Do not trust this company!
Do not trust this company with your money. I paid them my deposit in early March. A week later, their website and cell phone number were terminated due to lack of payment. When I finally
heard from them again, I asked that my deposit be refunded. At the end of March, they agreed and stated that a wire had been sent, but that never happened. There have been several emails sent to me with stories as to why I have not yet been refunded. To date, I have not received my money back.

Posted on Aug 7, 2020Thank you for your review, it is our constant at Tanzania Exclusive Journeys to provide an excellent experience and services to each and every one of our valued guests. Hence it deeply saddened us, when we read that from you that we have not achieved our goal. You had canceled the tour at the last minute and threaten us to post a negative review against us, we had sent you our cancellation policy before you booked the tour, but still you have been demanding a full refund and force us to refund you so you can pull out the negative review. While we realized we cannot undo your experience; I do hope that you will in due course provide us with another opportunity and restore your confidence in our continued quality of services to our esteemed guests!.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Climb Experience
The guide and assistant guides were all excellent. Highly skilled and each capable of being a lead guide. All were fun, professional and knowledgable. They made the climb enjoyable and safe. I would highly recommend to others and will take my son when he reaches 16 years old.
The safari was fantastic. The tents on the serengetti were excellent and a great experience. Ian is a legendary driver and placed us in the best positions for viewing the wildlife. He made the safari 100% better.
Thanks for the excellent trip. My husband and I had the best time on mountain and safari. We surely recommend Tanzania Exclusive Journeys

Amazing
Words cannot describe the level of service provided by Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. I just returned from my trip to Kenya&Tanzania, and it was truly a trip of a lifetime.
Every single detail was executed with perfection. The pre-trip documentation was superb, the guides/drivers in each location were so knowledgable and professional, and our accommodations as well as the service provided at the accommodations was beyond First Class. Most of all, our guide was remarkable! Ian and Kisamo was with us from start to finish, and she made our whole journey even more perfect than we could have ever imagined. They were so attentive, professional, knowledgeable, sweet, caring, thoughtful, patient, accommodating, smart, funny, and MORE!! Anyone traveling to Kenya&Tanzania should request that Ian and Kisamo be their guides. You will not regret it!
Thank you Tanzania Exclusive Journeys Team for an incredible vacation. It was utter perfection from the moment we booked the trip to the moment we arrived back home.

The journy was too awesome and we saw different types of animals,but Ngorongoro was too unique
That was the most stunning and wonderful trip we ever did. Susan from Tanzania Exclusive Journeys did an amazing job in planning our trip and shared a lot of good advice – it is always the details that matter. From our point of view, this trip was well planned and perfectly executed in every way. We felt a warm welcome in Arusha at the office and got easy and direct help with an airport luggage issue, so all got well.Especially to our guide&driver Sam, we owe a lot of thanks. He was the perfect guide for us. He easily won our hearts and we had a lot of fun on the trip. There are so many special moments on this Safari thanks to him. He took really good care of us and told us nearly everything there is to know about that wonderful wildlife. Our guide was a real treasure, always calm, accommodating where help is needed, well respected in the community, fully professional and blessed with the right kind of humor.Trip details: We visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP und Ngorongoro Crater NP on our five day safari. I would always suggest to book a private tour, it is absolutely worth it. Take your time to research some accommodations to get the right feeling for what you want and listen to the advice of Jane. And if possible, do it a little longer than five days. By the way, Tanzania Exclusive Journeys guide does all the necessary paperwork there is in crossing national parks - smooth and easy. You can really enjoy every minute. The Landcruiser was well equipped, had lots of space, a power charger and a small fridge.We will come back!

So much more than we were expecting!
We did a family safari for 7 days in Tanzania. The safari was incredible and the staff was amazing. Our head guide Martin was a great storyteller and every guide was so knowledgeable about the fauna and flora. The camps were so luxurious! Our every need was taken care of before we thought of it! Food was amazing! Excellent soup every night and lots of vegetables! Don't know how they created such fine food with a camp kitchen!
Loved the day tours and we saw so much more than we could have imagined! Enjoyed the bird checklist and our guide Martin had an eagle eye for seeing every bird!
Would highly recommend Tanzania Exclusive Journeys!

