Perfect Safari!
For us a perfect safari consists of a good guide, comfortable car, spotting the Big Five, unexpected adventure, witnessing a kill, seeing a cheetah so close you can almost touch him, lovely lodges/tents, good weather, delicious food, new knowledge.
Ajabu Adventures made all of this possible for us!
Special thanks to our friendly and more than good guide Juma!
We hope to come back to Tanzania in a few years. Ajabu sana, kwaheri! The Nap Family

Awesome adventures with Ajabu
We spent ten days on safari perfectly organised by Anja and Gert who put together a fantastic itinerary for us to see the northern Tanzanian parks. Hard to pick out the highlights since each day gave us so many memorable moments. Tree-climbing lions in Manyara, migrating herds of wildebeest in the Serengeti, the awesome Ngorongoro crater, a night safari, an early morning balloon ride followed by breakfast, getting close up and personal with elephant families, watching the day-to-day fight for survival - you name it we saw it. 2500 kilometres in a great off road Land Rover (envied incidentally by many of the Land Cruiser drivers we met) driven by the inimitable Juma who could spot a leopard miles away up a tree at the same time as negotiating rough tracks and found us memorable picnic spots each day to eat our packed lunches, as well as remaining helpful, friendly and knowledgeable throughout what were often long and gruelling days of driving. Each lodge/camp we stayed overnight in brought new excitement, buffalo snuffling around in Kubukubu, elephant only yards away from our tent in Tarangire. Never a dull moment, it may well be our last safari as we are not as young as we were, but what a holiday to remember! Thank you Ajabu for making it possible.

A beautiful introduction to the animals, the land and the people of Tanzania.
We had never been to Tanzania before. Ajabu Adventures organized everything for us in a way that really enabled us to experience life in and around the Serengeti. Ajabu couldn't do enough for us. They took care of all the arrangements, the communications, the lodging so that we could focus on the animals and the land. A big plus was our driver/guide. He knew so much, taught us so much and was as excited as we were to see the animals even though he is native to the region and has done this hundreds of times. We will go back again and will happily book through Ajabu. I am so glad we went with this smaller company.

Great experience for the whole family!!
We have been to Tanzania for over 2 weeks with our family with 2 children aged 11 and 14. First a week safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti) with a day in between with a visit to the Masai and a banana plantation. Then 8 days Zanzibar to attend all the experiences.
The trip was from Amsterdam directly to Arusha and then after a week safari flew at the Serengeti and from the Serengeti to Zanzibar (via Arusha). We flew back from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam and then back directly to Amsterdam. This is a really relaxed travel schedule (thanks for this great schedule Ajabu).
Everything was well arranged and the accommodations that Ajabu had chosen were beyond expectations.
From the first moment we arrived at the airport in Arusha and our Issa guide, we were waiting for a familiar and safe feeling.
We want to give our compliments to Issa, a great guide !! We did not think we could do better.
The Land Rover was also a super car and it brought us everywhere very comfortable.
Zanzibar and the flights to it are unforgettable and we will not forget this stay at Bellevue soon.
Myself and my son have had several days of kite lessons, fantastic !!
A real treat for anyone who wants to enjoy the true nature and ending a stay at Zanzibar is highly recommended!

We recommend Ajabu Adventures for an amazing Safari in Tanzania
In June we visited Ajabu for the 3th time with Ajabu. We love Tanzania!!! And also this time we enjoyed our stay just as much (or even more) than before.
We recommend Ajabu because you can arrange your safari exactly like you want it to be. They know the best and most beautiful places to stay or to visit. Choose the parcs you want to visit, how long you want to stay in each park. Everything is possible. Ajabu arranges high or low end accomodations, according to your wishes. They know the best places to stay during your safari.
Our guide was Juma who is really very friendly,enthousiastic and know everything about Africa, her nature, wilde animals etc etc. Impressive!
After 1 week safari we went to Zanzibar. Heaven on earth! A really nice place to rest on the beautiful beach or plan activities like spotting dolphins of kiting.
Ajabu Adventures: Asante sane for our amazing time. We hope to see you again!

Second time Ajabu Adventures, perfect again!
We made a 8 days tour. We visited Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Tarangire NP and the impressing Ngorongoro. We were travelling with Ajuba Adventures for the second time, because the safari’s of Ajabu we know are perfectly customer made. We like to stay in nature, we prefer to sleep in tented camps, to get up early in the morning. Our guide Juma, organized the trip perfectly according to our wishes.
When you are looking for a well organized, and also really customer made safari Ajabu Adventures is a perfect choice.

Another amazing trip !
We got to know Ajabu Adventures when we first travelled to Tanzania in 2014. It was an unforgettable trip and so we decided to go back this year. And again, the team of Ajabu put together a beautiful trip in this amazing country. Visiting the national parks with an experienced guide brings so much added value. But seeing the great migration at the Mara-river really brought tears to our eyes... So for us, the choice is easy: next year we go back to Tanzania with Ajabu Adventures !

Lifetime memories
Our experience with ajabu safaris from start to finnish was excellent. From the
iniatial contact with anja sorting out our itinary was easy and straight forward. When we arrived in Tanzania our guide Juma was there to meet us, for the next 8 days we experienced a wonderful safari due the experience and knowlede of Juma. He took his time where other guides just seem to soeed everywhere. due to his patience and knowledge we saw the big 5 but more importantly we learned about the animals and there environment and the measures to stop poaching. We could not have had a better guide.
We will rember ou trip for our liftime
and Juma.

It costs something but then you also have something!
We wanted to go to Tanzania for some time but found the trips offered very expensive. This year we decided to go and opted for Ajabu because we heard very good reports about it. It is true: it costs a lot of money, but it was more than worth it! What a beautiful country, what beautiful parks, what a nice people, what a very nice guide we had with Juma and what a particularly well-cared-for journey. We literally did not have to worry about anything, everything was arranged and often paid for.
Tanzania permanently closed in our hearts!
Ajabu, asanta sana !!!

Amazing 2 weeks holiday in Tanzania
We spent an amazing 2 weeks in Tanzania over Christmas/New Year. Thanks to Anja, everything was booked perfectly and according to our wishes. We were travelling with my parents and my 2 young children (7 and 9) so we had a lot of extra requests and she did everything to accommodate them. Issa our safari guide and driver was fantastic, his English is great and he knows the parks and their wildlife very well. We even saw cheetahs!!! Our resort in Zanzibar had everything that we had asked for. I can't recommend Anja and Issa highly enough, they will do everything to make it a wonderful and memorable experience for you.
