An amazing experience!
My experience with Tanganyika Ancient Routes was so much more than I could have ever imagined. Tanzania is such a beautiful country with friendly people, wildlife and so much culture. We traveled throughout many of Tanzania's parks and were constantly seeing interesting wildlife- I never thought we would see as much as we did. The non-stop wildlife viewing kept us entertained the entire time, but my favorite part was learning about the people. Our drivers went out of their way to reach us about the native tribes, and the Swahili language and customs. I loved building friendships with the drivers and learning from them. I would recommend traveling in a group for this trip. We traveled with 10 people and it was perfect. The accommodations were stunning (especially the luxury camps) and I felt very safe the entire time! Service and staff were excellent throughout. This trip is one I'll never forget and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Met all expectations
You definitely need a guide on this tour. Charles and his team were exceptional as guides, drivers, and game spotters. I felt as though they were looking out for our entire family and group at all times. They in fact almost seemed like family by the end of the trip. We saw the Big 5 and Little 5. They were a wealth of knowledge about the animals, parks, and culture. I had total confidence in them during this trip. We did on drive with an outside driver that was complimentary from a Lodge and Charles, Zebi, and Charles were clearly better communicators and more adept at the game drives. The luxury tents were excellent. You won't be sorry that you booked with this operator.

Tanganyika Ancient Routes provided a complete safari experience down to the last detail.
We trusted Charles and Pam of Tanganyika Ancient Routes to plan our "trip of a lifetime" and they far exceeded all expectations. Their thorough and thoughtful plan for our group of ten travelers was perfect. They guided us through the flights, trip insurance, immunization, and visa procedures for our travelers from four countries. We were welcomed by Charles and his team at the airport and from that point on they handled every detail of our trip. All we had to do was pick what to eat from the many gourmet meals offered to us. Travel in the safari vehicles was delightful as our knowledgable guides taught us about the flora and fauna in each park and about the natural resources and people of beautiful Tanzania. They even taught us some Swahili words, phrases and songs and soon became our friends. The highlight of the trip was the wildlife in the national parks as we saw all of the "big five" and many more animals up close. Many of our accomodations were within the parks so that even at night we had these beautiful wild animals roaming right near our tents! Through it all we were always made to feel safe and comfortable. Words cannot express my appreciation of the care that Charles took to ensure the best experiences on our trip. I would not hesitate to plan future adventures with Charles, Pam and Tanganyika Ancient Routes and am happy to support a Tanzanian owned and managed company.

The Best Trip I've Ever Taken!
My safari with Tanganyika Ancient Routes was the best trip I've ever taken in my life, and I've traveled a lot. Charles and his team helped us every step of the way. We changed our itinerary multiple times and the team made that very easy for us to do, allowing us to customize the trip to our liking.
Tanganyika Ancient Routes was focused and professional from the moment we landed. They were waiting for us on time and made me feel extremely comfortable in an unfamiliar culture.
Our safaris were amazing. We saw everything we wanted to see and the guides allowed us to stay and watch certain groups of animals for however short or long of a time period we wanted. They made the long drives fun and taught us about the land, animals and language.
Our accommodations far exceeded my expectations. We stayed in lodges that made us feel like we were part of the culture, rather than busy hotels.
I always felt safe and taken care of.
I would not hesitate to take another trip with Tanganyika Ancient Routes.
