Excellent family trip - we will never forget it!
Overall rating
5/5

We had a perfect family safari - with everything we dreamed of. Our guide Peter showed us everything from millions of wilderbeats migrating passing hungry crocodilles to newborn lions and cheetahs. Thank you for providing us the holiday of a lifetime.

Everything went perfect from the wellassisted and helpfull planing and paying and an enormous amount of flexibility adjusting to a family of five and even bringing a ladder to ensure the view for our youngest daughter. We can only recommend Benson Safari!

4 days Safari Northern Circuit - unforgettable experience and impeccable organization
Overall rating
5/5

We chose AAA Express Adventure after a long online search and a lot of quote requests. After several emails and after reading the reviews here on Safari Bookings and on Tripadvisor we relied on AAA Express Adventure.

Our safari included 4 days (end of August) between Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with mid-range budget. The whole safari was organized in detail.
The Lodges selected by Jalala were really perfect, much above our expectations, including the night in tented camp in the Serengeti with warthogs, hyenas and buffaloes that roamed around our tent.

The choice was appropriate and very positive, certainly a great value for money: no other quote was close to what was spent with AAA Express Adventure (others were even double), although tours and lodges were identical!
Jalala is very careful to its customers and has been able to answer all our doubts before we arrived. Also, we were delighted that at the end of the safari he came to visit us at the hotel to know our impressions of the trip and to say bye bye.
We can surely recommend AAA Express Adventure for the quality of service and kindness shown, 5 stars are not enough!

A big thank you goes to Ibrahim, our guide, who made us live unforgettable moments in search of the most remote savannah. Wonderful memories that will remain forever in our hearts.

See you soon Africa!

The scenery and wildlife were all I could have asked for. Weather was great, u fortunately my tour agent sub let the provision of the safari to a third party who left a great deal to desire, uninsured vehicle, faults on vehicle meaning engine couldn't be turned off, door flew open during safari and had to be held shut with a seat belt for 2 days, non provision of tents and sleeping bags at campsites and so it went on, luckily we were a group of 4 who bonded and turned the adversity into an adventure.

My tour agent was really helpful at resolving the issues at the end of the safari and he was certainly let down by the provider and I can't fault my tour agent. I continued on to zanzibar and that was as fantastic. In terms of wildlife and scenery and my agent certainly pulled out the stops showing me the best of the island with some really good trips around the island.

Excellent 8 day safari trip in Tanzania where we saw a multitude of wildlife up close.
Overall rating
5/5

We spent 8 days on a safari in Tanzania with Bush 2 City. It was an excellent trip where we traveled to 5 national parks and saw just about mammal we had hoped to see including lions, leopard, hundreds of elephants and hippos, thousands of zebras and wildebeasts, and ostriches, antelope, gazelle, cheetahs and more. The only animal we didn't see was the rhino.
We went in Sept so the weather was great and the crowds were down quite a bit. The places we stayed varied quite a bit as each group gets to choose what level of lodging you want with the associated price. Food was okay, not great, but certainly adequate for such a trip.
We also spent a day in Dar es Salaam and did a tour with Kizito Tours. This was fabulous and i highly recommend it as you get a very interesting picture of DeS.

Unforgettable
Overall rating
5/5

The weather was fantastic and our accommodation Altezza Lodge, Moshe was fantastic. The one day Kilimanjaro hike was a great day out and I would like to go back and do the full 5 day. There are plenty of big animals to see around the national park areas. The food is all of a good quality.

Each moment is a surprise
Overall rating
5/5

During each visit, in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Dar Es Salam, Massai village and Zanzibar, occurs a lot of surprise, astonishment, wonder.
Each area is very different, so in one trip you can make journeys.

Fantastic wildlife photography experience with numerous close-up opportunities of spectacular specie
Overall rating
5/5

Returned recently from a 2 week comprehensive Northern Tanzania photo safari beginning in Kogatende in Serengeti and traveling south ending in Tarangire NP.
The wildlife photo ops were outstanding, including instances of predator and prey interaction.
The accommodations, including both camps and lodges were fantastic. The food was delicious and plentiful.
The vehicle and guide were perfect for great, in depth exploration throughout the tour.

Our guide Lenadi during safari was always in contact with other guides to spot as much animal as possible. Food, accomodation & etc. was all good.

Amazing, one-time experience!
Overall rating
5/5

- the wildlife was fascinating and the safari is a must-do in Tanzania
- food was good depending on the location and even the lunchboxes provided were more than necessary
- unfortunately our guide did not explain very much about wildlife etc but only pointed out the animals once we were around them
- it was a lot of driving around but I would always do our route (Lake Manyara, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP) the exact same next time
- however, beware that guides will try to put you in alternative accomodations than booked, just make sure you stay stubborn ;)
