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.

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!
