safari tour 5 days
Siya is a great guide, with a great experience.
We had the chance to discover a lot of Tanzania with him. The safari trip was amazing and Sia tried to meet our expectations every time we asked for something. Also, we had the chance to have a personal chief recommended by Siya, which was a great addition to the trip.
We definitely recommend Sia and Bahati Safari for a safari tour it’s definitely the best in town !

Cape Town and Safari was wonderful, although intense, entirely memorable and good value.
Our group of six who have travelled together extensively, enjoyed the Cape Town and Safari tour immensely. The sights in the Wester Cape and especially the safari were great. The meals, as promised were first rate - a bit simpler on safari but given the limitations with the locations they were fine. The guides were top notch. Every one of them - and there were several counting rangers and one day tour guides at the different sites, was excellent. Really the most satisfaction that I can express was with the quality of the guides. Knowledgeable, safe, dependable, adaptable.
The safari sites were amazing. Especially interesting was Humala even though the wildlife viewing there was less than Tshukudfu and the incomparable Kruger. Humala was a delight in its remoteness, and the land was out of this world uniquely beautiful. Our guide there could answer every question except concerning the geology - a personal and perhaps quirky interest, and to this she admitted the void in her knowledge. Can't be expert in everything but not faking it, as she did is the best approach. The value for us was great - maybe even better as we paid in full in 2019. Very possibly the price has increased since then. If we had paid more for our tour my satisfaction would still be high. The only comment that I would like to provide to GTD concerns marketing. Many who I spoke to came to GTD and this tour through some sort 'limited time half price deal' - in fact every guest that I discussed this with did. It struck me, and others that I spoke to as inauthentic. That and my observation that some guests were ill prepared for the rigours of the this travel; safari vehicles and long days etc. Nevertheless bottom line: great value, great experience

Most excellent
All the tour guides are capable, confident, competent, and caring, for their visitors. The entire staff go out of their way to make sure that the experience is superb. I was only there for two nights but the one day out allowed me to see so many animals I was amazed. Along the way I met several people who had been out for several days in a row because they simply loved the experience so much and couldn't get enough. I would recommend this safari company without hesitation, and I would certainly go back again.

Our trip to the safari with “African big cats safari” was amazing!!!
Before the travel to tanzania i asked 6 safari companies for tour proposal for our honeymoon and after some iterations we decided to give our trust to African big cats safari and they didn’t let us down.
The company answered to every question and request we had before the trip (and we had a lot).
The Manager Emanuel met us in the first day to explain us how the trip is going to be and to make sure every request we made would be done. He also met us in the last day to make sure our safari tour was everything we asked for, AND IT WAS!!!
Our tour guide Endeni was absolutely amazing!!!
For the entire trip he made sure that we will see everything, with his hawk’s eyes he saw every thing around us (even far away or well hidden) and pointed us to there. He made sure we will always have the best view to anything we encountered and take care for every need or wish we had during the safari.
Endeni was very polite, knowledgeable and friendly and the best tour guide someone could ask for.
Our safari was in a luxury level with very good lodges: ilboru, kitela, and an amazing stay in kubu kubu inside the serengeti!
We highly recommending African big cats safari!!!

High quality safari trip provider to see the best spots in Tanzania
Firstly, we spent quite a bit of time reviewing and messaging various safari companies. But the moment we spoke to Jane at Brilliant Safari we knew we were in safe hands.
The company is young relative to other providers hence they have fewer reviews, but don't let that put you off at all.
Their professionalism, communication, quality of their vehicles and the guide we had were superb. I have done quite a lot of safari trips before but they arranged this trip perfectly.
They also added some really nice touches to the trip like giving us matching safari hats to commence, providing plenty of snacks and a cool box full of water and soft drinks that lasted us throughout the trip.
Gabriel, our guide, was hugely experienced and very knowledgeable. We felt like we were in safe hands straight away and he seemed to understand behavioural aspects of the animal's in such a way that we stayed for longer in certain situations to catch more action.
The communication with Jane was excellent throughout and they even dropped us back at Kilimanjaro airport to help us on our flight out of Tanzania.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR SAFARI ADVENTURE. THEY WERE SIMPLY AMAZING.

The Big 5 in the Kruger Park
We had a fantastic time time with Wildlife Safaris and we recommend this operator to anyone. The guide, Simon, was very experienced and knowledgable, genuinely wanted to show us as the Big 5 (and succeeded), and was very likeable and fun to talk to. The tour itself was very well organized. Communication during the booking and payment process was flawless.

Incredible experience
We spent 4 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I have to admit we might have been a bit lucky, but we literally saw everything just within the first day -> 3 lionesses killing a buffalo, crocodiles eating a dead hippo, pride of lions with 7 cubs walking a playing right next to our car and so much more... Really amazing experience made even better by our knowledgeable guide Gilbert. Highly recommended.

Fantastic wildlife experience without hustle
We had a fantastic time with Tony Mobile Safaris and we recommend this operator without hesitation. The guide, Jack, was very experienced and knowledgable, he knew how to track animals, genuinely wanted to show us as much as possible, knew about photography and how to park the car for the best possible lighting and pictures. Bongo and D, the team managing the camps and food were going out of their way to make things as comfortable as possible for us. The food was great, there were always vegetables and even dessert, incredible what one can do in such basic conditions.
The tour was very well organized and we had incredible wildlife sightings. Jack knew all the spots and tailored the game drives to us. The final excursion, the cruise on the Chobe river, highly exceeded our expectations - instead of bing put on a big loud party boat, which we expected, we used a tiny one owned by Tony and had a real game drive - Jack made sure we have time to see all the birds, crocs, hippos etc. that we came across.
The only wrinkle was communication before the safari - we would have liked the salespeople to be more active. We needed to ask for updates about our payments although they said they would let us know as soon as they receive the money. At one point we got a bit nervous, but in the end all worked out - trust these guys and enjoy your safari.

Fantastic tour
We were slightly nervous about going with a small company we hadn’t heard of but read the reviews and decided to go for it - and we’re so glad we did!
Organisation was brilliant - having Anna and the office staff to answer our numerous questions so well and promptly was great. We went for 5 day northern safari circuit and it was perfect trip - visited 4 areas , all diffferent and all beautiful especially Ngorogoro. Guide, Deo, was great - found all the animals we wanted to see (excels rhinos but they are few in number) , he was a very assertive Jeep driver and got us where we wanted to go fast! Accomodation was great too - comfort safari tents felt luxurious, beds and bathrooms great. All picks ups and drop offs to airports were well organised and on time too.
Another highlight was Zanzibar extension - extended it by one night and glad we did as Reef and beach hotel fabulous - beautiful location on its own backed by forest full of red colobus monkeys - the only place they still live wild in the world .
Thank you for our once in a life time experience ,

Reliable, trustworthy and very friendly
Our trip to Chobe national park was wonderfully well organised. We were collected on time and had a wonderful drive to the border. All the formalities were done efficiently with all the help we needed.
The morning boat ride was amazing. We had a fantastic guide who was able to show us so many things.
The afternoon jeep safari was just as good. Once again a very knowledgeable guide who even managed to find a pride of lions to observe.
It was a great day perfectly organised for us by cultural vibes.
I can highly recommend them and would hesitate to book further trips the next time we visit Victoria Falls
