Amazing Safari with Moriti Private Safaris
We just returned from an absolutely amazing and memorable Safari with Shaun at Moriti Private Safaris. We saw the Big 5 in both Kruger National Park and the Klaserie Private Reserve along with many, many other animals, including the very rare Sable Antelope and wild dogs at Kruger. On several safari drives, Shaun proved himself to be an incredible and thoroughly knowledgeable tracker. He was able to track and find a leopard and several lions to find us the perfect viewing angles while other safari guides struggled for a sighting. The accommodations at both Kruger Park Lodge and Nyeleti at Klaserie Private Reserve were fantastic. At the Kruger Lodge, we saw Hippo, Nyala, and Impala practically in our back yard. At the Klaserie Nyeleti guest house, we were surrounded by Klipspringers, Warthogs, Nyala, Impala, Kudu, and Baboons on the grounds. We also saw a Leopard they liked to call Princess stroll by us at night while we were sitting by the campfire. All the while, we were confident that we were safe both inside camp and while on safari because of Shaun’s incredible knowledge of the animals and their behavior. Shaun additionally arranged for a wonderful close-up with the elephants at the elephant encounter.
We also had an amazing personal chef throughout our stay. Chef Lindsay prepared outstanding gourmet meals along with safari lunch and breakfast packs so we could maximize our time in the bush with the animals. We also had an authentic and delicious South African Braai (barbecue) cooked by Shaun and Lindsay. At the Klaserie Private Reserve, we enjoyed the company of Shaun’s fantastic tracker, Vusi, who assisted in finding animals on the morning and evening safari drives. We spotted dozens of animals and even did a safari walk to see the Rhino up close.
Just about every time we suggested an animal we were interested in seeing, Shaun was able to track and find the animal on the safari drive. Though you cannot guarantee to see the animals that you want as they are living in the wild and on the roam for food, we were so fortunate with Shaun’s amazing skills and a bit of luck to see an amazing amount. I was amazed to learn that part of the tracking is watching and listening to the other animals around who are good tattletales of the hunters such as the leopard and lions by using specific sounds and by the way they will act in an unusual way and stare in the direction of the danger. The evening sundowners, where Shaun would take us to the perfect place to relax, have snacks, and watch the sunset in the South African bush, were also amazing.
I highly recommend to anyone considering a trip to South Africa to book a safari with Moriti Private Safaris. I travel extensively and have been to 6 of the 7 continents and can honestly say that this was most definitely the most amazing and memorable experiences of a lifetime.
superb tour operator with excellent management arrangements.
This was our first safari. It exceeded all our expectations. All travel arrangements between wildlife parks and reserves went exactly as planned. A most enjoyable close-up experience with with a whole range of wildlife. The staff were very friendly and eager to please. The guides were very knowledgeable about all the animals seen on the game drives. I have no hesitation recommending this to wildlife lovers both novices and experienced travelers. I cannot praise the company enough; good food, service and communications. Go and experience wonderful wildlife yourself.

Very nice experience !
We booked a four day safari in September 2019 based on the good review of this tour operator. Overall we had a very good experience, we could personalize our trip and price was still in our budget. We were picked up at the airport and drove back to Arusha were we met with David and our guide! We had a lost backage at the airport and david and his colleagues helped us to sort it out. After that we started our 4days safari! We really enjoyed the safari and the lodges were we stayed. Our guide was the best and could always answer all of our questions and explain us a lot about the animals! Our favorite experience was to spend the night in a tented lodge in Serengeti, it was magical! My partner mentionned that it would have liked a better car. Food provided was also very good and I could get a vegeterian option. I really recommend this tour operator and our guide for your next safari!!

great experience
I and 3 members of my family went on a 5 night safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. It was the most amazing experience, we heartly thank Incredible Africa Adventures for their hospitality. Octa, our tour operator, was always quick with responding to our questions and inquiries by email, right up to the last minute. Our adventure started from Moshi town and our driver Peter was fantastic for the entire duration of the safari experience. He was always punctual, professional, extremely knowledgeable about the parks and the animals, and always made sure to get us the best spots when viewing the wildlife. He did everything he could to help us find the animals we wanted to see and was always friendly and pleasant. We had a wonderful time, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were absolutely amazing and alot of animals. If one should be so lucky to visit Tanzania and do the northern circuit safaris, I would definitely recommend them to book with Incredible Africa Adventures as they are very friendly, amazing and knowledgeable.

