We had the Dream Safari and Climbing Kilimanjaro with Taste of Afrika
5/5

Me and my family we had the best and professional services on our 7 Days climbing Mount Kilimanjaro through Machame route combined with 3 days budgeted safari with taste of afrika safaris as the local tour Company in Moshi, we really had nice time and we recommend you to plan your trip .
We had Very good climbing equipments from their office, We also had professional Guides, Chef’s and Porters. The transfer to and from Kilimanjaro Airport was punctual, the food during our Climbing Kilimanjaro and Safari was good and delicious, accommodation before and after starting our Climbing Kilimanjaro and after safari too were perfect.
Seka and the whole team of taste of afrika were always listening to our wishes before and during our time in Tanzania (Moses, Baraka, Massawe and Peter) We really recommend Taste Of Afrika Safaris to organize your trip in Tanzania.
They gave us the best offer price fitted to our Budget of the whole trip.
Thanks alot,
(Asante sana)

Perfect service on our 7 Climbing Kilimanjaro Machame route and 5 Days Safari
5/5

Now it's few days just come down from Uhuru Peak (summit) of Mount Kilimanjaro with Taste Of Afrika Safaris, the trip was excellent. I and my Boyfriend we join the group of 6 people from UK, we had really great experience with the whole team of Taste Of Afrika. They did a wonderful job by making us to be Heroes of Kilimanjaro after our 7 Days Trekking Machame route which they call it whiskey route. Baraka our Trekking guide was very expert, he used to ask us every moment during trekking if we are ok and make sure before start everyday that we are fit to go ahead. Prior driving to the gate on the starting point of Kili Baraka checked everything that we got it. Our assistance Guide, Chef and porters were just excellent, food was super too, and health.You will not regret if you book with taste of afrika, we actually booked our 5 Days Camping safari with them after coming down from Kilimanjaro because we had simply excellent services from them. Our request was to join the group and we had it. It was the great group of our trip! Thank you to Seka, Baraka, Mbise, Jacob, Ben and the whole crew of Porters.

Lemosho Kilimanjaro track and Tanzania safari
5/5

In organization of Taste of Africa 3 of us had 8 days Lemosho trail with all three summiting Uhuru peak. All went perfectly - the organization, support team, food - all. We are specialy keen on our guides Bryson and Lucas as thanks to their knowledge we avoided all effects of altitude sicnes withouth ussing any medicine. Both tumbs up for the agency and their mountain team - perfect. It is worthy to mention the rediness of agency to answer to all customizations requested by us. Thanks again.

After mountain experience we took this safari with the same Taste of Africa agency and the result was the same. All “big 5” in our photo albums and many more animals, perfect custom made tour for 3 persons, great accomodation, wehicle and food. I have specialy to underline the skils of our guide/driver Mozes to find the animals and for good safari this is most important. Another perfect experience with Taste of Africa.

9 days budget camping safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Natron and Eyasi
5/5

Our private 9 days safari with Taste of Africa was outstanding! We created tailor-made itinerary and it was our excellent guide as we explored all Northern Circuit. We chose the parks, places to visit and lodges for some nigts instead of public camps with no additional cost. We added Lake Natron and Lake Eyasi to our Northern Circuit itinerary and did not regret summiting the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano (only 30 percent of climbers summit it according the local guide as it is very challenging), seeing the Natron lake with amazing flamingos and meeting Hadzabe and Datoga tribes by the lake Eyasi.
Thanks for the fun driver, great guide and friend Daniel and amazing kitchen chef Massawe. We all got along well and enjoyed our evening talks after dinner. We always felt Daniel puts an extra effort in game drives and spotting the animals and we appreciated alot. We felt safe along the way, enjoyed our bumpy rides and crossing the flooded river with jeep was something really brave and fun! The most memorable moments: cheetah hunting gazelle and bunch of buffaloes eating grass around our tent at night.
They made our dreams a reality to see all Big 5 up close (except rhino, but we still saw it with binoculars; it's very difficult to spot it close).
The best price for the best safari with the best team! A really memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Life changing experience! Ask for Moses!
5/5

Taste of Afrika is an excellent, highly professional company, and Moses is the best safari guide one can dream of.
Our experience with Taste of Afrika was outstanding. Seka (the owner) helped us tailor the safari perfectly based on our preferences and expectations months in advance. The lodges, tented camps included in the safari were excellent. The safari itself completely exceeded our expectations, thanks to our phenomenal guide MOSES. He made every moment of our five-day safari super enjoyable and was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. He is extremely kind and fun to talk to. And he is also an absolute expert on the national parks we visited and all of the animals we spotted. He always knew where to find the most interesting animal scenes; we were able to see all of the big five on several occasions, and most of them extremely up close. Thank you Moses for an unforgettable experience!!!!Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro are extraordinary places to visit. We would recommend a safari there to anyone!!

