Seamless, personal and unforgettable from start to finish!
Honestly, where do we even start?! From the minute we met Jimmy, he just didn’t feel like our safari guide… he felt like our wee 3rd wheel 😂
He was so easy going, friendly and genuinely just great company. He made the whole safari feel so relaxed and effortless, but at the same time, the excitement and adrenaline of what we were seeing was unreal.
His knowledge was absolutely incredible. I genuinely feel like I came home from Tanzania having learned SO much. Every animal we came across, Jimmy had something interesting to tell us, from their behaviour and habits to little facts we’d never have known ourselves. Sometimes he’d even quiz us on what we were seeing and what we’d learned, just to make sure we were actually taking it all in 😂 It became a bit of a laugh between us, but it also showed how much he genuinely cared about us getting the most out of the experience.
We also loved that he taught us some basic Swahili along the way, so we could at least attempt to be polite and say a few things ourselves 😂🇹🇿
And the biggest thing… we saw EVERYTHING we wanted to see, and then some. A lot of them up close, closer than we imagined 🦁🐘🦒🐆
Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara were all absolutely incredible in completely different ways. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Jimmy is a complete asset to Platinumz Safari. We will genuinely recommend Platinum Safari to anyone looking at doing a Tanzania safari, but especially because of Jimmy. He made the whole experience what it was for us and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Our only regret is that we didn’t book it for longer!!
Thank you Jimmy, you absolute legend. We’ll never forget it ❤️🇹🇿

An Unforgettable Day in Arusha – Highly Recommend!
We had an absolutely incredible tour of Arusha with Hashem, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, Hashem was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, welcoming, and attentive to every detail.The highlight was the private coffee-making experience. We got to make coffee completely from scratch, starting right from picking the beans straight from the coffee trees, to roasting and grinding them ourselves. Smelling and tasting that fresh cup of coffee at the end was an unforgettable experience.To top it all off, we were treated to a delicious, traditional African lunch that was bursting with local flavors.If you are looking for an authentic, hands-on cultural experience in Arusha, look no further. Thank you for making our day so special!

Wonderful & informative
From start, Benjamin was amazing & very helpful. He was very informative & even made a custom Safari to fit our tight schedule. He was always so nice & very quick to respond. Our safari guide was also great! We are planning to go back with the kids in 2028 and we are planning to book again! Highly recommend this company!

Forget the corporate safaris use a great local company !
Some journeys don’t just take you across a country; they open something within you. Our safari with Tanzanian Platinumz Safaris was one of those rare experiences, shaped with devotion by Benjamin and brought to life with soul by Jimmy.
From the very first message, Benjamin cared for us as though we were old friends arriving home. His communication was constant and warm, his organisation flawless. He shaped an itinerary that flowed like a story:
Day 1 Arusha, Day 2 Tarangire, Day 3 Central Serengeti, Day 4 North Serengeti, Day 5 Mara River, Day 6 Ngorongoro Crater, Day 7 Lake Manyara.
Every place felt chosen with intention. Every lodge felt prepared for us. Even our food preferences were handled with a tenderness that made the whole journey feel personal.
And then came Jimmy — the quiet heartbeat of our safari.
Jimmy didn’t just guide us; he carried us gently into the rhythm of Tanzania. He moved through the land as though it spoke to him. Every sunrise seemed to meet him first. Every distant roar meant something only he could interpret. He watched over us with a calm strength, always making sure we were comfortable, never too hot, never too tired, never without wonder. With Jimmy, every sighting felt like a gift placed carefully in our hands.
We saw the Big Five and more, each encounter rising above the last. But one moment will stay with us forever. In the heart of the Serengeti, Jimmy chose a quiet acacia tree for our lunch. The plains stretched out in warm silence, the kind that feels alive. As we sat beneath the branches, a lioness emerged from the golden grass. She moved with a softness that didn’t disturb the stillness. She approached the tree, paused, and then — in a moment that felt suspended in time — she climbed it.
She climbed the very tree we were resting under.
For a few breathless minutes, she stayed there with us. No fear. No urgency. Just presence. It felt as though the Serengeti had opened its heart and allowed us inside. And Jimmy stood nearby, steady and protective, giving us the courage to absorb a moment most people only dream of.
This safari was more than a trip. It was a reminder of how beautiful the world can be when people who truly love it guide you through it. Benjamin shaped our journey with care. Jimmy filled it with soul.
We will carry these memories for the rest of our lives.

African Safari was very punctual and organised our itenary very well, with some lovely lodges.
The safari was excellent. We saw all the animals at close range. The lodges were excellent. They took great to see how the day was, each day. Our driver Jimmy was brilliant and went extra lengths to show us the animals, and ensure that we were comfortable.
