    What an experience! We saw all the big 5 and much more! we saw hippos in Lake Manyara, we saw hyenas and lions so close up a few times, giraffes and zebra everywhere, loved the hotel in Ngorongoro Crater.. The guide was amazing, he could see animals from a mile away and was very knowledgeable. The hotels were great, we didnt want to leave. Great service overall, and the vehicles were clean and new.We felt safe just having our own private safari. Best trip ever! One tip, bring good binoculars and you can really spot the rare animals from far away.

    I had a wonderful Safari! Juma Issa was the absolute best guide - professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I still can’t figure out how he spotted so many animals! He and the Safari exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wishing to see not just the big five but much more! Thank you and a big thank you to Juma Issa!
