Disaster! We felt totally lied to and scammed! Give Us the Money Back!
From my experience Run! It's my opinion that this Company is dangerous and unreliable!
We lost around USD 6,000 because this Company did not pay for our fees of the Serengeti National Park and accommodations, and it still does not give us any refund until now. We will gradually share the evidence in our every reviews to reveal the fraud of this Company.
This Company has already given a Red Alert by Safarigo because it defrauded other travellers in the same way. It has defrauded at least 20 people from 4 groups, and each group lost USD 3,000 to 7,000 because of its fraud. All good reviews to this Company recently are fake reviews because its management team has been arrested by the police of Arusha for many days and its boss, Mdee, is hiding. What its boss is doing everyday now is lying to the victim clients, the police and the platforms, and writing fake good reviews to attract more innocent potential travellers to fall into its traps.
Actually we have reached an agreement with the Company that it will make equal repayments in 4-months installments, and we will receive USD 1,521 by the end of November, while we will stop writing bad reviews to it. However, this Company told the police yesterday that it will only give us USD 400 on DECEMBER 30, which broke its promise aaaaagain.
This terrible review is a reward for its breaking the words yesterday. I do hope this Company will really give us the money back. Once it gives us the refund, I will update here. If there is not any update...Wow, dear traveler, you will be the next.

Dishonest company: Qualified Tours & Travels – Tanzania”
In Dec 2024, we paid $4,000 USD to Qualified Tours & Travels – Tanzania, operated by Mr. Navulia.
After receiving the money, they vanished – no tours, no communication, no refund.
We filed a legal case against the company, Qualified tours and its director, Mr Navulia
✅ We won the case in court.
❌ Mr. Mdee escaped and has not followed the court's order.
Tanzania Police are currently searching for him.
So all visitors should be alert!

The most shameless operator
We engaged with Qualified Tours Tanzania Limited in May 2024 and paid 20% ($4,800) of deposit to them in June 2024. At about Dec 2024, we note the adverse comment of this company. We tried to make sure all the accomodation booking was made and hence asked them to provide the evidence on 15th Dec 2024. We sent them emails and WhatsApp requesting for the proofs but was stalling by them. No matter their sales department promised to provide the proofs by 21 Dec 2024, I had never received it. I wrote them emails on 25th Dec 24, 4 Jan 25 urging them to provide but no response was received. I wrote to them on 13 Jan again. They replied on the same day, 13 Jan 25, and claim that they attached the proofs in the email. Indeed, there was no attachment. I wrote to them immediately requesting them to send the proofs again but no response was received. I kept waiting and writing to them on 19 Jan 2025 reminding them to provide the proofs but still get no response from them. On 27 Jan 25, we cannot wait any further and finally wrote to them expressing our disappointment with their attitude and request for full refund of the deposit. After that, they drag on saying they were preparing the documents but never provide it to me. I stood firm on my decision to cancel the booking and kept requesting them to refund the money to me. On 26 Feb 25, they finally agreed to refund all the deposit to me. Indeed, I provided to them the bank account information on 27 Jan 25 for them to transfer the money back to me. However the money did never transfer to my designated account. They denied they hadn't transferred the money but said the money was rebounced. I had requested them to provide the proofs and copy their bank transfer instruction to me so that I could check what was wrong. Nevertheless, nothing had been provided. on 11/5/25, they said the money was rebounced again but couldn't provide any proofs. They even proposed on 11/5/25 to pay me back in cash. It was totally ridiculous. How could I get the cash? I am not in Tanzania. I have no confidence to meet them in person even if I was in Tanzania. I rejected their proposal and insisted them to transfer the money to my designated account. Up to this moment, I have never received the money nor heard from them anymore since their last reply on 5/7/25 kept saying to pay me back in cash which had already been rejected. I have wrote to them on 21 Sept 25 as a final reminder. If I couldn't received my money on 28/9/25, I will file a formal complaint against them at all possible statutory authorities.
One more issue, I learn there is another safari trips agent in Tanzania operating the similar tricks as Qualified Tours Tanzania Limited to cheat the tourists. When the tourist paid them all the tourist fee, they didn't pay the accommodation and parks fee. They lied that due to network issues or other reason that was out of thier control, the money could not be transferred to the parks or hotels, and requested the tourist to pay on their behalf. Usually they would promised to pay back the tourist in order to sooth the tourist's emotion and intention to file the complaint locally.
Wish it will help the other tourist!
