Serengeti Smile Highly Recommended - Ask for "Champion" as your Guide!
If you are considering tour operators for a visit to Tanzania, definitely consider Serengeti Smile. We booked a private (2 guests) 4 day guided tour during our short stay in Tanzania, and we customized our tour. We visited Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation, Ngrongoro Crater, a Maasai Village and Lake Manyara National Park. We covered a lot of ground in the short visit and the time was well spent, as our guide, "Champion," knew just where to go to have the highest probability of seeing lots of amazing wildlife. Obviously, no guide can guarantee to see the Big Five, but we were fortunate to see everything we had hoped to see and more! Champion was sure to keep us moving quickly enough to use our time wisely, and also to allow us plenty of time to take photos and just observe the animals as long as we wanted. We were never rushed, and we didn't waste time. Champion and his trainee, Dominic, were both extremely knowledgeable about the locations and the animals. They even had guidebooks on hand and looked up the animals so we could read more detail, if we were so inclined. For a young man (or a person of any age), Champion's knowledge of the places we visited, the culture and the wildlife was impressive! Champion speaks excellent English and has a very pleasant personality an sense of humor! Champion was a safe driver, and we always felt in good hands during the trip. During our first day in Serengenti National Park, we got a flat tire when we were just about 7 km from our lodge for the night. Champion and Dominic quickly and confidently changed the tire and had us on our way to the lodge in no time at all. We were very happy with all of the lodges we selected as a part of our tour, and all of the meals were excellent with great selections and options. Champion and Dominic were attentive to be sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying the visit. Every part of our trip was well-coordinated. Do not hesitate to book a tour with Serengeti Smile. I'm sure that all of their guides are great, but if you have the chance to request Champion, you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend Serengeti Smile and "Champion" as your guide!

She was very helpful and willing to make multiple calls to ensure a smooth trip
Glamping Africa Tours was excellent at organizing a wonderful birthday trip to Lamu. They gave us various options and costs and advised on the best hotel set up for a romantic weekend. They even arranged for a birthday dinner at a separate hotel complete with a beach set up. We found everything ready, from airport pick up to the hotel waiting for us with cold drinks. We had a wonderful weekend which we attribute to great planning by Glamping Africa Tours and their knowledge of hotels in Lamu. We shall book with them again.

Responsive, accommodating, transparent smaller tour company with big heart
We are a group of 3 people. We reached out to Kevic Tours and Travel because we read all positive review about this company, which might be small but that means we got a full attention. Bob, the tour consultant was responsive and accommodating to our (many) requests as we had some plans changed last minute. The proposals were transparent and included the price breakdown of everything. So this makes me feel like the team is very trustworthy. The team went above and beyond my expectation to help sort out my emergency issue with travel document prior to departing for Kenya. I was able to make this trip happen thanks to Kevic team.
In terms of designing our Safari package, we had very short time in Kenya (4 days) but we would like to visit Masai Mara and Amboseli, so we opted for a mid range safari package. Lake Naivasha was recommended and included as a stopover by Kevic, and it was truly fantastic, and probably underrated. We visited cresent island and stayed at the Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge which was absolutely remarkable and memorable. Make sure you have this in your itinerary, totally worth a visit. We were able to see 4 out of Big Five in Masai Mara even we only had one game drive in the afternoon. In Amboseli, we had 2 game drives both with a spectacular view of Kilimanjaro in the background.
As a suggestion, if you book a hotel in Nairobi through Kevic Tour and travel, they offer a free pick up from airport a day before. We found this out later after we booked the hotel by ourselves. So you may consider booking through them if you need a free airport pickup and drop off at hotel ;)
Our guide/ driver David is great. He is patient, accommodating and knowledgable. His driving was safe too. We were in good care.
Overall, we highly recommend Kevic Tour and Travel. We were treated well both prior to, during, and after the trip. They might not be a big your company but they surely are attentive. Everything went beyond our expectation. I in fact, reached out to a couple of tour operators to compare the communication, flexibility and pricing, Kevic tour and travel was an easy choice for me to pick as my top option. Very fair business. We highly recommend!

Client Satisfaction
Operators were keen to learn what things my group and I were interested in and went out of their way to see it happen. The driver was very kind, and communications in preparation for the trip were clear and timely.

Very good tour
Very good tour. We saw lots of animals. Our tour guide Rachim knows the place very well and was always in contact with other guides to find the best places. He did a great job. Since we had booked in very short notice, we needed some help getting the visa approved, which Alex helped us. I can recommend this tour.

A Wonderful Safari
We have just returned from a wonderful adventure thanks to Denis our guide/driver and Norah, our agent at Easy Travel. We were a group of six friends traveling together. The tour and lodging was chosen by us with Norah’s guidance. Denis made this an excellent trip from the moment he met us at the airport. His big smile and genuine personality made us feel at ease the moment we met. All through our trip, Denis was there to make sure we had an excellent adventure. He always asked for our input on what we wanted to see and he made it happen. We always felt safe while we were with Denis. We traveled from the airport to our hotel in Arusha on day one. He was happy to share his knowledge with us as we passed different points of interest. Our first stop on the safari was Lake Manyara. Denis did an excellent job searching for animals and getting the best spot to take pictures. We had a nice relaxing lunch in the park. We spent the night in the beautiful Serena Lake Manyara Lodge. Our next day we set out for the Serengeti. It was a long, bumpy ride, but Denis continued to share his knowledge of the area with us. We spent two nights in the Serengeti at the Tortilis Camp. During the day we did the game drives and found so many different animals. Ultimately, we found the big five and many more. After the Serengeti, we headed to the NgorongoroCrater. WOW – what a beautiful setting. We stayed the Serena Ngorongoro Lodge. An absolutely beautiful lodge and the kindest staff. Our room overlooked the crater and a perfect night to watch the full moon rise over the crater. Another successful game drive in the morning and then onto Tarangire National Park. It is a beautiful park where we saw lots of different animals and landscape. We stayed at the Sopa Lodge in Tarangire Park. The lodge is beautiful, rooms were very comfortable and service was excellent. Everyone on this trip was so kind and helpful. Thank you to Denis, Norah and staff for helping to plan and execute such a wonderful trip.

Perfect Experience - 4 Day Camping Tour
We booked the 4 day camping tour. The safari was perfect all around and exactly what we expected. The Serengeti and the Ngorogoro Crater in particular were simply incredibly beautiful! The camping sites within the parks were an absolute highlight, as was the chef's food and the experienced guide Rocky, who was able to answer every question, no matter how crazy. Thanks to his good eye and skill, we saw the Big 5 - and always had the best angle to take photos and look. Organizationally, everything went smoothly. The transfer from the airport and back was always on time and everything was included! We would definitely recommend the tour!
