Well planned, exciting, and fun.
During our stay we spent a good majority of our time with tour guides and experts Martin and Andre. Both of these guys were certainly experts and professionals. Every day was planned out perfectly to hit essentials and see anything and everything possible. An important aspect to me was how passionate they were for this job. Their dedication to their communities and passion for their job was easily noticeable. This made the trip that much more informational and enjoyable. Our trip to Eastern Africa did not disappoint in any way shape or form. After the trip I immediately knew I planned on heading back to Africa and staying in touch with our guides and their company.

Very good safari experience
It was our first safari so it's hard to compare but I think everything was OK. Jalala (probably the owner) responded very fast to every question and offered a good price for us. Accommodation in Panorama Campsite was very good with beautiful view over Lake Manyara. The best part of our safari was the Ngorongoro Crater. I was amazed by the number of animals living there. Also Tarangire National Park surprised us pleasantly. We were satisfied with both, our guide and cook. The only drawback from my point of view was the deposit payment - international bank transfer, especially from my country, is really expensive, maybe it would be useful to find another way of payment such as credit card or PayPal.

Professionalism from start to finish.
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Snow Africa Adventures was an experience that we highly recommend. As a tour operator from the USA, we often view how a tour is handled with different eyes. As this review was titled -from the pick up at the airport, to our final hugs goodbye, our experience could not have run smoother or be any better. Florent, Snow Africa's owner/operator made sure that all details were executed perfectly and his staff of guides and porters were not only professional, but they were all so enjoyable to be with, especially when they sang to us! We felt safe at all times under their care. The equipment provided for the campsite was top quality and the food served was excellent. After a successful summit, we finished our African adventure with 3 days of safari. It was an amazing journey - one that we will want to repeat again, and again! We loved it!

Excellent professional service that gives you moments to cherish forever !!
Jambo (Hi/Hello in Kenyan local language) !! My first African safari !! I never expected it to be such an incredible one. A big thanks to Maggie (our point of contact at Bison Safaris) and James (our tour guide & driver). James was waiting for us at the airport and no confusions to spot him. Hence a good start. We headed straight to our accommodation at Rhino Camp at Masai Mara. Rhino camp gives you a feeling of living in the woods. The staffs, especially the cooks are very friendly. Second was a full day safari. James proved he is the best in the business. Exceptional knowledge about every animals and birds in the park. We lucky to spot 4 out of the BIG 5 category on day 2 itself. We did Hot air balloon ride on day 3 which was the best of the tour. Peter, the pilot, who left America for his of nature and has been living in Kenya for the last 24 years made the flight so special with his incredible commentary. We visited Lake Nakuru on the last day and spotted white Rhino (5th of the BIG 5) and lot of Hippos at Lake Naivasha. I recommend Matfarm resort, where we stayed in Nakuru. Overall, the trip gave me moments that I will cherish forever. A trip that changed my perspective about Kenya and the people of Kenya. Asanti sana (Thank you somuch) Maggie, James and Bison Safaris Team. You guys rock !!

Magnificent trip to Mt Meru, Mt Kilimanjaro and safari
Our trip main goal was to have wonderful time climbing Kilimanjaro which all went beyond expectations. Both organizers Emmanuel and Ene, as well as the porters and guides on the mountain, were all very friendly and helpful. We climbed both Mt Meru and Mt Kilimanjaro with our guides who are true professionals summiting our whole group of 4 to Kilimanjaro. To give you a hint of an excellent service - the summit to the mountains were calculated so perfectly that we arrived just a few minutes before sunrise after which the guides surprised us with warm tea and juice. The price was also very good - nothing you can find from the most common sites on the internet.
We recommend highly to climb both Meru and Kilimanjaro as well take the safari for the weekend with Siafu Tanzania Safaris.

You made our trip fantastic!
It was well organized and without the support from our team we would never have reached the top.
It was one of the most beautiful trips we ever have made.
Thank you Eve! We love you and Kili

A family trip to explore the South-African nature and culture
Wild Wings Safaris (WWS) helped me from the beginning to set up a very nice program.
Many questions were answered in short time resulting in a program that suits the whole family of parents and four sons.
All the hotels and lodges were well informed , the hired cars were perfect, the combination of Cape-Town, Stellenbosch (wine-tasting), Oudtshoorn (Bontebok parc) and Addo elephant parc gave a good impression of culture and nature.
Of course we had to book our tickets ourselves and fill in the program with lovely restaurants.
The basement, organized by WWS, gave us a save feeling.

Flexible service for all your needs in Tansanya - Mt Meru, Mt Kilimanjaro, Safari etc.
We had a 4 person group and we took full package of services. Co-owner Emmanuel meet us at the airport in the middle of the night and took us to the hotel ( we came with two different flights and Emmanuel drove 2 times to aurport that night). Flight company lost our luggage and Emmanuel organized our luggage to us as soon as it came to the airport. We took i guess full package of services, first fi went mountain hiking to mt Meru for three days, our guides and other team (cooks, porters) we excelent, very fiendly and helpful, very nice guys. After couple of days resting we went to 7 day hiking to mt Kilimanjaro via Machame route. there we had one other guide, who wasn't in mt Meru, he was very experienced and knew everything we wanted to know and both giudes did everything and mre to took us to th summit. Weather in the summit day was very extreme, but we made it 100%. After mt Kilimanjaro hiking we went to 3 day safari, our group grew up to 8 people with our friends, who came later. Company owner Ene Lepp personally came to safari help us. It was wery proffessionally organized. Between hiking and safaris company's assistance organized everything what we needed and what came to our heads, they took us places, where other tourists are not going very often and showed us real life. One of our hiking guides took us even to the party and stayed with us whole night and helped us to get to the hotel. In the end company organized everybody personally to her plane, some went home, some went further to Sansibar. So if you want vero good and professional service, personal approach, flexibility, You need to contact with them.

Excellent
They picked up my visitors in Nairobi, transported them to Mara Safari Club, then dropped them off in Naivasha where we collected them. All went well.