Amazing, affordable 8-days-camping-Safari in the northern circuit with the best driverguide and chef
5/5

My brother and I had an amazing week with the best imaginable driverguide and an excellent chef. The safari was unexpectedly private (without paying a higher price), as the organization didn't find any other customers to join us. The communication with taste of afrika worked out well, they considered all our wishes concerning the transfer from the airport at our arrival, the duration in the particular national parks or the routes we took to get there. Also the payment worked without complications.
We visited Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP and our Driverguide (Gabrieli Naftal) was the best in spotting animals and explaining a few facts about all of them. He really has a huge knowledge concerning tanzanian wildlife and culture!
The campsites were well chosen and Massawe (our chef) took good care of us. His cooking was delicious! Although there are no fences around the campsites we never felt unsafe. On the contrary, it increased our wildlife experience enormously.
I have to admit, as the safari was very affordable for such a long trip, we were quite sceptical in advance. But as soon as we got there, we were thrilled by the great organization and the kindness of the taste of afrika employees. I would book another safari with this organization without hesitation!

Great experience for a mid-range safari! Affordable prices and awesome guide
5/5

We are 3 canadian travellers. We did a 5 day safari trip with this company. Seka, owner, was responsive to our emails. And gabe, our guide, made all the experience better! We stayed at a mid-range camp for 2 nights in serengeti (tent with beds, shower , bathroom) and the remaining two nights, we stayed at a Bougainvillea (5 star villa) it was great! We paid about 1700 CAD per person

Amazing safari tour
5/5

We arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport and Mr Seka himself came to pick us up :) and dropped us to the overnight hotel that was included in Arusha. The hotel was good with all basic needs for one night. Early morning Mr Seka, Gabriel (our driver) and Ms Meggie came to see us and also to go through our safari itinerary. After that we took off for the tour. We had a 4 day tour (Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and it was totally amazing. Our first day in Lake Manyara was really awsome, we saw so many monkeys, elephants and so many different kind of birds. Unfortunately there are no giraffs or lions here.
Second morning we were heading for Serengeti, another amazing place to see. Here you can see almost every animal if your are lucky. After game driving the whole day, by late evening we drove to our camp site which was based inside Serengeti. This was also awsome, to sleep in a camp in the middle of the wild nature. In the middle of the night we could hear hyenas and hogs. They had a lot of security around the camp site so there was nothing to worry about, but very thrilling to imagine what would lie behind those long grass when you wake up in the morning!
Third morning we started from inside Serengeti and did some game driving there till evening.
The fourth morning, our last safari day, we were heading for Ngorongoro, the crater,, also a very special and awsome place. After lunch we headed back to Arusha for our overnight in hotel.
I would recommand that one should do a safari tour at least once, its so amazing and its Worth every penny/cent. We had a great driver, Gabriel, who made our trip unforgettable and he was always so happy, funny, calm and didnt rush to get too close to the animal. He always said, we dont have to get close to them, they will come close to YOU and he was right every time :) We could see some of the drivers get so up close to the animals that it didnt feel right. We could stand very far and suddenly the animal would move and come towards us instead, so just have patience and you will enjoy more and get more upclose to the animal than you would ever imagine.
During lunchtime our driver took us to picnic site where you could stretch your legs, go to washroom and enjoy your lunch pack in the middle of the wild park.
Example when we were in Ngorongoro on picnic site. Just after arriving suddenly we saw behind us over the hill so many zebras trying to get down, where all of us were sitting enjoying lunch, but I guess they got scared seeing us all there and rounded the hill instead
Your daily lunch pack and water is included, but my advise is to bring some dry snacks, like roasted nuts, cassava chips, maybe some dry fruits.
If you feel sick sitting in a car for a long time you should probably bring some medicine for road sickness.
Also bring some warmer clothes, maybe some warmer hats and gloves. We had brought spring/autumn jackets but we still felt very cold during morning time, after 11 am it gets warmer.
In every gate before entering a national park there are good washrooms, make sure you go before you leave :) It will take couple of hours before you make it to the closest washroom again :) Unless you want to go for a bushtoilet, like our driver Gabriel used to joke with us :) :)
Overall this was the best experience ever and we have already decided to come back again and book with same company.
Mr Seka is excellent, you can just mail/call him and tell him what your budget and what kind of tour you want and he will book it according to your requirements. This is a quite new company, but very reliable and trustworthy. There were no problems transferring money or to get receipts for you bookings from Mr Seka.
Mr Seka and Ms Meggie thank you so much for this life time experience. And the opportunity to get to know you both! Mr Gabriel, you were amazing, cant imagine there could be any better driver than you. You made our trip the best ever! You are the best!
We miss you all very much, but we will be back 2020!!
