Perfect
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!!

Very Accommodating and Knowledgeable
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.
Once a lifetime experience
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.

Mandara Hut Day Hike
I did a day hike to Mandara Hut and had an absolute blast! We hiked to the crater which was only a short distance away. The hike was around 12 miles with 3,000 feet vertical and was not to difficult of a hike. Lunch was provided. My guide Elirehema was a joy to spend the day with. Saw a few different monkey specifies. 10/10 recommend.

Very professional and well organized from A to Z of the trip.
We did a private Safari 5 days / 4 nights to Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorogoro/Manyara lake with Furaha Tours and Safaris.
Everything was perfect from the first contact to the last drop off.
Phil was very professional and always responded very fast to our enquiries.
You can trust Phil to offer you an optimised price with a tailor made experience.
Didas our guide deserve a 10/10 on driving and wildlife knowledge, in addition to be a very nice guy.
Thank you Furaha Tours and Safaris, we had a very great time.

Wonderful 3 days safari!
3 days safari with personal guide Sadat was absolutely an amazing experience. He was very organized planning every day to maximum benefit of spending more time in the parks rather than on the roads to reach them.
Sadat is very experienced and friendly. He made sure we could see as many animals as possible communicating with other drivers for the best spotting.
He also is very knowledgeable when it comes to the behavior of the many species and the history of the parks.
The manager of Furaha tours, Mr. Phil, was very helpful and understanding when it came to the Covid period securing our place even without a deposit and updating us with the every new regulations that the Tanzanian government was implementing.
In short, great service and amazing team to do safari with!

Incredible experience in Tanzania
It was an amazing experience in Tanzania. All the staff was incredible. The driver/guide Didas was excellent. He speaks English very well. He seems Hawkeye because he saw all the animals so far. He also told us all about the animals and solve all the questions we had. Moreover, Omari the chef prepared us an excellent menu all the days. It was the best food all around Tanzania.
We are very happy after doing the tour with them.
