Transformational and revealing
Our trip to the Murchison Falls National Park was simply amazing. I didn't expect how revealing it could be until I was there. I was amazed by the beautiful ecosystems of the savanna. Those animals, trees, grasses and water bodies bring my passion in environmental conservation to life. I would recommend people to visit, appreciate the place, and reflect our relation with the mother earth and other fellow beings who share this planet with us.
Our guide was Daniel, who is a local Ugandan from the western region. He was humourous, passionate, knowledgeable and caring. I learned a lot from him. He was quite determined when we were searhing for lions - and we did find two! This was not easy as we were informed. I highly recommend this company and their services. They put customer experience as their winning edge.

The tour operator was very professional, responsive and tailor made an offer for us.
This was my first safari tour, and I really liked it.
The entire experience was fun, the tour was delivered as promised and as per the itinerary. The driver that accompanied us was making sure that we get the best experience, sharing with us stories and fun facts about the places that we visited.
Great experience overall.

They were absolutely excellent in every aspect of the trip helping us fulfill our dream.
The tour operator was absolutely fantastic. They helped us plan the trip many months ahead, always replying quickly to messages and giving recommendations how exactly should we plan out our trip to Tanzania. The value for money was fantastic and the quality of service was outstanding. Every service they provided was executed on time with the budget indicated and with amazing quality.
Altogether we spent a month in Tanzania. Starting with a couple of days in Dar es Salaam and then transferring to the Kilimanjaro region to climbg the mountain via Lemosho route. All of the recommendations as to what route to choose and what to see in Dar es Salaam was discussed through with Tanzania Inside and Safari and they gave probably the best recommendations we could've gotten.
After the mountain we went to a 3-day safari which was absolutely mesmerizing. We saw 4 out 5 of the Big Five (only the leopard was not seen) and the safari guide was just an outstanding intelligent humble person who provided interesting insights of the African animal kingdom (greetings to Ibrahim!).
After the safari we went to Zanzibar and even for Zanzibar we received excellent recommendations from Tanzania Inside tour operator (when we were there they did not operate in Zanzibar, maybe it has changed now).
Overall a 10/10 experience and definitely would recommend their services for everyone interested in exploring Tanzania - one of the true jewels of Africa!

In search of a safaris to help me in my tour journey to Kenya, A friend of mine happened to recommend Super Africa wildlife and Adventure Safaris where she gave me Mr Martins contacts. I was able to contact him and he was a very reliable person. He organised for my pick up at the airport by our driver and guide Mr David. He was able to take us explore Kenya's diverse ecosystem and each day brought new surprises and unforgettable moments. Kudos to SAWAS

Great adventure Safari Tour, easy booking and nice contact, Safari with other Company
We (German couple 25-30 years) booked a Safari tour with crater experience and really enjoyed the trip. The conversation and booking was very easy and the reply to any questions we had very quick. We got picked up from the airport and had a overnight stay before the safari departure. We really recommand that as it was not stressy at all. We went on safari with a different company as they sometime put small groups together. The company was great but anyway we would like it more the be informed about this Plan by booking. We enjoyed the Game drives and the food was very good. Also After Safari there was a nice contact and help with shuttle services and pick up. Thanks for this experience.

Tanzania Explorer exceeded already high expectations
We recently returned from a fantastic trip to Tanzania. We loved our safari experience! Tanzania Explorer set up the perfect trip for us. Our safari planner, Sondre was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to all communication, providing a positive experience already in the planning phase. We enjoyed our brief stay at the Explorer Village and were well taken care of by the staff there. We met our safari guide at the airstrip in Ruaha and started an exciting safari immediately- seeing lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes and more with in the first hour of driving! Sam was an outstanding guide. He was great at spotting animals, full of interesting information about them and always seemed to know how long to stop for and when to get going again. While on safari we stayed at a beautiful camp called Asanja Ruaha. The rooms had amazing views, food was delicious and the staff and service provided were excellent. Really everything was perfect from start to finish of our trip. Thank you Tanzania Explorer!

Amazing experience!
I went on a two day Safari to Amboseli. The experience was amazing. I appreciated the service and responsiveness of Morningstar tours throughout. They contacted me early on to help me clarify my wishes and iron out any issues with booking. In the days before the tour, they sent me timely reminders and made arrangement for hotel pickup. Driver was very friendly and serviceable. The game drives were amazing with the driver finding the best spots to see animals. The lodge was great too. Would definitely book with Morningstar again.

An amazing and enjoyable Adventure
Were we lucky to be able to catch Samuel and Benson of Bush-Thorns Adventures on a few free days, for a last minute trip with them in Kenya.
Due to changes in our travel plans we ended up with a few unplanned days on the final stretch of our Kenya trip. We wanted to see Aberdare National Park, but we were not in Nairobi where most trips leave from; therefore it was hard to find something suitable. We contacted a few agencies, and noticed quickly that Bush-Thorns Adventures was by far the quickest, most communicative and most helpful to create an affordable plan that suited our departure location and wishes.
We spent two days visiting many beautiful Waterfalls in Aberdare National Park, and hiking Mt. Satima (4001m., often called Lesatime) together. This was a wonderful, exciting and for us doable hike suggested by Samuel, which turned out to be a great substitute for our cancelled Mt. Kenya trek.
We enjoyed it so much that we decided to extend our two day adventure with Samuel and Benson with a safari through Ol' Pejeta National Reserve; a testimony to their willingness and competency to adapt, make good suggestions and fully accommodate their clients even if they are 'spontaneous' travelers like us :)
A part from their competency, general care for our well-being and openness to 'new' itineraries, we also simply enjoyed their company; the conversations about Kenya, Wild-Life, tourism and our shared interest in birds definitely made the final part of our stay in Kenya with them one of the highlights. Our frantic search for birds often lead to funny moments with Benson flipping through his Birds of East-Africa book, while Samuel was trying to find matching bird sounds online in order to identify one of the many beautiful and for us foreign species we encountered.
If you are wondering wether to travel with Bush-Thorns Adventures, let this be a gentle but convincing nudge towards a yes.

Excellent from start to end.
What an amazing experience from start to end!!
Booking our safari with Nature In Spirit Travel was a breeze from the very start. It was very good communication with Victor in getting a safari trip as per our request and budget. All important questions and queries were answered very promptly and efficiently. We did the 10 days Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Hot Air Balloon at Serengeti. We covered Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Northern Serengeti. Our vehicle was comfortable with a rooftop which could be opened during the safari rides. There was also a cooler that kept ample supply of water, sodas and also beers for some of our outdoor lunches in the parks. There was also snacks of chips and nuts stocked up at all times thru the safari rides.
From the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport; we were picked up by our amazing guide Moses. Moses proved to be an amazing guide with such sharp eyes in spotting the most elusive wild animals; an absolutely skilled driver and an overall jovial person to have with us! He also became my Kiswahili teacher :)
Nature In Spirit selected all our accommodations for this trip and all were perfect and comfortable. Check-in to all hotels were seemless. Our package included sponsorship for water filters for 2 families who had polluted water sources. It gave us immense heartfelt joy in personally going to their simple homes to give them this water filters. Thank you David for including this in our package.
Overall we saw all the big 5 (Lion, Leopard, African Elephant, African Buffalo and Black Rhino) multiple times and so many more wild animals in their natural habitat. We had some cultural experiences with some native tribes, had local African food and also banana beer. The Hot Air Balloon ride arranged was great and will be a memorable experience for us. This was an amazing holiday for us and we highly recommend to do your safari trips with Nature In Spirit Travel. Asante sana & Nashukuru!!
