Experienced tour operator
I enjoyed this safari! It was relaxing and exciting at the same time. It is ideal if you would like to spend a week in the middle of nature. We saw a lot of animals every day and stayed in good-quality accommodations. It was nice to have evening and morning safaris, as some animals are more active during sunrise. The driver was very polite and knowledgeable.

Everything went simply excellent from start to finish
I was thrilled from the start with the pleasant communication and flexibility in planning the trip. We could bring in our ideas for the trip and Jalala then implemented them for us (especially the Kolo Paintings in Kondoa!! quite extraordinary!!). Peter was a wonderful guide, he was very experienced and knew exactly when, where and which animals were best to see and always impressed us with his friendly manner and sense of good humour. We enjoyed the trip with AAA Express Adventure from beginning to end, every moment was a beautiful experience in this beautiful country with its open-hearted people!!

Overall fair satisfaction
We were not advised to avoid online visa application..that was costly!!
Few misguided information as to what expected to see at the safari games and the standard of the lodges! Some were excellent and some were very poor with no hot water to shower in the morning!
Our Guide was lazy overweight and more on his mobile than guiding us ...with the operator instruction to Tip him 10 usd daily ..not good !
Overcharged for luggage extra weights at domestic flight from Arusha to zanzibar..
However after all ..very good holiday with lovely Tanzanian people.

Wonderful experience
Jadi safaris did a wonderful job of customizing my Safari experiences before and after a conference I was attending. They were so responsive to our every request and flexible.

Very flexible, knowledgable, and capable of improvisation
It was a special tour in september 2021, because there was no fixed plan as is usually the case when you take a safari in Tanzania. It was at the end of the Covid restrictions and I decided to rent a car and driver instead of going by public transport. It was a mix of visiting people and holiday and the plan was changing from day to day. Samson was very capable of adapting himself to my ideas and give good advise. He arranged a hike into Empakaai Crater with the same ease as we did an excursion to Snake Park with six primary school kids. We also visited Lake Natron by car.
In fact it all went so well, that I convinced six people from my country to make a safari with Golden Trips and Samson this year (2023) in November I really trust everything will be fine, I will be there as well!

Amazing experience and great service
We had an amazing trip in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru! Our driver and guide, Joe, was kind and knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. He made sure we had the best experience, finding all the animals (we got the big five!), all with excellent driving in sometimes difficult terrain. Although our onward flight to the beach got changed to an earlier time, he made sure we had enough time to pass by lake Naivasha for a boat ride, which was great. Also, Ruphina from the office checked up on us multiple times to ensure all was good. Overall, a great trip with good value for money. Would recommend!

11-Day Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Amboseli Park
This is our first time in Kenya and Africa. The inquiry and booking process was easy. Abongo, the founder of the company, was very responsive both on email and WhatsApp.
We arrived to Nairobi City one day earlier and were given the full day excursion to Giraffe Center, August 7th Memorial Park (US embassy), Kenya National Archive Center and Nairobi Gallery. Our guide was Kevin (the company's marketer) together with his driver. The excursion helped us to settle into the "polepole" mode. Tip: arrive to Nairobi at least 1 day early
Next morning we were picked up from our hotel and, after pre-departure meeting, started safari.
The safari has been the best experience thanks to our guides David from Silver Spark Africa Safaris in Kenya and Waziri from Nyangulo Africa Safaris in Tanzania,
After the end of our trip Abongo, David and Kevin took us out to dinner to the famous Nairobi restaurant The Carnivore and after that escorted us to our hotel for a group photo and final "lala salama".
Every minute of the trip we felt protected and in safe hands of our guides and the company.

Amazing Safari
I went on a 4 day safari organized by Crater Explorer and it was better than expected. The organization worked flawlessly, the guide (David) and cook (Emanuel) were super friendly and professional. We got to see a ton of animals, eat great food and enjoy every moment of this trip.
Totally recommend it!
