Very responsible and efficient guys
During 3 days we have visited 3 conservation areas – Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Areas and Manyara Lake National Park. The whole safari has been very well organized, smooth, interesting and all experience exceeded our best expectations. Before the trip to Tanzania I have maintained contacts with Rioba Safari through manager Jonas, who was very attentive and kept us informed on every step of the process. Regardless that it was a late evening of Saturday, I have received a response from Rioba manager Jonas 15 min. after I have submitted a request for quotations to safaribooking.com! Jonas even contacted Tanzania’s Immigration Department (this was clearly outside his safari duties) when we had some delays obtaining of electronic Tanzania’s visa. Jonas welcomed us at Arusha airport. Our accommodation in Karatu was also green and perfect with possibility to submerge in refreshing pool after intensive day of safari and very good food. Our guide and driver Hakim was very good in time planning and efficiency. He also was very knowledgeable not only about species, but also was able to answer many of our questions on local customs, political situation and many other subjects beyond animals and birds. Hakim was also aware about protection system, e.g. what the difference between national park and conservation area. Overall – he was not only driver, but very interesting companion for conversation. The last but not the least – Rioba Safari proposed us very good price for 3 days of safari. Whoever I told later the price of our package, all were praising it as a very good deal. So, I highly recommend Rioba Safari and I am sure they will not disappoint you.

A wonderful combination of professionalism and nature
My tour guide, Thomas Kombo, gave me a wonderful 5-day experience in the wild. Thomas was very good at spotting wildlife and was able to get me up close to lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and many more. He tailored his services to my needs and took me on safari whenever I wanted. He was always available! Thomas took me on a tour of a local tribal village. The camp I stayed at really provided great service. I have to say Sanzori Adventures in particular, everything about them was excellent. The service was amazing. I loved the nature and environment of Kenya, the sanctuary, everything. I was very satisfied. I might come back with my girlfriend, I know she will love it!

A safari trip amidst the African wildlife is truly an unforgettable and heart-warming experience
Safaris in Africa are truly an unforgettable experience, and this trip was a well-planned mid-range safari, organized by Abner Safaris. Our 5-day safari itinerary included Nairobi, Amboseli National Park, and Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the best safari destinations in Kenya.
We traveled during the green season, when tour prices are usually lower, tourist crowds are less, and nature is green and fresh, the weather is usually warm, and wildlife is easy to spot.
In Amboseli National Park, we saw breathtaking views of Kilimanjaro. On the other hand, in Masai Mara, we got the opportunity to see numerous wildlife including lions, cheetahs, and giraffes up close. Our accommodation was in a mid-range tented camp, which had comfortable beds and a clean environment, the opportunity to be very close to nature, good food, and friendly service.

An unforgettable, well-planned and well-conducted all-around experience on the savanna
The entire experience was wonderful! We only needed to provide the dates and our desired start and end points for our 4-day safari, and then Rachel at Ndutu Green Explorers took care of everything to our absolute satisfaction. Incredibly smooth and easy, with quick responses via WhatsApp and a perfect understanding of what we wanted, even though we didn’t exactly know what we were looking for ourselves. The fact that we got Omar as our driver and guide was a real stroke of luck! So knowledgeable, and with over 10 years of experience as a guide, he showed and told us everything about animals, nature, geology, geography, culture, food, history and society in a heartfelt way – all our questions were answered in depth. We’ve learned so much about the country! Accommodation and food exceeded all expectations, and we always felt safe with Omar behind the wheel. He’s simply the best! Since everything around the safari booking went so smoothly, we also asked Rachel about our continued trip to Zanzibar, and she arranged all the travel details including flights, transfers, hotels, and excursions so that everything worked out perfectly. We are so satisfied and can truly recommend Ndutu Green Explorers to anyone who wants to experience Tanzania.

She is attractive to our needs and happiness.
I was in a group of people over 60 years old but everyone enjoyed a fast paced journey, safely. Knowledge of the country's history and presence day was very impressive. And we all felt safe at all times. Also experiencing wild life in their natural habitats and then in a close up zoo type eye opening experience was great. The hotel we stayed at was clean and had delicious food.
I hope to be blessed to enjoy more of what else is there to see.

Unforgettable experience in Kenya
My first safari experience was truly impressive. It started with receiving comprehensive information that made it very easy to decide on the best locations for our game drives, with great options provided for both parks and accommodations.
Our guide, Nicro, was exceptional. He has a wealth of experience in driving and tracking wildlife. Furthermore, he provided us with in-depth and complete information about every animal species we encountered.
If you enjoy fermented drinks, don't forget to ask your guide for Muratina—you’re going to love it!

Amazing 8 day adventure in Uganda
Just finished an amazing adventure with Wagatil Safaris and would highly recommend. I did a private solo trip with them for 8 days in Uganda and everything went so well. The experience with them was great from start to end. Smooth and nice communication with Pretty and Martin, who were helping me personalize my itinerary and planning, they were so nice and quick to answer any questions and very flexible to make any changes I requested and help to make the perfect trip for me. Everything was arranged and sorted so all I had to do was enjoy and take in all the incredible experiences, which made me feel very comfortable and in good safe hands.
Can't praise my guide Eddie enough - he was so friendly, fun and knowledgeable and we were so lucky to see absolutely everything on the trip - from a leopard with her two cubs, tree climbing lion right next to us, gorillas with babies climbing around us - everything I ever dreamed of was ticked off the list!
I did an 8 day trip which meant we were on the road most days and experiencing something new everyday, which was perfect for me as I was traveling alone and it felt like something was always happening and new things were waiting for us at every stop, but Uganda has so much to offer and experience so you won't be bored by adding even more days and activities.
Thank you to Wagatil, Pretty, Martin and especially Eddie for making this trip an amazing and unforgettable adventure!
