So helpful from start to finish!
I was so indecisive and struggling to make my wishes and budget align. We went through so many iterations for what should’ve been a simple 2.5-day add-on to another trip. Happy was always sweet and helpful and I even hopped on a call to talk it through before finalizing. Knowing one of my concerns was doing a solo safari and the worry of being bored without someone to share the experience with, they sent a crew to provide company, photo ops, and fun. Ben was a knowledgeable guide and navigated a lot of great sightings in anticipating how the animals would likely behave. Ben, Rahema, and Witness were the dream team!! Overall the experience was fantastic. Sadly I got what may have been food poisoning or a nasty bug which overrode half of our meticulous planning, but even with that the team was so caring and concerned and really looked after me. Being a solo female so far from home, I never felt alone. When I arrived at the airport my flight was threatened to be cancelled and they were ready and waiting to help me sort it out. Couldn’t be happier and look forward to my next Africa trip with Vision Safaris.
Excellent organisation & communication.
We had a fantastic time, well organised and communicated. Everything we were promised was provided & deliveted, great hot breakfast each day, great hot lunch at picnic sites each day and evening meals of equally great qualityand quantity. Water was alway available.
Eric our knowledgeable guide knew where he wanted to be in a 3 different parks and communicated well with CB radio with other drivers to locate the best finds (wild animals). We saw absolutely everything, as well as loads of different pretty birds. The 7 seater truck offered excellent viewing and Eric would turn around if it helped any of us.
The Masai Village was a somewhat commercial event though for $10 an interesting hour, try and get a remote village for a little more authenticity.
Our 2 campgrounds were tidy and safe, despite very wild visitors. The shower worked. Our Lodge provided was also of a great standard.
Our coordinator, Hawa, ensured we got back safely to and from our accommodation
Excellent Customer Service
Vision organized my Northern Circuit safari and accommodations. Their standout strength was their patient and responsive customer support during the planning stages. Gudilah thoughtfully fielded extensive questions from me over months through e-mails.
On the safari, it is worth noting that Vision works with partner tour companies to consolidate groups. This means you travel in vehicles operated by other agencies alongside guests who booked through different operators at different prices. The groups may change day to day as well.
That said, if you value attentive pre-trip communication and a polished customer service, Vision is a strong choice. The safari experience was wonderful, largely due to the spectacular locations and being lucky with the groups I ended up with. A special shoutout to Gudilah for months of pre-trip guidance and to Shebby, Rehema, and Ramma for their on-the-ground hospitality and friendliness.

Incredible nature, great team! I absolutely recommend!!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Vision Safari and Tours!
The drivers were excellent throughout the National Parks. They have an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Of course, the animals can come surprisingly close to the vehicle, which is an incredible experience. But even when animals were further away, the drivers somehow managed to spot them as if they had binoculars built into their eyes!
Thank you, Sanura for the wonderful service before the trip. The communication via WhatsApp made everything very easy and gave me a great feeling even before the journey started.
A special mention goes to Osman, the chef. The food was absolutely fantastic, and we were truly spoiled with everything he prepared. There was always more than enough food, so even if you have a big appetite, you certainly won't go hungry! But beyond his amazing cooking, Osman is such a warm-hearted and nice person. Thank you so much, Osman!
Of course, the animals and the breathtaking landscapes were the greatest highlights of the trip. It is difficult to put into words how incredible it was to see the wildlife and scenery with my own eyes. I still can't quite believe that I was lucky enough to experience all of this.
A special thank you also goes to Happy (also Rafak the driver), my guide at the Materuni Falls at the foot of Kilimanjaro. I really enjoyed spending the day in a stunning landscape having great conversations. Thank you so much, Happy — you are truly amazing!
And a very special thank you goes to Haron, who was always so kind and caring. I was genuinely grateful for all the time he spent talking with me and answering aaall my questions :)
Thank you, Vision Safari and Tours, for an unforgettable experience. And if I ever forget any of the wonderful moments in nature from this trip, I have about three billion photos to remind me! 😊
Family Away From Home — Exceptional Service and an Unforgettable Safari
This was truly a trip of a lifetime. I traveled with my niece, and it was the first safari experience for both of us. We saw the Big Five, had zebras right outside our tents, and experienced the incredible beauty of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Ngorongoro was simply breathtaking.
But what made the trip even more memorable was Vision Safari & Tours. Their communication, reliability, attention to detail, and level of care were exceptional. They personalized our Tanzania experience around our needs and preferences and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way.
We had seven guests plus our driver in the safari vehicle, and it was a very comfortable group size. We never felt overcrowded, and everyone had a good opportunity to see the animals and enjoy the experience.
What impressed me most was how far the company was willing to go beyond the actual safari. At one point, we missed a flight and our luggage ended up at another airport. Vision Safari & Tours helped retrieve our luggage, stayed in communication with us, picked us up from a different airport, and made sure we got safely back to our Airbnb so we could still be ready for our safari the following morning.
They also helped coordinate our transportation and experiences beyond the safari, including our time in Zanzibar. They were attentive, thoughtful, conscientious, and incredibly accommodating. Many times, it felt as though they anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask.
For the level of service, organization, personalization, and care we received, I felt the experience was absolutely worth the money.
I would choose Vision Safari & Tours again without hesitation. If anyone I knew was planning a safari or traveling through Tanzania and Zanzibar, they would be the company I would recommend. They did far more than provide a tour. They became like family away from home and helped make our entire Tanzania experience unforgettable.
If I have one regret, it is that I did not write this review immediately after returning home because they absolutely deserved to be recognized right away.
