Authentic experience
Raja put together an authentic Tanzania adventure.
He listened to what I was searching for, and matched my plans perfectly.
As a solo traveler; I toured Dar es Salaam with Ally, and went on a Selous Safari adventure with Hassan. Both guides where outstanding.
I'd use Raja and travel with these guides anytime.

Excellent value for money
We went on a luxury safari arranged by Raja Tours to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. From the very first contact with Rajab, we found him very responsive to all questions on both WhatsApp and email. He arranged a superb safari and all our accommodation were really good and relaxing. When we had a delayed luggage issue with our airline, Rajab was very supportive, even helping us to purchase some temporary replacements. Our safari guide and driver was Godwin. He was really quite good - patient, knowledgeable and flexible, and making every effort to ensure we were safe and comfortable. Raja tours rates were very competitive but they still delivered just as well. I will definitely recommend them to anyone.

Excellent 7 days safari
The safari was all that we expected. Rajab is always very responsive and answered all my questions beforehand. Our guide, Bashiru, made the safari really enjoyable, and everything went according to plan.
We’re glad we chose Raja Tours!

Trip of a lifetime arranged by RajaTours. Fabulous 5 day safari then beach break in Zanzibar
Amazing Trip. Great communication with RajaTours. Correspondence by email was very quick and all queries answered straight away. Expectations on safari were exceeded. Drivers were great - experienced, informed and friendly. Saw loads of animals in both Selous and Ruaha. Vehicle, food, service, accommodation, experience all great! Couldn’t have asked for more. Trip of a lifetime.

Most amazing experience of my life
Raja, provided us with prompt and professional service right from my initial contact.
Fredy our driver, was punctual and knowledgeable. He also had a lot of patient when we wanted to stop and see something or buy something... Although some days required a lot of driving between destinations, Fredy provided us with an insight into the local culture and lifestyle.
The accommodation provided for us was excellent (Neptune hotel) with a fantastic view and all the food was amazing!
In resume an amazing experience! Thanks a lot RajaTours for an awesome Safari!

Reliable and friendly local experience
We booked a 10 days safari tour with Rajatours in the southern circuit. During planning Rajab was very quick in responding to all our requests and inquiries via email. He had a good initial proposal and was very flexible in adjusting it to our needs. Our itinerary included 3 different parks and a lot of driving along bumpy roads across the country which could be tiring but we liked it very much as we saw a lot of villages and landscape on our way. We found the pricing decent compared to other providers that we asked, and had to pay part of the costs in advance to secure the booking. Nico our driver picked us up at the dar es salaam airport as planned. He was very professional and experienced but yet very funny and friendly which made our experience extra special. We had to change our accomodation from tent due to too much rain with very short notice. Rajab and Nico managed to book us an alternative lodge within a day with no further discussions which we found super comforting. Nico was also very knowledgeable about the roads and knew his way around all the parks and how not to get stock in the mud. It seemed like he knew all the other drivers and park rangers and was very knowledgeable about how and when to react to animals signals to avoid dangerous situations. The lodges that were suggested by Rajab were also good with very nice and friendly staff. We also ate at local restaurants and dealt mainly with local businesses which was important to us.
All in all we had a great experience and tbe trip was beyond our expectations. This was our first time doing a safari and we would for sure do this again.
If you are looking to book a safari with a local Tanzanian provider Rajatours is a great choice.

Overall a great experience totally made our trip great.
I was a little suspicious at first the website wasn't working an so I took a chance on emailing company. They responded promptly but wanted me to pay via email I was very sketched out so I asked if we could pay upon arrival, they responded as yes. I was so worries that when we arrived to Dar es Salaam no one would be there an it would be a scam. This was not that case Tony picked us up at out hotel at 0600 an we began our journey switching vehicles with Nico our tour guide. Nico was very professional an funny man he took us all over the Bush it was great we seen all the animals except a leopard which we searched for. Nico was able to give us great onsite of the park an history we even witnessed a kill. Upon our conclusion of the second day he set us up with a home visit with the masai it was a unique an unforgettable experience. I would definitely do it again.

Not Great!
This is the review of the service received from Raja Tours ( https://www.rajatours.org/) for the private 5-day Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) for two, July 2018.
Summary: Overall experience: 3/5 (could have been a lot better only if we had a better guide)
A) Itinerary: 5/5 (Rajab worked with us to customize the plan and select the parks and accommodation we wanted).
B) Driver/Guide: Driving skills 4/5 (Hashim/Hashimu was a very safe driver), Guiding skills: 1/5 (Sadly Hashim wasn't familiar with the parks, hot spots, and routs, however we were lucky enough to follow other drivers/guides to find and see some of the animals. Also, other factors contributed to this rating such as lack of communication, being unfriendly, strong focus on getting out of the park by certain time (we typically ended up at the gate 1 hr ahead of the schedule).
C) Vehicle: 2/5 (old beat-up vehicle (Toyota) with no A/C (cooling/heating), non-reclining seats, and barley functioning windows/doors (some windows wouldn't open/close, some doors wouldn't open, etc)
Again, Rajab was very responsive throughout the booking process and provided us with a great itinerary. However, considering this's a once-in-a-life-time trip, it was disappointing to have an inexperienced unfriendly guide.

Great 5 Day Safari
We had a 5 day Safari with RajaTours. Including Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Everything went smoothly. We had some really nice lodges including tented luxury lodge within Serengeti and no fences :-), Rhino lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro.
No car troubles, bad food or something like that happened to us.
Our driver was very experienced and answered alot of questions. He was an animal enthusiast. We saw the Big 5 and a lot more, only missing out on the cheetah. Overall we had a great time and can only recommend Rajab.

Every aspect was handled - we accomplished everything we wanted on safari
Gettin the variety of camps and lodges, to the multitude of animals seen, very very worthwhile trip. Gettin the point of arriving at the airport until we were dropped back at the airport.
Great value for money and our driver and guide, Alen, was always on top of everything. He also was so good at spotting animals at an incredible distance.
We stopped for lunch everyday somewhere en route and those lunches were the best meal.
I can't speak for other operators but Rajatiurs definitely delivered
