Awesome safari adventure with excellent, highly professional service
This was our second trip with Quest Horizon, They organized our 12-days safari trip to North Tanzania in 2017. This year we decided to go through Southern Circuit visiting Mikumi NP, Ruaha NP, Udzungwa Mountains NP and Selous Game Reserve. After excellent experience we had last year it was clear we would go with Quest Horizon again. In fact it was Naiman who told us about South Tanzania parks and encouraged us to consider going there.
We spent amazing 12 days on South Tanzania safari trip enjoying abundant wildlife. Not too many tourists go there - which creates ideal conditions to watch animals in their natural environment.
Everything was perfectly arranged - as during our previous trip. Our Northern Circuit guide could not go with us this time (he got malaria) but the new guide - Kazungu - was equally excellent.
Once again I can give my full recommendation to Quest Horizon. Whether you are an experienced safari traveller or novice, whether you want to go for 3 weeks or 3 days - just get in touch with them. You won't be disappointed!

10d Tarangire Manyara Serengeti Ngorogoro migration private couple. Fabulous highly recommended.
Fabulous and recommended to everyone we know. During enquiries Naiman was excellent and responded quickly and accurately, arranging our tour according to our preferences. We wanted to visit the major parks but also catch the migration during a river crossing which was in N Serengeti during our visit. Payment of deposit directly with follow up completion is ok and worked.
Accomodation was at Tanganyika lodges which exceeded our expectations and was excellent value for money. Food at lodges very good and reasonable prices for alcoholic drinks too. Packed lunches decent. No hot drinks or table cloth for lunch, fine by us, just bring a flask and fill up in the morning.
We had a private couple tour due to our preferred itinerary. Highly recommended as Steve our tour guide and driver could tailor the entire experience to us. Vehicle was the standard long Landcruiser, same as every other tour, except it didn't have fripperies such as phone charging points for each guest. Fine by us! The vehicle was reliable, we even helped pull out another tour's vehicle which got stuck.
Steve is very experienced and was lovely and perfectly pitched throughout. He just knew the land and the animals and knew when to wait and when to move on.
Parks were superb, loved Tarangire and Serengeti central and north. Would love to return to west and south.
Price wise this company is competitive compared to others for similar products and delivers an excellent experience in the animals, accomodation and overall safari enjoyment.

Good Experience
Tanzania is amazing, and my guide was very friendly and informative. The accommodations and food were excellent. There are only two reasons I did not give this five stars. The first being the truck had five separate mechanical issues within two days in the middle of the tour. The guide did his best to make sure it had limited impact on my experience. I expected some kind of issues given the road conditions. Its part of the adventure. I thought five was too many and the vehicle should not have been on the safari. It was a private luxury safari and the company made no effort to compensate me for the inconvenience, not even a souvenir or something to show their regrets. The second is I was taken to a few shops and felt pressured to spend money. If I wanted to leave before I bought anything I was sent back in with some excuse of the truck needing a rest or something stupid like that. Very tacky. These are minor issues and the animals and landscapes were amazing. I saw everything I came for. Unfortunately, the issues described prevented me from giving them five stars.

An unforgettable Safari organised by a superb team
Hard to fault anything about this trip. Naiman was super communicative and was very flexible when we had to change our dates. The airport pick up went seamlessly. The accomodation recommended and booked was good and very comfortable. We stayed a night at Mount Meru in Arusha at the start of our trip which had a lovely pool and gardens. That evening Hajid our guide came to meet us to introduce himself and discuss our safari. A nice touch. He arrived punctually the next morning and was a safe driver who was very good company answering lots of questions along the way. We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The Ngorongoro Farm Lodge was sublime. Beautiful big rooms, fantastic food and beautiful well kept grounds and pool with a wonderful welcome. Angata Tented Camp was an unforgettable experience with good food, attentive staff and listening to the animals at night in the surrounding wilds from a super comfortable bed. Impressively we even had a proper flushing ensuite toilet and hot shower!
The real hero of the trip has to be our guide Hajid. He went over and above our expectations. He found everything we wanted to see and more. He took us to great spots to view the great migration and in our comparatively short trip he found us around 25 lions, 3 cheetahs, rhinos, a wildebeest giving birth, lions mating, hippos, hyenas making short work of a carcass, jackals, bat eared foxes and any number of birds. Even before we even entered any of the parks he found great herds of giraffes and it was not just the animals. When I expressed some curiosity about the metal discs at the end of tree trunks being transported by a lorry, he stopped to ask why they did this (prevents termites). He told us so much about local life and also took us to visit a Masai Village which was interesting though a bit expensive - bargain heavily if you buy anything. The beaded item I bought for US$4.00 started out at US$30!
On our last day we were taken to the Coffee Lodge in Arusha for lunch. It was a very good meal and a nice way to end our trip. Naiman's brother came to get feedback which I thought showed how good this company is and how much they care that their clients are fully satisfied.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Quest. Their quote came in as the cheapest quote on Safaribookings.com but in no way was this reflected in the quality of service, standards of accommodation and it was really great value for money.

More than just a safari
During my stay in Africa, I went with six friends on several safaris (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) with this company and I cannot recommend it enough. The guides know what they are doing, they lead you to the best places to see animals but they also listen to you when you want to go somewhere else. The cooks are incredible and the food is delicious.
At the end of day, the staff at Quest Horizon Safaris were more friends than staff members!

Quest Horizon is a big family that makes you feel like you are a part of it.
The organization was adequate: we had everything we needed, they were on time, they were professionnal.
The people were great: the guide was friendly, the communication was easy.
The food was incredible.
I went to Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park with Quest Horizon. The people were always great, the service was adequate and the overall experience was amazing. The guide really worked hard to make sure we see everything we wanted.

Reliable Partner for private safari in Tanzania - great experience guaranteed
We went on private 12-days safari with Quest Horizon in September 2017. The itinerary covered northern Tanzania: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti and North Serengeti. We had a wonderful time, everything was perfectly arranged and we could fully focus on enyoying the nature. Recommended lodges and camps were great and food was really outstanding. We saw amazing nature scenes and lots of animals from pretty close distance - inluding big 5 of course. Our guide Fadhili was very engaged and thanks to his friendliness and sense of humor we had a lot of fun together. Fully recommended!

Great trip with Quest Horizon!
We were very happy with Quest safaris, who organised a great trip for us to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in September, on short notice. Naiman came to meet us at our lodge in Arusha to discuss the details beforehand, and also after to get our feedback - a nice touch. Our guide Rasheed was very knowledgeable and also a great spotter - in 3 days we saw 59 lions! We also saw the rest of the big 5! It was really unbelieveable! We stayed in a tent, budget safari, which was very exciting and plenty comfortable. The cook Pius made great food - my wife is a vegetarian, and I eat meat, but he catered for us both. The Land Cruiser was a bit old, but still comfortable, and actually outdrove the newer models on the steep hills up from Serengeti. Very good value for money on our trip. Serengeti is a must-see, and I can strongly recommend Quest Horizon!!! We hade 3 nights/4 days - and opted to maximize the time in Serengeti. In Ngorongoro and Tarangire half a day is enough, but do try to have a full day in Serengeti.
