Amazing adventure and honeymoon with Tanzania Explorer!
5/5

When we first got in contact with Tanzania Explorer we told them to book our trip as a honeymoon, Safari and then the white beaches of Zanzibar. When we later emailed our contact Christine ,and told her that it actually would be a honeymoon they really surprised us. The crew organised transport to the Norwegian embassy and an amazing (!) dinner at the villa before we left for our safari. The head of the villa Sawadi escorted us to the embassy and helped us take our picture during our wedding. We could not have a better day, or wedding!

We went on safari for 8 days with the best guide, Davis! When we left for Zanzibar we actually debated if it was normal to miss the company of our guide this much. He is extremely knowledgable when it comes to both animals, the regions, politics and culture. As well, as having a good sense of humour! If we ever are so lucky to return, we would book him in a heartbeat! We asked if it was possible to watch the semi-finals (World cup 2018), and he arranged so that we were able to watch it at one of the villages close to the lodge.

At the recommendation of Tanzania Explorer we went for the southern circuit; Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha. Not only was the lodges, animal life and landscape amazing, but you really felt that you were alone at the safari, it was a truly afantastic experience (especially as newly-weds). The accommodation was excellent, as well as the food. We had a good variety when it comes to the safari, "mini serengeti", the rainforest with lots of monkeys and beautiful landscape, and game drive in Ruaha national park (which has to be the most beautiful sight in Tanzania?).

When we arrived in Zanzibar we were two days in Emerson Spice at the recommandation of Tanzania Explorer and after 8 days in the "bush" this luxury hotel was just what we needed. The food, service and room was over-the-top. A wonderful way and start to a Zanzibarian-adventure. During our stay we were checked up by their guide Banja in Zanzibar to check if we needed something (book a trip etc), and if everything was okay. If you needed something you always felt it was okay to contact the TE crew!

If you are in doubt on what agency to use for your safari I would look no further. I think we contacted three different ones, but we had an instant feeling when communicating with Christine that this was the right pick for us. Everything went according to plan and beyond expectation. We received frequent emails from the TE crew updating us on our journey beforehand , and before we left the country they called to discuss everything, and answer any questions we might have had. I have never felt so safe on a trip! We have all ready recommend this agency to all our friends and colleagues, and we would absolutely use TE again!

Highly professional and dedicated operator that made our Tanzania trip magic!
5/5

Tanzania Explorer put together an amazing 4 weeks journey for us based on our wishes and priorities. The combination of Northern and Southern parks, including the wonderful drive from Manyara to Iringha, is highly recommended! Serengeti and Ruaha are complementary, unforgettable parks showing the diversity in wildlife, landscape and people of Tanzania.
We will definitely return to Tanzania since we still have Katavi, Mahala mountains and the Lake Victoria area left to explore!

This was excellent from start to end and we were very good taken care of from the planning to the departure back from DAR. Specially our Safariguide made this trip a life time experience. The way he fulfilled our wishes and how he adjusted to us as a group was remarkable.

Perfect trip to Mikumi
5/5

Tanzania Explorer did an excellent job arranging a one-day safari in Mikumi for a group of 26 students from Denmark. The students definitely enjoyed the experience! The guides managed to find both lions, elephants, buffalos, hippos, giraffes etc. The vehicles were in a very good condition and the planning and communication with the manager ahead of the trip was very professional.

An amazing adventure with incredible service
5/5

Sondre, Sam, and the Tanzania Explorer team did an amazing job setting up a 2-day safari for our group of 6. Sondre was incredibly helpful as we explored different safari options, including length and parks to visit. Once we were on safari, Sam did a great job leading us through the parks and giving us more information on the wildlife. We felt comfortable, safe, and happy the entire time.

Simply Amazing!
5/5

My trip to Tanzania was simply amazing and beyond my expectations. Everything was perfect. The planning, the lodgings, the food, the beach and the game drives. Joshua, the safari guide, was very knowledgeable about animals. He was experienced in finding the animals and did his best to find the highly desired leopard.
I felt so safe and was well taken care of during the whole trip. To the extend, that I hardly didn't need to think. Loved it and will definitely be back!

Their experience gave us an excellent profile to our trip
5/5

Our contact person listened carefully to our wishes and we had a very good communication about the profile of our trip. The planning ensured that the trip fulfilled all our expectations. To be able to travel as a separate group together with friends was great and to have the same guides following us from our arrival at the airport to our departure made this into a very personalized trip. The chosen safari-lodges had an excellent standard and the national parks showed us all the animals we had dreamt about seeing. Zanzibar with its beautiful beaches and Stone Town was a great experience and especially the visit to a typical village south on the island

No doubt - choose Tanzania Explorer
5/5

A once in a lifetime experience, and Tanzania Explorer were the one to make it come true.

We had 2 days in Dar es Salam, and stayed in their house 30min north of the city centre. It was a really nice house, amd the staff are the best

Unforgettable Experience. Perfect combo of Adventure and Relax.
5/5

Since the very beginning of the trip we didnt have to worry about anything. For 18 days our minds disconected completely of any kind of responsibility. This trip offered the perfect combination of adventure and relax.
Also, all of the staff was really friendly and took perfect care of us during our days in dar es salaam, zanzibar and the safari. We regret not having more holidays to do other activities.... but we will come back! :)
