Great expirience
We took 3-days private safari on December 28-30, 2020. We chose the company despite the fact that there were few reviews and did not regret it. The price was one of the best. We visited 3 parks: Taringiri, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Our guide Didas is a very accurate driver. He spotted animals where we didn't notice anything. He always stopped the car for better observation and taking pictures. In the car we always had drinking water, binoculars and power outlets for phone charging. All 3 days we had packed lunch in parks. We spent 2 nights in a beautiful comfortable Eileen’s Tree Inn lodge. During these 3 days we have seen a lot of animals: lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, hippos, gazelles and antelopes, jackals, hyenas, serval, flamingos, eagles and many other beautiful birds. Many was very close, although it's all a matter of luck. Landscapes was also amazing, especially the scenery in Ngorongoro. Thanks Furaha Tours and our guide Didas. Alexey & Gulnara.

So far best wild nature experience in my life.
We did a 4 days safari and we had a great time thanks to the professionalism of Furaha Tours and Safaris. The car was perfect and very well cleaned, the picnic lunch was amazing and our guide Didas was incredible. Beyond an excellent driver who knows how to drive on the rough park roads, he has good eyes to find the rarest animals in their best angles and also has great knowledge about the territory, the animals and Tanzania in general. He speaks English very well, which makes everything easier for the tourist.
Thanks, Furaha Tours and Safaris, for incredible suggested tour.

A lifetime experience
Our safari was just amazing from day one thanks to the company manager Phil and our guide Didas.
Phil’s response time was always quick and he helped us to adjust our itinerary without any problems.
Didas is the best guide ever! He made our trip unforgettable. Patient, funny and always finding the best spots to see animals. And an AMAZING driver.
We took a 4-day safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
Accommodation in lodges was comfortable. Especially the Marera Valley lodge is a lovely place to relax after a long day in a car.
Also the camp in Serengeti NP on our second night was a great experience. We were lucky to be the only guests in the camp and we spent the night in the middle of the park listening to lions roaring very close :)
Overall the organization of our trip was great. Phil was in touch with us during the safari, making sure all was going smoothly.
I can highly recommend Phil's company and thank Didas for his care and professionalism. Hope to come back. Asante sana!

Memorable Safari with Furaha Tours and Safari
Just returned from an amazing safari in Tanzania with Furaha Tours and Safaris. From initial inquiry to last airport transfers everything was handled in a professional manner. Phil was very responsive and able to tailor a safari to fit my schedule and interests. He answered all my questions and was able to provide helpful additional information about visas and Covid testing. Visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and each park provided the opportunity to see different animals and habitats. Didas did an amazing job driving the challenging roads. Never felt rushed as one of his favorite phrases was polepole, polepole (slowly slowly) He has terrific eyesight and was able to spot animals from afar and move us into to position for just the perfect view and picture. We saw the Big 5 and so much more! Every day seemed to be better than the day before and it is impossible to pick just one highlight of the trip. Enjoyed staying in the lodges and at night you often heard the sounds of hyenas, lions or other animals. The meals were well prepared and each morning they provided a delicious picnic lunch as we left for another day of adventure. Felt well taken care of the entire time. Thank you Furaha Tours and Safaris for a memorable vacation!

Just perfect
We are a family with two young children and have just done a safari in Northern Tanzania where we visited 3 parks. For this safari we chose Furaha Tours and Safaris Limited based in Arusha as I found it better value for money and offered a lot of flexiblility regarding our interests. Also for this type of trip you are with your guide the entire time so I wanted to make sure I get to choose who we are with as a great guide is really important. We have found Didas, our guide, to be great and incredibly helpful in organizing our days and finding all the right spots to enjoy the national parks and see all the wild animals .......we have never had any problems on our safari and have loved every minute of it!!!! So for a Northern Circuit safari I wouldn't use any other company.

Amazing tour operator
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 !
Great guide
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.

The best experience
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.
