An extremely professional friend
For us Africa Nziza Odysseys had a perfect balance in being very personal yet very professional.
Bernard made us feel comfortable the moment we met, which is very nice when you arrive in a new country. He arranged excellent accomodation, helped showing us Stone Town and gave us a lot of information about places to visit in Zanzibar as me and my girlfriend had planned to explore the island with just the two of us. He laid out a perfect travel itinerary so we could swim with dolphins, see beautifull caves and the best beaches and sunsets in Zanzibar. For me personally, Bernard showed me his clients are absolutely his top priority as he booked our flight back to Nairobi in advance with his own money. Our initial plan was to go back to Nairobi with the bus but later we decided a flight had our preferences. My creditcard didn't work and without any trouble he insist to help us out. Just beause our comfort was all that matters to him. I can recommend Africa Nziza Odysseys and I will contact them without a doubt for our next trip to East Africa.

our tour leader john was fantastic. great knowledge of the animals and very flexible
The tour of the major game parks was fabulous. We got to see every thing even though this is not guarantee. Some of the big surprises were the elephants- a herd of 100 crossed the road in front of us - eating as they walked. We saw the great migrations of wildebeest and zebras where they slowly follow the good food. We saw a lioness in a tree in a park where that is not common so very lucky there. Also saw leopards and cheetahs. The hippos were hilarious with about 40 of them in a pool that could only just hold them.

Amazing 8 Days with Michael of ToKenya Safaris
Our group of 6 just returned from 8 days touring some of the most amazing places in Kenya we could possibly imagine. We were fortunate Michael was assigned to us. He was the perfect guide for us. This guys has amazing eye sight and the confidence of someone who has done this for a while. He provided keen insight when we asked questions and understands the intimate behaviors of the animals we wanted to see. Examples of this happened on our very first day of game viewing. An elephant made movements near our vehicle. Michael stopped and told us the elephant was signaling his intent to cross the road. At the same time another vehicle in front kept blocking the elephant oblivious to the cues. Michael knowingly backed up very slowly. Sure enough the elephant crossed in front of us. The next we were watching a sleeping leopard. Nearby a female hyena was pacing about. Quietly Michael told us something was about to go down. The leopard smelling the hyena got up. While the other cars stayed still, Michael slowly made a u-turn allowing us to see up close this gorgeous leopard saunter across the road towards the hyena was. Only our vehicle got that close-up view of the leopard, all because of Michael’s amazing instincts.
We benefitted from Michael’s experience and sense of humor. Spending 8 days with him gave us deep respect for a true professional who loves his job. We highly recommend ToKenya Safari and ask for Michael if he is available."

We used them for a Kilimanjaro climb and a safari. They were very accessable for questions before our trip and our guides we're very knowledgeable about what to expect and any questions we had while on safari. I highly recommend them!

Excellent service from the initial enquiry and throughout the safari.
I had originally asked for the Mara Serena lodge but it was unavailable for the dates required. Equivalent accommodation was very quickly proposed and arranged. The driver Moses was very knowledgable and was also able to network with other drivers during the safari to find the best viewing opportunities. We were able to view different prides of lion including one pride feasting on a kill and fending off jackels. We also saw the 5 brothers cheetah family and had an excellent leopard sighting. Moses covered vast areas of the Mara to maximise our viewing opportunities . Some other companies' drivers went off the tracks to gain viewing but Moses respected the rules of the park and our viewings were excellent due to his positioning of the vehicle and knowledge of how the animals moved. This was particularly noticeable when we stopped a short distance from a herd of elephants but another vehicle went too close and was warned off by the matriarch. The accommodations were both very nice, particularly the Ashnil camp on the Mara river with its resident banded mongoose and bushbuck. from the lodge we could view hippos, crocs and waterbuck at various times in the river and on the opposite banking. I would travel with Arkman in the future.

Tanzania choice safaris was well organized friendly and comfortable
I was amazed at The number of details Tanzania choice safaris managed. We especially enjoyed getting to know all of our borders and guides. We feel like they have become friends for life. They took all factors in mind and made it possible for 21 of us to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. It was a massive effort and great fun. Everything they arranged was perfect for us. I highly recommend them.

Let down
When I had made my booking, I had specified that I needed a driver/guide who had knowledge of local birds.
The vehicle provided was a below average vehicle. Lots of noise and smell. The driver a good man but not so knowledgeable about birds. There was not even a reference book for birds. Even worse was he was on the phone for a long time due to which he was not engaging with me.
A trip to Africa is probably once a lifetime to many people. The tour operators needs to respect that and ensure proper service.

Fantastic experience with our guide George
We had safari with our guide George. His goal was to make sure that we saw as many different animals as possible. On our first drive we saw elephants, giraffes, many buffalos, zebras and also cheetahs. On the next day his focus was searching for rhinos, lions and leopards. Because of his efforts we got to see all the big five. George told us captivating stories about animals and their behavior. This made the game viewing that much more fun. We hope to come back next year.
