The best Safari company in Tanzania in my opinion.
My husband and I and two friends went on Safari with Parakuyo Safari and Tours and had the best experience ever. Meleck is very knowledgeable about the animals as well as the culture of the area so if you had any questions he could give you an answer. The service started as soon as we stepped off the plane at Kilimanjaro airport...there was someone there to help us get our visa so we didn’t have to stand in line, which was awesome after a long flight. The whole two weeks we were on Safari we were his focus, he would always check to see that we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our time in Tanzania. We had decided before we left home that we wanted to do a balloon ride over the Serengeti, so Meleck made all the arrangements for that also...it was a highlight for us!! We also wanted to go to Zanzibar for a week after our Safari and again; Meleck arranged it all, flights and accommodations. If you have the chance I would recommend Zanzibar after a Safari, it was so nice to just relax before the long flight home. Meleck, Ombeni and Ibrahim are a great team and are now friends for life. We shared lots of laughs and learned a lot about each other and our cultures. I’m trying to convince them they need to come to Canada to experience our winters!! Thank you Meleck and team for everything you did for us, memories forever.

Meleck provided us with amazing cultural and wildlife viewing experiences! The trip of a lifetime!
We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Meleck and Parakuyo Tours! During the planning phase of our trip we received enough information that we arrived in Tanzania well prepared for our safari, and from the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro airport we were made to feel welcome and at ease. The food, lodging, and friendliness of staff exceeded all of our expectations.
Melecks in depth knowledge of the animals and their habitats enabled us to learn about and to see many more animals than we had originally thought. We were amazed by the number animals we did see and how close we were able to get to them. We have some great pictures and videos!
Because we were interested in the local people and culture, Meleck provided us with the opportunity to meet and talk with people and to take part in a number of cultural activities. He was very knowledgeable about the people, history and local culture.
The quality of our trip is a direct result of Melecks attention to detail, his high degree of prepardness, and well as his desire to provide his clients with the very best possible experience.
We will definitely recommend Parakuyo Tours and Safaris to anyone who is interested in experiencing Tanzania!

Best of experience with Parakuyo Tours & Safaris
I would love to recommend Parakuyo Tours & Safaris team for excellent service and incredible experience we've had with them. I've met Meleck John for the 1st time in 2004 while travelling to Arusha for my very 1st safari experience and then again in 2013 on my second visit. On my first visit in 2004, I was with 2 friends from France and we did not have anything booked in advance.We opted to ask around for a private guide and Meleck John got recommended to us. We went with him on a 1 day safari tour at Ngorongoro national park and it turned out to be an amazing experience. John is very honest, funny, friendly and extremely patient person. He is very knowlegeable and very generous sharing his culture and land.We learnt a lot about different landscapes, customs, animals and tribes. He is excellent at spotting animals and always ensured that we saw all different species. I remember that we even managed to see lions on our 1 day visit which is not always gained in advance and it was impressive.We felt very safe in his company and had great fun - Since then me and my friends have been recommending Meleck and his company to all our friends who go to Tanzania for a Safari-tour experience and they all come back thrilled with the experience and amazing service received from Meleck and his team.
I would highly recommend Parakuyo Tours and Safari for high quality service, great fun & unforgettable lifetime memory in one of the most beautiful countries in East Africa. You won't find a such honest & professional team anywhere else in Tanzania!!!
Thanks again Meleck for one of the very best experiences of my life. I will for sure come back again :)
