It was my first safari, and it was wonderful!
I saw a lot animals in the bush. So much nice picture for memory! Lions, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, warthogs, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles and a lot different kinds of birds. Accommodation was excellent! Mloka lodge is unforgettable place. Staff are friendly, owners of lodge are kinds and generous. Food was diverse, transport was in good condition. Our guide Fikiri Fikirini was attentive, with big knowledge and interest talking about wildlife in bush.
The weather was warm and sunny, air in bush - fresh and a little bit fragrant.
So me and my husband spent unforgettable time!

Our guide from Bee Eater Safari was excellent. First class driving skills and sharp eyes to find wild animals. We were lucky to see several dozens of lions, two sightings of leopard and cheetah and wildebeast crossing the Masa Mara, although we did not manage to see any Rhino. The lodges and camps we stayed in the national parks were very comfortable with good food and services. The weather was also very kind to us. All in all, an excellent safari trip!

The national parks were breath-taking. The Serengeti vast and full of live action wildlife, complete with one of the most amazing sunrises I have ever witnessed. Ngorogoro Crater was abundant with animals, strikingly different terrains, such a beautiful landscape. Tarangire, home of the elephants, blew us away with the numbers of animals all around. Highly recommend Tanzanian Safari to everyone!
In terms of the agent itself there were a few changes to the programme which we were not informed about until we arrived, promises which were not kept and disappointments with arrangements after clear requests and acknowledgement. I would also have liked more information from the guide as we went around with daily plans and animal facts, but overall had a great trip and food was great!

Specific nature, unique wildlife, nearly comfortable weather, friendly people, smart and reliable travel companies, high professional level of guides are what I would note first of all from the impressions received during my journey. For scheduling the individual trip I would recommend to bear in mind significant transportation time needed to get from one site to another while using ground transport.

I was just a little disappointed by the lack of male lions to be seen, and that we only saw a rhino on the last day of the trip. The hot-air balloon ride was nice, but, again, we saw very little wildlife on the ground. The weather was great, as were the accommodations. The selections for meal times were good, transportation was as good as could be expected, and our guides were great! Kudos to Wolfgang, George and Raphael!!

We had a very memorable experience with EarthLife expeditions. Right for being picked up from the airport to the drop it was very efficiently charted out.The whole trip could not have been so memorable without both our guides Mr.Joseph and Mr.Abu.The camp sites were also very clean and served us very good food.

Everything was better than we expected, and we expected a lot. We loved every minute. From the very beginning, our guide and driver, Joseph, was wonderful. His knowledge of the flora, fauna, and history of the park, Selous, was unbelievable. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, he was funny, confident, and great company. We saw so many more animals than we expected, and with Joseph’s knowledge, we learned so much. The accommodation, food, and service were spectacular. We had no idea how much we would bond with our driver and guide in such a short time. We are so glad we chose a small Tanzanian company. My luggage did not make the trip, but Joseph, with Raja’s help, made that less stressful. I got my bag when we got to Ruaha, with the help of Joseph, Raja, and our guides in Ruaha. They went above and beyond what they had to do.
We had a lovely flight to Ruaha. Our guide and driver met us at the landing strip, and we immediately started on a game drive.

Although we missed Joseph, our previous driver and guide so much, we soon became comfortable with our new guide, Jovin, and the driver and tracker, Mkonda. Seeing so many animals living the way they should was emotionally intense. The guides were so incredibly skilled at spotting animals and explaining details about how they lived. We also loved the walking Safari with the armed park rangers.
Every day was an adventure, and when we returned to our lodges, both in Selous and Ruaha, we were welcomed by the wonderful staff, and had wonderful meals and service. The sleeping quarters were beautiful and clean, and we were overwhelmed by the warm service we received.
In addition to the amazing flora and fauna we witnessed, the night skies were amazing.
We flew to Zanzibar for our last 3 days and loved that, too. We went snorkeling, visited Stone Town, and a spice plantation.
Raja really took care of every detail. We were thrilled and would recommend Raja Tours to anyone who wants a trip of a lifetime!
