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.

5/5

I had an absolutely extraordinary experience with Rafiki Tembo that exceeded all expectations.

It was my dream trip, filled with immense happiness. From the first contact, the high level of professionalism and organization of the entire team was evident. Every detail was carefully planned, guaranteeing a peaceful, safe, and unforgettable experience.

The guides' competence is truly impressive. They demonstrate a deep knowledge of the local fauna, flora, and ecosystem, sharing rich and interesting information throughout the entire journey. Of course, they don't just "show," they educate, engage, and create a genuine connection with the natural environment.

I also want to highlight the constant friendliness of the entire team, always available, attentive, and genuinely interested in providing the best possible experience, making us feel welcome and comfortable at all times.

The jeeps used are of excellent quality, very well maintained and prepared. They provide not only safety but also a high level of comfort, allowing you to fully enjoy every moment of the safaris.

They combine professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, and quality in an exemplary way.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an authentic, safe, and memorable safari experience.

This experience will forever remain in my memories!!
