Recently we were lucky enough to travel for 2 weeks to the beautiful
country of Tanzania. We were also lucky enough to find a Tour company
called "Wonders of Creation" that provided us with the trip of a life time
to the most amazing locations in the beautiful but mainly untouched
Southern region of the country. The company and its staff were truly
amazing with everyone from the director to the driver being friendly,
helpful and extremely efficient.
The team at Wonders of Creation worked with us at all times from our
initial emails of interest to achieve our needs and desires to fulfill a
journey that wasn't full of tourists like the Northern circuits. It proved
to be exactly what we wanted and we would highly recommend the Southern
tour as the trip of a lifetime without all the cheesy tourist traps. Our
journey started with us witnessing the amazing beasts and creatures of the
largest game reserve in Africa-Selous whilst staying in amazing cabins on
the Rufiji river at Mbega camp. From there we travelled to the beautiful
Kilwa Seaside where we enjoyed a Dhow trip to an island full of beautiful
relics. The accommodation at the Kilwa Seaview resort was exactly what was
required after some busy days exploring the local villages and beaches in
the area whilst enjoying an array of activities as well. From here we
travelled to the beautiful Mikindani Bay an area that we immediately fell
in love with and also the great people of the village. This was the
perfect end to a perfect tour.
We'd be lying if we didn't say we were concerned about paying the initial
deposit to a company we hadn't heard of before but the risk was well worth
it and we would highly recommend if you are looking for a trustworthy
company with the experience and knowledge of the whole of Tanzania to book
with these guys. It will be the best money you will ever spend and it will
be a truly rewarding experience.
Thanks again Wonders of Creation. We can't wait to come back and see you
and Tanzania again.
Thanks

Comments: We were and still are
really enthusiastic about our
holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar and
we want to post our good
experiences.
First of all, the co-operation with
this operator in Arusha and the
services offered by them were really
very, very good. Everything - and I
mean everything - was really
perfectly organized and worked out
100% well!
-Reception at Nairobi airport,
transfer to hotel and to Arusha on
the next day
-8 days of wonderful safari on our
own with Huruma, our perfect driver,
tour guide and who became our friend
during these days. The national
parks we visited (Lake Manyara,
Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire)
are really fantastic and Huruma
presented to us so many animals and
unforgettable impressions of pure
Africa!
- the lodges chosen by us and/or
recommended are very nice with
perfect service, nice rooms/tents
and good food.
- the flight to Zanzibar and the
hotel in Stowntown were perfect. The
local agent - a partner of this
operator - perfectly organized all
transfers and hotel check-ins in
Zanzibar and we had very relaxing
days at the Resort.
We would like to express our thanks
to the operator and all their
partners. Due to their engagement we
spent a fantastic 2,5 weeks vacation
in a very nice country. The
combination of safari in perhaps
Africa's most impressive national
parks and the impressions of the
spice island Zanzibar is a must and
can only be recommended.
If you make your arrangements with
them you are really well off!

Comments: I had a great time with
this tour operator. They are a small
tour company based in Arusha, with
friendly staff, and were always
prompt and reliable. Simon had
everything organised when I arrived,
and ensured that I was looked after.
I did the 14 day Wildlife Safari and
Zanzibar Beach Holiday - the parks
in Tanzania were wonderful, and the
accommodation was excellent. My
photos of the wildlife turned out
great. My tour guide was always
happy to go places that we wanted to
go to, over and above the set game
drive.
Zanzibar was also a highlight. Ali
looked after me in Zanzibar, with
tours that I wanted to do. I would
recommend this operator, as a
friendly operator for small groups
of people.

Comments: I am delighted to provide
you my evaluation of the recent trip
we took in Tanzania and Zanzibar. I
am totally satisfied with the tour
and I would like to state that this
is one of our most memorable trip we
have taken.
The Company delivered everything as
stated/promised. There was nothing
short-changed. The Company was most
trustworthy.
The quality of the service was
excellent. The four-wheel-drive
vehicle was reliable. Our
driver/guide was a very experienced
person who was actually a ranger
serving in Serengeti National Park
for many years. He spotted animals
quickly and explained to us the
habits of
various animals, etc. He is a
knowledgeable guy. Our driver/guide
also kept the vehicle clear. You can
imaging everyday after a long-day of
safari going through winding dirt
roads, the vehicle was always dirty
and muddy. Our driver washed the
vehicle and presented us a clean car
every morning.
The Company!/s arrangement for us
our tour in Zanzibar was also
superb. They made sure that our
accommodations were all arranged
properly.
I did some comparison of the
expenses incurred for this trip with
some possible alternatives,
particularly some other tour
operators in USA. Actually, there is
no comparison. I paid much less and
obtain the same or even higher
quality service as
advertised in many tour operators in
USA.
I would recommend the Africa Guide
and the Company without any
reservations to all my friends.

Comments: It is nice to hear from
you again and also a good chance to
go back to the fantastic holiday I
shared with my friends in Tanzania.
Our itinerary in Africa was
Nairobi-Arusha-Lake Manyara-Lake
Natron-Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Tarangire-Zanzibar.
We loved every aspect of it from the
very beginning: the beautiful and
breath-taking landscapes, the
animals roaming freely in the parks
which we could have watched for
hours, the magical starry nights
spent in the tented camps, the walks
along the white-sand beaches and the
spice tour in Zanzibar, Stone Town,
the sweet and gentle people we met.
We found time also for some trekking
and swimming in the river under a
waterfall.
They provided us with fairly good
services: they took us to all the
sites we had asked them to and
managed to solve some problems on
the way (my luggage, which was
missing at our arrival at Nairobi
airport, had to be transferred and
delivered to me some days later at
Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge!). Due to
some damage caused to the Land
Cruiser we were driving on by the
awful roads' condition, on the third
day we had to change car and, much
to our disappointment , say good-bye
to our appreciated guide Huruma, who
was anyway replaced by another
driver the morning after.
We wish to thank you once again for
your assistance since we first
contacted you.
I hope I shall have the chance to
organize another journey through
your agency.
Best regards.

Comments: We recently have returned
from a trip with this company to
Kenya & Tanzania.
I wanted to tell you that the
organization was spot on the choice
of hotels/lodges was excellent as
were the guides who look after us.
We can't sing the praises high
enough of this company.
First class.

Comments: Our trip with them was a
complete success, they were very
prompt in replying to my initial
inquiry and all follow up requests
for clarification, to the point that
I made a firm booking at very short
notice.
We travelled out 10 days after the
initial inquiry and all the
arrangements were in place. We
really took a bit of a leap into the
unknown and were pleasantly
surprised at the level of service;
our driver Guide & cook were both
excellent, in terms of competence
and personality, nothing was too
much trouble.
The vehicle (Toyota land cruiser)
was well maintained and comfortable.
The camping equipment was good (tent
did not leak). We were well advised
to take good sleeping bags; the
night temperature on the Ngorongoro
crater was about 4 deg C. The game
viewing was all that we hoped for,
the Leopard memorable.
The Tanzanian are a friendly amiable
people, easy to take to & the
scenery spectacular I would not
hesitate to recommend this company,
if they can do it they will.
