Tanzania highly recommended specialist
Asanterra agency in Dar es Salaam was a valuable and highly efficient partner in organising my trip to southern Tanzania. Anne's perfect knowledge of the camps and her advice about my visit to Nyerere/Selous and Ruaha parks enabled me to organise an ideal trip in the best possible conditions. She recommended and booked the camps for me and arranged all transport, including domestic flights between the parks. A truly ideal organisation.
Southern Tanzania still offers best conditions for safaris away from the crowds. Asanterra is highly recommended as a specialist for these destinations.

It was an amazing safari and I would absolutely do everything the exact same way.
We had the greatest experience. The people at the lodge were so kind and our rangers for the safari were amazing. They tried to show us everything we wanted to see and explained a lot of interesting things about the wildlife. The organization was also great and we had no issues. I want to return someday.

It was the adventure of a lifetime! 🦁🦏🐆
We booked a private luxury safari and it was worth every single cent! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide Godliving was absolutely amazing – friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about nature and culture.
He tailored the entire experience to our wishes, making every moment unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and so many other animals up close – an experience we will never forget!
The lodges were exceptional – beautifully designed, comfortable, and located right in the heart of nature. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive; we were greeted with snacks and drinks and felt taken care of every step of the way.
Before the trip, Jonathan and Noeline helped us plan our route and was always available for questions.
Tip: Bring cash and exchange it locally – it makes things so much easier and avoids unnecessary issues!
We would absolutely book again without hesitation. It was the adventure of a lifetime! 🦁🦏🐆

Pinch Me! Amazing!
We adored our experience! The safari exceeded our expectations! Excellent guides, well-paced days, clean and comfortable lodges, with responsive tour operators. Initially we were somewhat concerned about such a large sum of money with so many unknowns, but everything worked out beautifully! Very happy! And oh yeah... We saw all the animals!

From start to finish, the Safari was well organized.
The Safari, from start to finish was well organized, and orchestrated as described in our travel book. This included airport pick up, transfers, daily transportation, and all of the intermediary details that make for a smooth Safari operation. The staff at all locations was outstanding. The needs and entire satisfaction of the guests was their primary concern. Throughout the Safari, the meals were outstanding. There was never a concern about not finding something satisfying. The accommodations throughout were also outstanding. Friends and family couldn't believe what the outfitter is calling tents. They were very much impressed. Our tour guide Robert, was exceptional. I will call him "Robert with the eagle eyes". If there was something to see Robert would find it. Robert was cordial, interesting and a true gentleman. His main goal was our satisfaction. We never lacked for something to do. Daily excursions started early and ended by dinner time. This was our desire and there was no pressure from Robert to drive us toward any particular regional location and the time window was completely at our discretion.
The weather proved to be cooler than we expected at the beginning of October. Most of my time was spent with a wool cap, heavy sweatshirt and lightweight down jacket over it to stay warm. Except for the middle of the day, this was pretty much my attire for the full 11 day safari. My only knock on anything during the Safari was the transit between Arusha and Hamerkop house. We stayed two nights at Hamerkop house, with one day spent almost entirely at Arusha National Park. The 20 minute drive to the main road near Arusha is on a busy dusty dirt road that is full of potholes and required me to wear an n95 dusk mask during transit. While a majority of the roads throughout the safari are also on pitted and dusty roads (which I expected), I think this beginning portion of our Safari adventure could have been served better by Lemala having a lodging site closer to the main road near Arusha.
Overall, the Safari was an experience I will cherish and never forget. Orchestrated by a team that is a well oiled machine.

Martin was exuberant!!!
Our tour guide, Martin was extremely accommodating for our group of 5. Lucky to have seen THE BIG FIVE!!! Such gifts were left waiting for us to find. To top off the drive, a purple full moon was rising behind the distant mountains. Going home with an overflowing heart.
Warmly,

In 3 days we experienced green paradise and beautiful wildlife.
3 days in Tanzania and we think we left a piece of our heart there. The Goldfish Tours team management system was very well. They everything organized perfectly. We explored the famous Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater. The Serengeti was like National Geographic in real life, lions lounging like kings, zebras doing their thing, and elephants blocking the road like they owned it. Then we hit Ngorongoro Crater, it's so beautiful it doesn't even look real. The views, the animals, everything was next-level. Our guide cracked jokes the whole time, and by night we were laughing around the campfire, pretending we could tell animal sounds apart. It was wild, hilarious, and absolutely fantastic.
