Amazing
Our trip was absolutely wonderful! I spent nearly two weeks in Tanzania 🇹🇿, including a few relaxing days in Zanzibar before heading off on safari.
The organization was excellent from start to finish. Transportation and the itinerary were managed perfectly, with private transfers arranged for all our travels around the island. Everything was handled with punctuality and efficiency.
The hotels selected were beautiful and chosen with great taste, and the activities offered were outstanding. We especially enjoyed the Safari Blue excursion.
We then spent several days on safari in the Serengeti, Tarangire, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The accommodations were all superb, offering breathtaking views. In some lodges, it was even possible to observe wildlife directly from the property. Each accommodation had its own unique character and immersed us completely in the magical safari atmosphere.
The landscapes, wildlife, and natural environment were simply incredible. As for the safari experience itself, our guide and driver was exceptional: knowledgeable, professional, and always eager to share fascinating information about the animals we encountered and their habitat.
In short, this was an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend this agency, which pays close attention to every detail and carefully selects accommodations, activities, and services to create a truly unique and memorable travel experience.

perfection
We were looking for a dream week in Tanzania. With Arusha Trips, we had direct personal contact and two days later a beautiful, organized trip tailored to our personal wishes. Just the two of us, with a private guide/driver, overnight stays at the most beautiful locations, meals, and airport transfer. Everything exceeded our expectations. Mechack Yamat, our guide, showed us all the beautiful places with his extensive experience. A wonderful person with great stories. We also received occasional updates from the local organization to check if everything was going well. We experienced something unforgettable... thanks Arusha Trips!!

Professional in planning and execution
Arusha Trips was very professional. I did a self-drive safari once in Kenya, but for this adventure we opted to go with a tour organiser. Although we were quite close to the actual travel date, they managed to book a perfect tour. Even when we had to reschedule the tour just 10 days before the start due to an injury, they were super quick to react, even when the country was experiencing nationwide internet shutdowns! I would have never thought that they would be able to reschedule on such short notice and for a low price.
We went on a long 8-day safari up to Lake Natron, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, followed by 4 days in Zanzibar. The driver Ali was professional, funny and very knowledgeable. You will learn so much about the animals but also the country and its people.
I would always recommend doing a long safari to see many animals, albeit next time I would skip Lake Natron and opt for more days in Serengeti. This way you skip some of the longest and most strenuous car rides (the roads up there are something else 😉).
The transit to Zanzibar was flawless. Only a late cancellation by the airline on the last day led to some delay — no fault of Arusha Trips, though. My partner and I can wholeheartedly recommend Arusha Trips for custom-made safaris

A super professional and personal organization that takes care of everything down to the last detail!
We booked our safari through Arusha Trips and it was truly one of the coolest trips we have ever taken. It felt right from the very first contact. They respond quickly, are proactive, and put together a trip that really suits you instead of a standard package.
Once in Tanzania, everything was perfectly arranged. Our guide was truly amazing: super relaxed, very knowledgeable, and you can tell he does everything he can to show you as much as possible. We ended up seeing an incredible number of animals, including the Big Five, and sometimes you were so close to them that it felt almost unreal.
The accommodations were also better than expected. Beautiful lodges, good food, and occasionally truly unique spots right in the middle of nature. Everything just ran smoothly; you don't have to think about anything and can fully enjoy the experience.
What I particularly liked is that it feels very personal. You don't get the feeling that you are "just another tourist," but that they are really doing their best to make your trip special.
I would recommend it without a doubt if you want to go on a safari in Tanzania. 👍

