Reviews
We were looked after in EVERY way on our wonderfully active journey.
From the moment we were met at the airport we received the best attention and service. Our driver and guide were friendly, knowledgable and experienced. Our safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti were filled with amazing animal sightings and most of the time without countless other vehicles in the proximity which made these sightings `up close and personnal' experiences. The accommodation was very good throughout the safari the one big standout though was ELEPHANT LODGE in the Tarangire National Park. The room/hut were made from old shipping containers, were clean and well kept. The food was lovely as were the staff AND it had a pond next to the outdoor dining area where the animals would come for a drink. 12 blissful days went way to fast. Then back to town. The day spent sight seeing and shopping in Arusha was really interesting. The tanzanite mine tour was also interesting BUT the rigmorol and time it took to actuually get in was extensive and dampened the interest a little. Then Zanzibar! Love that place! Once again we were looked after very well and the hotel - MIZINGANI SEAFRONT HOTEL - was so beautiful with a magnificent ocean view. Food was great, staff helpful and friendly, large room, comfortable and clean. Highly recommend it. The trip to Prison Island was fun and the giant tortoise beautiful, be warned you need to walk through the water to get on you boat so wear the correct footwear. Moved to Paje for a rest by the beach, our room as clean and had a lovely view of the beach and the pool outside our door. We visited Jozani Forest on an excursion and got very close to thr Red Colobus Monkeys that are inhabitans there - SOOOO cute! All of our excursions in Zanzibar were handled with little fuss but perfectly organised. Next stop Dar Es Salaam, a big bustling city by the seaside with some very interesting culture, views and markets. Our Journey was for 24 days and well worth what we paid for this Mid-range trip. Highly recommend this company. By the way I only gave 4 stars because I belive it doesn't matter how good you are there is always room for improvement I would have loved to have given 4.1/2

Great experience on the safari
We made a private tour - 10 days Safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. After then, 2 days relaxing in Zanzibar.
Our sarafi tour was excellent, we had Amin as a driver and guide, who is really awesome. He knows a lot about animals, history and birds and was able to spot every animal even while driving in huge distances. He mus have eagle-eyes! Above that, he is really a nice and funny guy, its also worth to hang around with him!
So 5-6 stars for the safari tour.
We were a little bit unhappy with zanzibar because Allano offered us Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco for 2 days. We paied for it for 2 days (650 USD) but one week before departure he tould us that this resort is booked and that he changed to another "which is the same". That other "rresort" turned out to be the zenobia, wrecked down, no pool, and above that without electricity - no ac or fan in the night in the hot season. Rated by 3 stars and 100 USD per night. We checked at booking come and find out, that Turaco has still 4 rooms avaiulable. A lot of discussions with Allonao, he changed, but his biggest mistake was that he tried to charge us the Turaco again for the second night again. I was really upset and asked whim why we paied Turaco months ago and now should pay for it again - and finally he ageed and takes the costs for the second night. So in the end: We paied 2 nights Turaco 4 stars and got 1 night Tureaco and 1 night Zenopia 3 stars. Allaon, that was not ok. Apart from that, he was rellay a nice guy and always friendly.
So 3 stars for the Zanzibar part.
Conclusion: 4 stars
Book with him if you do the safari. I can't be better.
Book yourself with booking come for Zanzibar. That will avoid a lot of argue to get what you paied.

Posted on Apr 1, 2025Thank you for your feedback Tom
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the hotel in Zanzibar. The hotel had informed us that no rooms were available during that period, and additionally, they required bookings of more than three nights, which was not in line with your itinerary.
We regret any frustration this caused and appreciate your understanding. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly value your support.
Thank
