ASANTE SANA CLAWS OF AFRICA!
Pros:
-Fatuma; quickest response from all the safari operators we contacted with and most clear and transparent information
-Magoma/Zaire(game drive operators); well prepared, knowledgeable and always smiling(best guys!), they didn’t impose anything(unlike most tour operators almost everywhere in the world) and toke us everywhere we wanted to
-Bernard/Matius; they dropped us off to the airport(super friendly)
-GAME DRIVE(during 5day safari we saw PLENTY of animals including 4 leopards, 10 cheetahs, about 50 lions, 4 crocs, rock python, rhino and about 5 eagles)!
-food; always tasty and much on the plate(favourite Pilau, pancakes, Boga Boga and fruit dishes)
-Hotel Mr. Fatuma recommended the day before and after safari(perfect conditions)
Cons:
-We want more :)

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.

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.

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 ☺

4 Days safari
We were a group of 5 people and we did a 4 day and 3 night tent safari through Lake Manyara, Serengueti and Ngorongoro. We chose Claws of Africa after Fatuma was very friendly and kind. During safari everything went well. Our guide Dickson its was very friendly and did everything for us to see as many animals as possible. Also our cooker, Pascal, it was very nice and funny and did very delicious food.
I recommend "Claws of Africa" and also the camping experience for people that would like to have an experience closer to the wild life.

Dream Trip
It all started when I decided to make my dream come true and thankfully I decided to do it with CLAWS OF AFRICA.
I did a 4 day and 3 night tent safari and it was wonderful.
Without our guide Emanuel nothing would be possible because besides having the same passion that we for the animals still had an enormous patience to stop whenever we asked to observe the animals.
The cook who was always with us never missed anything and Pasco's food is wonderful.
I am sorry I did not stay more days because I found everything wonderful but I hope one day come back.
