Unforgettable experience
I made a 5-days trip to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and I certainly wish I had more time. The country and the people are beautiful but what made the trip even more enjoyable for us was my tour guide Phillip Samuel from Manyara travel club. He is a very knowledgeable, accommodating and has a great sunny personality! Since this was my first trip in Tanzania, I relied a lot on Phillip’s expertise on how to best spend my short stay and what the local customs are. Overall, it was quite an enriching experience which wouldn't have been possible if I didn't have an excellent guide like Phillip. I wanted to see many places in a limited amount of time, but Phillip was able to create an itinerary for me that suited what I wanted and packed it with some of the most exciting activities possible given my short stay...
I are very happy and would definitely recommend Manyara travel club to my friends and family who plan to visit Tanzania. Thanks Phillip for enormous support towards my success to Uhuru peak.

Kenya memorable trip
Our experience with Africa Starpal was seamless from the very first email interaction. Having been recommended from friends, we emailed to enquire about a safari for my husband, our 16 year old son and myself for mid-January 2020. All our questions were promptly answered and we felt very confident to book the trip with the company.
From arrival at JKA airport we were well looked after. All our accommodation during the safari was very comfortable and safe.
The highlight was undoubtedly seeing the magnificent animals in their natural habitats. Our driver, Sam, was exceptional and enhanced our trip with his knowledge, friendly and professional manner. Photography advice he gave helped us get fantastic photos we will always treasure. Sam also created fabulous lunch experiences as we feasted on delicious hot lunches and a glass or two of wine whilst soaking in the ambience of the Kenya bush land. At all times we felt completely safe and looked after
whilst in Sams care.
We took the additional option to visit a Masai village. The experience was unique and we were glad we did! It was a fabulous memory as well as an opportunity to gain a firsthand insight into a different and interesting way of life.
Two of our accommodation sites were camps. We slept in luxurious tents and fell asleep to the sound of lions and animals whilst feeling completely at ease and safe- this was a magical experience, especially as the warm, friendly and hospitable staff at each site made us feel so welcomed.
I highly recommend Africa Starpal to organised a truly special way to interact with these magnificent African animals and enjoy the wonders of Africa.

Another safari with safarihub
Remmy once again organized another safari for us this year, though this time we decided to spend a few days in Samburu. We could not fault anything as all went as planned. Many thanks Remmy and Safarihub team for once again coming through. As discussed during the debriefing we will consider going to Selous with you next year.

The most powerful and exciting experience- Marangu route Kili climb,Lake Manyara & Ngorongoro Crater
The climb team with God Luck and Jakson as a guide were very professional and his smart advises helped to all of us to climb to the top and make the dream come true.
during our climbing to the Kilimanjaro we enjoyed perfect service from Jiwe Adventures, our guide and his porters crew, all meals were served and the food was great. the porters support us through out all the difficulties of the climbing.
Kilimanjaro climbing and after that 2-days safari( Ngoronoro crater an Lake Manyara) were very well organized. Instructors and company managers were very friendly. Everything worked well. Thanks to Edgar(Managing of Jiwe Adventures), it was a great, unforgettable tour.

3days-budget safari, Ngorongoro/Tarangire/Manyara
We where two people going on a three days budget safari to ngorongoro, lake manyara and tarangire. We had two nights in "bungalows" at the panorama lodge near manyara.
We got picked up by our driver, Cosmos, at the correct time. We where happy with Cosmos as a driver and guide, and he was easy to be with. We where also happy with the tour, we saw a lot of animals (4 out of 5 of the "big five") and a lot of nice landscapes. The lodge we where sleeping inn was probably the only downside. The bungalows where ok, but the food not so much. But the lodge had a very nice view over lake manyara, where you can see the sunrise and that was nice.
The day after the safari the company drove us to the airport at the correct time. All in all are we very happy with the tour.

this one's for horace
World tours will probably be the cheapest deal you will get online - though AC cars and water coolers could be a possible addition they could add. We may have had a few issues with hotel choices and Richard's manner.. more due to miscommunication than anything else.. but overall our safari from tarangire to ngorongoro to serengeti was truly memorable all thanks to our guide, driver and friend Horace.. He went to all ends to ensure we saw all animals of choice, and would want to take us further even when we were tired, with a smiling OK to supplement it!
He would spot animals way before we did, treated us as friends, and helped make it a trip of a lifetime!

Brilliant Guides and excellent support
I am a 66 year old solo traveller, happy to "rough it" for a while if the experience justifies. Having spent 4 days on safari in Kenya booked through another company, I then found myself passed onto the very capable hands of Richard Kilonzo and his team in Tanzania. After a night's rest in Arusha, I travelled to Lake Manyara with the charming Mateas Chuwa, where we got up close and almost too personal with an old bull elephant. Exhilarating. The next day Richard's brother Steven arrived to drive & guide for the onward journey to Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire National Park. Steven's eyesight is uncanny, his knowledge of game and birds extensive, and his sense of humour delightful. After a brilliant 3 days it was back to Arusha, where once again Richard ironed out a last minute breakdown in communication with minimal fuss. If you are looking to see a lot of African fauna, on a limited budget and happy to accept the occasional limitations in comfort which that - and travel in Africa - entails, then this is definitely for you.

Great experience
We did 5 days safari tour (hell's gate, lake nakuru, masai mara) We had a super great experience with this compagny. Hotels and camps were very good and clean. The food is ok. We were disappointed because there are no flamingos at lake Nakuru. But it's not the fault of the compagny. We would not go if we had known before. We recommend this compagny. Patrick is a good driver and a good guide.

No Complaints!
We enjoyed our first safari experience to Tanzania with Safari Hub. The hotel reservations and itinerary was exactly as planned with no hiccups. Will keep in mind next time we plan a safari vacation.
