James and his crew will go out of their way to create an unforgetable experience!
I can not say enough about how helpful and friendly all the people from Archtrek Safaris were. Noting was to much to ask and they always responded with a smile. It was my sister in law's 50th birthday and they went out of their way to make this a most memorable trip for her. They baked not one, but two beautiful cakes for the festivities. James personally delivered the one cake to the top of Point Lenana - thanks again James!
Two of us spend an extra two days on the mountain - most of the time in sub-zero temperatures with snow and rain coming down. Our cook, guide and porter just went on with the task of making us warm food outside in pouring rain - what can I say more - Thanks guys!
Organizing and logistics were perfect with every pick-up or appointment on time. If ever you go to Kenya - just contact Archtrek Safaris - you won't be dissapointed.

Informative exciting fun and love to do again
I loved the variety of our tour staying in luxury accommodation right through to camping out on the Delta. Our guide Ruan really knew the country he was showing us and went out of his way to make the most of what turned up unexpectedly such as animal sightings along the roadside and meeting local people. I never felt afraid during the tour.

Incredible
I run charity programming in Zimbabwe, and hosted a tour locally with 12 individuals from around the world. Included in the tour was a Safari Source tour for 6 of the participants following their time in Harare with me and the charity. Every step of the way working with Monika and Rosemary from the Safari Source was a breeze! From developing the itinerary from Harare to Vic Falls and everything inbetween, to clear communication, payment, timely emails, and ensuring everyone was supported, everything was more than I could have hoped for and very professional. In fact, even after development of the safari I used them to help with aspects of my trip including a local bus hire. I would not hesitate to recommend The Safari Source, and I can't wait to use their services again.

Nice people and a wonderful nature
We were on a 7-days private safari tour in Tanzania and visited southern parks. No mass tourism on the south. These parks are very nice, just the distance between them is so long that I would recommend adding two days more to fully enjoy parks. Not a lot of tourists gives you additional moments to be more connected with nature. Driving from one park to another, we saw a lot of towns, villages, and forests. Weather was nice, little windy, low humidity. In the evening, long sleeves and long trousers are nice and protect against mosquitos. Additional protection against mosquitos were handkerchiefs with 30% DEET, and this combination was good protection. Don't drink tap water, but you have enough bottled water everywhere. Use this water also for washing teeth and you will be on sure side against hepatitis A, typhoid and similar diseases. Mid-range lodges were nice, with mosquito nets. Service in those lodges was very good, just in Ruaha Hilltop Lodge drivers were not allowed to have dinner with us, what was for me unrealistic. After requesting an additional seat at the table for the driver, we could have the meal together. Our driver Ibra was very professional. He has a lot of experience to find animals in secret places. Taking an evening boat trip on Rufiji River was fantastic. The morning walking safari accompanied by the armed ranger in Selous was unforgettable. In general, Selous, Ruaha, and Mikumi have nice scenery, nice wildlife, and are very impressive. Shortly, the organization of the trip with Wildness Safari Tanzania was good. Just ask for a good, comfortable car.

It was our first safari, it was very good, we spent 5 stupendous days.
Tanzania is a typical African country, which bets on nature tourism, and from what I could observe, well, because everything I expected, came true.
It is a beautiful country, with a huge wildlife at hand, where you feel how precious it is to maintain, beautiful.

Experience of a lifetime.
Absolutely stunning seeing the wildlife roaming free in its natural habitat. We visited in Kenya's winter months so the weather was ideal for us - not too hot.
Our accommodation was fine, tented but with "en suite" shower and bathroom. The food was remarkably good in the circumstances even the morning when the electricity generator failed.
The star of the show was our guide, Peter, who was knowledgeable, funny and very considerate throughout our time with him.

IMPECABLE SERVICES, INSPITE OF THE WARNINGS!
I found the warning after paying my entire safari and got quite nervous, but I am glad to write that our safari was perfectly organized and delivered.
The predeparture communication was clear and quick; we were given all mobiles associated with whatsapp and I received answers to my many questions.
Nondi, our driver, met us at the airport in Dar at 1am and helped us to buy sim cards and change money.
We met again at 5.30 and drove to the Selous wilderness camp,4 hours, safely and carefully.
The Camp is great, across the Rufiji, 20 minutes away from the Selous gate in a superb location on the river.
Our tent was big with 3 beds and an open air shower.
The staff is lovely and made us feel at home; Freddi, Sifuni, Ludovick and Kenneth were the highlight of our stay.
Food was simply excellent, and we Italians are not easy to please;-)
The jeep sits six, but once we were by ourselves. We stayed 5 nights and did 3 full day game drives. Most people stay 2 nights, but after coming all the way from Roma we wanted to explore the park and enjoy its remoteness.
The Company organized also our flights to Pemba.
I am sorry for those who had a bad experience and I am quite puzzled about it, since in our case all the services were extremely professional. We thank Africa Remote Safaris for a once in a lifetime experience!

Good experience
I joined the tour alone. First day, they didn’t come waiting place until meeting time. I waited in the lobby more than 1 hour and half.
However totally it was good. Staffs are friendly and the cost is not bad.
