10 star safari
Out of 5 stars, Travel for Change in Africa gets a 10+++. Of the 500 tour operators in Arusha, Tanzania, Travel for Change is the one to work with. My husband and I just returned from an amazing safari and 4-day extension to Zanzibar. Patricia, Silvia, Praise and the entire team delivered the trip of a lifetime. I was impressed with their attentiveness to our wishes and their attention to detail. Everything about the trip was well beyond our expectations, and our expectations were high as I had been to Tanzania before. Patricia did a phenomenal job of planning, Silvia as our primary contact on the ground and Praise as our guide. I appreciated their respect for the animals, cultures, environment and the rules of the Serengeti. The accommodations were some of the finest we've ever experienced, particularly the Kubu Kubu tented camp. Praise took the time to explain what we were seeing and was very knowledgeable about the many bird species, plants and trees, in addition to the mammals that everyone goes to see. The entire team made us feel very special and well cared for. We can't say enough or thank them enough.

Excellent customer service, amazing experience
Patricia and her team did everything possible to give my friend and I a wonderful and unique safari experience. She thought of everything - even small details - and ensured that this once-in-a-lifetime experience will never be forgotten. If you want an affordable (relatively, because safaris are not cheap) experience with a company that will look after you, do not hesitate to go with Travel for Change Africa. I can't thank them enough for the wonderful communication, attention to detail, and the care they have shown throughout my entire journey. Highly recommended, indeed.

They provided a full service safari that was incredibly well organized at an affordable price.
My wife and I just returned from an amazing week long trip to Kenya, that was entirely arranged by Patricia from "Travel For Change". She took care of all the details from air reservations, to arranging our lodging and meals as well as providing us the worlds best guide and driver, Max. Every detail was perfectly attended to, and they receive our very highest recommendation. You are going to be spending A LOT of time with the guide/driver, so this is a very important component of the trip. We couldn't have been happier all around.

Amboseli National Park Tour
These guys were fantastic. They went above and beyond to ensure we saw the big 5. They were very knowledgable about the area, park, wildlife and fauna.
They provided all accommodation & food and it was all excellent.

Excellent planning and execution by Patricia
We have considered four different travel operators for the private safari tour for our group of 4 adults for 16 days in March of 2017. Patricia from Travel for Change Africa proved to be the most professional of them all, with an admirable attention to detail, flexibility, and great communicational and organizational skills. She offered us a truly luxurious safari experience within a still competitive budget, and she managed to execute it all in style. Any hiccups, while only expected in Africa especially during such a long trip, she resolved flawlessly, even managing to upgrade our accommodations a notch higher (as in the Four Seasons). Traveling in Africa one needs to be prepared for the unexpected, but it was comforting to know there were professionals one could rely watching over us to help smooth the ride. We had traveled hundreds of miles throughout Kenya and Tanzania, oftentimes hazardous to say the least, yet we would all come back to do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended. Cheers to Patrick (our guide in Kenya)

Excellent Tour company
I and Charlie visited Tanzania between 4th Feb. and 10th Feb 2017. From the planning stage to the real journey, everything went well. visited Ngorongoro, crater , Ndutu and Serengeti. The experience was amazing, never seen so many lions in my entire life. It was a real pleasure to plan the trip with Patricia and the entire crew. The camps and hotels that were recommended are of very high standard.
Overall we had a great trip. Special thanks to our guide Silvia and Elias who were with us up to the end of our trip. They were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. We will surely travel with you again

Amazing Family Safari in Ngorongoro with Travel for Change
Going on safari in Tansania was a dream I had since my daughter was born. As I had been on safari before, I wanted to experience it with her as well. So when she turned 5, we felt it was time to do it.
We selected Ngorongoro because of the beautiful scenery, many animals in relatively compact area and the high altitude to minimize the risks of getting malaria. We got offers from around 10 safari tour operators.
We finally selected Travel for Change because they met all our requirements: private safari, accommodation above 1800 meters altitude, a convincing programme (not too much driving since we were with a small child), social responsibility, and a very good pricing! Throughout the booking process, they were impressively flexible to adjust the programme to our desire and needs. We went through several rounds of adjustments until we were completely satisfied.
The 5-day safari also went very well. Our Travel for Change guides (Elia and Silvia) were knowledgeable, kind, helpful and understanding for our special needs with a small child. Most importantly, our guides always asked if any adjustments were needed, and were always flexible to make short-term changes to the programme – for example, when we felt tired, or felt like sleeping longer. The places we stayed in were awesome too, especially the Angata Camp in Ngorongoro blew our minds away. Great tents with their own showers, great food and beautiful location from where you get down into the crater in a few minutes (on the east side, with less other cars!). From our tents in the Crater Forest Lodge we even saw elephants grazing 50 meters from our tents. We made day trips to Lake Manyara, Lake Olmoti Crater with visit to a maasai village market, and of course Ngorongoro Crater. All of the activities were great experiences, we felt to be gaining both nature and cultural insights. The whole tour went smoothly without any issues.
I would recommend Travel to Change Africa to all my friends who are looking for a reliable, flexible and socially responsible safari operator. Thanks to all their team for this trip!!!

Unforgettable Safari tour of North Tanzania with Travel for Change Africa
Our first ever African Safari in Tanzania of 4 nights and 5 days was wonderful.
The accommodations selected in the middle of jungle in the wilderness were outstanding with typical African jungle touch.
The guide and driver were very good and had smiles on the faces all the time.
The driver knew his way well and was very good

One of the best trips in a long time!!
We decided to go for the Classic Kenya Tour in May 2016. It was an unforgettable experience that I wouldn't want to miss in my recent travel history! The trip was on the one hand adventurous, but on the other hand we also had enough time to relax and let the daily life behind us. The nature was simply stunning and let us speechless in many occasions. It was great to see how welcoming people were and we were always offered extremely nice places to stay for the nights. Finally - and most importantly - the tour was very well organized and the guys were very responsive during the booking process and throughout the tour. The staff makes you feel really valued and you can establish good relationships. All in all definitely a trip that I can recommend to anyone - thanks again!
