Professionals, you can trust them
We had the best safari we could expect! Noel was always online and in touch (not like most services in Tanzania). He provide us with everything we need to enjoy our first safari. We are 4 adults and 2 children 5 and 7 years old. Everybody get his own experience, and was happy. The guide, his name is Gudson (not sure how to write it correct), is the very professional. He had a years of walking safaries experience in Serengeti and Tarangire, and know everything about nature of that region. Hi is in general a very intelligent person, who knows a lot, and it's very interesting to speak to him. We also saw people from France doing safari with Fur Tours, they were happy too. So, if you want to go safari, do not hesitate, just go with that professional's! P.s. recommend travellers to have 2 days in Serengeti, and probably not go to Maniara lake, but it just my opinion
Great experience
We have booked half day safari in Arusha and 4 days safari in Tarangire-Serengeti- ngorongoro crater. Everything was great! Our driver, Ashley, was the best. He was more than just a good driver. He was also very prepared to teach us about animals habits and life in Africa. We manage to see all the big 5 and many other animals. Also, the accomodation in parks was beyond expectations. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Very friendly and professional Safari Tour Operator
We booked a 4 day Safari through Tarangeri NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara. We got a warm welcome at the JRO Airport from our Operator Noel and were driven to our Hotel in Arusha. Our Guide for the Safari was a Massai,his name Emanuel was very friendly. His knowledge about the wild animals and all National Parks All accommodations were very nice. Everthing was perfect. I can fully recommend FUR TOURS & TREK

Reliable responsive company with great expertise, strong guides, per standards, competitively priced
We booked a luxury 6 day safari (first safari experience) in Tanzania for 2 persons, with Fur Tours & Trek, covering 4 parks Terengire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara.
Stayed over full board in 3 different Serena Lodges, well located in the parks.
Paid 100% upfront. Alternative is 25% downpayment, 75% in full in USD upon arrival. (Bank transfers do come with 3.5% bank commission.)
Very responsive upfront communications with owner Noel Mann, via WhatsApp to clarify offering and our wishes/requests.
Route and choice of lodges was optimized to minimize travel and fully benefit from the parks, with first park visited upon day of arrival (flight arrived 7 am) and last park visited on day of departure (flight departed 11pm).
Private safari jeep with same driver drove us through the different parks.
Jeep was a typical reliable reference customized Toyota Land Cruiser, with extendable roof, like 95% of the jeeps used by the other safari operators.
Great guide (Ashley):
-Great driver – The roads get often rough, steep, narrow, winding in the parks. It’s critical to feel safe and get safely to your destination
-Fluent in English and spontaneous, conversational guide - You spent full days together. It’s important to feel at ease and communicate freely
-Knowledgeable: performed studies in fauna & flora – Shared great insights and learnings on all animals and plants we crossed. Very educational.
-Sharp eye, well connected: Optimized the game hunt in function of tips captured on the internal radio. Knew were to find and spot animals. Saw animals we would otherwise just have driven by.
We saw all we were hoping to see and far more. Every day was spectacular.
-Dynamic and motivated: Passionate about his country and offering his guests the best experience possible. Offered early morning drives, with the awaking Serengeti at sun-rise. Learned us a ton about Tanzania and its inhabitants.
-Expertise & well connected: Previous park ranger experience. Knows the parks and the people inside-out. Managed to get us quickly and smoothly through the park entrances.
Value for money: This local company operates only with locals, is very responsive and dynamic.
There’s no middle-man commissions and heavy structure to finance, and they get good local deals with the lodges.
They’re hence able to offer very competitive pricing, sometimes more than 20% cheaper than other comparable offerings.
It was a true pleasure to travel with Fur Tours & Trek, and guide Ashley.
We’d warmly recommend them.

That was marvelous!
Safari fully met our expectations. Professional, very interesting, informative. Guide-driver was just a fan of his job, we've got a lot of information about wilde life of the nature parks we visited (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara) plus to it just nice communication and great sense of humor. We saw many wonderful animals, all big five of Tanzania was spotted. Hotels to rest after busy with impressions day were comfortable, all in general was arranged very well. Definitely recommend Fur Tours & Trek.

Could not ask for a better experience.
Well first off theres alot of tour companies to go with and i was talking to several through email. Noel from fur tours was always so prompt with communicating with me. In fact he whats app me so was able to text live with him even though he was 14 hours different. He would text even though it was late where he was. We ended up doing the luxury tour with him. They were super competitive with the price of other luxury tours. Best price and best lodges as we looked each individual one up.
We were greeted at the kilimanjaro airport by Noel and our guide Ashley. We had a long flight and they took us to our first stay in Arusha which was fantastic. For the next 5 days we went on one incredible adventure touring all the parks and a day with the Hazabe. Every day was perfect and the food was fabulous Ashley was so helpful and insightful and new every animal, bird, plant,insect, big and small. He has the best vision I've ever seen he could spot things that you would never see. We saw all big 5 and then some. Including 2 cheetahs and the rare black rhino. I wish i could post some picures. We had such a fun time with him he is very personable. He is the best guide we have ever had on any trip. On the last day after the morning game drive Ashley took us back to the airport in time to fly out to Zanzibar. Noel met us there and we all said goodbye. Thanks guys for the best trip ever
