He was fun, played music for us and also very friendly making the experience exceptional.
Karibu safaris is the right choice we made (my sister and I) while we were considering a safari booking to Masaai Mara.From the workers at the office to the Game driver (Mark ) who was amazing , very friendly, fun and social all through our entire Trip. You guys made the experience 10times Better. Thank you!
Would definitely choose you again for my next trip and Recommend you guys

Outstanding!
When we first considered travelling to Africa we contacted some UK travel agents however it wasn't until African Welcome Safaris was recommended to us that we appreciated how important it was that our agent was 'on the ground' and had specialist knowledge of the region. Kathi Simon put together a fantastic itinerary that managed to capture all the places that we wanted to visit but not only that but with much greater value for money than the UK agents. This included arranging upgrades on both Rovos Rail and the Zambezi Queen river boat. All our transfers worked like clockwork and the private guide that Kathi chose for us in Cape Town was outstanding. Kathi stayed in touch with us both before and during our holiday and nothing was too much trouble. She even recommended restaurants for us to eat in Cape Town and made reservations on our behalf. My wife and I were incredibly impressed with African Welcome Safaris, as indeed other friends of ours have been, and we would not hesitate to recommend them if you are intending to visit Africa.

Wonderful Safari Tour with a perfect guide
We enjoyed a wonderful 8-day safari trip through several National parks (Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti). Our guide was very friendly, a perfect driver (which is really important on Tansanian roads) with excellent eyes to spot many animals even from far away!
The office was very helpful even with last-minute change wishes of our trip. Thank you very much for this beautiful holiday trip!

Amazing experience!
We had a 5-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongori and Lake Manyara and it was an amazing experience! It was easy to book via email and Hilary was always quick to answer any questions we had. When we arrived to Arusha a driver picked us up at the airport and helped us to the hotel we stayed at the night before the safari started.
The safari exceeded all of our expectations, with a bit of luck and the expert help from our experienced and knowledgeable guide Rocky we got to see the Big Five and a lot of other wildlife! Rocky also arranged a great local walking tour near one of the campsites with a local guide so we got to see and learn more about the village. Our chef Salim cooked great meals that kept us happy and full every day of our trip!
We are very happy with the whole experience and would absolutely recommend Suricata if you want to visit Tanzania!
Olengugih safaris are the best!I will definitely stick with them for another safari!
Time is key!I was never disappointed by Olengugih!They were punctual, well organized and affordable!Cheerz!

We had a very warm welcome and great, skilled guide Laurence. He was knowledgeable and really flexible with all our requests. For accommodation we choose mix of hotels, lodges and tented camp and all of it was amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Team Raha - our family forever
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures was a great experience for us, all 8 days with the whole team. From the very beginning, even before we came to Tanzania, we were nicely surprised by the way the owner of the company responded to our questions (always very fast and in a very detailed way) and also to our requests (no problem with vegetarian food or adding an extra day to rest on Saturday). Our guides, Rama and Amani, were amazing, the most supportive people I've ever met. Also very knowledgable, respectful, with great sense of humour and sharing with us beautiful music on the way. It's only thanks to these two guys and their calming and motivating presence that we made it to the top.
The cook Abuu was a real magician and artist - how was it possible for him to prepare such delicious, various dishes and arrange them in such an artistic way in such conditions goes beyond my imagination. All the porters were also super friendly and supportive, always smiling, always positive and happy, especially Papa Mogeredja, Othumani and Eddy. Thanks to them every morning and every coming to the next camp were like coming home. Thank you for sending us to Kilimanjaro with such a great family

Amazing 2-day Safari
Had an amazing 2 day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro and 1 day Materuni cultural tour in Moshi. Innocent was very helpful he organized our entire trip from the the start to the last minute. He arranged airport pick up and drop off that was extremely helpful. We really enjoyed our Materuni tour that Innocent recommended us to do. The 2 day safari we did was amazing and was well worth it. We’re excited to one day return to Tanzania!

Outstanding combination of professionality and personality that made or tour an amazing experience
We enjoyed an incredibly great time with our hosts Loth, Collin and Pius. Friends have recommended us the provider and we had in advance super good and binding contact with Catherine via mail from Germany - what followed after arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport was simply a dream. Loth as a driver knows incredibly well in the national parks and has a wealth of knowledge about each animal. The typical tanzanian food was great, the evenings with the team at campsites perfectly social. We are so happy to have chosen such a personal safari company. Thank you for everything!

Incredible safari experience in Tanzania!
My group of friends and I recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure in Tanzania, and it's safe to say that our journey would not have been the same without the exceptional guidance of Raymond. From start to finish, Raymond not only exceeded our expectations but also left an indelible mark on our hearts.
First and foremost, Raymond's knowledge of the animals and the local ecosystem was simply astounding. He seemed to possess an innate ability to spot wildlife that we would have otherwise missed, even when camouflaged in the dense underbrush of the Serengeti. His explanations about animal behavior, migration patterns, and ecological significance added a profound depth to our safari experience. It was like having a living, breathing encyclopedia of African wildlife right by our side.
But Raymond's expertise extended far beyond the realm of wildlife. He had a deep understanding of the local culture, which he eagerly shared with us. Whether it was introducing us to the Maasai people, explaining their customs and traditions, or telling us captivating stories about the history of the region, Raymond's cultural insights enriched our journey and provided a meaningful context for the landscapes and wildlife we encountered.
What truly set Raymond apart, however, was his exceptional personality and genuine kindness. He didn't just guide us through Tanzania; he became a friend. His warm smile, boundless enthusiasm, and unwavering patience made us feel like we were exploring this magnificent land with a trusted companion. Raymond's positive energy was infectious, and he brought a sense of joy and camaraderie to our group that made our safari all the more enjoyable.
Raymond went above and beyond to ensure that our safari was safe, comfortable, and unforgettable. He meticulously planned our daily itineraries, making sure we witnessed the most breathtaking moments of the animal kingdom in action.
I cannot express enough how lucky we were to have Raymond as our safari guide. He possesses a rare combination of expertise, passion, and charisma that makes him an outstanding ambassador for Tanzania's natural wonders and cultural treasures. Raymond, you are not just an extraordinary guide; you are a cherished friend and a testament to the incredible people we meet during our travels. Thank you for making our Tanzanian safari an adventure of a lifetime, and we can't wait to return for more adventures with you in the future. Asante sana, Raymond!
