I was impressed with the operator before I even left the country.
Chislon, my coordinator was able to accommodate me to make a unique itinerary. I am 18 and traveling alone, so it was really difficult to find safari coordinators willing to work with my budget, and most dismissed me.
My guide and driver Eddie was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and hilarious! He kept me laughing the entire trip. Traveling alone I was apprehensive about who my guide would be because I knew that I'd be with that person for 5 days as my only company, with Freddie my company couldn't have been better.

Our safari was great. The operator was very helpful during the planning process and were able to accomodate our requests - such as, changing the beginning city of the tour and also adding sidetrips to the regular tour. In addition we wanted to have lunches away from the lodges - other companies had said it was not possible - we did it and found most companies also brought box lunches for their guests.
Most importantly the company provided us with a wonderful guide, whose english was great, whose knowledge of the area and animals was vast and who was very friendly. Our guide made the whole trip a fantastic experience. My cousin lives in TZ, speaks Swahili, and she was very impressed with our guide, Huruma - his experience in the field and how easy he made it for us. I was impressed with his relationship with guides from other companies - I saw other guides showing him respect. He is a natural. If I were going again, I would ask specifically for him.
Many thanks to this safari operator. I would do it again with them in a heartbeat.
