Great
Did the one day golden monkey encounter in the volcanoes national park. Shever was the driver, friendly, great communication and stopped at certain places to take pictures on the return trip. Only issue was the vehicle was having issues on the way there.

Satisfied
It was a wonderful experience, a private tour with a guide and driver. I was very satisfied with being able to observe wild zebras, oryx, gazelles, ostriches, and birds I had never seen before.
The hotel was mediocre, so I'm giving it 4 stars.

Almost perfect custom trip in 4 countries
I took a solo 22-day trip with Geoffrey in December 2025 to Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. I was a bit afraid in the beginning to book with them because it is a small company; however, almost everything went perfectly from the booking process to the trip itself. I wanted a custom trip focusing on animals, hiking, and waterfalls, and I got exactly that! All costs were covered, as advertised, no hidden surprises anywhere, Geofrey even accommodated some last-minute changes to cater for my food issues. The itinerary went exactly as planned as well, except for unplannable things like bad weather or a flat tyre due to the crappy roads.
Most days are busy (except travel days), the local guides are great, and places like Bwindi, Rwenzori Mountains and Maasai Mara were way beyond my expectations! I was lucky to see the Big 5, tons of chimps and gorillas and discover excellent hiking, mostly in Uganda, where I definitely want to go back eventually. (Suggestion: spend 2 nights in Bwindi, 1 for gorillas and the other for trekking, it is worth it :) Also, due to his local knowledge, you can go to places that are otherwise not recommended or considered "safe". Just trust the local knowledge,
Most accommodations were excellent; two did not work out great this time, even though they were from reputable brands.
The only reason I did not give this trip 5 stars was the food. I am dairy and egg-intolerant, and getting food that I can eat was a hassle most of the time at most accommodations. If you have food allergies, I highly recommend going above mid-range (I did mid-range) or getting the right kind of food will be a constant problem.
I also highly recommend eating street food. I only had problems with food twice at accommodations due to them not catering properly for my intolerances; I never had that problem on the street, and usually, the food was of better quality than in some of the accommodations. (Especially Nyama Choma in Kenya)
Overall, I highly recommend travelling with Geofrey, but be mindful of your food requirements and choose the trip accordingly.

Highly recommended
We took a self drive trip to Maisha Sweetwaters and retained Lawrence of SnowyTop as a guide for a game drive. We highly recommend him, he is extremely professional and very knowledgeable and a great guide.

Friendly and considerate tour operator
Upfront and throughout our journey we were very well taken care of. After the booking, Sadick informed us about the tour itinerary both via email and WhatsApp which made it easy to ask questions and receive instant answers. Communication was very friendly and welcoming. The 7 day tour itself included a perfect combination of safari activities: 2 days Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation area, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP and Materuni waterfalls. Our first day in Arusha was nice to settle in but you could also start with the safari right away after arriving at Kilimanjaro airport. You could also fly out to your next destination in the evening of the last day, we stayed another two nights in Arusha, but there is not much more to see or do. Some information about the city upfront would have helped us to plan our trip more precisely. The sequence of our itenary changed slightly, so we joined one group for 4 days and 2 different groups on the last two days. It would have been nice to stay the whole trip with the same guide and group as it was always a little hassle for the operator to organise transition to different places and hotels. Also, keeping up with the planned schedule would have been nice and I would have liked to be informed about the schedule a little more as well as lunch times or opportunitiesto go to the bathrooms. There was a lot of waiting for passengers, drivers, lunch boxes etc. But I guess it all happens in Tanzanian time here and that's just part of the experience. Our accommodations were mid-ranged, simple, clean hotels and we spent two nights in a tent at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro which was very simple with shared outdoor bathrooms, sleeping mattresses and a beautiful night sky with tons of stars to see and buffalos on the camp site. It's definitely worth the experience. Food was great, although it's pretty much the same every day: egg, pancake, fruit, tea for breakfast and chicken, vegetable and rice or potatoe for lunch. We had water, coke and some beers to drink along the way.
All in all, we had an amazing experience with the Tanzanian nature and wildlife. Our guides did their best to show us a variety of animals, like cheetah, lions, zebras, elephants, a leopard, hords of wild beasts, buffalos, giraffes, rhinos in the distance, birds and many more. We are greatly impressed by the beauty of this country and we would recommend anyone to book a safari in Tanzania.

Very good experience
The organization of this experience was very good, although not perfect. Omar picked us up from our hotel and took us to the Dar es Salaam station, where we boarded the train to Morogoro. The only downside was having to wait one hour at the station, when I would have preferred to rest a little longer. In addition, we were not informed about the strict prohibition on bringing food and drinks onto the train, so we were forced to leave the groceries we had specifically bought for the trip at the station due to this lack of information. Had we known, we would have purchased what we needed inside the station instead.
First suggestion for Ernest: inform customers in advance about these restrictions.
Upon arrival in Morogoro, we were picked up by Evance very kind and helpful. He took us for breakfast and introduced us to our guide, Azaria, who then accompanied us on the hiking experience in the Uluguru Mountains. We walked about 5 km to reach the beautiful waterfalls. It is highly recommended to start early, both to avoid crowds at the waterfalls and to avoid extreme heat during the hike.
Second suggestion for Ernest: consider equipping the company, as others do, with motorcycles to transport those who are not willing or able to do the hike on foot.
Azaria is unquestionably number one—he was truly phenomenal!
After returning to Morogoro, we all had lunch together and were then taken to Mikumi, to Vamos Hotel. Unfortunately, the management there was very poor and I absolutely do not recommend it. The staff was not very helpful and did not smile much. Fortunately, the next day we were moved to Chambo Villa, where we were welcomed exactly as we had hoped—by very friendly, helpful, smiling, and extremely kind women.
Third suggestion for Ernest: since the two hotels belong to the same property and are very close to each other, it would have been greatly appreciated if someone had offered to help carry the luggage, especially considering the inconvenience of changing hotels during our short two-night stay in Mikumi.
The Maasai experience, accompanied by Ernest, was pleasant but nothing special. Honestly, it felt a bit staged, but we’ll leave it at that. Ernest is a very capable and curious young man; he is well prepared and does his job very well, I’m sure this review will help him out a lot to improve his company even more.
Finally, safari day arrived! Wake-up call at 6:00 a.m. and off to Mikumi National Park. Unfortunately, we were not able to see all the animals we had hoped for, partly due to bad weather. The jeep was already completely wet in the morning, which was unpleasant for those who don’t like sitting on wet seats and then feeling cold during the tour.
Fourth suggestion for Ernest: provide rain jackets or blankets for guests in situations like this.
Aside from these points, everything else was fantastic! I highly recommend this experience to everyone, and above all, I strongly recommend trusting Saga Expedition!
