Fantastic safari
Fantastic safari over 3 days in Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. Guide was very informative and accommodation&food were great. We were also lucky to see all the big 5s in this tour - so very satisfied

Our tour operator was keenly warm, caring and well- qualified in his calling.
KiliTwende provided my brother and I an experience of a lifetime in just a few short days. Not only did we experience the awesome nature of three of Tanzania's National Parks, we also got to explore the cultural side of Moshi Town. My Brother and I greatly appreciated Robert Woiso showing us the Moshi Urban Market and suggesting two local restaurants with amazing cuisine. The Keys Hotel staff treated us warmly as they saw to our every need and question. It was like staying with friends or family. Robert, our game parks driver, displayed an abundant wisdom concerning the animals and the environment. And oftentimes in a humorous fashion. High marks also to our "stomach engineer" Vitos for supplying us with delectable nutrition along the way.

A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE - KENYA SAFARI
We had one of the best experiences and an amazing safari this past holiday. It was one of the most breathtaking trips that we have ever taken. It was an extraordinary safari that we will live to remember! Thanks to Mzingo Wild Adventures!!
Anne impressed us with their outstanding preparation and quick response to our ever-unending questions. By nature, safaris are unpredictable, with a thousand and one different things that can and do go wrong. We were supremely very fortunate overall but that comes with preparedness and expertise. Though, for the things that did pop up as potential problems, Anne and the team recognized them early and attended to them immediately. For that, we are immensely thankful. Thank you all for your professionalism. I also found the quote for our all-around safari very competitive compared to other tour operators.
In particular, our driver guide John was professional. He was always well-prepared and knowledgeable. He was very courteous and patient with us and provided us with the most complete support that we could ever wish for. It was such a pleasure to be with him during our trip. His 12 years of experience are an invaluable asset for the Mzingo safari company. John taught us very much about the animals and plants, in addition to discussing Kenya's history and the culture of the Kenyan people. He is from the Kikuyu community which happens to be the biggest community in Kenya. We truly enjoyed the history of Kenya which we learned from him.
Our lodges and camps were of excellent quality overall. The staff and facilities were top-notch while still being trapped in a natural environment. We enjoyed the warmth and closeness of the staff who predominantly live in Mara and are from the Maasai tribe. We were perplexed by the simplicity of their living in the bush! With hundreds of cows that they treasure so much.
Generally speaking, we returned to our home with an experience of a lifetime. We will always remember the safari that Mzingo wild Adventures and its team organized for us. It was everything we could have ever hoped to have and much more. We have hundreds of photos to show to our family and friends!
We will tell the whole world know of your tour company as you never let us down -Kudos!
For the people that care about good photos, please bring along a modern camera, you will have so much to see that it can only be a shame to yourself if you choose to use your mobile phone camera...
Our guide taught us a word in Swahili that I love to use often-Asante sana to Mzingo...this translates to Thank you very much Mzingo-i believe I'm right!!!

Friendly, reliable and responsive.
The tour organiser was extremely responsive and accomodating, as she made her best to answer our numerous questions and offer a tour that would be the most suitable for our needs (travelling alone with my 5-year old child).
The driver-guide was friendly and reliable, although not very talkative (which I personally prefer to a guide who is too chatty). His English was good and he was rather knowledgeable about wildlife, regularly checking information in books to offer us the most accurate knowledge.
The accomodation was on the overall good value for money and the minibus was quite comfortable, it just didn't have a very sophisticated air conditioning system, which meant we had to keep windows open (and thus let the sand in etc..) if we didn't want to suffocate from the heat.
The tour was quite a budget for us, but it was worth the financial effort because the opportunity to see so many wild animals is such a unique treasure which we will probably still remember in many years to come.

Beautiful safari in the Okavango Delta
The safari around the Okavango Delta was amazing. It was a completely different experience to a traditional safari. We got do a river cruise in a small boat too and saw so many hippos! It was incredible. We also drove around some of the reserves and saw lots of wildlife, sadly no big cats as the weather was a bit rainy (we did go during rainy season) but apart from that we still saw loads of animals - buffalo, giraffe, hippos, ostrich, elephants, jackals etc! We stayed in great accommodation by the Boteti river in tents but had a proper bed and shower and toilet facilities. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend Botswana! We will certainly be back!!

Memories for life
Being from Japan, visiting the mountain gorillas in Africa seemed like a distant impossible dream. And starting to plan it was overwhelming. Silverback expeditions made it all smooth for me. I inquired without no big expectations and they basically helped me craft an incredible week in Rwanda where I managed to do the gorilla trekking which was the best experience of my life and complement it with a great safari experience. Everything was perfectly organized, my requests were always taken into consideration and at the end, there's not much I could wish that could be improved. Its not a cheap experience but 100% worth it.

Isaya is always upbeat, funny, and a pleasure to spend time with.
I strongly recommend Isaya and Kihindo Safari. Isaya planned a thoughtful itinerary, and managed all the details perfectly. He clearly knew the park, understood the animals, and had a lot of knowledge to share.
