Highly professional operation and good value-for-money
I would highly recommend booking with Travel Africa Safari Agency. Mohamed provided excellent and very professional service. He was very responsive both during the booking process as well as while I was in Arusha. The driver Andrew was also punctual, friendly, and a great driver.
Furthermore, the tour is very good value-for-money, as Mohamed includes a free, round-trip airport transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport to Arusha town (normally $100 round trip if you went with a taxi) as well as accommodation before and after the tour. This was a standout offering compared to the other tour operators that we had contacted, and was the main reason we chose to go with Travel Africa Safari Agency.
The only downside is that the free accommodation provided at Arusha Tourist Inn was a bit disappointing, with cold water, unfriendly service, and everything a bit poorly maintained. This is not directly within the control of Travel Africa Safari Agency as they do not operate the lodge, but does somewhat limit the value of the free accommodation that is offered before and after the tour.
Overall would nevertheless still highly recommend Travel Africa Safari Agency both for the excellent and professional service as well as the superb value for money.

A good choice
I did the five day safari and I can say that it was one of the best travel experiences of my life.
From my understanding all the tour companies hire independent contractors and they all take you to the same camp grounds or choices of hotels.
The advantage of this group is that they provide transportation from the airport and an extra night of hotel for the same price others charge.
I was a single traveler and my tour was cancelled. Mohammed did right and got me on a tour with some Brazilians, then a big mixture of people for three days and then two French people for my last day. He was very available late in the evening.
He asks you to pay a little up front on a weird African PayPal site. He had a driver waiting for me at the airport. The lunches were OK.
So much of what you will see is luck. I saw a Cheetah chase a gazel, three lions attack a hyena, and two pairs of lions having sex. These parks are awesome and they are some of the best places in the world to see animals. This company tries and took care of me.

An experience I will never forget
This safari experience was authentic, fun, adventurous and secure. I can’t thank Mohamed effort for his warm Tanzanian greeting and hospitality while staying in Arusha and making sure we were well looked after. His local suggestions for places to go and guiding us there was awesome, particularly the orphanage visit. With his good friend Andrew always there to transport us where we needed to go with a smile and great help with Swahili lessons. David Simba was an excellent safari guide with great knowledge of the national parks, animals and culture. His singing and spirit were infectious. Nothing was a trouble and you could always count on him for a great story and prime spot to see the animals. The cooked meals prepared by Shidyea were top level and prepared with a smile. He also considered my friends dietary requirements making sure food was gluten free. It was a great camping experience where the tents, mattresses and sleeping bags provided a most comfortable stay. The whole time David made us feel safe and secure. Amazing service by all and it will be an experience I will hold close to me for a long time. Asante Sana Asante Sana

4 Day Camping Safari
Travel Africa Safari were wonderful! From the moment we booked there was communication with Mohammed who helped arrange transfers from the airport. The staff at the lodge were friendly, located in a busy part of Arusha with walking distance to supermarket and ATM. Our guide Simba David was very knowledgeable and a safe driver. The tents were clean and spacious and positioned well within the camp grounds. Sidya our cook was AMAZING, having dietary requirements he was amazing at creating delicious meals for everyone. We saw so many animals on safari and even had the opportunity to visit a Masi village. Highly recommend!

Such a memorial tour owe to David!!
Such a memorable trip!
Absolutely incredible!! Choosing 4days lodge safari was the best decision we could’ve made for our Tanzania trip. We initially communicated with Mohamed who sent us a detailed itinerary including the parks we would visit and the lodges we would stay at. He answered our many questions quickly and informatively. During the trip, David was our guide. You could tell how much he loves his job by his enthusiasm for animals and the national parks of Tanzania. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and that we saw as many animals as possible. All three meals were freshly made (delicious!!) and the lodges were absolutely beautiful and comfortable. You can’t go wrong with choosing Travel Africa Safari Agency! We will 100% be back!
Thank you Mohamed and David for creating such a memorable trip for us!

Fantastic safari tour.
Mohamed was quick and easy to communicate with. He responded to my emails and WhatsApp messages prior to the safari. Arrange for the hotel stay the day before, and explained the safari tour details patiently. We were 5 of us, in a Toyota Landcruiser that has the space and ability to stand up for game viewing and photographs. Our tour guide David Simba was wonderful, his knowledge of the region, animals and culture, along with his sense of humor was a nice balance to have for those long drives. We saw the big 5, some up close and plenty of opportunities to take pictures etc., The cook made simple lunch and tasty dinner for us daily. Accommodations were a mix of tent camping and lodge/hotel types, some with a swimming pool and wifi. Overall, a very pleasant and satisfying tour without any problems. Strongly recommend. For the price point, this is perhaps the best option in Arusha. Go for it.
