Look no further for a Tanzania safari tour company
Tanzania/Uganda/Zanzibar September 2-18, 2025
We were referred to Chasing Dreams Safaris Ltd. by Kellie, at Adventurelust Travel, to arrange our Safari Tour in Tanzania and Uganda. Chasing Dreams is a small company; we were well looked after and made a priority.
The team consists primarily of Heather, who does all the ground work prior to the trip and Heaven, who is the safari guide.
There were three of us on this trip. Heather was exceptional in staying within our budget, while at the same time offering us luxurious accommodations. She gave us many options from which to choose and helped us narrow down the many choices. She was extremely patient with the voluminous number of inquiries we made throughout the course of planning, which was over a year. She arranged all the intercontinental flights, booking of accommodations, ground transfers and made great suggestions for tours outside the safari. She recommended a must do, which was a hot air ballon ride and bush breakfast. It was amazing and gave such a different perspective of how vast the Serengeti is.
From beginning to end, everything went very smoothly. We were our own group and our tour was personalized and tailored to our requests and interests. She checked in throughout the trip to ensure everything was going according to plan.
Heaven greeted us at the Kiliminjaro Airport with a warm smile and promised we would enjoy every minute of our time there. He was not wrong. Heaven is professional and knowledgeable but also likes to have fun and we laughed… a lot. He was ready easily 15 minutes before our agreed pick-up times. It didn’t take him long to figure out who we were as people and what would be relevant to us. He didn’t spend a lot of time on things that did not interest us but he would still educate us and let us take a quick picture. In just four days, he was able to scout out “The Big 5”, which we all wanted to see. He was flexible to last minute changes, responsive to our questions (and there were a lot) and patient enough to let us sit as long as we wanted while keeping us on schedule. The lunches in the parks were not the typical boxed lunches we saw with other tour companies. We were treated to full meals of rice, meats, salads, sweets, tea, coffee and various alcoholic beverages. The cooler was well stocked with water and even a little cake for me on my birthday.
When a wallet was left behind at one of the lodges, we were well on our way to our next destination. Heaven immediately stopped and made numerous calls to have the wallet delivered to us, on the road, so we could stick to our agenda.
We called him the Lion Whisperer as lions seemed to be falling out of the sky. He just knew where to look and did what he could to make sure we saw everything on our long and sometimes impossible list. We all had a different “moment we’ll never forget” but Heaven’s was that we were happy and excited about everything we saw. We feel like we made a lifelong friend in Heaven.
When the safari was done, my sister and I went on to Zanzibar and her husband went to Uganda to do a golden monkey trek and gorilla habituation trek. All the flights, ground transfers and accommodations were arranged by Heather for both of these trips. Once again, the accommodations were first class and my brother-in-law said the habituation trek was the highlight of his trip.
If you find yourself looking for a tour company for Tanzania, use Chasing Dreams Safaris Ltd. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. If we were fortunate enough to plan a return trip, Chasing Dreams would be our first call.

Experience of a lifetime!
Gordy our tour guide was superb! He was attentive and professional at all times. He made sure that we were able to see everything and then some. He was also quite flexible which is important in the Serengeti. We were pleased with everything from the service to the value. We always felt safe and now we have a connection to another part of the world. We have already recommended Kojuu to others!

Kenya Safari
In July, I went on an African Safari to the Masai Mara in Kenya and we used this agency under the care of Kelvin and he was absolutely phenomenal and amazing . It was a group of nine of us off from Miami Florida and must say that we laughed and had such an amazing time with Kelvin and we felt safe. Calvin went out of his way to search specifically for animals. We wanted to see he’s very knowledgeable and very familiar with the Masai Park. I highly recommend him if you’re looking to do a Safari in this area.!

Trip of a lifetime
My boyfriend and I had the most amazing experience with spirit of Kenya. From months of planning with Filipa via email, he went the extra mile to ensure all our questions were answered and the trip planned perfectly. We did the Nairobi city tour, 4 day safari in Maasai Mara and 2 days relaxing on the beach in Mombasa. We are cat lovers and our tour guide George found every single one, even hunting down a rhino which is rare to find on the Mara. I would suggest including a visit to either lake Nakuru or Nairobi national park if you want to guarantee seeing rhino as that took a bit of hunting, but it was such a fun part of the adventure. relaxing at Neptune beach resort in Mombasa was a perfect reset after long days at the safari. Everyone in Kenya was so friendly, make sure you include the visit to a masaai village and giraffe centre in Nairobi as those were definite highlights!!

Our safari experience in Kenya was truly unforgettable thanks to Kelvin. He was an amazing driver and guide — extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind.
