"Go local for an amazing experience"
Amongst the tour companies we contacted Explore Green Africa Safaris was by far the most responsive, and understood what we wanted and tailored the safari perfectly to us,questions and changes were dealt with in a timely fashion and we headed to Tanzania very confident in the arrangements. On arrival we were not disappointed, and as soon as the safari started we knew we had made the correct choice. Our Guide Michael was a perfect match for us, and the 9 days we spent in the bush with him were a dream. There was never the feeling of being rushed through anything, we could stop and observe the animals and birds at will, with Michael filling it in with his years of knowledge of the wildlife. All of the accommodations were well located in or near the parks and were very nice. I only wish we had had more time over all, and that was after 9 days! There is some much to see and experience in Tanzania and we just scratched the surface, this safari wouldn't be possible without Explore Green Africa Safaris!
Would recommend them to everybody.

Well taken care of
I am happy I chose this company for my safari. Everything was well organized and I felt in good hands : pick up at the airport, meeting with Emmanuel at the hotel... important details when you travel on your own.
The safari offered way more than I expected. I have seen more animals than I would have ever thought. The food was delicious and the camps nicely located in a wild environment. Thank you for this enjoyable moment.

Proffesional and costumer well taken care
They picked us up at Kilimanjaro airport at 9pm (the driver was waiting for us at the entrance). The vehicle was very comfortable and when we arrived at thd lodge, we were given the briefing for the safari next morning. Everything was well organized and they know how to keep the costumer happy and comfy. They knew where and how to spot different animals (even those that where almost invisible). I trully recommend Suricata safaris

5 days of safari
Great experience! A very well run program. No problem, we saw the big five! With a French-speaking guide, who explained the country's culture, history, lifestyles, hunting and animal migration patterns.
A cook at our disposal and available!

Wonderful 7-day-safari
We had a wonderful 7-day-safari through Tsavo West, Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Nationalpark. Allan organized our whole costumized safari in only 2 days as we booked very spontaneously! The communication per mail was very good, he always responded immediately. Simon is the perfect driverguide with his excellent knowledge about the nature, animals and local culture as well as the best spots for great animal sightings. Also he never rushed but gave us enough time for watching animals and taking pictures. Not only did we see all Big Five but also many many other animals. The accomodations we had were amazing. As we are on a vegan diet, Allan made sure that we had all vegan meals. We recommend to book a Safari with Back of Africa Adventure 100%!!!
Thank you very much for a wonderful time!

Trip of a lifetime!
Tanzania Exclusive Journeys provided the best experience possible from the very start when tailoring the itinerary with Jane through to the actual safari with a highly professional guide in Marc! As a solo traveller I had the safari to myself and loved every minute of it. The accommodation they selected was amazing both with locations and comfort. Ally was extremely knowledgeable and provided great insight into history, culture, flora and fauna. Obviously the highlight being able to see the Big 5 and plenty of other animals running wild in their environment. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks for a memorable time guys.

A great experience
I am really grateful for the communication with Almighty Kilimanjaro and Rasheedy from the get-go as I got all the information I needed about the trip right from the start and this helped me in planning what I needed for each day of the climb. Though there was frustration regarding getting my referral visa, it turned out okay as I did not need to apply as early as the embassy website noted and it turned out that Almighty Kilimanjaro's timing for sending me the documents I needed wasn't late after all. Rasheedy was always responsive when I asked questions and that's appreciated as well.
Now for the actual climb, meeting the team was great and everyone was always extremely friendly (especially since I ended up being the only one for the climb, I definitely felt a ton of attention, which I may not be so used to but everyone was doing their job at the end of the day so I'm grateful for that). Emmanuel was an attentive lead guide who seemed to know his stuff and pointed out interesting facts, flora (not so much fauna out there over this period) and much more. He also made sure we always left early and beat the crowds, which made everything much easier. Joseph, the assistant guide, was always super friendly, constantly smiling and helpful. Evans, the chef, was always enviably calm and also friendly, which I really admired. Always great to watch him swiftly move from cooking one dish to the next. I just feel bad I couldn't eat much as we got higher and I definitely wish I had all that delicious food now that I am back on the ground. Babelu (waiter) was always respectful and always helpful even when I got grouchy when things got harder for me and Daudi, Michael & Bam (porters) were amazing all through, though I couldn't speak to them as much due to the language barrier. Sadly, Michael had to leave a bit early due to problems at home, hope all is well now.
All in all, without this team and their support, I never would have made it to the top especially in the last 3 days when aches and pains starting creeping up from everywhere. Only thing I'd say is maybe for my peace of mind, it might have been good to take my oxygen levels twice a day. I understand that the lead guide was not too worried about me because he knows his stuff and could tell I would be fine based on my symptoms and since I was the only one, he knew more about how I was feeling on a daily basis compared to people in groups; but seeing those levels too may have made this clear to me as well instead of imagining all sorts in my head as we often do when we are faced with new challenges. But all's well that ends well and since I did get checked a number of times during the trip, I am sure if I had just asked for more checks to calm my mind, the team would definitely be fine with that. So it's just a matter of good communication.
I'm really happy I made it to the top with Almighty Kilimanjaro and look forward to my next Safari adventure with them.

best operator ever!
Robert was the best driver you can imagine! He read our every wish from our eyes and we had more fun than ever before! Definitely we would recommend the whole tour company and especially Robert Kuambati as a safari driver, we will surely come again!
