They were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind, making our safari an amazing experience.
RA Safaris made our trip to Tanzania an incredible and unforgettable experience. Our guides, Johnson and Salehe, were extremely knowledgeable of the habitat and animals. They were also both great drivers and even while driving could spot animals. The land cruisers were such a fun vehicle to drive in. The car’s ability to open on the top made it even easier to get a better view of the animals. There were also outlets in the land cruisers which were extremely convenient to charge our phones and camera.
We saw some spectacular sights on our game drives including many baby animals, parts of the migration, and several lion hunts. Salehe and Johnson were always ready to get up and go early in the morning and happy to drive until dusk, allowing us to see as much wildlife as possible. Salehe and Johnson were also accommodating to the many photos we wanted to take and let us take our time in capturing all the beauty that was around us. Our trip to Tanzania was truly spectacular and we do not think it would’ve been possible without the amazing guides and planning done by RA Safaris. We can’t recommend RA Safaris more!

Beyond Amazing
RA Safari is the best tour operator that we could have worked with.
I found them through a reference from a relative who has traveled with RA multiple times and always had a great experience, so going in I had some peace of mind. However, Zeph, Elli, our guide and friend Salehe surpassed all expectations.
I contacted over a dozen operators and not only were RA best pricing-wise but while traveling everything was perfect and extremely professional. A big part of your safari trip is the guide and Salehe was extremely patient with all of our requests. A big purpose of my trip was taking pictures and whether 1 or 100 shot, Salehe was always patient and careful to ensure that we got the best possible angle.
All in all, if you are going for a Safari, I only have two suggestions:
1. Go with someone local rather than a non-Tanzanian operator
2. Travel with a guide who is patient, hard-working, and genuinely likes animals. This will make a huge difference to your trip.
RA Safari was the best and I whole-heartedly recommend them

Thanks for another wonderful Tanzanian Experience
Firstly we wanted to have a Tanzanian owned and operated tour operator. RA Safaris did not let us down . They organised a fantastic itinerary of Lake Mantra, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire for my wife, my daughter and her husband and their 2 children aged 8 and 10.
We have been to the Northern Tanzanian game parks 3 times before, but this was the best trip of them all.
Our Guide/Driver (Sahele) was one of the best you could possibly find. He knew his fauna in particular his birds He was a very careful and competent driver, who managed to help other drivers out of difficulties when they got bogged in the mud. He knew how to drive in the very soft conditions. Nothing was a problem to him. He made it a fun trip for the grand children.
When we needed help for some medical and other issues, the response by the owner Zeph was terrific - speedy and effective.

Best two weeks of my life. A great experience in every regard. Worth the 46 hour round trip.
The round the clock best customer service I have experienced. Every day was an excellent adventure. No pressure no, stress enjoyment of the incredible beauty of Tanzania. There are not enough good words, or words good enough to describe my feelings toward this company and it's guides. Going back this December to experience it again.

Perfect Safari experience thanks to RA Safari
Itinerary they created was perfect. The guide, accommodation, meals were all very good.
Their response to my questions were always prompt.
Their tour price was also very reasonable and cheaper than other local agencies I contacted.
I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you RA Safari for our memorable Safari vacation.
Expert guide,a birder with uncommon knowledge, patience, & an eye for even the slightest movement
As a locally owned and guided tour operator, RA Safaris was professional in every way: knowledge of the animals and habitat was impressive, as was their graciousness in responding to our needs. Our guide was very professional, and his open, friendly manner created an atmosphere of comfort and security. RA Safaris communicated with us clearly, comprehensively and regularly during the planning phase and the tour went flawlessly. I enthusiatically recommend this company!

Kilmanjaro and Safari Tour 2016
RA Safaris have proved invaluable from start to finish. They created a terrific itinerary which they altered to suit our particular requirements.....more R&R!
The trek up Kilimanjaro was organised down to the last detail by RA Safaris. Our guides gave help when needed and explained to us about what we were seeing and going to experience. The cook created terrific dishes out of thin air and ensured that a vegetarian, a gluten intolerant and a pure carnivore were all happy! The porters could not have been more friendly and helpful. We couldn't have reached the summit without RA Safaris.
The safari we did was outstanding. We had three days during which we saw more than we could have hoped for, including a lion hunt and kill. Something I believe not many people see! Our guide on safari was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife we saw and had a great sense of humour as well.
Our accommodation was carefully chosen by RA Safaris. All our Safari Lodges were in lovely locations, were comfortable and the food delicious. Each of the four lodges we stayed in was our favourite!
Thank you RA Safaris.

The trip of a lifetime.
The service we received from RA Safaris was perfect from beginning to end. They were flexible when the size of our party changed and looked after us extremely well. Nothing was too much trouble. We climbed Kilimanjaro and went on Safari with RA Safaris and our guides were friendly, professional, helpful and knowledgeable in both cases. We felt safe and well cared for at all times. Our trip was exactly what we wanted and we were extremely grateful for the advice we were given. The trip was excellent value for money and we do not hesitate to recommend RA Safaris to anyone. I am convinced that no company could provide a better experience than RA Safaris.
