Tanzania with Zanzibar - best trip in my life
I had the great pleasure of taking a private, two and a half week trip to Tanzania, safari and stay in Zanzibar, organized by Africa Safari Classics. The safari included the National Parks: Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and additionally Olduvai Gorge. Accommodation at Venus Premier Hotel, Tarangire Osupuko Lodges, Migunga Tented Camp, Robin Safari Camp Serengeti was very good, close to the entrances or in the parks itself with delicious food and excellent, very friendly service. In particular, Migunga Tented Camp very close to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Kuhama Camp – both tents very clean, without any insects. What's more, from the lodge in Osupuko Camp at Tarangire National Park, I had the pleasure of observing a herd of waterbucks in the morning and at evening, and in the Migunga Tented Camp - Marabou storks. The internal As Salaam Air flight from Arusha Airport to Zanzibar and the transfer to the Nur Beach Resort Hotel went very smoothly.
Staying at the Nur Beach Resort right on Jambiani Beach on the east coast of Zanzibar was also a perfect choice. I had my own hut, the food and service were excellent, and thanks to the complete silence around the clock, I could relax. It was also difficult to find a better location on the whole island (during my stay in Zanzibar I was also on the beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa – very nice but relatively small and very crowded with tourists) – from the hotel I could go for many hours long walks along the beach, because in this part of the island individual beaches form a several-kilometer-long series of beaches – the longest in the whole of Zanzibar. I also had the opportunity to take tours of the island, which allowed me to explore Stone Town, Prison Island, Jozani Forest, spice farm, and Mangapwani Cave.
Maurice, Sales Director deserves special recognition for the excellent organization of the entire trip, including the choice of accommodation, professionalism, excellent contact, daily support and commitment to ensure that the program is done in the smallest detail and with safety. I am no less grateful to the guide and driver Ally, who constantly provided me with a great deal of knowledge about the country, the characteristics and customs of the wild animals observed. Thanks to his excellent commitment and perfect daily cooperation in spotting animals, I had the opportunity to see many animals, not only: elephants, lions, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, Grant and Thomson's gazelles, hippos, ... but also many for the first time in nature – with the leopard at the forefront in the Serengeti Park.
All this makes the trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar organized by Africa Safari Classics an unforgettable experience for me and without a doubt the best trip I have made so far in my life. I highly recommend Africa Safari Classics!

It was a great trip.
We had a great holiday. While visiting the wildlife parks, our guide Kindu accompanied us. He has a lot of knowledge and makes sure you can see as much wildlife as possible. The list of seeing wild animals was very long with us. Then we flew on to Mafia Island where we swam with whale sharks. Both the tour guides and the people at the locations where you stay will ensure that you have a nice, carefree holiday. Thank you for that. Lian

A tour to remember
The Serengeti African Tour has definitely exceeded our expectations!! So well organised from quoting stage (by email) to planning phase and all throughout the 3 day Safari. Comfortable jeep, water and beer always available, knowledgable driver, great chef and food. They did their utmost to provide us with a wonderful experience and to see as much animals as possible...and we did !!! It was amazing. Would 1000000% recommend.

Sian was awesome, very helpful, organised and efficient. We loved everything about our safari.
We absolutely loved our safari which was organised by Off2Africa. We felt looked after from the very first email we sent. Sian organised our tour and it was awesome. We felt safe, spoilt and part of the family especially at Muchenje Lodge and Kala Camp. The people were beautiful in Botswana. We stayed at Victoria Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) and were so grateful that Sian suggested this place as it had a waterhole right in front of the bar/restaurant where wild animals came in to drink. What a way to start our African adventure. However, our absolute favourite for seeing the animals was Chobe river front. What an abundance of animals, hundreds of elephants and buffaloes and so much more. Kala camp was completely different being in the Okavango delta and sleeping in glam tents. The tents were spotlessly clean and staff were so friendly. Our favourite was sitting around the campfire at night with the staff. We are especially grateful to the people of Botswana, on behalf of the world we thank you for your conservation efforts.

Incredible, Mr Jack our guide was super star. He knows Masai Mara like his home
We had an incredible experience with Jungle Roam Safari, thanks to our exceptional guide, Jack. His extensive experience and keen eye for wildlife made our safari truly unforgettable. Jack's passion and enthusiasm were evident in every moment, and his insightful commentary added immense value to our journey. His professionalism and attentiveness ensured we felt safe and well-cared for throughout. If you're looking for a top-notch safari adventure, Jungle Roam Safari with Jack as your guide is highly recommended!

Didn't get what we payed for
Travelling with a friend we booked a 5N/4D safari, with the last day being a private day to Lake Natron. The guides was really good and knowledgable and we saw all the animals we hoped for and more!
So for the Lake Natron visit we spesifically booked a visit to a Masai Boma. Firstly, Lake Natron was a dissaponitment in itself and was nothing like the pictures (pink lake) and looked just like any other water. We saw a lot more flamingos in the other days on safari than here, where there was suppose to be so many. I know that you can't guarantee for wild life but it just felt like this was not a good time of year to go or maybe it was not the right spot? And finally we did not go the Masai Boma as the guide was not informed about this. We told him in the morning, but he later told us that he din't understand as he was not informed about this. We have complained to the office afterwards and they just blame the guide for this and have not responded to my follow up questions and comments. My brand new suitcase (USD0165 )was also broken during the safari and caused a lot of hassle for me for the rest of my trip. This is also ignored.

They do their job with expertise and knowledge. They arranged a new pick-up due to flight delay
We had the best driver ever met! Richard has Made out Safari funny, fullfilled of adventure and discoveries!
He never got tired and never rushed to finish , always seeking for new animals or places where to find them.
The jeep was an incredible vehicle , spaceful and strong. We helped several vehicles getting out of the mud, thanks to Richard’s driving skills.
The agency gave us an precious help at the end of the safari to reach our bus in Nairobi’s huge mess!

Amazing experience
For sure the most exciting experience in my life, lead by our guide Johnson and Paul, that shared with us all their wide knowledge about animals and historical notions of the national parks we visited (Tarangire, serengeti, lake manyara, ngorongoro). Thanks to them we were able to see all the big five, and also scenes that will be in my heart and in my memory for long time. Particularly mention to John, an authentic person of Tanzania, a Masai with the smile always print on his face that was a real brother during the tour (Asante sana Kaka Johnson!). Kanje Grand Tours higly recommended for who wants to enjoy a real safari tour and not only a touristic one.
