Once a lifetime experience
5/5

We had such a great experience with Furaha! We highly recommend it. You won't regret making that choice.
Even before the tour started, the communication with Phil was always prompt and couteous. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the moment we were dropped off at the airport (5am in the morning), we have experience nothing but professional service. Our driver and guide were Noel and Vincent and they were so experienced and considerate. I cannot say enough about them. Noel has more than 20 years of experience in the business and Vincent is a young and handsome man with several years of experience under his belt as well. They drive safely and know where to find the animals. I cannot count the times they stop the jeep and point to a direction for us. They see better with their naked eyes than us with binoculars. We saw all big fives on the trip. Along Mara River, we saw 5-6 big group crossings in one morning thanks to their experience. Noel just knew when to wait and when to move on. We were so lucky to have them on the tour. Also, both of them are very knowledgable about animals, birds. plants, geology, and Masai people. WeI have learned a great deal during this short safari trip. We all had a wonderful time and my kids keep asking when we will be going back for another tour. Overall, it far exceeded my expectation and I would not hesitate to recommend Furaha to any friends if they want to take a safari tour there. Having the right guides makes all the differences and we are happy we found Furaha.
If I may make one suggestion: prepare a few masks in the jeep in case the guests don't have their own. The roads in the national parks are so dusty sometimes. It is a small price to pay to see the wild animals in their natural habitat.

Very Accommodating and Knowledgeable
5/5

Before planning this trip we did not know what to expect when traveling to Africa for the first time. Phil was very helpful in helping us understand the components of our safari and the prices associated with each component. Phil was extremely quick to respond to any questions I had and helped us plan our safari to what we specifically wanted to see. During our safari, our guide Alais Laizer was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds, plants, and trees and helped us understand what we were looking at. Also when visiting Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and the Ngorongoro Crater, Alais knew the history behind the formation of these parks and how it affected the different tribes living in the area such as the Massai. Overall Alais Laizer was an amazing guide and his knowledge and warm personality made our first African Safari memorable. The only negative about this trip was one of the lodges (Fig Tree Lodge) which had an infestation of bugs in the bathroom and uncomfortable beds. Other than the other accommodations were great especially the tented camps which we loved. Overall I would recommend Furaha Tours to anyone wanting to go to their first Safari in Tanzania as they quickly respond to any questions you have, have amazing guides, and can help you plan your trip exactly how you want to.

Perfect
5/5

Really good experience with Furaha tours. They came to our hotel to give us a breafing before starting the safari and we met our guide/driver also, Zach, who is fantastic. He is an amazing and safe driver, very good guide and wonderful person. He respects fully animals and their spaces. My partner and I, we did a safari of 2 days in Mikumi National Park and we slept in Vumahills for 3 nights (inside of park). Accommodation, food and staff were perfect. 100% recommended. Thanks a lot Furaha Tours and specially to Phil and Zach. All the best for you!!

The best experience
5/5

Frank, the guide who spent four days on the Serengeti safari tour!
He is the best driver and guide!
We were able to have a fun tour because they taught us a lot about African culture, and they explained the animals well when we were playing games. We tried to find and show the animals we wanted to see as much as possible, and thanks to that, we were able to see all the Big Five animals. Thank you Frank for always guiding me kindly and gentle, and above all, for finishing the safari tour safely
Like the name of the Puraha company, our honeymoon was a very happy one.

Great guide
5/5

I had a wonderful 7 day safari in North Tanzania with Furaha. My guide, Chebi, was incredible. He was easy going, had a great sense of humor, and had a very deep knowledge of all the parks and areas we visited. The one issue, and it seemed to be for other companies as well, is the drive from the Ngorongoro area to North Serengeti is long and is on very bad roads. The tour description made no mention of this. I had to change my itinerary on the spot to avoid that drive a second time on my tour. Thankfully Furaha was able to do this. Another guest with another company that I met at one of the camps had the same experience and made the same changes.

Amazing tour operator
5/5

This was our first safari in Tanzania and we chose Furaha because of the flawless communication over whatsApp even weeks and months before the tour even started. This made us feel safe and we were not disappointed. Phil of Furaha tours was extremely supportive and always responded within less than an hour, he had an open ear for any questions we might have, They were also very flexible in adjustng the tour to our personal wishes.
Phil even contacted us every evening and even after the safary to make sure we felt good on our ongoing journey. This is customer care at its best !
We visited Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP and it was a wonderful experience ! Our driver, Emanel was so friendly and always trying to serve us as best as he can. He is an eagle-eye ! If there was an animal hiding in the grass, he would see it :-)
Overall, we managed to see 26 different species of aninals and birds ! What an adventure !
The jeep we had, had seen its best days behind it, but what the heck, it did its job flawlessly, never broke down and they even installed a power converter in the car, so we could charge our phones and cameras while driving. A great gadget !

All in all, we hope to come back and next time there is no more searching needed for the right tour operator, We would pick Furaha anytime again. Thanks, guys !

5/5

Omg, our 5 nights and 6 days safari was an unrealistically amazing experience and perfectly organized private tour!!! Our guide(driver) aDidas drives so carefully not to hurt wild animals and us. He always tries to protect and respect animals, environments, cultures and peoples. Super nice~~!!
Phil and FURAHA organized everything well. Thank you so much all of you. I want to say more than "thank you" but how can I express this :)
It's the time to travel Tanzania and enjoy private safaris. Calm and peaceful~
