A highly professional and genuinely caring operator that makes even complex trips feel effortless.
Outstanding Tanzania & Zanzibar trip and it was perfectly planned
We have just returned from a safari and Zanzibar trip with Tanzania Explorer, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience.
We were a group of 13 people, and everything was extremely well planned and ran very smoothly from start to finish. Transfers, logistics, camps, and villas were all excellent and thoughtfully chosen. The safari was a true highlight from Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti and we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five.
What really stood out was the people. Every single person we interacted with guides, drivers, hosts, and staff was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring, which made the whole trip feel relaxed and effortless.
We would highly recommend Tanzania Explorer to anyone considering a safari or a Tanzania/Zanzibar trip.

Thank you Tanzania Explorer 🇹🇿
What a trip! Safari in Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, combined with city and beach life in Dar es Salaam! My family trip with Tanzania Explorer has been absolutely fantastic. I am so grateful for the wonderful people who contributed to making this an unforgettable journey every step of the way.
The itinerary was tailored to our wishes, and Sondre ensured a superb safari setup. Our guide was kind, funny, and knowledgeable. The lodges looked like something straight out of a travel magazine. I’ve never experienced such luxury in the bush! And the wildlife! We had the landscapes and a variety of amazing animals almost to ourselves. Truly magical!
We also had some eventful days in Dar es Salaam which I greatly appreciated. I’d especially like to highlight the welcoming staff at the villa; they helped us experience Dar es Salaam like locals, including trips to the market, local restaurants, and traditional cooking. We also got a get away to Mbudya Island where we could relax with drinks in the sun and feet in the sand.
I felt well taken care of by Tanzania Explorer throughout the entire journey. Everything exceeded my expectations—even though they were quite high to begin with! This was a safe and exciting adventure. I highly recommend Tanzania Explorer if you are considering a trip to Tanzania! 😍

Quality in every aspect - Tanzania Explorer gives you the best customized safari experience
Highly skilled safari planner, safari driver and local personnel in Tanzania gave us an unforgettable trip. The planning before the trip was excellent, hence we were all well prepared and everything went smoothly when we arrived. A What's app group ensured that we were all connected the hole trip, and every small question was immediately answered. We started with the Ngorongoro crater, and after we were located in a remote part of Serengeti and had 3 wonderful days with full days safari ( breakfast boxes and lunch boxes from the lodge in the car!) with the best driver ever! Skillful driver who knew were to find the animals, and answered all our questions about nature and culture. Lucky us stayed a few days in Dar es Salam as well, and experienced local markets, cooking and the tropical Mbeya Island, only a small tuk tuk and local boat ride away, all supported by the beautiful local Tanzania Explorer team. Key success factors are that they get to know and care about their customer and have local people knowing the destinations to the fingertip! Just check their web site and you will be convinced.

An unforgettable trip with so much exciting to experience
We had the most amazing trip with Tanzania Explorer. They fixed everything for us, no matter what it was. To meeting us at every new place, making sure we got to the right places and that everything was okey when we got to a new place. If we had any questions or problems, they fixed everything we were unsure about and answered quickly. We felt safe and taken care of the whole trip.
Everything we hoped for and a bit more
Everything we hoped for and a bit more.
Attentive and service minded travel agent.
We have been to a couple of safaris before and had quite clear demands and wishes both for lodges/facilities and animal sightseeing, this they managed to be spot on with the bookings of lodges and activities. We had our 7year old with us on this 2 week trip.
We had a wish-list and a budget, Tanzania Explorer had realism and experience and put together an fantastic trip.
We wanted to se the big cats and we got to see big cats, many cats, different cats, including Serval.
There is never a guarrantee for any animal sightseeing. They give you honest and realistic expectations about this, but will also do their utmost to spot/find the animals.
We wanted to fly balloon and they arranged for this magical experience.
We wanted to se the country and they arranged this with a train journey and a roadtrip.
Both really cool ways to see the landscape/country and experience more than just the lodges and animals.
Tanzania Explorer with all of their staff in combination with the lodges and activitis they booked have been an amazing experience.
From start to end we have been happy with the whole prosess. Planing , execution, follow up.
Everything taken care of 24/7 during our entire stay in Tanzania

Tanzania Explorer take care of really everything!
My teenaged kids and I had the perfect trip to Tanzania’s North and Zanzibar, and Tanzania Explorer accompanied us from the very beginning until the end.
From the start we felt extremely well taken care of. Our safari planner Alice's initial proposal for our trip was already quite close to what we wanted. During a call, we discussed amendments and options, and we quickly had our perfect safari planned and booked.
Alice was available at all times - we had calls in the evenings or during the weekend - and also highly responsive by mail. No question was too stupid to be asked, and everything fully answered.
I think we had the world's best guide, Joshua. He made sure that we were able to spend time "alone" with the wildlife. He shared his knowledge and interesting facts freely, and again, we could ask any question that came to our minds. On top of that he made sure we enjoyed our stays at the lodges and everything was taken care of.
Finally, on Zanzibar the team was also available at any times and made sure everything went smoothly.
I highly recommend Tanzania Explorer and will definitely book my next trip with them!

