Friendly and personable
I did not get the opportunity to compare prices and a friend booked it with limitations on our part as the friend who booked it was there for his neotjer's wedding and there was limited time as we were restricted probably to a day tour at most and only there for a few days
Mr Simon is the person to speak with and they are friendly and easy to get on with.

Professional organisation with excellent driver
We booked a midprice safari end of December 2023: all was best, starting from the pick up at the airport, accommodation (lodge, tented camp, hotel) and for sure the safari itself. Our sympatic driver figured out as the best and motivatest animal spotter ever and could not stop searching until we saw even the last one of the African big five!
For sure, we will choose Bakari and his team for our next African Safari experience again!

Magical
Amazing experience that I definitely recommend to any person who never saw wild animals in their life space. It changes life and makes you feel small. The intelligence and instinct of the animals with all the different ways of doing is amazing. Last but not least I highly recommend Kilimanjaro Safari Adventure. The organisation is top and our guide Gaspar was just perfect.

Magical experience!
What an experience! From the moment we contacted you for a quote to the end of our stay, everything was perfect!
Everything was very well organised and explained. We arrived in the middle of the night, someone picked us up at the airport and bring us to a hotel where we could rest for a few hours before starting the safari. The manager even thought of doing the hotel check-in for us in advance, so that we could save time on arrival. Our guide was incredible! We had a private jeep for my mum and me. The guide explained everything about the animals we saw. He answered all our questions and has a lot of knowledge about Tanzania and the animals we can see on safari. He is a very respectful person with whom we had a great time! Thank you Gasper!

Amazing 18 day private tour
In October my wife and I went on an amazing 18 day private tour with Blue Crane Safaris and we couldn't be happier.
From the first contact when we were initially looking at small group tours through to the final booking of what became a bespoke private tour, Derek was always prompt in his responses and patient with my many questions.
Our tour covered both the south and north of Namibia over 18 days and we travelled 4,500km including Windhoek, Intu Afrika Kalahari Game Reserve, Fish River Canyon, Luderitz, Namib, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein, Palmwag, Etosha National Park and Otjiwarongo.
We enjoyed beautiful scenery, had some great experiences and saw spectacular wildlife. The accommodation was very good and included some amazing properties.
The safari vehicle was very clean, comfortable, spacious and well air-conditioned with sliding windows and a pop-top roof for 360 degree views and photos.
Our driver/guide Frank was exceptional - a skilled driver, with detailed knowledge of the country and its wildlife, a great sense of humour and a lovely guy.
Thank you Derek and Frank we had a great time.
We highly recommend Blue Crane Safaris.

Once in a lifetime Safari trip for our honeymoon
We were looking for a local agency to organize our Honeymoon Safari and Brilliant Adventures & Safaris was the perfect fit for us!
Lightness was our first contact with Brilliant and we greatly appreciated her kindness and responsiveness. She was of great advice to setup the perfect itinerary while always meeting our demands and expectations. Without her recommendations we probably would have missed Ndutu park which is where we have some of our best memories witnessing the Wildebeest migration or a leopard and her young cub feeding on a freshly hunted Zebra. She also made sure that in every lodge we had a special attention or dinner experience to celebrate our honeymoon.
The accommodations were even above our expectations, the tented lodge experience was really unique. We were always met with a warm welcome (Karibu), and all the tented lodges had great food. After a full day of game drive we loved our moments at the lodge - especially Serengeti Acacia Bliss.
The 4x4 vehicle was also a highlight of our safari. Very spacious and perfect for the game drive with the pop roof and large windows. This allowed for a comfortable 360 view during the drives. It also allowed us to have some great off-road moments tracking cheetahs and leopards without fearing of getting stuck anywhere.
Our driver, Eugen, was an excellent guide throughout the trip! He knows a lot about Tanzania's culture and landscape and of course everything about the National parks and wildlife. We really felt in good hands to experience the best game drives and we felt safe and comfortable with his driving (quite important when you spend around 5-6h per day driving). He was very attentive to our expectations for the trip and always did his best to match them. He was also of great advice to vary the game drive experience like when we suggested to head out early one morning to have breakfast in the bush while witnessing a large Elephant family crossing.
One of the only things we would have appreciated differently was the need to head to Brilliant's office in Arusha when we landed and before leaving, to sign some papers - We feel this small detour we did twice, that ended up taking a couple of hours, could have been avoided and the signing could have been done at the airport directly. In any case, it at least allowed us to discover Arusha's lively city.
Overall we highly recommend Brilliant Adventures and Safaris as your local agency to organize your trip, they really did an amazing job making our Honeymoon a trip we will never forget!
Thank you again Lightness and Eugen for these wonderful memories.

Wonderful experience
We booked a five-day safari with Msangai covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara in December 2023.
We had previously requested quotes from five companies offering similar routes. Msangai stood out against the other companies through its transparent conditions, communication, value for money, and professional makeup of the website and quote. The communication with the booking team was excellent and they customised the safari to our wishes and answered any questions we had ahead of the safari.
We were met by Erick on the morning of departure at the accommodation Msangai had arranged for us for the night before the start of the safari and then set out on our safari together with our driver, Emanuel. Emanuel was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure that we had a great experience, could see all the animals we wished to see, and had an overall stress-free time during the safari.
The accommodation booked for us was great in all aspects. Msangai also ensured that our food preferences were accommodated by the venues.
A huge thank you to the Msangai team that made sure that we had a wonderful experience on our first safari!

An amazing safari experience in Tanzania
Our family's safari experience with Serengeti Clarity was nothing short of extraordinary. With the aim of showcasing the wonders of safari and unspoiled nature to our kids, we carefully selected a tour operator. Frank Muta, from Serengeti Clarity, surpassed our expectations, crafting an incredible trip at short notice. Witnessing the great migration of zebras and wildebeests, cheetahs, lions and leopards, giraffes and buffalos was awe-inspiring. Our award-winning guide, Mgonja, added immense value with his profound knowledge and informative facts about all the animals and birds we encountered. He also told us about the country and its history, so it was a truly insightful trip.
Throughout the planning stage, Frank's responsiveness and willingness to address our questions and refine the program and accommodations were commendable. Our time in Tanzania was not just a trip; it was an amazing and unforgettable adventure. Serengeti Clarity truly delivered on the promise of a remarkable safari experience for our family.
