Joining with nature.
I already have visited rural areas in China and Middle Eastern countries, so I was expecting something similar. But honestly I was surprised to see Tanzania as very clean and quite healthy country! The food was very fresh and tasty, roads were good and safe enough (I even took dala-dala), and people were incredibly friendly. Most of my guides were exceptional, I was very pleased with the service, although I took one of the cheapest tours. All of them spoke English very good, were knowledgeable and polite. The only thing I was really angry with was the absence of hot water in many places. I can tolerate it in safari camps, but not in hotels. I should know about this and book a bit more expensive ones.
I did 4-days safari and it was unspeakable adventure... I watch BBC and National Geographic movies about African nature since my childhood, so it was crazy to finally see everything by my eyes! Giant, but gentle elephants in Tarangire and ferocious lions, eating their prey at sunrise in Serengeti, were highlights of the journey! I took amazing photos as I dreamed. We also have seen plenty of beautiful birds, amazing family of cheetahs, cute gazelles, mongooses, monkeys... During lunch and evening time I had an opportunity to meet smaller creatures - lizards, butterflies and so on.
Of course it wasn't hakuna matata journey, but I expected this. In Serengeti we had to mount our tents under the rain, I've even got some cold. It was very cold during the night in Ngorongoro, but I was clever enough to get warm autumn jacket. Some fellow travelers wasn't so lucky, so I could suggest travel companies to get a bit warmer sleeping bags for a winter season. :) And the most incredible part was animals in the night - hyenas were wandering around our camp in Serengeti! and also warthogs and some smaller animals. It was crazy, but truly adventurous! It is certainly not for those, who like comfort. In Ngorongoro cute zebra was eating grass near my tent during the night, and I even could hear its breathing. So it was really unique experience! I feel I should return some day may be to see Oldonyo-Lengai volcano and the lake Natron, and more of Ngorongoro, because we didn't see rhinos close! Thanks to Tanzania for so incredible journey!

Just amazing!!!
We had a safari with sunup and it was really amazing, what a wildlife and our chauffeur Robin showed us the whole big 5! Chris, the person we had email contact with was also very pleasant, he always responded very quick at any our questions! We stayed at the luxury ashnil mara camp and it was was really good! We booked a private safari, we where with 3 persons and that was very nice. We loved our safari and we really recommend sunup adventure!

Experience of a lifetime.
A party of five people, I senior, parents, and two boys age 9 and 11.
Having travelled in Africa many times, I wanted my grandsons to experience this wonderful country.
This is the first time that I have used a organised tour company, previously preferring to make my own arrangements has I travelled though. After much research I choose Boundless Journeys, and boy oh boy, I absolutely made the right decision. From my very first communication with Annette to being dropped off at the airport by Enoch everything was superb. The attention to detail was amazing. We were kept informed at every stage of the details of our trip. Not only was Annette super efficient, the driver allocated to us was marvellous. Enoch was a lovely man, very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora, and a very safe driver. We saw all the big five. And Enoch was especially attentive to the two youngest who was very keen to learn from him. If you want the holiday of a lifetime, please book with this company, you will not be disappointed. Finally thank you, Annette & Enoch, for a brilliant time.

It was unforgettable.
First we went to Tarangire National Park and then Ngorongoro Crater. We loved it both but Ngorongoro was another world.

Absolutely Amazing Expereince
We came from Japan and went on an amazing Tanzania safari with Wild Secrets Safari. The amazing experience in Africa bowled us beyond our wildest imaginations of what the Tanzania government and people have done to maintain the pristine ecosystems in Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks for posterity.
Our tour was amazing, we had luxurious accommodations, amazing guides who took my family on the wild adventurous game dries where we had close encounters with wild animals in their natural habitats. We also had several experiences with the Maasai and Hadzabe tribes which was amazing!
Some of the experiences I will never forget are; a cheetah climbed on our Landcruiser and staying on the bonnet for more than 10 minutes!!! Or the lions in Ngorongoro pitching tent under our vehicle. Absolutely amazing!!!
I loved Tanzania because it is the best place place we have visited.
Will definitely return!!!

Outstanding safari experience!
We have just returned to Canada from an absolutely outstanding 7 day safari. Our party of 4 spent the first two days in Mikumi National Park (Camp Bastian Mikumi), followed by 3 days at Ruaha National Park (Ruaha Hilltop Lodge) and finally 2 days at Udzungwa Mountain National Park and Sanje Waterfalls (Udzungwa Forest Camp). We cannot say enough about the entire trip. Our guide Rama was delightful, always on time, very thoughtful and funny and always prepared to go the extra mile. We enjoyed a few extras including a wonderful guided tour of a local village in the Udzungwa area. Rama was truly a talent in finding all of the animals and looked after us very well. The accommodations were all very good as were the meals at each location. Gecko Adventures was very easy to deal with in getting the safari and arrangements organized and lived up to all of their commitments. We would recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania to everyone.

Amazing stay at Madikwe
Sally from ATC was very helpful from the word go. She offered us an unbeatable price at one of the top lodges in Madikwe game reserve. Excellent service and very attentive. I highly recommend African Travel Consultants.

All round perfect safari tour from start till very end.
We had a group of 6 people taking a 7 day safari tour from Masai Mara till Tsavo east and everything in between. Our first meeting with manager Issac was when he picked us up from airport, the man greeted us like old friends and considering the fact that we landed early morning he was a real sunshine, helpful and polite, he tried to answer even the stupidest questions we had.
Now to the best part, Safari tour, he Michael Jordan of safari drivers, best and most experienced driver I ever seen, his name is Anthony. We learned a lot about nature and animals, he made our experience 110% more memorable. If you ever thought of booking a safari trip, look no further than Best Memory Safaris and driver Anthony. Also I would recommend investing a little bit more and taking a Jeep for your journey and don’t forget to tip the driver since driving in there is no walk in the park.
All things considered Issac and his team delivered more than we paid for and we got Best memories for the rest of our lives.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
It was our second time visiting Kenya. We have booked a 7-day trip with Wildlife sun safaris. The trip was very good and we have experienced many unforgettable moments with the wild animals. The guide was very kind and nice and we had learned a lot from him, not only about the wild animals as well as life, culture in Kenya etc. The accommodation was good as well not only in the Safari but also in the beach. If any of our friends would want to visit Kenya, we will no doubt recommend wildlife sun safaris to them.
