Clear communication and reliable service
We contacted Miraji (head of Ifude Tours) many months in advance to start planning our six day safari trip. Communication was clear, honest and fast via mail and whatsapp. Itineraries are flexible and can be adjusted to your needs. We were timely informed about any changes to Tanzanian or Zanzibar regulations, guidelines for tipping, what to bring and other questions we had.
The day before the tour we met with Miraji and our driver/guide Samuel to quickly go over the program and discuss what to expect. The next morning, we left for our safari itinerary to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP. We stayed in comfortable mid-range lodges/luxury tents. The safari land cruiser was clean and well maintained. Samuel was knowledgeable, experienced and a safe driver. During the different game drives we saw pretty much every animal we could've wished for: the big five, cheetah, warthogs, giraffe, zebra, serval cat, antelopes, gazelles, many birds, hippo's, crocodiles, wildebeest crossing etc
Lunch was always delicious and the accommodation overall was good and clean, with friendly staff. Ifude Tours is a reliable local tour operator with good value for money.
Thank you Ifude Tours for organizing this once in a lifetime experience for us!

Fun, friendly, accommodating and genuine
Had a fantastic experience with these guys. Felt like a road trip with new friends. Accomodations were spot on, the team Miraji put together were charismatic, energetic, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, skilled and kind. I highly recommend.

Wonderful, flexible, knowledgeable, Tanzanian-owned tour operator with respect for local communities
I can highly recommend Ifude tours for a Tanzanian-owned and operated tour company. I especially valued their use of local guides, their sensitivity to the community, and their flexibility in designing our itinerary.
Miraji is a very helpful and organised operator; he responded consistently to queries. He designed a schedule based on our specific requests – to see the Kitulo National Park, and to go on a long hike down to Lake Nyasa. He also proposed other visits on the drive back, and we did get to see (and swim in) an extraordinarily beautiful waterfall, and bat cave. Some of the itinerary was too ambitious for the short time we had available, and we would love to go back.
Our guide Japhari was a locally trained expert on the National Park, and especially knowledgeable about the flowers found there. He was great company, looked after us well and communicated clearly. I was very pleased that Japhari was accompanied on the hike by an even more local guide – a young man who lived in the area we walked through, and had been recommended by the local school headmaster. As we walked past a homestead, our group was alerted by the women who lived there, to the fact that our route was blocked by a recent landslip, and the advised us to go another way, which worked out well.
Our drive was another local man, Kelvin, who drove with skill and care on the steep off road sections. We stayed in comfortable hotels, and ate well, including lots of local and delicious fruits and avocados.
We had looked at other options before we chose Ifude, and Ifude was very reasonably priced. I would definitely use them again for any tour in Tanzania.
