The best Safari company in East Africa by far!
We did a lot of research into various tour companies (there are over 300) and found that Fahamu Safaris was the most accommodating as to itinerary, length of stay, tents/lodges, and Michael was able to answer all our various questions in a very timely basis. It was important to feel they wanted you to have the best trip possible and close communication was vital. We did 11 days on safari with Frank as a guide. I can't say enough about Frank and his ability to answer any and all questions, to show us so many animals we never would have seen (must have x-ray vision) and to drive hours on incredibly bumpy roads. If you pick Fahamu Safaris as your tour operator, you would be lucky to have Frank as your guide! Each day, we saw and did different things-from biking, hiking to the Empakaai Crater, seeing thousands of flamingos, and hiking in the Kilimanajaro area. The tents and lodging were all very comfortable, clean and the staff at each could not have been more helpful and accommodating. In each park we ventured into, Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, we saw different topography, animals, and birds. We stay at Isoitok Camp and spent an amazing afternoon with a Maasai guide taking us on a medicine tour to inform us of the various uses of the local tree bark, leaves, roots, etc. to treat common ailments. The following day we spent time at a Maasai boma (mud house) with the guide and were welcomed by the leader's wife into their boma. It was an experience of a lifetime. We were introduced to African TV (bon fire) at the Chaka camp where the staff could not have been more wonderful and a sunset that was magical. At the Rhino Lodge, we had zebras come up to within a couple of feet of our deck at feeding time which was almost surreal. There was not one tent/lodge that was not wonderful, so if you are thinking of a safari - give Fahamu Safaris a try! You will not be disappointed! We hope to come back!

Armaye Ethiopia Tours - Above and beyond all expectations!
Armaye was recommended by good friends when we were planning a trip to Ethiopia, and I would recommend his company to anyone interested in an independent tour of this very beautiful country. From first contact we found Armaye exceptionally professional, his knowledge and advice to be immensely helpful, and as soon as we met at the airport - with the wonderful Kinfe - our driver for the trip, we knew we were with friends. Seeing Ethiopia through their eyes, guiding us throughout with enthusiasm and humour, really made our visit so very special. Along the way we were introduced to local guides and leaders and enjoyed many adventures - taking time on Lake Tana visiting the monasteries, seeing hippos bathing! Walking in the Simien mountains with some truly amazing views and time spent watching Gelada monkeys. Castles in Gondar; the holy city of Axum and it’s magnificent stelae, taking part in the Mehelela procession by candlelight before dawn was so very well worth the early start, an experience that will remain in my memory forevermore. On to the rock churches in the Gheralta mountains and Lalibela, with an overnight stay camping near the Danakil depression. Just incredible, highlight after highlight, and throughout we were looked after like family by Armaye and Kinfe. Thank you both for everything you did for us, you remain affectionately in my heart and I do hope that one day we will be able to return and visit again with you.

Perfect tour with the best company and guide
Friendship Adventure Safaris Hello, I would like to commend the wonderful guide and driver Ernest Flavian Mushi who accompanied us on our trip to Tanzania. Mushi helped us from the first moment we landed and took care of everything we needed at any given moment. He helped us communicate with the locals, arranged for us technical matters we needed, and made sure we saw every animal, tree and important structure. Moshi drove the vehicle carefully and with high skill, made sure we got everywhere on time and did everything to make our experience perfect. And for that, I want to thank him and the Friendship Adventure Safaris company continued like this. Thanks to people like you, tourists love Tanzania and want to come and visit your amazing country. With great appreciation, the Gibori family.

The lions Kingdom
We made 10 days game drive through Selous Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I chosed this agency because it was a small one i wanted to support Tanzanian tourism and workers. So I suggest always to choose a local agency not an European one so that money could stay in Tanzany. I love animals I am vegetarian and the tended camps and lodges suggested were perfect, they always asked me about food preferences or intolerance.
The trip was great so many lions in Serengeti, i counted during the safari 77. There conservation is at the top; also many elephants in Tarangire and stunning sightsview of nature.
The Driver Salehe made his best for let us see wildlife, the contact with the owner Zef were very good he managed well also at the first by mailing. We had problems with car and Zef solved them.
So I suggest this agency they try to make the best in order of what are your planner. Amazing game viewing.
