Tranquil Safaris Reviews and Ratings
Kenya and Tanzania twelve days, first safari and last safari
I used the phrase first and last safari with my husband because we were certain that after twelve days with Tranquil Safaris nothing would improve on it. Guide Simon in Kenya and guide Thomas in Tanzania were individually excellent but also consistent in their approach, which suggested the operator had trained or selected them for a similar standard. The Masai Mara balloon flight on day four gave a perspective on the landscape that grounded all the subsequent game drives. The Ngorongoro Crater on day ten closed the circuit with a near-perfect wildlife day.
Uganda and Rwanda ten days, every activity distinctly different
Tranquil Safaris a construit un itineraire Ouganda Rwanda qui alternait les activites plutot que de les regrouper. Les gorilles de Bwindi le troisieme jour, les chimpanzes de Kibale le cinquieme, la balade en canot sur le canal Kazinga le sixieme, et les gorilles des Virunga le neuvieme. Ce rythme a evite la lassitude qui peut survenir quand on fait plusieurs treks similaires de suite. La guide Emmanuel aux Virunga a presente les gorilles de la famille Sabyinyo en detail avant le trek avec des photos individuelles de chaque animal.
Tanzania three weeks, the southern circuit was most impressive
Tranquil Safaris bouwde een drie-weken Tanzania reisplan dat het noordelijke circuit combineerde met de zuidelijke parken Ruaha en Selous. Thomas was de gids voor het noorden en David voor het zuiden. Ruaha bleek het meest onderscheidende onderdeel van de reis. Het wild in Ruaha gedraagt zich anders dan in de noordelijke parken omdat het toerisme lager is en de dieren minder gewend zijn aan voertuigen. Dat creeerde een eerlijker gevoel van wildheid dan de Serengeti op een drukke dag in augustus kan bieden.
Kenya Laikipia Plateau, completely different from the Mara
Tranquil Safaris recommended the Laikipia Plateau after I explained I had already visited the Masai Mara twice. The private conservancies of Laikipia permit activities that national parks do not: walking safaris, night drives, and fly-camping. Guide Simon led a three-hour walking safari through the Ol Pejeta Conservancy on the second morning, which required a different kind of attentiveness than a game drive. Moving through lion territory on foot changes the nature of the experience in a way that is worth understanding before deciding that standard game drives are sufficient.
Tanzania in October, Ruaha and Mikumi, something completely different
Tranquil Safaris designed a Tanzania southern circuit covering Ruaha and Mikumi that I had not found recommended by any other operator I consulted. The southern circuit receives under ten percent of Tanzania tourist traffic and the absence of other vehicles on the game drives was immediately apparent. Guide David in Ruaha knew the resident wild dog pack territory and positioned us at a den site on the afternoon of day two when the adults returned to feed the pups. Wild dog pup feeding is one of the most kinetic and socially complex events in African wildlife and we watched it for seventy minutes without another vehicle present.
Masai Mara photography safari, excellent guiding throughout
I booked a photography-specific safari with Tranquil Safaris and the guide David positioned the vehicle with the light in mind in a way I had not experienced on previous African trips. He anticipated that a cheetah on a termite mound near the Talek River would hold the position into the golden hour and we waited two hours until the light was right. The cheetah remained on the mound for the entire period. The Angama Mara lodge contributed the dawn balloon flight over the Mara Triangle on day three, which gave aerial perspective that ground-level photography cannot achieve.
Tanzania fly-in to Ruaha, best decision of the trip
Tranquil Safaris included a charter flight from Dar es Salaam to the Ruaha airstrip rather than the road transfer, which converted a six-hour road journey into a thirty-five-minute flight over the Ruaha River and the park. Guide David met us at the airstrip and the first game drive began immediately. By 11am on the first morning we had seen elephant, lion, kudu, and the rare wild dog pack that is resident in the Mwagusi area. Tranquil Safaris charged a premium for the charter and it was worth the difference.
Tanzania perfect week, Ngorongoro and Serengeti
Il cratere del Ngorongoro ha una concentrazione di fauna che non ha equivalenti in nessun altro posto che ho visitato in Africa. La guida Thomas ha identificato tutti e cinque i rinoceronti neri presenti nel cratere su una mappa aggiornata ogni mattina dalla direzione del parco. Nel Serengeti siamo stati al campo Singita Sabora nella zona centrale e la densita di predatori era straordinaria. In tre giorni abbiamo visto ventisette differenti avvistamenti di felini. Tranquil Safaris ha curato ogni dettaglio logistico senza che dovessi occuparmi di nulla.
Masai Mara and Ngorongoro, classic East Africa done properly
Tranquil Safaris confirmed what I had suspected from reading trip reports: the difference between a well-guided and a poorly-guided visit to the Masai Mara is the difference between seeing three lions sleeping at distance and spending a morning watching a family group hunting and feeding. Guide David at Sala’s Camp was in that second category. The Ngorongoro Crater delivered on the reputation it has built over seventy years of wildlife tourism. Thomas had the crater in excellent condition with seven black rhino sightings over two full days inside the crater.
Kenya two weeks, Laikipia plus Mara plus Amboseli
Tranquil Safaris built a two-week Kenya itinerary that I had spent four months researching and they matched the itinerary to my brief precisely. The Laikipia leg at Ol Pejeta was three nights and included the rhino sanctuary visit and a full-day game drive that produced the Laikipia-specific species. The Masai Mara was timed for the second week when the wildebeest had crossed from Tanzania and were present in the Mara Triangle in large numbers. Amboseli on the final three days gave the elephant and Kilimanjaro experience that I had specifically prioritised.
