Regarding communications - Said (representative of Saving Tour) did not answer the question - which company provides the tour, then it turned out to be 3 Wonders Expedition, it had bad reviews before. Regarding the service - Said (Saving Tour representative) promised us campsite accommodation with beds (luxury+) In fact, it was just a false advertisement, 3 Wonders Expedition placed us in regular tents at the Nyany Public Campsite - we slept on the ground, covered with old sleeping bags. But on the first night, in the Serengeti, it was warm. And in Ngorongoro, the temperature at night was about 10 degrees Celsius, and summer sleeping bags (one of them was a child's size) did not protect us from the cold, later I fell ill with pneumonia. Do not contact Saving Tour. After my complaints, I realized that cheating is their modus operandi.

I utilized Seko Safaris Agency to design an excursion with my school companions from the US. We visited Climb Kilimanjaro We additionally had the chance to investigate nearby dishes and music while at our lodge. Since I am initially from Tanzania, I have been to Safari trips previously, however our local area expert, knew incredibly itemized data about the creatures and the spots we were visiting. I felt that our guide was truly true and learned about creatures and simply broad life in Tanzania. I am truly happy that the planing was without hustle and they were astounding at ensuring everyone had all they required before,during and after the outing. It was incredible and I am anticipating another outing very soon!

We paid 200 dollars for what we were told was a private tour of the forest. We had 10 people with us on our tour and at one point had to share the private taxi booked at the tour guides insistence. As the others in the tour included young bored children the tour raced through in about 30 minutes. The forest is beautiful and well worth a visit but do not go with this operator.

We went to Zanzibar for our honeymoon trip while combining it with New Year's Eve 2019. We arrived there on December 27, 2018. Unfortunately our hotel Neptune Pwani Beach Resort and Spa was not what we expected and in general our accommodation experience was one of the worst we ever had mostly due to the poor room amenities and set up and the unprofessional service of the personnel. We had booked the accommodation with another safari tour operator from Tanzania. The reason we are referring to that is to make even stronger the point that although we were not happy with our hotel and we could not sleep well, we overall had an amazing experience in Zanzibar. We owe this to Zanziplanet Tours and to Mussa Hassan personally. Mussa Hassan is THE man in Zanzibar. He is extremely professional, with great manners, very helpful, discreet, very friendly and very well connected to all Zanzibar hotels and resorts managers, restaurants managers, local store owners etc. We felt that he is very well respected to the local tourist community. As soon as we arrived to Zanzibar airport after a long stop-over flight from Greece, Mussa welcomed us very warmly. This is exactly what we needed at that time. He dropped us at our hotel and the day after our adventure with him began. He and a young professional driver were picking us up everyday at the time we wanted and they showed us all the main sight-seeing locations of Zanzibar but from a local perspective. We don't like touristic attractions that much and Mussa got it from the beginning. The interesting thing is that from the first day, we didn't feel that we were accompanied by a tourist guide/butler but we are on vacation with a friend of ours. And that's merely the result of Mussa's personality. We kept discussing with him about local trends, Zanzibar history, social, economic and political situation of the island and of Tanzania in total. He was very well informed about everything while he was an excellent listener as well. Equally important, he was extremely adaptable to any last minute changes we requested like change plans for NYE dinner. As we didn't like at all the resort we were staying at, we decided to spend our NYE to Park Hyatt Zanzibar in Stone Town. We had to make a reservation on a really busy day. We went there and he arranged everything for us. He drove us to amazing beach locations like Nungwi, great resorts for dinner like Zalu, to Stone Town and street markets to experience the local lifestyle. He was responsible for all our restaurant reservations and trasports back and forth. He took care of any wish and need that we were coming up with daily. We are deeply grateful for meeting Mussa in Zanzibar. He literally made our day! We would recommend him anytime and we are happy to provide any additional information if needed. Great professionals should be rewarded for their excellency. Maria - Apostolos Greece

8. Pemba Flying Fox Forest

Chake Chake, Tanzania Safanta Tours & Travel

Pemba’s only endemic mammal is a large and critically endangered bat (Pteropus voeltzkowi) called “popo” in Swahili. They spend their days in trees rather than caves and the island’s biggest roosting site, home to some 4000 bats, is at Kidike Sanctuary about 10km northeast of Chake Chake. There's a large population here due to the proximity of a local burial site, which meant the colony was undisturbed. Outside peak season, ring ahead to check that someone is there. Kidike is 3.5km off the Chake–Wete road.
