Great experience with Tales of Tanzania
We had the most incredible first trip to Africa, and a big part of that is thanks to Pendo and our guide Peter.
From the start, we reached out to over 20 safari operators, and Pendo stood out with her professionalism, clarity, and efficiency. She was consistently responsive, to the point, and transparent — there was never any vague or confusing information, which gave us great confidence during the planning stage. She answered every small question we had in the months leading up to our trip with patience and clarity, which made us feel completely at ease before arriving.
Peter, our guide with 12 years of experience, was simply outstanding. He’s deeply knowledgeable, incredibly reliable, and always attentive to detail.
Communication with him was easy and efficient, and the atmosphere in the vehicle was always positive and cheerful. He genuinely listened to what we were hoping to see and went above and beyond - often we were the ones asking him to take a break. We fully understood that wildlife sightings depend not only on the guide’s skill and dedication, but also simply on luck - so we managed our expectations accordingly. But thanks to Peter’s persistence and experience, we ended up seeing everything we had hoped for, which made us incredibly satisfied.
On a side note, we did notice that Peter cleaned the vehicle thoroughly every day, neatly organising everything in the back seat - every morning when we stepped into the car, it was just comfortable. On top of all this, Peter seemed to know everyone - from fellow guides and rangers in the national parks to lodge managers and staff. This made us feel very secure, knowing that if anything unexpected happened, Peter would be able to handle it efficiently with his strong network and deep experience. As an example, when we mentioned in the next morning that we were a bit confused about why a newly opened lodge didn’t provide a hairdryer - especially since it used the exact same brand of solar panels as other lodges that did - Peter immediately spoke to the manager to raise our feedback (and of course, unexpectedly, they know each other well!). We appreciated that he was always proactive in helping us resolve even the smallest issues even that it's not really part of his job.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend this team to anyone looking for a professional, well-organised, and deeply rewarding journey through Tanzania.

Genuine care and warmth
This is a belated review, as I went on the safari last year with them . I nearly forgot to write about it until my iPhone memory moments reminded me today!
We were a group of three from China, visiting Tanzania for the first time. With so many operators to choose from Safaribookings, we randomly picked them, and it turned out to be the best decision we made. Pendo and her team were incredibly patient and accommodating as we customized our itinerary, and carefully considering our budget limits. They put together a fantastic trip that offered the best of what Tanzania has to offer. From start to finish, we felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. The safari itself was absolutely outstanding! Our guide was both knowledgeable and passionate, making the wildlife encounters very fun and exciting. Thanks to his expertise, we managed to see almost very animal on our wish list, from lions to leopards to more. The attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our safety and comfort were truly appreciated. I remember that we encountered an unexpected issue with the hotel charges. Pendo and her team stepped in and helped negotiate the situation. While we couldn’t get back our extra charge with that hotel, the way Pendo and her team stood by us and tried to resolve the issue was truly heartwarming and appreciated. They may not be as famous as the bigger operators here, but they are operating with their heart and dedication. Their love and pride for the land of Tanzania is truly touching. As a visitor, I was deeply moved and found myself sharing in that pride for this beautiful place. I hope that we can all play a part in protecting this land, its wildlife, landscapes, and culture for generations to come.

pretty good
wonderful experience,something you may never met in a city

Most epic safari adventure with the ride of a lifetime ..
Tales of Tanzania Safaris has planned out a most epic safari adventure with the sensorial immersive experience awakening our senses with awe and delight ! They are accommodating and experience in our needs and expectation of a great safari trip . They are fast and responsive in all our queries and concern . We had a most memorable exciting trip with a most experience professional guide and driver Dismus . Highly recommend them indeed !!
Best tour operator ever - totally spoilt us in every way
We had a wonderful trip (10 days safari and 4 days Zanzibar), totally spoilt with everything (accommodation, food, drinks and sightings) and wonderful hospitality. Booking was made very easy with quick replies to our numerous enquiries from Pendo. She kept us informed all the way, managing our group of 5 form 4 different countries. Nothing was too difficult, so it made planning the trip a breeze. Payment was also very flexible, as some of us paid by WISE whilst others by bank transfer.
When we arrived in Killimanjaro, we were met by Dismas - our guide for the next 10 days. We saw lots of animals - some up close and personal especially prides of lions (a few times). Most spectacular was a couple millions of flamingos at Lake Natron - and unforgettable sight.
A great shout out to Dismas and Said (our guide in Zanzibar), both wonderful guides. Said in particular (as you mentioned) was a walking historical encyclopedia and such a gentleman.
I would recommend Tales of Tanzania anytime!
