Great vacation.
We had a great experience with Makasa, the communication with Fien was always good and fast. The accommodations are really nice with nice people. Maramboi and Kenzan Ndutu where beautiful and we have a nice view from or tent and lodge. A safari in Tanzania is absolutely worth the money. We saw everything and more what we wanted to see.
Our guide, King, was magnificent!! When you're spending 10 days with a total stranger it can really make or break the vacation. King told us a lot about the fauna, animals and the culture of Tanzania. It was very nice to travel with him and we had a great time!
We can fully recommend Makasa for a trip in Tanzania! We will come back!
Asante sana Makasa.

Legend Safaris is legit. No need to look any further!
The guys from Legend Safaris were great and took care of everything. They picked us up from Hazyview and drove us back afterwards. The guide was genuinely interested in showing us all different animals and informed us about their habits, lifespan and much more. He knew his way around and knew about the best spots to find Lions, Leopards etc.
We could not have asked for a better experience at Kruger.

5 star experience everyday thanks to Vicent and John!
Wow did we choose the right safari company! After mulling over the hundreds of safari options I decided on Vimat because of it's raving reviews. Starting from the initial contact with Vicent where he was quick to respond, extremely helpful with all my questions, and gave me a handful of different pricing options (all with attached detailed agendas!!) I knew I was dealing with a professional and organized company. Vicent helped me decide on the 3-day Serengeti experience. We got picked up from Rivertrees Inn (in Arusha- which was WONDERFUL and highly recommend as a launch point to your safari) on a Monday at 8AM from our guide John. Within the first day of the safari we saw a leopard, a cheetah make a kill, 2 groups of elephants, zebras, lioness, wildebeest, giraffes ETC. Yes the FIRST DAY!!! John was so knowledgable about all the animals, had such an eye for the animals while driving and managing that 4-wheel, and overall was so easy to communicate with. Day 2 we saw all the same animals on day 1 except ALL the BABIES of each + hippo's, a lion and lioness with her kill of baby hippo. John got up close for us to take photos. All together this trip was fabulous and all made possible by our wonderful guide John, Vicent and the staff at Acacia Tented Camp. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an experience with the best of safari experts.

Very well organized, accommodating, knowledgeable and fun
We went safari through northern Tanzania with It Started in Africa. During the planning, It Started in Africa was helpful and always quick to reply to our e-mails and many requests. All the details were taken care of for the safari from the pick up at the airport in Kilimanjaro to dropping us off at our next destination in Kenya. The safari itself was amazing - we saw tons of wildlife and, thanks to the sharp eyes of our guide Isack, we witnessed a cheetah hunt a gazelle up close. Just incredible. It was the trip of a lifetime for us and we will always remember it fondly.

Nickson was an Amazing guide
My friend and I did a customized 11 days Safari in the north of Tanzania and it was just incredible! It went all very well, a friend had recommended the guide Nic he had been traveling with a few months earlier to us, so we contacted him and then worked out the itinerary together with Tony. He was very open and friendly and came up with a very interesting itinerary. From the moment Nic picked us up at the airport until the day he dropped us off there again, it was all perfectly well organized. The trips, the accommodations, the food, everything we saw (thanks to the sharp eyes of our guide Nic, we even managed to see the Big 5!!!), just perfect. I could not think of a better guide, he literally knows everything about wildlife in Tanzania and answered all our questions and found so many interesting things for us. We were just so happy to have him, he and his boss even came up with an amazing birthday surprise for me.
We went to Mount Kilimanjaro, Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongo Crater and Lake Manyara and this was a really, really good mix. We will remember this trip for a very long time and would not change a single thing.

Excellent Safari
We had five days Safari in Tanzania on Jan 2019. Our route is Arusha - Tarangire National Park - Ndutu Lake - Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro. It was excellent trip.
Daniel, our Safari guide，is very professional and experienced. He knows a lot of about the animals. In addition to seeing the big five, we also saw a lot of warm animal families. The hot lunch in Safari were very, very wonderful. It was feel so great that "an amazing hot meal with a nice glass of red or white wine and everyone else is staring at our table like 'well what tour company is that!?'” We really had a memorable time and enjoyed Africa’s Nature.

Perfect Honeymoon Trip, all thanks to PaperJet and Justin!
Husband and I decided on South Africa for our honeymoon with PaperJet after a friend's recommendation and it was beyond perfect. The entire 2 weeks trip was planned very nicely, from learning about the history and the arts to doing adventurous activities like the microlight flight and going on safari game drives. All the details were very much paid attention to as well. Justin also made the itinerary rather flexible to accommodate our needs and ensured we got the best time while being there! What was interesting was the element of surprise when the itinerary stated that the day was meant to be a free day, but Justin decided to take us places to explore Durban instead. The accommodations were excellent and the transfers by Justin and Thabo made us feel very welcome and we definitely gained much knowledge about the country during our conversations with them.
We are definitely very pampered on this trip with the itinerary planned and would contact Justin again if we were going back there! Thanks, Justin and team for this honeymoon trip of a lifetime!

Definitely Recommended
Everything from booking the tour to the extra transportation to the airport day after the safari, went great. The service was excellent and much better than we could ever have wished for. We had a private four day Lake Nakuru/Masai Mara safari. We saw so many animals and enjoyed the beautiful views. The mid level accomodation was almost luxurious for us. Our driver/guide George was extremely good driver on the difficult dusty roads and he had amazing eyes for spotting the animals hiding in the bushes. We had one lunch and one breakfast in the nature while watching the animals. We loved those little surprises. I sincerely recommend Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. It's not the cheapest, but you will get your money worthy.
