Raw Bush Adventure
Tanzania is beautiful and Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris hosted our safari very smoothly. The last 7 days of our camping safari have been filled with wild safari adventure. It has been wonderful from the moment we landed in Tz and started our safari the following day in the morning.
Major favourite points of the safari are black rhino in Ngorongoro, dancing with Hadzabe bushmen, picnic lunch in the bush, waking up to natural African sounds, enjoying the African sunset after game drives........ infact it has been great. We chose camping option rather than sleeping in lodges to experience the raw bush experience and there are no regrets as it has been quite comfortable and the delicious food complements to the our private camping cook Jackson.
Sleeping in a tent in the parks is very exciting as the night is filled with sounds of wild animals passing near the campsite. The game drives in Serengeti are very special as you follow the wildebeest in the open expansive plains for miles.
Wonderful experience at the right price. This has been a very different experience from seeing animals in the zoo and will come back sometime for more.

Amazing, unique experience with expert guide and company. Thank you!
Speke Uganda Holidays and in particular our guide David made this truly amazing experience extra special. The trip was very well organised from beginning to end, the accommodation was lovely (and usually in a fabulous, scenic location), and everything was focused on making sure that our experience was the best it could possibly be. I cannot speak highly enough of Speke Uganda Holidays. A very professional company whose focus is on making sure that their clients enjoy their time in this lovely country. Our guide David clearly loves his country and is an amazing ambassador for Uganda and for Speke Uganda Holidays.

An all-inclusive safari that doesn't bankrupt you!
We are very late writing this review, but our guide/driver Adam and our chef Isaac took incredible care of us and showed us one of this planets most extraordinary biomes. We did the 7 day safari but tacked two additional days on the end and came back with hundreds upon hundreds of photos of every animal you could want to see and many we didn't even know about before we left. This safari is great for you if you want to rough it just a liiiiiittle bit so you feel like you are out in the natural world, but when you need a creature comfort like a shower you can have that too. The hotel at Arusha is quite nice and comfortable and on the flip side the camping in Tarangire and the Serengeti is a lot of fun an isn't dangerous. Basically if you have ever camped and enjoyed it you will enjoy this. We were well fed and the guys were very accommodating if we had a need or request and we were very safe. They wouldn't let you put yourself in danger were always there with helpful advice. Really if you want to go on safari but don't have $8k-$10k to throw around I highly recommend this one. You'll see everything you dreamed of seeing and the only thing you will miss is the opulent former hunting lodges. And since hotels aren't why you come to Tanzania, you won't miss them one bit.
Adam and Isaac, sorry it took us so long to say THANK YOU!

An incredible real safari experience, well organised, tailored, easy, fun and confortable!
It was really well organised!
Since we contacted them , they text us back in 5 minutes. Pick up at the airport, and once at the hotel, we could pay there (they gave us the option to pay at arrival).
Next day we started the safari and was incredible! with the best guide ever, Brenson, explained us all the animals, and in 4 days we saw all of them!
Really professional! We had a great time with him and the food was also great!
Sleeping inside the natural parks was amazing! It made everything more authentic.
The team at the hotel was also really kind, and helpful.
Tanzania is going to be in my heart for a while... for sure!
Dealing with Michelle at AAT has been a Horrible experience. Would not recommend it at all.
We were excited for our trip to Phuket but AAT still owes us money and has delivered no flights. Communication has been poor. Our emails have been unanswered and no one picks up the phone.
Service has been unprofessional and unethical.
My advice would be to stay away as I am currently still money out of pocket due to African Adventure Travels.

Incredibly Awesome Experience
This was such an incredible experience that words almost fail me! Tony was professional and friendly. He listened attentively as we only had four days and needed to cram in as much as possible. We really didn’t think we could do everything we wanted to but Tony made it happen. They have a different approach to their company than others - the guides are empowered and share in the company thus ensuring that the vehicles are well maintained and only the most knowledgeable guides work with them. This really rang true when we met with Ian the guide. His knowledge was encyclopaedic, his ability to spot animals incredible and his network of friends meant we got a quick heads up when an animal had been spotted. He was so well respected amongst other guides and even berated a younger one for not doing the right thing during the migration of the wildebeest. Above all we felt safe and in protective hands. If you are looking for Safari then look no further, this is the one. Why have good when you can have Excellent! Highly Recommended Tanzania Exclusive Journeys.

Excellent 6-Day Safari with Adventure 360
I recently returned from a 6-day safari to Kenya, visiting 3 separate national parks, using Adventure 360. All of my expectations were achieved.
This touring company offers different levels of safaris. They call them Basic, Moderate, and Luxurious, predicated upon accommodations, meals, beverages and "extras." My wife and I chose Basic as it was the most affordable. Basic accommodations were lodging with no frills. This was very clearly explained to us prior to the trip, so we knew what to expect. Meals too were basic. Good wholesome meals, but not gourmet. The meals were nourishing, filling and tasty.
Each day's safari was lengthy (all day) and we spotted numerous animals including the Big Five. The driver/guide was quite knowledgeable in pointing out various animals and explaining information about them.
Charity, the Program Coordinator assisted us through initial inquiry to the conclusion of our tour. She promptly answered all my e-mails and concerns. She alleviated my anxiety about using Adventure 360, which we never heard of before our initial inquiry. She is wonderful!
Based upon our experience, we highly recommend Adventure 360 for a very affordable safari.
In short, if you want to view a plethora of pachyderms and a large variety of other animals at the expense of foregoing Egyptian cotton sheets and cocktails on a laced tablecloth on the savannah, then Adventure 360 may be right for you. But if you must have fine linens with your lions, Adventure 360 can arrange that too. Just contact Charity.

Recommandable touroperator
We had a nice trip with Shoebill Safari’s too The Murchison Falls in the north of Uganda. We had good contact before the start of the trip and we were able to make some adaption to the standard planning. Our guide was a walking encyclopedia. He knew a lot of the country, the wildlife and especially the birds. By that the trip was very informative too.
