Amazing Travel Experience!
I had a fantastic encounter with Mamu Travels! The service was excellent from the minute I made my travel arrangements. Mariam was friendly, knowledgeable regarding Mombasa and nearby attractions, and eager to assist whenever needed. Everything went according to plan, including hotel reservations and transportation.
Booking again soon!!!

Impeccable journey with Rochar Africa Expedition!
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Rochar Africa Expedition. From the very beginning, Isabella's prompt and efficient communication made planning our trip a breeze. She was attentive to our needs and ensured everything was perfectly arranged. Our guide, Charles, was nothing short of fantastic. His extensive knowledge and experience brought our East African adventure to life, as he skillfully led us to view many unique animals in their natural habitats. Charles's passion for wildlife and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience truly set this expedition apart. The combination of excellent service, insightful guidance, and the thrill of encountering diverse wildlife made our journey exceptional. I highly recommend Rochar Africa Expedition for anyone looking to explore the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of East Africa. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Trip of a lifetime!
Emmanuel and Dominique were amazing drivers/tour guides. They went above and beyond to find the big 5 animals and had the patience to wait for all our pictures. His driving was really good, we always felt safe and we didn’t have any hiccups.
We did 5 nights and all the hotels were very comfortable and the food was always good. Our favorite was Kontiki Lodge - we were quite impressed with the quality and privacy of the big tents (it even had a living room). Would highly recommend this trip to all my friends.

Amazing!
We are three couples who have extensively traveled the previous six years around the world usually using upscale travel services. Tanzania was a special destination for us and we didn't want to take any chances, so after a lot of research we chose Meijo Safaris to help us arrange a 6-day private luxury safari.
One word would perfectly describe our experience: AMAZING! The fascinating wildlife and breathtaking scenery found in the Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorogoro parks, was complemented with the expertise and kindness of our guide Michael who deliver an outstanding service…he knew every corner of the parks allowing us to have close encounters with every animal we had anticipated seeing. The lodging the agency booked for us was top notch. This positive review needs to be extended also to Marcelina who was incredibly responsive to all of our inquiries, worries, and requests, even before we left for Tanzania. Meijo exceeded all of our expectations, so if you enjoy traveling in style and comfort, choose this travel agency without hesitation—you won't regret it.

Join the best team to take you on a dream safari to Tanzania
First of all Tanzania Explorer with Sondre and team is just the best! Are you dreaming of Tanzania's endless savannas and beautiful beaches? Tanzania Explorer will make sure your dream comes true. With their enormous knowledge of Tanzania and strong customer focus they tailor the journey exactly to your choice, need and budget.
I met Sondre at the Travel Fair in Oslo in January 2023 and challenged him on where to go on safari in January/February and his answer was Tanzania and Ndutu, south Serengeti. The reason being that this is the time the huge migration of wildebeest and zebras arrives in Ndutu giving birth to their young. We added in the Ngorongoro Crater, for me a longtime dream to visit and we ended our journey with a relaxing week in Zanzibar. Discussing with Sondre I got so enthusiastic about visiting Tanzania again (this was my fourth time) that I invited four friends along. I believe every safari lover should experience the great savannas of East Africa at least once.
Our journey started at the Explorer Villa in Dar-es-Salaam. It is absolutely wonderful to spend some days relaxing and getting the long travel out of your body before going on safari. When in Dar-es-Salaam you need to visit the Robins Cruise island, Mbudya. You can hardly find a whiter beach, bluer water and better freshly grilled lobsters. At the Villa you will meet Veronica, Augostino, Annah, with her famous samosas, and the rest of the team that make the stay so special. Make sure you visit their recycling station – these guys do an incredible job in cleaning the beach for plastic.
Then the real fun begins – safari! We flew to Kilimanjaro where we met up with our guide, Joshua. You cannot find any better guide! His knowledge of the bush, his great personality and safe driving made him a joy to be around.
A highlight of our safari was driving down to the crater just as the sun was rising and the fog carpet lifting revealing the most beautiful male lion –I still get goosebumps thinking about this sight. And then, Ndutu, thousands and thousands of wildebeest and zebras with the lions, cheetahs and hyenas following. It was just amazing! I have never seen so many animals.
All the camps and lodges were excellent and a good mix of simple bush camps where we got really close to nature and more comfortable lodges with swimming pools where it was great to relax. Sondre goes out of his way to find what is right for you and spends a lot of time understanding your needs.
We finalized our trip to Tanzania at Zanzibar with it´s endless beaches and dramatic and diverse history. I fell in love with Zanzibar! We rented a villa, Uzuri Villa, so special to have our own place right on the beach. In Stone Town we stayed at the eccentric Emerson Spice. If you visit Stone Town make sure to eat on the rooftop restaurant with innovative swahili food and beautiful sunset.
Our visit to Tanzania was just all we could wish for and I can hardly wait to go back. I am already discussing with Sondre my next visit and I recommend you to do the same!
I wish the whole Tanzania Explorer team all the best – I will be back!

The agent to book a resort for guests
Overall, a 3-star experience with a 5-star cost.
• The toilet in the room doesn’t flush well.
• The bathroom light is white, which ruins the vibe. It should be yellow.
• One waiter doesn’t smile while serving. He also spilled red wine on the table without noticing it himself and couldn’t remember the dishes for a group of four. He’s not familiar with the drink list at all. A young waiter on a working holiday, who’s only been here for a week, knows it better than him.
• On a windy day, the waiters kept forgetting to close the door during dinner, even though two groups reminded them multiple times. This was awful and inconsiderate.
• The guide skipped the coffee on the morning safari without explanation. His hospitality changes when there are more white guests on the safari car, raising concerns about racism. Such differentiated treatment is completely unacceptable.
• The suggested tip is 450 ZAR for the guide and 450 ZAR for the villa staff per day, which guests are informed about upon arrival. This doesn’t feel right and isn’t a good practice for a luxury package. While tipping culture exists in the U.S. where employers often don’t pay a good base wage, when we’ve already spent tens of thousands of ZAR on a luxury package, the staff and guide should be paid well and shouldn’t expect tips.
It’s quite disappointing to find so many flaws every day when you’ve booked a luxury package.
