Muddy shoes, wet clothes, happy Gorillas and Humans.
We called in 2 days before the Safari and had about 2 hours later a friendly guy in our hotel to finish up the booking. We were picked up in the morning exactly on time (not so common in Africa) and had a pleasant drive to our destination. Nice hotel and next day a super great experience to see the Gorillas in the mountains of Bwindi Impenetrable forest. It was raining, muddy and we got really wet, still smiling. A must ONCE in a lifetime. Next day our driver Steven brought us home safely in the wild traffic of Uganda. Thank you Steven and team.

Enjoyed Safari in Tanzania
We were 4 people went to Tanzania north for safari. The trip was really good, we saw the migration in Serengeti. Sino Africa did a good job gave us good advice. We went to Lake Natron and spend two nights there, the hotel was good, and we saw lot of flamingos there. Thank you Sino Africa Safari, we became very good friends now, because you treated as part of your family. Please take care of yourself in Kenya. See you in Kenya next time!

Once in a lifetime experience- perfect from start to finish
We did the 6 day Safari. This safari was an incredible experience from the moment we arrived to Kenya. Sylvester met us in the airport upon arrival and made sure we were all checked in to our hotel. We stayed in beautiful places every night. He was flexible with planning our itinerary. Every place we stayed was inside the parks which made it possible for us to get every last second out of our game drives. Our driver Ben was amazing. He has a university degree in wildlife and was extremely knowledgable. He was really dedicated to giving us a great experience, and was overall a great guy. We asked him so many questions and he was really open to talk about any topic. He really made the trip special for us. We had the option to upgrade our vehicle to a Toyota Land Cruiser which was 100% worth it since the roads in the parks can be very rough, and we saw many vans getting stuck while we were able to drive through and continue our safari with no issues. We saw all the big 5 and had close encounters with rhinos, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, and more. This time of year, all the animals have babies which made the experience all the more special. The photos we got are almost too beautiful to believe. Our trip ended with a complimentary tour of the Karen Blixen museum and Giraffe Centre. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I could not recommend this tour more highly.

Relaxed tour through infinite Kruger
Our Guide Shoes met us on time at 06:00 in our lodge. After "imigration" formalities at Kruger Gate, Shoes let us participate of his enormous knowledge of all what has to do with Kruger: plants, animals, enviroment. We booked a "private tour" (three persons) and enjoyed every minute on this 200 km trip through pure nature. Khalanga Safaris with his owner Shoes is probably the best address for a breathtaking tour.

Outstanding organization - Antony from Tazama Holidays created a wonderful safari experience for us.
I have over 20 years of tour guiding and tour leading experience all over the world and this was my fifth time on a Safari in Kenya. Needles to say, I wanted this to be a perfect experience to share with my wife and my friends who were visiting Africa for the first time. Antony and Tazama Holidays delivered above all expectations.
Communication was fast and to the point at all times - Antony never took more than 24 hours to reply to my emails, even when he was leading another Safari. Also, in the week before the trip, we connected on WhatsApp and this way we could iron out all last minute details very efficiently.
He suggested and made changes to the initial itinerary in order to deliver an even better experience based on our requests - this happened seamless. He re-quoted the itinerary several times without skipping a beat based on my change requests.
While Antony, the owner of Tazama Holidays, led our safari himself and we felt very fortunate about this, we met with other Tazama groups during our journey and the travelers seemed very happy with their guides. He always made sure the hotels took great care of us, giving us great tents or rooms. For the few experiences we had where he did not guide us himself, he made sure to choose the local guides very carefully.
The car was spotless every time we got in for a game drive, the cooler always fully stocked with water, he was always friendly and positive and gave us great insights not only in the wildlife we saw but also in the life of the people of the Kenyan villages we drove by.
Antony is a great wildlife spotter and ha a very good knowledge for all the parks we visited. I was used to the way Safari guides use their radio to share information on the animals spotted so their clients can see the great Kenyan wildlife and Antony made good use of this feature - if you have been to Kenya before you are probably used to this - a whole bunch of safari cars gathered together to see a pride of lions, or a cheetah, etc. Antony, though surprised me a few times by seemingly driving the opposite direction from everybody else, sometimes even turning the radio off and then, suddenly, we would be the first car on the spot for a great sighting - the best of all was spotting a leopard in Samburu, an old male, that had not been spotted in over 5 months. He seemed to have a 6th sense for these things.
At the end of the trip we asked him for arranging a dinner for us in Nairobi since our flight was around midnight. I was familiar with Carnivores in Nairobi having a relationship with all Safari operators, being taken there several times over the years at the end of my trips and I find it quite touristy. I mentioned this to Antony and he assisted us with finding another venue - we ended up having dinner at the Talisman restaurant instead - a fantastic and unexpected fine dining experience in Kenya. We all loved the choice and can only recommend it for other travelers.
All being said, I cannot praise Antony and Tazama Holidays enough for making this experience so wonderful for us.
Thank you Antony!

Fantastic experience，well designed
It is a wonderful trip with our guide William. He is definitely the highlight of the trip, experienced, charming, informative and very thoughtful. With William you can always find the best spot to watch the animals and learn about their stories. It is such a memorable experience, I do wish I could visit Serengeti again in the future!

A very interesting and amazing experience, Lots of memories were made and a trip I won't forget.
I think this whole trip was organised very well. And the safari itself was a great way to break up our work days. It was a school trip to volunteer at a primary school in Moshi. All of our travelling and activities were run by Afrishare. Everything was so amazing, I would definitely recommend this.

Our hike up Kilimanjaro and to the waterfall was well guided and all tour guides were very friendly. Ibrahim was terrific and did a great job coordinating our work with Soweto Primary School. Overall thank you for an amazing trip!
