Wonderful three days in the parks, everything according to the agreement and plan.
We also used the AAA Express service during our second visit to Tanzania. In 2017, together with our guide Joseph, we conquered both Kili and Meru. This year it was all about having fun on Safari. our driver Peter was great and we really enjoyed Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro parks. Safari is always about luck, weather and driver skill. It was the second experience with Ngorongoro and Manyara parks and we could compare. In Ngorongoro in particular, we were very lucky and the number of animals was almost double the previous visit. Unfortunately, it was the other way around in Manyara. I wish all travelers to be a "happy group" as the guides call those who see most of the big five and many other animals. We also enjoyed the accommodation at Eilennss Tree Inn, which Mr. Jalala recommended to us, the hotel was very nice and the food was good.

Great experience for Safari, Meru and Kilimanjaro
We had a 15-day itinerary organized very well by Mr. Jalala, who was very kind to greet us at our hotel in Arusha, the day of arrival.
We started with a 3-day Safari trip in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Plenty of animals to see with the help of Gabriel, our guide, who was very kind and helpful. The accommodation for the 2 nights at Farm of Deams Lodge in Karatu, was also excellent.
We chose a 4-day climb to Mt. Meru followed by a 7-day Machame route for Kilimanjaro.
Joseph, together with the entire team, did a very good job in taking us to achieve our goal.
Good communication, flexibility to our needs, great food on the mountain, we can only thank the whole team for a great experience.
I cannot recommend AAA Express Adventure highly enough for future trips in Tanzania!

Totally amazing life changing experience in Tanzania National Parks.
From the moment we arrived in Tanzania we were looked after by the most wonderful, kind, friendly people. The organization skills of Jalala gave us a hand-picked tour just for us. Our hotel was all we needed, clean, comfortable and friendly. Our campsites went from basic to the most luxurious campsite we have ever been to. Our entire safari experience from a day trip to 10 days on the road were just amazing. Everyone was friendly, informative, and just superb. We took all the advice from the tour guides and trust us the advice was perfect for our expectations. We met so many wonderful people and saw more amazing things then we ever imagined, nothing was too much bother.
Thank you to all of our guides, Michael and our safari guide in Arusha National Park (walking with giraffes).
Thank you to Leiyo our wonderful Maasi guide who gave us a wonderful experience.
Special thanks go to Emily and Senga with whom we spent 10 fantastic days on the road with us. Every day having wonderful meals cooked by Senga and served with a smile and much laughter. I don’t know how he managed to cook up such amazing meals as we travelled. Special thanks go to Emily our tour guide who was just amazing and without whom we never would have seen such amazing things and laughed so much, there just aren’t enough words to describe this truly amazing and incredible trip.
We will never forget this trip to Tanzania, we met as strangers and parted as friends.
We highly recommend your company to everyone and thank you all so much once again.

Everything went simply excellent from start to finish
I was thrilled from the start with the pleasant communication and flexibility in planning the trip. We could bring in our ideas for the trip and Jalala then implemented them for us (especially the Kolo Paintings in Kondoa!! quite extraordinary!!). Peter was a wonderful guide, he was very experienced and knew exactly when, where and which animals were best to see and always impressed us with his friendly manner and sense of good humour. We enjoyed the trip with AAA Express Adventure from beginning to end, every moment was a beautiful experience in this beautiful country with its open-hearted people!!

Fabulous communication, attention to detail and customer care. Overall amazing experience!
We originally booked this safari for summer 2020, having done a lot of research and having been impressed with reviews for AAA Express Adventures. We began online discussions to arrange our package and were impressed from the start with Jalala's communication and helpfulness. When covid hit, we were forced to put our plans on hold, but kept in touch with Jalala and then rebooked for summer 2023. He honoured our original deposit and we progressed with our plans, combining the safari with 10 days holidaying in Zanzibar. We were greeted at Arusha airport by our guide, Peter, and were impressed with his knowledge, friendliness and experience from the very start. The four full days of safari were incredible, and Peter negotiated the difficult roads with skill, making sure we were well looked after and lined up with the best spots to take amazing photos. We opted for the mid-range package which was incredible value for money. The accommodation provided was varied and high quality, and the food was amazing. During the safari, we tweaked our itinerary to build in a Massai Village visit, and this was an experience we are glad we didn't miss. Overall, we would wholeheartedly recommend AAA Express Adventures as a high quality safari provider, and would do it all over again happily!

Good operator with experienced guides
We had a great time with Luther, who has the best eye to spot animals from any distance! He was also really good at solving car issues that happen on the dirt roads. Our tents were really comfortable and the food was nice!

Exceptional company giving us much much more than we ever hoped for
Seeing all the animals close up including Cheotah, Leopard and Rhino. Even stood next to Giraffes and saw one family of 16 lions with their cubs relaxing under the trees. No request too small, both manager and driver provided the best experience possible for us. The accommodation met all our needs, comfortable, clean and welcoming. The drivers knowledge of when and where to go made all this possible.
The beauty of a small company giving personal care and attention. The only issue was there was too much good food to eat. We split our 10 day safari up with a one day walk up a 3000 metre live volcano (Mt Ol Donyo Lengai) to see sunrise and superb views which included Kilimanjaro. The jeep was equiped with charging points for cameras, phones etc which we used having taken so many pictures of the prolific wildlife in the Parks we visited. Can't rate this company highly enough

Very Knowledgeable, attentive and polite.
We used this company for our 5 day safari through Lake Myanara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire and we were so happy we did. Our guide, Gabriel, was extremely knowledgeable and answered every single question we asked. He found every animal, including 4 cheetahs and 2 leopards in the trees. He was polite and very helpful. All the food and accommodation selected was excellent and we were always comfortable with plenty of water available. Before arriving, Jalala was always on hand to answer any questions very quickly. Place your trust in Jalala and you will have the best experience of your life. 5 stars for a perfect trip.

Reliable, well organized and taking our wishes into account
We (family with two adult children) made a private camping safari with AAA Express Adventure. It was our first time in africa and our first safari: It was a great experience!
The communication with Jalala, the owner of the company, was very good and he considered all our wishes (not only game drives, also walking and canoing; also some cultural insights). We made a 7-day safari, starting with the Arusha NP including a walking safari with an armed ranger and also a canoing tour at the momella lake. We stayed inside the Arusha NP at the public campsite, in the middle of the jungle, all alone, no other campers were here! An incomparable feeling! At the third day we visited Lake Manyara NP, the next day Norongoro Crater and afterwards we made a walk at the crater rim with an ranger. After this we drove to Lake Eyasi and visited the Hadzabe tribe (we went hunting with them ) and also a traditional blacksmith, also very impressive. The next day we visited Tarangire NP and stayed the night at the public campsite inside the park and after a last game drive we went back to Arusha.
Our driver, Peter, was very pleasant and showed us a lot of animals. Sanga cooked delicious meals. Everything was very good.
Overall it was no problem to start the tour not in Arusha, because we spent the nights before in a camp about 1,5 h outside Arusha, also they brought us after the safari to the next station we've booked (a little bit outside of Arusha). And Jalala organized the bus tickets for us to travel to Tanga.
The price was absolutely reasonable.
Thanks a lot to Jalala, Peter and Sanga!
