⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Unforgettable Experience
5/5

I honestly cannot find enough words to describe how amazing our safari with Rafiki Tembo was. From the very first contact to the last day of our trip, everything was perfectly organized and handled with great attention to detail.

The entire experience was simply unforgettable. We witnessed breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and moments that will stay with us forever. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional level of service: friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the journey.

The whole team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, welcome, and well looked after at all times. Their passion for what they do and for sharing the beauty of Tanzania is evident in every aspect of the experience.

I recommend Rafiki Tembo 100%. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania and want an authentic, seamless, and truly memorable adventure, look no further. Choosing Rafiki Tembo was one of the best decisions we made, and we would do it again without hesitation.

Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. 🦁🐘🌅✨

Reliable, experienced, flexible, caring, fun — the safari felt like traveling with friends
5/5

We had an amazing 6-day safari and honeymoon experience with Rafiki Tembo Tours and Safaris, from airport pickup until they sent us back to the airport at the end of the trip.

Communication before the trip was excellent. They replied very quickly, even though we requested many changes and adjustments multiple times. They were always patient, flexible with the schedule we wanted, and helped customize the trip exactly the way we hoped.

Since we traveled during the low season, we honestly did not expect to see many animals. However, we managed to see almost everything except a leopard, which we understand is very difficult to spot. We were really impressed by how experienced our guide was and by the strong connections between the guides, which helped us spot so many animals throughout the trip.

Before starting the safari, we requested to visit an African batik shop. At first, we could not find the pattern we wanted, but thanks to their local connections, we were finally able to order a custom-made African batik outfit, which became a very special memory for us.

In Tarangire, although we did not see big cats, we had an unforgettable experience seeing a group of elephants with babies from very close distance, thanks to our guide. Then during our two days in Serengeti, we saw big cats with their cubs and many other animals we hoped to see — sometimes even while eating lunch.

Some of the best moments of our trip were when a cheetah jumped onto our vehicle, seeing the famous three cheetah brothers eating a wildebeest, and spotting a rhino from very close distance. These were truly unforgettable experiences for us and would not have been possible without such an experienced guide and the guide network they work with.

What we especially appreciated was how well the safari was balanced between game drives and relaxing honeymoon time at the lodges. In Ngorongoro, the pace was more relaxed and enjoyable, which we really liked.

Our guide was one of the best parts of the trip. He was knowledgeable, experienced, fun, and felt more like traveling with a friend than with a tour guide. He knew when to relax and when to rush for animal sightings. He even taught me how to take better videos of the animals during the safari. At the same time, he always considered safety first, which made us feel comfortable throughout the trip.

His driving skills were also incredible — we even had to drive through flooding roads during heavy rain, and we could hardly believe we made it through safely. We could clearly feel that he truly cares about wildlife and genuinely loves animals.

Finally, we also found the price very reasonable. We compared the exact same itinerary with several other tour companies, and all of them were more expensive.

We are very happy we chose Rafiki Tembo Tours and Safaris for our honeymoon safari and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania.
