🦁 4 Out of the Big Five — A Safari Win with Blue Monkey Tours 🦓
What an unforgettable day! Our group safari with Blue Monkey Tours was a dream from start to finish. We managed to see four out of the Big Five, and it wasn’t by chance—our drivers and guides went above and beyond to make it happen. You could feel their dedication, experience, and genuine excitement every step of the way.
The game drive was thrilling. From the wide savannahs to the hidden corners of the park, we caught incredible sightings—giraffes, elephants, buffalos, and more. And the boat tour? Next-level. We had a conservation scientist as our guide, which added so much depth and meaning to the experience. It wasn’t just sightseeing—it was learning, connecting, and being humbled by nature.
Lunch was also a standout: beautifully set up, delicious, and thoughtfully planned. Every logistical detail was seamless, allowing us to simply enjoy the day and be present in the moment.
If you’re in Rwanda and looking for a safari that combines wild beauty with care, professionalism, and heart, look no further. Blue Monkey nailed it.
10/10. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Perfect experience :)) Greatful
We are two young women and had a 4 days Safari Trip from Arusha. Super reliable tour operator! The guide Godson has 8 years experience and just started his own operation hence why not a lot of reviews. He was informed, patient, joyful, helpful and organized. He knew his way around the parks and always had the best spot for us to take the best pictures; we were always the closest to the animals compared to the other cars. I highly recommend!! We were scared to book at first but we talked multiple times on WhatsApp and everything was safe

Very professional.
Absolutely Amazing Experience with the Best Guide!
I went on this safari in Tanzania with a friend, and we both agree it was the best trip we’ve ever taken. Planning a safari can feel overwhelming, especially with so many tour companies to choose from. We ended up going with Taratibu Adventures based on a friend’s recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made.
We visited three incredible locations: Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire. Each destination offered breathtaking landscapes and unique wildlife experiences. Our guide, Godson, was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. His expertise helped us spot so many animals we might have otherwise missed he truly elevated the entire trip. We even saw The big 5.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the accommodations exceeded all our expectations. Everything was thoughtfully arranged and comfortable.
I would 100% recommend Taratibu Adventures to anyone considering a safari you won’t regret it!

EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF
we have loved how organizedthe tour was, we did not have to check anything and all the guides knew what was our plan (you will probably do different tours with different group of people). even if we had many problems with our flights the company helped us with all we could hve had problems.

The best ever will never forget it
I booked a seven-day safari trip with Humphrey. At first, I was hesitant and had some concerns, but from the moment we arrived at the airport, I was amazed by the level of organization and care shown by Humphrey and his team.
I don’t usually write reviews, but this time I felt compelled to do so—because this wasn’t just an ordinary safari trip; it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience in every detail.
From the start, Humphrey’s attention, assistance, and incredibly detailed advice were impressive. Then came the highlight of our trip—our amazing guide Godwin, with whom we spent six unforgettable days. My phone and camera memories were filled with stunning shots and breathtaking moments. The information he shared about nature and wildlife was fascinating. His calm demeanor and attentiveness to our safety were exceptional.
Khalid was also with us during the trip, preparing delicious meals every day. The food was simply wonderful. On our final day, when we visited the Materuni Waterfalls, we were accompanied by Hudhaifa, whose energy and liveliness made the day even more joyful—it was filled with incredible moments.
In the end, I must say I will never forget the moment we saw a group of leopards, a herd of elephants, or how each national park had its own unique natural charm. Even the animals that visited our camp in Ngorongoro were part of this unforgettable adventure.
Thank you to everyone for the memories you’ve etched into our hearts. I’m sure they’ll stay with us for a very long time.

A patient, reliable, caring guide.
we are a family of 6 who toured the Amboseli National Park. We had a fantastic experience, saw lots of animals. The service was great, the lodge was high above our expectations and yet still within our budget. This is our second time touring with this team, and it surely won’t be our last. I highly recommend Solo Safari to any keen adventurer looking for safe, reliable travel.

Tarangire, Ngorongo and Lake Manyara
Halima from Grade One Tours accompanied us great from the start. all wishes were fulfilled immediately. we had a very good exchange. halima wants to give her guests an unforgettable experience, which she has achieved. We had a wonderful 3 day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongo Crater and Lake Manyara. The overnight stay at the Karatu Tendet Lodge was also really nice, as was the delicious packed lunch. The drivers Ally and Salim did everything so that we could discover all the animals and were able to tell us a lot about the animal world. They are very well trained guides. We would book with Grade One Tours again at any time. it was simply unforgettable and indescribable. Thank you Halima, for all your efforts to make this trip something unforgettable for us. you did exactly that! Our kids were also very enthusiastic. a great price-performance ratio. Thank you very much!!

It was an incredibly wonderful experience
Everything went really well.
From the flights and the pick-up at the airport to the accommodation between the safaris. We were on the road for 3 days and were able to gather lots of unforgettable impressions. All 3 national parks were great.
Our driver and his jeep were also very competent. We had a packed lunch every day on the way and water from the fridge in the car was also included! I give it a grade 1
highly recommended

Excellent safari and accomodations
Our trip was really amazing. The fact that Akondo organized everything initially according to our time and budget was really an asset. On the first day communication was not so good because the tour programme said we had breakfast included on that day and it wasn't, and so we tried to explain them that they should exclude that from the programme, which I hope they do to get it clear. But other than that, Boris was available to answer all our questions and communication any time,since the first moment . The hotels and lodge they work with have really good quality. We did 3-day safari with our guide Richard that revealed a lot of knowledge about the national parks, tha masaaai, and biodiversity on the region. He was also very gentle, respectful, sensitive and funny, and tried to provide the best experience to us every minute
