Best experience with tanzania roadside expeditions
I booked a 6 Day safari luxury tour for me and my friend. first i had a lot of questions and i could ask through WhatsApp and Paul gave me all the exact informations, very good service. At our Arrival the driver was getting us at the Airport and bring us to the Hotel where Paul was already waiting for us. he explained day by day what we will see at the safari.
The next day , our safari guide James picked us up to start the safari tour. He is very friendly and knows everything about the animals,wildlife,safari & more. i recommend tanzania roadside expeditions because it was a perfect safari tour , the best service i ever saw with a safari. thank you very much for this Special experience. Kind regards Delaine & Milena

Wildlife Safari from Western Kenya
We did a safari with Oluokos Signature Ltd from Kisumu, Kenya. Having a couple of weeks in the Western Kenya s volunteers Oluokos team engaged us responsibly on some amazing excursion where we visited Ndere Island National Park, Kit Mikaye, Kakamega Forest and Ruma National Park that was very special to us.
After all the great excursions in Western Kenya, we embarked on a longer safari that took us to Lakes Nakuru and Bogoria, Samburu Game Reserve, the Aberdares National Park, Amboseli Maasai Mara and then finished with Lake Naivasha where walking safaris, mountain biking and a night game drive iced our safari experience.
Oluokos Signature passion towards responsible tourism is very impressive and it's worth every penny that you spend. We highly recommend them. Their choice of lodges is number one plus the best land-cruiser safari vehicle that made us the champs of the wilderness experience.

Our tour Guide was on time , knowledgeable experienced and helpful.
I contacted Sureway Tours over Facebook in early May 2019, about two weeks before I arrived in Kenya. I didn’t think they were gonna be able to squeeze my group of 6 people in but they were happy to.Our your guide arrived on time and full of information. John was so helpful and very pleasant. What I loved the most is that he was very open to making sure that we were satisfied with our itinerary. The tour was amazing and I learned so much. Sureway Tours is the way to go!

Great trip!
Did a one-day safari from Nairobi. Our driver and guide, Kim Ngare, picked us up right on time and took us out to Olpejeta. We saw 4 of the big 5 (buffalo, lion, elephant, and rhino), and Kim was super knowledgeable and dedicated to us having an amazing experience. Could not have asked for a better one-day trip. Highly recommend if you have limited time and want to see some of the amazing wildlife Kenya has to offer.

Face of Africa Adventure far exceeded all of our expectations!
Going to Africa had been on our wish list for decades. It is one of those big life trips that we said we’d take someday, but the thought of it was always somewhat daunting because of the expense, preparation time and distance. So for these, and a variety of other reasons, we waited. Well, this year, our circumstances aligned and our ‘someday’ finally came. This past July, my husband and I joined a safari group, led by Hamadi Ningaa and the guides from Face of Africa Adventure.
Logistics: There were 21 of us traveling together as a group, and I’m sure the logistics had to be complicated, to say the least! But Face of Africa expertly handled every detail of our safari. In the beginning, they sent us pre-trip emails including FAQs, itinerary details, and packing lists. (Hamadi answered my questions and emails personally). Face of Africa staff met us at the airport when we first arrived, guided us each day on safari, and transported us back to the airport for our flights back home at the end of our adventure. During our safari (ours was a seven day journey) our accommodations and meals for each day had been pre-planned and arranged so we had no worries. All we had to do was enjoy the sights and sounds of the wild.
The safari itself: The Face of Africa guides coordinated our four vehicles so that we stayed in close contact with one another. The guides were excellent ambassadors of their country and of the game parks. They greeted each of us every day with excitement and a sense of humor. They were all expert spotters, showing us and teaching us about the wildlife we came to see, even pointing out animals and birds that weren’t immediately visible. Hamadi and his guides were professional, polite, and patient. When one member of our group needed extra help in getting in and out of the vehicles, the drivers were attentive and treated her with extra gentleness and care.
I believe that our trip was a great success, specifically because we had Hamadi and the guides of Face of Africa as our hosts. If you’re planning a safari, don’t hesitate to reach out to them. This was our first trip to Africa, but if we ever have the good fortune to return, we won’t hesitate to join Face of Africa Adventure again!

