"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 skillful, 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!"

"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."

"We had a great time! John was very helpful."

"Basically, I was satisfied with the services provided. The people were friendly, accurate in time, and sufficient in English. The program was flexible and according to our suggestions. Our excitement for Africa was marvelous, and I will definitely bring some customers back."

"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."

"What a fantastic deal! I had a chef and a driver and a big 4x4 just for me! The parks visited were teeming with wildlife, and the driver, Fredy, was attentive and very competent. He was amazing and could spot game from phenomenal distances. Camping on the Serengeti was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The facilities in the camping grounds are okay, the toilets suffer

"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!"

"This was a wonderful experience for my first time in Africa! Jane helped me customize the tour, and the accommodations were superb. Simon, the safari guide, was 'simply the best' at being at the right time and right place for game viewing and for his informative comments and knowledge of the area."

"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."

"They are a very professional and organized company. I was in communication with Mwanaid for many months prior to the trip, and she was always prompt and helpful in answering my many questions. Our driver-guide was excellent, spoke very good English, and made our trip very pleasant. I would recommend this company to others looking for a great safari."
