They stole 2000 USD from me, horrible cars and services.
First I sent 50 % of the total cost and then Mr. Kabalo Mathias from the agency pushed me to send him more and more money to make all reservations. If not, he threatened me that nobody is going to pick me up from the airport. So I sent him another 2000 USD and in the end he dennied I sent it to him.
Their car was the oldiest in the safari and after an hour it broke down. We had to wait hours and lost half a day in Serengeti! No compensation was offered. The only thing he was interested in was tips, tips...
Do not use this agency, you will be very disappointed!!!

Everything we had hoped for!
Our safari trip was a dream come true. Absolute wonderful time with our guide Joel doing a week tour with us including Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and some very refreshing days of biking and hiking through the wonderful landscape of Tanzania. We had great luck with animals, got plenty of photos and even had the chance to see a pride of lions taking down a wildebeest. Comfortable accommodation and nice food. Couldn´t have asked for a better experience! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing safari tour and guide made our trip worth every penny!!
We were so excited to go on our first safari and Agama Tours met all of our expectations and exceeded them too. The guide picked us up from our hotel in Arusha and the wonderfulness of the day began. He explained what he was doing, where we were going and then also gave us a written itinerary. Once in Ngorongoro, with the guide's help we saw so many animals and enjoyed the beauty of the place. It was magical. We stayed in wonderful accomodations that exceeded our expectations. They were much nicer than we thought they'd be! and the food was delicious. Our guide was very informative and explained so much to us and told us great stories. We hope to go on several more safaris and we will always use Agama!!

Nice Safari with adventure
Tour Starts perfectly. Were picked up in Time at the Airport. Lokal Guide stayed with us in the first day in Arusha. Especially the Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater I can recommend. We saw everything we expected. With Adventure feeling in the Serengeti Campside at Night. But felt all the time Safe during the Safari. We had to built up our tents by ourself that could be arranged a little bit better organzied. Our cooke called Isa was so friendliy and meals were realy perfect! Many thanks to Isa.
Accomondation in Karatu was Panorama Inn Hotel. Nice accomondation but take care of your belongings and money. The staff in the hotel grapped some money from us.
The coffee plantation we also stayed one Night was perfekt. Here we felt totaly Save and everything especially the meals are great. I can realy recommend this Location and I would prefer to stay longer there if possible.
The cultural part of our tour was one the one side a good experiance (hunting with the Hadzabe) in the other side it felt a little bit artificial meeting Masai people. No need to do that!

Unforgettable experience!
In November 2015 I made my first Safari in Tanzania with Agama Tours and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfect organized: the hotels outside the parks were very comfortable, the 2 nights of camping in the middle of Serengeti were a great adventure and the food we got was delicious. Our guide was very skillful and competent. He knows all the best places for the game watching and we were able to see lots of animals on our 5 day-tour around Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I highly recommend Agama Tour to everyone who wants to make an unforgettable experience in Tanzania’s beautiful nature, see a wide range of different animals, be accompanied by nice staff and this all for a very appropriate price.

Fantastic, well organized
My family and i, total 12 people applied with safaribookings. First time to Tanzania for all of us. We contacted 5 different operators and ended on Agama, best response and offer. The outcome was no different. A well organized private luxury 8 day tour was tailored for us perfectly. Comfortable luxurious accommodation, everthing according to plan as we had discussed over email. The guide who lead our safari was very skilful, competent and safe. We were fortunate enough to see the wildbeest migration which was truly amazing. We give many thanks to the nice couple who managed this for us. Hope to come again some day! We highly recommend Agama Tours and Safaris
Great life experience
My safari tour in november 2015 was one of the most amazing trips I have ever went on. Going on a safari with Agama tours was just great, we had a great guide, a great chef and most important we saw lots of animal and fantastic nature. I would recomend any one to choose Agama Tours for their safari in Tanzania!

Fantastic in every way
Just came back from an unforgettable trip in Tanzania. After an endless search on the internet of a fitting tour operator, Agama Tours and Safaris stood out from the rest. Their warm and accurate answering was one thing but meeting them in person was like seeing my family. Our guide, Felisi was terrific. I feel I learned so much about the animals and the rest of Tanzania with him, lots of knowledge and experience and what more, just incredibly entertaining!
Highlight of the trip would be the lioness with her cubs walking right beside our car, just incredible! I feel so lucky to have seen the big 5 on my trip, although the rhinos we saw were very far away, I couldn't have asked for a better trip! Great guide and crew, great management team and nice to know they do this for a wonderful purpose- housing some of Tanzanias orphan children. I recommend anybody out there considering a safari in Tanzania to choose Agama Tours

Awesome experience of great nature
This was the first time for me doing a safari and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The hostels we stayed at outside of the parks were far better than I anticipated for the low price we payed and the two nights sleeping in tents in the middle of Serengeti where the best outdoor experience of the trip even though I got a fever one of the evenings.
On our arrival day we had problems with getting to our first accommodation in Karatu (where we where supposed to stay at the orphanage that Agama tours is supporting) because the police did not allow us to drive after dark for some reason. But we did not have to pay any extra money although we had to stay at another place than was the plan and it was not in the power of our driver to get us to Karatu that evening.
Our guide was great and we got to see a lot of animals on our 5 days of safari around Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. The best was seeing two lion brothers in Serengeti just beside the road with not a single car in sight. Being an nature nerd, my only complain was not learning more about the animals and over all nature, we got to see it but that was pretty much it. If I go on another safari in the future I would like to include a walking safari or canoeing one day to really be in the nature and also be able to see the small things that you miss from the car window. That's why the best thing was camping in the park, I would just want to have more of that.

Agama 5 day safari
We've just come home from an amazing 5-day private safari. It was a very pleasant journey. Our guide Samson was very nice and knew everything about nature and all the animals we have seen. The guide and cook also provided great service and nice meals, always asking if we were satisfied or needed anything else. We tasted real African food, which gave the safari an extra dimension. We would definitely recommend Agama to our friends, because it's a great safari for a very reasonable price.
