An amazing Safari!
I arranged my safari with Moorland Safaris on SafariBookings, before I arrived in Arusha. They picked me up from the airport and drove me to my hostel. We took care of business at the office the next day, and the day after I was on an amazing safari. The whole process was smooth and efficient. A well run company. On safari the driver and cook were fantastic. Very knowledgeable, with a relaxed friendly atmosphere within the group. The driver knew how to enable us to really experience & appreciate the 3 national parks (Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater), and we took some amazing photos! I can't wait to go on safari with these guys again. Top marks!

Well organisieren, great views with an exellent Guide.
Everything we saw was great. There were so many animals we wouldnt have seen and so many people we wouldnt have met, as well as facts we wouldnt have known without our Guide. Pembe was the best Guide we could have had. It was the best thing I have ever done.

Second visit to Tanzania ...
First visit was in July 2018, I went to Selous game reserve, this time (January 2019) I went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngrongoro national parks.
I just want to mention that I enjoyed the game reserve much more than the national parks, In game reserve you have the freedom to go off road and go nearby the animals or go around them for better view, while in NPs its a matter of luck to get nearby animal and in good views.
Of course the overall scenery of Ngrongoro is suburb and I enjoyed it, but still this can't beat the experience in game reserves.

Excellent tours, very punctual. Nancy is a great tour guide, and manages a lot of information
Very good service, good communication considering that we don't have connection everywhere. Our tour guide Nancy was very kind, and we have learned a lot from her explanations

Unforgettable experience with river crossing and very friendly, competent guide.
We started our 5 day journey with a tour around the beautiful lake Manyara in Lake Manyara National Park. Here we saw our first baboons, pumbas and many birds e.g. flamingos. We then headed towards the Ngorongoro Crater where we encountered bigger wildlife like elephants and we were very fortunate to see a black rhino in the distance. The first evening we stayed at the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge with a breathtaking view over the crater. A very nice accommodation with great dinner and breakfast. The next day we had a very long drive to the north of the Serengeti. Along the way our guide Peter told us a lot about the park and the animals living in the park. Here we saw our first zebras, wildebeest, antelope, giraffes and lions. After a long drive we arrived at Mbugani Migration Camp in the dark. We were welcomed by the friendly staff of the camp with cold beverage and warm meal. It was a great experience to sleep in big tents where you can hear the Serengeti come to life at night. The next morning we woke up with a herd of zebras and elephants in front of our tent. After a nice breakfast we went for a day trip to the river Mara near the Kenyan border. On the way to the river we saw enormous herds with thousands of wildebeest and zebras. After waiting for a few hours at the river we we lucky and a large herd started crossing the river. A humbling experience. On the way back to the camp we had another surprise, a leopardess with her cubs. The cubs playing in the long grass while the mother was eating a wildebeest she stashed in a tree. The fourth day we had another beautiful game drive heading to our last destination, the Serengeti Tortilles Camp, where we saw buffalos and cheetahs. And while we we having a nice cold beer in the lounge tent a hyena walked through the camp! All in all the safari was an unforgettable experience.

Exceeded all Expectations - Fantastic
Communication was prompt and extremely useful during the planning of our trip.
A personal trip to visit people prior to our safari was no problem for them to accommodate. Very flexible.
The Safari itself was just brilliant. John, our guide, driver and information expert was amazing. He accommodated all our extra requests with grace. e.g. can we visit Olduvia gorge, one more photo please, what information can you tell about??? No problem.
We saw animals so close up and in such numbers. He could spot animals we were not even aware of. Would recommend these people without hesitation if you want a memorable trip. Loved every minute.

Finally conquered Kilimanjaro
In January 2019 my girlfriend and I conquered Mount Kilimanjaro with Regional Tours. We did the 7 days Machame route so that we did outdoor camping all the way up the mountain. The climb was very scenic, with beautiful views of spectacular landscapes. Our crew, consisted of Alex the head guide with the cook and porters and they did everything for us to ensure that we got to the summit and back safely.They were always very cheerful and kept our moods up with their singing and dancing on the mountain.
I am really thankful to the head guide Alex, and your assistant guides. It was an amazing trip of our lifetime we highly recommend Regional Tours!

Superb experience all the way through
Moonstroll
We had a very positive experience with Moonstroll. Professional all the way through including communication, planning, guidance during drives and making us feel snug in the camp. We did the 6 night, 7 day trip from Maun through moremi, savuti and chobe by Kasane.
Monametsi is a really good guy and you get the feeling that he will be able to plan almost any safari experience in Botswana. He has a great network within the safari community and knows the best subcontractors to use.
We were greeted in the airport upon arrival the day before we began the safari by Monametsi and were treated to a very nice room in Maun to get ready for 6 days sleeping in a tent through moremi, savuti and chobe by Kasane.
The team consisted of O.K, the guide (owner of Heritage Conservation Safaris), Russel, the cook and Taj, the assistant. We could not have asked for better. The food was great, the equipment was obviously tried and tested because we were held dry through multiple heavy showers and O.K. Was a super guide.
A typical day would be getting up at 6:30, then have some breakfast before setting out on the first 3 hour game drive of the day. Getting back from that, you have a bit of time before lunch and then a siesta from 12 to 4 pm where the second 3 hour game drive begins. After that there is dinner at 7:30-8:00 pm and the bed time.
We went in the wet season of February and had some amazing sightings. Obviously all safaris are different and some animals are rare and shy, so take this as a confirmation that you’ll have amazing game viewing but not as a guarantee that you will see what we did: feeding wild dog, 3 separate leopard sightings, mating lions, 20 grazing hippo during daytime, a huge herd of buffalo, swimming elephants, etc etc. Amazing!
Many of the sightings, including 2 out 3 leopards, were 100% due to our guide tracking the animals, talking to other guides. O.K. Was great. He also managed to steer us past a threatening bull elephant in the middle of the road which he handled with overwhelming calm.
Moremi, savuti and chobe by Kasane all three offer something unique and amazing. The experience is very much dependent on season. We went in February during the wet season where the delta is at its lowest and vegetation at its thickest meaning that it is harder to spot wild life through the leaves and that it doesn’t gather at water holes. Even so, we felt like all three places offered fantastic displays of nature.
All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we fully recommend moonstroll to anybody up for a fantastic safari experience. It also feels good to be supporting local guides and operators instead of the bigger lodges owned by foreigners.

Lemosho Kilimanjaro track and Tanzania safari
In organization of Taste of Africa 3 of us had 8 days Lemosho trail with all three summiting Uhuru peak. All went perfectly - the organization, support team, food - all. We are specialy keen on our guides Bryson and Lucas as thanks to their knowledge we avoided all effects of altitude sicnes withouth ussing any medicine. Both tumbs up for the agency and their mountain team - perfect. It is worthy to mention the rediness of agency to answer to all customizations requested by us. Thanks again.
After mountain experience we took this safari with the same Taste of Africa agency and the result was the same. All “big 5” in our photo albums and many more animals, perfect custom made tour for 3 persons, great accomodation, wehicle and food. I have specialy to underline the skils of our guide/driver Mozes to find the animals and for good safari this is most important. Another perfect experience with Taste of Africa.
