodation. DK Safari has been a good choice. Recommended.

Extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable tour company!
My friend and I had a great time visiting the gorillas in Volcanoes National park with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours! Our guide Martin was very knowledgeable and accommodating and Aron (who coordinated everything for us) was quick to reply and very helpful. I left my sunglasses in the Safari car and they went above and beyond to return them to me. I highly recommend Safari 2 Gorilla Tours.

Well organized, very good guides, nice helpful driver, great lodges!
In one word AMAZING!! Our 4 day Safari with Sele as guide/driver. He knew a lot to tell and showed us a lot. Nothing was too much for Sele. The local guides Nema and Alex also told us extensively about various tribes. The campsite and lodges were beautiful, we were warmly welcomed and the food was excellent. We enjoyed it and have wonderful memories of it.

Amazing experience! Really passionate team, awesome luxurious location in the wild.
The experience that Nyerere tented camp offered was magical! After a whole day of game drive with a really experienced and passionate ranger, Rama, we stayed in the most beautiful, luxurious and relaxed tent whilst you'll hear the wildlife around you. The next day, we did a bush walk which was amazing. We were able to see loads of smaller animals upclose and guided by Didi the bushman. Nyerere National park really offers a unique experience. You'll have the feeling of being alone whilst being surrounded by elephants, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, hippos and many more!
This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and I would highly recommend these guys!

Absolutely fantastic tour operator the services were amazing and our guide James was wonderful.
Everything we had organized via Full Package Adventures was amazing. Faraja was fantastic in organizing prior to our arrival, we made a lots of changes and special requests as this was our honeymoon, and nothing was too much of an ask.
Our guide James, where can I start! They call it the big 5, I think it should be the big 6. He is an exceptional guide, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, warm and welcoming, he is a rare find and for anyone who wants a relaxed but fun and knowledgeable tour guide. 100% ask for James.
I would 100% recommend Full Package Adventures and James to anyone looking for Safari in Tanzania.
