Really Great experience.
It was a great trip. Leonard was an excellent guide / driver, and I would whole-heartedly endorse him to other Tanzania Exclusive Journeys's clients. His knowledge of animals was encyclopedic, and he and our son vied to see who could spot the most birds, although Leonard was the only one who knew what he was seeing… His sharp eyes ensured that we saw cheetahs, leopards, a lion in a tree, and other relatively rare spotting!

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Experience
Hiking Kilimanjaro with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys was an unforgettable experience living up to the highest standards of safety, comfort, service and fun! Special shout out to Amos who proved to be an exceptional chief guide with his experience in managing the group, the mountain and the team of 70 staff (!) that accompanied us on the trip. Would highly recommend to everyone looking to undertake this most special trip up to the roof of Africa!

The Best of Serengeti National Park
"...It was surprising how many different tour companies there were operating in the area and we were both so pleased we were with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys, as the others appeared crowded, and some had obnoxious radios, which they used to call in their colleagues if they spotted anything. I would have been very unhappy if we were so equipped. When it was just us, it was wonderfully quiet and we could enjoy not only the sights but some sounds as well. I was very interested in the birds and so the less crowded and individualized Land Cruiser was great..." Special thanks to our driver guide Martin for taking a great care of us!

A Dream Come True!
We had amazing time on big 5 safari trip, beyond our expectations. The most memorable time!! We enjoyed it the trip and we will be highly recommend to family and friends at home. Accommodations, food and services were excellent. My husband birthday was during the trip and in Serengeti camp we were we stayed- staff organized cake and all were singing and dancing for him. How often you get something as as nice surprise like that? Great stuff!! But Big thanks to the best driver ever Marc who showed us beauty of this country, his knowledge about animals life was speechless, we had a pleasure to see each of spectacular species, we learned a lot and appreciated the beauty of wildlife of Tanzania. We felt safe with him, we are grateful for his hospitality. I wish every safari driver was as dedicated as Marc. We will always highly recommend him as best Safari driver in Tanzania!!

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.

Wonderful Tanzania Southern Parks!
"We have been planning this trip for three years, and one of things we wanted to experience was the wild, remote and old part of Africa. That is the main reason we chose to go to the Selous Game Reserve, Ruaha National Park and these camps. We accomplished our goal.
There is so much more to see and experience here than just the mammals. The BaoBab and Tooth Brush trees... the Agama lizards, Puff Adder, Black Spitting Cobra and African Butterflies all prove that. I added 127 new bird species to my life list which I am quite proud of.
This was a trip during the Covid-19 age and yes, we had to put forth a little extra effort to get the PCR testing done in order to get to Tanzania and then back home, but we felt it was worth it. My wife and I for the most part felt like we were the only guests there. Some nights, we were the only guests in the camp. Most of the time we were the only car there watching lions. Very few other visitors were there while we were and it was nice and intimate. I'm sure the camps would like to have more visitors though.
All in all, thank you Tanzania Exclusive Journeys! It was a great trip and we can't wait to do it again!
