Good service for affordable price
5/5

It was our (my wife and me) first trip to Tanzania and first safari at all.

We starting the choice of provider for 2 day trip to Mikumi with 3 options and Raja have provided a clear and fast answer with the best price for an individual tour with Swiss Lounge.

A few important points:

1) 30% prepayment to pay via the internet (+4% commission as for almost all card payments in Tanzania)
2) We started a trip around 6 am and I strongly recommend to start it earlier due to traffic (one-way road took more than 8 hours, the same on the way back)
3) All safari took around 4 hours since you arrive to park at 2-3 pm and at 6-7 is already a sunset and on the next day you have only one hour road through a park on the way back
4) We had the change of drivers on the halfway to park and both of them were good, but one had better English and much more interesting stories to tell :)
5) The place with lunch is ok for a toilet stop, but the food is so-so.

No matter of small things, in general, this experience was great, we have succesfully seen what we wanted to see (giraffes, zebras, elephants, impalas, crocodiles, hippos and lion with kids) and now have unforgettable memories.

5/5

Everything as we expected. Rajab always available to solve any problem. We ask to give us a good guide and a good driver.
Rajab give us Gaston. Very good, excellent driver and great animal expert , extremely available and flexible.
We have chosen medium level accommodation and value for money was perfect.
I highly recommend RajaTours.

EXPLICIT AFRICAN SAFARI EXPERIENCE
5/5

Raja tours were very responsive as i initiated my trip. They were quick to respond on how i could plan it with my available budget.
I reccomend them for proper trip arrangements (I visited Selous Game reserve) and great selection of accommodation places.

We are 4 adults who made a Safari southern circuit in private for 13 days with Raja Tours Tanzania.
5/5

Communication with Rajabu Msangi was very easy. We had excellent service. The guides were always very punctual, attentive and ensured our safety. The proposed route was very interesting and well balance. We enjoyed the reserve and the 2 parks. Everything was very interesting.The lodges, the hotels and the tent camp were good choices. The meals were excellent, plentiful and varied. We had a wonderful trip. We are satisfied with the trip to Tanzania (southern circuit) and we will not hesitate to recommend Raja Tours Tanzania for a safari. Good value for money.

Unforgettable
4/5

Rajabu is a great guy!!! He helped me out with our trip trying to make it fit to my expectations.
We had a couple of unforseen, but he helped us out of them and even compensate us for the inconviniences.
Nice hotels and great parks. We were luck enough to see the Big 5 very close. Drivers and guides also very nice and friendly.
We really love traveling with RajaTours!

Not Great!
3/5

This is the review of the service received from Raja Tours ( https://www.rajatours.org/) for the private 5-day Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) for two, July 2018.


Summary: Overall experience: 3/5 (could have been a lot better only if we had a better guide)


A) Itinerary: 5/5 (Rajab worked with us to customize the plan and select the parks and accommodation we wanted).

B) Driver/Guide: Driving skills 4/5 (Hashim/Hashimu was a very safe driver), Guiding skills: 1/5 (Sadly Hashim wasn't familiar with the parks, hot spots, and routs, however we were lucky enough to follow other drivers/guides to find and see some of the animals. Also, other factors contributed to this rating such as lack of communication, being unfriendly, strong focus on getting out of the park by certain time (we typically ended up at the gate 1 hr ahead of the schedule).

C) Vehicle: 2/5 (old beat-up vehicle (Toyota) with no A/C (cooling/heating), non-reclining seats, and barley functioning windows/doors (some windows wouldn't open/close, some doors wouldn't open, etc)

Again, Rajab was very responsive throughout the booking process and provided us with a great itinerary. However, considering this's a once-in-a-life-time trip, it was disappointing to have an inexperienced unfriendly guide.

Great safari in Ruaha with RajaTours
5/5

RajaTours was a great choice for us during our 4 days of safari. They respond quickly and are easy to communicate with, and provided us nice land cruiser, lodge with a stunnish view and great staff all through our stay, especially our guide Imma who was available at all time and found the most nicest scenery for breakfast and lunch break, and was flexible for changes do to our wishes. Ruaha national park was not crowded with tourist and the animals was looking in good shape. The guide had responsible tourism in mind which was a plus for us as well.

Great 5 Day Safari
5/5

We had a 5 day Safari with RajaTours. Including Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Everything went smoothly. We had some really nice lodges including tented luxury lodge within Serengeti and no fences :-), Rhino lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro.

No car troubles, bad food or something like that happened to us.

Our driver was very experienced and answered alot of questions. He was an animal enthusiast. We saw the Big 5 and a lot more, only missing out on the cheetah. Overall we had a great time and can only recommend Rajab.
