Mambo Mazuri (all is good) - Most incredible safari experience
High Neck Safaris offered us an incredible safari experience. It was our first visit to Africa. We received all necessary information on time, and Octavian (our contact person) made sure, that the safari was customized to all our wishes. He answered to all our questions quickly. Everything was well organized, especially the transfer from the airport worked well, our driver was already waiting for us.
Our safari began in the morning in Arusha with meeting our guide Edward. He welcomed us with a friendly smile, and we already had a good feeling since the beginning. During our safari (7 days overall, 5 days out in the national parks), we were able to see every animal we could have wished for. Edward showed us incredible places, that were far away from the masses. He cared about everything and fulfilled all our needs and wishes. We learned a lot about the wildlife as well as the Tanzanian culture and people. We are very thankful for every minute, and enjoyed it to the best. Leaving Serengeti and Ngorongoro in the end of our trip was quite hard, because of its beauty and the great experience. To put it in a nutshell, we highly recommend High Neck Safaris to everyone!
Asante sana! Hakuna matata! (Thank you very very much!)

Amazing Safari with Kikore Safaris!
We had an unforgettable trip with the kids in Tanzania. The best Safari company we could wish for. Aroni from Kikoke Safaris has a lot of experience and shows you all the beauty of Tanzania. What a fantastic trip and experience! We saw so much wildlife and the beautiful scenery. We stayed in fantastic lodges. Thanks to Kikoke Safaris. It was AMAZING.

Our Dream Tanzanian Honeymoon
My husband and I got married in September 2025 and were toying with many locations for our honeymoon. We are from the UK which is renowned for its damp weather; this was our only specification for our honeymoon at this point… somewhere sunny and hot!!! Europe in September is pleasant, but not as warm as we would like for our honeymoon. In came the wonders of Chat GPT… “where should we honeymoon in September if we want sunshine and heat?”
“TANANZIAN SAFARI”
We had never thought of a safari. The closest we have been to wild animals is at our local zoo. We were up for a huge adventure and something totally different so thought, why not?! However, we were totally overwhelmed with where to start. We had so many questions. Is it safe? Where in Tanzania should we go? Who is going to be our safari tour operator? Where are we going to stay? Imagine if we arrived and everything we booked was all a scam? What if we are 4500 miles away from home with no where to stay?! We rapidly went off the idea. The most we had ever planned was a trip to NYC!! But there was an itch we could not scratch with the idea of a safari… it was such a big trip and would be very fitting for our honeymoon. I said to my husband “I’m going to Google ‘luxury safari honeymoon’ for ideas, but we obviously won’t go with anybody as it’ll be too expensive”. That’s when we found Tailormade Africa. Their website seemed too good to be true… a UK-based company would actually plan our whole trip for us?? At no extra cost?? This must be dodgy. We looked at the reviews and my goodness, they spoke for themselves. In hindsight, they were all so accurate too! We scheduled a chat with Rob, just to ask some questions and see how feasible it could be.
Rob’s confidence on this topic was obvious from the get-go, which put us at great ease. Nothing seemed impossible and Rob was full of amazing ideas and suggestions. We ended the call feeling excited and reassured. We went away and had a think about what Rob had told us and scheduled another call to start organising our trip. The conversations we had whilst organising our trip with Rob were in-depth, never rushed and easy to understand. We didn’t feel overwhelmed at any point of the process. Rob’s confidence started to seep into us and with the help of Rob’s suggestions and own experiences, we organised things that were way out of our comfort zones and would never have booked for ourselves if it wasn’t off the back of Rob’s recommendation. Thank god we listened to him because we now have the experiences of a lifetime under our belt.
A few highlights of our trip that pushed us out of our comfort zones included:
- staying in tented camps as our accommodation, as opposed to lodges
- hot air balloon over the Serengeti
- staying on a remote island (Pemba)
- entertaining the idea of going somewhere with no wifi!!!
We totally relied on Rob’s recommendation for everything and very much went with the flow. Rob put together a document of all our different options and with that, we tailored our trip around cost and level of luxury. Rob has some amazing contacts and the places that we stayed were just incredible. The views were amazing. The food was very, very good. The people were sensational. The rooms/tents were perfect. We ranged our accommodation from tented camps, to bungalows, to luxury rooms at Four Seasons, to seafront Villas in Pemba.
Our itinerary included:
- 10 nights on Safari (staying in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Highlands, Central Serengeti)
- 1 night in Stone Town, Zanzibar
- 7 nights in Pemba
Whilst we were in Tanzania, Rob was contactable at all times should we need him. 9 times out of 10, we only made contact to show Rob what we were up to and that he was right all along… that we were going to have the best time!!!
We had so many questions in the run up and all the team at Tailormade Africa were patient, more than helpful, and very understanding.
I could go on and on about our experience with Rob and Tailormade Africa. All I can say is that Rob and his team designed the perfect trip for us and made our honeymoon exactly what we dreamed of and more. We put all of our faith and trust into them and they did not disappoint. Our photos speak for themselves and show just a smidgen of the amazing experiences we now have. What a way to start married life!
Thank you Tailormade Africa. We always said “we will go big with this trip as we will never do it again”… and now, we are thinking, shall we visit Zambia or Botswana next?!

