Well organised and very friendly
The Tour was well organised and our guide Kevin very firneldy and funny. He Drive very carefully and we always felt safe while driving on the sometimes uneven, wet and slippery streets.
At the end of November we were able to see many animals e.g. buffaloes, antilopes, wildbeasts, cheetahs, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyaena, zebra, lions and some more)
The visit to the Mara river with picnic lunch was also a great experience.
The tent was really big and everything was super clean - even if it was a bit older. It was definately worth the experience, if you hear the hyeanas scream in the night.
All in all a very nice tour. We would of course recommend it - Best to do it with the jeep.

Best value!
Tubale Safari was the perfect group for my first Safari Experience. Annette was helpful during the whole process, patiently answering all my questions. While the prices are very similar to other groups, they definitely has the most value, even on the choices of accomodations was much better than the other groups I checked that offered the same price point. And the Experience itself was amazing, thanks to Shaufik, and we were able to see the big 5 in 1 1/2 days! Challenges along the way are inevitable, but it was nothing because the atmosphere was always positive! Definitely recommeding this tour group!

Knowledgeable, Understanding, Reliable, Someone with whom we would happily work with again
Back in June 2023, we had no idea about how a Safari trip should look like and the only thing that we knew for certain that both of us have back issues and hence, can't travel between places by road. None of the group travel operators would accommodate this customization. While looking for a boutique tour operator, I stumbled upon 'Chalo Africa' and Smita's phone number from the internet. I tried my luck, made the call and rest, as they say, is an extremely satisfying experience. She talked with us over the phone, re-assured us that the travel is not strenuous and the hotels that she would chose would ensure that we get the physical comforts as we needed. I confirmed the package but honestly, we tuned our expectations such that we don't feel disappointed.
Now, after the trip, I would like to correct myself and admit that all the hotels that Smita and her team arranged for us just exceeded our expectation in terms of hospitality, care and most importantly, the warmth of the people, be it the manager or the guide or even the askaris would took us to-from the tents. We visited Amboseli (Elarai Camp), Ol Pejeta (Asilia Bush Camp), Mara (Asilia Rekero) and Naboisho (Asilia Camp), in that order. Each one of them were unique in their own ways. In Amboseli we were looking at the Kilimanjaro peak while lying on the bed, in Ol Pejeta we visited the Rhino Sanctuary, in Mara the Hippo hustled beside the tent at night and pooped everywhere and when we thought, we have experienced it all, the camp at Naboisho, just overwhelmed us with it's sheer luxury (not even counting the lions those roam around in that conservancy like street dogs in Bangalore. When you guide says "do you want to see lions?", it is better to challenge him by saying "no we want to drive for an hour without seeing one"). Overall, from the moment the Asilia person picked up from our hotel at Nairobi to the moment they dropped us back there (9 days later) we could totally focus on the nature only and not worry a bit about the logistics including the flights and all. It is a bit on the costlier side, but worth it.
I would like to conclude by saying that this trip has helped 2 people who had no idea of a safari and in not at the best of their health, to overcome their inhibition and fear and we are grateful to the whole of Chalo Africa team for that. Smita said that "you both will fall in love with Africa when you complete this trip" and we can shamelessly agree to that now. We are going back soon.

PERFECT EXPERIENCE
I went with my girlfriend and we booked a 5-day safari. Luckily for us, our guide was Alex. He managed to explain everything we asked, from plants to animals and curiosities about the country. Always willing to help and available for whatever we needed. It was without a doubt a unique and worthwhile adventure. We were lucky enough to come across 5 other great people. As Alex said, we were a family and he was Papa Alex

Such an amazing experience!
For our first trip in Tanzania we have selected AT - The Adventure Travelling to arrange a comprehensive tour of the parks in northern Tanzania. our requirements was not just to se the wild life but also to meet local people.
The wild life was just amazing and our guide Elinasi was just impressive to find the way to meet the animals to the closest. He has great knowledge of them including birds and smaller animals.
Our experience became even more unforgettable when we met the local communities of bushmen or Tchagas.
Such a magnificent journey in VIP conditions. Thank you The Adventure Travelling!

The Experience
Let's get to the facts!
Want an experience? You have hot it.
Leonard is the person that organized everything, at the end we have to thanks for the fact it was a little Sick but did not cancel nothing, we make and delivery.
The driving from DAR to Mikumi is far, and the driving is not the same the European know, for me was ok, maybe for same People scared a little, but for me is a part of the experience.
The car is comfortable, have much room, have pillows, is clean, it's good for this long distance.
The driver and the Safari, well at this point we meet the driver Ladislaus, and what a person! Calm, intelligent, and hard working, he make everything to give you a nice experience, and for my opinion this guy as perfect, impossible to do better.
Dinner at the hotel, sleep and breakfast, this is another part of the experience, the food is very good and the room was nice inside a nice "nature resort" the room is a small house no windows but protected for the bugs, i put a carpet at the door because is have a space form the floor to make it more secure.
You'll listening everything, the sound of the wild, the night animals there.
But again you are slipping in a safari you want wild? This is the best wild / comfortable combo they can get.
5 Star because it was a nice overall.

An incredible gorilla trekking experience that I will never forget thanks to Musana Tours and Travel
The planning of the tour couldn't have been better tailored to my short period of just 4 days. This short period of time was perfectly organized and went exactly the same way. Starting with the pickup at the airport, all transfers, lodges and of course the gorilla trekking itself.
Communication was absolutely smooth and uncomplicated and an individual request on my part was also taken into account, which was definitely not part of the booked tour as standard (visiting the city of Kigali, before heading back to the airport).
All of this was available at the lowest price among all the offers I received.
I would like to briefly mention which lodges I stayed in, namely “Bweza Gorilla Lodge” and “Lake Bunyonyie Eco Resort”. These lodges were simply fabulous! With super nice staff, delicious food and fantastic rooms.
And also, a big shout out to Matiya, he got me everywhere safely and quickly and was a great companion.
All in all, I can 100% recommend Musana Tours And Travel! I always felt like I was in great hands, Richard and the entire team were not only very polite and courteous, you could chat with them about anything and have a lot of fun.
I would like to thank you for this wonderful experience and for making my short trip unforgettable.
Both Thumbs up!
