Betsey M.

Clayville, RI

"This was a trip for a lifetime. I can't fathom the work that goes on behind the scenes. To have these camps set up to serve us so elegantly is most amazing. I will carry the memories of the Serengeti in my heart forever. Thanks to everyone who makes it all happen."

Betsy M.

The Woodlands, TX

"This trip was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. It immersed us in the country, and gave us an unanticipated feel for the bush, its grandeur, its wildlife, its culture. The close association with the Maasai was a special treat, and the ability to explore in open cars and on foot enriched the experience, and left clients of other companies with their mouths agape. When we reflect on the trip, the first word which comes from each of us is ‘wow.’"

Bob K.

Orinda, CA

"What an excellent itinerary. I loved the fly camp, the night game drives, and the walks at Alamana. The "real" Maasai experience we had vs. a canned tourist experience is unforgettable. Loved the camping in Serengeti National Park. I was always comfortable, well fed, and well cared for."

Carol B.

Pacifica, CA

"There were unexpected treats that were great: the two lunches in the bush that had beautiful tables, place settings and fantastic food; having champagne and treats on top of a rock with a view that we hiked to; the visit to the Maasai sacred rock and eating the grilled goat and being with them. The safari itself was fantastic...the added treats were incredible."

Carole C.

Brookline, MA

"Accommodations were unbelievable! Could never have imagined that such delicious meals and plush accommodations would be found in the Serengeti. It was more than I could have ever dreamed of—and the best trip of my life...so far!"

"This bucket list trip was everything and more than I expected. I cannot tell you how much I've enjoyed every minute of it."

Carrie G.

Sturgeon Bay, WI

"This was our first time on safari and it went way beyond any of our expectations for what was to come. Our guides were more than terrific and for our first time in Africa, this trip has us wanting to go back for more. We saw four of the Big Five, but this became secondary to just being on the Serengeti with a half million wildebeests!"

Cathy S.

Santa Cruz, CA

"Best trip of my life. It was always my dream to go to Africa and now I want to broaden my horizons and see more of this great continent."

Cheri M.

Christine S.

Walnut Creek, CA

"Wilderness Travel certainly outdid themselves with this trip. It was the best ever. We knew we would see a variety of animals and birds, but the numbers were beyond our expectations. The accommodations were luxurious, the food was gourmet, the service was attentive and friendly. The staff made sure that this trip would be an experience of a lifetime and never forgotten."

Curt K.

Brainerd, MN

Don P.

Ellen W.

Oakland, CA

"Seeing all the animals in their natural habitat was magical--the loping of the giraffes, the grace of the elephants, the majesty of the lions, the beauty of the cheetahs and leopards, the skittish and beautiful zebras, the hordes of wildebeests, the size of the hippos, the angry looking water buffalo, and the cunning crocodiles! So amazing and the photos bring it all back!"

Faith B.

Faith B.

Brunswick, CO

"The trip was one of a lifetime! It was so fun to spend these 12 days as a family of four. Seeing all the animals in their natural habitat was magical—the loping of the giraffes, the grace of the elephants, the majesty of the lions, the beauty of the cheetahs and leopards, the skittish and beautiful zebras, the hordes of wildebeests, the size of the hippos, the angry looking water buffalo, and the cunning crocodiles! So amazing and the photos bring it all back!"

Faith B.

Brunswick, ME

"This safari was as unique as it was outstanding. Our up-close and personal introductions to the wildlife in a safe and respectful way made me feel privileged to a part of such an awesome adventure."

Joanne M.

North Vancouver, BC

"The accommodations in the private camps were out of this world. It was so surprising how far out in the bush we could be, and yet still feel like we were living the life of luxury. The staff at the private camps was superb; always responding instantly to requests for shower water and escorts to help us safely wander around the camp without fear."

Jobie S.

New York, NY

"Just like every Wilderness Travel experience, this was a well planned, well executed trip headed by top notch leaders, guides, and support staff! Bravo/Brava to the team!!"

Joseph J.

"We really enjoyed the private camps. We saw animals and birds better and closer than ever before and this was our sixth safari! In one outing we saw a leopard in a tree, a lioness on a kopje and a cheetah lying in the grass."

Julia and Vernon S.

River Edge, NJ

"This trip exceeded our expectations. The trip leaders were fabulous, all the accommodations were great, and we certainly ate well. And of course, seeing all the wildlife was beyond belief. We feel so fortunate to have experienced this safari."

"I saved up for five years to make this trip. It was well worth it and I will never forget the people, places, and the overall experience. I'm looking forward to my next Wilderness Travel experience."

Kent P.

"This was a trip of a lifetime and an experience that will never be forgotten. The little surprises along the way, sunset cocktail hours and luncheons in the bush, made it special. Getting the feeling that we were away from the rush of the plethora of other safari tour companies gave us perceived value for having chosen Wilderness Travel."

Kevin H.

Kevin H.

Longview, TX

"Trip of a lifetime! I've been to Kenya and South Africa with other trip providers and never had an interest in going on another safari. However, a friend said that witnessing a migration was so different from an ordinary safari. WT's Tanzania trip far exceeded my expectations. Besides seeing plentiful herds of wildlife, I loved WT's variety of accommodations from lodges to tented camps as well as the wonderful breakfasts and lunches in the bush."

Lee R.

New York, NY

"This was an incredible adventure! Well-planned, well-executed, informative, and fun. The private camps were wonderful and the guides were superb."

