A Reliable & Dedicated Safari Tour Operator
We booked the "6 Day Real Tanzania Experience" with Claws of Africa.
We wanted a private tour that would allow both of us to see all of the major Northern parks (Tarangiri, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro), at an affordable rate. Claws of Africa ticked all the boxes, and in the end, really surpassed our expectations.
Fatuma (who helped organise our tour) was professional, courtious, and answered all of our questions in detail - when some other providers we contacted were a bit pushy.
The tour itself was unforgetable. Meckey (our guide) was extremely knowledgable (not just about the animals, but also about when and where to find them). We saw absolutely everything we had hoped to - including the big five. There's a degree of luck involved in what you manage to see on Safari, but with Meckey on hand, we seemed to get pretty lucky.
Shoutout as well to Pasqual (our cook - or should I say chef), who provided fantastic meals throughout.
Both Meckey and Pasqual really went above and beyond.
Booking a Safari can be a bit tricky when you're comparing so many options, and have to take a bit of a leap of faith regarding who to go with. I hope that this review can help someone else to take a chance on Claws of Africa as the experience was everything we wanted in a Safari.

Claws of Africa's expertise to make my Tanzania adventure memorable was very much appreciated!
Originally, I was supposed to travel to Tanzania in July 2020, but because of it being postponed due to Covid (it was postponed again in 2021), it finally took place in July 2022. I booked as a solo traveler going to Tarangire and the Serengeti on a budget. Right from the inception, Claws of Africa was receptive in honoring my budgetary needs and fully answered each question I asked. My safari guide Emmanuel was terrific and his invaluable knowledge and insight was truly appreciated. The wildlife sightings were amazing and never disappointed. For example, on an early morning drive we witnessed a male lion "kicking" his son out of the pride. The behavior was absolutely full of wonder. I truly thank Claws of Africa in making my Tanzania safari truly magical.

Wonderful safari
We are a family with a 7-year-old boy and we have done a 7-day private safari, passing through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi, where we went to meet the Hadzabe tribe for a few hours. The whole trip, from the pick up at the airport to the return to it, has been spectacular. Our guide Fahdili and the cook Pasco have made this trip an unforgettable experience.
We have seen many animals of all kinds, such as lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, crocodiles, servals, leopards, hyenas, vultures, ...
We totally recommend hiring Claws of Africa, since both the organization of the trip and the human treatment have enchanted us. We hope to be able to repeat the experience in the not too distant future.

Magic moment, safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Our safari with Claws of Africa has been a magical moment. In four days, we have gone to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with Fadhili, guide and driver, and Magoma, the cook in an excellent Safari, very well organized. They lovingly and efficiently complied with everything offered in the contract: Transportation in a 4x4 in very good condition, comfortable and clean accommodation in the different camps. Tours every day, with expert and kind comments and explanations from our beloved guide. The attention for each meal was great, with good flavor and diversity of dishes, including vegetarian food. We are very happy, grateful and warmly recommend Claws of Africa agency.

Quick and sure
Unforgettable experience thanks to Claws of Africa. "Speedy Fatuma" has always been very flexible and responsive, especially when changing dates and the number of participants.
The driver-guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The lodges were simply sublime.
Big Five!

Great!
I did two tours, the northern portion (follow the migration) and the southern portion (marvels of the south). Both tours went perfectly and I have zero complaints about either. The accommodations were good as were the daily game drives and the food. Both of my guides were absolutely amazing (Fadhili in the north and Emmanuel in the south (I know I butchered the spelling of the second)). They were both extremely easy to get along with, and also extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all the questions I had. The only recommendation I would make would be including driving times in the itinerary, particularly for the south portion. When booking, I wasn’t aware the drive from Dar es Salaam to Ruaha would be 12 hours. If I knew that, I probably would’ve chose to fly there instead of driving.

They are professional and friendly
I went to kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Ngrongro and Zanzibar with them. They provide a very informed, polite, friendly, fun and acceptably english speaking guide for each one of them. I communicated with them through whatsapp and payed nothing till i reached there and they were up to their word and meted everything they promised.

Unbelieveable Experience.
Just back from the trip of "Claws of Africa" in Tanzania and want to thank Good Earth for making the adventure so wonderful. Coordinated the itinerary with the kind and very gracious assistance by the people of "Claws of Africa" who helped ensure that everything went smoothly, that the lodgings were comfortable, that the food would meet the needs of the vegetarians in our small group, and that we had the services of the very best guide in Tanzania, We saw so many animals in the four national parks we visited, including 19 lions in one day (not that we were counting); beyond our dreams!
