Lodge Safari , August
2011
« What a wounderful safari we experienced ! Starting
right away at the pick up point at the aiport, we connected with our
fantastic guide Athunami. From that moment, to the end of our safari
tour, we felt secur and well taken care. We saw numerous animals many
other tourists did not see, thanks to Atunami who has an extraordinary
knowledge of the fauna and flora of Tanzania. I invite any Canadian to
book with Fay Safari, you will not be desapointed».

Lodge Safari, Zanzibar Beach Holiday ,
July 2011
Thank you for
arranging the BEST holiday ever !!! The 10 fabulous, unforgettable days on
Safari with Athumani- our fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, charming,
wonderful guide who looked after us brilliantly from woe to go. We saw the
big five and the other ninety five, up close and personal. (watching a
crocodile take a zebra was a great moment).The balloon trip was great. The
accommodation you arranged was just the right mix, from wilderness
experience to luxury. The 6 days on days on Zanzibar were glorious .(I
guess you secretly arranged the ???unplanned??? swim with dolphins on our
snorkeling trip as well ?) Thank you for listening to our list of wants
and despite our tight budget you managed to make them all come true.

Kilimanjaro (7 days, Machame route) and Lodge Safari
(5 days) June 2011
We are just back from
2 weeks Tanzania. A wonderful country for adventure and Safari. With great
help of Fay Safaris we booked the Machama route, climbing the Kili and
experienced a lodge Safari.
Climbing the
Kilimanjaro was amazing, such a great adventure and a big relief at the
top. During the route we had 2 great guides, Sam and Elly. Especially on
summit day they were really helpful! These 7 days were one big adventure,
but with the 2 guides and the rest of the crew (in total 9 people) we
really were able to do this climbing quite easily.
After the first day
we were already above the clouds and enjoyed the views and the sun.
Sleeping in a tent is not our daily business, but within 2 days it felt
comfortable. The staff listened very good to our wishes and needs. The
meals during our trekking were very tasteful, although our appetite was
not very good. Reaching the summit, we both made it (!), was wonderful and
the view was magnificent.
The Lodge safari was
very relaxing and during the 5 days we saw the big 5. With our very nice
and helpful guide, Vincent, we visited 4 national parks. And all parks had
some uniqueness'. Sleeping in the luxurious lodges was a big relief after
one week in a tent. The lodges were very nice and the people were really
helpful. Visiting Serengeti and Ngorongoro was just wonderful, watching
leopards, elephants and lions is a privilege. Doing a game drive is a
really must-do in Serengeti. In Tarangire we saw a lot of giraffes and
elephants, in lake Manyara we spotted thousands of flamingo’s. After 5
days we went back to the airport and flew back home, our honeymoon was
over. A unforgettable trip for us thanks to all the help of Fay safaris.

In
early March 2011 we went as a group of 3 on a Tanzania northern parks safari
with Fay Safaris. It was a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend Fay
Safaris. Before we settled on Fay Safaris, we had researched and been in
correspondence with many companies. We went with Fay because she stood out in
her correspondence in that she quickly grasped what we wanted and matched it
within our budget, while giving her inputs based on experience when
appropriate. When we arrived, the staff helped us track down our lost luggage
and treated us with warm hospitality. Even though we went with the budget
camping safari, the camping standards far exceeded our expectations. The
campsites were much nicer than expected, and the ‘cook’ is a misnomer because
Aaron was a trained chef! Our driver-guide, Vincent, was one of the nicest and
most knowledgeable people we’ve met. Fay Safaris also planned a lovely Zanzibar
excursion for us. Fay Safaris is a small family-owned company, with excellent
staff. As such, we received lots of personal attention, and would highly
recommend Fay Safaris for a quality and pleasurable vacation.

I had a great time on
my 2 day safari to Arusha National Park. Despite being on my own for this part
of my holiday, my driver Vincent was good company and I felt that 2 days was a
good period of time to spend in the park to allow me to go on a walking safari
and a canoe safari. Vincent had good knowledge of the area and gave me adequate
time to enjoy the views and the nature. The guides I had for the walking safari
and canoe safari were also very knowledgeable and I felt safe, even being so
close to buffaloes and hippos! The accommodation was more than adequate as were
meals.
Thank you for giving me some good ideas for a short solo safari and organizing
my safari with some adjustments due to the wet weather! I will certainly
recommend Fay Safaris to future African adventurers!

We had a
great time and would recommend you for the future. We were well looked
after and the food was great! We saw everything we wanted to see and
much much more. Our guide and cook were very knowledgeable about the
area and knew where to find the animals.

