Amazing!
Highly recommend this safari guide company! Mohamed made us feel so special throughout the few days we’ve known him and we couldn’t have had a better experience.
Mohamed and his team will take care of you from the moment you touch down in Arusha to the time you leave. It’s a full service. From pick up to drop off. We didn’t have to think about anything and everything was taken care of. He even gave us a tour of Arusha city centre, where he helped us haggle down prices of various souvenir items

Best For your Honeymoon
My Fiance and I have always been planning an Safari Excursion in Kenya. We had a few offers but what really intrigued us was a trip to Lewa. It was the best decision ever! The place is so peaceful, vast and beautiful, especially the guided walks. Asante sana Lorna safaris for everything.

Service oriented and very experienced
We used a-one safari to organize a safari to QENP. Communication with the company was excellent ( thank you Salim) and always very prompt. The safari exceeded our expectations thanks to a very good guide with excellent knowledge of the animals and where to go to find them. We had some car trouble with our first vehicle but the company was fast in resolving the problem by sending us a new vehicle.

Jason and the team were super organized and timely!
I worked with Safari Travel Services for several different trips that I personally went on and also organized for others. Jason was always very responsive on WhatsApp as well as phone. He always had his drivers show up on time. The drivers are nice, friendly and safe! Would definitely recommend!.

Best Budget Travel Option
My parents and I were in Arusha looking for a cheap 2-day safari option to Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater. We couldn't afford expensive packages, so a hostel connected us to James from Big Five Voyage. When we heard about the $300 pricetag each for a two day adventure we were excited, yes, but skeptical. Other trips of this sort could be well over double the price but we gave it a try. Are we glad we did! We booked the day before we left and our time with Big Five Voyage surpassed our expectations by a long shot. The communication was great throughout the process, and James even offered to refund our whole trip when a few hours after paying I called saying my dad was sick. What a good guy! He didn't have to offer the full refund but was very understanding. We're glad my dad recovered in time to go, of course. We enjoyed the safari vehicle, old but in good condition (we were expecting a clunky van), the plentiful home-cooked meals (we were expecting dry sandwiches but enjoyed feasts instead), and the good company. We were also expecting to be squished in a vehicle, but had a private one to ourselves on the first day since others cancelled. Bonus! The campsite was basic, but had nice showers with a good view. Plus, the tent even had a cot and a small mattress, when we were expecting a sleeping bag on the ground. There was a short acrobatic show after dinner where one guy balanced another guy on his head, no hands, which impressed us. Dinner conversation was fun because we met travelers from all over. The next day we saw lots and lots and lots of animals, and made good friends with the two others who joined our vehicle. The $300 really included everything, from water, food, and tent (minus the tip, of course). If you're a budget traveler, this travel company is for you.

Our guide Lorry made our experience wonderful!
Snow Africa Adventures took care of us for six days in Tanzania, from Lake Myanara, to the Ngorongoro Crater, to the Serengeti. We stayed in the Serena Lodge near the crater, and in two tent camps in the Serengeti. Every day we were out in the safari truck seeing the sights. Our driver/guide Lorry was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and very competent. Six days turned out to be a long time in the safari truck; we were often in the truck for eight hours at a time. But we saw so many wonderful sights that it was a small price to pay. Animal sightings included wildebeests, zebras, hippos, buffaloes, antelopes, giraffes, elephants, lions, birds of all kinds, jackals, crocodiles, and cheetahs. The tent camps were fun, the food was fine, and the views great. Sometimes hard to sleep with the wildebeests so close and loud, but that was part of the adventure.
We would have liked to have been advised to take a good supply of US dollars. We had to pay $100 in cash per person to get into Tanzania, and at the camps, US cash dollars were needed to by a bottle of wine for dinner and for tips. This was my only complaint: that we didn't get that message ahead of time.

Unforgettable experience
We had a wonderful safari with so many animals close to us, particularly in serengeti and ngorongoro! Our driver frank was really nice and knows a lot about nature and animals, as well as our excellent cooker kiwa. Great agency, very serious and available. We will remember it forever!

Fantastic safari trip
We had a three day safari trip with Safari Njema Adventures in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The trip was amazing, everything was planned perfectly and was so nice. The safari guide was informative, funny and very service minded, it made the days extra enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful in the parks, and we saw all the animals we wanted to see, most of them many times. We spent the nights at extraordinary lodges inside the parks, these were truly amazing and everything was so hassle free and taken care of by Safari Njema Adventures.
This company provides an amazing service, and will deliver a complete experience. You will not regret choosing Safari Njema Adventures for your Safari!

Amazing experience in the Masai Mara with Peter!
We had such an incredible experience! Noah was amazing to work with on the booking, planning, and payment side. He was easy to work with and did his best to accommodate every little ask our group had. We had very particular dietary restrictions and everything was communicated with the hotel as requested. Peter was our guide and was AWESOME! We saw most of the Big 5 before our 2nd day! He worked hard to try and find the most interesting things for us to view on our safari, was incredibly knowledgeable, and super funny! We had great communication everyday so we knew when and where to meet him and what to expect. I highly recommend using Wildebeest Safaris and request Peter!!!

Exceptional planning and execution - made our Uganda / Rwanda safari a dream holiday
We had an amazing experience with TrueVine - a team with the right blend of Experience, Energy and Enthusiasm. It started with the trip planning - very diligent and meticulous, and responsive communication. Despite the short notice, all permits were in place ... excellent choice of lodging, in line with our taste. Almost every detail was taken care of - ensuring that lodges provided us a good veg spread, ensuring the distance from the lodge to the trek start point is minimal. They even went the extra mile - sorting out some last minute visa challenges we had with Uganda immigration, taking extra care when one of us fell ill briefly - they tweaked the itinerary to ensure we didn't miss anything.
A special mention for our driver-guide, Patrick. A terrific combination of expert knowledge, safe driving, people networks and friendly disposition. During our drives between National Parks , he would talk about the respective kingdoms, their natural resources , language, people etc. while in the national park, all about the plants / trees / animals / birds and the whole ecosystem. And the local food and experiences that he went out of the way to organize.
Thank you Douglas, Patrick and the TrueVine for creating this dream holiday for us.
We'll be counting on them for our trip to Congo.
