Awesome trip; comfortable in everyway imaginable.
My husband and I had a honeymoon trip schedueled by LUESA travel and tours company. Went to Zanzibar for 1 week. It was awesome, accomodation was lovely; food was tasty, tour trips we had included dolphin hunt, spice island, stone tour and local village evening walks were all super cool. We would love to travel again and we definately will contact LUESA travel and tours company for their guidance.

Avoid !
Did a Masai Mara Safari with Bencia end of July. It was supposed to be 3 days and we only spent 24 hours in the park, our guide pretending that the car broke down to force us to go to the Masai Village to force us to go to the Masai Village and to avoid paying the entry fee for another 24 hours.
We've had to complain and got 80$ back, so that we wouldn't put a bad review online. They pretended it was the guide's fault, and told us they gave him all the cash to pay the park fees. Although the park fees can't be payed by cash.
I met later a couple who told me the same thing happened to them, so it must be a regular thing.
Later on I met two Italian guys stuck in Serengeti campsite for two days without getting on any safari because they booked with Bencia and their driver never showed up!
Avoid!

Unforgettable
The safari was wonderful. Our guide, Ninah was very knowledgeable and did a great job navigating through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. It was an unforgettable experience overall.

safari rich in diversity of landscapes, terrestrial wildlife and underwater, very welcoming people
Fauna very rich and accessible, amazing landscapes "red and gray tsingy", pleasant weather even in the rainy season, different accommodation and food according to the choices, pay attention to hygiene for food and water.
Delicate local transport due to poor roads. Relatively good local guide. Tour very rich in emotions and sensations.

Unforgettable safari in Tanzania thanks to Makasa Tanzanian Safaris and our chauffeur Robert
We have just returned from an eight-day safari in Tanzania followed by a five-day beach holiday on Zanzibar Island organized by Makasa Tanzanian Safaris. Selma and Ngomi happened to be there in our first hotel and waved us goodbye as we set off on what would later appear to be an unforgettable safari. Our stay in the two different tented camps in the Serengeti being one of the highlights! Our chauffeur Robert was the best guide one could hope for: he was very friendly with a great sense of humour and had extensive knowledge and expertise in wildlife, nature in general and birdlife. Furthermore we could ask him anything including questions about life in Tanzania in general.
Not only did we see the Big Five, including the leopard, but also the annual great wildebeest migration. These experiences left an undelible impression on us. The safari also covered the famous Ngorongoro Crater and the National Park Lake Manyara: especially the view at the rim of the Crater is spectacular. After our safari in Tanzania we spent 5 days at the Z-Hotel in Zanzibar where we stayed in a beautiful villa at a 10-minute drive from the hotel. Very helpful and accommodating staff who did everything possible to make our stay a pleasant one. We could also enjoy the full use of hotel facilities: we recommend dining on the beach. It should come as no surprise that we will recommend Makasa Tanzanian Safaris and its chauffeur Robert, should you consider a safari in beautiful Tanzania!

Wonderful Namibia
We discovered Namibia with our family and it was beyond our expectations. The fauna and flora, the landscapes, are unbelievable. Friends told us about their experience with Blue Crane Safaris and we were not disappointed! The organisation of our trip was great thanks to Derek, very nice and mostly efficient. He answered quickly and accurately to all our questions, and was very flexible. Our guide-driver, Samy, enthusiastic, smiling and organized, taught us a lot about the animals, birds, trees, geology... Our vehicle 4x4 was very comfortable and spacious, with all our luggages in a small trailer! We highly recommend Blue Crane Safaris for a successful holiday to discover this fabulous country!

Quality and superb services
We booked for a seven days six nights safari with Claws of Africa. Our guide Fadhil picked us up at the hotel in Arusha and drove us to Tarangire for the first night. He was a great guide, showing us a lot and could tell us all kinds of details about the park and the animals we saw. Besides being a great guide, he was a wizard with smelling animals, views and and made sure we wouldn't starve...we saw a lot of giraffes, elephants, lions, all kind of deers, rhino's, hippo's, crocks and on the last morning three cheeta's coming back from a hunt. I can surely recommend Claws of Africa Flexible and reliable

Efficient, Professional & Friendly
We finished our tour this morning and have had a great time. We researched quite a few companies & found Experience Uganda to be the most efficient, informative and the best value. We were a bit nervous about sending payment to a company based outside the UK but Kevin was happy to speak with us on the phone and efficiently confirmed when payments were received etc. After listening to what we wanted he put together an excellent itinerary, willingly and quickly getting back to us with different options of e.g. lodges & activities etc. He worked within our budget with no pressure on trying to increase our costs....although we did end up choosing some fantastic accomodation!
We started and ended our stay at Karibu Guesthouse, which was excellent. Staff were great as was the food and accomodation. All airport transfers for were organised for us, as was everything else!
Of course, we went to see the gorillas, which were amazing but we also discovered a whole lot more. We would definitely use this company again.
