Amazing safari experience in Selous National Park
Having done quite a bit of research on various Tanzanian safaris we opted to book with Uwanda Tours. We were not disappointed. Communication was good throughout and everything went exactly to plan. We had a 4 day, 3 night fly in/out safari from Zanzibar. This meant that we were on the first days game drive within 1 hour of landing at the airstrip. We saw an amazing array of animals under the guidance of 2 very experienced driver/guides. Both Adi and Ramadami did an excellent job of finding the animals and getting up close so we were able to view them in their natural habitat. We stayed at the Selous Kinga lodge which we can thoroughly recommend. We had the best food of our whole Zanzibar/Tanzania trip at the Lodge. Daniel, James and the rest of the lodge staff made us very welcome treating us with real kindness and friendship. The 4 day safari really was the highlight of our holiday.

Wonderfull safari experience with Brian!
We went for a 7-day safari including masai Mara, lake nakuru, hell's Gate and amboseli. Wildlife in these national Parks is so abundant and thriving, that our expectations were far exceeded.
The communication before and during the trip was very clear.
All accomodations were good with nice food and situated close to the national Parks.
Special shout-out to our tour guide Brian. He's a lovely guy, knows so much about the animals and proved to be a excellent driver on sometimes difficult roads. We always felt safe in his hands.
Definitely recommend this tour company!

Wonderful!
Our group of four had an amazing experience with Red Soil Safari and I can't recommend them enough. Our guide, Ashley, was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area, providing fascinating insights, but also displayed the utmost professionalism. Despite encountering car trouble, Ashley ensured our safari remained on schedule, showcasing admirable dedication and timely problem-solving.
Moreover, I must commend Noel, the booking coordinator, for his exceptional service. Noel made the entire booking process seamless, demonstrating excellent communication and customer care. Together, Ashley and Noel contributed to an unforgettable adventure. I look forward to booking with Red Soil Safari again in the future.

Once In A Lifetime Experience with LOMO Safari Great People Working For A Great Cause
I’ve had the pleasure to spend my time in Arusha with LOMO Tanzania Safari. In just 4 days they have brought me to sights that I’ve only seen on National Geographic, and the experience is still not over! They planned our trips to Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro NP, Lake Manyrara NP and Lake Eyasi with lunch accommodation, beverages and more. Coming from California, Tanzania is a long way from home but I truly feel like family with the LOMO crew. It’s one thing to go on a safari and witness the awes of the natural world but it’s another thing to do it with people that you feel comfortable and connected to. Without LOMO I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to see leopards, giraffes, lions, hyenas, hippos, rhinos, buffaloes, wildebeest, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, elephants, vulture, eagles, lizards and more birds that I could possibly count. This has truly been a once in a lifetime experience and I owe a lot of it to LOMO! Special shout-out to Erasto, Allen and Abby!!!

Unforgettable memories in our lifetime
First time travelling to Africa, Silver Spark Africa Safaris gave us confidence for the whole journey. On the first day we met, we were given a warm welcome. Everything was well organised and arranged, our adventure went very smooth.
We had booked a 11-day Kenya & Tanzania safari trip. We really appreciated Abongo, who always keep us updated for all the arrangement and our tour guide, David in Kenya & Waziri in Tanzania. They are very professional and knowledgeable about the wildlife in Africa. We were lucky to see the big five.
We had an incredible time with Silver Spark. After our safari trip, we went to South Africa. They were very caring about our journey and were willing to offer any assistance to us. We would recommend Silver Spark to everyone, who are looking for the best safari experience. Once again, thank you for bringing the unforgettable memories in our lifetime.

Experienced, local, run by a trustworthy professional.
In October 2023 three friends and I had the absolute pleasure of doing a 7 day safari in Botswana with Walking Sticks Travel & Tours. The great service began before we left Australia as we emailed to and fro asking questions and clarifying details about the trip and were provided with all the info we needed by the very helpful Kealeboga James. It was a mobile safari which meant we camped in 4 different areas. As such, we got to see different landscapes and animals through Okavango Delta, Khwai Community Area, Savute area and Chobe National Park. I arrived in Maun the day before our tour started but still I was greeted at the airport by Walking Sticks manager Phillimon who drove me to my hotel. He immediately struck me as a polite and respectful person and as we spent the week in his care he proved to also be professional, humble, flexible, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable with regard to flora, fauna and all things nature. He was supported by a terrific, hardworking team including Chef 'Prince' (a funny fellow), another expert guide, and multi-skilled back-up people who did everything from poling the Mokoro canoes to setting up tents and completing many tasks required to look after our needs so all the hard work was done for us. Our tour began with an enthralling Mokoro trip through the beautiful pristine wetlands where we were amongst hippos, crocs, elephants and birds. Mokoro's are the main form of transport and our camping spot was inaccessible by road and located in a shady nook near the water where we could view elephants and hear the sounds of nature (eg lion's roaring) day and night. Our tents with en-suite were adequate and we enjoyed the food and gin & tonic 'sundowner's whilst watching the gorgeous sunsets. Each day we spent hours game viewing either on foot or by jeep and Phillimon had a gift at being able to track and locate all manner of wildlife including lion, hyena, wild dogs, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, baboon, leopard and a variety of antelope and birds. We learnt so much as he imparted his knowledge of their behaviour and the landscape. All our campsites were different and in lovely settings. If you are a person who loves nature and living amongst it, can be up at sunrise every day and handle the challenges of dusty, bumpy roads and hot weather (October) then this tour is for you. It is one of the most memorable experiences in my 40 years of traveling. Thank you so much to Phillimon - your integrity is a true asset. Walking Sticks is a small, locally owned and run business and deserves the highest praise.
