Great experience
5/5

We just returned from an unforgettable safari, and we can't thank our incredible team enough for making it such a perfect experience.
Our guide, Mtinangi, was simply outstanding. He expertly navigated the vast landscape, always bringing us safely to the most spectacular animal sightings. His deep knowledge of the bush was evident every single day, and he explained everything—from animal behavior to the local ecosystem—with passion and great detail. More than that, he took great care of us, making sure we were comfortable and looked after throughout our journey.
We must also praise our cook, Yusuf. Every meal was a highlight of our day. He consistently prepared a wide variety of delicious and generous dishes, always surprising us with something special. He was also incredibly accommodating and happy to cater to our specific requests. The food was consistently top-notch.
Together, Mtinangi and Yusuf are an amazing team. Their expertise, care, and dedication made our safari truly exceptional, and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

Tour guide of the year!!
5/5

10/10 recommend!!! This was my first ever safari and mtinagi made the process so easy! I got more for what I paid than expected from accommodations every night, 3 meals a day, water provided and a fun atmosphere. Even got to camp in Serengeti which was fun. Food was amazing and cooked fresh by our amazing cook Joseph. We seen a few rare sighting from 4 leopards all at separate times, cheetahs eating a gazelle &lions eating a buffalo. Mtinagi made sure we got to every sighting to have a memorable time & gave us a ton of knowledge about the animals we were seeing along the way

great experience!
5/5

Thanks to Travel Africa Agency for our unforgettable safari! We got a ton of impressions, saw a lot of animals and the amazing nature of Tanzania. I would like to make a special mention of our guide Malisa, he was very caring, chose the route perfectly, told us a lot of interesting facts about animals and generally created a wonderful atmosphere during the trip. The agency also helped us organise an additional trip to Serval wild life after the safari itself, and everything went perfectly. Rachel was always in touch and helped us with any questions. I highly recommend this agency for organizing your perfect trip!

Very informative yet fun! Knew exactly where to go and what to see
5/5

The tour was very good - our guide Mtinangi knew so much about the animals, was able to see 4 out of the big 5 and many more. He got us to see them from a good distance and provided us with lots of information.

The tour ran very smoothly and someone was always available to answer any questions.

5/5

Mtinangi was a perfect safari guide. I have zero complaints about our experience with him. He answered all of our questions about the culture, the animals, and everything in between. We got to see such amazing things every single day. He always knew exactly where to go to get the best views on every animal we saw. Plus he did this all while telling great stories, cracking great jokes and sharing about his own life and experiences. The 20 years of experience truly shows!! I would highly recommend booking with Mtinangi!!

Mtinangi is the funniest and most knowledgeable guide there is.
5/5

Mtinangi is super professional, knowing all the routes and places to go like the back of his hand. He is super knowledgeable about all the animals and any questions you could have about Tanzania Safaris. He’s been running tour guides for 20+ years and is seriously as good as they come. He’s very charismatic and funny, the car was never a dull moment with his hilarious stories and culture sharing. Don’t be turned off by him being outgoing - he certainly wasn’t overbearing in any way and knew how to read a room/car lol. We made great time between destinations but also felt totally safe in the car with him. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking to make the most of their Tanzania travels!!

Safari and trekking experiences!

I booked all my trips with Travel Africa Safari and had the best experience. Very professional and made your stay very special always being there making sure we were ok. I went on a 2 - day safari which was unforgettable. My guide Godfrey was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Ally was the driver, doing my transfers, a very good driver, friendly and made sure you were safe at all times. I had several day trips in and around Arusha, experienced the local life. I was looked after by guide James, who was extremely good, helpful and reliable and also made that little extra to make your adventure even better. I highly recommend Travel Africa Safari, it could not be better! Eva, Sweden

I originally chose Travel Africa Safari for my Marangu trek due to their extremely efficient response to my queries and regular updates during the lead up to the trek and great value for money.
Upon arrival I received an excellent briefing before setting off on my individual trek with my guide Patrick and his crew. I had wondered about trekking alone rather than as a group, however due to the quick pace of the 5 day route, Patrick tailored everything to my individual needs and I’m sure this helped very much to my success and overall feeling of well being throughout my experience!
On such a trek there can always be highs and lows, however Patrick and his crew’s upbeat nature, excellent knowledge of the nature and terrain and attention to detail helped keep me motivated all the way to the summit - and back down again!
Would I choose to trek again with the same crew? Absolutely!

A truly exceptional tour operator
5/5

We had an incredible safari experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Mtinangi .

His ability to spot animals—even from a distance—was truly impressive. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see the Big Five and so much more. He made sure we were always safe, comfortable, and in the best positions for viewing and photography.

We feel lucky to have had such a skilled and enthusiastic guide. He truly went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari.

Thank u ;)
