Very satisfied and had a wonderful day at the Arusha NP
I was looking for a provider for my day trip to the Arusha National Park. Via Instagram I joined Faces of Africa Adventures and booked my tour there. I was picked up at the property and taken directly to the National Park. There was help with all the formalities, which was very accommodating, since I do not speak Swahili. The safari vehicle we were traveling with was very clean, modern and well maintained, which is very important to me. The driver and guide had a safe driving style and was always careful in the park that the guest had the best view of the animals. And that's so important on a safari. I was able to capture the best subjects with the camera. Also, everything was explained to me well and understandable, so that I now have a lot of animal knowledge and can also share this. At lunchtime there was a packed lunch, which was plenty filled and neat enough. Also drinks were offered. So the afternoon on the Game Drive could be spent in good spirits. After the trip, I was also safely brought back to my accommodation. For me, price and performance were right. Even with the payment everything was correct. All in all, I had a great day at the Arusha NP with the safari experience I had hoped for. Thank you so much!

Great Kilimanjaro and safari experience
We as family of four members climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and visited Ngorongoro and Serengeti as our safari in Tanzania with Incredible Africa Adventures. Mwinyi was our incredible guide during Kilimanjaro trekking, who is very professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and overall a great guy! He led us through the Kilimanjaro trek, explained everything we saw along the way with uttermost professionalism. We felt safe and in good hands. The entire trip was very well organized. The food was good and in abundance, the equipment provided for the trek was well organized and in good shape. The safari experience was amazing, we had a great time with Peter as our guide and we saw many animals as we came across Lions, cheetahs, elephants and lots of animals. Overall trekking and Safari was incredible and we recommend Incredible Africa Adventures when you visit Tanzania.

Mark Hathaway of Gondwana planned an excellent and seamless Botswana tour for us
Mark’s progression of our trip from Victoria Falls to Kasane to the Okavango Delta was well planned.
To some extent our venues were dictated by availability, and maybe we would have enjoyed alternate venues as much, but it worked out marvelously well. In retrospect, I would not want to have visited Victoria Falls without staying at the Victoria Falls Hotel. I enjoyed staying in that Edwardian colonial hotel almost as much as the Falls. Likewise, in Kasane, one day in the Garden Lodge, and two days at Pangolin was perfect, but I would not have wanted the full three days at either. And then to be at Rra Dinare with only a few other guests (between 2 and 4 depending), basically alone in the concession, was wonderful, especially following the busier Chobe National Park.
The arrangements were virtually seamless. Flame of Africa was always prompt. All the transfers worked without a hitch or worry on our part and we were able to participate in both morning and afternoon events at each venue. We appreciated Rodney of Gondwana meeting us at Maun on our return. Our private (there were three of us) helicopter flight over Victoria Falls was great, as were our private game drives in the Okavango Delta, and our bush plane flight out of hte Delta.
Mark’s advance information was complete and very helpful. Even though the Visa process at the Victoria Falls airport is very poorly organized, the Flame of Africa driver waited for us without complaint. The Pangolin Lodge was a photographic safari for everybody. I wasn’t sure it would be my cup of tea, but it was great and improved the rest of the Botswana game experience. Despite all of the above, Gondwana's price was very reasonable in comparison to others.

Great trip but tour guide below expectations
We book a 5 day "High End" in Amboseli, Navaisha and Masai Mara. The email comunication to prepare the trip was tediuos. We expected the executive to give us better recommendations for planning the trip. They never let us know that they were going to pick us up at the airport in Nairobi! I had to made the transfer on my own.
Regarding our guide, he comply with the schedules and he was friendly. He was very worried that we could see all the animals as well. However, he did not communicate much with us during the games drives and did not keep us informed of what we were going to do during the day. Moreover, he was not very open to listen to questions or explain. Finally, the day we were arriving at Masai Mara's tented camp, the guide got lost along the way.
Accommodations were great. Excellent attention, great food, very comfortable rooms and very relaxing surroundings.
We had lunch outside our acomodation just once. The last day, when we went from Amani Mara to the airport we stopped for lunch on the way in a restaurant that was far from being the standard of the tour I booked (High End). I will not extend talking about the supposed high-end binoculars and the surprise charge of 3.5% to pay by credit card (unacceptable).

Wonderful experience in Tarangire with a friendly and knowledgeable guide
I had a few extra days in Arusha after some work finished early and planned a last minute trip with Bestday Safari to Tarangire park. The entire experience as excellent and they took care of everything, including lunch. I'm so glad I went with Bestday - the guide, Goodluck, was perfect for the trip. Because I was going alone, I thought it might be awkward with just me and the driver, but Goodluck was friendly and warm and helped me practice my Swahili all day. In the park itself, Goodluck was informed about the animals and shared lots of interesting facts about them. He also was great at communicating with other drivers about different animals spottings. Because of this, I got to see a cheetah with its cub, and even see it take off after an impala, elephants just meters away from the truck, and two different groups of lions. Goodluck lived to his name and provided a memorable trip to Tarangire.
Overall, I thought the trip was well priced ($330 total) for a last minute individual trip, the truck was in great condition, and the guide was great.

Simply the best!
I got so lucky choosing Serengeti Wakanda Safaris of the so many on offer. Everything you could need and more was taken care of, the owner Bartho can’t do enough to make sure you have the best time. Also his quick responses to soo many emails and questions was amazing. Then there was our driver/guide Mudy who thought of everything to ensure our comfort and nothing was a worry for him. Add to that his knowledge of the incredible wildlife and where to find them this experiences was the BEST! We saw everything I hoped to see and more. If you have a choice of safaris you won’t go wrong with Serengeti Wakanda Safaris
