 Verified A better experience with Michael Shayo I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael Shayo at Explore Green Africa safaris! He took such good care of us and always had a bright smile on his face! He was punctual every time he picked us up or brought us somewhere. He kept a cooler stocked full of water and soda and brought us small snacks to make sure we were always well supplied. I have nothing but positive things to say about Explore Green Africa safaris and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania.

 Verified We had an amazing time on safari We had an amazing time on safari with Explore Green African Safaris Campany, the Team was very knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. We saw a lot of amazing sights all thanks to him (as we only managed to spot pumbas instead of cats ourselves!) In particular he was very skilled at driving during the difficult wet conditions we had in the Serengeti. Asante sana, Explore Green African Safaris Team.

 Verified Comfortable and had the experience we were looking for I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Explore Green Africa safaris Team! From the first moment when he picked us up in Arusha, he was kind and informative. We were on a 6-day safari, and every day he went to great lengths to make sure we were comfortable and had the experience we were looking for. We saw all but a rhino from what we wanted to see and always felt we were in safe hands in every situation. I would recommend Explore Green Africa safaris team for sure!

In short, a wonderful experience with the best service and all the team are supper. I can without a doubt give my warmest recommendation for this. However, this went great, so even if you need to do so, do not hesitate to choose Explore Green Africa safari, driver, and host in Tanzania.
