An unbelievable time, one in a million! - We had an unbelievable time. Was one amazing thing after another. We saw the big 5 thanks to our awesome guide, Silas. He put his heart into getting us to see everything, and his depth of knowledge and experience added so much. You are the best Silas! Also a huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it was it was, from the amazing cooks, especially Richard, thanks for the extra warm sleeping bag, to the tent putter uppers, and all the support staff that made our holiday so special!

Incredible safari with knolwedgable Omar - We did 5-days budget safari with a guide Omar. Tarangire, 2 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our tour was incredible, with all the amazing animals. Omar is an awesome and knowledgeable guide, with over 16 years of experience. He spotted all the animals for us, sometimes I thought he has a super vision because he saw everything even hiding in high grass. He showed us everything from a close but respectable distance and gave us many informations about all the animals. He answered all questions and beyond. We saw plenty of zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, many different lions (even with young ones), cheetahs (also with cubs), leopards, crocodiles, hyenas, serval, many many hippos, monkeys, lovely pink flamingos and finally rhinos (also with a baby). We even witnessed hyenas hunting. Our car was very comfortable, we always had cold water, beers and even wine for lunch and dinner. The car had a pop up roof so we could see wildlife without obstacles. Food was fresh and delicious, with variety of vegetables, protein and rice or potatoes. Was always set nice with tablecloth, normal plates and silverware (compared to other companies giving out lunchboxes). Camping by Ngorongoro crater as comfortable with big tents and beautiful views in the morning. Some days we could hear wildlife at night. The whole experience was an unforgettable and so much better than we could possibly imagine. I recommend Omar to everyone!

Unforgettable stay - Everything was sumptuous, very beautiful landscapes, we spent 5 days in 4 completely different national parks with a variety of landscapes. In the company of two different guides over the 5 days, Mayeleti, very friendly and attentive, who answered all our questions, taught us a lot of things, as for Fred, he is a professional guide from all points of view, we can say the best, super nice, available, we can give him a nickname Shumaker! We enjoyed the Serengeti, and particularly the Ngorongoro Crater which is a breathtaking place. The agency met our expectations and contributed to giving us an unforgettable trip, without forgetting to thank Jacqueline who was incredibly efficient.

Amazing Safari Tour - My friends and I did a five-day safari tour in Tanzania and it was an unforgettable adventure. The landscapes of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater revealed stunning wildlife scenes, from lions, elephants, zebras, monkeys to giraffes and many more animals. Our guide Omary with an unparalleled knowledge of the region, made the experience truly exceptional. Their expertise in tracking animals and sharing captiva stories enhanced every moment. The accommodation and camping places were comfortable, and the overall organization was seamless. The local food was also amazing. This safari not only showcased Tanzania's natural wonders but also left us in awe of our guide's passion and dedication. Highly recommend for a remarkable safari experience. Book a tour with a guide Omary.

5 day Safari Tanzania - 5/5 for a budget trip. Price was in range with other people we spoke to doing similar trips. Our guide Omar in particular was excellent. Chatty and knowledgeable, as well as most importantly an excellent driver it what are really difficult conditions. He really made every effort to maximise and personalise the experience. Food was hearty and filling and never lacking in portions- it was budget not luxury. Accomodation again was totally fine for budget, even got a lodge with a private room/bathroom for 2 nights rather then all camping. Go with the right mindset and you'll have a blast.

Amazing Safari! - We had an amazing time in the national parks! Our guide, Omary, had a great knowledge about everything and could answer any question about Tanzania and it‘s animals. We had good lodges/campsites and had fresh prepared meals everyday. The whole tour was well thought out and we would definitley book our tour again with Omary!

ASANTA SANA ASSAT AND DAVID :) - These days of Safari with Assat and David have been INCREDIBLE. We have felt like family and we have learned a lot from them and with them. In addition to the Safari route we have shared many other moments (lunches and dinners together, visits to local tribes and shops...) that we will never forget. We are very sad to leave them behind but the journey continues!! Without a doubt, if we return to Tanzania, we would choose them again. ASANTE HEALTHY!!!

A very well-organised, memorable safari - We did this 5-day safari in Dec-end. We had booked it in Nov, and were waiting for it with a lot of excitement and some amount of anxiety. But once we reached Arusha and met Mohamed, things just unfolded so very smoothly that it was much better than our expectation. The good: 1. Everything was done as per plan, barring some minor tweaks which were informed well ahead. 2. Expert drivers 9cum guides), who are also very well-informed and have a great knowledge of the wildlife that is to be seen there 3. Very good vehicles (Toyota Landcruisers) with an assured window seat for everyone, and a fridge for cool water (and beer, and wine...yes!) 4. They generally include a small washroom stop every 90-100 minutes or so. 5. A cook comes along on the safari and makes excellent hot meals at the campsite. Our cook (Nathan) actually baked fresh bread for most meals and made pizzas as well ! 6. The campsites itself are pretty decent. They pitch the tents and give you sleepings bags etc. The bathrooms are pretty neat 7. Very friendly and warm staff who do not cut corners and scrounge on anything or 8 spring unpleasant surprises. Our driver-cum-guides (Benjamin and Simon, were great!) 8. Mohamed, the contact person from the agency - is a great guy who stuck to his word and honoured every thing he mentioned in the sales cycle. What could improve: 1. The hotel in Arusha (Arusha Tourist Inn) is an OK place, but in a very poor location. It would be nice if Travel Africa Safaris could tie up with a better hotel in a better location. Overall, a great experience and a great safari company to deal with!

A dreamed trip - Our driver was Simply Amazing. I give to him 10 stars above 5! So nice, so kind, so gentle and of course so professional. He tells us a lot about the Animals we saw and the parks and of course about Tanzanian culture. We loved him and of course we loved the safari! Accomodations are goods (in mid range option), confortables and nice, food Is correct (Little choises but ok), our contact from the agency was super nice and helpful. She helps us to recover our Lost luggages! The only thing for which I don't give them a 5 star Is that the group safari supposed to be maximum 6 people and we were 50% of the time 7, and they put us in a group from differents agencies so everybody was in a different accomodation which results in a huge loss of time. For the rest really unforgettable!
