Everything as promised
5/5


We had five great days through "Taste of Africa". We have booked from Germany and Seka was always ready to provide information and help. As promised, he picked us up at Kilimanjaro Airport on the day we arrived and took us to our Green Mountain hotel in Arusha. The hotel was good, the food was delicious and the staff (as everywhere on the tour) very friendly. The next morning our guide Said on time at the hotel. He was an absolute lucky man, polite, good-humored and in his element. Thanks to him, we have learned a great deal, he can give backgrounds and information to EVERY animal and ANY plant and sees animals with the naked eye, which I have not seen with binoculars. That's how we all saw big 5. ;) In addition, he has always responded to our requests, prehistoric times, breaks, photo stops, everything "no problem". The lodges during the tour were also good, good food, nice staff. Two nights we spent directly in the Serengeti, the other two directly at the Ngorongoro crater. Everything as announced. The hotel before and after the safari was also included in the price AND transport from and to the airport.
After the safari, we did the one-day hike on Kilimanjaro. Exhausting but a great change from the safari. The night we spent in Moshi at the Keys Hotel. Especially great: My wife had her birthday that day and Seka surprised us with a cake and a bottle of wine waiting in our room on arrival. There was a card with personal words, all in the name of the "Taste of Africa" ​​team.
So it was a perfect package and the best value for money compared to ALL other providers. I highly recommend it. Another advantage: Seka speaks very good German and English and has always been accessible via whatsapp, if anything was.

Fantastic Mt. Kilimanjaro Hike to Mandara Hut & Maundi Crater!
5/5

Taste of Afrika provided an absolutely fantastic experience for me, doing a one-day hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro! We climbed to Mandara Hut and Maundi Crater, with stunning views along the way. The natural landscape was stunning, and an experience you shouldn’t miss if you’re in the area & physically able. Nickson, the guide on the climb, was great! He sang songs & taught me some Swahili words to keep my energy up when it got rough. Seka, the owner is amazing! He was a great communicator and made me feel welcome, prepared, and excited about the trek both before & during the experience, going out of his way to make sure everything was wonderful for me. I highly recommend this company, you won’t be disappointed in service or experience! Thanks again, Taste of Afrika!

Me and my family we had the best and professional services on our 7 Days climbing Mount Kilimanjaro through Machame route combined with 3 days budgeted safari with taste of afrika safaris as the local tour Company in Moshi, we really had nice time and we recommend you to plan your trip .
We had Very good climbing equipments from their office, We also had professional Guides, Chef’s and Porters. The transfer to and from Kilimanjaro Airport was punctual, the food during our Climbing Kilimanjaro and Safari was good and delicious, accommodation before and after starting our Climbing Kilimanjaro and after safari too were perfect.
Seka and the whole team of taste of afrika were always listening to our wishes before and during our time in Tanzania (Moses, Baraka, Massawe and Peter) We really recommend Taste Of Afrika Safaris to organize your trip in Tanzania.
They gave us the best offer price fitted to our Budget of the whole trip.

Perfect service on our 7 Climbing Kilimanjaro Machame route and 5 Days Safari
5/5

Now it's few days just come down from Uhuru Peak (summit) of Mount Kilimanjaro with Taste Of Afrika Safaris, the trip was excellent. I and my Boyfriend we join the group of 6 people from UK, we had really great experience with the whole team of Taste Of Afrika. They did a wonderful job by making us to be Heroes of Kilimanjaro after our 7 Days Trekking Machame route which they call it whiskey route. Baraka our Trekking guide was very expert, he used to ask us every moment during trekking if we are ok and make sure before start everyday that we are fit to go ahead. Prior driving to the gate on the starting point of Kili Baraka checked everything that we got it. Our assistance Guide, Chef and porters were just excellent, food was super too, and health.You will not regret if you book with taste of afrika, we actually booked our 5 Days Camping safari with them after coming down from Kilimanjaro because we had simply excellent services from them. Our request was to join the group and we had it. It was the great group of our trip! Thank you to Seka, Baraka, Mbise, Jacob, Ben and the whole crew of Porters.

