My very honest review about a 4 days Safari.
Let's start from the basics:
I am a big review fan, so I take reviews VERY seriously. What you will read in the next lines is 100% my POV.
The tour operator:
I found the agency through the website. I wrote to 3 agencies first and at the end I decided to book through this one, in particular through Noel.
Me and my boyfriend booked a mid-range 4 days Safari through Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
Noel answered very fast, at every hour. He is a reliable operator, who always had the answer to my doubts. He made sure we got the right car on the right moment and everything was planned perfectly. He even came to our hotel after the safari just to see us in person and say hello!! Can you believe that??
The tour:
We had to start with Tarangire but our tour has been changed due to our flight change. It happens, but they made sure we see everything we booked.
I had an amazing time. Like the best vacation of my life, no jokes. An experience I will never forget. Me and the group (6 in total + our guide + our chef) are now friends and promised to see each other again. And that's the best gift an experience can give to you.
But what makes a Safari unforgettable? The right guide. Of you don't get the right guide your expectations can be disappointed.
Our highlight:
If you're seeking a fantastic safari experience in Tanzania, look no further than the guide Luttiba. Ask for him when you book. He just made us bond together. Our adventure through Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to his expertise and dedication.
Luttiba's punctuality ensured we made the most of every moment, even during long drives. His commitment to providing the best experience possible was evident as he navigated the wilderness, offering insights and spotting wildlife with precision.
Beyond his professionalism, Luttiba's humor and respect created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our journey. It felt like exploring with a knowledgeable friend who genuinely cared about ensuring our enjoyment. We laughed, we danced, we shared stories, we got emotional.
In short, Luttiba was truly the highlight of our trip. If you're looking for a guide who embodies everything you could wish for on a safari ā reliability, humor, respect, and expertise ā Luttiba is the perfect choice.
The food was fantastic also thanks to the Chef David, sich a talented and nice guy, I hope you will have the change to taste his FANTASTIC food.
At the accommodation everybody was nice, we made new friends.
Thank you, Noel, Luttiba and David, for giving us the best time of our lives. We will never forget you.
Asante sana,
hakuna matata!!

Great value and amazing experiences
We had Charles (driver and guide) and Emanuel (cook and camp) for our 4 day budget safari and loved the entire experience. Charles knew all the spots to look for animals and we saw so much in such a little time. He was also really flexible and friendly, willing to see what animals the group was interested in. At the camps, the food was amazing and we could just relax knowing it was all taken care of.

Oncein a lifetime experience
This trip was absolutely phenomenal and I only have positive things to say about Trav-Interactive, David, and our driver George Wachira. Both David and George communicated our plan well and I was very happy with the ease of putting together the itinerary. We scheduled a trip to Maasai Mara park traveling to and from by vehicle. Both George and David were kind and very accommodating, always making sure we were ready to go in the morning and had plenty of water. George is the best driver I know, taking us on the best routes within the park and navigating through the rain on the way out. George also was very insightful during the game drive and I learned a lot about the area and Maasai culture. We finished off our time in the Mara by visiting a local village and ended in Nairobi at a coffee farm, where we took a tour of the farm and did a blind tasting of coffee. The options for activities are seemingly endless working with David. Thank you for an amazing experience, it was truly worth every penny and I look forward to more tours through Trav-Interactive in the future!

excellent service
Hey guys! I just wanted to share my experience with Savannah Adventures here. Seriously, I can't express how amazing it was. Right from the start, their performance was flawless, and the storage capacity they offer is impressive. And don't even get me started on how versatile their travel options are! Plus, the ease of use and durability of their equipment are aspects that really stand out. But what impressed me the most was their customer service. They're on another level! If you're thinking of venturing into Africa, especially to Victoria Falls, look no further. I highly recommend choosing Savannah Adventures. Also, I want to give a special shoutout to Taf, he made our experience even more incredible with his professionalism! You won't regret it!

Brilliant people, brilliant customer service, brilliant experience
This was a great value for money tour. Geofrey met us in Arusha and helped us to get accommodation. We felt safe and built up a great bond. Before and after the expedition we had a pint and rented / handed back our equipment. The trip up Kilimanjaro was amazing. I went with 3 friends from university and it was one of the best weeks of my life. Asante sana Geofrey.

Responsive, genuine, knowledgeable, and helpful guides! Highly recommend!!
I originally reached out to CampTrek because of their positive reviews, and the entire experience from that point forward was nothing but amazing. They go above and beyond to earn every single one of those reviews and Iām happy to recommend their group for all your safari or travel needs, in and around Nairobi / Kenya. Both John (the owner) and our guide, Nyamu, were amazing. They were able to accommodate our last minute tour needs, and recommended the best packages available for what we wanted to do and see. Nyamu was able to put us on lions, and were the only ones that day to see them at Nairobi National Park!
From airport to hotel pick ups and drop offs, to Ol Pajeta, Lake Navaisha, Hells Gate and Crescent Island, Giraffe Center, Nairobi National Park, chimpanzee sanctuary and the Rhino Sanctuary, in just 3 days - it was an exhausting and fulfilling whirlwind we would happily do again! I canāt say enough thanks for their professional services!!

Charming and humble while delivering services
The journey was splendid, meticulously organized by the guide Jose, who accompanied us throughout the adventure. The cost was reasonable, covering everything: lodging, meals, and access to all the attractions.

Amazing experience
Just finished a 5 day hike to the summit of Mount Kenya in Kenya.
It was organized by Equitorial Star adventure & safaris, a Nairobi based company. Its owner Mr. Duncan has been truly amazing in organizing this hike. From first quick response to always communicating in a timely manner to picking me up at the airport and organizing the 4 person crew accommodation me up to the summit safety, Mr. Duncan and his company has been nothing but inspiring and helpful.
The hike itself was conducted in a safe and considered way where head guide Juma always looked out for his crew and I.
Safety first.
Sam the cook dished up some delicious local meals, Paul and Ben always was helpful and eager to help out when needed like setting up tent and bring hot tea.
Overall I can highly recommend booking any kind of tours with Equitorial Star adventure & safaris.
10 out off 10.
Thank you for an awesome trip.
