Just Perfect
Besides the high progessionalism, Paul made us feel safe, he managed and organized the time very well so that we can trully enjoy this unique experience that safari is.
The guide that accompanied us together with Paul, Rahim is top driver during the game days. In the couple of days that we had game days he literally raced with us so that we can see the big 5, including the rhino which is the rarest.
Everything was at its best starting with accommodation, game days, Masai village. I strongly recommend Paul to all who wish to be part of a great adventure.
I look forward to seeing them soon in the next safari.
Very informative about the safari
Overall the tour was a lovely experience. All of the guides were well informed and shared plenty of knowledge to the tourists. The most pleasurable part of the trip was meeting members of the Maasai tribe.

Highly specialized and highly organized.
The trip was well arranged and organized from beginning to end. Upon arrival you receive an information folder with the safari schedule, a ticket for the flight to Zanzibar (if you booked a beach vacation there after the Safari) and a nice water bottle for each person. The lodges, tented camp and hotels were of very high quality. They came to the first lodge the day after we arrived and explained what was going to happen. We had a fantastic guide/driver he showed us everything we wanted to see and much more. Nothing was too much and he explained a lot about the animals and the country. I hope every tourist gets a guide like Dixon. The vacation was full board and we also got a very good lunch every day of the safari which we then ate with the guide in the most beautiful places. The drinks in the hotels were in a normal price range.
We had a top vacation that we will never forget in our lives. I recommend everyone to go to Tanzania with Tanzania Specialist.

Amazing, it was an experienced I will remember for the rest of my life.
Rustic Safari were a dream choice for us. We were immediately charm by their enthusiasm to share and they took care of us in that safari that was more than we expected.
Thanks again to our guides.

The tour operator is professional, thorough and well organized.
My lady and I took the tour called: "11-Days Kenya and Tanzania Wildlife Budget Safari" in November, 2023. The services provided were fantastic, especially for such a low-priced adventure. The price was far below anything else that I found in my on-line searching! We had so many animal encounters in both countries. The best three safaris in my opinion were: Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. In total, we photographed about 25 different wild animal species. Fiona, our contact at Tourist Line Safaris was very helpful in addressing any questions before and during our 11- day adventure. The accommodations were good considering the low cost options that we chose including tent camping in 3 locations in Tanzania. This is an excellent way to tour East Africa on a budget.
Professional and amicable
loved the tour. had a great guide and would highly recommend this trip. Rono worked his tail off and was a great guide. We would highly recommend him.
The lodging was outstanding

Trip of a Lifetime!
From the moment I started working with Diane at Discover Africa I knew I was going to have an amazing trip. She listened to what I wanted to do, what type accommodations I really wanted, and the feeling of security I needed to go on my first solo adventure. And everything was perfect just as she had promised!! I really wanted to do Glamping and I stayed at the most amazing place, MCH Tented Luxury Camp in Garonga. It was beyond my wildest dreams! Such beautiful accommodations, such luxury, and the staff was beyond amazing. The safaris were out of this world and we saw so many beautiful animals. I could not have asked for a better intro in a safari. My next camp was at Timbavati at Kambaku Lodge and it also had fabulous accommodations! The thatched roof pod was so luxurious and fit for a queen!! The guides and trackers were amazing and we found the big 5 quickly. We saw amazing things I never actually believed I would get to see. A mom lioness with her 3 cubs, a leopard with her kill, a pride of 23 lions, elephants galore including precious babies! I even was lucky enough to see a baby elephant nursing!!! As a labor and delivery nurse for 15 years little things like this truly make my day. We saw both black and white rhinos, numerous hippos, a cheetah, giraffes, wildebeests, hyenas, and even wild dogs! I could not have asked for anything more. I believe the reason my safaris turned out so good was the perfect planning by Diane from Discover Africa. I cannot recommend them enough. Truly an awesome company with employees who care. My next trip I wont hesitate to contact Diane and set her to work on another wonderful vacation.

Once in a lifetime experience!!
We had a 4 day safari trip through tarangire, serengeti and ngorogoro. We also visited a masaii village and olduvai gorge. The trip started perfectly with a visit to the arusha art gallery, a place I really wanted to see, and which our guide John helped us see! Then the trip went towards tarangire! An absolutely beautiful place! We saw, among other things, lions, zebras, elephants and giraffes, as well as much more! We came close to elephant herds, lions eating and zebras running together in herds! An absolutely incredible experience! After tarangire we slept at a lovely lodge near the ngorogoro entrance. The next day we headed towards the Serengeti, but stopped by the Masaii and Olduvai Museum. Incredible experience! In the Serengeti we got to see all kinds of animals up close! Our guide John was an expert at seeing animals from long distances! Which was absolutely incredible because he managed to find so many incredible animals and showed them to us! An unforgettable day! That day we slept in a lovely place, simply glamping! Early the next day, the game drive continued in the Serengeti. All I can say is wow! Our guide John was so incredibly good at finding animals and getting close to them! We saw lions, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, leopards, buffaloes, hyenas and many other incredible animals! We got to see almost all the big five in just 1 day! The day ended at a lovely lodge! On the last day we got up early to go to ngorogoro! There the hope was to see a rhinoceros! In no time our guide found a sleeping rhinoceros, wow! It was absolutely incredible! But he didn't just find one but two rhinos in a short time! An absolutely incredible experience to stand and look at the rhinoceros! Truly a once in a lifetime experience! Every single day we saw new animals that we hadn't seen the day before! John was an incredibly good guide who made our safari trip something we will never forget! Many thanks to Serengeti smiles who gave us such an incredibly good trip! Albert, who was our contact person, helped us very well to get the trip we wanted! Absolutely incredible company that really is good in their job!

Amazing Safari! We did a Safari with Paul and his staff, 5 days in Masai Mara. It was a wonderful experience, that gave us the opportunity to see all the Big Five thanks to the ability of our guide! Paul is very gentle and professional. I recommend it very much for a unique experience.