Honeymoon of a lifetime!
I was planning every details of our wedding and I knew I would need help planning our honeymoon. So I reached out to safari partners and Chris R. was very happy to help. My husband and I were very clear with what we wanted out of this trip and Chris delivered. I asked about a million questions (Thanks Chris for your patience) & our honeymoon exceeded our expectations.. actually, we didn't know what to expect, but we were FLOORED with the details of the planning. We were well taken care of from start to finish. Even though there was a small hiccup, I didn't stress because it was handled well. I can't complain of a single thing just compliments and recommendations to all my friends and family! Definitely a trip of a lifetime that Chris put together for us! Because of the excellent service, we will definitely do this again! THANKS SO MUCH CHRIS AND SAFARI PARTNERS!

Very satisfied and had a wonderful day at the Arusha NP
I was looking for a provider for my day trip to the Arusha National Park. Via Instagram I joined Faces of Africa Adventures and booked my tour there. I was picked up at the property and taken directly to the National Park. There was help with all the formalities, which was very accommodating, since I do not speak Swahili. The safari vehicle we were traveling with was very clean, modern and well maintained, which is very important to me. The driver and guide had a safe driving style and was always careful in the park that the guest had the best view of the animals. And that's so important on a safari. I was able to capture the best subjects with the camera. Also, everything was explained to me well and understandable, so that I now have a lot of animal knowledge and can also share this. At lunchtime there was a packed lunch, which was plenty filled and neat enough. Also drinks were offered. So the afternoon on the Game Drive could be spent in good spirits. After the trip, I was also safely brought back to my accommodation. For me, price and performance were right. Even with the payment everything was correct. All in all, I had a great day at the Arusha NP with the safari experience I had hoped for. Thank you so much!

Great Kilimanjaro and safari experience
We as family of four members climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and visited Ngorongoro and Serengeti as our safari in Tanzania with Incredible Africa Adventures. Mwinyi was our incredible guide during Kilimanjaro trekking, who is very professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and overall a great guy! He led us through the Kilimanjaro trek, explained everything we saw along the way with uttermost professionalism. We felt safe and in good hands. The entire trip was very well organized. The food was good and in abundance, the equipment provided for the trek was well organized and in good shape. The safari experience was amazing, we had a great time with Peter as our guide and we saw many animals as we came across Lions, cheetahs, elephants and lots of animals. Overall trekking and Safari was incredible and we recommend Incredible Africa Adventures when you visit Tanzania.

Mark Hathaway of Gondwana planned an excellent and seamless Botswana tour for us
Mark’s progression of our trip from Victoria Falls to Kasane to the Okavango Delta was well planned.
To some extent our venues were dictated by availability, and maybe we would have enjoyed alternate venues as much, but it worked out marvelously well. In retrospect, I would not want to have visited Victoria Falls without staying at the Victoria Falls Hotel. I enjoyed staying in that Edwardian colonial hotel almost as much as the Falls. Likewise, in Kasane, one day in the Garden Lodge, and two days at Pangolin was perfect, but I would not have wanted the full three days at either. And then to be at Rra Dinare with only a few other guests (between 2 and 4 depending), basically alone in the concession, was wonderful, especially following the busier Chobe National Park.
The arrangements were virtually seamless. Flame of Africa was always prompt. All the transfers worked without a hitch or worry on our part and we were able to participate in both morning and afternoon events at each venue. We appreciated Rodney of Gondwana meeting us at Maun on our return. Our private (there were three of us) helicopter flight over Victoria Falls was great, as were our private game drives in the Okavango Delta, and our bush plane flight out of hte Delta.
Mark’s advance information was complete and very helpful. Even though the Visa process at the Victoria Falls airport is very poorly organized, the Flame of Africa driver waited for us without complaint. The Pangolin Lodge was a photographic safari for everybody. I wasn’t sure it would be my cup of tea, but it was great and improved the rest of the Botswana game experience. Despite all of the above, Gondwana's price was very reasonable in comparison to others.

Wonderful experience in Tarangire with a friendly and knowledgeable guide
I had a few extra days in Arusha after some work finished early and planned a last minute trip with Bestday Safari to Tarangire park. The entire experience as excellent and they took care of everything, including lunch. I'm so glad I went with Bestday - the guide, Goodluck, was perfect for the trip. Because I was going alone, I thought it might be awkward with just me and the driver, but Goodluck was friendly and warm and helped me practice my Swahili all day. In the park itself, Goodluck was informed about the animals and shared lots of interesting facts about them. He also was great at communicating with other drivers about different animals spottings. Because of this, I got to see a cheetah with its cub, and even see it take off after an impala, elephants just meters away from the truck, and two different groups of lions. Goodluck lived to his name and provided a memorable trip to Tarangire.
Overall, I thought the trip was well priced ($330 total) for a last minute individual trip, the truck was in great condition, and the guide was great.
