Magical
A trip to Africa is only as good as the safari company and the guide. Sunworld Safaris delivers on all counts. They listen to what you need, and then create a package that meets those needs. I've used them 3 times and will use them over and over again. Lodgings, food, details - they know it all and make sure you have the best experience. I've heard all their guides are fantastic, but ours is by far the best. Spookily knowledgeable, furiously funny, caring and kind and puts up with older women - I don't even want to tell you his name so he'll be available when I come back. Mwashi - you are special and you make the trip magical each and every time. Thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart - which misses Africa and ellies something fierce.

Friendly, fantastic attention to detail and made an unforgettable experience for our group.
We had an unforgettable experience on our Safari with Extra Miles Unique Adventures. From the initial contact the team were incredibly accommodating and friendly making sure our trip met our wishes and all details were thought of. They really surpassed what we could have imagined, with fantastic accommodation and experiences. Our driver James was so friendly and kind, and had vast knowledge to share throughout the parks we visited.
I would have no hesitation recommending Extra Miles Unique Adventures to anyone and could guarantee a fantastic trip with this company.

Well managed tour
3 Days - Windhoek- Sossusvlei - Windhoek Camping Guided Safari
It was well managed 3days tour for Dune 45, Big daddy, Deadvlei Sossusvlei, and Sandwich harbour.
Guide:
Fanuel had enough skills and experiences for this tour. He knows well about persons around the camp site of the park and it’s restaurant and thus he is reliable. He is friendly to everyone and willing to help with other travelers as well. I respect his attitude.
Drive:
Total driving distance of this tour was over 1,000km. And around 40% of them are gravel roads. You need to be prepared for them. But Fanuel’s drive was good because he drove safely and not too much speed. I was very comfortable with it.
Scenic points:
Sun set at Dune 45, Sunrise at Big daddy and view of sandwich harbor were magnificent. These are like another planet. Fanuel knew well about the timing of each points to go and thus I could smoothly see them without troubles. For example, if you see sunrise at Big daddy or Dune 45, you need to be in front of the gate at the time of gate open. To do this, you have to stay lodges or camp site inside the park. You also need 4x4 car. Fanuel well prepared for them on behalf of me, which was very convenient for me.
Camp site:
Although the tour was just me and the guide of Fanuel, he prepared tents for each other separately and I could stay there comfortably. I expected the night time was freezing cold but it was okay for me. I could sleep well without problems. We had dinner at the restaurant/bar of the camp site and the food was actually very good.
Overall:
I will definitely recommend this tour for the person who wants to view scenic points smoothly without stress.
Preparing for the tour
It’s better to bring followings with you.
•Small torch : to use inside the tent
•Camera which can take photos of stars: Stars at camp site is very beautiful. But smartphones cannot take photos of them.
•Small spoon: the breakfast prepared by the restaurant includes a cup of yogurt but not a spoon…
If you can fry in or out from Walvis bay airport instead of Windhoek, choose these flights since there are a few things to do in Windhoek.

Great organization and amazing tour!
We chose the 3 days selous game in order to experience different aspects of the safari and it was great! Our guide was super kind and helped us for everything! The organization was efficient from the booking to the end of the adventure. The schedule time is perfect since you have enough time to do the experiences and also to relax in the lodge!

