All ok
Driver very good and experienced! Safari very interesting! Optimal accomodation
Excellent!
We had our tour organised through Soul of Tanzania’s sister company, Spirit of Kenya, but part of our trip included a few days in Tanzania, exploring the Serengeti NP, the Ngorongo Crater and Tarangire NP. Our guide during those days was Walter - we thought he was fabulous, very friendly and knowledgable. Coming off a few long days in Kenya’s Maasai Mara NP, Walter was easygoing and adapted to our requests to have a couple of shorter days so that we could catch up on sleep (and laundry - everything we had was dusty!). Overall, we found the service to be top notch - an easy handover at the border point; comfortable vehicle; and excellent game drives with plenty of animal spotting. We would definitely recommend both Soul of Tanzania and Spirit of Kenya - organising the trip was a breeze, all our accommodations were beautiful, and the overall trip was a joy. Team - thank you / karibou from the bottom of our hearts.

Excellent experience with Make My Safari!
My experience with Make My Safari in Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I reached out to Talib the owner to inquire about their services to the very last day of our safari adventure, every aspect of their service was impeccable.
First and foremost, the communication with their team was prompt, clear, and extremely helpful. They patiently answered all our questions and customized the safari according to our preferences and budget, ensuring that every detail was taken care of.
During the safari itself they were constantly checking in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. Talib was always availably anytime of day to answer our questions. Our guide Remmy was an absolute gem. Knowledgeable, passionate, and with an uncanny ability to spot even the most elusive wildlife, he made our journey through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater an unforgettable experience. His insights into the animals' behavior and the ecosystem added a whole new dimension to our adventure.
The accommodations arranged by Make My Safari were top-notch. We stayed in beautiful lodges and camps that not only provided comfort but also blended seamlessly with the surrounding nature, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the wilderness.
In conclusion, Make My Safari exceeded all my expectations and provided an experience of a lifetime. If you're looking for a safari company that combines expertise, professionalism, and a genuine love for wildlife, look no further. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Make My Safari, for an incredible journey that I will cherish forever.

Maleng Travel provide a stellar bespoke service!
Tony planned an itinerary based on my family's wishes and preferences. The tour was for a party of four and we travelled with Tony and a tour guide. Murchison Falls National Park was a true delight and the highlight of the trip was definitely the boat cruise on the River Nile aboard "The African Queen" no less, seeing elephants, giraffes, crocodiles and hippopotami in their natural habitat.
The icing on the cake was Tony placing an order at the 11th hour for a Birthday Cake to be made and presented to our sons at Chobe Safari Lodge, after dinner.
We found Maleng Tours knowledge and experience in the field invaluable when planning this trip at affordable rates and were very impressed with the results!

Great trip in the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi
Awesome trip to the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi. It was well organised, packing in so many great experiences in a short time. Rachael and the local guides were excellent, helping maximise the experience and minimise the inevitable challenges in a fascinating region. Many thanks for the great memories!

What an amazing tour experience, one of the best I've ever been on!
What an amazing tour experience, one of the best I've ever been on! We went on Omo Valley Tribes and Danakil Depression Tours, The Ethio Backpacker team was a great host; quick communication before the trip, gave us lots of information about Ethiopia and picked great places for some photo ops. The food stops were so tasty. This private tour is one of the best ways to change it up and get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Ethiopia.

The most experienced people, it is immediately visible on Safari.
We couldn't have dreamed of it better. We saw all the big five animals, and even saw a leopard twice. Andrew and Dullah were so amazing that after 6 days it was hard to say goodbye. Andrew has a wealth of knowledge about each animal and Tanzania. Dullah prepares amazing and huge meals. The excellent tour plan allowed us to enjoy the Safari to the fullest. They will adapt to all your needs.

Amazing guides and fair prices
We went on a 5 day safari with Serengeti Smile and we loved every moment of it.
We visited Tarangire, South and Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Champion and his intern/lookout Dominic kept telling us that safari is all about luck, but the two of them seemed to have an awful lot of luck. With them we managed to see 2 leopards, 3 black rhinos, 7 cheetahs, 20+ lions including 4 cubs, 150+ elephants and giraffe as well as 1000s of wilderbest, zebra and gazelle.
The car was a Toyota Landcrusier with a removable roof for better watching and sockets for recharging phones etc. as well as a small fridge in the back stocked with water and coke.
We stayed in tented lodges in Serengeti and at a lodge outside Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Everywhere we got great service and great food. On the safari we got served lunch boxes with fruit, local food and a small desert. Always plenty and always tasty.
Champion and Dominic made sure that our wishes were heard but was also not afraid to tell us "let's move on now, something interesting has been spotted up ahead". They took responsibility for our experience and was very attentive to our preferences and made sure to look out for animals we were especially interested in. Moreover they knew a lot of interesting facts about birds, animals and flora.
Overall an A+ experience that can't be recommended highly enough.
For the 5 days (4 nights) we paid 3620 USD excluding tip for 2 people. We transferred the money via bank transfer before arriving and we had no issues. Our contact person was Erick, who answered all our questions in an expedient manner.
Ps. If you fly out on a domestic flight, consider leaving from Arusha Airport instead of Kilimanjaro since it is much closer to the national parks.

Excellent and reliable
The whole experience was amazing! From the start, Samuel was very responsive and open to customize the trip to our needs, arranging us the perfect weekend at the Massai Mara. Also, our tour guide, David, was excellent; he was very well trained for the tour, was very open to every need we had and gave us a better experience of what we imagined. Thank you for all the excellent job done!
