Experience of a lifetime!
My wife and I had never been to Africa before, but had been wanting to visit for quite some time. In our search we came across Tanzania Explorer who states in their slogan; "We show you Africa". They did just that- and then some!! We could not have been more happy with our choice! We came in contact with Sondre and his team who bespoked a trip which were just perfect for us as first time visitors. We were given all necessary travel information before departure, and everything were planned in detail before setting off. During our trip we stayed at 4 different locations and had 3 domestic flights. All the places we stayed at was just perfect, we were picked up and dropped off at scheduled times and everything was executed as planned - in detail. Specializing in bespoke travels, they really put together Africa like we wanted to explore it!Tanzania Explorer exceeded our expectations and we can highly recommend travelling with them. We definately will!

Great organization
We contacted Sondre in February to ask his advice on safari in Tanzania, climbing Kilimanjaro and seeing gorilla's in Rwanda. Being a group of nine persons, living in 5 different countries, wanting different things before the safari we would do together, we were not easy to manage :). We finally decided and booked in June.
Sondre handled everything very patiently and thoroughly. Very good and detailed advice and excellent service and logistics, both before the trip and during.
He advised us to do the safari in the southern, less touristic, parks of Tanzania and we are very happy that we followed his advice.
We landed in Dar (were picked up), stayed at the excellent company apartment, and were driven by Paul and Rashid to Mikumi, Udzungwa Mountains and Ruaha NP. We flew from Ruaha to Zanzibar at the end of the safari, where we were picked up and brought to our hotel by Banja.
The safari lodges (Vuma Hills, Hondo Hondo and Ruaha River Lodge) were of very good standard and served great food.
The game drives were amazing! We even saw a leopard in Mikumi, which is supposedly quite rare. Mikumi is more of a savanne, where Ruaha is greener.
We spend most of our time in Ruaha and we saw leopards and lions every day (up close and personal) and of course giraffes, elephants, hippos, zebras, bat eared foxes, jackals and many birds, big and small.
A fantastic experience!

Perfect Christmas and NewYears Safari with Tanzania Explorer
Last christmas me and a couple of friends traveled to Africa. The thought of seeing and experience the wildlife on the African savannah have always been a dream of mine.
We picked out Tanzania after reading online reviews about the area, the parks, the variation of wildlife and off course chances of seeing a lion.
We contacted Tanzania Explorer, gave them our ideas about the trip, our budget, the duration of the holiday and what we wanted to see and experience. After a little time, they came back to us with a plan, combining safari and high luxury at Zanzibar perfectly. Local and serviceminded guides and staff at the resorts made the safari so good. The guides local knowledge about the different parks, the animals and speaking english made the safari even better. Elephant, lions, crocodile, giraffs, we saw it all :) After the safari which lasted 5 days, we ended the holidays with 5 more days at Zanzibar. We lived at a place called Fruit and Spice which Tanzania Explorer recommended to us. High luxury, great service, food and a perfect place to start of the new year.
Tanzania Explorer provided us with all neccesary info about the trip on advance, vaccines, local currency, prepayments, what to expect when arriving at the airport in Dar es salaam and so on. I felt in control and taken care of throughout the entire trip. If you have plans going to Tanzania on a safari, I would definetly recommend Tanzania Explorer.

Simply the best!
Tanzania Explorer delivered an a perfect trip. From the very nice location and the apartment we rented in Dar Es Salam, with everything we needed on a daily basis, just a quick walk away.. ATM, pharmacies, grocery store and restaurants!
The Safari experience was so god, Jimbiza Lodge delivered what we were hoping for. Living in wild life! Beautiful view over the river, monkeys running around.. Perfect!
Zanzibar maybe the best place on earth… The beaches, the food, the people, the girls.. Everything is just a bit better than every other place on earth smile emoticon Hotel Sahari was perfect for us. Quiet and easy going, not to many people at the hotel. And just a short taxi drive to other restaurnats and party places!
A special thanks to our guides/drivers/family therapist/bargain-helper/advisers/wingmans Banja and Rashid that helped us alog the way with everything!

Fantastic Safari-experience
To experience a safari in Tanzania has been a lifelong dream of mine, and last january the dream was fulfilled. We were 4 guys leaving Norway, and was going for a real roadtrip in Tanzania to see the best safari locations. When we landed in Tanzania we were met for our guide in Tanzania, Rashid. He was the perfect guide, and showed us both Mikumi and Ruaha in an excellent way. I can absolutely recommend Ruaha, the place is unbelievable, with green nature, a lot of animals, and very few turists, so you feel like your in the wild, and not in a zoo.
Tanzania Explorer put up a custom trip just for us, and we couldn't be happier about it. We also combined it with a trip to Zanzibar, with beaches you can't imagine.
My best recommendations for this, and a special thanks to Sondre who made it all possible. A trip I will never forget.
