Wonderful safari experience in Tanzania!
Together with a group of friends we had an amazing safari experience organised by J&R Safari Adventures. We have visited Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Both days were fantastic, we have seen multiple animals, including 4 out of the African Big 5: lions, elephants, rhino and buffalos. Besides, there were many other species: zebras, antelopes, giraffe, hippos, wildebeest and many more.
We experienced an incredible moment, when a giant elephant, followed by a female and a young one went out of the forest just in front of our safari car - just a few meters from us!
J&R Safari organisation was a top notch! Very flexible in their approach regarding details of a trip, which went exactly as agreed!
Thank you for organising such an amazing time for us, just a few days ago!

Authentic East African Tour Company!
Mr. Exaud and his team at Utopia met all our expectations and then some!
We were a group of 8 adults from Germany and Utopia somehow managed to meet all our individual and group requirements whilst curating our Northern Tanzania Safari packages (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara & Serengeti).
Speaking as a born and raised Tanzanian myself, I appreciated the warm Tanzanian hospitality, attention to detail, overall value for money and experienced tour guides! The communication before, during and even after the end of our safari was top notch and I can earnestly say we all had the time of our lives!
I do not see myself booking my next Safari with anyone else. Thank you so much Utopia!

Amazing holiday
We booked our tour with superb Tanzania safaris, Fred responded immediately after we booked we had a lot that we wanted for our trip but Fred made sure we had it all. Our guide Stephan was a smiling person on the entire trip from the beginning to the end. The camps and hotels were okay however we had a little problem getting different food for vegetarians but Fred tried to make sure we had the best.

Professional and top quality with a fantastic human touch
The staff has picked me up at the hotel with their 4WD at the scheduled time in Nairobi and this was the first surprise with three lovely young, smiley and expert guides! We have moved then to Mt.Longonot for a beautiful hike, all together. This was fantastic, the trail, the landscape with the forest inside the crater and we had fun on the way. You will meet some other hikers from Kenya, Europe and all over the world, never too many, but making you feel you are doing something great. Back to the road we headed to a resort on lake Naivasha where we had lunch the four of us together; the food was super and the place probably the number one in the area; MorningStar could not choose a better place.
The boat tour made us restarting a new experience, encountering hippos, any kind of colored birds and the queen of them, the eagle, offering us a unique spectacle by catching a fish after an elegant sky dive just in front of us. Then a walk among zebras, antelopes, giraffes and many others with an expert local guide explaining the nature secrets. Couple of things I have loved and which will make this experience for life; the quality of Service from MorningStar which is really a value, and the passion and highly friendly dedication of the guides. They should be all good, but Alice, Joy and Alex you will never forget them ! professional, friendly, knowledgeable and like you knew them since a long time already :) my thanks to MorningStar

A fantastic adventure
12-day private safari with an extended stay in Zanzibar. Very good organization of the whole. The basis of such a trip is a good driver/guide. We probably got the best of the best. Kenyan - Peter, Family Man and Tanzanian - Wazeri, Mr. Minister. Both fit in the image of the 5-star Hakuna Matata Brothers and have extensive knowledge of African fauna and flora, excellent orientation in parks and reserves, and extraordinary skills to safely transport you even to places that are not on the map. Accommodation is a separate story. All charming, each in a different way. Starting from a city hotel, through a colonial estate, bungalows, tents, to a charming corner of paradise. Courteous and caring service everywhere. Zachary at Jacaranda Lake Elementaita Lodge is also especially memorable. A few-hour walk with him, stories about the history of the area, animals (especially birds) was an additional attraction.

Amazing!!
We went to diani beach and searched for a good safari company to book our first safari experience. We met dicky around diani beach and talked with him about the different safaris, he explained us everything perfectly. We decided to book a 3 days privat safari with him to tsavo east and amboseli. Two days later we started our trip and he and his driver picked us up at our hotel. We drove to tsavo east, it was an amazing experience, we decided spontaneously that we wanna go to tsavo west as well and it was no problem to change the plan. We went to all of these three Nationalparks and it was breathtaking. We saw so many animals, it was like a dream. Dicky was really professional, helpful and funny. The resorts Dicky booked for us were amazing, the rooms and the food there were great. In one of the resorts we saw free zebras right next to our restaurant. Dicky did his best to make us feel safe, see alot of animals and have the best time. The car/van was really comfy and we had alot of space to relax in the van. I lost one of my shoes in a resort and i realized it one day later, i told dicky and he did everything to get my shoe back and sent it to the place i stayed one week later. He really know what a good customer service looks like and you will not regret it to book with him. We would book with him always again. We wish you all the best Dicky and see you again when we come back to visit masaii mara.

Trip to Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West Review
We had a four day trip covering Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. It was all marvelously done
Very thankful to Jeremy who was in touch with me always before and after the trip, he answered all the questions and concerns I had.
And many thanks to our guide Alex,though we travelled a lot, always joyful, told us a lot of interesting stories about the parks we were visiting. He’s also a big fan of the nature and animals and we could see that: he knew all the best spots and time to see thus or that animal.
Unforgettable experience thanks to unscripted safaris .

Great hospitality and patients
One of my client of whom had 84 years old and no power and balance at all, but only had the proud and self wishes strongly.
Around 22:00, upon arriving in Horonbo hut, before 2 kilometers to Horonbo hut, he had collapsed by himself. The guides and the porters tried to let him on the hand carrying car though. But he denied to be carried on with his violentaly act to their.
Finally he had been carried on it with nothing apologized. Next morning, I apologized to them in stead of him.
These guides said that " everybody going to be old ages. That's normal situation for us too ".
He could step on the saddle 4000m and he could be enjoyed the view of Killimanjaro with great hospitality and patients of the guides and porters.
Sincerely thanks a lot.
