Amazing! Everything I hoped for and more...
I’ve just came back from a 7 days safari (8-16 february 2018) organized by Safari Multiways.
I discovered this small company in Safari Booking site. I asked for a safari itinerary and a quote.
Romeo, the owner, replied promptly to my email and sent me a tour itinerary at a lower price than most of the other companies that I had written to.
Romeo was very helpful, he gave me a lot of information & gave me pricing for a lot of options. We were on a tight budget & I wanted to get the most out of my trip. He also helped me plan in a way that had no "wasted"days.
The final tour was: Tarangeire (1 day), Lake Manyara (1 day) , Ndutu (south Serengeti) to see the migration of wildebeests (2 days), Central Serengeti (2 days), Ngoro Ngoro Crater (1 day).
I payed 30% of the total cost in advance by credit caed to confirm the hotel reservations and I payed the balance in cash at SM office when I arrived in Arusha.
During the safari our driver, Amos, was very professional and skilled in spotting wild animals in the savannah. He was friendly, answered all our questions and worked to meet all our requirements. He cleanned the jeep every morning before leaving the camp and starting a new game drive.
The Toyota Land Cuiser was in good condition.
I liked the Serengeti and Ndutu Heritage Tented camps in The Serengeti. They are really wonderful camps: high standard of services, nice and comfortable tents and delicious food. Really great accommodations.
What else can I add? This was our first safari in Tanzania and we enjoyed it very much thanks to the professionalism and reliability of Safari Multiways.
I highly recommend this company.

Amazing
I've been on a safari with lapped faced safari compagny. It was the best time I ever had. Have been to Manyara and Ngorro crater. The tourguide explained everything very well.. It was such an amazing trip to never forget. Thanks for everything and wish you the best tour safaris in the future!

Wonderful help, good service, and honest & friendly people
The company was very helpful in all stages of planning for the safari. They promptly answered all my questions. In the end I didn't use them for the safari itself but they assisted me in choosing a hotel in Zanzibar and transportation to & from the airport at very reasonable & fair prices. They offerred me other services but were not pushy about it which I greatly appreciated. The driver was on time and very willing to answer questions on the way. I mistakenly gave the wrong time for my return flight from Zanzibar. The office noticed the mistake & the driver successfully got us to the airport in time for us to board at the last minute. If they hadn't noticed my mistake we would have missed our flight. This is a great company, with good service, and honest & friendly people. I highly recommend them.

Predator and Prey!
Thanks Mark, Taga Safaris Africa connected us with Africa on Foot. We spent three nights with delightful drives and walks. Perhaps the best summary: Predator and Prey!
We saw leopards stalking impala, wild dogs chasing impala, hyenas feeding on impala and giraffe, and lions feeding on zebra. Gotta appreciate the life of predators and prey.
As to communication and service, when some of our flights were delayed, Mark kept everyone informed and our transfer from the airport worked out without a hitch, despite the flight delays. Much appreciated from our end.

Perfect safari
Coming to Africa and doing a safari has always been a dream for us, and since we are from New Zealand and it's such an effort to come here, we wanted to do it right. Upon reading the reviews for African Traits we decided to go with them, and were delighted with how everything turned out.
First of all, Godfrey's communication has been fantastic right from the start. This is our first time in Africa, and had an enormous amount of questions for Godfrey including transport, weather advice (since we came in the rainy season) and available safari packages that would work best for us - we ended up doing a 3 day Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire safari. Godfrey was very quick to respond, with incredibly detailed messages. We felt like all our questions were answered satisfactorily.
Secondly, our guide, Hassan, was excellent. He was very knowledgable, spoke great English (which was fantastic given our rather poor Swahili) and always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. He constantly communicated with other drivers to make sure we spotted all the animals we could - including doing some swift (but safe) driving through mazes of roads to make sure we spotted a leopard at the end of our final day, completing our Big 5!
Despite being the rainy season, the weather held up brilliantly, only starting to pour with rain at around 4pm - i.e. as soon as we had finished spotting animals each day! We initially planned to tent but Godfrey very generously upgraded us to a lodge for free because of the evening rain. The lodge was excellent too - great food, and even entertainment at dinner time.
The parks themselves were amazing - the personal favourite had to be Ngorongoro Crater, but Tarangire had spectacular scenery and animals too - and this was in March!
All in all, we highly recommend African Traits to anybody. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing safari
We went on a three day safari which Abraham organised to fit exactly what we wanted. We went to both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and had a good amount of time in each place. The driver was amazing and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. We were even lucky enough to see 2 leopards! The food was great and the tents, sleeping bags and mattresses provided were very comfy. I would definitely recommend this company for your safari.

Simply amazing!
Hi Lennox,
Safari was great! A very nice experience. We got to see the Big Five and we were actually surprised how many animals we got to see, like all the time we had animals in sight. The entire programme was very nice and the places we stayed was awesome. Very good stuff you put together!
Of cause I have to mention our driver Evans Ngigi. He was simply awesome. First of all he was very good at spotting animals. Second of all he drove very well. And third of all he was the nicest guy on earth taking his time to be social. A very big applause to him!

Seeing the wonders of Uganda with Ugandans
Our group of eight really enjoyed our 2 night 3 day safari to Murchison Falls National Park. Moses and Israel looked after us so well and are so knowledgeable. When planning the trip, via email, all our questions were answered and the competitive price delivered just what we wanted. What finally clinched it for Love Uganda was the fact that some of our money was going to support an orphanage. So many good things done by Ugandans !