Hi Fay,
For some reason I
can no longer leave feedback on the TATO website! So I’m very
sorry for having delayed so long to give you feedback. We had an amazing
time, with some fantastic highlights. Including witnessing a leopard
hunt and successfully capture a wildebeest and watching a family of
elephants trundle across the Ngorongoro from the viewpoint through the
binoculars. It’s definitely one to remember! Please find attached some
photos of our trip. I’ll let you know when we are coming to climb some
mountains!
Best regards,
Edward

Baltimore,
Maryland ( USA ) : Kilimanjaro Climb & Camping Safari
September 2010
Fay Safari did a fantastic job planning and providing my group this
unforgettable trip. First, we did a seven day hike up the Machame Route of
Kilimanjaro. It was difficult, but due to the experience of our guides, Sam and
Aaron, all five of us made it to the top at 7:30am on October 2, 2010.
Next we did a four day, three night safari through Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and
Ngorongoro Crater. These were all amazing, but we got the closest to the
wildlife in the Crater. Our guide, Vincent, answered all the questions we had
about wildlife and at night we taught him how to play Gin Rummy!
All the guides and porters were great. The food was good. The tents and
equipment were in good shape. The safari vehicle was large and very rugged.
All in all it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this trip to
anyone interested in a rugged, exciting, and ultimately rewarding trip. I also
highly recommend having Fay Safari be the company to provide such an experience.
Sincerely,
Scott Christman

We choose Fay Safaris because in
our year-long experience small, local companies are much better compared
to the bigger ones: personalized service and attention to the customer and
to all small details that make the difference. Even a call from time to
time to check if we were satisfied with all services provided (!)
The booking process was
attentive to our whishes. The program included some different
adventures that citizens usually don’t include in their trips:
climbing to the first hut on the way to the Kilimanjaro, meeting the
bushmen and other tribes, etc.
The quality and service at the
lodges met - or was even over our expectations. Duncan, our professional
and extremely friendly guide, willing to help us to fulfill our passion
for pictures and patient enough to wait for hours for the perfect shot.…
what else? A bit of luck, maybe, that made it possible to regularly see
the big five and all kind of animals.
In conclusion we warmly
recommend Fay Safaris to any guest who simply wants the best at reasonable
prices.

Herzlichen Dank fuer die perfekte Organisation und Abwicklung meiner
Tanzaniareise. Es hat wirklich alles gestimmt. die Besteigung des
Kilimanjaro war perfekt und erfolgreich, dank eines tollen Teams und eines
sehr erfahrenen und umsichtigen Guides. Die Safari durch die verschiedenen
Nationalparks war ebenfalls perfekt organisiert, wir hatten auch das
Glueck, fast alle Tiere zu sehen. Unserem Fahrer gilt ebenfalls mein Dank.
Er war immer fuer uns da und hat uns viel erklaert. Die Unterbringung war
klasse, insbesondere die Karamalodge ist sehr zu empfehlen. Ich werde
bestimmt wieder kommen, vielleicht fuer eine zweite Besteigung des Kili,
die Organisation der Reise werde ich dann wieder dem Team von Fay Safarai
ueberlasssen. Asante Sana, Bettina

Hot greetings from cold and rainy Poland!
I have reach Poland without any problems. In my country autumn is coming. After
my wonderful journey to Tanzania it is a big change. Every day I come back to my
memories and photos from my beautiful travel. Thanks to your Company I could
visit various regions of your Country. From Dar-e-Salaam, vibrant with life,
calm Bagamoyo, aromatic Zanzibar to wonderful nature in Ruaha, Manyara,
Serengeti and Ngorongoro Park. Small villages, smiling and polite people,
beautiful children . Amazing animals in their natural habitat, plants (mystic
baobabs , acacias as umbrellas ,colorful bougainvilleas......) ,. Never-ending
open spaces. Sun and blue sky, full of stars and with Milky Way at night.
Wonderful voices of cicadas, birds, elephants.... Calm Indian Ocean with
beautiful fishes, warm onshore wind.......Where is a paradise? I think there is
in Tanzania!
I thank you very much for your hospitality. Unforgettable evening at your home,
Yvette! I felt safe and relax. I was pleased with standard of hotels and food .
All my guides were qualified. I really spent very nice vacation !
In near future I will arrange "African evening" at my home and tell my family
and friends about your Country.
I have selected some of my photos and recorded them on CD. I will send the CD to
you tomorrow.
I would like to visit Tanzania again, but this time just after raining season. I
hope to fulfill my dream with your Company!
I greet you heartily, hope to see you again. From the bottom of my heart,
Barbara Matuszak from Poland.
Sorry for my English, but you know it is very kidogo. I promise to improve
