Great deal and services !
Ongoing communication was possible right from the time we booked our tour. Everything the tour operator -Nazir- promoted was delivered.
The food was excellent 5/5. Our chef- Freddy- was amazing. He kept our apetite pleased and the quaility and variety of the dishes were oustanding.
The Safari tour guides - Anuary and Julius - were very patient and knowledgeable. Specially Julius who was very strategic during the Safari by placing the truck in better spots for viewing.
I will recommend to provide more often or better cleaning care for the floor mats -used in the tents for sleeping. Also cleaning and drying care for the covers protecting the car seats.
In general the price was very reasonable when compared to other operators. The quality and the variety for our 4 days Safari deal ( meals, accomodation, transportation, guide …) of our tour was worthy 100%.
The package included a tour if the city if Arusha, a visit to ine of the Maasai tribes. It would have been helpful to know the Maasais were charging $15 usd to te enter to their community.
In my experience, if you are used to camping this is right for you.
Have an awesome time in Tanzania.

The Most Exotic Safari Experience!!!!!
It’s an amazing trip more than my imagination. Arrangement from the beginning up to the end of our Safari was done perfect with Mr. Faraja.
Accommodation is clean with daily bottle water reserved.
Delicious food is fresh and warm-kept, which is quite impressive in wild environment. I prefer hot food to lunch box.
GODWIN, our tour guide and drive in Serengeti, is experienced and kindly. All of my friend does agree he has eagle eyes that he always sees well-hidden big cats in bush.
Of course I will recommend Full Package Adventures to my friends!

Friendly and warm tour
Had a great time with the afternoon lion park tour. Our guide/driver was early/on time, super friendly, and a safe driver. The lion park was amazing, and we saw lions, leopards, hyenas, and much more including a giraffe who my partner was able to feed. Really fun day and super happy we did this!

An exciting and Luxurious Safari!!!
The whole experience was fantastic. Our guide JOHN was very knowledgeable and did a great job of finding the best experiences. The organization of accommodation and transfers was seamless. The car was also very comfortable and the daily lunches which John organized felt very luxurious when out on safari. I would 100% recommend booking with Full Package Adventures.

Delivers on its promises...
Our 10-day Lion King safari met all our expectations. We saw an amazing number of animals and the accomodations with one exception were fine (and the other wasn't awful, just not ready for prime time yet.) We booked the middle level package, so there was a nice mix of top lodges and middling camping lodges as you would expect. Our guide, Joseph, was outstanding. With his eight years of experience he was able to spot hidden animals with incredible accuracy and could identify not just the big beasts but the birds and smaller critters as well--which were of particular interest to us. His depth of knowledge was really amazing and his driving skills were perfect--never a sense of concern but we didn't get stuck behind the crowds either. The back office was less than ideal leading up to the event (it was unclear when we were supposed to pay the balance after making a deposit and had our itinerary changed because we hadn't paid well befor the due date. Some notice earlier would have been nice). Pay the balance at least a few months early. Also, be prepared to have some difficulty paying--no credit cards, no checks. We had to sign up for the Wise system and do a foreign bank transfer through it, which left us a little worried. All went fine. Also, the ATMs are picky in Arusha and wouldn't take any of our cards for cash withdrawals. Bring your tipping cash with you. One other tip--we chose to come a day early and do a Kilimanjaro short hike. Don't bother. Unless you are going to truly hike the mountain, the day trip is dull and not worth the time or money. In th end this was a great trip--we chose Lion King because our son and his fiancee had used them during the Covid year and recommended them highly. We do too.

Epic Family Safari
We came to Tanzania and got the best game and cultural experience with Baraka as our guide. He was awesome and made sure we had the best time during the trip. Some of the key highlights of the safari trip include the view of the migration from the hot air balloon, spending a day with the Maasai and the exciting game drives in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Camping in the tented camps was a new experience and made the trip all the more authentic.
I am glad that we went with Vervet Safari Tours

Lulu Safaris provided amazing service with a wonderful tour guide, Samuel. Highly recommended!
Lulu Safaris is an amazing tour company. We are a group of 4 (2 couples) who did a 11 day tour with Lulu Safaris across Uganda. My friend and I planned an exhaustive itinerary and shared it with Elvis. He gave suggestions and various options w.r.t the order of game drives, night safari options, hotel/lodge recommendations, etc. The conversations with him over Whatsapp were very easy and it felt he understood our requirements really well. All communications were in English.
Quality of service: Our tour guide, Samuel is a wonderful human being. From the time he picked us up at the airport to the time he dropped us off at the airport, Samuel took great care of our group. He patiently answered all our questions (we asked a lot) and made sure we got food on time, restroom breaks, took care of our belongings at every stop and made sure our overall experience was first class. He provided a lot of information w.r.t game drives in Uganda and the various scenarios one could experience w.r.t animal encounters. Within a day or two, he understood our group dynamics and worked very well with all of us. He has more than a decade worth of experience and one could tell.
One of our members is a vegetarian and they ensured there were vegetarian options for every meal.
Value for money: We compared quite a few tour operators before selecting Lulu. They were a nice balance between comfort, flexibility and cost effectiveness.
Overall, Elvis and Samuel were proactive with timely updates on our requests during the trip. If you are booking with Lulu Safaris, ask for Samuel.

Perfection in every aspect
We booked a 2-day safari to Tarangire/Ngorongoro. We requested quotes from different providers, but the communication with Fransisca from Mellivora African Travels was by far the best - she answered our questions fast, with a lot of detail and tried to find the best possible solution.
Everything went as planned, we were picked up from our hotel, flew to Arusha where our guide, Ernest was waiting for us.
Ernest was an excellent guide for the whole tour, looked out for us in every aspect. He was a very safe driver, but also not slow by any means neccesary :-)
In the parks he communicated constatly with the other guides where-what was going on in the park so we could see everything what we wanted. He knew every track and tried to stay away from crowded places. We had a lot of luck seeing lion cubs, a leopard, a black rhino among a lot of other animals.
The food provided was also excellent, when we needed something, Ernest took care of that swiftly.
The accomodation was a big positive surprise also, a very new, excellent lodge (African Safari Karatu).
The 2 days were quickly over, Ernest brought us in time to the airport.
We can recommend Mellivora African Travels in every aspect and we will be back for a bigger tour sometimes in the future - definitely with Ernest!
