Best Vacation Ever
We planned our safari over a two week period just before Christmas (2018) to after the New year (2019). It was the most amazing vacation ever. First and foremost, our driver James was amazing. Besides my wife and myself, we traveled with our 30 year daughter and her husband. Within the first hour of landing on the Serengeti in Tanzania, we saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, leopards, giraffe, hippos and zebras.
Each day our safari yield the same results. From the Serengeti we moved towards the Ngorongoro Crater. We drove straight through the migration . Hundreds of Thousands of Wildebeests and Zebra. Ngorogoro Crater was amazing with lots of animals including Rhinos. (Go early in the day). Finished the trip with Tarangire (The Elephant Park) an Amboseli in Kenya. The Cultural side trips were unforgettable. Be sure to visit the Masai Village and Bush Tribe (The Hazabie Tribe) who shared there language, music and dance. We felt as if we were in a National Geographic special. The Hazabies even took us on a hunting trip. Amazing! All of our accommodations were first class. Mostly tent camps that were very comfortable with 2 Queens or one King and bathroom facilities in the back of the tent. The tents were very clean and the food was outstanding. The breakfasts were filling and had lots of choices. The African coffees were amazing. The box lunches were great and filling. Each dinner was an event. Music and singing accompanied by a tasty meal. TSA's staff was very professional and willing to make our trip unforgettable which it was.
We give Tanzania Serengeti Adventures our strongest recommendation for the best vacation we have ever been on.

Trustworthy company
We five peoples had an amazing 12 days safari in February 2018, the first thing we did right is to choice TSA as our safari’s operator.
Jordan and Iris run the company TSA very well, they always replied me very immediately by Email, and kept in touch with us by Skype from the moment of first contact to the end of trip. They suggested us a wonderful itinerary and give us a very competitive price, we finished all things about the final contract within 7 days from the first contact, their professionalism, efficiency and honesty are very impressive.
The accommodation is perfect, everything goes as expected, nothing need to adjust. James, our driver/guide, is excellent. He taken care us very well whole trip, and is a expert in spotting wildlife, led us seeing more than thousands of flamingos, hundreds of elephants, dozens of lions, 17 cheetahs, 5 leopards and more else. He also is a knowledgeable and interesting person.
The first class planning and organization, the most competitive price, the best guide/driver service, nothing I can ask for more to a safari operator. I would highly recommend TAS to anyone who dreams a fantastic safari , the TAS is your guarantee!
Thanks again to Jordan, Iris, James and all stuffs of TAS! We miss everything we experienced in Tanzania, and will be back to visit you and your great country again.

Serengeti Park and Ngongoro Conservation area: an unforgettable adventure!
The whole trip was an incredible experience. Before leaving we were worried about all sort of things but once we arrived in Arusha, everything was taken care of and we had the opportunity to enjoy every single minute of our trip feeling safe.
Our guide and driver, Philemon, was terrific: extremely professional, knowledgeable, caring and fun. He always made sure that we saw as many animals as possible and never rushed us around. The climax of our safari was on our very first day in the Serengeti: we saw 5 cheetahs hunting and bringing down a (poor!) impala right in front of our eyes. On the last day, at the Ngorongoro Crater, we also saw two black rhinos, apparently very rare to spot.
We really thank Iris and Jordan for their attentive and professional services, Philemon for his determination to make our safari unforgettable and James for picking us up from Arusha Airport and giving us a brief introduction into Arusha on the drive to our hotel.

Excellent service and fantastic Safari - couldn't ask for better!
From the start TSA were very pro-active with communications. We always received an answer with a few hours. The original suggested itinerary was customised for the two of us and before we departed from home Iris set up a Skype call to go through all the arrangements. Connections and meeting up went flawlessly. Our Safari driver and guide - James - was excellent. The stop at the Maramboi tented camp was a highlight - thoroughly recommended. We got to see all the wildlife we wanted to with the exception of cheetahs (but seeing so many leopards made up for that) - even a Hyena on a kill. The Ngorongoro was spectacular and felt especially lucky to see the elusive Rhinos. I can thoroughly recommend TSA - Thank you Iris, Jordan and James.

An awesome trip -complete with fabulous food, befitting accommodations and fun, well-trained staff.
My experience end to end was nothing short of stellar. Upon commitment to go on the safari, the detailed communication from TSA on the daily itineraries, packing needs, medication requirements, language aids
and very prompt follow-up with questions and information I requested during my preparation.
Their over 25 years of experience is clearly evident.
Thank you Iris and Jordon D'souza for the memory I'll always have of the multitude and variety of animals I saw on the Serengeti.

Everything we had asked for and more - excellent.
This is a small, personal and thoroughly professional outfit that spent hours answering questions and tailoring our holiday to fulfill our dreams. We asked for and took advice on everything from where and when to go to what to pack. We saw it all and the handovers (we added Rwanda and its must see gorillas and a few days on Zanzibar) were clockwork perfect. Thoroughly expert guides, great, varied accommodation all contributed to a perfect holiday.
Dont think about it - do it!

amazing safari: many animals, beautiful parks, excellent guide
The communication was very clear before the trip. We had a Skype session with Iris to go over the details, and final arrangements for pick up, what to pack, accommodations, itinerary, etc. The trip went off exactly as planned. The van was very comfortable, and able to go through high water, mud, ruts, with no issues. The tent camps and small lodges were all great, with good food, showers, service, friendly staff. The best things, of course, were the places we visited (mostly in serengeti national park) and the guide, James. He was a source of much info about the natural history of the animals, the environment, and the history/current events of Tanzania. He's very gracious and put maximum effort into searching for animals, and patiently waiting for for photos or looking up details about specific bird species. The trip exceeded my expectations--hard to imagine before actually seeing this part of the world how prolific the life is, and how accessible to viewing. It was an unexpected and very meaningful aspect of the to have such a personable and communicative guide as James.

Marvellous 6 days Safari Experience!
Many thanks to Iris and Jordan of Tanzania Serengeti Adventure (TAS) and to their very experienced guide Philemon for the marvellous 6 days safari trip I did recently in April of 2016. I registered at the last minute through emails with TAS and got lucky to go as a solo traveler on their next safari trip that started less than a week afterwards. All went well from my arrival, transfers, the 6 days safari itself and the luxury accommodation offered in Serena Lodges and a night in a tents camp. I was greatly impressed by the vast experience and knowledge of our guide Philemon allowing us to see the big five and to locate the hard to find animals such as the cheetah and leopard. I greatly enjoyed the game ride in the plain areas with thousands of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles as well as finding the lions pride and to bring us just next to them for close up pictures. I will definitely do another safari trip with TAS on my next visit to Tanzania!

Well planned and excellent run and impressive to see all the wild animals
Iris planned the trip for us and made sure the logistics worked. Philimon was our tour good and his experience made sure that everything worked out during the trip. He also knew how to spot the animals.
A impressive experience to see all the animals Serengetti and with some nice people behind the tour.
