Attentive and responsive
I’ve never taken a safari but knew I wanted to go but was torn how to decide on a company.
I turned to safari booking.com. After reading reviews I selected Brilliant Safaris. Jane was so helpful I sent emails upon emails of questions/concerns she was responsive and detailed. Our group of 4 decided on 11 nights Tanzania/Zanzibar. On arrival to the airport everything was as described our guide Bony met us and the following day Jane met us at the hotel. She reviewed the weeks activity then took us on a tour of their office.
The safari was awesome! Bony was knowledgeable about the animals/birds/history.
He was flexible as some mornings a later start was needed.
The safari vehicle was comfortable for the 4 of us. The company provided drinks and snacks.
Our lunches on safari were made fresh daily.
It was an amazing experience Jane and Bony took care of all our needs.
While in Zanzibar another company handles that part but Jane continued to reach out.

everything was very well organized ;except the additional proposals which were very expensive
very good organization and standards corresponding to our expectation ;
The guide /driver was very professional ; the pedestrian tour with the ranger was a very good experience
But , the proposal for additional activities in arusha are extremely expensive and of no interest ( except the market )
The night safary was very interesting but far too expensive
The scuba diving was not exiting , not possible to dive with the safety jacket ; far too much people ; and therefore no security to follow the diver

Top operator, we "Smiled With Them" all along. Highly recommended!
Our group of 3 families (10 persons) took the 3-day safari tour at Selous (Nyerere NP). From our first contact with the operator until the end of the tour, everything ran seamlessly, to our full satisfaction (in terms of professionalism, efficiency, speed and quality of service, experience and value for money). The operator was highly efficient and professional. Jacob (their contact person) was always kind and very prompt in responding to our communication, and arranged to pick us up from our hotel in Dar Es Salaam and drive us back straight at the Zanzibar ferry terminal on Day 3, which helped avoid the hassle/cost of additional transportation arrangements.
On day 1, we arrived at Jimbiza Camp (Selous) in the early afternoon, and were greeted with a warm smile by Godson, the person in charge, who was polite, well-organised, always available, and ensured we had a smooth, pleasant and safe stay. Our tents were clean, spacious with all necessary amenities for a safari accommodation (including en suite WC and shower). After a quick lunch at the camp, we had a boat ride on the Rufiji river, saw many hippos, a few crocodiles and various animals and birds, while enjoying a beautiful sunset.
Day 2 was the full safari day in the Nyerere NP by jeep. Kassim and Msafiri, skilled drivers, highly experienced guides, and most of all, persons of remarkable kindness and personalities, drove us smoothly and safely through the rough Tanzanian roads and the Park's terrain. They displayed their experience (and good local information network) in locating several kinds of animals (including a pack of 14 lions), while showing mastery and respect in the way they approached them, causing the least possible disturbance (as opposed to a number of 'kamikaze' drivers around us, who clumsily drove at high speeds towards the animals, scaring them away.) Our guides also had an extensive knowledge of the animal and plant ecosystem, and shared with us interesting insights on the Park's species and the environment.
On the 3rd day, instead of the usual 'morning walk in the jungle', Kassim noticed our interest to visit a Maasai village, and was kind enough to arrange a visit through his own contacts with the tribe's chief. We spent about 2 hours there, in what proved for us to be a highly educational interaction with these unique, proud and hospitable people.
We are thankful to the operator, and most of all our remarkable guides, for one of the best experiences of our lives. First-time safari visitors should bear in mind that this is wild nature, and seeing all animals you would hope for involves an element of chance. So cherish the experience as it comes, and appreciate what you will be lucky enough to encounter.

Incredible experience!
We had an amazing family holiday in Uganda, with thanks to Diana and our guide Ronnie. We visited Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park and finally the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see the Mountain Gorillas. Ronnie went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable trip and ensured our safety at all times. Would highly recommend using Intek Travel for your trip.

Francis and Nature Connect Safaris provided a perfect trip of a lifetime for our family!
From the beginning contact setting up our trip, to drop off at the end of our safari, Francis at Nature Connect Safaris offered top-notch service. Francis responded quickly on WhatsApp and by email with clear communication and great options to personalize our safari any way we wanted. We were able to have a private safari that had everything each of us wanted to do and see. We really packed a lot in our 3-day safari and Francis worked hard the entire time; nonetheless, we never felt rushed or too busy because of Francis’s great planning and flexibility. Francis is an exceptional host making sure we had the best views, sights, and experiences; he went above and beyond for us throughout our trip. Our food and accommodations were great and he takes care of his vehicle to make sure we were comfortable for the whole ride. Uganda is a beautiful country with lovely people and Francis helped us to have a full and wonderful experience getting to know its beauty and people.

Experience of a lifetime in Uganda!
Our family chose the 12 day trip to Uganda and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our guide, Paul, was extremely knowledgeable about all of the wildlife we encountered as well as about the country of Uganda. We learned so much! Fortunately we were able to see every animal possible including elephants, giraffes, zebras, leopards, hyenas, hippos, cape buffalo, crocodiles, chimpanzees, gorillas, various species of monkeys, antelopes, water bucks, a green mamba and more! We saw the rhinos in their sanctuary. We were so lucky to see all of the animals very close by. We did bring a camera with a zoom lens and binoculars which we used at the first sight of the animals, but ended up not needing either as we would end up very close to them. We opted to go on the gorilla trekking experience which was more physically demanding than we anticipated but well worth it. We came across three gorilla families and saw several silverbacks and also a baby gorilla. The weather was nice, not too hot, for the most part and three of the lodges we chose had beautiful pools. Of all of the great places we stayed, Turaco Treetops was our favorite. It was very modern and located in a beautiful setting. There were quite long drives between national parks although we got to witness the daily lives of the people of Uganda. It was a trip of a lifetime we will never forget! ❤️
