AWESOME !!!! .... Ten Stars :-)
I confess, I read reviews but I hardly ever leave any :-( When I do it's because they are well earned, be it good or bad.
Four years ago I booked a two week Tanzania safari. Finally 2023 the trip actually happened after being cancelled for three years in a row (thank you Covid). I decided two weeks wasn't long enough, after traveling so far, so I decided to add some additional time before and after the originally planned trip.
After contacting several Safari companies in Tanzania, I chose Safari360. I could not have made a better choice. They can/will customize any safari to what you want to do and where you want to go. They are safe and honest and treated us as part of their family.
Petro, the owner, was just awesome to work with. I'm sure I must have drove him crazy constantly changing details of the trip(s). With each and every email he was extremely accommodating, helpful and gracious. Totally professional and never pushy. No question, request or change was ever a problem. Peto, Thank You ... you have the patience of a saint !!!
My friend and I are avid photographers so I requested, if possible, to have a guide who had some experience in the field.
We booked a four day, three night safari to visit Lake Manyara National Park and Tarangire National Park. After a couple of days, to rest up from a very long flight, we were picked up at our hotel in Arusha. Petro came along with our guide and introduced himself and our guide Godlove. I really had no idea what to expect but had no idea that these two fellas could possibly be as amazing as they were.
Godlove was/is AWESOME. Very fluent in English, knowledgeable of the parks, people, culture and wildlife. He went above and beyond in everything he did to make our trip easy, comfortable and enjoyable.. Like Petro, he was extremely accommodating, helpful and gracious. He paid attention to the smallest of details that my next 2 week safari could never have measured up to. Thank You Godlove (again) for EVERYTHING. You made our visit and safari to Tanzani the best it possibly could have been. Nothing compared to what we experienced with you.
All the camps we were booked with offered exceptional service and accommodations. The wildlife was incredible in the parks and Godlove seemed to "just know" where we'd find the best wildlife. He also knew the behavior of the animals and what they might do next to get us in the best position for the best photos.
After returning from our "other" 2 week safari we booked again with Safari360, and of course Godlove, for 3 more days of adventures in and around Tanzania. When you've had the best, nothing else will do !!!
Do not hesitate to make your safari plans with Safari360 ... you won't be sorry. Feel free to contact me if you'd like any other information about our amazing experience with them.
With the enormous choice of safari companies, do your homework. Who you chose for Safari WILL make a difference.

Experienced, organized, knowledgeable, fun, patient and safe.
We had a phenomenal trip with Benson. We had 13 in our group including 7 kids aged 13-19. They met us at the airport and drove us to the hotel. We then left for 8 days of safari the next morning. Our guides Libertus, Zablon and Ellie were fun, knowledgeable, patient and safe. We saw all Big 5 and had incredible animal experiences including lots of young. Our guides were enthusiastic about sharing their beautiful country. We visited Tanrangire, Lake Eyasi, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We also visited the Hatabi and Togo tribes, which were wonderful experiences. The hotel accommodations were very nice. You spend a lot of time in the safari trucks, which were comfortable and well maintained. Great family time and the kids were engaged. Importantly, we felt very safe the entire time in Tanzania. We only safaried in the north circle, but if you have time, I'd recommend finishing your trip in Zanzibar.

The Best! Extremely Organized and Fantastic Staff!
My family had such a wonderful experience with Mosu! Kemy was always SO quick to respond to my messages and she ensured we had a very smooth trip. She helped me plan the trip about two months out, and she met us the day before our trip to go over our itinerary. Our guide, chef, and polers were all incredible, and we felt like family after the first day.
The trip itself is very well organized. The camping experience was very comfortable, even for my 70+ parents and two sisters (who are not inclined to go camping). The food was fantastic and well-prepared; my mom said it was the best food she'd had for the month we'd been traveling. The wilderness walks were lovely, and we saw a variety of animals (e.g. giraffes, zebras, elephants, hippos, multiple bird species, etc.) along the way.
We stayed close to the Maun Airport, and Mosu picked us up from our hotel the morning of the trip. The journey in an open-air vehicle took about 1-1.5 hours. They were kind enough to bring our bags from our previous hotel to our new hotel when we returned.
I highly recommend this trip with Mosu. It was certainly a highlight of our visit to East and Southern Africa! Thank you Kemy, Anthony, Simon, Judge, K, Mamasiq, Mindy, Shelly, Baks, and Ra Simon!!! We miss everyone!!

Excellent
We had a wonderful 13 day trip through northern Tanzania. We built the route with the agency and they gave us several choice options for accommodations. The route was exactly what we wanted. We were a little concerned because the quote was more attractive than other agencies, but our fears were unfounded. The accommodations were excellent in terms of facilities, food, and service. When we had problems with our lodging arrangements, they arranged a higher level of accommodations for us. The car was a little old. The driver-guide made every effort to make the trip go well. On our night safari at Lake Manyara, we were able to see lions hunting dikdiks. Sleeping in a tent in the center of the safari was a special experience; we could hear roars and footsteps of life outside the tent and woke up to a herd of giraffes in front of our tent. A hot air balloon ride at sunrise is highly recommended.

Well organized
Everything was very well managed. We were a large group across all age groups. The tour operators were very accommodative of our needs and made sure we were comfortable at every point.
Food:
We had our parents who preferred Indian Food. The tour operators made sure all meals always had Indian options.
Additionally, kids food options were also available
Hotels : Hotels booked very very very good. All three locations - Nairobi, Masai Mara and Malindi had gorgeous hotels.
Tour Guides : Tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We almost saw all animals (except the Black Rhino).

Best holidays, super easy to book.
I wanted to go to Kruger with my family, so my friend recommended to book it with viatu. It was super easy to book and the vacation itself was just one of the best things i've ever done. We saw so many animals because the ranger knew exactly where to look for them and not only that, but he also had so much knowledge to share. And not to mention the food...just wow.

African Paradise Safaris are the best!!!
Our very first trip to Kenya and African Paradise Safari made it an amazing adventure. First of all, our driver, Davido, was an incredible tour guide and driver with an amazing sense of humor. We saw all the animals and Davido made sure we were safe, but yet close enough to see everything. From the migration of hundreds of zebra and wildebeasts, to scores of elephants with their babies, lions on the prowl, many lions sleeping off their kills, a leopard kill, hippos galore grazing in the marshes, flamingos, hyenas, jackals, a pride of cheetahs, giraffes, water buffalos and the many smaller animals in the gazelle family. We loved seeing it all. The accommodations were always clean and had mosquito nets for the beds although we only saw one mosquito the whole trip and the food choices were good, all buffet style. Lots of Masai entertainers along the way in their bright red clothing. Just incredible. I cannot say enough about John Peters being in constant contact with us throughout the booking process. I was a little leery booking through a tour agent outside of the US but John did not disappoint. I highly recommend this tour company and would book again if I ever return for a trip to Tanzania. Thank you Davido, we miss you already!!!
