“We were not disappointed and every single day was incredible, which we will remember for the rest of our lives! From out tour manager in Arusha office, who was very responsive over the course of our research on the operators to our guide and the driver - everything was impeccably organised, we wouldn’t change a thing. The chosen lodges, selected routes, responsiveness to action or drive where needed, time estimation, food and patience as well as respect to all humans as well as animals left us speechless. I recommend them to everyone and already did to my friends. Thank you to the whole team, we will cherish this honeymoon memories forever!!! Thank you for making it special.”

“It was a great trip, wonderful to see the animals in their natural habitat. Some long days of driving but well worth it in the end. Erellah was great leader, pointed things out that we would've never seen without his help. Wilson, Sam and Esther were great assets to the trip and made it all the more enjoyable. It was my first trip with this tour operator and plan on more.”

The staff at Tanzania Safari Agency were incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive. They were always available to address any concerns or questions I had, both before and during the trip. Their dedication to making my family experience smooth and enjoyable was truly remarkable. The accommodations were top-notch in terms of accessibility. They made sure that the rooms were spacious, equipped with necessary amenities, and had barrier-free entrances and bathrooms.
