A Truly Personal Experience in Tanzania.
I heard of this company after getting a good word from the only member of my extended family who's ever traveled to Africa. They had a wonderful experience with Tanzania Explorer, and with so many companies and questions when trying to plan these massive vacations, I chose to go with a known company.
I am so glad I did. From the very beginning, the process was incredibly transparent and customizable to fit our desires, needs, and comfort. After the initial draft itinerary, we were given ample opportunity to make changes, offer suggestions, and consider all the options in front of us to make sure we left Africa satisfied.
While in Tanzania, all the staff was so accommodating, communicative, and fun to be around. No stone was left unturned to ensure our experience was the best it could be.
I ended up having a health scare while in Zanzibar. And Tanzania Explorer was there every step of the way checking in on me (both in person at the hospital and over messages constantly) and ensuring I felt safe, comfortable, and that I was going to be on my feet as soon as possible. The warmth they showed me, along with the staff of the hotel I stayed at which partners closely with Tanzania Explorer, is something I'll never forget.
If you want to really customize your trip, have fun on these long game drives, and feel the kindness of Africa, go with these guys!

Exceptional, personal service for a truly bespoke Malawi family adventure
From the first contact, the team took the time to really understand what we wanted and gave clear advice on what they thought would be the best destinations and solutions. They worked closely with us through several iterations to create the perfect bespoke itinerary for our family group of five and the detailed, tailored day-by-day descriptions made the trip feel exclusive and reflected a genuinely customer-centric approach.
We landed on a 12 day trip in Malawi, flying in to Blantyre from Addis. The first three days was spent at Huntingdon Lodge at the Satemwa tea plantation where we basically had a fully staffed colonial style mansion to ourselves, enjoyed learning about tea production and had a chance to meet with people from the surrounding local villages. From there we went to spend 4 days at the Makokola resort by lake Malawi where we combined various sports activities with relaxing in the sun, and then we finished off by going to the Liwonde national park for a 3 day stay at the Mvuu safari lodge with amazing hospitality and wildlife experiences.
Before departure, their written information and personal follow-up meetings made us feel very well prepared, and throughout the trip the team remained available and attentive to any questions or concerns. When an unexpected issue arose regarding the facilities at one location, it was handled to our full satisfaction by the operator and was an exemplary demonstration of true customer service.
The debrief after we returned home made us feel truly valued as customers. The service was highly professional throughout, but also warm, friendly and personal. Would love to use their services again!

A trip beyond all expectations, with a program full of fantastic experiences from morning to evening
We had planned a tight schedule, but still with plenty of time and opportunity to rest. We started a few days in Dar, with day trips to the paradise island of Mbudya for sun and swimming. There they served freshly caught delicacies, among other things.
then we flew to Arusha, and drove to the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater where we stayed overnight via Lake Manyara National Park.
Then we drove to Serengeti for four nights and full days of safari, before finishing by visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda.
Everything was carefully planned with good information, transport, tasty meals, drinks and we were met with knowledgeable and interested people throughout the trip. We are left with memories for life and thank Tanzaniaexplorer for a fantastic program and implementation of our trip!
We highly recommend Tanzaniaexplorer for their local knowledge and commitment.

Tanzania Explorer offers outstanding service, unforgettable wildlife, and a personal, at-home touch.
The Best Holiday Experience!
Our vacation could not have started in a better way than arriving “home” to the Tanzania Explorer family at their villa in Dar es Salaam. When our luggage didn’t arrive with the flight, they helped us with some shopping and followed up with the airline, ensuring that our bags were delivered the very next day.
We enjoyed a calm and relaxing beginning with beach time on the beautiful island of Mbudya, along with a wonderful restaurant experience arranged by the team at the villa.
Then we were ready for safari and what an incredible journey it became! We had the best guide, who made every day in the bush truly unforgettable. The accommodations were fantastic, with a touch of luxury in the wilderness, and delicious meals enjoyed out in nature.
The wildlife experiences Joshua gave us were beyond anything we could have imagined. It was an adventure from start to finish.
Ending the trip with a few days of sun and relaxation in Zanzibar and Stone Town was the perfect way to reflect on all the amazing moments from the safari.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt well taken care of and felt completely safe. Communication was easy, and whenever we had questions, we received quick responses on WhatsApp.
This experience exceeded all our expectations! We have truly fallen in love with Africa and can give our highest recommendations to Tanzania Explorer and we will definitely be back!

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
