It was a great safari trip for me
I would say this is a very excellent trip for me during the 8 days in Tanzania. The safari guide is excellent, we have lots of fun during the trip. Lots of my friends want to get more information about this trip when I share my photos in the WeChat, I would no doubt like to recommend this to my friends if they want to visit Tanzania for safari tour. Hopefully I could come to here in near future again.

a perfect solution for those who like observing animals for a long time
Furahia represents a perfect solution for professional and non professional photographers who desire to discover the natural behavior of the animals under all weather conditions.
The cars have been adapted to capture beautiful images of nature: animals in motion, incessant rain, hard to reach areas. All that a person fallen in love for nature desires to see.
As well the cars are excellent under the point of view of safety and comfort, not luxury but perfect for driving in all contexts and weather conditions. Full of gadgets useful for photography they guarantee a perfect trip.
So that I can testify that my safari was above my expectations thanks to Furahia and thanks to a really professional and excellent Italian guide, an excellent photographer and very professional driver.
Thanks for all. I'll come back next year!!

The Best Day Of Our Life - Highly Recommend - Saw 4 out of the big 5 in a single day in Tarangire NP
Simply cannot praise enough the entire Furahia Tanzania Team for the amazing safari experience we had in Tarangire National Park.
From start to finish, the service has been exceptional. Prompt communication both over email and Whatsapp, meticulous organisation based on all our requirements and needs, great attention to details and impressive knowledge about the area and wildlife. All of the staff speak good English, as well as several languages so conversations were a breeze.
Even though we were very limited with the time we could spend in the area, Jastone, Philbert and the rest of the team made sure we make most of it, with tailoring a cultural tour and safari game drive, as well as managing to arrange brilliant accommodation at Roika Tented Lodge last minute. The diversity of wildlife in Tarangire was amazing, so great advice from Furahia to choose this area for the safari - talking crowds of zebras, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, wildebeests, ostriches, warthogs, antelopes,and many more. Not only that, but we managed to see 4 out of the big 5 in a single day, including lions and leopard, which is unbelievable.
Their vehicles are specially adapted with huge windows, allowing for photography enthusiasts to snap their hearts out through the entire safari.
The best part is that they are a local company, with their owner and staff truly cherishing all of Tanzania's natural and cultural treasures, by also supporting and contributing back the local community and the youth future. Can't recommend this company highly enough!
Thank you sincerely for the amazing experience Furahia team!

An excellent experience and a wonderful safari
We spent 11 days in the North of Tanzania with Furahia, we did wonderful safaris at Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro Crater and at Serengeti NP; we visited also some populations as Hadzabe, Datoga, Masai etc.
Our guide was very well prepared, he knows the parks, the animals and we always were in the right place in the right moment; he was also a very good person, it was a really pleasure to travel with him, we enjoy a lot.
Also the car was well equipped and new, it was very comfortable, their windows were so big and very useful to take pictures.
It wasn't our first time in Northern Tanzania but surely it was the best thanks to Furahia and its staff.

Excellent holiday in Tanzania
Excellent team and organisation. We enjoyed a very complete holiday trip in Tanzania including a climb of Kili, a safari tour and a beach break in Zanzibar. The Furahia team was friendly, professional and very proactive. The choice of the hotels was good ad smart. I would recommend them to anyone.

Tanzania
We had a wonderful time! In all honesty, I was unsure that Furahia Tanzania was going to meet our expectations especially when my deposit and final payment were going to a Postal Box. I did some due diligence , but mostly trusted that there would be no issues. There were absolutely none.
We were immediately met upon our arrival by Safe, our guide and driver for the next ten days and a friend for life. Safe proved remarkable capable and cooperative. His knowledge of Tanzanian floral and fauna was both entertaining and enlightening. His knowledge of English was extensive and thorough. He was always punctual, patient and professional. Safe also ensured that we were always safe from both animals and street vendors. He taught us some basic Swahili words and the names of the animals we saw. Safe was also very flexible. He encouraged us to have him stop if there was something that we wanted to take a closer look at or for a photo opportunity. He was also flexible when it came to skipping things or stops that didn’t interest us or spend extra time at places that did. Safe put life and energy into the tour and without someone like him, our safari would have not been as wonderful as it was. He was perfect.
The vehicle were used was fine. There was a problem with the radio. Drivers use their radios to inform others where there were opportunities to see the more elusive animals, but Safe did just fine without a working one. Due to his knowledge and experience, we were often the first or even only people watching a pride of lions or observing cheetahs and leopards. On our last day, the observation roof’s strut broke. This was disappointing, but understandable given the road conditions experienced. Safe washed the vehicle at least three times including cleaning the interior. There were no mechanical issues even though we saw numerous other vehicles at the side of the road including those operated by the larger safari companies.
The itinerary and lodgings organized by Angel were varied and very different. The scheduled overnights may not be for everyone as they ranged from a basic room and no frills breakfasts to luxury accommodations and gourmet meals (Villa Luna). I would recommend Villa Luna for your arrival night and the night prior to your departure as you are pampered by Viki and Alex. Regardless, they were all clean, safe- even with elephants walking past our “tent” in the middle of the night, food plentiful and each unique in its atmosphere, staff and accommodations. As a word of caution, make sure that the lodgings you stay at are suited to your expectations. Ours were not rough or unpleasant, but if you go just make sure you will be comfortable. We were. While nature and Safe provided the daylight experiences, Angel organized the evenings. Well done Angel.
The one negative, but completely understandable element of our trip was the last day’s activities of a tour of a local town. This tour included a walk through banana growing plantations, local lunch at a Women’s project and the town, but also had stops at wood carving and picture painting sites, where items were offered for sale. I didn’t particularly like the retail aspect. The tour of the school and the demonstrations of the 3-6 year olds were very special especially for my wife who is an elementary school educator. I said it was understandable and this is because the company is active in the community with regard to AIDS prevention, youth activities and donates a portion of the profits back to the Mto wa Mbu community.
All in all, there are bigger and better known safari providers, but I would rather go with Furahia Tanzania because of our experiences and our very positive memories of Tanzania, Safe, the parks we visited and the places we stayed.
