Absolutely perfect Safari Agency!

Our trip to Tanzania was well curated by this company. From our first chats with Joan, we felt comfortable to proceed with booking with this company. Booking with local company makes us feel the great contribution to the local economy. Our guide was very helpful and informative, he did everything he could to make us comfortable and informed. The safari camp, Suenos was best and in the center of wilderness, with greater views of wildlife. It was amazing to here the sound of animals at mid-night and we will never forget this experience. One thing of note is flexibility the company have on planing of our trip. We will get back to this company again and again when we travel to Tanzania again. Thanks to Brian, Judith and our travel planner Joan, we enjoyed every moment with you guys in Tanzania.

Memorable Holiday to Tanzania

"Our recent trip to Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we contacted this travel operator to the end of our journey, their professionalism and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, the safari experience was unparalleled. Our knowledgeable guide, John, was not only a skilled driver but also an expert in wildlife. His passion for the animals and the environment was evident, as he shared fascinating facts and stories throughout the game drives. We were fortunate to witness the Great Migration in Serengeti, an awe-inspiring spectacle that left us speechless. The encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes, and zebras were truly unforgettable. The accommodations in the national parks were comfortable and provided an authentic safari experience. After the exhilarating safari adventure, we were whisked away to the picturesque beaches of Tanzania. The beach holiday portion of our trip was flawlessly organized. We stayed at a stunning beach resort in Zanzibar, where the crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches created a paradise-like atmosphere. The resort staff was incredibly hospitable, and the amenities were top-notch. We indulged in various water activities like snorkeling and diving, exploring the vibrant marine life of the Indian Ocean."
