Fantastic experience for the fourth time
This was my four time to Masai Mara ,Kenya with GoWild and every experience was worth spending time with this group. The selection of resort's and the quality of food and service was top notch everytime. Looking forward to many more such experience in African continent in future.

Exceeded all our expectations - best guide ever!
From the moment we started planning our trip with Bright Safaris, everything went smoothly and we felt very comfortable. We’d never been to Africa before and asked them a lot of questions. We took a private tour- just the two of us. We loved being able to customize the trip to our interests.
We had Hamis as our guide. Not only is he a very gifted driver on difficult roads, his skills at having us at exactly the right place to see the animals was spectacular! We saw the “Big 5” and so much more. All the while, Hamis explained animal behavior to us and made the trip so fascinating. Plus we learned about the Maasai living in the area!
We really can’t say enough kind things about Hamis. He was so experienced and such a pleasure to be with. We would recommend Bright Safaris, and Hamis in particular, to anyone thinking of a trip to Tanzania.
And do consider tent camps over lodges. They’re so comfortable and truly give you more of the safari experience.

Mind-blowing safari with an exceptional guide!
Our safari was wonderful, it truly exceeded our expectations.
The wealth of animals, the changing landscape at each location, and the people of Kenya are at to be marveled at. We were fortunate to enjoy multiple views of lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, and everything else you could hope to see.
We had many questions when booking, and Henry at Natural World was very responsive and helpful. Anytime we had a concern or question, he provided answers.
Our guide, Anderson Tiga, was nothing short of incredible. Our success was due to his knowledge of each area and his skill at navigating the vehicle in difficult conditions. On top of that, he's a wonderful person to chat with and genuinely cares about you.
We have nothing but praise for Anderson and Natural World. Thank you!

Can't imagine a better safari experience!
From Brenda's expertise in planning an itinerary that met our desires, to a perfectly-executed trip packed with awesome highlights -- all delivered with family-style warmth -- Tanzania Choice Safaris (TCS) exceeded our expectations. Brenda's American background made it natural for her to understand what we would like even if it wasn't communicated overtly. On the safari, Kakasii's extensive knowledge and skills combined to provide a fantastic viewing experience. We also had some brief exposure to other TCS guides, and can say that this team's patience and kindness to others reflected the best values of human life. We enjoyed the flexibility of mixing bush camp accommodation with an occasional upscale lodge. Brenda and Kakasii met us at the airport and took us everywhere we had to go until delivery back at the airport for the next segment of our trip. This relieved all anxiety about travelling in various modes of transportation in a strange country, leading to a worry-free experience. Congratulations to Tanzania Choice Safari's -- you are the BEST!!

Great tour operator!
Both Megan who helped us during the decision process, and later Alice who helped us when Megan went on maternity leave, are excellent.
We highly recommend this organization to help build an itinerary, and then execute with their agents.
At every airport or hotel their representatives were there to receive us and look after us.
Every tour was thoughtfully arranged to our needs and desires.
This was the best vacation ever!

Amazing animal interactions
Went beyond my expectations! Saw so many animals, up close! It was really cool to be able to camp in the parks too! We had buffalo, zebra and elephants all come up close to our tent! Amazing guides, and amazing food.

Perfect experience
My husband and I used Natural World to book our safari in the Maasai Mara in August. Our driver George picked us up promptly in Nairobi and drove us to the Maasai Mara river camp. George was a wonderful guide and really made our trip special. We saw all of the big five in our 4 day safari and had a great time. George really tailored the safari to what we wanted to see do and see and he was a funny and knowledgeable guide.

My dream safari better then I had imagined!
I have wanted to do a safari for as long as I can remember and was referred by a friend to Armadillo Overland. The 4 day camping safari to Kruger exceeded all of my expectations! I was a solo traveler and had great company with Richard & Morris who were my guides. Both whom made me feel extremely comfortable and shared their thorough knowledge of Kruger, the wildlife, SA culture and everything in between. Richard being a former chef made awesome meals. Morris with a knowledge of the land & wildlife made sure I got up close and personal with all of the Big 5, getting closer then I had anticipated! They were also flexible and customized our route so that I got the most out of my limited time. I would highly recommend Armadillo and look forward to returning with my family in toe!

Dream safari was everything we wanted and more.
Meru slopes were amazingly efficient with excellent communication always responding right away. Nothing was too much trouble regarding the organisation, pick ups, drop offs etc.
The safari was fantastic. We paid extra to have a jeep for the two of us and our guide was brilliant. Again nothing was too much trouble. Our 5 day itinerary was just that, not cut short in any way like some operators. This holiday was a dream come true for us and we were so lucky to see everything. Our guide was really knowledgeable about the landscape, animals, the local population and he really added to our experience. Thank you so much to Geofrey, Isaac and Meru Slopes.
