Incredible adventure!
It was my first safari! I very like animals and always wanted to visit famous Tanzanian parks. Although the trip was definetely not hakuna matata-style, it was GREAT! Mudy was a good organiser. He wasn't too intrusive and didn't make me to take decision and pay as soon as possible. Instead he answered ALL my numerous questions. When I arrived, he took me from the airport and explained a lot of things regarding Tanzania and safari.
For the first day in Tarangire we had 7 people in the car + guide, but it was OK since the car is very big. After Tarangire 2 people left, and for the rest of the trip we were 5 + guide and cook. The first night was in the campsite near the lake Manyara and it was a great place! We had small houses instead of tents and a majestic view of the lake. The rest 2 nights were in tents. Hot water was only in Ngorongoro, where the weather was cold like in my native country:D The food was great, everyday we felt like in restaurant! Tents were quite good, only sleeping bags were a bit cold. But Mudy awared me that I should take a warm jacket. I did so and was happy. The hardest night was the second one, which we spent in Serengeti, because we got into rain and I got some cold. Plus there was a hyena, wandering around our camp and it was quite scary to sleep, but now I understand that it was so adventurous! True joining with nature!:D
And of course, all the animals were just amazing!!! Huge thanks to our guide Rashid, who found all of them and told so much to us about them! In Tarangire we have seen 3 herds of elephants, numerous cute youngs and one very old clever female. In Serengeri we have seen my favorite cheetahs - a huge family of 1 female with 5 children. And of course lions were just our stars! We have seen them every day. In Serengeti we've seen 4 young lions, which were eating zebra. Next morning we woke up before the sunrise and managed to see a huge pride of 10+ females and one male, tearing apart poor wildebeest. We were just 10 meters away from them It was unspeakably scary and awesome! I did amazing photos!!! Thanks everyone for organizing my safari!

Amazing safari tour
We had a great week of safari in Tanzania by African Scenic Safaris. We were in Tanzania last November for two weeks. Our guide Tom showed us the beauty of different kinds of national parks. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and Lake Natron. The difference of landscapes and views is breathtaking. Tom was a really good guide for us. He learnt us a lot about all the wildlife we saw on the road. His bird knowledge is amazing! We enjoyed the safaris very much. Thank you. Justin and Christine

IT WAS AMAZING! I wish every tour organizer would be like this
I was recommended to contact ITravel because a friend of mine did a safari with Freddy a few years back - And I'm glad he did.
Freddy (the owner) and ITravel are just awesome. Straight from the beginning this was a truly satisfying experience for me and my partner.
After initial contact, Freddy provided us with an example sketch of a safari and suggested a few options between 5 and 7 days.
He provided us with potential sleeping arrangements (camping and lodge) for every night, but always pointed out that we could adjust any part of the travel. During the entire process, Freddy was always available to answer all our questions and I always felt well-informed about what was going on and what to expect.
Even when we were already in the country and before the real safari started, he insisted on meeting us on the day before, to rule out any last-minute questions we had, discuss again the plan of the safari and catered to all our wishes: I asked whether it was possible to visit the Olduvai gorge, and he made it happen, even though this usually requires several days notice.
During the safari, Freddy and Pius (the cook) were always polite, helpful and fun to be around. They both have a lot of experience and know what they're doing. We were always safe and knew what was going on. The camping was adventurous and the lodges that Freddy suggested were absolutely marvellous.
And now to the important part: Freddy seems to be some sort of magician. I know that you cannot expect seeing certain animals and wildlife is not always predictable. Nonetheless, he managed to let us experience a leopard hunting and her cub, lion cubs, a pride of lions hunting, cheetah cubs, and more zebras, elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, hyenas, ... hat I could count.
He knows pretty much everything about every animal and the national parks all around.
I am truly happy with the service Freddy provided us with, with the safari, accommodations and food and drinks we had and the level of personal entertainment (he is a very fun guy).
Summarising:
I cannot imagine anybody providing a better safari experience. ITravel is an amazing organization and I have never had a better tour organizer. I will definitely come back and book again with this amazing company.
PS: Feel free to contact me directly, I'm happy to elaborate even further on where we went and what we did and provide you with details of our trip.

Tanzanian safari was nothing short of spectacular!
We have used Sun Safaris in the past and have never been disappointed. Natasha was meticulous in helping us plan and coordinate our Tanzanian safari which included Americans and British groups rendezvousing in Kilimanjaro. We loved the accommodations at Gibbs Farm near Arusha and had the most amazing experience at the Asilia group’s Ubuntu camp in the Western Serengeti. It is a mobile camp that follows the Migration and it did not disappoint.
We will definitely be back!!

Great Experience During Our Recent Safari
We have had a wonderful experience during our recent safari to Tanzania with Vervet Safari and Tours. We found our driver Melkiot amazing because he was knowledgeable and very experienced in guiding around the parks. He guided us well sharing a lot about Tanzania culture, history, animals, birds and general life.
The parks were beautiful, teeming with animals that we do not have back in Ireland, beautiful scenery like the Serengeti plains and Ngorongoro crater.
We had very great accommodations that were luxurious yet we had booked a mid-range package. We were even upgraded to an executive suite at the Ngorongoro Safari Lodge.
Special thanks to Melkiot for guiding us wonderfully and I recommend this company fully

From start to finish excellent service
Leopard Tours took care of us from the moment we stepped off the plane in Kilimanjaro. After a long day of travelling having someone greet you and assist in getting you through immigrations was priceless. Every step of our trip that we needed assistance Leopard Tours had thought it out and had someone there to help. You need a touring company to help navigate Tanzania and Leopard Tours went above our expectations. In particular Joseph was our guide at the Ngorongoro crater and was a pleasure to work with, made sure we got to see what we wanted for as long as we wanted and answered all our questions about animals, the Tanzania culture and where to get some great local souvenirs.

Amazing Experience with KWESA
We had a great experience with KWESA during our recent Kilimanjaro Lemosho trek. They were very professional and approached all the aspects of trek in a very organized manner. We were very impressed by Lazaro who helped us to trace one of our bags which had been misplaced by the airline the following morning just before we began our trek at no cost.
Our guides were very experienced and friendly, leading the party to the summit successfully. They took great care of my teenage son with good food, comfortable tents and regular health check. This route is slightly longer but we are glad we opted for it because we did not experience altitude sickness.
I will recommend this company to all my friends

Amazing Safari
The Safari with Lion King Adventures was just PERFECT. Our guide Ozzi was really professional. We felt always safe and we had a lot of nice conversations with him. A special mention also to our cook Jusuf, who was preparing delicious meals for us. We will never forget this incredible safari-week!

Once in a lifetime experience!
We were a group of six and Africa Zim Travel did an excellent job coordinating our safari. The 3 day/2 night camping event was perfect for our family. Our guide, LT, and his crew, Victor and Sydney, made everything so convenient and comfortable. From the camp fire to our exceptional dinners, this safari more than met our expectations. I would highly recommend Afriica Zim and especially our leader, LT.
