Negligent - failed to disclose massive road time.
Ngorongoro Crater & Zanzibar - South Nov 2024
I do not recommend this route nor tour company. No one would sanely want to go on this tour route if they knew how much driving time there is in a truck/ jeep. nomad did not properly disclose the amount of road time on this trip.
why this route is even sold is a mystery. it is just awful. have been roughing it in dozens of 3rd world zones and this was by for the only one I regret. waste of you money, your vacation time, and flight. root of the problem, is that this amount of driving is not disclosed properly on the agenda.
EVERY single day is between 8 and 13 hours of driving (outside of Zanzibar). and we had little traffic and no problems with the dirty vehicle. I will say again EVERY SINGLE DAY is driving (outside of Zanzibar) and very very rough driving.
no tour stops on the journey (outside of game parks and Zanzibar). the only stops are truck stops and on the game drive one a.m. potty stop, one p.m. and one 1/2 hour lunch. all else in a sweltering in a jeep/van. you are with a driver and a cook. no tour guide. we learning only one single factoid from the pair of very nice men, the entire trip.
disappointed is putting it lightly. and we tried to get flights out to get off tour in the middle. not really possible. ashamed of nomad.
please really study and ask questions before booking. map it out.

Omar was an amazing your guide showing us everything there is to see in Tanzania
Omar was a wonderful guide. He was incredibly helpful and showed us all the animals in the park. Omar was very knowledgeable and explained to us everything that the animals did in their behaviors. I would recommend Omar to any friend or family member that is looking to go on a safari adventure. 10 out of 10

Amazing Safari
It was undoubtedly one of the best experiences I could have had, the safari was spectacular and the views even more incredible! This, of course, with the help of an excellent guide by the name of Ezequiel!

Very helpful, lot of knowledge, and attention
The guide had a lot of knowledge about the animals, he was on time, and he was kind. The camp was very nice, the food was good, as well as the infrastructure.

My husband and I had planned our Tanzania trip with Glory who works with FiF tours and she is absolutely amazing. I told her what my budget was and she was able to work with the amount that I was willing to spend abs we were able to see everything in Tanzania!! She was super responsive to all of my questions, sent multiple schedule plans if I didn’t like anything on it and if we needed to be flexible she changed the schedule. She is really excellent with planning and meeting our needs. I was afraid that we weren’t gonna see anything because we went on the off season but Glory was saying don’t worry you will see everything and she was right. Our tour guy Johnson who drove the safari truck was amazing at spotting animals. It would be across the Savanah and I honestly don’t know how he saw that with his bare eyes and would confirm it with his binoculars and we would immediately drive over so we could see everything. He made the trip remarkable and something I would never forget. He was very knowledgeable in all the animal questions we asked him. He has such incredible knowledge of Tanzanias animals, history and tribes. We were happy our tour guide was Johnson. We also had Saif as our chief he was an amazing cook, I wouldn’t say he’s better than the hotel food. If we go back we are definitely going with FiF tours!

He will make your safari dreams come true.
An unbelievable, amazing and beautiful experience. The amounts of times I looked over at my wife and said “this is the best trip I have ever been on” is something I lost track of. If you are looking or debating between a place. Look no furtherrrrr seriously!!! I was here and saw all of the different types of tours. Ours was by far the most fulfilling. Johnson was our driver and he is an outstanding tour guide. He will give you the safari experience you are looking for. Saif was our chef and his food was perfectly tailored for us. Glory is the one who will get you the itinerary exactly for what you want and any changes or other accommodations are always welcome! Thank you to FIF tours for the best Tanzania trip again!
