One of the most memorable experience in Tanzania
The day of visiting Ngorongoro park was the last day of my travelling in Tanzania and appeared to be one of the best. The trip started at 7 am from Arusha, riding along the Ngorongoro park area began after approximately three hours driving and lasted almost until sunset. Thus, there were quite enough time to watch both numerous animals of nearly all kinds and park's natural beauty. By 9 pm I was taken back to my hotel which was Arusha touristic Inn that also suited me. I may rate this tour very high from all points of view. Everything was flawlessly organized: on arriving to Arusha the day before I was met and brought to the hotel, the tour itself was very well guided and full of impressions, although my back flight was the early morning on the following day the car picked me up at the hotel exactly at predefined time to transfer to the airport. The company staff, their partners and people in the hotel were very helpful and polite. And in addition, the tour price is possibly one of the lowest that one can find. I definitely recommend Travel Africa Safari Agency as a company and One day Ngorongoro Crater tour from Arusha.

Amazing experience
Me and my sister booked the mikumi national park 2 days tour and it was such a great experience! We got even picked up on the day before with a great warm welcome and brought to our hotel. Mwajabu is doing an amazing great job and is an absolute lovely soul she helped us with a lot of stuff which nobody else probably would have take care off and stayed all the time in contact with us to organize everything. A huge thank you couldn't have found a better organizer!!! Our tourguids at the safari were also amazing, it was so much fun!! Would definitely book again next time with you guys!!!

THE BEST SAFARI EVER!!!
We just got back from a 7-Day Big 5 African Safari in Kruger National Park, and had the trip of a lifetime! We booked our trip with Legend Safaris and couldn’t have been more pleased - Excellent! Shaheen, Legend Safaris owner, made everything seamless from start to finish. Legend excels at customer service and puts the customer first, whether it’s a day trip or one of the many safari packages they offer. Shaheen worked tirelessly to ensure our experience was exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations. He also got back to me immediately regarding any questions I had, and that is appreciated when booking on-line.
Our Safari guide and host, Edwin, was also great. Edwin is an experienced guide who shares his expertise, knowledge and his stories made for endless laughs. We learned so much about the animals, the plants, the park itself, and felt safe while getting up close and personal with wildlife. We explored the park in an open vehicle, and Edwin knew where to find the Big 5 and how to navigate the vehicle for optimal viewing. Edwin also proved himself to be an incredible cook and host preparing delicious dinners after a full day of experiencing the park. Legend provided transportation to and from Johannesburg in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The lodging accommodations were also comfortable, clean and carefully chosen to show us the park’s different areas and terrains. We saw all the Big 5 at Kruger and would highly recommend Legend Safaris for your next travel adventure. On a scale of 1 - 5, we rate them a 10! Thank you Shaheen, Edwin and Legend Safaris for giving us The Trip of a Lifetime!

10 day Kenya and Tanzania Safari
I booked a 10 day safari through Charity at Adventure 360 in July 2019.
I never write reviews, but am definitely honored to do so on this occasion. Booking a safari was pretty overwhelming with so many options, tour operators, countries, etc. I found Safaribookings.com to be a pretty helpful resource for narrowing down the places and animals I wanted to see. From there I found a tour from Adevnture 360 that offered exactly what I was looking for at a great price relative to other tour operators. I eventually customized that itinerary from 11 days to 10 days to fit my exact needs.
Charity was my main point of contact and I couldn't have been any luckier! I reached out to multiple tour operators but Charity was consistently the most prompt and the most thorough. I asked Charity about a million questions and she was super helpful and patient in answering any and all questions I had. During my Safari one of my drivers was running 30 minutes late for a game drive so I sent Charity an email early in the morning and she immediately contacted the driver and sent me an update ASAP. She was on it!
I was a little concerned living in America and dealing with a local operator all the way in Nairobi, Kenya so I did all my transactions by credit card for which there is a 4% transaction charge. But after dealing with Charity and the 360 team I can say with full confidence that they operate with high integrity and customer service. I wouldn't mind paying in cash on my next safari with them.
Adventure 360 also had a great network of drivers that they use. Its partly luck on who you get, but my driver in the Masai Mara, Bernard, was absolutely the best driver of all time! Thanks to Bernard we got into a prime position to see the wildebeast river crossing! It's a once in a lifetime experience and Bernard pulled through when it counted most! He literally jumped ahead of every single car there and got us into the #1 spot. Some other cars completely missed the crossing or didn't have a great view - they should've had a Bernard with them. I also gave him a nice tip at the end, but honestly, the level of service Bernard gave us is an experience worth way more than money can possibly buy.
Overall I was extremely happy with Charity, the 360 team, and all the drivers involved. Africa is a once in a lifetime experience and I consider myself absolutely lucky to have found Charity and the Adventure 360 team. Thank you guys so much for the amazing experience!