Leo and Christine S.

"One of my best trips ever, greatly enhanced by the surprises: out of the dust of the serengeti plain—the formal lunch (linen, silver, glass, chef with toque); and the sunset hike, ending with champagne on top of the kopje!"

Linda N.

Palo Alto, CA

"This was the trip of a lifetime! It was especially meaningful to me because I celebrated my 65th birthday while there and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. They set up our dinner outside, surrounded by tiki torches and lanterns hung in the trees. Dinner was wonderful and they even baked a special birthday cake for me. When the staff sang the Swahili version of a birthday song, it melted my heart. Of course, the sights that we saw over the course of the two weeks were just unbelievable! I learned so much about so many aspects of Tanzania, its people and wildlife. All of this will remain in my heart for many years to come."

Lisa W.

Far Hills, NJ

"The tents were simply amazing, and the camp staff and cooking was top notch. I've never camped in such luxury. Impressive!"

Lynn Z.

"Our trip was flawless. All details were managed beautifully. I still can't believe how good the food was at our two campsites. What came out of such small kitchens was amazing."

Penny A.

Chicago, IL

"This was the best trip I've ever had. Magical is the best way to describe it. Everything was so well planned and executed. The entire staff, especially at the camps, was friendly, courteous and helpful. I also appreciated the cultural aspects of the trip, meeting and learning about the Maasai and the day spent with the Datoga and Fatiha Hadzabe tribes. Thank you for including that aspect for us. The game drives were so much fascinating and fun. Every day we would all wonder how the next day could be any different than the previous one. But somehow it always was. Great job!! "

Rob R.

"It was a wonderful trip: the guides were superb, the accommodations very comfortable, and the itinerary was beautifully organized. It delivered everything that was promised, and I learned a great deal on what was my very first safari. Thank you for everything!"

Robert B.

New York, NY

"This trip was beyond our highest expectations."

Sandra P.

Blue Bell, PA

"The Serengeti is an amazing place and WT provided the perfect trip. Our guides were top notch; the support staff were wonderful. I loved all the special things like picnics in the bush and champagne at sunset. This trip surpassed all my expectations and gave me the experience of a lifetime. I was a little apprehensive about going to Africa, but knowing Wilderness Travel's reputation made it easier for me and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be back. Wonderful!"

Sandy M.

Harrisburg, PA

"Many people have told me that going on safari has been their favorite trip of all. Now that I have gone on my first safari with Wilderness Travel I understand what they mean. I didn't enter a single museum or cathedral, but I witnessed something much more moving and emotional—the circle of life in the bush of Tanzania that predates all the museums and cathedrals in the world."

Skip M.

Lafayette, CA

Skip M.

Lafayette, CA

"An extraordinary experience. We traveled as a family with three teenage daughters (14, 16, 19) and the trip to Tanzania exceeded all our expectations. The naturalist guides were wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, patient—and could spot, and identify, animals hundreds of yards away. The tent camps were very special—private picturesque settings, comfortable sleeping arrangements, outstanding staff and service, amazing food (truly amazing, given how remote we were), and easy access to boundless animals for morning and late afternoon drives. I do not know how Wilderness Travel could have organized and orchestrated a better adventure in Tanzania. We will all remember this trip for the rest of our lives."

Steve D.

Danville, CA

"The trip was outstanding. Well designed itinerary, great camp sites and extremely nice and informative guides. Great food, especially at the two camps—we were all asking for a few of the recipes!"

Steve H.

Verona, WI

"What an exceptional itinerary, safari, and camping experience! The different parks highlighted different animals and the biodiversity and majesty of the region. The volume of animals is extraordinary and our guides did a great job of finding things that few others would find (cheetahs on the hunt! cheetah cubs! lion cubs by themselves!). I'll never forget how moving seeing these animals in their natural habitat was. The bush camps were exceptional—brings new meaning to ‘glamping!’ Being able to stay in the bush in comfort really magnified the overall excellence of the safari."

Steve S.

San Francisco, CA

"I’ve traveled around the world and been on many tours. This trip is the very best I’ve ever experienced. In short: Wilderness Travel has the best agendas, trains and keeps the very best guides, and offers the ultimate in adventure travel."

Susan C.

La Jolla, CA

"The trip exceeded my expectations. The guides were incredible (they saw animals where I only saw bushes). The accommodations were perfect and the food was delicious and healthy. We saw so many animals and the guides were so knowledgeable."

Susan C.

Susan S.

Suzanne L.

Norwich, VT

"All the planning, all the money in the world does not make for an excellent trip. It's all a matter of the guides and staff. To that end, WT has the creme de la creme. From Mzee on down to the water carriers, everyone was professional, friendly, helpful, and competent."

Suzette N.

New Orleans, LA

"This entire experience allowed us to return home with spirits soaring. Many times I needed to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming. We were blessed from beginning to the very end."

Wayne M.

Morrison, CO

"Everything was first class and well thought out. The staff covered every detail and were always on hand to provide service. Lots of surprises such as evening sunset watching in the savanna and the staff providing birthday celebrations with cake, song, and dance. And they can really dance! Our three guides, Mzee, Victor, and Mac, could answer any question presented to them and went out of the way to find close viewing areas for wildlife, mostly just us and not other safari groups. It all exceeded expectations."

William G.

Celebration, FL

"The trip was outstanding in every way, exceeding our (already high) expectations! Animals, guides, service, attention to detail, food...everything was wonderful!"
