Great Safari. Really loved it!
We really loved the safari hosted by Crater Explorers. We had a great driver/ guide Charles. He did everything he could to see all the animals and make us happy. Also Emanuel came along to cook for us. Every day made 3 meals with good variety. Loved his food.

Perfect experience
We booked a seven day private Land Cruiser safari throw the Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo west parks.
Marurumi is an ambitious agency that perfectly manages to combine the solidity of a stable company with the attention of a family business. They organize sartorial experiences with obsessive attention to detail and professionalism.
The organization was impeccable, we felt like family. Our guide James followed us with care and great professionalism, managing to show us over 70 different species of animals (including all the big five) giving us precise explanations of their behaviour. All accommodation and facilities were above expectations.
Highly recommended!

The staff and guide are so helpful and great.
We participated in a 3-day budget tour and a 1-day private tour. We were very satisfied with the private tour itinerary, the chef and tour guide were very punctual. The tour guide's arrangements were very good and he tried his best to help us find the best viewing position and find animals throughout the whole process. We saw almost everything we wanted to see.

He is very friendly and gives us lots of relevant information about the animals as well as the natur
It was definitely value for money! We enjoyed it a lot!

Michelle took the time to listen to what we wanted and planned the right package for us.
We were able to see the Big Five many times. The service at the lodges that we stayed at was excellent and the value was exceptional. English was widely spoken.

Great Experiences with Savannah Adventures
We booked several tours with them and we we very satiesfied. The Safari Game Drive to the Zambezi National Park was amazing, the guide was on time, very knowledgable and found the animals at the right spots. We also enjoyed the vintage breakfast on a beautiful white sandy beach next to the zambezi river. What a treat! The walking safari to the Victoria Falls and the historic bridge is also a must, we were glad we booked it because it was fun and filled with historical infos of the area and Zimbabwe in general. The guide we had there was Carlos and he really enjoys being a guide you could tell. A wonderful experience , we were sad we only booked 3 night at this wonderful destination..we should have planned more time here. Thank you for your hospitality.

Dennis, the driver, good job！
Dennis, the driver, worked very hard, and his eyes were very strong, and he could see animals in the distance, and we saw everything we could see except hunting, which was the only regret.

Once in a Life Time experience
Spoiler alert: This is tour is not meant for those who typically do all-paid beach vacations. African safaris are rusty and rugged, but you will forget all about that once you get into the Serengeti park.
Lucas is private and custom tour operator. You will discuss the plan and route with him. He has an amazing personality, customer care attitude and he is very safety oriented. You will be with him all the days of the tour. He knows the area like the back of his hand and he had memorized the names of all birds and animals. He knows the terrain and area well (No GPS as there are no cell signals). He goes by his knowledge, instincts and sometimes radioing his net work of friends (especially getting getting hints on where the big cats are hanging out).
We had a group of seven that fits nicely in the modified (I.e., ruggedized) Toyota Land Cruisers they use. These vehicle are bare bone rugged beasts (no AC), some of the roads are unpaved and rugged.
If you have the right mindset, you will totally enjoy the safari

Professional, knowledgeable, great instinct - overall, blow away
We did a 6-day safari, starting in Amboseli (from Nairobi), then Naivasha (boat trip and Crescent Island walk), Nakuru and finally two days in Masai Mara. Bushtop were amazing from start to finish - booking was very smooth, and Denis was very helpful adapting the trip to our wishes. James, our guide, was amazing - very knowledgeable and informative about the animals, with a great instinct for tracking them down as well as some incredible moments (lions hunting twice, for example, as well as two leopards, which is very unusual). He’s very professional, and always made us feel safe and at ease. This is my fourth safari (including working for a few months in a camp in SA), and I was blown away.

Very flexible for changing arrangments.
As I got off Kilimanjaro climb earlier than planned due to illness, my thanks to Almighty Kilimanjaro for bringing my 2 day Safari forward a day and reshuffling arrangements. Thanks to strong cocktail of prescription drugs i was on after being discharged from hospital I found the energy to continue with my booked Safari. I had a great time going to Tarangire National Park on day one and Ngorongoro Conservation Area on day 2. The Safari drivers were all great but a special mention to Frank a Safari driver as he was brilliant on the last day of Safari. He drove like crazy so I could make a flight to Zanzibar. Also Nico my Safari driver in Ngorogoro Crater, was great in organising for Frank to bring me to Arusha. Also my thanks to Abdul of Almighty Kilimanjaro was great in picking me up in Arusha and getting me to Kilimanjaro airport. Lesson learned do not have a flight on the evening of a Safari. it puts too much pressure on everyone, me included. Air Tanzania brought my flight forward by an hour at very last minute notice. The effort by everyone to get me on that flight was outstanding. Both Safaris are well worth it but the Crater is something special. it was like a movie scene. it is a special place dropping through the early morning mist to the crater floor, emerging into a paradise of natural beauty. Be sure to get contact details for Rasheed in Almighty Kilimanjaro as it saves the Safari drivers a lot of hassle trying to figure logistics out, especially if you are on tight timelines like i was. I got lots of pictures and videos which I treasure but they fail miserably to capture the beauty of the place and the wild animals.
