Great safari experience with excellent organization and friendly staff
5/5

We joined a 7-day safari with Royal Tiger Tours in late July, visiting Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti (two days), Ngorongoro Crater and Arusha National Park. Everything was very well organized from the moment we arrived in Nairobi until the end of the trip. They arranged all transfers seamlessly – between our Nairobi accommodation and the shuttle, in Arusha, and also for our return to Nairobi at the end of our holiday.

The accommodations were simple (as we requested to keep costs low), but clean and well maintained. The only exception was the public campsite in Serengeti, which was quite worn down compared to the excellent campsite at Ngorongoro. Communication was always smooth via WhatsApp, and any questions or requests we had were handled promptly.

One of our sons has gluten intolerance, and the team took special care to provide him with suitable meals. The cook prepared separate pancakes from corn flour, used the gluten-free bread we brought for sandwiches, and often made dishes everyone could enjoy. The food was plentiful and tasty throughout the trip.

Our guide and cook were both friendly and attentive. The guide always did his best to find the best spots for wildlife viewing, and the cook surprised our boys with small treats from shops along the way (lollipops, sodas, chips, even sugarcane). These little gestures made the trip even more special for our family.

Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Royal Tiger Tours to anyone looking for a well-organized, affordable, and family-friendly safari in Tanzania.

Amazing experience!
5/5

John's team is wonderful! We planned an ambitious itinerary that included Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania, and John's company took care of everything in the latter two countries! We covered many kilometers, passing through villages and towns, enjoying an authentic and genuine experience. He spared no effort to ensure we saw the great migration, monitoring the herds and making the necessary adjustments to ensure everything went smoothly. The guides are patient, knowledgeable, and very friendly! The hotels were excellent, as were the vehicles we used. We highly recommend them!

Quick replies, understanding, kind
5/5

We booked the 7-day Nairobi-Amboseli-Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Serengeti safari which was great! Our guide in Kenya, Rufus, and our guide in Tanzania, Ludo, were exceptional! They really went all out to show us everything there was to see. We saw the big 5, and lots of other animals. The lodges exceeded our expectations. Most people only do the Tanzania part, if you do, I recommend asking for Ludo.

5/5

Very professionally run business, everything was neatly planned from start to finish, high value for money, food was great. My friends and I did the 4 day safari that covers Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We slept in tents, which was an amazing experience (especially hearing the animals serenading at night). It felt safe and we received good instructions on do’s and don’ts before the night fell. This is an experience of a lifetime, and I would not hesitate to book.

5/5

Dear all in Tanzania Vacation


We were on Safari and had an excellent time with our Joshua at Tanzania. They are very friendly and professional. They both worked hard and did their best to help us with this extraordinary safari. John replied to our emails and messages promptly, which saved us a lot of time. He is very knowledgeable and answered our questions patiently. He picked us up in the early morning from the airport when we could still see stars! I highly recommend booking your safari directly through Tanzania Vacation. You will be in good hands. It was a trip of a lifetime!

Fabulous
5/5

We were a group of 6 and updated and revised the tour with one nice stop at wild serengeti camp. John did assist in organising the 4 day safari very well. We arrived one night before, so we could start jointly after breakfast. Our driver and chef did a great job. We visit Tangere, Serengeti and the crater.

5/5

Tanzania vacations was fantastic! Our guides, Innocent Lymo and owner Rejeaeli John could not have been more wonderful. Very extensive game drives, amazing guidance on all aspects of the parks and the wildebeest migration, comfortable lodgings and really fun company. I cannot praise them highly enough. A once in a lifetime adventure — SO worth it!!!

We appreciate Tanzania Vacations for planning our day tour.
5/5

We appreciate Tanzania Vacations for planning our day tour. Everything went exactly as planned, including the pickup from our Nungwi hotel and the shared charter aircraft to Mikumi from Zanzibar Airport. We saw elephants, buffalo, wildebeests, zebras, lions, leopards, and many other species at the park, including hippos in the swimming pool. There were numerous crocodiles and hippos present. We are generally pleased with their organization, and the cost was reasonable. We heartily urge everyone to use them when going on a day safari from Zanzibar Island.

5/5

We had an amazing trip with Tanzania Vacation company ! Our driver was good at spotting animals and knew a lot about them. We also had an excellent cook! The communication with the organizer also went smoothly. The car was reliable and allowed us to have a good view of the animals. 
We strongly recommend this company for a budget safari. 
Thanks for the once in a lifetime experience guys!
