Absolutely Outstanding Safari & Kilimanjaro Adventure with Somewhere In Africa!
We had the most incredible 3-week journey through Tanzania with Somewhere In Africa, and I can honestly say it was one of the best travel experiences of our lives.
From the very first day, everything was perfectly organised: smooth airport transfers, the reliable jeep with our fantastic driver/guide Amani, and a crew that felt like family by the end. Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, a challenging but successful Kilimanjaro climb via the Machame Route (summited in record time thanks to our amazing guide Suma and his energetic team), and even relaxing days in Arusha – it was all flawlessly executed.
Highlights:
• Knowledgeable, fun, and super caring guides (Amani and Suma were absolute stars!)
• Great food on safari and excellent camp catering during the climb (shoutout to Fundi the cook!)
• Perfect acclimatisation planning on Kili, safe & professional crew, and real attention to our well-being
• Beautiful lodges/camps, well-maintained vehicles, and seamless logistics from start to finish
Everything was communicated clearly, they were flexible when needed, and they truly go the extra mile to make your trip unforgettable. If you’re looking for an authentic, high-quality Tanzanian adventure with people who genuinely care – Somewhere In Africa is the one. Highly, highly recommended!
We’ll be back. ❤️🦁🏔️

Helpful, reliable, trustworthy
What an incredible safari experience!
Excellent service with the communication before heading out on safari. The tour group answering all my questions promptly and was exceptionally helpful in all of their communications.
The actual safari experience was AMAZING! A big huge thanks goes to our driver: Moses. He did an exceptional job of locating animals and places for us to see. He had a fantastic experience of the Masai Mara Park and knew exactly where to find animals.
Thank you so much Team!

Great communication with Danford and Victor was the most amazing guide
We want on a safari as a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. Our trip started in Arusha where Danford had booked us into Planet Lodge which was a nice hotel with bungalow like rooms, which fitted us perfect as we could have connecting rooms.
Victor talked us through the safari the night before leaving, which was great as it gave us a view of what to expect. Although a safari is about a lot of unexpected experiences. Danford recommended us to go to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu and Central Serengeti and this was great advice. We got very different experiences each day. Victor was also quite fantastic, he saw things other guides didn't which as an example gave us a sighting of a baby leopard just next to our car. His knowledge was a big part of our total experience.
We did have a hickup with one of the tented camps but Danford swiftly helped with this. Other than that all was as described or better. we stayed in Ngorongoro Wild Camp, Safari Haven in Ndutu and Kontiki in Central Serengeti. In our view, the Kontiki was the nicest of these 3, and also where we got animals close to the tent. However, the food was best at Ngorongoro Wild Camp.
If we were to change anything at all, it would be to stay in Moshi the first night and Arusha second, instead of 2 nights in Arusha as we did now. we went on a coffee tour on the hills of Kilimanjaro our second day and it would have meant a few hours less in the car. But this is the only minor thing we would change. The coffee experience was also great, and we recommend taking the time for it.
We definitely recommend booking with Paws and Claws and if possible have Victor as a guide.

Best time
We booked a private 9-day safari for five people, which gave us a lot of flexibility and made the whole trip very comfortable. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and even though we saw other travelers having check-in issues with their safari companies, we never had a single problem.
The highlight of the trip was definitely our guide, Dickson. With 19 years of experience, his knowledge of wildlife and animal behavior was incredible. He always knew where to position the vehicle, even at busy sightings with lots of other cars around.
A guide really makes or breaks a safari, and Dickson made ours. Very professional and reliable company overall—we had an excellent experience.

Great Safari for a good price.
Very helpfull and realiable and friendly tour guide.
The tour guide named Izack during the Safari tour is very good in finding the animals, we had the chance to see the Big 5's and the Ugly 5's and a lot more. We definitely recommend this operator to future travellers of Tanzania. Thank you for amazing time we had here in Tanzania.

The best choice to visit Ethiopia
We (me and my girlfriend) can only say that we had the best experience. Our expectations were surpassed. Our guide tours were taking care of us every minute, and so gentle all the time, they took care of every detail to make sure our experience was the best, and made us feel as a family. If you are coming to Ethiopia this is the best choice, you wont regret it.

Unforgettable
This was an unforgettable experience! I had an amazing experience with Patriot Tours and their team. This was a private 6 day safari around the Serengeti that included seeing the Great Migration and a hot air balloon ride. My guide, GoodLuck, did a wonderful job. He is very knowledgeable and made the safari journey so easy and enjoyable. I learned so much!
I enjoyed his company, his efficiency with everything, and teaching me about all of the wildlife and culture. He was also very professional, polite and attentive. He navigated the parks so well and made sure I did not miss seeing anything- I was even able to see the elusive black rhino, which are endangered. I felt safe and comfortable and was (literally) able to sit back and enjoy the experience without any worries or hassles.
I will definitely recommend GoodLuck and Patriot Tours so anyone I know coming to Tanzania!

An amazing trip! I highly recommend it to everyone. The planning was 10/10 — precise, thorough, and
Our driver, Peter Kapino, was simply amazing! He drove safely and smoothly, listened to everything we asked, and had full knowledge about all the animals, explaining everything clearly and understandably. He shared tons of advice from his experience about what to do, how long to spend, and what’s best. His care and attentiveness toward us was evident every moment, and he was just incredible. I highly recommend that anyone going on a safari have Peter Kapino as their driver!
