Safari of a lifetime from exceptional, trustworthy Africa McFlash
We selected Africa Mc Flash tours as we saw them advertised on the Guardian. We were looking for a long safari, for as little money as possible, with a trustworthy company we could rely on actually meeting us in Nairobi! We thoroughly recommend Africa MC Flash if these are attributes you're looking for.
Peter put us on an 8 day safari of Masai Mara, Nukuru and Naivasha lakes and Amboseli national park. We found this the perfect balance of safari types and locations and we didn't want it to end.
The accommodation provided for an EXCEPTIONALLY Reasonable price far surpassed our expectations, the Oldapoi camp, and safari lodges we stayed in through our trip were beautiful and luxurious.
Peter is a completely genuine, exceptionally helpful and reliable man, and we are extremely grateful to him and our guide Eddie for the lengths they went to to make our trip exceptional. We got engaged on the trip and Eddie helped me find the perfect opportunity to ask! Both guys made the trip very special.
Peter and our guide Eddie were such lovely chaps, we couldn't have asked to meet two nicer people and we hope we get to see them again one day!

Massive visit
My vacation encounter with the best safari group will always remain. I spent a couple of days in remote areas of national parks and game reservvs. Kidepo and Murchison parks are the most adventurous places. Uganda is rich with natural resources Nd wildlife. Elephants, Rhinos and mountain gorillas are amazing. People's choice tour guides took us to different parks. I appreciate your efforts. You made my family happy for the two weeks of services to us. I must say that I will arrange to come again. I will also encourage encourage other friends to come and experience the same. My next destination will be mainly in South Western part of Uganda especially Bwindi forest and lake bunyonyo in Kabale.

Safari and more
I booked a safari with Jackpot Safaris (Andrew) because it was recommend to me. It was a good choice. The organisation was really good and reliable. Andrew is a very nice guys and helps out with every question and request we had.
The safari itself was beautiful. We saw nearly all of the animals (the rhinos were hiding) and had a great time with our guide.
The tented safari is truly an adventure (the campsites are not fenced and there are no guards), but also it brings the extra excitement to the experience.
I would definitely recommend Jackpot Safaris to all of those who are looking for a one in a lifetime experience.

It was amazing our agent (Rose ) was really helpful and patient...
Was nice and our tour guide knew a lot of things so he kept on explaining and answering our questions and also I loves the part where by he would drive so fast just so that we could see certain animals.

Simply Class! These guys know 1st Class service
It was my 1st safari and genuinely had no idea what to expect when we booked one of the cheaper alternatives which claimed to provide ‘budget’ service. We honestly would have paid double the amount it was that impressive from start to finish. Right from picking us up from our hostel to dropping us off at the next, these guys were simply awesome! Steve was a truly 1st class ranger and made our group so comfortable, making the experience so special! Matthew’s cooking was amazing, well thought out and incredibly fulfilling! Genuinely cant fault the service of these guys at all and if we’re ever back in Tanzania, we’re coming back!

Amazing safari - just perfect
After some online research we found Mali Kale Africa Safari's as a tour operator for our 7 day Tanzania-Northern-Circuit-Safari. We got in contact with Richard (the owner of the tour company). He replied very fast to our first email and answered all our questions... and we had a lot of questions in the upcoming months. He always gave us a very good feeling and we had confidence in him very fast. So we decided to book our tour with Mali Kale Africa Safari's.
I was the best decision we made. The safari (Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Eyasi) and the cultural tourism (visit of maasai, hadzabe and datoga) resulted to be perfectly organized by Richard. He was always prepared (permits, lodges, etc.), so we did not loose time to wait for permits at the entrance gates of the national parks.
During our game drives Richard always did his very best to get the most amazing animal encounters for us. It was not just good or very good, it was even better, because Richard is a person who goes always an extra mile for you. Therefore we had so many special moments and we had a time which was even better than we hoped or expected before.
What we can also mention: Every morning when we entered the jeep it was cleaned from inside and outside. When Richard dropped us around 6/6.30pm at our lodge he managed to clean the car and the windows and to refill the fridge with bottled water. So everything was always clean and ready to go in the morning.
Resumee: We can highly recommend Richard as a tour guide. He has the experience of more than 20 years as a guide. So he has a large knowledge about the animals and the sites (where to find them) and knows so many people around in the biz. If you want to have a very good organized safari, then go with Richard/Mali Kale Africa Safari's. It's such an amazing experience. Even after being back at home we are still flashed about our Tanzania holidays.

Perfect budget-safari
For a budget traveller, this is a great option!
Communication is easy, and everything is smooth.
We got a pick up in the airport to our hotel, and then another pick up the next morning to the safari-bus and then we got a ride to our airBnB in Nairobi when the safari ended.
All went according to plan.
There's a ration of water (1 bottle per person per day), but you can buy beverage at lunch and at the tent camp.
It's a good idea to bring snacks. The food provided is mostly local and delicious.
The safari drives were really amazing. And Stanley, our guide, made a great effort in finding all the cool animals.
Don't expect beautiful and luxurious accommodations. It's a cheap tour for people on a budget.
But expect a FIVE STAR adventure with amazing safari drives in the park and great service from the people!

Very good experience
Not always easy to choose an agency for a safari .. Vervet was perfect from the reservation, to the change of last minute plan. Our expectations in terms of accommodation have been respected. And we always felt pampered. I recommend. You will take full eyes.

Had an amazing time - spotted tons of animals!
This trip was incredible. We booked a 4 day private safari for myself and 3 friends. The guides were awesome, friendly, and very accomodating. They also possess eagle eyes. There is no way we could have spotted even a fraction of the animals if not for the guides. The enclosed van was also nice, not as big open viewing areas like the open air trucks, but far more comfortable.
I'd highly recommend booking with Wild Planet!

Perfectly organised!
I was part of a big group which Lifetime Safari planned a trip for and they absolutely nailed it.
Also superaccomodating with everything and managed to please everyone in a group of 55 people.
I mean, that is a very hard thing to do but everything went smooth - which means that they planned everything to the tee.
Everyone working at Lifetime Safaris are also incredibly nice and genuine.
If I ever go back to Tanzania I will for sure use Lifetime again!
