Exciting safari with Tazama Africa Holidays
5 star to Tazama Africa holidays.It was the best choice for our first ever safari tour to Kenya East Africa.
Our Safari ideas were simplified and very well suited for us.
The seamless communication directly with the owner Gitau is commendable with every detail explained to our satisfaction since it was our first ever Safari, we had lots of questions,we did not want it to be too long nor too short.We got exactly what we hoped for and even more.
Our driver Daniel who doubled as the guide was exceptional,from the time he picked us up we connected,very open minded and fun,he knows the parks perfectly.
We started off in Samburu National park,followed by Olpejeta Consevancy,Nakuru National park,our safari climax was the Massai Mara.
From the early morning drives with packed lunches and picnics(Mara)viewing wild animals at such close range was beathtaking.We had an istant where a cheeter literally crossed the road in front of us .
Daniel was on radio with other guides and it was fun driving to where others had found exciting citing of animals hunting or feasting.
Good job Tazama Africa holidays.
We will definately plan another safari with you.

Dream Safari Guides
We had the pleasure of being led on our safari in the Masai Mara by Freddie from Tazama Africa Holidays. Freddie was funny, friendly and really knowledgeable about everything we were seeing. He went the extra mile and was super accommodating for us having a 2 year child. I would highly recommend Freddie and Tazama to anyone wanting a fantastic safari experience.

Amazing experience
We’ve just finished an amazing safari experience with Tazama and our guide Freddie. From the moment he collected us, Freddie was patient, knowledgeable and super helpful throughout our experience with a toddler. We had an unforgettable safari and really enjoyed staying at the Sarova Mara camp that Tazama recommended. Definitely go with Tazama for your next safari!

Best day tour
My partner and I had an opportunity to visit Nairobi National park for a day with Tazama Africa holidays since we had a free day in the Nairobi after visiting with relatives over the December holidays and what a better way to end our vacation than to visit the worlds only wildlife capital before our flight back.
Communication with Anthony Gitau the owner of Tazama was fast and clear.
We started early in the Morning with our very charming driver/ guide Mike.
Mike is very knowledable,the park is on the tip of his fingers.He showed up very early for us at our hotel so that we could catch the sunrise and I have to say that was a bright idea,the wide open grass plains and backdrop of the city skycrapers made the sunrise more stunning.
The Early drive also enabled us to see lions less than 4 KM after entry in the Park already catching the morning sun before retreating to the acacis bushes.
We were lucky enough to spot buffalos and rhino.Mike being a master at his game and instinctive vibe drove us to the right spot to see the endangered black rhino.
With antelopes wildbeests hyenas and giraffes not forgettimg the birds like ostriches,waterfowl and Cranes..we learned alot.
Anthony had orgasnised lunch for us before we headed to the Giraffe center where we interacted closels with the girraffes before ending our day at the David Sheldrik Elephant orophanage.
Thank you Anthony for paying attention to all details and ofcourse to Mike who executed like a pro that he is!
I highly reccomend Tazama Africa Holidays for best pricing and proffesionalism!
Excellent
Tazama Africa holiday is your number one African choice safari agency for best Safari tours and holiday packages.
We(group of 7) started off our 2 week safari circut at the wonderfull Massai Mara where a table had been set with welcome drinks ,our tour guide Jack taught us a slogan in Swahil while we did our cheers "Maisha marefu"meaning Long life(was really nice)
Tazama has top notch cruisers and ofcourse the best driver/guides with an eye for details top notch services.
Ilkeliani camp was our home for the four days at the Mara,it is an elegant small and intimate oasis with spacious suites designed to provide luxury.
We did morning and evening game drives where we managed to see Lions hunt and feed,unbelivable sighting of Leopards cubs,and the spectacle of mating elephants!
After the Mara We headed off to Nakuru National Park for 2 days.Flamingos were a sight to behold lots of giraffes and zebras.
We headed down to Naivasha,spent a day tour to Hells gate and boat ride before driving to Amboseli
We stayed at the Amboseli serena Safari lodge the view of the soaring Mt Kilimanjaro beyond tha acacia trees, was just Wow! Visit to the massai village was so exciting to learn about their culture,more game drives followed as we went south to The Tsavo west and East to see the man eaters.
We ended up in Mombasa where we had an opportunity to tour watamu and enjoying Dolphin watching.
Our safari ended in Diani for a few nights before flying back.
Big ups to our guide Jack, Anthony the owner and organizer for a memorable excellent Safari.
Highly recommend and the packages are very reasonable!
Thank you Tazama Team!

Great Safari Experience Working With Gitau at Tazama!
We had an amazing African safari adventure thanks to the efforts of Gitau (Antony), owner of Tazama Africa Holidays. We highly recommend working with Tazama, a local Nairobi Safari Company. This was our first trip to East Africa, after two previous safari trips in South Africa and Botswana. The East African safaris are a bit different than our other safari experiences in that our drivers from park to park were also our safari guides, rather than having guides from each camp.
Since it is such a long distance for us to travel around the world for an African safari, we decided to cover three countries and five parks over 16 days. We had three marvelous drivers/ guides, Moses in Kenya, Shedreck in Tanzania and Bosco in Rwanda. We also spent our last full day in Nairobi with Fred before our flight heading home. All our drivers were knowledgeable, friendly and kind people who we got to know very well on our drives across Africa in our trusty Toyota Land Cruisers.
Our accommodations were everything from safari tents in Tarangire to a 5-star lodge in Serengeti. Every park was unique and we had many special experiences from watching large elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, including old timer, super tusker Craig, who just recently passed away, the great wildebeest migration and a group of female lions taking down a zebra to feed to their 18 cubs and two large males in Serengeti, and an incredible trek into the high elevation jungles of Volcano National Park in Rwanda to watch a large 20 member mountain gorilla family.
Gitau was easy to communicate with by either email or WhatsApp. He made sure all our arrangements were taken care of. What an incredible trip!
Well organized!
Tazama African Holidays really made our holiday! Andrew and Anthony were both very professional, organized, responded fast to all our inquires during the whole process, friendly and lots of info to tell. We visited great places, encountering amazing animals. We were comfortable while enjoying the wildlife, eager to come back one day on another safari.

Amazing Kenya with Tazama
We had an amazing experience in this safari. It was a dream come true made possible by Antony and Andrew from Tazama and the lovely people at the Zebra Plains Mara Camp.
We got to see the diverse and magical wildlife in the Maasai Mara and 4 of the big five (sadly rhino is so hard to find being so scarce). A big thank you to our driver Andrew for being so proactive and managed to show us so many mesmerizing things and being so understanding with us. He is such a fun guy and an encyclopedia of wild life facts. The accommodation was really nice with zebra, giraffe, warthog, gazelle, etc. right over the fence, during dinner. And they have the best staff - always polite, always with a good word and willing to help make our stay unforgettable.
I would like to thank Antony again for his trustworthiness allowing us to postpone the trip (first because of the pandemic and then some family problems) - forever grateful.

An unforgettable safari of a lifetime
Tazama Africa Holidays was everything I’d hoped for and more. As a solo female traveler for this trip, I felt safe and cared for from the time I was picked up by my knowledgeable guide, Fred, to my departure at the end of the Safari.
Tazama Africa Holidays provided a once in a lifetime experience I hope to experience again! I saw more wild animals than I ever had before, and learned so much from my guide, Fred. I even saw female lions chasing away male lions to protect their cubs, an experience that cannot be replicated. Fred knew exactly where to go to see the animals and we even came face to face with a rhino that was crossing the road.
I would highly recommend Tazama Africa Holidays to anyone looking for a premium safari adventure.