Easy Travel tailored the trip to our preferences, offering a highly personalized experience.
Safari with Easy Travel and Herry was an exceptional experience that exceeded all expectations. Throughout our journey, we had the opportunity to visit three remarkable parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, each offering a unique and captivating wildlife encounter.
For the Safari:
1. This safari trip was truly unbelievable as we witnessed a plethora of animals in their natural habitats. From lions hunting their prey to the fascinating sight of hippos munching on their meals, the sheer diversity and abundance of wildlife left us in awe.
2. Our knowledgeable guide, Herry, proved to be an invaluable asset throughout the journey. With a keen eye for detail, he skillfully pointed out animals that would have otherwise gone unnoticed without the aid of binoculars. His expertise and passion for the wildlife truly enhanced our safari experience.
3. One unforgettable incident during our safari was when we encountered another jeep that had become stranded in a treacherous terrain. However we were able to rescue them.
4. The atmosphere at the Tortilis camps was enchanting, and we were delighted by the vibrant singing and dancing performances. To our surprise and delight, they even serenaded my partner with a heartfelt happy birthday song, creating a truly special and memorable moment.
5. Our safari experience extended beyond mere animal sightings. Our guide provided us with insightful information about the history of the parks, enlightening us about the changes they have undergone over the past decade. It was fascinating to gain a deeper understanding of the conservation efforts and preservation initiatives in place.
6. Exploring the wildlife went beyond the iconic "big five." We had the opportunity to learn about the rich variety of trees and plants unique to each park, and how the soil composition impacts the colors of warthogs, distinguishing them as black, red, or gray. This ecological perspective added a fascinating dimension to our safari adventure.
Experiences beyond the safari:
1. Our journey extended beyond the boundaries of the parks as we visited a local village. There, we were warmly welcomed with a homemade meal, and our guide's attentiveness ensured that avocados, our favorite, were included. The genuine hospitality and cultural immersion made this experience truly memorable.
2. We delved into the agricultural history of Tanzania, learning about the rise of GMO crops and the implications it has had on the region. This educational aspect added depth to our understanding of the country's development and its impact on both the environment and local communities.
3. Our exploration of Tanzania's rich heritage included discovering the diverse tribes and their unique histories and typical occupations. Learning about the traditions, customs, and ways of life of these communities provided a rich cultural experience.
4. In gaining a comprehensive understanding of the region, we also learned about the ongoing conflict between the Masai people and the government regarding land rights within the parks. This insight shed light on the complex challenges faced by local communities and the delicate balance between conservation and indigenous rights.
Overall, our safari trip with Easy Travels and Herry was an extraordinary adventure that surpassed all expectations. From the breathtaking wildlife encounters to the enlightening experiences beyond the safari, it was a journey filled with awe-inspiring moments, cultural immersion, and invaluable knowledge. We highly recommend this exceptional safari experience to anyone seeking an unforgettable and enriching exploration of Tanzania's natural wonders and cultural heritage.

Booking with Tanzania Voyages was the best decision everM
We are two senior sisters ages 60 and 71. I had been to Kenya 35 years ago and this was my sister’s first trip to africa. We first learned of Tanzania Voyages and Raymond Sangawe ( our guide) when working with another tour agency. They use Raymond for all of their Tanzanian safaris. Raymond guides for many of the high end companies and is also starting his own business that caters to those who want to hire a private guide and vehicle. We decided to go directly with Raymond and it was the best decision ever! We cannot begin to express how much Raymond took care of us. He is extremely professional, an outstanding guide, and a lot of fun! When my sister got ill on the trip, he was so kind and patient. Due to his suggestions we didn’t miss out on ngorongoro crater, and she was able to meet with a dr. Right away. We didn’t miss a thing! We saw so much more than we could have ever dreamed of…three rhino sittings, the big five, a jaguar eating a kil in a tree, elephants trumpeting next to the Land Cruiser, lions galore…so any we lost count! A serval cat hunt, kill and eat a snake, and so much more. He even had is in the middle of the great migration…which we didn’t expect! Every time we thought things couldn’t get any better, they did. There were no daily restrictions on how far you could drive ( which is common with the bigger tour companies) so we were out most of the day each day. The trip went very smoothly and any minor hiccups we easily handled by Raymond. We were so glad to have booked with Tanzania Voyages. All the money stays in the local community, and Raymond also contributes part of each trip to support a local orphanage and charity that supports girls. Raymond offers a variety of tours at several price points. We saved money and got a more deluxe trip going direct with Tanzania Voyages. I cannot recommend Raymond .Sangawe and Tanzania Voyages highly enough.

Safari again and again with DREAMS ADVENTURES
Our safari with DREAMS ADVENTURES was a dream come true. Big Five - savanna - crater - the 3 large national parks Tarangire - Ngorongoro and Serengeti impressed us very much. We also experienced Lake Manyara and visited a Maasai village.
Johnson the Safari Entrepreneur was a calm, level headed and experienced guide. We came as strangers and left as friends.
For our next safari we would like to experience the indigenous peoples of the Datoga and Hadzabe with him, as well as the animal world again.
We highly recommend the company - you can have your safari tailored to your needs. An individuality that is worth a lot.

Great safari north Tanzania
We did a great 4-day safari with our truly French-speaking guide Calvin.
He made us discover the parks of Arusha, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
We strongly recommend him, Calvin is patient and caring and his driving is pleasant.

He is a very friendly guy
A good man, trying to make the best of your stay. I can recommend him as a guide. It‘s just an exceptional experience to go on a safari, no matter what. You will hear the lions and hyenas roar in the night and have a incredible experience. The only thing i have to criticize is the maori experience and you have to be aware of the long bumpy roads on your way. Sometimes 6 to 7 hours on unpaved roads can be exhausting. But it‘s a journey you will never forget. If you‘re conscious abuat that, do it! We saw all the animals and it was magical. Ado it, it‘s woth it.
