An Amazing Safari Experience with an Excellent Guide
We had a great safari experience with Thamani African Safaris and would recommend them to other travelers.
Our guide, Jackson, was excellent—professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He helped us spot many animals and made the safari truly memorable. The vehicle was in great condition, and the tented camps during the first two nights were also well arranged. Before our trip, Greater gave us a detailed briefing about important things to know, which was very helpful.
Communication was generally good, and the overall value for money was reasonable. There was one small issue with our transfer in Zanzibar: the driver was originally supposed to take us directly to Stone Town, but took us to our hotel first, which meant an additional transfer had to be arranged. Greater helped resolve the issue promptly.
Overall, we were happy with our experience. The safari itself was fantastic, and both Greater and Jackson contributed greatly to making it so enjoyable. I would recommend Thamani African Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Beyond amaizing
As I started planning my 40th birthday celebration, I came across many companies that simply couldn’t bring my vision to life the way I had imagined it. Then Mygreater came into the picture, and she made it all possible. ✨
Everything I wanted and everything she promised was delivered beyond my expectations. She truly made the difference and turned my vision into reality.
Her dedication and professionalism speak volumes about how much love, passion, and enthusiasm she puts into her work to make her clients happy. ❤️
Thank you so much for being so much more than a planner. You made us feel truly welcomed, cared for, and at home, and you helped make our trip and my 40th birthday celebration one of the most special experiences ever.
Forever grateful to you and your wonderful team🥂✨

Highly recommended，It was absolutely wonderful
Greater provided us with a SIM card, which was very convenient, and their service was very attentive, caring about our Safari experience the entire time. Our guide, Jackson, was very experienced and showed us spectacular scenes such as hunting, eating, and antelope crossing the river. At the same time, I thought the value for money was excellent, and the accommodations along the way were all quite good. I think I will always cherish this place, and I will come back if I have the chance.

Efficient and kind.
Abraham and his team arranged everything perfectly.
The pick-up, the first plane ride,
Pick ip from the strip, first tame drive, prep for the balloon safari, picking me up after the safari, a real safari yo North looking for the migration ( which we found), and back to the beautiful lodge which they selected.
We were delighted to have animals roaming the property.
Into The Wild was the perfect backdrop for a beautiful 60th birthday photo shoot.
The staff also performed and brought me a cake for my birthday. And they just happened to have one of my favorite things for my birthday dinner- BARBQUE.
Jackson, our driver, continued the safari back to Arusha. We sighted a few more animals, stopped for a view the Ngorongoru Crater, and arrived back in Arusha for our flight to Zanzibar.
(They even kept some of our luggage for us.)

Awesome Safaris!
This 8‑day trip to Tanzania turned out to be full of wonderful surprises. Upon landing at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were greeted by two guides, who drove us all the way to Arusha. Along the route, they took us to buy local fruits. After checking in, we explored Arusha, Tanzania’s third‑largest city, and got a taste of local culture and daily life.
On the second day, our guide Robert took us on an exciting wildlife safari full of wonder. Robert was warm‑hearted, responsible and highly experienced. We travelled through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and central as well as northern Serengeti. During the safari, we spotted 73 lions, 6 cheetahs, 2 leopards and 11 rhinos, alongside countless elephants, giraffes, zebras and antelopes. We also witnessed the awe‑inspiring wildebeest migration, which was an absolute highlight!
After returning to Arusha from the Serengeti, our two local ground handlers accompanied us to the Maasai Market in Arusha to pick up souvenirs before transferring us to the airport. They were patient and thoughtful throughout. Another pleasant surprise was the abundant fresh fruits arranged by Greater, which we enjoyed every single day.
We would like to thank Robert, and Greater for this well‑planned itinerary, as well as for their thoughtful care and attention to detail. Their service is truly trustworthy!

Amazing 10-day safari experience with Thamani
We had an amazing 10-day safari in Tanzania with Thamani, travelling as a group of five from JRO to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti and finally Northern Serengeti.
Abraham was our main contact throughout the planning process and everything was arranged extremely well. Communication was always quick and clear, and he was very responsive to all our questions and requests. We really appreciated how flexible he was in accommodating the different things we asked for, and the whole itinerary went very smoothly from beginning to end.
Another thing we particularly appreciated was the transparency. The costs and arrangements were clearly explained to us, so we always knew what we were paying for and what was included. Abraham also personally met us during the trip, which gave us even more confidence that everything was being well taken care of.
Thamani also worked with Nyikani for our safari, and this turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide, Noel, was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to his experience and incredible ability to spot wildlife, we had sightings beyond anything we expected — three different leopard sightings, including a leopard family and a leopard hunting; three different cheetah families, including some incredibly cute young cubs; countless lions; and even an intense encounter between lions and buffaloes.
We were also incredibly lucky to witness three animal river crossings during our trip!
Everything came together perfectly — the itinerary, accommodation, logistics and especially the guiding. We came home with so many unforgettable memories and amazing photographs.
We would definitely recommend Thamani, and especially Abraham, to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. We felt very well looked after throughout the entire journey and would happily travel with them again.

absolutely unforgettable from start to finish
We had an amazing experience with Thamani African Safaris from start to finish.
Communication before the trip was always quick and efficient. They provided us with different options for the daily itinerary and accommodation, allowing us to choose and tailor a trip that best suited our budget and preferences. Even just one day before our departure, we decided to add visits to Serval Wildlife and a coffee farm, and they managed to arrange everything very quickly and smoothly.
From the moment we landed, we were extremely well taken care of. Everything throughout the trip was well organized and ran smoothly, so we could simply relax and enjoy the safari.
We were also incredibly lucky to see so many animals and some truly unforgettable wildlife moments. A huge part of this was thanks to our guide, who was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He knew where to look for wildlife, understood animal behavior very well, and always did his best to give us the best possible viewing experience.
Overall, the service was reliable, flexible, and excellent value for money. It was truly one of the best and most unforgettable trips we have ever had, and we would highly recommend Thamani African Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
