That can be described in a few words: fantastic, great and unforgettable
It was a great trip, super beautiful experience. Our incredibly good and sweet and knowledgeable guide, Fadhil, has also made this trip great. We enjoyed it and will never forget this trip. Great!

A Seamless, Unforgettable Safari with an experienced and professional guide
We travelled with Tanzania Specialist as a family of four – including my partner’s 90-year-old grandmother – and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The company was professional and responsive, and helped us with everything from e-visas to itinerary planning.
Our guide, Nasibu, was fantastic. He was clearly passionate about the land, the animals and the culture, and had a wealth of knowledge he shared along the way. He also had a great eye for wildlife – often spotting animals before anyone else – and was a very capable driver, handling tough roads and water crossings with ease.
What really stood out was his thoughtfulness. He went out of his way to make sure we were all comfortable, especially given we had a much older traveler with us. From helping her in and out of the vehicle, to adjusting the pace of the day, nothing was too much trouble.
Across our trip we saw elephants, lions, cheetahs, a leopard, giraffes, flamingos, hippos, and the wildebeest migration. We also saw the Big Five – including a black rhino on our last day at Ngorongoro Crater. The wildlife was remarkable, and we never felt rushed.
The lodges chosen by Tanzania Specialist were all high quality, with friendly staff, comfortable rooms and good food. Manyara’s Secret, Manyara Best View Lodge and our tented camp in the Serengeti were particular highlights. The packed lunches were also generous and always served in great spots – often with animals nearby.
There were some unexpected moments too – from a monkey stealing toast at breakfast, to dancing with the Masai, to spotting animal tracks near our tent in the mornings. All part of what made the trip so memorable.
Thank you to Tanzania Specialist, and especially to Nasibu, for delivering a smooth, enjoyable and very special safari.

Perfect planned journey
We had an excellent trip to Tanzania. Beginning with the planning of our Journey, our Consultant Angelina did an amazing Job an d fullfilled all our wishes. In Tanzania we had the pleasure with the Guide Arifu. A young Guide but with a lot of experience. We were lucky to see all of the big 5, because he knew some perfect hidden spots. He was also extremly helpful and accommodating in every Situation. Thank you for this amazing experience.

Perfect organization from start to end
Thanks to Tanzania specialist we could spend two wonderfull weeks at Tanzania and Zanzibar. Starting with a Safari though , Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we had a lot of spectacular animal observations, allways guided and cared for by our excellent guide Nelson. If I should highlight something, i would take the two nights in the tented camp in the Serengeti, wherever all selected acommodations surpassed our expectations.
Nevertheless, if we would do this trip again, we would try to extend the stay in the tented camp and then take a direct flight from Serengeti over to Zanzibar.
The second week , we spent on Zanzibar island in the Karafuu beach Resort , enjoying especially the paradisiacal beach , friendly staff and excellent kitchen.
Only the All inclusive rate had some exceptions , what we didn't know from other hotels in Europe or Turkey but this could not spoil our overall good experience.

Fantastic trip
We had an unforgettable vacation with Tanzania Specialist. Communication beforehand was very easy and quick. The trip was very well organized, and our guide, Carlos, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot from him about the people, landscapes, and animals of Tanzania. The lodges were also excellently selected, so overall we had a wonderful vacation.
