No better place to go on safari
We booked a private guide/driver through Ruge, an independen in Arusha. The guide for us was Dixon. Dixon was the finest guide we have had and we have traveled the world. He used to be a porter for groups climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and is working to earn his degree. We chose the Ngorongo Crater as home base and that proved to be the best of all options. At this time of the year (January) the migration is only 2 hours west of the crater. Thus, you have day trip access to the crater itself (actually much better game viewing there than Serengeti), Serengeti and Lake Manyara, three distinctly different ecosystems. We chose the Ngorongo Neptune Lodge, which rates among the best 2 lodges we have stayed in worldwide. This combination proved to be the best one I can possibly imagine. We have been on previous safaris to Kruger in South Africa and Botswana. We had the luxury of our personal guide, a pop up Land Rover and a 5 star resort which was all inclusive. The total cost for 5 days and 4 nights, including pick ups and drop offs at Mt. K Airport, was $4400, or $2200 per person, a tremendous bargain for this fine adventure. We added 2 days in Nairobi, including tours of the Sheldrick Elephant Sanctuary and Giraffe Center, for another $450 pp. We coordinated all this on our own, which goes to show you can pull together a customized, week long trip to Kenya and Tanzania without blowing your whole wad. We also got great fares from Kayak.com on Airline tickets.

A thrilling experience!
A thrilling experience! face-to-face with lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, zebras, giraffes, antelopes...in the wonderful scenario of Amboseli, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Amboseli is a relatively small park, but with so many different landscapes, included a dry lake. Masai Mara is an evocative place, where you understand the real meaning of infinite. Our guide Steve made his best to let us see all the animals possible, and also to enjoy the different landscapes. While in Masai Mara we experienced a rainy day, but our driver was great in driving the muddy tracks and wade across small rivers. Accommodation was also great during the whole trip. An unforgettable trip!

The best safari with the best safari guide
Tanzania Choice Safaris was incredible from the start - Brenda took time and energy to ensure my safari would best suit my needs. The accommodations were great, and I got to see the best of all different kinds of lodging (tented camp, lodge etc.) as well as 3 different parks. Kikasii is simply the best, and made me feel comfortable and showed me the best of all of the parks. I would highly suggest TZ Choice Safaris, and look forward to my next adventure with them!

Amazing Africa
The safaris selected by Yellow Zebra were absolutely amazing. Throughout the entire adventure we felt that we were part of a BBC documentary. We saw (up close) all of the big cats, rhinos, hippos, elephants and every antelop imaginable, along with many other unique animals (e.g. tortists, dung bettles, soldier ants, etc.). There were a lot of activities to choose from, including game drives, night drives, horseback riding and land hikes. All activities were restricted to us (two people) and seldom did we see other tourists at the major sightings. There is nothing that we can recommend for improvement.
Thank you Emma.

They were extremely helpful, available at all times, very quick to respond to avert crises faced
They have excellent communication systems and services. They more than lived up to our expectations. We have long flights and a number of connections but they were able to assist us even when we had to make abrupt changes. We had to change one flight from a one way to return at very short notice. They managed this without any hitch

Considerate and knowledgeable guide for an amazing tour!
A wonderful experience on the 4-day tour to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Our guide, Evans, did an outstanding job taking care of us and was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the area. We had plenty of time to see the big animals as well as many birds and they were all spectacular. The lodging was very nice and the food was good. Overall a great safari!

All in all great organization and a wonderful Safari
The communication with Maturaf the owner was good in advance (sometimes he did not answer very fast, but all in all he came back to all our questions and we had the feeling that he is taking care of our needs).
Our driver and guide in Tansania - Novatius - was very kind and we where totally happy with the Safari he did with us. Sometimes we had the feeling that it is not possible to do the trip excatly how it was promised before, because there are restrictions regarding the time you are allowed to stay in each national park so our guide had to change the program a little bit in order to make us see all the national parks that have been promised. But he did a great job to make us happy and in the end there there is nothing we could complain about, anyway.
Thank you Maturaf and thank you Novatius for this special experience!

Affordable, experienced, safe, amazing, delicious, friendly
Wow! What a great safari! Last week we went on a 2 day tour to tarengire and Ngorongoro crater, with Ezekiel. This was a safari to remember. Ezekiel was so friendly, informative and made the trip! We were able to see all of the big 5, and felt so safe at every point!
Then we went on a 4 day trip with Freddy, who was so friendly and informative also. We had some other difficult customers with us (not in our party) who Freddy delt with so professionally and calmly. Again we saw the big 5 again and Freddy got us to the best viewing points.
Everyone in this company works so hard and provides such a high quality service and rock bottom prices. Hilary went above and beyond to come and talk to us at our lodge, and was so passionate that he istanly won us over! He also went above and beyond to help us at every point, including let us use a hotel room to shower and change before our flights.
Such lovely men who clearly work very hard!! I was also so impressed by both chefs, outstanding food every time!
Can’t recommend them any higher!!
