Tales of Tanzania Team

Tales of Tanzania is a family-owned safari company based in Arusha, born from a deep love for our homeland. Our story began in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, in the small village of Machame, where we first worked as porters and mountain guides. With years of experience and a passion for sharing Tanzania’s beauty, we grew into a trusted safari operator—crafting unforgettable journeys across our breathtaking country.

Easy communication, professional and reliable.
5/5

We booked our 9 day safari and 8 day Zanzibar tour through Tales of Tanzania 1 year before our trip.
Pendo was so easy to communicate with, every question and modification to our itinerary was never too hard. Pendo was prompt and quick to reply (allowing for time difference). She made booking our dream honeymoon so easy and put any worries we had at ease.
We paid via Wise transfer which was the easiest method from Australia.
When we arrived at Mt Kilimanjaro airport where we were met by our lovely guide, Peter. The next day Pendo and her sister, Yasinta met us at our hotel and provided details about our itinerary and what to expect.
We started our trip in Arusha before heading to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with our incredible guide, Peter.
Peter was so generous with his knowledge and is very passionate about his work and the animals.
Pendo booked us into beautiful accommodation, with incredible views and delicious food. Our first morning we woke up to two elephants walking past our room which was so special.
We then travelled to Zanzibar and had 5 nights in Nungwi, laying by the beach and pool. We then had two nights in Stone Town. Pendo arranged us day trips to the spice markets, ocean safari where we snorkelled in the clearest water and enjoyed a seafood BBQ on the beach and learnt about the history of Zanzibar on a guided walking tour. She also arranged for us a private sunset cruise on a traditional dhow to celebrate our Honeymoon. This was such a special touch.
We absolutely loved our holiday that Tales of Tanzania created for us. If anyone is even considering a safari I would highly recommend you do it. Tanzanian hospitality is the best in the world, we felt so looked after and cared for. I wish we could do it all over again!!

A very memorable experience.
4/5

Our Tanzanian safari was a very memorable experience and we highly recommend it. Pendo from Tales of Tanzania was extremely prompt and helpful in planning our itinerary and accomodating our needs. Gilbert ‘Bobby’, our very knowledgeable guide and highly skilled driver, was absolutely fantastic. He was determined for us to see cheetahs and leopards, which we missed on our previous safari in Botswana.
We have recommended that the vehicles be upgraded but aside from that, it was a wonderful safari adventure which we will always remember. We highly recommend!

Excellent service, great communications, fast response, good tour guide.
5/5

Our trip in Tanzania went well. I am glad we selected Tales of Tanzania Safari. The initial communcations are very smooth, they respond very quickly with detailed information about activity each day and cost. They provided recipt after I made deposit. During the trip, everything went well as planned. The tour guide Peter was very good. Provided lots of useful information about animals and Serengeti, he is knowledgable. We loved our trip.

Great experience with Tales of Tanzania
5/5

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
5/5

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.
