Near Perfect Kilimanjaro Trek
I emailed Edward the director KWESA for Kilimanjaro climbing quotes. He responded immediately with very detailed and reasonably priced quotes. I checked the reviews and contacted several climbers getting rave recommendations for Edward and his company. I went ahead and booked Machame route where I was with 2 other solo climbers and from our experience the reviews do not do justice to his excellence. We had a near perfect trek with all aspects of our trek catered for excellently. KWESA made trekking up the imposing mountain seem easy because they were there for us all the way from start to the summit. I have great respect for the guides, porters and cook who accompanied us on this lifetime journey. I highly recommend KWESA to all that plan to do Kilimanjaro with professionals.

Tanzania Explorer is professional in a friendly way in both planning and implementation.
In january 2020 my husband and I went by car from Dar-Mikumi-Udzungwa/ Sanje waterfalls-Iringa/ Isimila Stone Age Site – Ruaha, then by plane to Zanzibar – Michamvi beach – Stonetown, and then by ferry back to Dar. When planning the trip we got good recommendations from Tanzania Explorer both by email and personal contact. The website has also a lot of relevant information. We were recommended to go by Tanzania Explorer by familymembers. The trip turned out to be composed in an exciting way, full of new experiences and nice places to stay around the next corner. From arriving at the airport till we left 17 days later we were taken very well care of by the friendly and professional staff of Tanzania Explorer. We felt really safe and relaxed, and the company has a well-developed system for reporting where we are at all times in case anything would happen.
Our purpose of visiting three national parks was that we wanted to experience the African animals in the wilderness and in their natural habitats, and we really did. We were enthusiastic by travelling with the head safariguide Sam, who all the way delivered more than expected. He is a safe driver, hard-working, professional, with exceptional eyes for spotting animals. He shared with us a lot of knowledge about the life of the animals. Sam is really good communicating with people and has a fantastic sense of humor. Travelling along the roads between the park gave us a lot of questions of how people are living in the rural areas. Sam answered patiently and we had good talks about everything from sugarplantations, bananas, social conditions, fueltransportation to lions behavior, geology and trees at the savanna. Thanks for opening our minds!
The waking safaris with fun and clever guides in Udzungwa and Roaha were very interesting. The guides had great skills in biology. Also the archeological trip in Ismila was very interesting – and looking at the Tanzanian answer to Kvitskriuprestein.
At Zanzibar Banja took care of us, and we had relaxing days at Michamvi beach before we spent the last two days in Stonetown. We went by boat to Prison Island, and walked in Stonetown where the Slavemarket really touched us. Hotel Emerson was fantastic with its roofterrace with the beautiful sunset. Zanzibar is an island with big contrasts.
The safaripart of the trip was our favorite and it’s like when you’ve been there you want to go back on safari again, because you know that there is much more to see. We would like to go by Tanzania Explorer again.

Professional, kind and knowledgeable about the animals. Super
Thank you very much for the outstanding service and safari experience. A wonderful time was had and has prompted me to place another trip to Kenya and experience another Safari. The professional service which Eric provided was super. His ability to navigate the roadways and provide opportunity to see the wild animals. And with a pleasant smile on his face. A true professional and a fine man. Will be returning for another safari adventure!

A trip of a life time with personnel who tried to meet our every need
Our guides were excellent and responsive to our requests. They took great care of us and answered all our questions and pointed out sites along the way. They were so thoughtful and great ambassadors for their country. The safaris were fantastic and I will forever have fond memories of Moses, Godfrey and John. Accommodations were wonderful as was the food.

Worst Management, broken cars!!!
We booked the 4 Day Lodge Safari (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater).
Our dream became a nightmare!
The Management is the worst I have ever had. On our first day we arrived at the office and the Manager Kassim already yelled at me because I didn’t pay cash and asked to pay by credit card. Then the tour started with an old car (dirty seats, no air condition, broken seatbelts and only 2 windows which could be opened). On our first day the driver had to fix the car twice. On our only day in the Serengeti the car broke down completely. The driver tried to manage everything. We’ve been standing around 4 hours in the middle of the Serengeti. Then the driver arranged a ride to the visitor center for us. There we’ve been waiting another 5 hours. The whole time we didn’t hear anything from Kassim. After calling him and asking what is going to happen because it’s been already 5pm and it normally took us around 2h to get to our accommodation. He apologized for the delay. I told him that this is not a delay! Because of the bad road conditions it took us 4h instead of 2h. So we had to drive 2h in the dark. This was not responsible. Animals had been on the road and we jumped and hurt ourselves because it was not possible to see the humps ahead. So the trip turned into a nightmare.
But it’s not the fault of the driver. They do their best and they have all the work. It’s simple the responsibility of the management to organize a good and safe! trip. But as the others already said he doesn’t care about anything (Customer, car, driver) once he got his money.
If you wanna have a once in a lifetime experience don’t go with this company!!!

Reny made a trip just for us.
They provided much more than just a safari. The team of Regina, Francis, and David were all wonderful. Our group enjoyed pre safari time on the coast south of Mombasa. The resort and amenities were very relaxing. Relaxing done, it was time to meet our driver David who would drive and guide for us as we visited five of the major parks. David's knowledge of the wildlife was extensive and thorough. Just as importantly he provided us many hours of knowledge about the country and the people. The accommodations and the food were very good. The lodging near the parks were very important for early morning trips and on site viewing of wildlife. Planning well in advance and understanding your own desires of what to see and experience are very important to know while you are planning your trip. Reny Safaris did an excellent job of helping us to see and experience what we desired.

Most informative, flexible and fun-packed safari tour - top marks to Jose and Kaara Adventures!
We planned a trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Bunyonyi, in a package of 6 days tour. We chose exactly how long we spent in each place and were ensured of the lowest price around and can say Kaara Adventures will beat any quote you receive! Our driver Samuel was with us during the whole trip time, and was always enthusiastic, friendly and making sure we were having fun, the kind of trip we expected. He made many recommendations over complete stay and our trip ended up being quite different in terms of activities than we planned as before, due to the fact that we found better alternatives and Jose was always able to arrange these last minute changes of plan. I really couldn't recommend highly enough!!

Review about Skeleton Coast National Park by Pravitha Naidoo
Read about it so was excited to see it in reality. Interesting experience of a beautiful coastline displaying a shipwreck.