Affable made our trip to Kenya an absolute amazing time
We had an amazing time with the Affable team while in Kenya and Tanzania. Communication before the trip was thorough, and being a group of five, we able to tailor a unique experience that fit into our interests, time frame, and just as importantly, budget! When our plans also included Tanzania, they took care of the logistics there as well, which eased our minds immensely. Our week with Steve as our driver was lovely. He is an endless font of knowledge, we learned so much more than just about the incredible animals. Hosking and Thomas were invaluable before, during, and after our time in Kenya and Tanzania, making us feel welcome and safe at all times.
If we are fortunate enough to make it back to Kenya, or anywhere in the region, we will be sure to use Affable Tours again!

Gaston was absolutely amazing!
Gaston collected us in two safari jeeps from Dar es Salaam and drove us to Mikumi national park. We stopped on the way to experience and find out more about the Masai people in a village near by the park. Afterwards we stayed at Bastian Camp and we had a two part day trip trough the national park! He always had cold drinks in the car. Looked after us, answered all questions and told us interesting facts. He was patient and always did everything we asked. He was very knowledgeable about the park and kept communicating with other guides so we can make the most of our time and see as many animals as we can. Thanks a lot for everything, I had the best time ever!
Very professional
Very professional team. Por driver Bosch was very pleasant. The experience was amazing. Highly recommended.

An unforgettable Tanzanian safari (Dec 28 – Jan 10)
Our safari in Tanzania from December 28 to January 10 was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our lives, and a big reason for that was the incredible team behind it.
From the very beginning, Douglas from Safari Soles was phenomenal. While we were still in the US, he helped us plan every detail of the trip with care and precision. He provided extremely helpful guidance on immigration, vaccinations, and entry requirements, and made sure all restrictions and logistics were handled smoothly. Thanks to Douglas, everything felt seamless and stress-free even before we landed in East Africa. The planning was thoughtful, thorough, and perfectly tailored.
Eric was the first person we met on the ground. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Nairobi, and then drove us from Nairobi to Arusha, Tanzania. During the drive, he gave us our first real glimpse into East African life and culture. His warmth, stories, and local insights made the journey itself feel like part of the adventure.
And finally — and most importantly — Innocent Mushi, our guide and navigator. Innocent was simply extraordinary. Always kind, always smiling, and endlessly accommodating, he ensured we had the best safari experience we could have imagined. He handled a wide range of requests within our group effortlessly, always putting our comfort and safety first.
The vehicle was always spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed. Innocent has an astonishing knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife — animals, birds, flora, and fauna — and could spot what felt impossible, like leopards hidden high in trees. He consistently positioned us at the best angles and viewpoints, made sure we were always well fed, and guided us with the confidence and expertise of someone who truly knows this land.
What stood out even more was his humanity. He often stopped to accommodate spontaneous requests not on our itinerary and even helped stranded passengers on the road, showing genuine kindness and care beyond his role. By the end of the trip, Innocent felt like family. I truly cannot recommend him highly enough — if you are doing a safari in Tanzania, you must work with Innocent Mushi.
After comparing notes with other travelers, we realized just how unique and exceptional our experience was.
Tanzania was recently voted the best safari destination in the world, and it’s easy to see why. We wholeheartedly recommend Safari Soles and are deeply grateful to their outstanding team — Douglas, Eric, and Innocent — for giving us an experience we will cherish forever.
