Awesome and very cooperative
An Unforgettable 10-Day Adventure with Usaka Travels
We had an incredible experience with Usaka Travels, spending a total of 10 days with David and his wonderful team, including a Mt. Meru hike and a 5-day private safari. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine warmth.
Mt. Meru Hike:
The entire hiking crew was exceptional. The guides, ranger, porters, and cook were all incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the trek. Their teamwork and professionalism really stood out, and they made sure our whole family felt safe, motivated, and well cared for every step of the way. A special mention to the porters and cook—true unsung heroes who made the hike comfortable and enjoyable.
5-Day Safari Experience:
We did a private 5-day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. The itinerary was very well planned, and the accommodations at Siafu Lodge and Kenzen Lodge were excellent—comfortable, clean, and relaxing after long game drives. The food was consistently great, which was especially appreciated since we are vegetarians.
David and our safari guide/driver Douglas were phenomenal. Game drives can always be a bit hit or miss, but both guides were extremely patient and went out of their way to ensure our safari was enjoyable and memorable. They made every possible effort to help us spot all the animals and truly cared about our experience.
Overall:
The private safari was absolutely worth it, and spending so many days with the Usaka team felt like traveling with trusted friends rather than a tour company. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and heartfelt experience in Tanzania—whether hiking, safari, or both—I highly recommend Usaka Travels.

BEAUTIFUL SAFARI IN TANZANIA
My safari in Tanzania was truly incredible. The landscapes were stunning, the wildlife unforgettable and everything was perfectly organised. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes and many other animals up close — an absolutely magical experience. The lodges were comfortable and immersed in nature, making the whole trip even more special.
I highly recommend this safari: it was beautiful from start to finish.

Outstanding service and good cause!
I was interested in a 1-day Safari trip to Tarangire National Park, and Usaka Adventures made it possible without many complications and at a much more reasonable price compared to other companies. The service was excellent and although I was the only customer doing 1-day safary, a taxi drove me back to Arusha.
David is a wonderful guy on both the professional and personal side and more people should support what he is doing with his charity work for Tabasamu For Hope Foundation. One more reason why people should go for companies such as Usaka Adventures is that it is entirely local and in this way it is possible to support a much healthier tourism!

Excellent and efficient tour operator
The 6-day safari organized by Usaka Adventure was well planned and absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Charles, was knowledgeable and always available, which made the experience very interesting. We saw many animals, and the tented (there is also the option of lodge) accommodations were comfortable and well managed. The cook was also friendly and helpful. Overall, it was an excellent experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic safari.

Amazing 6-Day Safari
I joined a shared 6-day safari with Usaka Adventure and had a seamless, memorable trip. Our guide was skilled, the cook made great meals, and David (the owner) was kind, flexible, and always found the right solution when we asked to customize the tour. We saw almost all of the Big Five (missing only the rhino!). The price was very good, and I appreciate that part of the payment supports charity. Highly recommended!!
