Very good safari operator! Professional, trustworthy, and informative!
Simon at Mwema Africa Safaris was very communicative and helped us work through the costs, schedules and payments. We made a number of specific requests and changes, and Simon was able to accommodate everything. It was very easy to arrange. Our guide, Goodluck, was excellent! Our plane was delayed for hours, and he was still waiting at the airport for us at midnight. He was an excellent guide and did a very good job at helping us find the best viewpoints in each of the national parks. Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short because of a work emergency. Simon and Goodluck helped us rearrange our itinerary at the very last second, and even arranged to secure us a partial refund. I recommend this tour operator wholeheartedly.

Wonderful Safari Experience
Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris is an amazing company that looked after our group wonderfully from start to finish!
William was very prompt in planning our tour, answering all the questions we raised and in the end came up with a great travel plan.
We found our guide George waiting for us at Kilimanjaro Airport. He's a friendly and knowledgeable travel guide. He made sure that we saw most of the wildlife we had anticipated like elephants, a cheetah climbed on our vehicle, lions, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, warthogs, a python and very many birds too.
The experience with the Bush tribes was surreal, they live in another time and survive just by hunting small animals and collecting fruits.
The weather in February is a bit hot but ideal for spotting animals near water points.
My favourite park was the Ngorongoro Crater. Its such a beautiful place that you need to experience in person as no words can describe it.
From the viewpoint then driving to the floor to enjoying lunch by the lake with flamingoes and elephants walking in the near distance is purely amazing.
I recommend Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris with no reservations as they went out of their way to ensure that we had a wonderful time.

I had a wonderful trip with Regional Tour
Our safari with Regional Tours in mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar was the trip of a lifetime. I found them through a friend referral after searching the without success as I was a bit skeptical on making such a huge purchase upfront without prior contact with the operator however from our first contact I was reassured with the fast response of our requests and by the time it came to wire the funds I had full confidence in the company.
From our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport everything went perfectly as planned. A guide in uniform was there to welcome us
Our safari was more than perfect, our very experienced Maasai guide is truly a walking encyclopedia on Tanzania, he knew all the trees, birds, animals and also taught us a lot about the Maasai Culture. We visited 4 parks ( Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Serengeti). Each was a different experience and special in its own way. We also spent time Maasai family in Ngorongoro and it was very nice to see how they live in harmony with nature.
I was happy that we got to see all the big 5 plus numerous of other animals.
Zanzibar is spectacular and very diverse- Old buildings in Stonetown city tour, spice farms, sumptuous meals and wonderful beaches.
I loved the way the whole tour was arranged, they helped us luxurious accommodations with good food, prompt transfers, a strong comfortable safari vehicle which is very important as some of the roads in the parks were very rough
Thanks you Regional Tours for a job well done.

A Memorable 14 day Kenya Safari & Diane Beach
My husband and I have travelled to many countries in the past 10 years but this trip was by far the best one ever. It exceeded all our expectations. It took a while for Daniel to prepare an itinerary that suited our needs and was affordable. Safari trips do not come cheap but compared to other companies Transtrek was value for money. I'd been to Africa before (Kruger, Botswana and Zambia) on safari but felt rushed and saw very little. Peter our guide/driver picked us up from Nairobi and our adventure began. Our safari's were in Ambolesi, Tsavo, Lake Navaisha and my favourite Maasai Mara. All our accommodation was luxurious clean & comfortable. As for the food.... the diet had to start as soon as I returned! If you love wildlife Kenya is definitely the place to go. We saw all the big five despite it being the low season. My highlights was in the Maasai where in addition to Zebras, elephants, giraffes and many breeds of antelope; we saw lions and cheetahs with their cubs, leopards chilling out on trees and the very allusive rhino. People were very friendly and though you get the usual pushy locals trying to sell you souvenirs, we never felt unsafe, a stern 'no thank you' and they left us alone. I felt very sad when we flew to Mombasa for our final phase but when we entered the grounds of Waterlovers beach resort, a small complex on Diani beach....WOW! Paradise. We ended our holiday snorkelling and chilling in a perfect retreat. Thank you Daniel for not disappointing and a special thank you to Peter who ensured we were happy everyday.
An unforgettable all round experience.

Excellent Customer Service
Margaret helped is book our tour and has been extremely helpful with advice beyond the tour so we have been really happy with Uhuru from the start. The tour itself was brilliant. Put guide, Abraham seemed to have a magnet for the animals and we were lucky enough to see all the big hits although the rhinos and leopard were a way away. It was excellent fun and we would all recommended the safari. We went budget and don't feel like we missed out safari-wise. We believe the price difference will primarily be seen in the accommodation. If you don't like camping and rustic facilities, budget may not be for you. However, there was plenty of food and it was decent.

Great Safari, Right into the Cradle of Life
We had a very good and impressive Safari in Tanzania with Benson.
This was my first Safari and I had really high expectations. Also because I see Africa as the roots of mankind, where life has started and thus a kind of home for all of us.
I must say that this Safari ticked all my boxes.
The awesomeness to see a multitude of African wildlife. Being marveled while beholding many wide landscapes, all looking different and giving you a feeling of time travel back to a point where all is just purity, roots and nature.
We went 5 days from Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro crater to Serengheti National Park. We slept in a good quality lodge and 2 tented camps that where total wowness with elephants walking, only 20 feet away, past your tent.
Food was good and nourishing, water came from bottles.
We saw the Big five and much more.. a river crossing ( wildebeest migration ) in action, some very good (action) photo opportunities, that were taken, and met the many friendly faces of the Tanzanian people.
Praise goes to Benson, for a driver/guide can break or make you Safari. We had Peter: kind, informative and the best .. always finding good spots and experiences.
I would definitely recommend Benson as an operator.

Safari Tour Rwanda and Tanzania
Many thanks to Sungura Safaris, especially Eliud William Mang'ana and our 2nd driver Eduard, who gave us a great holiday in 3 weeks Rwanda and Tanzania! You organized it great, everything went well and we saw a lot! Sungura Safaris gave us the opportunity to visit the rare mountain gorillas, an unforgettable experience! Afterwards we drove by jeep from Lake Victoria through the Serengeti, visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara and other parks. Elephants, lions, leopards, wildebeests and zebras, all seen at close range. Also the visit to the bushmen at Lake Eyasi was great!
The accommodation that Sungura Safaris organized for us was great! We felt very comfortable and will surely come back again.
