What an amazing experience. - What a great day. Every aspect of the trip ran like clockwork. Our transfer took and from our hotel was already waiting for us at the hotel at the arraigned time. Mashaka was the driver. Very professional. The safari itself was amazing. Had countless opportunities to see all shapes and sizes of animals. We were even lucky enough to get a glimpse of leopard. Our guide for the day was fidelis. He was also amazing. His knowledge was extensive. He really did look after us. There seemed to be several tour companies operating that day. Our vehicle and guide seemed to be as professional as it gets. Such a memorable adventure. We will never forget it. Thanks so much. Simon and Sharron.😊

Top recommended with German speaking guide :) - We were in Tanzania for the first time and did the safari. This is just fantastic, the guide (Yohana) speaks very good German and explains a lot. You also get an answer to everything on requests. Even in areas where there are hardly any people has gone here and you could take beautiful pictures. He tried to make it as nice as possible for his guests. also the supply of drinks was very varied.

Thank you so much for this fantastic day! - We had a wonderful day on our safari tour full of wild animals! Our driver Nixon is a very kind and helpful driver, he tried to show us all the sights and make our day perfect. We got to meet elephants up close, and even the lion family was sunbathing a meter away from us. Thank you very much for this wonderful day, it will be an unforgettable experience!☺️❤️

Average experience, not worth it. - This safari had great variety of animals, but there is a great propensity for vehicles to get stuck in the mud (happened more than once) and the guides will stop your safari to go help the stuck vehicles for an hour or more- not what I paid for! They need a dedicated service to rescue stuck vehicles; not other vehicles with paying customers! They almost ruined my birthday with this experience. The other safari I took with a different company was less expensive and no long pauses/delays.

I felt like I was in a comedy movie!! - everything started well: pick-up at the hotel, plane ride, and that's where the problems begin: we wait long enough for our jeep that finally arrives this famous jeep has trouble moving forward, it stalls non-stop and after a while ended up not moving at all. We wait for the mecano who finally arrives and repairs the vehicle. We leave again and there...... patatra!! a wheel breaks!! again we wait for another vehicle that takes us. We lost about an hour and certainly missed some animals. To return to the plane the driver drives at full speed, when he turns left his door does not stop to open!!! We narrowly got our plane. A word of advice if your vehicle is in trouble, refuse to safari with it. I'm really mad at whoever's supplying the jeeps. We still saw: elephants, lions, rotors, antelope
