Great Safari experience
Tanzania is an amazing country for a safari and ours did not disappoint. In the company of Emanuel, a very good and knowledgeable guide, we spent 8 days visiting the main National Parks in the northern part of the country.
Regional Tours offers a great value for mid-range safaris, picking top quality lodges and tented camps which are actually more on the luxury side. I was pleasantly surprised with all the aspects of the trip and definitely recommend Emanuel as a Safari guide.
I've given 5 stars because the service during the trip was excellent. Service pre-trip needs to improve as communication is difficult and I was more than once left with a response to simple questions. This didn't really affect the rest of the trip - a brilliant one!
Recommended.
Safari tour to manyara, Serengeti and ngorongoro
We had a very nice trip with Safari guide and driver Harun. We saw all the big animals and had the luck to stay in very nice accomodations with Kubu Kubu as best experience ever!

My safari of Dream
My safari with Regional Tours and Safaris in Tanzania was the best trip I have ever taken in my life, and I have traveled a lot. Maturaf and his team helped us every step of the way. We changed our itinerary some times and the team made that very easy for us to do, allowing us to customize the trip to our liking. Regional Tours & Safaris Tanzania was focused and professional from the moment we landed. They were waiting for us on time and made me feel extremely comfortable in an unfamiliar culture. Our safari was amazing. We saw everything we wanted to see and the driver guide emanuel allowed us to stay and watch certain groups of animals for however short or long of a time period we wanted. They made the long drives fun and taught us about the land, animals and language.Our accommodations far exceeded my expectations. We stayed in lodges that made us feel like we were part of the culture, rather than busy hotels.

Great safari experience - highly recommended
This was my first safari experience, and it was amazing! We did the five day safari through Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti. I'm really glad I went with these guys - Maturaf and Alex were incredibly responsive and easy to work with before and during the trip, and our driver, Amani, was great in spotting animals and giving us a perspective on the parks, Tanzanian culture/history, and sharing his knowledge of the animals with us! We had our own vehicle (that seats 6), even though it was only two of us, which gave us a ton of space in the vehicle and flexibility to stop and go within the parks as we pleased.

Friendly local operator, excellent itineraries
Regional (Maturaf) is based in Zanzibar and they use a trusted selection of guides and lodges for the safaris. We only used them to put together a safari package for us but they can also arrange travel and accommodation in Zanzibar. The safari itself was excellent - our guide Emmanuel was knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and took good care of us. Regional uses lodges from the Tanganyika Wilderness Camps group which were all beautiful venues, highly recommended! Communication is generally good but at times they are slow in responding, best way to get in touch seems to be via Skype. Maturaf was very helpful when we had a problem with picking up our ferry tickets in Zanzibar and went out of his way to deliver them to us in person, plus giving us a few useful local tips! Overall, you can rely on Regional for a fantastic safari experience.

One of the best trips ever!
Maturaf set up a fantastic itinerary for our family that included 2 relaxing days in Zanzibar after a several days on safari. He was quick to respond to my emails and was professional in his dealings. Our driver, Abdul, had a keen eye for spotting wildlife and was professional and fun to be with.

Fantastic adventure!
We booked a safari tour with Regional Tours & Safaris and we were absolutely happy with our experience. The camps and the lodge were great. The most important thing is that we had the best safari guide/driver, Didas, who has the eye of an eagle. He was able to drive and spot every animals. Within four days, we saw over 80 lions, 2 leopards, 6 cheetahs and three rhino! Not bad at all!

Great week with RT&S
We spent one week with Regional Tours & Safaris and everything was absolutely perfect. Organization, transports, accomodation etc. They prepared for us (me + my girlfriend) 4-days safari trip and than 3-day stay in Zanzibar. Only we have to manage was to have our camera's battery charged.

Wonderful time with Regional Tours
We did a six day safari with Regional Tours for our honeymoon. We were taken care of from the moment we got off the plane. The lodges, tent camps, and transportation were all excellent. Our driver, Didas, was so knowledgeable about trees, plants, animals, and Tanzania! He was a pleasure to spend time with, took care of us, made us feel safe and made sure we had an enjoyable time. Regional Tours also booked our flight and six days in Tanzania. Again, they were wonderful to work with and took care of us. I would recommend Didas and Regional Tours to anyone traveling to Tanzania!
