Immersive wildlife experience!
I really loved my trip to the Maasai Mara Reserve! We had a private van drive us around the reserve and we saw sooo many animals. It was an incredible experience - one I will never forget. Camping just off the reserve was also great - they provided dinner and served beer ! Then we got up early in the morning for a second drive and watching the sunrise was awesome. Our guide was also so friendly and made our trip so fun. He let us stop on the way to the reserve for snacks :)
Highly recommend a trip to the Mara!

Amazing and well-scheduled
I was really satisfied about my experience with Safari Specialist.
I did appreciate the customer care from the very beginning. They gave me useful advices, not only about the safari but also with my journey in Tanzania in general. They managed to rescheduled in a very short time the trip in order to meet needs. The driver was great. A very kind guy and the accommodations was very genuine as well as clean.
At the vey end, I felt very comfortable throughout the safari.

AMAZING! This was a trip of a lifetime-it my expectations!!
The whole experience was incredible- the communication was ongoing, if I had a question Sylvester was quick to respond. The Safari drives were great- we saw an abundance of animals ( more than I imagined we would) our “guy” Steve was very knowledgeable and always had our safety first. He had a keen instinct as to where the animals were. He became our forever friend! The accommodations were above and beyond- from the elegant tents to the quaint lodge. I can’t say enough of how wonderful Seven by Far is!! We can’t wait to go back!!

Taking the hassle and stress of vacation travel away with a personalised, efficient service.
From the time we arrived in South Africa the quality of the service was evident. We were equipped with all the relevant information beforehand. Our drivers Jihan and Derek were not only expert drivers but knowledgeable about current and historical events which they shared liberally. They did not rush you so you felt truly relaxed while on vacation even when mother nature didn't cooperate.
The accomodations were spectacular, especially Olivers Lodge and the Ezulwini Game lodges. The game drives lived up to expectations as we saw the Big 5 (even the elusive leopard) and a whole lot more thanks again to our skilled trackers. Even the 'after sales' service was excellent. My wife inadvertently left an electronic item at the River lodge and arrangements were made to have the item shipped to us. Honesty, integrity and efficiency...can't ask for more on a vacation trip.

Exceeded our exceptions beyond our wildest dreams.
Authentic Africa Adventure lives up to its name and we had a spectacular vacation because of them. Terri who traveled with us from the United States and accompanied us during our 14 day trip was wonderful. She was very attentive to our needs and made every effort to accommodate our requests. She hand-tailored our vacation so everyone in my family was able to have an enjoyable experience- from my 60yo+ parents to my 9yo son. We saw so much wildlife on our safari with our expert driver, Seve, at the wheel. We saw a heard of elephants playing, prides of lions, and every single of the Big 5! We enjoyed meeting both the Maasi and the Hadzabe tribe. They were so warm and Terri gave us a very authentic experience with them. The accommodations were wonderful and again hand-picked by Terri. You will not go wrong if you pick Authentic Africa Adventure for your safari vacation.

They were exceptionally good and helpful by tailoring the trip to my own requirements and interests.
I had already been to Zambia on five occasions. This time I wanted to see the Livingstone monument in Chitambo. They were able to make the arrangements and also suggest what else I might do in that area - a stay in Kasanka National Park. All my communications with the company were courteous and very efficient. They were able to make all the arrangements and I had a fantastic trip. The guide was exceptionally helpful and able to provide a useful and insightful commentary to my travels. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure that I was well looked after and had a good experience. The final part of my journey was to travel to meet friends in a rural community in Central Province. Again, nothing was too difficult and the guide saw me safely to my destination. The care and efficiency of the Tafika Travel Advisor staff were outstanding. Whether you want to visit one of the traditional tourist areas, or, as I did, create an individual itinerary within the wonderful country of Zambia, I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Tafika Travel Advisor - and I hope to use their services again in the future.

Gosheni was very knowledgeable,organized and extremely easy to work with.
Right from the beginning of our hunt for an operator we found Gosheni very responsive. Communications were timely, effective and correct. From the time we arrived at the Airport in Arusha we were warmly greeted by Gosheni staff, transferred to our hotel and then met with Pendo John who went over all details of our six day safari. The next morning we flew to Kogatendi on a very clean Cessna Caravan, met our outstanding guides Ombeni and Zachariah, loaded our bags and the adventure was on!
The two vehicles were cleaned each morning, the fridge was stocked daily and the vehicles were in fabulous shape.
We saw two crossings of Wildebeest on the Mara river, saw all of the big five plus many more that the guides always found and explained all details of their habitat.
Our family of 10 could not have been happier with our Safari experience with Gosheni! Thank you for a magnificent trip.

Very helpful and professional
The Safari was amazing and our driver Edward was excellent .
The only thing that we did like it was the food at the restaurants on the road. The rest was great . We had such a great experience and to be so close to the animals was awesome

Fantastic, unforgettable and great organization and execution of our family safari and Zanzibar trip
We were referred to Magda Vries by a mutual friend and we felt right at home the first time we met with her in the Netherlands. We wanted to have an unforgettable safari vacation with our 4 adult children as a memory of our 25th wedding anniversary. We discussed our goals, desires and wishlist with Magda and she prepare a magnificent safari with her team. They were quick to respond and patient listeners, adding god ideas.
So, we spend 5 days in the Masai area, travelled and camped in Sinya Conservation Area in little dome tents. We did not see a single tourist for the two days we spend there only accompanied by Sam, our driver and tour guide, a Masai guide named Luwasa, an excellent cook, a Masai warrior for security from animals and a Masai help. This secluded area close to the Kenyan border was the absolute highlight of our safari. We really got close to the local tribes and their way of life, their challenges and their joys. Besides that we saw a lot of wildlife and beautiful nature. Make sure to include the Masai Lodge in your itinerary; unknown and extremely authentic.
Sure we went to all the other big parks and wonderful places in Tanzania; Flash Safaris had them all covered. Sam, our tour guide for two weeks, was great fun and a very skilled driver as well as an experienced game spotter; imagine doing these things at the same time!
Also we went to Zanzibar through Flash. Again perfect prepared and on top of things. We had a booking issue with the diving organization, but Flash immediately fixed it! Excellent, Excellent.
We can Highly recommend to book your safari with Flash, especially if you want to see something different. Thank you Magda, Edward and Sam and the entire crew!
