Amazing experience, incredible wildlife
Incredibly easy to see most of the big fives (we missed the rhino)
Sceneries are amazing, although possibly not as good as Namibia or Kenya
Food was always alright
Transportation, guide and accommodation always met expectations or more

Amazing Safari Holiday.
We are just back from the most amazing safari holiday in Tanzania, organised by Rama at Hazina Afrika.
From my first contact with Rama everything was so easy to organise all I had to do was choose what I wanted and Rama sorted it, even down to beanbags to rest our large cameras on to get really great shots of the wildlife. We choose the 10 day dry season package and it was full on from the minute we arrived, I loved every minute of it.
Rama met us on the first morning which was great and explained everything to us. He also met us on our way home to see how we got on which I thought was really good.
We flew to the Northern Serengeti and met our driver/guide Amani at the airstrip. We started our first drive straight away and spent the next eight days out on drives while making our way back to Arusha with the best driver/guide, Amani. We saw everything I hoped to and more from a river crossing of the Wildebeest to a Cheetah killing a gazelle, and he also organised a visit to a Masai village while we were there, which was one of the highlights of the trip. The accommodations were all great, I would highly recommend staying a few nights in the tented camps, it was a fantastic experience.
I would highly recommend using Hazina Afrika to organise a trip, Rama will make it very easy, all you have to do is turn up.
We had an amazing time, thanks to Rama for putting the trip together and to Amani who made sure we had such an amazing time.

Best Safari ever
Safari with Okoa Africa Tours:
We were 3 nights and 4 days with Chef (which means chef) Vitalis and the driver Alifa on the way and it could not have been better, they have a special praise. The smooth email contact in advance was also good.
The only downside, you have to pay the rest of the paid safari in dollars in cash in the office, which led to fees of 45 dollars, because we have no dollar currency in Germany, had to be exchanged in Tazania, which was very awkward on the bank.

Couldn’t Gave Asked For Better!
My son took me on an African holiday as i had always wanted to go there. We travelled through Kenya and Tanzania with the Predators Safari Group. We had Timoth as our guide through Kenya. He is amazing and very knowledgeable. We had an older person in our group and he went above and beyond to ensure she was looked after and enjoyed her time. Throughout Tanzania George was our guide and yet again we were blessed to have someone so wonderful and knowledgeable. Both guides ensured we saw so much on our safaris, knew the places to go to find the animals, and knew the names of all the wildlife! Highly recommend them both and I would ask for them if you use Predators!
The vehicles they use are clean and tidy and very comfortable. We were lucky there was only 3 of us in our car, but looking at some of the other tour groups with sometimes 10 or more we were very glad the most that could have been in ours was 6. This way everyone gets a window seat! We will definitely be back within the next 2 years and look forward to catching up with them both!

Excellent safari company and driver/guide
Transtrek safari were recommended to us and they didn’t disappoint. Daniel was very helpful planning our first ever safari and numerous questions being promptly answered. I have type 1 diabetes and was unsure about taking my medication on a dusty hot safari but I needn’t have worried as Daniel reassured me this would not be an issue and they would put a cool box/fridge in the vehicle for my medication. We stayed in 7 different lodges, tented camps, chalets and a boutique hotel and Daniel arranged fridges in the rooms for me. Our driver Tony was excellent, friendly, very knowledgeable, ensuring we were in the best position to take photos of all the animals and really made our safari fun. Every morning Tony got ice for the cool box to keep my medication in during our 10 day safari trip/game drives.
Everything went to plan including our flight to the Malindi coast. Highly recommend Transtrek Safari and driver/guide Tony and they would be our first choice for our next Safari.

It was a perfect tour.
My guide Emanuel was a perfect guide.
He always made us feel at home. And he gave me a smile. If you have a problem while traveling, he will solve it all, so don't worry. He taught me the spirit of Hakuna matata! It will be a perfect choice.

Excellent Safari - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli
We have just returned from a fantastic trip to Kenya and Zanzibar, without a doubt our highlight of the trip was our six day safari with African Challenge. Our trip started in Nairobi where Kennedy booked us two nights in the Best Western Meridian Hotel, it was a good mid-range hotel with all the amenities you required and friendly staff. Kennedy provided one of the nights complementary.
We met Kennedy the day before our safari and he was most welcoming. We asked about the Carnivore Cafe and he provided us a 40% discount and arranged a driver. The meal was fantastic - it's not hard to tell why this is a well recommended tourist restaurant!
The next day we headed out on our safari, Kennedy met us in the morning to introduce us to our driver for the safari (who was also called Kennedy!). Our driver was fantastic, knowledgeable and did an impeccable job of driving us over long distances to different reserves. His expertise and intimate knowledge of the parks meant we had no trouble at all finding the big five - we achieved it on day two! He was patient, friendly and accommodating.
We were also lucky enough to be a family of three in a van to ourselves. The vehicle was comfortable and the pop up roof gave us 360 views across the parks. A lot of tour operator vans (TUI, Hayes&Jarvis, KUONI etc) had full vans and you would often see people scrambling over each other to get a view - we didn't have that problem at all. Plus we benefited from ratio of 1 guide to 3 guests so it was much easier to negotiate and plan our drives.
The accommodation AfricanChallenge arranged was excellent. We stayed in SOPA Masai Mara, SOPA Lake Nakuru (which had amazing views from your bed) and Kibo Amboseli. The lodges were luxury and given the option I would highly recommend paying for a good nights sleep as the safari can be very tiring.
We could not list a single bad thing about African Challenge. Orchestrated perfectly by Kennedy - he even rounded off the trip by arranging a free of change transfer to the airport at 5am for us!
Two Top tips:
1. Bring a pillow and entertainment for the long drives between parks.
2. Get Kennedy's WhatsApp - he'll message you during the trip to check you're OK!
Thank you very much to both Kennedy's for their excellent guidance and making the trip as special as it was.

Unforgettable experience
We appreciate a lot how much the staff helped us in everything they could to provide us with what we suggested,needed or willing to do. The logistics, communication, information provided...everything was well organized and on top. They thought about every detail from the pick up to the drive back to the airport so that we could just be worried about enjoying the safari. They were very open to listen and try to accommodate what we wanted in order to get as much as possible from it. Thanks a lot to Olivia and Lucas for being cheerful and understanding! We loved it!!!
