Professional, reliable and motivated
We have booked a 2-Day safari to Tarangire & Ngororo. It was amazing and organized everything from A to Z according to our preferences.
We saw a lot of animals and big “4”, missed only leopard.
We can recommend Professional Safaris and Guide Deo to everyone.

Organisation excellent
Thanks to Jesca at Professional Safari Bookings, he handled our booking from start to finish flawlessly. I would highly recommend him to create an itinerary for you, or put together one of your choosing. Even down to advising on my visa which hadn’t come thru in time, he was ready and willing to help outside of the scope of our safari trip.

Fantastic - Experience of a lifetime
Experience of a lifetime! Big shout out to our guide, Aloyce, for making this an exceptionel journey! It won’t be the last time 🙏🏻.
Our safari in Tanzania has been one of those trips that will stay with us forever. From the early morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha and straight into Tarangire National Park, everything just felt right from the very beginning.
We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalos, wildebeest, antelopes, flamingos, a leopard, a serval, and even the rare black rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater. That day in the crater was simply unreal, everywhere you looked, there was something happening.
Lake Manyara was completely different from the other parks with its almost jungle-like landscape, dense greenery and amazing birdlife. Even without lions, it was an absolutely beautiful and special experience.
Our guide, Aloyce, truly made this trip something extra special. His knowledge, patience and passion for nature and wildlife were outstanding. As someone who loves photography, I felt so taken care of – he could literally hear when my camera was focusing or clicking and would stop immediately, even when I told him it was okay to drive on. That kind of attention and care is rare, and it meant everything to us 📸.
The lodges were stunning, from soaking in a bathtub after a long safari day, to watching the sunset from an infinity pool, to having our own private pool and a perfect, quiet evening surrounded by nature.

Highly satisfied with the tour and would wholeheartedly recommend this company!
We contacted the Professional Safari Africa team and requested a quotation based on our needs. Medison was very helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process.
We departed from Nairobi and took a shuttle bus to Arusha, where our tour guide, Deo, picked us up. He was kind, attentive, and even reached out to us a week before our trip to ensure everything was in order.
Our itinerary was a 3-day safari covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. We were able to see a wide variety of animals and birds. Deo shared many interesting facts, not only about the wildlife but also about Maasai culture. He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
Overall, we were highly satisfied with the tour and would wholeheartedly recommend this company!

Excellent service all round
We chose Professional Safaris from the various quotes received as they provided options which exactly fit the specifications set out. Jesca was extremely helpful and responsive even when we asked a lot of questions, and the communication before the safari was excellent.
Jonah was our guide and driver for the 3 day safari covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire - he was very knowledgeable, easygoing and good company. He was determined to find as many of the lesser spotted animals for us as possible and we were lucky to see pretty much everything!
We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend Professional Safaris - excellent service from start to finish.

Medi is a knowledgeable guide with incredible customer service
I first had a Safari with Medi 4 years ago and I never considered anyone else. He made the whole experience seamless from booking it, picking us up, and dropping us off, he was very accommodating to our changing dates.
Medi is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and provides a safari experience of a lifetime.
I highly recommend him for anyone looking for the greatest experience.

Kudos and THANK YOU to the Professional Safaris Team
Review for Faraji – Safari Guide Extraordinaire from Professional Safari Africa
It’s hard to put this experience into words, but one thing is absolutely clear: Faraji was the cornerstone of our entire safari. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment went far beyond what we expected, and he is truly an asset any company would be fortunate to have full-time.
From the moment we met him, Faraji demonstrated exceptional diligence and an unwavering determination to make our safari meaningful. He listened carefully to what mattered most to us—especially my friend’s wish to see lions—and he worked tirelessly until he delivered. Thanks to his persistence and deep knowledge of animal behavior, we witnessed one of the most extraordinary moments of my life: a lioness bravely protecting her cubs from a herd of buffalo. It was unforgettable, and it would not have happened without Faraji’s skill and intuition.
What truly sets him apart is the combination of expertise and spirit he brings to his work. Faraji is incredibly well-educated about the wildlife, ecological dynamics, and historical context of the region. He understands not only where animals can be found, but why—and he shares that insight with enthusiasm and clarity. His passion for guiding is undeniable, and his positive energy made every moment more enjoyable.
As someone who has been on multiple safaris—and who works professionally as a travel agent and project manager—I can confidently say that this was the best guided experience I have ever had. I have high expectations and an eye for detail, and Faraji exceeded every one of them. He is an extraordinarily safe driver, an excellent communicator, and someone who clearly puts his guests’ experience first.
For my 50th birthday, Faraji went above and beyond in a way I will never forget. His knowledge, customer service, safety standards, and genuine good energy are unmatched. I would strongly encourage anyone booking a safari to request him by name—he is truly one of the finest guides I have ever encountered.
Thank you, Faraji, for giving us an experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. You are exceptional at what you do, and any company would be incredibly fortunate to have you on their team.
Extra special thanks to Jesca, who handled all logistics leading up to our trip. She was consistently responsive, patient, and attentive to my many detailed requests, making the planning process seamless.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania you will love the Professional Safari Africa team! From start to finish....... THEY WERE AMAZING!

Great flexible company, with a very good driver/guide
During the election situation in Tanzania our flight from the Netherlands was canceled and we needed to reschedule our safari trip.
Professional Safaris Africa was very helpfull and flexible to reschedule everything.
We had a very nice 3 day safari with Deo, our driver/guide. He was a good spotter and could also explain a lot about the animals in the safari parks. We slept at Kankari Lodge in Karuka. Fine accommodation although we did not enjoy their diner or lunch boxes much. This did not take away our enjoyment of the safari. We were lucky to see lots a male lions and elephants and other wildlife in the National Parks. Be prepared for long days in the car.

Perfect safari experience with guide Deo! We saw the Big Five and many more animals
Our safari was absolutely perfect! We saw so many animals, including the Big Five, and our guide Deo was outstanding. He knew exactly where to go, shared fascinating details about all the animals, and was very flexible in following our wishes — like arranging breakfast and lunch boxes so we could spend more time out in the wild. Truly an unforgettable experience that we can highly recommend!
