Great!
Manyara Ranch(3 days)- Very good wildlife- Lots of elephants; giraffe; goose; jakal; lions; buffalo; Zebra; waterbucks, stripped yeana, etc. Good and comfortable camp; very friendly people. good food; good guide.
North Serengeti (Nomad Safari camp 3 days)- fantastic wildlife- lions (big prides); leopard; chitas; black Rhino; hypo; crocks; Eland; Yena; bat eared fox and of course Zebra, wildebeest and the cross of the Mara river (unforgettable). Big variety of scenarios, from big plains to more thick bush. Green landscapes and showers during the night, but nice temperatures and sunshine during the day. Facilities at Nomad Camp were excellent and we had a feeling of being in Africa. Food was very good, personal very friendly and professional and the guide very competent and diligent.
Ikuka- Ruaha (4 days). fantastic views; very good scenic beauty. Dry miombo forest (quite different from Serengeti). Lost of elephants, giraffes; Zebra;birds; buffalo; some waterbucks; some Elands; fantastic sunsets; but we were not lucky enough to see big cats (only one lion far away). The resort was very good. great room with fantastic views excellent food; friendly staff; very professional runned; our guide Habibo, was excellent: very competent; very diligent with a remarkable knowledge about the fauna and flora.
The cons: Tse Tse flies in Serengeti and Ruaha may be annoying. We got a few bites through our clothes. So far no disease (more than one month over).
The organization (Paul Tickner)- everything worked perfect and smooth: transfers; flights; camps; Hotel at Dar-Es-Salem.

He was friendly and told a lot about the country and the people.
The campsite was on an island, it was excellent: half-tent-half-house accomodation, campfire in the evening and some wine:) The "room" was also more than okay, better than expected (from an island without any electricity). Both David the operator and the staff were nice, I cannot say a wrong word to them. The reason why I rated to average comes from 2 reasons: according to the description "Travelling time from Lusaka to Camp takes approximately 4 hrs 30min to 5 hrs." while it was rather 6-7 hours (not counting the switch of the flat tire); so practically almost 1+1 days spent with just being on road. The other was that we almost did not see any wild animal (at the very end luckily we caught a leopard). Though I know it's rather an question of luck and for that the safari crew is not to blame, but still it was then bit of a disappointment.

The experiences and the services offered by the African Adventour overcame my expectations!
The experience of doing the safari was amazing and sometimes I just didn't believe my eyes! I did the sunset and the sunrise safari and I saw the big five (I was so lucky and It's easier to find the animais when you have a guide). Besides the animals, the safari provided the view of beautiful landscapes.
It is worth mentioning that the food offered by African Adventour is delicious! And people that work there are so friendly.
To finish, I did the Panorama Route (with different landscapes compared to safari, but really beautiful) with the guide David and he was so attentive and during my return to Johannesburg, he was explaining for me many interesting local things.

Memorable and awesome experience.
Abacombe tour company has a lot to offer in terms of a Tanzanian experience. My main goal in Tanzania was to summit Uhuru peak, Killimanjaro.
Abacombe made my goal a reality. His team of guides, porters and cooks were excellent and professional in dealing with us. They made us feel comfortable throughout the journey to the summit. The guides were always there to encourage and give support where and when it was needed. The food was delicious and we had enough to eat to keep our strength up. I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Leo, Rama, Emmanuel, Sherriff and the entire crew for being there and making this mission a success.
Thank you Abacombe tours for making this a memorable experience for me.

Extraordinary and excellent
We ordered the game drive from Germany two weeks before we made it. Very quick answer with different possibilies. Online payment without problems.
Clint came 6:15 am to our restcamp and 30 min later we saw the lions. We could stand in his car and had a better view than the other cars. He explained a lot of the animals and knew the german names of most of the animals we saw.
We enjoyed every minute of the game drive and when we came back to South Afrika we ask Kurt Safari to organize an other game drive for us.

Professional, friendly and efficient - BWS delivered a wonderful, unforgettable experience
From my first point of contact with BWS a felt reassured that l was in safe hands. They tailored an individual itinerary that met my list of requirements and needs.
The private Safari was excellent. The driver was most knowledgeable and friendly, giving us the best possible wildlife viewing experience. The accommodation was very good too. Locations were excellent. All lodges provided great comfort and good food.
We only wished we had organised more time than the week we had!
I have been on safaris in quite a few African countries, and this was certainly one of the best experiences.
I have nothing but praise and recommend BWS highly.

Thanks to Extraordinary Journeys our trip to India was the holiday of a lifetime.
Our heartfelt thanks to Elizabeth, Jamie, Emma, Rachel, Marcia and all the staff at Extraordinary Journeys. You gave us the gift of your time and personal attention to detail throughout the development of our exciting India itinerary. Our in-country hosts, Royal Expeditions, worked hand-in-glove with your office. Throughout our trip we were in constant contact through WhatsApp and email. At every step of the way our drivers, guides, and company representatives provided smooth transitions and fascinating local information. The accommodations were luxurious and many were unique, smaller Havelis with delicious food. Every activity in our contract was a highlight, exceeding expectations, from our exclusive elephant camp to our tour of the Taj Mahal, from our sunrise boat on the Ganges to our overnight boat in Kerala. There were surprises not included in our contract thanks to our local guides, such as the Lord Shiva and Parvati wedding festival or the sweet scented flower market, or the changing of the guard at the Presidential Palace. We were pleased to make small changes to our itinerary with our flexible local guides such as a walk through the narrow backstreets of the blue city of Jodhpur, or an hour under the trees listening to musicians in the pink city of Jaipur. We paid for treats not included in our clearly itemized contract such as an amazing Ayurvedic massage at the gorgeous Kuramakom resort.
We never worried about the small changes to our schedule that are often necessary on a journey such as this. We trusted that Extraordinary Journeys and Royal Expeditions would always inform us and make timely adjustments - and so they did. The thoughtful recommendations and open discussion with the Extraordinary Journeys staff made the difference throughout this extraordinary adventure.
We sent Jamie a copy of our detailed India travelogue and a link to our photos so she can share either with other clients who may wish to follow our Extraordinary Journey.

Perfect Safari!
We had a dream safari with Tanzanian Expeditions. The team is very professional and responsive, and we felt extremely safe and well taken care of the entire time we were in Tanzania. They were flexible with the itinerary, switching out one of the parks and taking me tanzanite shopping as requested on the first day.
Our guide, Ibrahim, was very knowledgeable and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. He frequently saw animals while driving that we could barely find with binoculars they provided and specific instructions. He was also good at predicting their movements and positioning the vehicle for our photos.
I got pricing for six day, mid-range safaris from about 15-20 companies and Tanzania Expeditions was very reasonably priced. The tour was good value for what we spent. The lodges & tented camps we stayed in were nicer than I expected from the photos online and the food was very good at all of them. We had no vehicle issues and it seemed well maintained.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience with this company and I would definitely book with them again if we’re lucky enough to come back to Tanzania! A huge thank you to Alex, Ibrahim, and the team for a really special trip.
