Reviews
exciting adventure
We wanted to book a two-day safari from Zanzibar to the Ngongongoro Crater at short notice. Grade One Tours was recommended to us and it was a great choice. They go to great lengths to fulfill all our wishes and ensure an unforgettable trip. We also really enjoyed our overnight stay, the Karatu Villa Lodge. It was a fun, exciting adventure with excellent value for money.

Extremely Frustrating
I trusted this company with a $6,700 USD total payment on their behalf because their system was down and they couldn’t pay the hotel and park fees themselves during my trip. I didn’t want my trip to turn into a total nightmare but unfortunately asking for reimbursement is a total stress.
After I paid in full, they suddenly claimed that their system was down and couldn’t pay the hotel on my behalf — even though this was their responsibility. They asked me to pay the hotel myself, promising they would reimburse me right away.
It’s now been over a month, and I’ve received nothing but excuses, broken promises, and constant delays. Every time I follow up, I get a new reason for the hold-up — yet no one seems to take real accountability. It’s exhausting and extremely unprofessional.
This isn’t just a delay — it’s $6,700 of my hard-earned money that they’re holding, with zero urgency or integrity. I feel scammed, disrespected, and taken advantage of.
I’m beyond frustrated and completely disappointed. Unless they resolve this immediately, I’ll be forced to take legal action and warn others about doing business with them. No one deserves this kind of treatment.

It was an incredibly wonderful experience
Everything went really well.
From the flights and the pick-up at the airport to the accommodation between the safaris. We were on the road for 3 days and were able to gather lots of unforgettable impressions. All 3 national parks were great.
Our driver and his jeep were also very competent. We had a packed lunch every day on the way and water from the fridge in the car was also included! I give it a grade 1
highly recommended

Tarangire, Ngorongo and Lake Manyara
Halima from Grade One Tours accompanied us great from the start. all wishes were fulfilled immediately. we had a very good exchange. halima wants to give her guests an unforgettable experience, which she has achieved. We had a wonderful 3 day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongo Crater and Lake Manyara. The overnight stay at the Karatu Tendet Lodge was also really nice, as was the delicious packed lunch. The drivers Ally and Salim did everything so that we could discover all the animals and were able to tell us a lot about the animal world. They are very well trained guides. We would book with Grade One Tours again at any time. it was simply unforgettable and indescribable. Thank you Halima, for all your efforts to make this trip something unforgettable for us. you did exactly that! Our kids were also very enthusiastic. a great price-performance ratio. Thank you very much!!

Beautiful Lodges, Great Guide, and Wildlife Magic！
We had an amazing time in Tanzania with Grade One Tours! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made sure we didn’t miss anything — we saw lions cuddling, a cheetah marking its territory, elephants hugging, and even giraffes doing their neck dance!
The lodges were cozy and beautifully set in nature, and the food was always tasty. Everything was well taken care of. Can’t wait to come back again someday!
Memorable Experience
Grade One Tours provided an excellent experience for me, making it easy to coordinate trips to Serengeti National and Ngorongoro Crater I didn’t have to worry about anything which made the experience even better. The price that I paid was worth the money and more. I highly recommend.

Well organised and experienced.
We had a day tour through Arusha national park which was really beautiful. We have seen plenty of wildlife and pretty spots. Overall well organised tour and value for money.
