The best ever!
We had the best experience with Savannah Explorers - a true dream! We are three women (mum + daughters) and we always felt safe and looked after.
From the start, Alessandra was amazing at helping us planning the trip. She replied quickly and adjusted the itinerary to our preferences. She answered all our many questions with kindness and endless patience.
All the lodges she booked for us are incredible (especially Kifaru Lodge and Marera Mountain View). They are all set in stunning sceneries, extremely clean and comfortable. The staff everywhere was amazing - everyone so kind and attentive.
The best thing about our safari was our guide, Emanuel Msangi. He is super professional and incredibly experienced, and shared his amazing knowledge about animals and nature. Thanks to him, we saw all the big five (including the black rhino!!), a cheetah hunt, and even the wildebeests crossing (one of the best experiences of our lives). He always found the best viewing spots, and he did absolutely everything to make sure we’d see the animals we wanted! He is such a skilled driver and we always felt so safe with him.
Grazie mille Alessandra, Emanuel and the whole Savannah team. We can’t wait to come back :) Paola, Camilla & Carlotta

Great organisation of the trip, from the beginning to the end
It was a great experience in the safari tour with the guide from Jocky Tours & Safaris. Our guide, Raheem Mwema, was a great guide with good knowledge about the country, all the lands, about the people and more important about the animals and all their behaviour and way of living. He was a good driver and take care of us and our needs all the time in the safari tour. We highly recommend their tours, but have in mind that you need to follow up to them. After our safari tour, the next day we have booked an one day coffee plantation tour and was necessary to remind then in last day of our safari, but somehow they managed to make it happed (a bit expensive that we talked).

Wild Portaits Safaris is your best bet for an unforgettable experience
We just came back from our second safari trip with James of Wild Portraits Safari. We had the greatest possible experience during our 9 day-trip from Amboseli (Kenya), to Tarangine, Ngorongoro, Serengeti (Tanzania) and then to the Mara in Kenya. The full trip was well organized and included so many highlights: beautiful sights, the landscapes, the wildlife, James' ability to find the quiet spots with magnificent viewing, great accommodations, breakfast in the Mara, horseback riding amongst buffalo, hyena and giraffes, and of course James' great company, his care for his guests and his drive to make the full experience perfect. We are already planning our next visit and will certainly travel with James again. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a fantastic vacation.

Amazing wildlife with a bush camp experience
Organising the safari with Walking Stick was easy. Our questions were quickly answered. Amazing wildlife throughout the 10-day camping safari. So many big cats. Our guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable, and funny, and we largely avoided the crowds. We had limited washing water at times, but our camp assistants did their best to provide for our needs in each of the five campgrounds. Highly recommended, particularly for those with a sense of adventure.

A Magical Family Safari Adventure with African Big Cats in Tanzania!
We recently had the privilege of embarking on a family safari adventure with African Big Cats in Tanzania, and it was an experience that exceeded all our expectations in every possible way! From the moment we landed in this stunning country, to the final farewell, every aspect of our journey was expertly crafted to ensure our family had an unforgettable and magical experience.
Impeccable Service: The African Big Cats team truly knows how to make you feel special. From the warm welcome at the airport by our knowledgeable guide Lordie, to the attentive and friendly staff at our camps, every interaction was filled with genuine care and enthusiasm. Lordie’s passion for the wildlife and deep knowledge of the region added an incredible dimension to our safari.
Spectacular Wildlife Encounters: Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater , Lake Manyara Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks are renowned for their abundant wildlife, and we were fortunate to witness the circle of life in action. Lions, elephants, giraffes, and countless other animals were seen up close, often going about their daily routines. The highlight was undoubtedly watching the Wildebeest annual migration – a memory we will cherish forever.
Comfortable Accommodations: Our accommodations were nothing short of luxurious. The tented camps arranged for by African Big Cats were comfortable, and spacious and provided all the amenities one could need in the wilderness. Falling asleep to the sounds of the African night was an experience in itself.
Educational and Engaging: Our African Big Cats guide Lordy made sure we were thoroughly engaged and educated throughout our trip. He shared fascinating facts about the animals and their behaviour, sparking our curiosity and leaving us all with a deeper appreciation for nature. Lordy’s pride in his country and its people was admirable and we left having learned so much from him about about their tenacity and resourcefulness.
Smooth Logistics: Every logistical detail was handled seamlessly, from our airport transfers to the safari vehicles' maintenance and safety. Lordy drove confidently and safely and we felt safe and well-cared for at all times.
Responsible Tourism: African Big Cats is dedicated to responsible tourism and conservation efforts. They respect the environment and wildlife and , and we were delighted to support their ethical approach to safari experiences.
In conclusion, our family safari with African Big Cats in Tanzania was an experience of a lifetime. We departed with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will stay with us forever. If you're considering a family safari, look no further – African Big Cats is the perfect choice for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Africa. Thank you, African Big Cats, for making our dream safari a reality! We can't wait to return.

Excellent
As other people here I wholeheartedly recommend Lelaa tours to everyone who is reading this review like I was, couple a months before my trip.
You will get a very personalized approach and excellent service. You will be treated not as a client but as an old friend.
We chose to do a Northern circuit in Tanzania. I was in awe of the beauty that we saw - which was only possible thanks to our guide Jackson, who did a great job showing us everything and finding the best routes.
The choice of lodges was excellent - I did not expect to have wifi or hot water in the middle of African savannah - hours away from any city.
The food was great, especially dinners.
We also had a personalized Arusha tour and for our last night a real African dinner at one of the local restaurants. (Delicious!)
In conclusion - I hope that my review will clear any doubts if you are in process of choosing a tour company in Tanzania. Lelaa tours is definitely trustworthy and is an excellent choice.
Thank you to Eric and Jackson for taking care of our every need and giving us a lifetime experience!

Trip of dreams
Booking with Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours was made so easy thanks Silence and the team. Being a solo traveller, my trip was so made so special from Oscar picking me up at my hotel, to helping me transfer across boarders and dropping me back at my hotel at the end. Although only 2 days it was one of my favourite tours, and Chobe Park is definitely on my list to return to if I have the chance. Thank you team for helping createthe trip of my dreams!
