Best safari planners
This was my fourth safari with Safari Update Travels, and there is a reason I keep coming back. The level of service, from the moment your plane touched down, until the last safari has been taken, is an outstanding experience in quality and customer service. Everyone knew our name wherever we went, everyone went out of their way to make us feel as though we were the only ones on the safari, the patience the drivers showed along with their excitement and knowledge, made this a trip one I will always remember. Kudos to ERICK and SHEM!!! Being in the hospitality industry like I am, I tend to see things that others might not notice in regards to cleanliness, etc. Not with Safari Update Travels!!! The accomodations were so first class five star quality, the service as good as any of the finest companies in the world. So, bottom line..... 4 safaris and counting. Congratulations Safari Update Travels!!!

Wonderful Insight to The Pearl of Africa
After many emails and whattapp calls with Nicholas we finally came up with an amazing 6 days itinerary to Uganda to do safari and gorillas tracking. This trip with Boaz was an eye opener on how conservation works wonders in preserving rare gorillas, chimps and other wildlife in Uganda. Game and boat rides inside the protected areas yielded close encounters with the African big 5, many birds and the unique opportunity to track gorillas in Bwindi forest. We stayed in comfortable lodges that were just as described in the itinerary. A big thank you to the Devine African Safaris for this wonderful safari to experience the Pearl of Africa.

Great experience with great nature!
We were extremely happy with our journey. Thanks to our guide, Hoza, and our chef, Godson.
Hoza is a person who is both strict and polite yet very professional and informative about various topics. Though the tour company is known for highly skilled tour guides, it is rare to find a guide such as Hoza, who is a professional and can care for all customers. I enjoyed casual conversation with Hoza about lifestyle in Tanzania which was eye-opening.
All meals prepared by Godson were delicious! Especially I loved the zucchini soup which I now regret not asking him a recipe. I think he tried his best to cook food that accepted by most diversity, which included spaghetti to rice. I appreciate that, but I wanted to enjoy some of more local recipes too!
The tour itself was equally good! With our tight schedule, Everlyn, the coordinator, restructured the whole travel so that we would not miss a thing while we are in great nature which was truly thoughtful. We saw the big five, the great migration of zebras and wild beasts, the endless plains of Serengeti, the animal paradise of Ngorongoro. Each of the experiences was astonishing. Everything I saw made me speechless. This tour truly is a life experience.
Though--I cannot emphasize more that this is none of the tour company nor guide's fault, yet, unfortunately, our travel companions were (simply put) terrible. They were gullible, arrogant, filthy, ugly, uneducated, and shameless African Americans who cannot respect this great nature but constantly murmur about the most trivial "problem" they can find to bother both the guide and other customers. (If you happen to be one of those who cannot show some respects to the locals/culture or only care about how many "likes" your selfies can get, do me a favor and don't travel at all. They are truly a cancer of tourism.) I feel sorry for Hoza for what he had to go through; regardless, he tried his best to accommodate all those uneducated swine while trying to be fair to the rest of the pack. That is, after driving more than 11 hours of bumpy roads of safaris! It was truly shameful! I feel sorry for the tour company, that a customer can freely pick a company, but not vice versa.
All in all, we were very happy with what we experienced and all of the services which we receive from Seven Wonder Safari and Hoza. With all the hospitality which they offered, we now only wish to come back again to Tanzania in the future (perhaps with longer periods with a little more flexible schedule), and when we do, hopefully, we do have a better tour companion.

best experience!
Erick Laizer and the team at LELAA TOURS are so attentive and go out of their way to make your Safari as memorable as possible.
I joined a 5-day group safari and instantly bonding with my “safari family”. We made up a mini United Nations coming from Australia, Finland, Israel, Switzerland and Tanzania.
Our guide Robert was fun and friendly and clearly and experienced guide and driver helping us to spot 4/5 Big Five. Our cook Dullah made more food than any of us could eat! You wouldn’t believe what he can create with little to no equipment (inc. freshly baked bread with every meal!)
I would recommend LELAA TOURS to anyone and everyone looking at going on safari in Tanzania in search of a life-changing experience.

We were very happy with the smooth communication and all the details given before the trip. Also during the trip, we had the perfect guide and learned a lot. Will always book again with Natural World.

Wonderful TanzaniaSafari
Amos the director migration venture Africa was excellent when planning our safari trip. Everything about our trip was well organized, timely and meant something. The 4x4 safari vehicle driven by super guide Erasto was comfortable and handled the muddy safari trails with no difficulty, taking us from one animal sighting to the next in the northern Tanzania parks. We have seen a lot of different animals and visited two local communities of Maasai and Datoga people. Amos booked us in excellent lodges one which was in the middle of the Serengeti National Parks. We had an amazing time with my family with migration venture Africa and hope to return to Tanzania soon.