Attention to detail and they really care about their customers
As first time Africa travellers, neither of us were sure what to expect. Our safari planner Tim made sure to answer all my questions beforehand, and provided us with the perfect amount of information about our trip.
When we got to Tanzania, we were picked up at the airport, and driven straight to the villa. We were so well taken care of by the villa staff, especially Nancy and Annah. Nancy helped us arrange tuktuks, and guided us to our daily activitites. We had booked a trip with 50/50 safari and beach. I absolutely didn't want to leave the Serengeti when it was time, and I will miss it until I get back someday. We had a great safari driver, who helped us see pretty much all there is to see. If we had any questions, Tim or any of the others in the team helped us straight away. We felt so safe for the whole trip. The campsite was so amazing, it's very exhilirating living dead set in the middle of a savannah, no fences and just in unity with nature.
We saw almost everything there is to see, and were extremely lucky with our encounter with a leopard who strolled just past our car. We had some adrenaline rushing drives, and they have been life changing.
It was very nice to only have to worry about packing, and leaving for the airport. Everything else was sorted for us, which made the experience very enjoyable. We have fallen in love with Africa, and definitely will be return customers. Highly recommend choosing Tanzania Explorer for your adventure!

They were a perfect tour operator .
The agency was excellent, the biggest pro is that you can personalize your whole trip and how available the staff is. We were able to plan together the safari we dreamed of with very specific characteristics thanks to our safari planner. Once we arrived they picked us up and everything went wonderfully. Both in Zanzibar and during the safari all the lodges were exactly what we asked for, and our guides were very knowledgeable and made our experience unforgettable. We suggest Tanzania Explorer to all future traveller!!

A Truly Memorable Safari By Tanzania Explorer - Almost Perfect!
We had the most incredible experience with Tanzania Explorer, and we can't recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, everything was handled with care and professionalism. The itinerary was perfectly tailored to our wishes, needs, and budget, and it was clear that the team had really taken the time to understand what we were hoping for. We got planned a safari for 5 days. Three day and half day in Serengeti and one full day in Ngorongoro.
Communication was excellent throughout. The team stayed in touch both before and during the trip, checking in regularly and making sure we felt well taken care of at all times. That sense of support allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
Our guide, Joshua, was absolutely amazing — knowledgeable, warm, and attentive. Each game drive brought something new and exciting, and he had a great instinct for finding quiet spots, so we often felt like we were the only ones out there. It was amazing seeing the wildlife up close and how they existed naturally in their habitats. It was also wonderful how Joshua could read the animals behavior and respectfully showed care by keeping distance if needed. Joshua shared his passion and deep understanding of the wildlife in a way that made the whole experience even more engaging. Around the table, he brought humor and great storytelling, which added even more to the atmosphere.
We stayed at Tukaone and Ngorongoro camps, both of which were welcoming and comfortable with friendly staff. Both camps were located at beautiful destinations and offered nature beyond compare. The food was delicious and comforting after long eventful days with game-drives, and we especially appreciated how they tried to accommodate dietary needs like lactose-free meals and vegetarian options. Although the vegetarian lunchboxes were generally enjoyed, they occasionally felt incomplete, as the meat was often simply removed without being replaced with an alternative source of protein. Regardless, the lunchboxes provided were much appreciated!
That said, we did encounter one issue at Ngorongoro Camp, where dinner one evening was surprisingly limited. We were a group of four (including one vegetarian), but the portions served were barely enough for two light eaters. We noticed that groups of all sizes were served the same quantity, which left us still hungry. When we politely asked for more, we were told there was no additional food available — despite the camp not being full. This was unexpected and a bit disappointing, especially since meals were meant to be generous. Sadly, we went to bed hungry that night. We share this only in hopes that it can be improved for future guests.
Overall, though, this was truly a trip of a lifetime, and we’re incredibly grateful to Tanzania Explorer for making it all possible. We’ll absolutely recommend them to others and hope to travel with them again in the future.

Unforgettable safari experience with Tanzania Explorer!
From the planning phase and when in Tanzania from start to finish, our trip with Tanzania Explorer was nothing else than exeptional. The team took care of every detail, allowing us to fully enjoy the magic of Tanzania without a single worry. Every lodge they booked for us was beautiful and comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring the parks and coming close to nature. What truly set them apart was their level of care and personal attention. When I unexpectedly became ill during the first days of the trip, the Tanzania Explorer team went above and beyond to check in on me, offer support and ensure I had everything I needed to recover and still making the most out of the safari experience.
Thanks to Tanzania Explorer, this trip became one of the most memorable adventures of our lives. If you are planning a trip and safarin in Tanzania, Tanzania explorer is the best partner you could ask for!
