The great team and organization brought us to the summit of Kilimajaro
With Amos in the office, nikkolas as our guide on tour and a very friendly team with us we had a very good time climbing the Kilimanjaro. The Accomodation before and after the climb at the "Secret Garden" was clean and good located with a nice Mountain view. Spending Time on the Mountain with our Guide and Team was wörth all the effort to get there. We are happy we made it and we are happy for chosing Migration Venture.

Very good safari, good accommodation choices, and lovely driver
Super safari, we saw a large number of animals, felt welcome, good accommodation, punctuality and smile, only downside the last day a little quickly shipped, direct return to the airport ...

We gave them an Itinerary they gave us MEMORIES.
They were very prompt with the requests and any queries we had. They gave us all the information we needed to complete before out travel from India.When we landed into Entebbe we met our tour guide Moses who was with us till the end. He gave us information and told us about the culture the people and was genuinely a very nice guy and the made sure we do and see all the things that were to be seen.He would make sure we were taken care of at the places we stayed at and met all our expectations. The service is very consistent form the start to finish. A big thank you to Alfred and Moses for giving us a bundle of memories to take and cherish back home. Will definitely recommend them to my friends looking for a trip to Africa, and will be planning my next trip with them soon.

It was very good organized, easy going 6 days safari
Company met us in Arusha airport. After night in a hotel we started our 6 days safari.
First day was Manayara, actually we didn't see flamingo there, but we saw hippo very close. After a night in good camping we went to Serengeti NP for 2 days. It was awesome there - many gnus and zebras. We also saw different cats - lions, cheetahs, leopards.
Every day we had excellent dinner and breakfast with hot meal made by our cook. And also we had lunchboxes in the car, but the lunchboxes were not so good.
The only problem, which upset us was that
the program of Suricata said "Day 5 : Ngorongoro Crater tour .
After breakfast, proceed directly to the Crater floor for a full day crater tour with picnic lunches. Later proceed back to tarangire in the evening"
But actually we had only half day safari in Ngorongoro, we were upset of this fact.
But it total everything is very good. We recommend this company!

My friends & I needed a holiday season break and Crucial Tours delivered to my expectation!!
The whole safari experience was tailored to our request. They informed us in time of what we needed and our itinerary was as planned. My friends & I really enjoyed ourselves; it was worthwhile.

Friendly, co-operative and good for the budget.
Awesome people so friendly staff makes you feel at home. Although the food is just okay but the driver worked hard to make us witness the big five.

Excellent Tour, thanks to our driver Abraham
Wonderful 7 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara.
Everything went well, very nice and comfortable hotels and lodges. Escarpment luxury lodge in Manyara is way nicer than other places during the safari.
The driver Abraham was amazing: gentle, calm, funny, skilled driver, an absolutely astonishing ability to spot every single animal, anywhere. He knew so much about all the animals, their behaviour, characteristics, what is safe to do, when it's more dangerous. It was crazy. He made the safari more than enjoyable, and that's I think one of the most important part. He also has a very good English, which helps if you want to discuss/ask questions.
You’re going to spend almost 100% of your time with your driver/guide, you should better be sure to appreciate him. I highly recommend him.
You can just ask Mr. Abdullah (the owner) about him, he is very fast and responsive, by mail, WhatsApp. No communication problem at all and very helpful when needed.
The tour itself was just like a national geographic documentary … but in real life. We had a lot of time, and I think that makes it easier to multiply your chances of seeing all the animals, in all the situations (eating, sleeping, playing, chasing, walking…). An yes, we saw everything you can imagine seeing in Tanzania (except the climbing lions). I guess under 4 days, you might have to reduce the number of parks, rush a bit too much and so on.
Now the positive points are said, it may look like an ad, so let’s go to the negative points:
It seems that no matter what the company you take, you may have to face mechanical problems (I read many sorties before going). Then the difference between a reliable company and less trustworthy one is how this problem will be handled and how much time you’ll waste. We had a 4x4 in an ok shape, not the newest, not the oldest, but fine however, in the first day of the safari, it had some problems starting, we had to push/be pushed few times. I requested the owner to fix it by SMS. The day after we went to change the battery, 15min in a garage, and it was done.
It’s expensive. Yeap, very expensive. It’s not really related to the company I would say, more to Tanzania in general.
We also booked the Mount Meru through them, nothing much to say, it's a pretty standard tour, and there isn't much difference between the tour operators.
Conclusion: I would go back through Uhuru travel, without any hesitation (and make sure Abraham is available :-).

Greatest vacation of my life
communication was excellent. Matthew Grace made this trip perfect. His knowledge and love of animals and Africa was mind blowing. We stayed at 6 different places and they were all unique and beautiful. I had high expectations after booking the trip but the actual trip exceeded my expectations by far. Everything went smoothly and perfectly. It was the greatest vacation imaginable and I will definitely be booking through him again in the future

Exceptional Safari Experience
From start to finish, my wife's and my first safari experience exceeded our every expectation thanks to PaperJet Travel, and in particular Justin. Justin was very informative, responsive and helpful from the time we first enquired, right up to our trip close to 11 months later. As it was our honeymoon, he recommended a few properties on the intimate Phinda Reserve. We eventually decided on his first choice for honeymooners, Vlei Lodge.
We were even in contact with Justin at 4am, an hour plus prior to our flight into Durban due to some minor hiccups in flight timing and his replies were prompt. Upon arrival in Durban, Justin and his colleague Atang personally came to pick us up to head to the reserve 3 hours away. The 3 hours just flew by thanks to the engaging conversation we had throughout the journey.
The lodge and reserve were simply breathtaking. We were pampered silly by the 24/7 hospitality, and had countless encounters with the wildlife during our twice daily game drives, which were led by our experienced guide and tracker. Before we knew it, the 3 days in paradise just whizzed past and we see the familiar faces of Justin and Atang once again to send us to the airport.
We really couldn't rave about the trip more! Justin is simply amazing at what he does, and it was a pleasure getting to know him. We can't wait to book our next safari adventure with PaperJet again!
