Safari Nyerere well organized (via online) with Uwanta Tours and Safaris.
We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar for 2 days: transport, safaris, hotel, meal.. On the 1st day we had a safari from 8am to 5pm and saw many animals : hippos, impalas, elephants, hyenas, baboons, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wild dogs... and one lion. The fist day, we were lucky to have a guide Raphael who spoke French. Fascinating and very professional he shared with us his great knowledge of the fauna and flora. The 2nd day, safari on the river, much less rich in discoveries.

"Delivered a well -planned itinerary but should come out clear on resident park fee"
I joined group of six people from Homa bay to Masai Mara, for 3 days 2 nights,so we were 7 people in total, 6 of us were foreigner from USA, and I was the only Kenya citizen, I was charged non resident rate for the first time,then later on when I complained and call Frederick from Nairobi office,I he called our guide and told him to refund me some money back,I think they should have given me resident rate from the begining.
Our guide for the tour,Kasain sensei, was absolutely perfect.
Through out the trip,he was punctual, showed dedication,and adjusted the itinerary flexible to ensure it wasn't too tiring for us.His driving was both quick and reliable, marking us feel safe the entire time.
During the game drives,he got us as close as possible to the animals and plants,allowing us to capture amazing photos. Ours Land cruiser was among the first to enter and last to leave Masai Mara National Reserve.
Despite it's not being peak season,he went above and beyond to help us see as many animals as possible.Notably, our Vehicles was the first to spot a leopard, one of rarest of the Big 5.Kasaine also has a keen photography.If you're lucky enough to have him as your guide you're sure to get some incredible shots! Being a Maasai himself, he has extensive knowledge of the region and wildlife.At each location,he seemed well connected and we had the unique experience of being guided by the chief's son in Maasai village.
Fredrick,who coordinate our booking,was prompt and friendly, ensuring that everything we requested and promised was delivered smoothly, from the initial arrangements through to the end of the tour.
I was initially nervous, especially since this trip was with my friends but Kasaine and Frederick made our time truly unforgeable.
My friends expressed their gratitude, saying they hadn't expected such an incredible experience.If you're looking for quality safari at a reasonable price,I highly recommend Fantastic Adventure Safaris.

Great service - very responsive - tailored a great bespoke itinerary to fit our timings and budget
We’d already booked our travel and had two and a bit days that we wanted to fit a Pilanesberg safari tour into. Shaun was very responsive, came up with useful suggestions and put together a great package for us. What we went for wasn’t cheap but felt like good value. We had an amazing time! Only minor criticism was that our driver was a new guy who wasn’t used to airport pickups and was quite late, leaving us hanging around at Jo’burg airport for a while. But I suspect we were just unlucky on that - and he was a good driver with some interesting stories (and fluent in 10 of the 11 official ZA languages!)

Tanzania is amazing as a country but the safari trio I booked from your website is subpart
The safari during the daytime is fine but the food and accommodations vary quite a bit among different venders. So be sure to have your vender specify all accomodation types and locations before you join the tour. Good luck!

Kenya, wildlife around you
Kenya has been the place where I have gone in a safari. Masai Mara was the Reserve we chose (2 friends -girls-). Arriving to Nairobi from Europe is easy if you connect in any of the Middle East hubs, for example, Doha. Distance from the NBO airport to the city centre (our hotel was in CBD) was short, with good roads. Our experience in Nairobi wasn’t as good as we supposed: although we thought CBD was a good area to have a walk, it is true that there were not many white tourists there and we were a little bit annoyed by everyone trying to sell us anything, asking for money and even being touched by everybody. I think the tourists in Nairobi just visit the main tourist attractions (Giraffe Centre, Nairobi National Park, …).
Nevertheless, our impressions changed when we started our safari, with Balu Travel LTD, which I really recommend. The places where we stayed, the landscapes and sunsets we saw, the amount of animals we could see, … everything was incredible. This is what it comes to my mind when I think of Kenya. It’s true people is asking for money at any chance when they see white people, and yo need to say no no no a hundred times, but this places make Kenya such a good experience.
I would recommend Kenya as a solo destination as well, as we talked with many people travelling alone. For 2 girls, it is also a safe place if you go on a safari there.

Adventurous
It’s a beautiful country with amazing sceneries, but they remember a lot of the south of Europe.
Wildlife is unbeatable, just amazing.

A good first safari experience
Efficient and responsive communication throughout. We chose a budget tour to see Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. The tour was a bit rushed towards the end and we didn't have much time to pause to take in the animals, but it was still an enjoyable experience for our first safari. I would recommend upgrading to better accommodations as they were often very basic without fans or air-conditioning and no toiletries, so you have to carry your own. We added on the hot air balloon in the Serengeti and it was an unmissable experience - a true highlight of the trip! We also really loved the cultural tour of Mto Wa Mbo and Maasai tribe at the end of our trip with our guide Baraka. It was a true insight into life in Tanzania.
