All in all a fantastic experience!
4.5/5 stars
We had an amazing experience on our private 8 day camping/lodge safari with Furahia (Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti NP with a day in Mto wa Mbu on the way). Our guide and cook were fantastic and the animals we saw blew our expectations away. Honestly, our guide was the best, comparing notes with others on safari we knew we were getting very high quality viewing and his decades of experience really showed in the Serengeti.
On the administrative side, we were able to make a detailed itinerary via email and communication was superb prior to the trip. We also met the owner when we stayed in Mto wa Mbu and he explained the good work the company does that supports the community. We did realize during the safari that our guide did not receive the detailed itinerary that we had made so we had to request and negotiate with the guide and cook the arrival and leave times some days. It can be tiring for the guide especially we understand but we wanted to make the most of our time on game drives so had the times written on the itinerary. The itinerary was also a bit ambiguous about the suggested tipping amount - per car or just the guide.
The campsites were as expected, and the camping gear that we hired was comfortable. The jeep had big windows and was a little worn both inside and out but we had no problems nonetheless. The owner was excellent with flexibility for our campsite in the Serengeti to allow us the best chance to see the wildebeest migration. This showed his dedication to our enjoyment and we really appreciated his efforts. The campsite location proved to be invaluable this season, when the migration was not as far north as expected so we were able to stay central and see the best of everything.
In the end we were extremely happy with our Safari and want to go back!

Professional, outstanding and friendly
I had a fantastic time in Tanzania. Furahia Tanzania had everything sorted out before we arrive. Communication from the first moment was very fluent and we had the possibility to adjust the trip to our own needs.
Everything happened according to what we agreed in advance and there were no surprises or last minute changes.
Our guide Tony (or how we were calling him; "Professor" Tony) really made things amazing. It was key to be with someone friendly, patience and able to answer any question we had about the animals and Tanzania in general. Experience would have been very different if the person driving us through Serengeti was not like him. Also was nice to be with someone that knows very well the National Park and able to take us to different places to see all kind of animals.
Private tours worth every penny. You can stop/go whenever you like and do not need to be compromising what you want to see with other people you do not know.
The camps were we stayed in Serengeti were above our expectations in terms of comfort, quality and style. Food was very tasty as well. It completely worth to pay extra and stay in better accommodations. After spending 10 hours in a Van there is nothing better than arriving to a camp that has good food, hot water and fantastic accommodations. Is very good value for money paying the extra for luxury accommodations.
10 out of 10 in terms of recommending doing the Safari with Furahia Tanzania, you will not regret it!

Fantastic Driver and Excellent Service
Thanks to Furahia and our excellent driver Emmanuel who made us enjoy our 17 days-journey for business. At least the long mission journey was less stressful than expected due to the great guidance to the location of the projects as well us during support of translation! Thanks a million. We would always recommend Furahia and Emmanuel...

Amazing Safari
From the beginning of our research to find our agency for the safari, Deograsias was reactive for answering our questions in details and adapt the trip to our criterias and constraints. The safari in itself was perfect, mainly thanks to Dismass, our French-speaking guide, real expert of wild animals. Even though we asked a lot of questions about animals and Tanzania in general, he always had an answer to provide. We really enjoyed spending those 3 days with him and for sure will call Deograsias to have Dismass as a guide if we have the chance to do another safari.

Awesome experience, can't wait to do more.
Deograsias was always attentive in the planning stage, always responding quickly or updating our agenda when we made requests. His goal is to make his clients happy, this we learned. Our guide Dismas was a dream, we couldn't have had a better companion -- he is highly knowledgeable, responsible, and fun to be with, too. Our lodges and tented camps (Migration and Big Cats trip) were top notch (wifi, ensuite, good hot showers and bedding, often a swimming pool, etc.) , and we had great vegetarian food at each of them. If you go, and you should, be aware that there will be plenty of dust on the drives, so put some face masks in your suitcase, and be prepared for some bumpy roads!

Great Safari Experience with Furahia
Two of us did a 9-day safari with Furahia Safari. Our English speaking guide, Dismass was very knowledgeable with identifying the animals and birds but also their behaviors and symbiotic relationships. This really enhanced our experience. He was thoughtful and practiced in attending to needs throughout the trip.
Though our truck was a bit worn, we were very pleased with the accommodations, food, and most of all, the safari experience. Seriously consider Furahia if you are planning a Tanzanian safari.
On the practical side, we were in the Serengeti during dry season. If you are sensitive to dust, I recommend bringing some over-the-counter masks. Really helped minimize sinus problems.

Amazing Safari with professional guide
Me and my parents have had an amazing Safari with Furahia. I got in touch with Deo (the owner) through his boxing gym in Mto Wa Mbu, a village on the way to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Deo owns the boxing gym and this is part of a great charity organization aiming to raise awareness for the importance of sports and he does this in an amazing way.
Now for the safari. Our driver guide George was a very professional guide. He had excellent knowledge about nature and wildlife, and gave us an amazing Safari experience. He was also able to tell us a lot about local cultures like the Masai, the ethnic group to which he himself belong. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Arusha national park. Each one of these parks having its own unique features and all worth a visit. After this we spended three days in and around Moshi after which the safari was over.
I would greatly recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional, trustworthy Safari.

Eight days on an exiting private-safari with Emmanuel
Our guide and driver Emmanuel Mushi has proved to be an excellent guide with exceptional knowledges of the highlights in the northern part of Tansania. Emmanuel did not only lead us safely on the tour, but also we enjoyed his competent information about nature, animals and also the history of this country. What we have seen exceeded by far our expectation.
We therefore recommend strongly our guide Emmanuel for this kind of vacation in Tansania.