A Life Changing Experience!
I just returned from the trip of a lifetime! My cousin and I did a safari with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys at the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. The only complaint I have, is we should have made our trip longer! I'm a frequent international traveler and have been all around the world and this is by far the best trip I have ever been on. The Tanzania Exclusive Journeys team was great to work with from planning in the beginning all the way through arriving back home after the trip. Tony helped us plan and prepare for our trip answering all of our questions and assisting with everything. We had Jane with us in Arusha and she even helped retrieve items left at our hotel. Marc and Ian were our guide and driver and we had the best time with them. We definitely left Africa with new, life long friends. We are already planning our return trip (which we really started planning our second day because we knew we couldn't get enough) which can't come fast enough. I still can't stop smiling thinking about our trip and giggling about our jokes we shared with Marc and Ian. I haven't laughed so much in so long! There aren't enough words to describe how spectacular this trip was. Everything was planned so well and executed flawlessly. We saw so many rare sites and had prime viewing spots and it was all because of the expertise from Marc and Ian. We could definitely tell the difference in caliber of Tanzania Exclusive Journeys versus other safari companies while we were watching the animals and there's a reason Tanzania Exclusive Journeys is the best! Don't tell the animals, but the people were the best part of the trip! (But the animals are a very close second!) I'm back home now and find myself scanning for animals in the grasses and trees. And dreaming about our next trip back!

Bucket list item checked off!
My adventure was awesome and it is something I’ll alway remember fondly. Our great driver guide Ian brought us as close as possible to the amazing wildlife and made our trip extremely rememberable. We were able to see amazing animals and saw everything we wanted up close except for the rhino but Ian easily made up for it by bringing us to the most thrilling and exciting moment of my life a real life kill by a cheetah. The people at Tanzania Exclusive Journeys were able to help us change our plans on the fly especially when the migration hadn’t reached the northern part of the Serengeti so they easily changed our plans so we could experience the most of our adventure. I would recommend going with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys on any Tanzanian adventure and if you have a chance Ian is the best driver guide for you.

Truly fantastic tour company!
My 70-year old father and I recently returned from the trip of a lifetime, summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro together with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys! They were an absolutely fantastic company, and every detail of our trip was well organized, from the two-day safari we did with their guide Mrope to the 8-day Lemosho route trek with head guide Zakayo. All the staff, from the guides, cook, porters and others were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient and organized. Everyone worked so hard and as a team to make our trip run smoothly. The meals were fantastic, the tent sites were carefully selected, and the guides were very good at keeping our group on just the right pace to acclimate to the altitude. I highly recommend Tanzania Exclusive Journeys to anyone!

Excellent and understanding customer service & knowledgeable/experienced tour guide!
My father and I went to Tanzania for a 12 days safari with Tanzania Exclusive Journyeys. We were welcomed at the airport by Marc, who was going to be our guide and driver for the safari. First, we went to Lake Manyara, then to Nduto, followed by Central Serengeti, and ended the safari in Ngorongoro Crater. What a wonderful time!! We saw lots and lots of lions, several cheetahs (2 with small cubs), 2 leopards (both very close) and a black rhino. We even saw a cheetah take a gazelle and saw a 1-minute old wildebeest, still trying to be on its feet. Of course, we saw so many other animals, and thousands of wildebeest and zebras. The 12-days were perfectly managed, especially by our guide Marc and his colleague Steve (who arranged everything from the office). Marcfound a lot of animals, knows them all the by name and gives a lot of extra info. He drives very safely, he teaches you Swahili during the drive e.g. ‘poa kichizi kama ndizi kwenye friji;)’ and he has a good sense of humor. He was soon part of the family and we laughed a lot. He really made our vacation! When we come back, we will definitely ask Tanzania Exclusive Journeys and Marc as our guide again. Asante sana!

Exceed my expectations
My husband and I did a 8 day Private Safari in Serengeti and Nogorogoro with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. The company is owned by a local Masai who has excellent connections with the areas we wanted to visit. Jane, the tour director, listened to what we hoped to experience and then designed a wonderful package for us. Our guide, Peter, made our 8 days very enjoyable. He worked hard to make sure we saw the wildlife we hoped to see. He is very knowledgeable about the area and has incredible skill at spotting animals we never would have even noticed. We had many questions about the areas we travelled through and the things we saw. Peter answered all of them and we learned so much. We spent 3 nights at the Osupuko Tented Camp in the Serengeti which was fantastic. The camp has minimal impact on the environment while still being very comfortable. The last 4 nights we stayed at Nogorogoro Farm House and the comforts were much appreciated after the long dusty drive from the Serengeti. One more thing about Peter. He is an avid birder so if your passion is birdwatching then ask for Peter.
