Awesome safari
It was a fantastic safari we had courtesy of Nitarudi Afrika Safaris. They made arrangements from end to end and our bit was only to go on holiday and enjoy ourselves! The choice of hotel was great, with friendly staff, really good food and memorable game drives. This is not to forget that Nitarudi helped to negotiate pocket friendly rates. As their name Nitarudi suggests (I’ll come back in Swahili), we will certainly be back to Nitarudi to arrange for another safari.

Great experience
Having decided to go on a safari in Tanzania, we chose Kiliholidays for three reasons : the Farm of Dreams Lodge, the possibility of customization of our tour and the price. We had a 4 days private safari (2persons).
We wanted to do Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara & Tarangire NP with an extra day dedicated to going to a little hike to a waterfall on the Kilimanjaro and some fresh water springs. Do not miss Tarangire, it is the best in the dry season, a lot of wildlife. These 4 days we saw lots of antelopes, wildebeest, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos and lions - in the decrescent order of the frequency seen (I guess :) ).
Mack, the owner, was very responsive as we exchanged more than a dozen emails with Q&A and defining our program. It was more than reasonably priced (compared to other offers on safaribookings.com). We then had to make an online payment of 300usd + 5% transaction fees. All went very smooth. The rest of the sum was payed in cash at arrival (bills newer than 2006).
We can recommend that you take a hotel night before and one after the safari so that you can start early and finish late - about 2h to Tarangire NP (the nearest national park).
The Farm of Dreams Lodge was splendid, tasty dinners, good cocktails, nice swimming pool. Food is included, but drinks are extra.
We had Edward as a driver and we have only good words about him. Attentive, full of knowledge about the wildlife and native people. He also had a wildlife guidebook with him and a pair of binoculars that we could use.
The only not top experience was the safari car. It was a little rundown. Seats comfy, but really old, AC sockets not working, windows very difficult to open/close. Nevertheless it was a safari car (Range Rover) with the open top that Edward drove effortless on every path, crossed rivers, climbed hills, a real 4x4. There was a fridge with water available for the entire length of the trip.
All in all we had a wonderful experience and could not recommend more!

Best trip of my life and I have traveled the world!
From the moment we landed until the moment we left to go back home it was an incredible experience! It took me a few months of hard research to find the very best company and I did find them, Tazama Africa Holidays! Eric was our guide and he was excellent. Top service, best guest service, extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals and parks. I feel like he is now a part of our family having spent a week with him. We saw every single animal we could have imagined plus some special sightings of rare creatures. We felt safe the whole time. We were cared for extremely well by Tazama Africa Holidays and the two camps we stayed at Entim and The Cliff. Both camps were stunning. The whole trip felt like we were living in a movie or on national geographic. I have traveled the world many times but this trip is an ultimate highlight of my life! My boyfriend has never been outside the North American continent and he was mesmerized by this vacation. If you want to go on the best holiday and safari have no doubt about Tazama, they are the only way to go. I have told so many of my friends about them so they can have this unique experience. Thank you so much for taking the very best care of us on your holiday! Make sure to ask for Eric, he was the best guide ever!

They are customer oriented,Budget Friendly, reliable and Efficient
My tour agent Milkah was on top of things from day one up to the last day of the Safari, answering all my questions and assuring me of customized service delivery and value for money .which I would say was 100% satisfactory
On the D-day My tour guide/driver Bethwel was early he jelled well with my whole family now he is one of us. His Patience, experience,knowledge of everything and anything exceeded my expectations.
We had an 18 month old baby and his needs were well catered for. The tour was everything I hoped it would be.
Bornfire staff are very professional and friendly.They are out to ensure the client is happy. Dennis
If you are traveling to Mombasa Voyger is the hotel of choice. Staff are friendly and you do not have to worry about getting late for breakfast especially if you went there to relax. You can catch up with snacks anytime. The 4pm tea and snacks caters for the days you go out shopping and get back after lunch. I enjoyed the peaceful pool next to the ocean. Definitely I want to go back there in January

Mama Savana provides excellent value and service for a safari that you will love!
Mama Savana provided excellent service and value from start to finish. They responded very quickly to questions, regardless of time of day. They helped me plan the perfect itinerary, including an ending on the beach in Zanzibar after safari. The accommodations were as good as promised and in many cases even better due to a surprise upgrade. The food was consistently good to fantastic. Our wonderful guide, Allen, knew where and when to find the animals and got us so close I still cannot get over it. He taught us so much about the animals, local culture, language and music. He was a safe driver, knew the parks, and had a reliable car (hugely important). He helped us get to the best vantage point for taking photos. Everything about The entire experience was so much better than I could have asked for our imagined. Everyone at Mama Savana was professional, solicitous and just plain fun. I recommend unequivocally.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SAFARI IN KENYA AND TANZANIA
WOW! Can’t say enough how wonderful Mama Savana Safaris was to book with! My husband and I found the company on this website and the moment I began communication with Alex, the entire process was awesome. He told us everything we needed to do before hand and helped us along the way when we had inquiries. We had our guide Sammy take us around Kenya and Harun take us around Tanzania! The process of doing a covid19 rapid test across the border was quick and easy too. My favorite moments included seeing a large heard of giraffes at Lake Nakuru, seeing the two remaining northern white rhinos at Ol Pajeta, seeing the large property at Masai Mara, seeing the migration of wildebeest over the Mara River from the northern Serengeti side, seeing leopards hanging out in trees in the central Serengeti and just getting to know our guides in each country. They both were absolutely incredible and I HIGHLY HIGHLY SUGGEST booking with this company. We also had Mustafa drive us our last day and he was incredibly helpful and kind too. It truly was a trip of a lifetime and I will forever be grateful for everything we experienced! We saw all of the big five and then some. Get ready for cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephant herds, different types of giraffes, hyenas…everything! Oh and if you love birds too, this is the trip for you! I’ve posted tons of photos on my Instagram: @lindseyhenry0711