Wow, what an adventure!!!!!!!
We had a blast with Benson Safaris. Communication with Benson before the safari was very good with quick responses to requests and questions.
Our guide made the trip special. He was dependable, a great driver on dirt, mud and stream crossings, and was always there for us. He was patient and gave us as much time as we wanted for pictures. He has great eyes to find animals and continually tried to get better angles and lighting for us. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, including cubs of lion, cheetah, and leopard. He also went way out of his way to get us close to a rhino late in the day when most other guides were taking their customers to their camps. He made the whole trip a fantastic adventure.
Accommodations were generally very good. Generally they were comfortable and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Only the migration camp in the North Serengeti was a little rustic but still okay considering where you are. I understand that more luxurious accommodations are available if that is important.
If you want a tour guide who continually talks, providing information and trivia, then our guide would not be for you. But, if you want someone who works very hard for you and gets close to lots of animals, then Kessy is for you. We were thrilled with our week with him and our total experience with Benson Safaris.

Our Moriti Private Safari was the MOST STUNNING adventure in my life's travel experiences.
Shaun's communication and attention to detail made our planning the Safari almost an effortless process. He kept in touch with information and updates and setup a safe internet option for payment. The lodge he selected as our home based was beautiful and comfortable. With just three of us in our little group we enjoyed Shaun as our guide and driver and an amazing chef who Shaun arranged to prepare delicious meals. As a main goal of our trip was photography, Shaun also added a wildlife photographer to his team so we had the benefit of truly one on one, in the moment teaching and coaching as we sighted animals. Shaun is skilled at tracking animals but we also had a local tracker riding on the front of our vehicle. With all this support, knowledge and skill of the entire team, how can one not look forward to every minute of each day!
The schedule for us a hobby photographers was perfect. We went out for several hours pre dawn and then again for sunset and early evening. Shaun is a determined tracker. On one day in particular there was a sighting of a leopard with a kill in a tree on a nearby property. Shaun put heroic effort into finding the leopard in an area that he wasn't as familiar with and we were able to spend about 45 minutes photographing the scene with no other safari trucks because they had to get back to their lodges at a particular time for breakfast. That is the beauty of a private safari where you time is your own.
Shaun always stopped for morning and evening break with beverages and snacks that made it very special to get out of the vehicle and enjoy the camaraderie of our group. After a few days together, it felt like we were with a group of old friends. Shaun and his team are very knowledgeable about wildlife, their behavior, identification of tracks, scat, flora, fauna and much more. Most importantly, safety is his prime consideration. We even went on a walking tour from our lodge to arrive at a beautiful sunset with a bonfire and wine. I was hesitant to go on the walk but Shaun has a way of putting you at ease because of his safety skills.
I could go on and on describing the special touches like a surprise full breakfast waiting for us at a picnic table setup "in the field" or the fireside chats after dinner but I think you get the idea of how amazing this Moriti tour was. Give yourself a gift and schedule a safari with Moriti!

Wonderful time
All the bookings for international and local flights, hotel and lodges came together well to deliver a wonderful holiday experience. We saw the big 5 in northern Tanzania as well as exploring some amazing parks. David, our driver was amazing and knew the area like the back of his hand. Good service is what we wanted and that’s what we got. Thanks guys!!

It was convincingly!
It was my first safari, and it was wonderful!
I saw a lot animals in the bush. So much nice picture for memory! Lions, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, warthogs, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles and a lot different kinds of birds. Accommodation was excellent! Mloka lodge is unforgettable place. Staff are friendly, owners of lodge are kinds and generous. Food was diverse, transport was in good condition. Our guide Fikiri Fikirini was attentive, with big knowledge and interest talking about wildlife in bush.
The weather was warm and sunny, air in bush - fresh and a little bit fragrant.
So me and my husband spent unforgettable time!
