Great outfit. Very pleased.
The Kilimanjaro climb was excellent. The guides and service were far beyond my expectations. Who would have thought we'd need so much support? I certainly didn't.
On Safari the guide was also first class. No complaints. Everything was safe and taken care of. No details overlooked.
Would recommend this group to everyone.

incredible
this was probably the best trip of my life! we booked the 3 day safari, and we though that it would be a group safari, and it turned out to be PRIVATE !!! it was luxury, the tenant we stayed in was magical, 5 star ! it had hot water, amazing food, and coney bed! we had the best driver on earth! he has been with the company 20 years! and he knew exactly where to go to see action! we saw more in 3 days than people saw in 7 days!
most amazing trip, and it is important to take a good company, so they know where to drive and where to take you ! so you see the best of the best! def 5 star experience !!

They were very organized, with good staff, and they deliver!
Our bucket list included the Serengeti Safari, Ngorongoto Crater Safari, Kilimanjaro Summiting, and Zanzibar Island relaxation. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. I was amazed at the amount of support people per government regulations (12:2). Acclimatization was good as we didn't get sick over the course of 6 days (4 up, 2 down). The sunrise was glorious and the peak ice chunks were stupendous. The whole trip went without a hitch and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Absolutely the trip of a lifetime, thanks to Iris & Jordan
I was initially a bit nervous about organising a safari in Tanzania from the UK, but after reading other reviews here, and getting proposals from several companies, we decided to go with Tanzania Serengeti Adventure.
Iris & Jordan were thoroughly professional throughout, and made the whole thing really easy for us. They were very quick to respond, happy to work within our relatively modest (for Tanzania !) budget, and put together a five day programme especially for us, which worked out beautifully.
The accommodation they selected was much more luxurious than we expected and I could go on for hours about the all the wildlife and wonderful sights we saw.
Our guide, James, has worked for TSA for many years and was simply excellent. On the road, he's a reassuringly safe and considerate driver. He has a perfect mental map of the game reserves, and what we might see where. His knowledge of the animals, birds and trees is encyclopaedic. And he's a nice bloke too.
Even after the safari was over. Iris and Jordan found us a wonderful place to stay for a couple of days before coming home, and saved us some money by booking it for us at their discounted rate.
All in all, it was just perfect, a truly unforgettable experience. If we had the chance to do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm very happy to recommend TSA to anyone.

Big Five
Our customised safari was great and truly exceeded my expectations.
Philemon, our driver guide, made all efforts to find and see the animals and interesting spots.

Excellent experience
I had an amazing safari with my family. I am very happy about the arrangements and the gamedrives fulfilled more than my expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was more than willing to find the Big five for us.
We stayed at five different lodges, one of the best was at a coffe farm. It is absolutely worth a visit.
A big Thank you to Iris and Philamon för making our safari one of our best experiences.

Trip of a Lifetime, a must!
The Tanzania Serengeti company was recommended to us from another couple that traveled with them a few years back. We are so glad we went with Iris and Jordan. First of all, they are extremely accommodating and are willing to make sure that you have the best trip possible. My Fiancé and I were briefed about our Safari after our first night in Arusha from "Blaze" our local correspondent while in Tanzania. He checked in with us throughout our trip. We were then off on Safari and visited 3 parks. Arusha, Tarangire, (my favorite), Ngorongoro Crater and the famous Serengeti. We did an 8 night safari with 2 nights in Arusha, 2 in Tarangire, and 4 in the Northern and Central Serengeti. Our safari guide Phileman was with us the entire time and he knew exactly when and where to stop so we could view the Big 5! Ask for Phileman!! The tent camps are very comfortable and the food was excellent. The country is extremely high spirited and we left feeling rather humbled being so fortunate to live in the states.
You must see Zanzibar and stay at the Matemwe Lodge for at least 3 nights following safari. This is truly a relaxing treat at the end of a dusty adventure. Do not be alarmed when your driving for hrs on a bumpy road that looks like its leading to nowhere; beyond every dusty road is something worth waiting to see. Most lodges do not pave their roads so don't judge a lodge by the road leading towards it. Also, go with any recommendations from Iris or Jordan, they have great ideas.
Have patience, be open minded, and you'll truly enjoy what Tanzania, Africa has to offer. This country will change your life.

My awesome time with Tanzania Serengeti Adventures.
Our trip was absolutely delightful. My daughter and I enjoyed the safari very much. We have traveled the world and this was one of the best vacations ever. We took the 5 day and 4 night adventure in Tanzania, the timing was perfect and fit well with our other travel plans. We saw the Big Five, met wonderful people along the way and always felt safe and secure with our guide. He was an expert at finding animals and very knowledgable about the land and it's people.

Absolutely Wonderful!!
This was my first trip to Tanzania and definitely won't be my last. The experience was one in a lifetime and everyone I encountered made that experience more pleasurable. The drivers James, Philemon and Bryce were the best ever. It was never a dull moment with them and they made every experience more enjoyable. The stay at the coffee farm with Blaise De Souza was amazing. The staff made me feel just like I was at home. The views and tours were breathtaking and the food was delicious. Everyone should definitely make this apart of their experience when traveling to Tanzania!

One trip everyone should go on at least once in their lifetime!
When I first landed at the KJRO airport, it didn't quite seem like I was in Africa yet. Soon after, our drivers were explaining all the interesting and unique parts of Africa. Not only were our drivers informative about the land and animals of Africa, but they also shared the culture and part of the Swahili language. My favorite part about the trip was that our drivers were always on point with spotting things out. More than a few times were our drivers able to catch lions and cheetahs out of no where. Another great part about the trip was I felt that the drivers always had us in their best interest so I always felt safe. For most of my trip, I had Philemon as a driver and I really felt that he made the trip for us because there was never a dull moment with him. Overall, the trip exceeded my expectations which made it very tough to leave. When we left, we were not just saying goodbye to our drivers, but we were saying goodbye to our new friends.
