Afririgional. Perfect job, good assistance, well organized, you did it again!
5/5

I did the trip ten years ago with friends, that’s why I came back to Afririgional.
Now we knew where to go and with the advise of Afririgional we had a good journey with the family on the Serengeti in combination with a stay on Diani Beach. We had a very friendly and good tourguide, Sule, the tented camps on the Serengeti where lovely, just as expected, and the drinks on Diani Beach couldn’t be better. You don’t get it for free but it is worth double the money for all the good memories you get in return. Nothing went wrong from the start till the end, Afririgional did it all for us so well. We certainly will recommend Afririgional if you are planning an African Safari !!!!

We had an incredible trip and Afroriginal made the dream of my father come true. I wanted to give him an unforgettable experience but barely knew where to start. Through a colleague I heard about Afroriginal and with all the enthusiastic stories and marvelous pictures I contacted them to see what was possible for us. After various emailing, my numerous questions (which were all answered) they designed a tailor made program which included all our wishes in terms of accommodation, time and budget. Going into Serengeti and staying in a Tented Camp was most impressive, you're in the middle of the nature and we felt being a guest of the wildlife. Afroriginal enriched our lives with all the beauty Tanzania offered. Fay as a guide was amazing, he took up the daily challenge to surprise us with the most beautiful landscapes and variety of animals. It's impossible to describe the feeling, you just have to experience it yourself. Next time I'll put my trust in Afroriginal again easily, they are reliable, flexible and willing to think along with you. I can definitely recommend Afroriginal to everybody who wants to have a trip which stays with you for a lifetime.

Afroriginal made my dream come true!
5/5

We had the most wonderful and exciting holiday and safari organized by Desiree from Afroriginal Tours! From the first email contact, Desiree was very responsive and creative and proposed different options for our route and she created our own holiday-website. The holiday and safari itself exceeded my expectations! Perfect route and lodges, everything organized in detail with Fay as our great guide. Thank you so much for making my dream come true!

Wonderful Safari with LOTS of animals and very caring driver
5/5

We, as a family of 5, went on a 6 day safari and visited the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti National Park, lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park.
* The accommodation was very good. We slept in tented camps in the parks and hotels close to the parks. We always had very good service and food over there and good and clean rooms/ tents to sleep in.
* Our guide (Faye) was very caring. He showed us lots of animals, could answer all our questions about the wild animals and gave us a lot of information himself too. On most days he drove us around in the parks until 7pm and always waited for us to admire the wildlife.
* We saw a lot of animals, including all the animals of the big 5 and even a leopard and some cheetahs!
* 6 days was a perfect amount of time for us, long enough to make sure we saw as much as possible, but still short enough not to get all too tired of the spotting.
We are all very happy about this wonderful experience and would strongly recommend it to other people! (couples as well as people by themselves as well as families with children that are not very young)

Our expectations exceeded
5/5

Afroriginal Tours and Safaris organised our first 8-day safari-trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro-crater.
We (family of 4) got a very spacious 6-p landcruiser with a very good, kind and safe driver/guide (thank you Moses!). Accomodation varied between tented camp and more luxurious permanent lodges. But all were better than we could hope for. Even at the remotest place, staff will do their utmost to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We saw hundreds of elephants, lions, zebras and wildebeast and many, many other animals including leopards, cheetas, black cobra and serval. What an experience!

Breathtaking safari holiday in Tanzania!
5/5

Perfectly organized Safari by Desiree de Ridder. She organized a stunning trip through Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Desiree sent the full program with detailed information about the Parks and the accomodation by mail, it was all very well planned. The accomodations were beautiful, the people were very helpful and friendly and the locations were stunning. We had the entire trip the same guide, Stewart, what I really appreciated. Apart from being a very safe driver, Stewart also had eagle eyes and spotted every animal and he knew so much about them, we learned a lot. Moreover, he was very pleasant company with a good sense of humor. We had great weather, not too hot and not too cold and there were not a lot of other tourists. Lions, cheetahs etc. just walked so close to our car, it was amazing. It was an unforgettable holiday for me and my two children in which we saw the big five and many, many other animals. I would highly recommend to book a safari with Desiree and Stewart of Afroriginal Tours and Safaris to all of my friends.

Fantastic experience from start to finish.
5/5

We travelled through the Ngorongoro Conservation area including into the crater, plus a trip to Oldupai Gorge. The tour guide, Faye, was extremely knowledgeable about the geography, wildlife and flora & this was incredibly helpful to our enjoyment and understanding. He was also very patient and gave us plenty of time to sit quietly watching animals and birds and to take photographs. There was never a sense of being rushed before we were ready to leave. The whole trip was a very special and moving experience and one we'll never forget.

We're looking back on a wonderful holiday in Tanzania, organised by Afroriginal Tours
5/5

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!