Lemosho Kilimanjaro track and Tanzania safari
5/5

In organization of Taste of Africa 3 of us had 8 days Lemosho trail with all three summiting Uhuru peak. All went perfectly - the organization, support team, food - all. We are specialy keen on our guides Bryson and Lucas as thanks to their knowledge we avoided all effects of altitude sicnes withouth ussing any medicine. Both tumbs up for the agency and their mountain team - perfect. It is worthy to mention the rediness of agency to answer to all customizations requested by us. Thanks again.

After mountain experience we took this safari with the same Taste of Africa agency and the result was the same. All “big 5” in our photo albums and many more animals, perfect custom made tour for 3 persons, great accomodation, wehicle and food. I have specialy to underline the skils of our guide/driver Mozes to find the animals and for good safari this is most important. Another perfect experience with Taste of Africa.

9 days budget camping safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Natron and Eyasi
5/5

Our private 9 days safari with Taste of Africa was outstanding! We created tailor-made itinerary and it was our excellent guide as we explored all Northern Circuit. We chose the parks, places to visit and lodges for some nigts instead of public camps with no additional cost. We added Lake Natron and Lake Eyasi to our Northern Circuit itinerary and did not regret summiting the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano (only 30 percent of climbers summit it according the local guide as it is very challenging), seeing the Natron lake with amazing flamingos and meeting Hadzabe and Datoga tribes by the lake Eyasi.
Thanks for the fun driver, great guide and friend Daniel and amazing kitchen chef Massawe. We all got along well and enjoyed our evening talks after dinner. We always felt Daniel puts an extra effort in game drives and spotting the animals and we appreciated alot. We felt safe along the way, enjoyed our bumpy rides and crossing the flooded river with jeep was something really brave and fun! The most memorable moments: cheetah hunting gazelle and bunch of buffaloes eating grass around our tent at night.
They made our dreams a reality to see all Big 5 up close (except rhino, but we still saw it with binoculars; it's very difficult to spot it close).
The best price for the best safari with the best team! A really memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Life changing experience! Ask for Moses!
5/5

Taste of Afrika is an excellent, highly professional company, and Moses is the best safari guide one can dream of.
Our experience with Taste of Afrika was outstanding. Seka (the owner) helped us tailor the safari perfectly based on our preferences and expectations months in advance. The lodges, tented camps included in the safari were excellent. The safari itself completely exceeded our expectations, thanks to our phenomenal guide MOSES. He made every moment of our five-day safari super enjoyable and was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. He is extremely kind and fun to talk to. And he is also an absolute expert on the national parks we visited and all of the animals we spotted. He always knew where to find the most interesting animal scenes; we were able to see all of the big five on several occasions, and most of them extremely up close. Thank you Moses for an unforgettable experience!!!!Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro are extraordinary places to visit. We would recommend a safari there to anyone!!

Amazing, affordable 8-days-camping-Safari in the northern circuit with the best driverguide and chef
5/5

My brother and I had an amazing week with the best imaginable driverguide and an excellent chef. The safari was unexpectedly private (without paying a higher price), as the organization didn't find any other customers to join us. The communication with taste of afrika worked out well, they considered all our wishes concerning the transfer from the airport at our arrival, the duration in the particular national parks or the routes we took to get there. Also the payment worked without complications.
We visited Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP and our Driverguide (Gabrieli Naftal) was the best in spotting animals and explaining a few facts about all of them. He really has a huge knowledge concerning tanzanian wildlife and culture!
The campsites were well chosen and Massawe (our chef) took good care of us. His cooking was delicious! Although there are no fences around the campsites we never felt unsafe. On the contrary, it increased our wildlife experience enormously.
I have to admit, as the safari was very affordable for such a long trip, we were quite sceptical in advance. But as soon as we got there, we were thrilled by the great organization and the kindness of the taste of afrika employees. I would book another safari with this organization without hesitation!
