26.12.12 – 14 days in the African Bush

We had started to communicate with Aafeez Jivraj, after a good friend of ours gave us his contact. We did a safari to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro International Airport on time, spent the night in Arusha at Mt Meru Hotel. The next morning Aafeez came to see us to brief us about the whole safari. In camp we heard hyenas, jackal, herds of wildebeest and a Leopard ‘s grunt at night. It was all very exciting and an adventure that truly took us back in time how camping was like back in the 1930’s. The food in camp was even better than that in the lodges. We lost count on the wild animals that we saw!!! The migration was spectacular! At Ngorongoro Crater was great seeing rhino that was missing from the big 5 in the Serengeti. I would recommend Serengeti-Mara Fly Camps / Tanzania Private Select Safaris any time. Hugo was our driver guide and he was flexible. Our biggest complaint to Aafeez was there was too much food in Camp! The safari was well prepared. Thank you for a great vacation. We will be back with our friends in 2014 so that you can spoil us even more.

15.10.12 – We collected many unforgettable memories

Thanks a million for everything!
We were totally happy with our travels. We really liked the lodges and our driver Godson He was very courteous and took care of us at all times. We enjoyed talking to him about different topics. He was very into nature and he was able to tell us about every animal. He also told us a lot about the culture and traditions of Tanzania.
On the safari we had a good blend between Lodge and tent accommodation. It was an unbelievable experience. Listening to the many animal noises sleeping in our tended camps was so different waking up in a wonderful hotel room above the Ngorongoro cater and watch the sunrise. Both experiences were fantastic. We saw “the big five” and collected many unforgettable memories.

13.09.12 – Thank you Aafeez for a Great Safari

Thank you Aafeez for a Great Safari.
Thank you for being our Guide for the last 7 days.
We loved your instincts when we were on Game Drives.
Taking us all the way to The Mara River in Serengeti North.
Your predictions were accurate and we saw the Great Migration. The timing was just superb.
You drove us from Arusha to Manyara to Ngorongoro to Serengeti for 4 days 2 days in Lobo and 2 days in Seronera and then you dropped us at Ramadi so that we could take a bus to Mwanza.
We have never seen so many animals, which included 2 kills (cats killing prey for food). We enjoyed the Cheetah. I do not know how you do it! You stop, observe animal postures then take your huge binoculars out and scan the area for some thing unusual.
Thank you for being so flexible on this great Adventure of ours. Msuya was great cook.
The food he prepared for us 3 was just great.
Hope to see you soon.

26.06.12 – This safari was just great for us

Thank you so much for a great safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
We were very pleased with our driver guide Danni and our cook Msuya. The Food was very good.
Danni drove very safely compared to the OTHER DRIVERS that we saw on the road to Serengeti who drove like maniacs (they call them the Serengeti Boys) these are inexperienced driver guides for other companies who just know how to drive like crazy.
Danni our driver was very knowledgeable in birds and wild animals. He was very passionate about nature and he would stop at the right moments so we could take photos. This was just great for us. The Tents were very comfortable and the campgrounds that we stayed at were very good. We really enjoyed it very much.
All in all we have had a great safari and will recommend TPSSL to any one who wants to do safari in Tanzania Northern Circuit

26.06.12 – A wonderful trip up Kilimanjaro

We had a wonderful trip up Kili – Machame Route 6 days
Our guide was Ezekeil. His English was good and he was good fun as well.
The Porters were fantastic. They always beat us to camp (despite a fairly brisk pace) with the mountain bags & still looked happy to see us on arrival to camp. The whole team worked well together. The food was phenomenal. Everyone was helpful when one of our group members was unwell with D+V. We all made it to the top (The Roof of Africa) FANTASTIC!!!!!
Thank you so much to the team for making our dream come true to reach the summit!!!!
If you do Machame Route Do 7 days. The 6 days is a killer. We are so happy that we did 7 days as recommended.

23.06.12 – 6 days 5 nights incredible safari

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 days 5 nights safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater with Tanzania Private Select Safaris. Our Guide Dickson has incredible knowledge and understanding of the landscapes and its creatures. We observed amazing African Animals in the wild, a time that we will never forget. We especially appreciated the care taken by the company to make us feel welcome and to take care of us. We have had a wonderful adventure with Tanzania Private Select Safaris The time taken by Mike (Tanzania Private Select Safaris) to ensure us that we had wonderful lodges and fabulous views were appreciated.

15.06.12 – Enjoyed every bit of it

5 days safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Empakai Crater and Olmoti Crater. I joined another group. The driver guide Godson made the trip very enjoyable. Will strongly advise walking one day of the safari for clients who are doing more than 5 days safari. Overall I enjoyed every bit of it and was worth an experience. P.S join the petition against the Serengeti Highway!!!! I just did.

08.05.12 – Fantastic trip

Thank you for a great trip. We had a great driver guide Dickson.
He knew where the animals were. The camping experience was very interesting with the animal around the camp. Especially the lions at night (it was Africa at its best). Spending 3 nights in Serengeti National Park was just perfect (I will recommend this to fellow travellers) fewer days would have not been enough. We also saw the Great Migration heading towards the Western Corridor. Never seen so many animals on the move at one time. We have had a Fantastic trip
Thank you Mike, Aafeez, Dickson and our bush cook Msuya.

Thank you so much and I wont forget this. I will for sure recommend you once I get back home
Once again thank you so much!!!!

12.02.12 – We shall NEVER forget

It was not the destination that we chose from Italy!
High need of vacation anyway and a budget flight to Zanzibar
But here we are and want to take advantage of the most that is possible in Tanzania.
So we got a recommendation from a fellow Italian in Zanzibar for Tanzania Private Select Safaris
We called them from Zanzibar. The Safari was a great experience, a different style of life compared to busy Milan. Wonderful animals that we shall never forget!!!
When back in Italy we shall definitely recommend Tanzania Private Select Safaris to fellow Italians and especially to our Travel Agent who organized our flight to Zanzibar.
Keep up your wonderful safari work that you are doing. You are an open book and you keep your cards on the table unlike other companies that we have visited when we were shopping around in Arusha. Your office is truly a safari office. Thank you once again for every thing
