"The safari organized for our yearly mother-daughter bonding trip was just superb! The operator met all our needs and requests. Best of all, we had a super driver/guide who made us feel safe and answered all our questions. This journey through Kenya was a lifelong fantasy come true. Thanks to all for answering our emails rapidly."
"I was impressed with the operator before I even left the country. Chislon, my coordinator, was able to accommodate me to make a unique itinerary. I am 18 and traveling alone, so it was really difficult to find safari coordinators willing to work with my budget, and most dismissed me. My guide and driver, Eddie, was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and hilarious! He kept me laughing the entire trip. Traveling alone, I was apprehensive about who my guide would be because I knew I’d be with that person for five days as my only company. With Freddie, my company couldn’t have been better."
We spent a week traveling with this tour company—three and a half days on safari in the Northern Circuit of Tanzania and three days exploring Zanzibar. They arranged the entire safari and accommodation in Zanzibar on our behalf, custom-made to our itinerary, at a cut-rate price. We couldn’t find a better package deal anywhere, and the services they offered were superb. The safari guide was knowledgeable and skilled, and we had our own private jeep. The accommodation exceeded expectations, and the pre-arranged transfers at the airports proved to be reliable. A brilliant service for a brilliant price. Highly recommended!
"Being with a smaller operator was great because we were in a vehicle by ourselves. Our guide, Antoine, and our cook, Abou, were excellent. Antoine was very knowledgeable and experienced about the different game parks we traveled to. Abou is an excellent cook and very personable. The food was tasty, healthy, and hearty – we were never hungry. The sales department was the low point. Our sales rep was not timely with all the information we needed to prepare for the trip. For instance, I didn’t know the safari started in Arusha until after several discussions about the itinerary. Had I known, I would have booked tickets to Kilimanjaro instead of Dar Es Salaam. All that being said, we ended up having a great time."Operator Response: "We thank Samuel for his feedback and are pleased that he had an enjoyable safari. We will ensure all clients are aware of the start point of their safari in the future."
"My friend and I were very pleased with the arrangements for our trip to Zanzibar. The tickets were available at the airport in Dar es Salaam as promised, and transportation was waiting to take us to the Dhow Palace on arrival. The Dhow Palace was every bit as colorful and full of character as its pictures, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We went on the Spice Plantation and Prison Island tours and found the guides to be punctual, pleasant, and knowledgeable, and we never felt rushed while touring. Overall, it was a great time in a truly lovely place!"
"The amount we saw and experienced in the six days of this camping tour was really amazing. We went to National Parks with differing vegetation and animals, and the climate varied from tropical to sub-arctic. Campsites were mostly fine, with one exception in the Serengeti – the very popular Pimbi camp, which had over 70 people, two long-drop toilets, and no water supply. We moved to Tumbili camp, which was a vast improvement. The tour staff taught us two rousing Tanzanian songs. Thank you!"
I loved that Wonders of Creation Tours & Safarissent us a notebook full of useful information about our trip, along with a book of the animals of Tanzania, to get us excited about our journey. I felt like we were informed about what to pack and what we needed document-wise, and I felt that the staff at Deeper Africa were available to help us in anyway.The guides and accommodations were outstanding! Our tents were comfortable with beautiful furnishings and linens, comfortable beds, and gorgeous bathrooms. Each tent had a front porch, providing a lovely place to view the terrain and wildlife and to have morning coffee. The animals were amazing, as were the people of Tanzania who worked at the camps! Our guides were extremely knowledgeable, bright, and entertaining! Trip of a lifetime.
"Southern Circuit: This eleven-day tour was most successful. The program was altered to suit us, as arranged before booking. We traveled as a couple with a driver-guide and a guide who was also the cook. We appreciated the African dishes he made. The parks were amazing, and the animals were most interesting. The roads were very rough, but the driving was handled with great care. The camping was mixed, but all accommodations were adequate. One night spent on a campsite where we were the only occupants was particularly memorable."
"We had an amazing time and really loved our driver and cook. I will definitely let you know when we plan on coming back. Thanks for your help."
"It's nice to know someone is following up on how tourists are treated. First of all, we had a great time, and the tour provided was very good. Everything went off without any real problems. The guide was very good, and the porters were incredible. Overall, I would say I am very satisfied with the service provided. The one thing I would say I was unhappy with was that when it came to the last day of our trek and time to tip the porters, the number suddenly went from the 8 we had every night in our camp to 12! This left us with a bad aftertaste as we felt we were being tricked. I think to overcome this, the company organizing should tell you exactly how many porters/guides are accompanying the client and how much is expected at the end. I would recommend this operator to friends overall, though, and we found the girl we dealt mainly with, Neema, to be very helpful and friendly to deal with."Operator Response: "We are sorry for the confusion regarding the number of porters. The Machame route is usually climbed by 8 porters for two people, but the number can vary depending on the weight of the bags. In your case, there were 12 people climbing, including guides and cooks. We apologize for the mistake and will ensure this is clarified in the future."
