An outstanding operator
I had the pleasure of a 5 day safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater with Galloping Safaris. While I usually do not write reviews, the extraordinary experience with this company has prompted me to do so.
The reality is that most of the safari operators are similar-we go to the same places, see the same animals, sleep in the same hotels and eat the same food. It is when things go wrong that a mark of a true quality operator can be seen.On my last day, we were supposed to drive from Ngorongoro to Kilimanjaro Airport for my flight home later the same day. On our way we were stopped at a roadblock to find out that the previous night the rains have washed away the only bridge linking the two places. This left about 50-100 safari vehicles stranded on the wrong side of the river with so way to cross.
My driver contacted Mr Tenga, who is the manager of Galloping Safaris, over the phone, and within an hour he had arranged, at his own cost, to book me a seat on one of those tiny planes that fly from a small airport at Lake Manyara to Arusha and thus cross the river by air.At the airport, as I had expected, there were already about 50 people scrambling for a flight out, yet those planes only seat about 10 people. This included customers of some well known very expensive safari outfitters. Yet, the plane lands, the pilot approaches the terminal with a passenger manifest, and the first words out of his mouth is "Galloping Safaris". I was the first person on that plane and safely made it on time for my flight out at Kilimanjaro Airport. Frankly, I was amazed.
This experience, where Mr Tenga went truly above and beyond when everything was falling to pieces, in my books earns this safari operator the highest possible recommendation.
My driver/guide Laurence was also terrific-friendly, outgoing, very good at animal spotting. He ensured that I got to see every animal that I wanted to on this trip and it was a pleasure t spend those 5 days with him.

Amazing Honeymoon!!
We had searched for a reliable company that would organize for us an affordable honey moon, we found Incredible Kenya Adventures, through a friend, from the first email with Francis to the last, he was helpful and very patient with our many questions, the hotel which we were booked in Dubai Ascot hotel was awesome. I highly recommend Incredible Kenya Adventures to anyone.

Review about Udzungwa Mountains National Park by Ivaylo Zafirov
Udzungwa Mountain is a fantastic equatorial forest place with beautiful scenery and endemic species. However, the terrain is rather steep and one has to be at least moderately fit to climb to the top of the waterfalls.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Ivaylo Zafirov
Mikumi is a good destination for short safari. Two days are enough to spot most of the emblematic savanna/miombo species. There are a lot of different bird species and the opportunity for photography is rather good.

Breathtaking nature & wildlife
This was my first ever wildlife experience in Botswana and can proudly say I wasn't let down. The morning game drive went well, backed by the clear skies and a glorious sunset. We encountered a few wild animals like Elephants, Lions, Monkeys, Kudus, Kobs, Impalas, Zebras, and so much more. My mission was to take as many photos as I can, and these are giving me remarkable flashbacks whenever I look at them... I stayed at Chobe Marina Lodge near the waterfront thus giving me fantastic views of the mighty Chobe River and the Namibian territory across. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and approachable. I felt at ease and explored without limits for the four days I was in Kasane the gateway to Chobe National Park.

Excellent organisation and very good destination
I went on a 3 day safari to Mikumi and Udzungwa National Parks with couple of friend in January 2018. The two parks are not the most famous but are interesting, especially Udzungwa Mountain with its equatorial forests and endemic species. Mikumi NP hosts most of the typical savanna species and we observed most of them. As an ecologist I was interested in all species and especially birds so I was delighted to observed and photograph a lot of them. The logistics of the safari were excellent. We stayed at Bastian lodge at the edge of Mikumi NP. Our driver from and to Dar es Salaam was very careful on the road and his driving was very safe.
I can strongly recommend Hello Tanzania and if going again to Tanzania for sure will use their services again.
