Dream come true
We did a 6 days private tour (4 days safari with Aardvark Expeditions) and it was excellent, now we know we should have gone for more days.
We saw the Big 5 in one morning, did see lots of other animals, cheetah one of the highlights.
Visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngonrogoro. Sleeping in a tented camp in the Seregenti and watching the sunset and the sunrise in the savannah is a must do.

Dream come true
We did a 6 days private trip (4 days of safari) that included Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngonrogoro. It was all so fast that i'm sure it will take time to take conscience of what we saw. We saw the Big 5 in one morning in Serengeti. Sleeping in a tented camp was an unique experience. We saw many lionesses and their cubs, something I was not expecting.
Overall, it was tough but rewarding.

An amazing destination!
As a solo female traveller I felt safe throughout my trip. I enjoyed every moment of Zanzibar and the safari tour in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.

Tanzania - One of the jewels of the Earth
We discussed everything by email months before the trip and got exactly what we agreed on.
During our trip we visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. The safari was a shared budget tour, but we got maximum experiences for reasonable costs. Our guide took us through the various locations in a professional manner. We saw all the big game except the extremely rare rhinoceros. Our chef prepared delicious meals for us, and during the tour we received not only water, but also beer and soft drinks. We slept in tents for two nights. It was exciting to see the animals walking around the tents. Our car broke down on the way to Serengeti, but they quickly helped us out and we continued with another car.
We became good friends with our travel companions during the safari, and after the tour we relaxed with them in Zanzibar.

experienced one of the greatest adventures of our lives in the National Parks of Tanzania, thanks to the help of SafariBookings and Safari Soles Tours.

Spectacular country in so many ways - amazing variety, wildlife, and people
We saw amazing wildlife in our safari which took us to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and both the Central and Northern Serengeti. We saw loads of wildlife, including the great migration crossing the Mara river in the north and a pair of cheetahs rocketing out of the tall grass to make a kill right in front of our safari jeep.
And if you like climbing and are looking for a unique, high elevation experience, check out Mount Meru. It clocks in at just over 4500m and is an amazing 3 or 4 day supported

non-technical climb. Where else can you see giraffe and warthogs on an alpine ascent?The people throughout were friendly, helpful, and genuine. It’s a place to slow down and savor.
In Zanzibar we dove in Matemwe with Eagle Ray divers which is a locally run shop that does dives out on Mnemba atoll. And in Arusha we worked with Safari Soles who booked our safari with Freddy and our climb of Meru with Sam and Eli. All were fantastic and I’d highly recommend them all.

Amazing experience.
In Tanzania the safari feels like a trip inside a National Geographic movie, very nice people, breathtaking views. amazing experience. We traveled with a guide from the Lion King company, Emanuel, who was a charming, smart man, knew how to find the hidden animals, told us a lot about them and made sure to make our trip perfect. Staying in the tents in the Serengeti was also a wonderful experience, something we will remember forever.

The best safari trip ever!!
SIMON is an amazing 5* guide, not only is his subject knowledge excellent and totally up to date, but his knowledge and his interest extends beyond the safari animals to all of the surrounding nature. Theres rarely a question he cannot answer - and believe me we asked loads. When uncertain, he has the humility to admit that he doesn’t know and will research into it, returning quickly with an answer.
His genuine total respect for the animals and indeed the whole environment is impressive! What stands out most is

his enthusiasm, sense of humour, love of the animals (they come first) and genuine love of his own profession.We were treated like royalty by all staff, at Twiga Lodge, and they were so genuinely nice people. Rooms are clean - nice shower, clean sheets and towels - just what you want. We had been on safari all day. It was lovely to be greeted by the receptionist JACQUELINE, who showed us around. It was lovely to see the welcoming swimming pool and even nicer to be assigned our very own chef for the evening - FAUSTINE SONGA . The food was perfect, he cooked us the best soup we have both ever tasted / pumpkin soup, WOW! It is impossible (and we tired) to find a better Hotel to stay. Great hotel, excellent staff who are genuine and down to earth providing the best service, making you feel special! Give me Twiga (giraffe) lodge any day - just like the giraffe, they reach the highest standards.
Godlisten/ Colours Africa provide an exceptional service for a very reasonable price! We would unreservedly recommend them! 5*

A great way to get in touch with Africa for first time
I choose Shammah Wonder Safari as I took 3 quotes, and from there, Justin, the owner of the company, got in touch with me and started asking me my needs and preferences, making sure everything was okay and perfect.
He helped me with all the details, even booking some accommodation in Zanzibar and finding me a driver, Makame.
I had the chance to know him and he was a very charming man who wanted to help in everything he could, so I highly recommend you to book your safari and activities through him.
About the safari, It was a really nice experience, so I could see lions, elephants, giraphs, impalas, zebras, hipos...It is not always easy to find them, but the guides where making an effort trying to find them and explaining you everything they knew about them and the land. Particularly I was very happy with my guides Jackson and

Eli, who where very charming and welcoming, with a great level of english.The accommodation was at Africa Safari Camp, and in my opinion was great, with a nice place to sleep and great food. Masai where guarding the place and they where really nice with guests. At night I had the chance to dance with them and it was an amazing moment I will never forget.
The one thing you should ask, is if you are going to a village or a school, as I did and didn't know. Then, you will have the chance to bring some materials and stuff to children and people over there that could use it and take profit.
In conclusion, this is one of the best experience I ever had and you will not regret if your attitude is positive, curious and grateful.

Very good
Definitely worth it for us.
The fact the 3 days are split into different kind of safaris is very nice. The guides are funny and overall it was a great experience in every day.
The driver was also really good and took us to some places where no other cars were.
Accommodation was also quite nice and cozy. Although it could get quite loud in the night because of the baboons (but there's nothing really that you can do about that), the food really surpassed all our expectations (specially because we are vegetarians) and the staff was very friendly as well.