An incredible experience!
My mom and I travelled with Eagle Eye Safaris to South Africa, Rwanda and Uganda. What an incredible experience! I got some absolutely amazing wildlife shots and a better understanding of my camera. We even did an impromptu night time Milky Way shoot. Karen and Ernest took care great care of us and had some nice suggestions on how to spend the couple of days we were on our own in Johannesburg.

Fraud!
Our honeymoon trip is in 3 days and we just received an email that the company has technical problems and therefore cannot give the required services. You will receive the funds between 45-90 working days. I'm really panicking

9 awesome days filled with animals and culture
My bf and I were on Safari on July for 9 days (of actual safari, or 11 days if you count the arrival and leaving days). It included Tarangire, Serengeti (both north for the crossing and central) and Ngorongoro as well as getting in contact with some of the tribes that live in Tanzania and whose reality is so different from ours. It was a truly awesome and fulfilling experience.
We booked everything with Mussa. He was always very quick to respond (maximum 1 day) and was always very attentive to our needs both before and after we booked the Safari. He always promptly responded to all our questions and always did his best to ensure we had the best experience possible. When we got to Tanzania we found out he wasn't going to be our guide (he had hurt his back and so he couldn't be driving around) but he assigned Lyimo to be our safari guide. He assured us he would take good care of us and that was absolutely true.
Lyimo was a great driver and great guide. Always in a good mood, very knowledgeable and very thoughtful. We managed to see all the Ugly 5 up close and we only missed the Rhino from the Big 5 (to compensate we saw Leopards both on a tree and walking and we saw lions not farther than 1m from us, which was thrilling to say the least).
All the accommodations we got were great and the experience of sleeping in a tent knowing there's nothing separating you from the wild is something hard to describe.
A part of this trip (that was suggested by Mussa) and that we loved was also the culture part. We visited some tribes near Lake Manyara and near Lake Eyasi. We feared it would be just something too touristy (like a performance or something) but we found the people to be really truthful and really proud of their traditions. It was an honest and enriching opportunity.
While there we asked if there would be time to visit Olduvai Gorge (it wasn't scheduled) and Lyimo made it possible (and we loved it).
One of the things that made us decide to go with Roam (besides all the awesome reviews and the great quality-price relation) was the fact that this is a locally owned business so we knew we'd be bringing our money to Tanzanian families instead of giving it to European companies.
If you want to do a Safari in Tanzania, go with Roam and you'll have the time of your life.

Safari ventures provided a magical tour of Tanzania
Traveling internationally for business and pleasure, this was by far the best experience with a tour company. They provide excellent pre-trip information and advice. Communications during the trip were clear. Every aspect from driver guides to accommodations were first rate. I will be using this company again in the future!

The most devoted Guide-Driber
We spend 6 days of Safari with Elemes, he surely is a very devoted guide - driver who enjoys exploring wildlife as much as we do.
He really goes for the extra mile to please his customers and does not limit himself to the beaten tracks.
Our target was.(as many others do so) to be able to see the full big 5.
Has luck anythîng to do with it or not, I don't know, but elemes fulfilled our dream !
Our contact with Elemes already started months before when planning the whole vacation and more specifically which lodge to stay.
After some scrutiny of the budget and wishes, we quickly came to an agreement. With one exception, all of these turned out to be gems. And then again, that exception only because we set our expectations very high after the previous places where we stayed. All in all a very memorable vacation thanks to Tanzania Travel & Safari, at a very acceptable price
