We're looking back on a wonderful holiday in Tanzania, organised by Afroriginal Tours
We visited West Kilimanjaro staying at Simba Farm first just to relax after our arrival, and what a warm welcome this was! Set between Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru with beautiful views, wonderful fresh meals and the people went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.
Afterwards we went on Safari to Lake Manyara for 2 days and stayed at a very comfortable camp, set in a beautiful location with all the comfort you wished for. We saw a lot of wildlife and our guide Fay was an excellent driver and shared a lot of knowledge about animals, trees, birds etc. We also did a treetop walk, high up in the canopy of Manyara's Forest, which gives you another new experience!
We continued to South Serengeti and again saw a lot of wildlife, zebra's and wildebeests, hyena's, all types of gazelle, giraffes and the flamingo's at Lake Ndutu. Even a leopard lying in a tree with a herd of grazing elephants right underneath! One of our highlights was the balloon safari we did in Serengeti, an unforgettable journey indeed, after the flight we were treated to a breakfast set up in the middle of the bush. In the end we flew back to Arusha to relax for a few days before returning home.
So our experience with Afroriginal is very positive indeed, they listen carefully to your needs and make sure the itinerary fits you perfectly. Thanks to Desiree and Fay for giving us an extraordinary experience which we will remember forever!
Afroriginal excellent partner
This was the 2nd time Afroriginal organized a safari for me and again: it was great! Accommodation at the various parks were beyond expectation. Desiree and Fay, thank you very much, my compliments! I can recommend anyone to go with Afroriginal to Tanzania. It will be an unforgettable experience!

Excellent safari
Based on what we wanted, in a short time and for a good price Afroriginal tours has arranged everything very smoothly! Very luxurious to be just with you own party and accompanied by a very good guide and chef. :) We had fun and a very relaxed safari due to the arrangement of Afroriginal tours! Much thanks too Desiree!
We have been on a canoe safari, horse back riding (day1) and had game drives in Tarangire National Park (I recommend this for the elephants lovers!), Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater (beautiful and we saw the rhino with baby!). We also did the night game drive which is very interesting for different animals! Desiree can give you a good program to your needs and wants! Outside the high season you are alone in the parks! :)
Thank you Desiree for arranging it for us!

The journey of our lives.
Our trip started a year ago. We wanted to go on safari in januari 2017 with our family as a celebration for our 35 years of marriage. On the internet I came in contact with Desiree de Ridder. I explained what we thought we wanted and she planned the whole safari and the time in Zanizibar. I must say she did iT the perfectly.
IT was beyond our expectations. The safari Tour was Every day different, because of the different Parks, accomodations. The service was outstanding. We had to guides, drivers Fay and Steward. The told us a lot About the wildlife, Masai , nature. The have done everything to make our journey onforgettable.
After the safari we went to Zanzibar. We visites Stone Town very impressie and Desiree booked US in the Coffehouse. A perfect hotel with great service and with a nice roofterrace to have your breakfast.
The day after we went to Mwezi boutique resort. On the wat we had a spicetour, which was very educational. We bought spices there. The Mwezi boutique Resort is fantastic, your own Beach house, view on the sea and beach. A perfect place to enjoy the last days of your holiday. Desiree, Fay and Steward Thanks a lot for the special trip.

Terrific, again !!
This was our third Safari. The organisation again was excellent, the driver(Fay) knows everything we asked about Wildlife(he knows to find where they are...) and all accomodations were superb! In French: Chapeau!

Dream Honeymoon Safari
After always wanting to go on safari, my wife and I booked our honeymoon through Afroriginal and it turned out better than we could have ever imagined. They thought of everything and our guide, Stuart, was an expert at making us feel like our game drives were once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Our accommodations were also terrific and Afroriginal took care of everything including letting everyone at our luxury camps know it was our honeymoon ahead of time. Indeed, it doesn't get more special than Champagne in the Serengeti with lions in plain sight! If you are looking for incredible personal service by true experts dedicated to ensuring a trip of a lifetime, then Afroriginal is where to go. We highly recommend them!
It worked very well from the first communication up to the travel was finished.
The communication and the service were very good and our expectations about the safari, living and guiding as well!
Nice and friendly wellcome.
We would like to recommend this company for your next safari.

Great safari trip....
Everything was arranged well. And communication regarding the travel was good and fast. Flexibility doe arrangement and the safari itself was amazing.
Very glad we went with Afroriginal.
We had a very pleasant and enjoyable experience with Afroriginal Tours and Safaris.
Our tour operator Desiree was very helpful and prompt in attending to our requests. Emails were answered regularly and she customised the safari to our requirements. She even organized a small birthday celebration for our son at one of the camps ! We were very pleased with our guide/driver Jeremiah too. He was a very safe and experienced driver ,. He was always very polite and was very knowledgable .The living arrangements were adequate though I did think that the food was fairly average. The tents could also do with fans as it could get very stuffy and hot inside. Overall a different and good experience.

Super safari!
Desiree is your contact person. They can arrange everything for you. Specify what you want and can do.
Her partner Fay does the safari tour. He is communicative very good and really a walking encyclopedia!
Not only does he have knowledge of the "big five" but also all birds, insects and plants.
Unbelievable how fast he sees everything. He gets the best out of your safari.
They do this for years and this experience is evident in the result.
