Unforgettable experience and impressions
5/5

With 3 years late due to Corona, we were finally able to experience our safari at Enchanting. Pushing the trip was not a problem at all, so that we were finally able to fulfill our dream of a safari at the end of September.
With James, our guide and Gabriel, we did an unforgettable 6 -day safari to his intern. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Krater, Lake Manyara, a coffee plantation, Gibbs Farm and Arusha
Everything was well organized and exceeded our expectations. James took us to the most beautiful places with wonderful nature and always knew where the animals were found. We experienced elephants, zebras, gnus, giraffes, lions, impalas, antelopes, water buffalo, hippos, monkeys, monkeys, all types of birds, flamingos, a leopard sleeping on the tree and a sparkling with its prey. It was an insane experience for us to experience this so close.
James is an exceptionally personable and great guide. He is very knowing and was able to answer all of our questions. He succeeded in inspiring us from this wonderful spot.
The lodges selected by James were very nice and we were welcomed everywhere by very nice people and we were very comfortable everywhere.
A highlight was definitely the overnight stay in the Serengeti in the Bush Camp, where we were allowed to spend a night in the tent up close with the animals, very exciting and certainly unforgettable for us.
James is not only an excellent guide but also a very good driver and we felt very safe at all times. The mood in the jeep was always good and funny and relaxed, because James is a humorous person who speaks perfectly German. James and Gabriel tried very hard and we were perfectly looked after with everything every day.
Our subsequent stay in Zanzibar was also organized through Enchanting. Everything was perfect, as on the safari, and we enjoyed a wonderful week in Zanzibar.
You can't put in words what we have experienced with enchanting, you just have to experience it. This journey will always be remembered and we say again ..... Asante Sana, dear James and dear Gabriel ..... you are just the best

The best tour operator you can imagine - super organised, always friendly, knows the ropes
5/5

Our tour guide James was great. We were travelling as a family with our two sons (14 and 17 years old). James drove and guided us through Tanzania for 9 days - to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro Crater and Grumeti Reserve and….

We saw and experienced so much: large herds of elephants, families of giraffes, antelopes, eagles, flocks of flamingos, lions in action, hippos, crocodiles on the Grumeti River, buffaloes, impalas, the small antelope dikdik and vultures fighting over the remains of the lions' prey. In the evening zebras walked in front of the tent and at night we heard the hyenas (we could even see them on the night drive). And this was followed by impressive sunrises. We followed the wildebeest and zebra herds on their great migration. We never expected the animals to pass so close to our car. And James even spotted the hard-to-find animals for us: cheetahs, one of the 20 rhinos in the Ngoro Ngoro Crater and a snoozing leopard on one of the rocks in the Serengeti. What a great experience! We also learned a lot about the spectacular, beautiful and diverse nature of Tanzania, visited the indigenous people - the Hadzabes, who showed our boys how they hunt.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the crater highlands in northern Tanzania thrilled us. So did the Olduvai Gorge and the vast plains of savannah in the Serengeti and the verdant Tarangire Park. The camps and resorts were very, very nice and the people working there so friendly and warm.

We had thousands of questions about animals, landscape and Tanzania - James was always patient and answered all our questions. We had a wonderful time together because he had a great sense of humour and is also wonderful with young people. Our sons are completely thrilled with him!

Having such a smart guide with us who has a great sense of humour and speaks excellent German and English was great. It was the best holiday of our lives, it was an unforgettable tour for all of us and an incomparable family holiday. and James the best guide ever.

Thank you so so much! Asante sana. Kwa kila kitu!

Truly enchanting
5/5

We went on a camping safari to serengeti, ngorogoro and tarangire and were really happy with enchanting safari: the communication with the office as well as the overall organization were simply perfect even though we approached them on short notice.
We also had a very experienced and nice guide, who took care of us in every respect. Enchanting provided luxury tents, sleeping bags and mattrasses and the guide even got us torches when we arrived poorly equipped for the nights at the campsite. Altogether it was simply great!

Exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable and now life long friends.A life
5/5

A life changing experience. James, Dominic and Oscar have such pride in their country and their love of what they do is obvious. We made memories and friends for a lifetime and I am looking forward to returning. The animals of Tanzania were beautiful, but the people moreso.

Lack of separation of business and private
2/5

While I cannot complain about the organization of the safari in terms of equipment and game drives what spilled the experience for me after was the unprofessional behavior of the company owner. The lack of separation of business and private matters ruined the experience completely and prompted me to give the bad rating.

If safari in Tanzania only with Enchanting Tanzania Safaris
5/5

We made a ten days safari with James Foya of Enchanting Tanzania Safari in three different national parks. It was one of the best trips we ever have had. James is an excellent, perfect german speeking guide. He was never late and always very friendly . He knows the best places and has an excellent feeling what will happen next few minutes. You can ask him what you want about the animals and the national parks: He knows it!
We don't think that you can have a better guide and a better organized safari in Tanzania.

Perfect 6-day Safari
5/5

I booked the safari for myself and my parents because I wanted to show them my "second home". We did a six-day tour of the northern parks and even I could see Tanzania with completely new eyes! It was not my first safari but by far the best.
The accommodations were great especially for my comfort loving parents.

Our guide James was great, he knew a lot about the national parks and the animals. He speaks perfect german, which was good especially for my parents and he could help me to improve my Swahili ;)

I would book a safari with James anytime again!
