Professional, very nice.
It was a pretty involved tour. Was amazing to see all the animals (Big 5).
The driver Zayree and the guide and cook Magoma were very nice.
Just a few issues with this tour. Accommodations were very or “below” average. Especially since I booked for a totally PRIVATE Safari for only TWO people. I’m sure they could’ve given Better Accommodations.
Also in the Serengeti we were in a lodge that seemed like the”Boonies”. So that one day all we saw was just prey animals. Nothing else. I repeatedly asked the driver to go to Central Serengeti, but he refused, saying it was 2 hours away. But we were just driving around in ONE Boring Area for around 8 hours. Could have easily taken the trip to Central Serengeti, I felt. To me that was a TOTAL Waste of our Precious time, since we were on a ONE week tour for Tanzania.
I even offered to pay extra for a Nicer Room in Arusha, but I was refused. Don’t Understand WHY??
Hopefully in future the company realizes these issues travelers may have and provide somewhat Better Service? Cause people travel from very Far distances and would like to make the Best of the time and days on hand.

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.

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.

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.

Honeymoon of a lifetime thanks to Claws!
My wife Ashley and I set off on the safari tour of a lifetime for our honeymoon. We were picked up at our first hotel in the morning and met our driver for the safari, James. He picked us up in a Toyota Land Cruiser, it was clean and he came packing a refrigerated cooler full of water for our use whenever we needed it. We set off for Lake Manyara and he stopped along the way to buy us some red bananas, out of his own money, for us to try. We got into the park pretty early and, just like a normal person would on day 1 of their first safari, we wanted to stop for every animal. Every animal we saw, James explained any information we had about it, we were amazed that he knew so much. He had a big packed lunch for us to eat at the special look off picnic area. We are not big bird people but he still had info about each as we sat and ate lunch. We set a goal at lunch to see some elephants, after lunch we drove to find them. He spotted tracks off the path and said “they are close”. He saw them through the bushes and we waited for a bit. They then started walking directly towards us and right beside the vehicle allowing for some amazing pictures and even better memories.
At Ngorongoro Crater, We left our lodge to see that the vehicle had been cleaned inside and out and fridge re-packed. On the way into the crater James explained about his life, family, education and his job. I honestly will remember this probably as much as I do the safari. We saw so many animals here and also saw one of our biggest highlights, a pride of lions taking turns feeding on a very recently killed buffalo. James explained how they would have taken it down and how they decide who eats first and when. We completed the big 5 in the Crater on this day to our delight.
We headed to the Serengeti for our first of 2 days. We wish we could have spent 2 weeks here but honestly, James showed us all we needed to see in 2 days. We had very good positioning for cheetahs, leopards, hippos, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, male and female lions. We also had many great views of the Great Migration. Many times James would suggest areas to visit but he kept saying “its your safari, we will stop whenever you want”. Each morning we had a clean vehicle to get into as it was very muddy and there was a lot of dust each day.
I highly recommend Claws of Africa and James for your trip in Tanzania ☺
