A comprehensive one-stop operation. Ensure that all necessary detail(s) effectively taken care of
Our week-long holiday, with stays at 2 (very) different camps, was developed around a proposal provided by eXplore - selected from alternatives that were provided. Comprehensive detail incl all flights and fully inclusive accommodation were effectively incorporated into the itinerary, which was communicated well in advance of departure - particularly liked the on-line platform used to pull together all the travel details in clear and easy to access manner. The trip to Botswana was a fantastic experience that went off largely without any (real) issues.

Exceptional
The service from Morningstar during the second part of our trip in the Serengeti was exceptional. Our guide, Salim, was an essential part of making our experience so memorable. He took us to the best areas of the Serengeti and helped us truly experience everything the park has to offer.
Salim is incredibly patient, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He taught us so much about the Serengeti, its wildlife, and the ecosystem, making every game drive even more meaningful.
I highly recommend him, and if you’re traveling with Morningstar, I definitely recommend requesting Salim as your guide. He made our Serengeti experience unforgettable.

Review about Zanzibar Island by Allan
There's only one protected area for wildlife and that is home to a golden-backed monkey. I wouldn't describe Zanzibar as a safari destination, but as a place to get away from the safari mentality and relax. There are beaches to the north and Stone Town to look around so it's certainly worth staying a few days.

Review about Ruaha National Park by Allan
This park is surrounded by miles of bush, giving the whole area a more authentic feel. It's a big park with fewer tourists than in somewhere like Serengeti but the price you pay for this is fewer views of the more interesting wildlife.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Allan
There's lots of wildlife in the crater and lots of it remains there, thanks to difficulties escaping the crater. This leads to lots of in-breeding, particularly among the lions. Lots of tourists so its difficult to imagine it's just you and nature.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Allan
The problem at Mikumi is that it's easily accessible by road and attracts lots of tourists. It's often difficult to span the horizon without seeing another tourist vehicle. If you spot lions, you'll soon be surrounded by at least another ten vehicles as all the guides/drivers talk to each other by mobile.

The towns are scruffy, the traffic is chaotic but the scenery & wildlife more than make up for it
The Tanzanians themselves use an accurate Swahili term - "pole, pole" meaning slowly, slowly. The people are friendly and helpful. The hotels/lodges are of a reasonably high standard and you can usually get hot water (unlike Uganda). The proliferation of motorcycles makes the traffic crowded and unpredictable - you just need to remember this when crossing the road. For the same reason journey times can be longer than the distance would suggest. If the travel is on unmade roads (as most of them will be), the travel time increases proportionately. I went early in the dry season and the daytime temperature hovered around 24-28 degrees C. The exception is climbing Kilimanjaro, where temperatures drop substantially the higher you go. Once above cloud level, despite the lower temperature the sunshine will cause burning unless you've taken enough sun cream.
The scenery in Tanzania is magnificent, despite the littering from locals. Wildlife abounds and you'll certainly see most of what you expect to see. You may see all the "big five" with the exception of rhino. Leopards are less likely to be seen but I was lucky enough to see two. This applies to the National Parks. Outside of these, wildlife is more scarce. Costs vary but you are better off booking safaris with companies from Tanzania on the internet, rather than using companies in your home country who will use the same safari providers but after applying their mark-up.
Costs in Tanzania are relatively low but the more westernised the company you use, the more expensive it will be. In larger towns, you'll regularly be approached by locals who adopt the same approach - Hello, where you from? They may then try to sell you something which becomes trying after you've already rejected this approach by ten other people, but it's just a matter of grinning and bearing it.

They allways will try to make the trip the most amazing experience! Recomendado 100%
We absolutely loved traveling with Colours of Africa. From the very beginning, we felt comfortable and well taken care of. The guides always went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. They worked together as a team, constantly communicating with each other so we could see the animals in the best locations and as close as possible.
What really matters is not how far you travel, but the incredible experiences you have along the way. Every moment was spectacular, and the value for what you experience is truly outstanding.
We 100% recommend staying at Porini Amboseli Camp and the Moyo Camps. They offer the most incredible experience inside the parks. Animals often come right into the camps, making your stay even more magical. At the same time, the camps are extremely comfortable, spotless, and offer outstanding food and exceptional service.
A very special thank you to our guides, Norton and Jack. They are highly experienced, incredibly patient, and shared so much knowledge with us throughout the trip. Most importantly, they always made us feel safe and cared for, allowing us to fully enjoy every safari.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend computa of Africa to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!
Pd: We recomend also reviso y hours By car becuse ssome rotura are longer than expected, the test amazing.
