Great organization, excellent game drives and accomodations, and an amazing trip
We started communicating with Noel several weeks before our trip. He was very responsive and accoodating, making good suggestions and remaining patient as we changed our plans back and forth. He took great care of us and made us feel like family. During our stay we made a few last-minute changes (moving from a hotel we chose to a much nicer hotel Noel recommended), and it was a huge relief to know that all the logistics were taken care of.
The trip itself was amazing! Jackson was an amazing driver who was shockingly good at finding the animals hiding out in the Serengeti. At one point, we found a pride lions walking along, and were lucky enough to have them come up to our car, wiht some cubs even ducking underneath ins earch of shade (this led to amazing photos!).
Highly recommended

Responsive, flexible, accommodating.
Our experience with Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours couldn’t have been more positive. From the planning stage where they added on additional activities, they accommodated our every request at reasonable rates.
Of particular note, our flights were delayed resulting in us missing a connection and arriving in Victoria Falls a day later. I emailed Silence letting her know and by the time we arrived she had managed to reorganize our itinerary so that we did not have to miss out on any of the activities during our stay. She was available and helpful, along with Oscar, during our time in Victoria Falls and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help in ensuring we had an incredible trip. Our driver Francis was an absolute delight - a source of wonderful insight into the country and culture and met us each day with a warm smile and enthusiasm. We will definitely use them again if we return as we couldn’t have asked for a better trip!

Excellent detail oriented tour operator
We booked our 9 days of Tanzania Safari tour with MMS. We contacted the owner Talib, bit late in our planning process but he was very accommodating and worked with us with lots of patience, finalizing the itinerary and securing the bookings at lodges/campsites of our choosing.
Our trip started at Nairobi JOMO international airport, as Syed from MMS was waiting for us. The plan was to transfer us to our Hotel in Moshi but as a last minute change, we wanted to stop at friend’s house for lunch. Syed agreed without hesitation though he even brought some packed lunch for us to save time during a long drive.
We reached to Arusha at around 8pm for a quick stop at their office where Daniel Mitawas and Husain from MMS waiting for us for a quick briefing. All arrangements very quite neat and well coordinated including a quick meeting a day before with Ali -our guide for Kilimanjaro day hike on Day 3, meeting and greeting with Talib before embarking for the exciting part of 9 days Safari with driver-guide Remi.
The safari experience with MMS turned out to be quiet better than expected. Remi was very friendly, knowledgeable and respectful. The vehicle was very clean everyday throughout our trip, well equipped with enough drinking water and tea made and served by Remi at the lunch time during safari- loved it!!
Remi made our trip more interesting and enjoyable with his vast knowledge about the animals and birds, telling us names of those birds (even repeating them every time we see them but forget or mis-spells the names) and driving us to the right spot at the right time, especially the wild beast migration at Northern Serengity.
Overall, we were really impressed with the quality of service and professionalism thorough out from planning to execution of our Tanzania Safari. Everyone from MMS were so helpful, friendly and supportive that made our experience even better.
I would definitely recommend MMS to anyone looking for a reliable tour operator for Tanzania.

Not a good value
The advertised 10 day itinerary was actually 8.5 days.
If you don't do the optional tours, you'll be alone at camp for 15-20 hours over the trip.
If you do do the optional tours, the price of the trip doubles.
Pressure to tip. Even forced to tip $10pp once.
Bus: It's dirty because it doesn't get deep cleaned. It's dangerous because it's just a plywood shell with plate glass windows all around (good view though). And it broke down so we were stranded by the highway.
Guide: It felt like the tour guide and/or operator were going from kickback to kickback.
Cook: 3 out of 5 stars. Lunch was nasty sandwiches.
Safari: Incredible. Chobe is an awesome place, and the drivers (3rd party) are good at what they do.
Africa: Great experience, don't let ATC jeopardize it.

The owner is dedicated and so is the tour guide
Recently, my wife and I traveled to Tanzanian prairie to follow the great migration of animals. This is the safari of a lifetime. We were lucky to have chosen the right time for our safari and even more luckier to have chosen the right tour operator. Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club is a local travel agency in Arusha. The owner is very dedicated and greets guests personally. We arrived around one in the morning due to flight delay. But the owner was still waiting for us at the hotel. The next morning, the owner rushed back again to the hotel to see us off for our safari. During the safari, the owner would often care about our daily life through the driver. We pay tribute to owner. We are also grateful to him for arranging an excellent and dedicated driver and guide for us. Joshua, who has more than ten years of safari experience, gallops on the prairie, and is very familiar with the roads. Safari requires experience and luck. under Joshua's guidance, we not only saw the Big Five of Africa, but also witnessed the spectacular scene of thousands of wildebeests crossing the Mara River. We had a great eight days on the prairie with Joshua and we will miss him. We wish Joshua, his wife and children a happy life.

Incredible tour company - best experience
Absolutely exceptional - from the booking and organisation to the day-to-day experiences, lodges, food and beautiful scenery.
Africa Adventure Vacations were brilliant. The customer service was out of this world. Robert organised everything for us, and we paid directly from an Australian bank account to the Ugandan bank. It was smooth and easy to coordinate. The cost was significantly cheaper booking directly allowing us to take advantage of the incredible lodges and accommodation booked.
It was a dream trip - we saw and experienced everything we wanted to - from lions hunting at night, to hippos wading through the lakes, elephants crossing roads and baboons jumping on the truck. It was just a great adventure from start to finish.
We cannot recommend AAV enough. Our guide Abdul met us at the airport and then he ensured we had everything we needed from that point on. A dream come true.
Don't hesitate and book today!

4 day safari Amboseli Tsavo West/East
I did a 4 day safari to Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park.
It is an one-off experience.
I did the safari with Kenya bush expedition, my tour guide was Joseph, a brilliant guy with a good knowledge of the animals and the savannah, I have learnt a lot from him
I do recommend the safari to everyone.

Fantastic!
I did a solo tour around Tanzania and my tour guide Johnson was amazing, the best driver out of all of the others. He was so good at spotting all the animals and getting into good photo spots. I can't recommend FIF Tours enough, they were very flexible and managed to let me see everything even though I was by myself.
