Amazing Honeymoon in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar Island
My husband and I spent 9 days with Regional Tours & Safaris and we had an incredible time Novatius as a driver guide all around Tanzania. He is so knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely loves his job. While nature is nature and you can't be guaranteed to see "everything", Novatius made a huge effort to show us every animal we wanted to see, and as a result we were lucky to catch unique moments like the great wildebeest migration! He was so patient and would let us watch animals for as long as we wanted - at no point did we feel rushed to move on.
When planning the trip, Maturaf at the office was incredibly patient and helpful, answering our million questions and willing to adapt the itinerary to our needs and budget. In the end he designed the perfect trip for us that included 7 days on Luxury Tented camp safari and 4 days in Zanzibar. It made our honeymoon effortless!
I'd highly recommend planning your safari with Augustine. You will not only learn a lot about Tanzanian wildlife, but you will leave with a friend for life!

5 Days Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro
Overall a good Safari. Everything worked out well, but I would qualify the guide as just OK. Having been on other Safaris I can't overstate the difference that a great guide makes. Separating the rating by item, I would say:
Ease of Dealing with the Company: 5*
Accommodation: 5*
Vehicle: 5*
Guide: 3*

An Awesome Experience!
Our three-day trip to the Maasai Mara definitely exceeded all our expectations. Karanja’s keen eyesight and expert knowledge meant we were always seeing different animals and learning more about them. He really went out of the way to ensure that we had the most memorable experience possible.
Accommodation was spectacular, emails were answered really fast and everything worked out great. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Very well organised, supportive and friendly team.
Right from well before the trip, the communication from Michael, who made the arrangements including the gorilla permit, was excellent. Once in Uganda, everything was well organised.
Abel is an excellent driver, and knows the local roads very well. If you ask for his help, nothing is too much trouble.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mushraf Travel Agency for gorilla trekking in Uganda.

We could not imagine that the trip could be so nice, stress less: the best holidays of our life!
It was not easy to Mohamed to manage our trip, because we did not know wha we wanted! But he choosed perfect lodges, answered to our questions and prepared a perfect safari. Our guide, Ally is perfect: he drives very well, always tries to help us and manage every thing perfectly. He perfectly knows the reserves, finds animals. He is able to be funny and we had a good time with him.
The lodges were more than perfect: we could not imagine to be in such conditions! And the camp was comfortable enouth: we felt stressless.
The only problem is that we see so much animals that we forget to admire the landscape wich is wonderfull.
Thank you to Mohamed and Ally for this wonderfull trip!

Wonderful experience with our guide Joseph. We visited Mikumi national park for 3 days. He is very knowledgeable about the country, animals, plants, birds, and great at spotting the animals! The vehicle was comfortable and exactly what we were expecting. Fun, fascinating, exciting trip...thank you Joseph for showing us your beautiful country. Very happy with the trip and would recommend to anyone with a passion for wildlife.

Everything was beyond what we expected!
We looked around many places trying to find a company that gave us confidence for our safari honeymoon trip. The guys on EarthLife were always available to respond all our questions and very quickly which gave us a good idea. The paying plan also make us feel very safe in the decision we were making. Once we landed everything was smooth sailing. Moison picked us up and took us to their office and they greeted us with the best smile and enthusiasm. Moison took us to buy sim cards for our phones and to our first hotel which was brilliant!.
From this point forward all hotels were incredible, the food to our surprise was delicious everywhere we went. We didn't take a friend's advice and bought a bottle of our favorite whiskey beforehand as the hotels have a limited stock of booze. They always found a way to make us feel like our honeymoon was special.
Moison our guide was the best guide you could wish for, he was a seasoned guide with many miles on the serengeti and a TRUE MAASAI! He always took the longest routes and made sure we covered everything, and his efforts paid off! we saw the big 5! and plenty other animals, he followed his gut and his knowledge to separate himself from the other tours and gave us spectacular views of the animals and sites. You could even see him give directions to the other tourguides and you could tell he was well respected!
All in all this trip became me and my wife's all time favorite trip and this was all thanks to the services provided by EarthLife and its team.

Lucky Solo Safari of Kenya and Tanzania with Zanzibar trip
This was my first trip to Africa and my first solo trip out of the US so I relied heavily on help from everyone at KWSS and they reply at a moments notice. By luck I ended up on my own private safari with Anthony in Kenya and Marcus in Tanzania (this was the low season). I cannot stress how much you need to rely on the guides. They know the area, the animals and how long it takes to travel from place to place. They will optimize your time and what desires you have and not overburden your trip. The photo shooting is far more of an adrenaline rush then I ever expected. Your experience is what you make of it. Anthony and I were about the same age so we really hit it off outside the safari as well talking about life and dating and comparing our countries to find we had a lot in common. Marcus's ecology degree really shined through with his knowledge of the animals adding a great deal to the experience. I did see all of the big 5 including rhino in both countries which is extremely rare. Dhow Inn was rather dream like in Zanzibar, very very good for couples. I will be back to Africa for another trip with this group.