Responsive and Thorough
I organized a Tanzanian safari through Arusha Trips. Both Marjolein, Lex, and Terry were very responsive to emails and organized the Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar excursions, lodging, and transportation within our budget. They gave us lodging options with pictures and descriptions of each excursion for us to choose from. They also provided thorough information packages to ensure we had all the information we needed for travel. Communication with Arusha Trips was also very responsive during the trip itself which added a sense of reliability to the experience when traveling in a foreign country.
By far the best part of our trip was Titho, our safari guide. At the start of our journey, he set the bar for both professionalism and hospitality. Immediately, we knew we were in good hands and we had so much fun! Titho also helped us learn some Swahili. We would practice small conversations during the drive and Titho would test us when we least expected it. We saw up close monkeys, baboons, giraffes, elephants, and lions. If you are planning a trip to Tanzania - ask for Titho! You will be so glad you did.
Both the food and service at each location were above expectations! Also, the national parks did not disappoint!!! We had some amazing animal experiences that we will never foraet. Hiahlv recommend Arusha Trips!

5 stars+++ arusha trips
5 stars+++! What an amazing trip Lex from Arusha Trips put together for us. It couldn't have been better. Top-notch! The locations were superb, from tents to luxury lodges. First, four days in the Serengeti with our guide Leonce. Lex had specifically requested driver Leonce for us because we were traveling with our two sons who are students. We clicked immediately, and with it, the great atmosphere. Leonce took us to special spots for lunch right in the middle of nature. He made sure we saw a yacht and, among other things, six leopards. Thanks Leonce! You're a star! Afterwards, on Lex's recommendation, we traveled to Mafia Island to go diving. Indescribably beautiful. A bullseye. We also swam with 15-meter-long whale sharks. Lex, thank you for this unforgettable family trip; you truly create a tailor-made journey. I recommend your travel agency to all my friends and family. And by the way, to you who are reading my review as well.

Excellent. Perfect advices, good listeners and they combine that in a perfect trip and holiday.
From the first moment I felt that no question was too much. Arusha travel understands that of course you want the best value for your money and that you want the best trip ever. And they arrange that!! All questions can be asked, all kind of different routes can be discussed, all type of hotels can be chosen. They’re great! Give them a call and start your journey with Arusha.

They truly deliver a tailor-made trip of quality.
We had a wonderful trip through mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. Thanks to Arusha Trips, who tailored the trip to our wishes. The best part of our trip was the safari with our knowledgeable guide (Meshack), with whom we saw the Big Five. During the safari, he was very helpful and listened to our wishes; the communication was very pleasant, and we had some very nice days together.

Trip of a lifetime!
We had the best time with Arusha Trips and can’t recommend them highly enough. Everything was perfectly arranged in advance, making the trip smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Our guide, Joseph, was truly outstanding. He was knowledgeable, warm, and completely dedicated to making our experience unforgettable.
He constantly went out of his way to give us more than we expected, often finishing late just so we could take a detour or catch one last glimpse of wildlife. His passion and energy never wavered, and thanks to him we saw things we would have never spotted on our own.
The food was also excellent. It was hot, hearty lunches served fresh every day, always filling and delicious. We were amazed by how well-fed and cared for we felt, even out in the bush!
If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and professional company with that personal touch, Arusha Trips is it. We came away with incredible memories, and Joseph was a big part of what made it so special. Thank you!

A fantastic safari in Tanzania with Arusha Trips
Last year My daughter an I went on a fantastic Tanzania safari trip with Arusha Trips.
Starting with the search for an organization until we arrived back home Arusha Trips has been a pleasure to be in contact and travel with. They have listened very well to our wishes and any request was well and quickly answered.
We went on an 8 day trip which included 5 full safari days. In these 5 days we saw a whole lot off animals and th big five.
We had a great driver guide, called Dismass, who was a big part of our great experience. With his knowledge of the wildlife, plaats and the Country he made every safari day special. And he made sure that we had great views and were really close to the animals.
And off course the 'pole pole' vibe that he carried out was special and is something we really want to keep at home.
Next to the safaridays was our visit to Mto wa mbu and the primary school really worth our while.
So if you are planning to go to Tanzania check out Arusha Trips and don't forget to ask for Dismass.
