Hike and safari Experience
We used Zepisa African Safaris for Kilimanjaro hike on the Machame route as well as for Serengeti safari. Zepisa exceeded our expectations with the amount of care and diligence shown towards us. Nyemo was very responsible and quick with responses to our numerous emails and phone calls for months before we started our journey. Our hike leader, Dickson, and his team , made sure we were comfortable and well fed throughout our 7 day hike and ensured all 12 of us in our group successfully and safely summited Mt.Kilimanjaro.
During our 4 day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangere National Park, our Safari guides, Michael played gracious hosts and patiently drove us around to see all the animals in the parks. We highly recommend Zepisa African Safaris to anyone who is considering to hike or want to do a Safari in Tanzania.

An ideal way to discover Tanzania
For our family holiday in Tanzania in August 2018, we opted for the 10-Day “Complete Tanzania” Tour offered by Benson Safaris Tanzania, supplemented at the end with a 2 day hike in the Kilimanjaro National Park. It was a perfect way to discover this beautiful country. Tanzania abounds with images that are iconic to Africa and which are simply breathtaking. We chose Benson Safaris on the basis of all the good things said about them on the Safari Bookings website and our experience more than met our already high expectations. The 10-day tour offered is a wonderful way to discover Tanzania and to see a wide range of different landscapes, fauna and flora. We were also given the opportunity to learn about the different cultures of Tanzania and this was very interesting, especially the trips to meet the Bushmen and Tatoga tribes. Benson and his colleagues were extremely efficient and helpful at all stages of planning the trip and adapting it to our needs. Our main driver and guide, Amani, was wonderful. He taught us many things about animals, plants and life in Tanzania, made us feel really welcome and generally made our trip highly enjoyable. We were very pleased with our accommodation which was varied and comfortable. The only less than perfect night’s sleep was on Mount Kilimanjaro but we knew what to expect and it was worth it for the fantastic views! (N.B. we only climbed to 3400m). We are also grateful to the other guides who helped out on specific days and who were all excellent: Daniel for Lake Natron, Ramadhani for the village of the bushmen/Lake Eyasi and Shabani for Mount Kilimanjaro. Thanks also to Zablo and the Kilimanjaro crew. Choosing a local company with an impeccable reputation is, I believe, the best approach when organising a trip like this. We can highly recommend Benson Safaris and all the people who took care of us during our trip - thanks again to all of you for what was an unforgettable experience for us and hope to see you again one day!

The worst tour company I ever experienced
We went on a 3-Days safari - The Masai Mara.
The driver arrived late, the vehicle was uncomfortable and we did not feel safe throughout the journey. Our « guide » was more a driver than interested in being helpful or showing us around. The food was very cheap and disgusting and no drinking water in the camp. No hot water on the first day of the stay.
The guide decided not to do the safari on last day morning and he appeared on at 9 am.
I do not recommend to do the safari with them. Robert and his staff are not helpful, friendly and informative

Unbelievable!
Everything was awesome. The city tour, the waterfalls in the Meru Park, the one-day safari in Ngorongoro and the accommodation. A luxury service with backpacker budget! Definitely I recommend them! Don't hesitate!

Mystical, magical and biblical.
All arrangements were easily made by email and were seamless. Service was great from airport pickup at the beginning to drop off at the end.
Patrick, our guide, was attentive and flexible, knowledgable about animals, friendly, and tireless in his pursuit of of game. He talked when we wanted to talk but was quiet when we wanted quiet. We had a great mix of accommodations, from luxurious to "rustic" but even the rustic were great.
We not only saw all the Big Five but the entire Big Nine as well. Food varied from "fine enough" to outstanding but even "fine enough" was quite satisfying.My wife and I essentially had a private tour with Patrick. I definitely would not have been happy with a group of 6 or more strangers but could see going with 2 or 4 friends.
We spent almost all day, every day, on the road, in pursuit of game. While we would have liked to spend more time in relaxing in the lodges, I would not have given up my time on the road. I don't how how you can make that decision beforehand but it's something to think about, maybe even before you go.
I would use Bushdrifters again. It is a small outfit providing personal service. Last, but not least, the price was much lower than the big travel companies. There are people who payed a lot more money than we did but saw the same lions.

Awesome
Ronald was very knowledgeable of the area. My girlfriend and I went to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Ronald knew where to go and where to find all the animals. He was very courteous and patient and provided wifi on the trip.

the most extreme experience in my life
Everything in safari tour was very perfect for me.
Drivers are so kind to us. they explain so detail about the name of animals in safari. and they also explain about TANZANIAN culture and history story. it was very useful for us to understand TZ.
the service for food and shower system was very good. I really want to revisit the Tanzania.
