What an experience! - Emmanuel Manga was outstanding! We were able to see elephants, lions and cheetahs up close (this list is not all-inclusive, but these were my faves). He was great at finding the spots where they would be - and would anticipate were they were heading to get ahead of them. Even when there were several buses in the way - he had a way of working his way through the crowd to give us the best views and experience!

Amazing wildlife and great guide - Our guide was Emanuel Manga. He’s a great driver and would always get us in front of the crowd to see the animals. Could also answer any question we asked. The wildlife we saw was amazing and we got so close to a cheetah mum with two cubs! Food was also great (they also cater to vegetarians but there isn’t as much variety if you are veggie). Cooks were lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Wildlife Abounds - Emmanuel Manga was our driver. He was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure we got a good view of the animals. We were able to see cheetahs up close, which I've heard is rare! We were also able to see lions up close and hyenas, elephants, warthogs, flamingos,hippos, black rhinos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and so much more. Emmanuel is great at spotting wildlife and at following tips from other guides to get to get good views of animals before it gets too crowded with other safari vehicles. He's very knowledgeable and told all of us about animal behavior etc. He's very professional and a good driver.

Excellent safari! - We spent 4 days on safari with Daniel as our driver and guide. We had a wonderful time visiting Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Daniel is very knowledgeable about all the animals and birds (he knew the name of every one we saw!), their habitat, breeding, and behavior. Daniel was also excellent at finding animals - we saw more lions than I can count, and had a wonderful encounter with a group of elephants who came up close to us. He is also enjoyable to be around, and he helped keep our two teenagers engaged and happy. SafariHQ planned our entire itinerary from arrival in Nairobi, safari in Masai Mara, the two safaris already mentioned in Tanzania, all the lodging, transport and meals. Everything was nicely done and well coordinated. Even when I accidentally left a bag in Kenya, they coordinated with everyone to get it to me the following day in Tanzania. We highly recommend them!

Safari extraordinaire - The game and views were amazing- like entering another world. Emanuel was a fantastic driver, I felt very safe. He was an excellent guide, he was responsive to our needs and we were first to head out on the game drive! He was very organised and on time. William our cook was clean with the food preparation and we had plenty of food. Thanks guys!

Amazing safari - If you get a choice ask for Emanuel and William by name. They are the best and other guides look to them as role models. This was a life changing experience and Emanuel and William made this possible. The food was amazing and plentiful. You can tell this crew have been doing this for some time as it runs smoothly and efficiently. We were often the first to see animals due to local knowledge and not spending time with inexperienced guides. They still have the joy of sharing the thrill of seeing amazing animals and the knowledge they have is unchallenged. The driving is also first class as the roads are often muddy and difficult to navigate. We saw all we wanted and more and nothing was a bother about stopping to photograph ANOTHER Lion or elephant.
