In Love with.. Tanzania
I booked my Safari with Issa of Destiny Explorer, who found a solution for all my requests. I choosed the Serengeti for a very special moment of my life: the engagement with my girlfirend under an unforgettable sunset. Tarimo, our driver and guide, was very calm and gave us a lot of information about wildlife during the safari. We felt safe all the time during the safari. I suggest this agency for the professionality of its staff and the organization of the trip.

An incredible experience with a small downside
Our 7-day adventure was truly unforgettable, featuring waterfalls, ponds, lakes, a safari, a hot air balloon ride, and even flights and boat trips. The highlights of our safari included Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti, which were absolutely breathtaking.
Benson Safaris did a fantastic job organizing the entire trip and making sure everything went smoothly. A special thanks to Zablon, our tour guide, who was more than just a guide—he was an adventure partner! He was kind, attentive, and instrumental in ensuring we saw the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. We celebrated together, shared meals, and enjoyed beers under the African sky. It was a fantastic experience, and Zablon played a huge role in making it special.
The only downside was the flight from Serengeti (Seronera airstrip) to Zanzibar. Despite our early planning and multiple communications well in advance, the flight tickets were purchased too close to the departure date. As a result, we had to take three separate flights on the same day, instead of the direct flight we had hoped for. This added unnecessary stress and made our journey to Zanzibar more tiring than expected. We essentially lost almost an entire day in transit, which was frustrating, especially after such an exciting safari.
But all in all, it was an incredible trip. The minor flight issue didn’t overshadow the incredible experiences we had. Highly recommend Benson Safaris for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania!

The company as a whole was very good, but Casper was great.
My wife and I booked three days of tours and activities with Fuhara. With everything going on there were several chances for things to go wrong, but the company as a whole was always responsive and very easy to work with. That being said we were lucky enough to spend most of our trip with one employee in particular named Casper. He was very kind, professional, caring young man who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. If you book with Fuhara and get the chance to interact with Casper consider yourself lucky.

Amazing experience, excellent organisation, welcoming and friendly team
I had a fantastic weekend with Eddy from Gari trips, my first experience of Uganda (and safari) which completely exceeded my expectations. We visited Ziwa rhino sanctuary and Murchison Falls, where we managed to fit in two game drives, a walk to the top of the falls and a boat trip. Saw so many beautiful animals and birds in such a short space of time. Eddy was great company - positive, organised, enthusiastic and happy to share his extensive knowledge of wildlife and Uganda, and an expert driver / navigator. I was travelling alone and felt safe and comfortable, even in the Kampala traffic! Communication with Emma who organised the trip was also great - he was super quick to respond and made planning this at pretty short notice very simple. The price was also very reasonable. Thank you Gari trips, I hope to be back!

An incredible safari
We did a 5 day safari with 4 people and had an incredible time. From the start Steve was responsive and it was easy to get the safari all booked in, which we did about 4 months in advance. Isaac was our guide and was great. We saw so many animals, and Isaac was fantastic and spotting them, and getting close while also being respectful of the animal’s space. We felt well cared for and safe in his hands. And he was helpful to others too when another Land Cruiser got stuck in the mud, he was happy to help and made sure they got out. I would be keen to book a safari again with Ramja and would highly recommend them to others!

Unforgettable Safari plus Zanzibar
We’ve just returned from an unforgettable 11-day safari and Zanzibar holiday, and saying it was amazing would be an understatement! Everything was simply perfect from start to finish.
First of all, a huge thank you to Anitha, who was absolutely brilliant in organizing the trip. She tailored every detail to fit our budget while keeping the experience exceptional. She was always quick to respond to our questions and made the whole planning process smooth and enjoyable.
A special mention also goes to Olaa, our safari driver and guide. He was not only kind and professional but also incredibly dedicated to ensuring we saw as many animals as possible. Thanks to him, we witnessed countless incredible moments — from prides of lionesses with their cubs to, on our last day in the Serengeti, a breathtaking sight of three cheetahs together.
The accommodations: Farm of Dreams, Kumbukumbu, and Z2 Hotel were all wonderful. The facilities, hospitality, and food were outstanding, making each stay comfortable and memorable.
Last but not least, the activities in Zanzibar were excellently organized and the perfect way to end our adventure.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Golden Trips Safari to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania.
Asante sana!

Perfect! 5 stars!
We did a 6 day, 5 night tour with Imara Africa Safaris seeing Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara. It was honestly such a great experience - our guide Patrick did his best to get us as close to the animals as possible. lan helped us out with the planning stages - he was so quick and communicative which made us trust Imara Africa safaris from the beginning. The Imara team is great, we would definitely recommend arranging your safari with them.

Our fantastic 7 days safari with Great Day Safaris.
We went to Tanzania for a 7-day safari that will remain an important chapter in our lives.
Our journey started at Tarangire, where we were surrounded by herds of elephants.
Then our next destination in Serengeti and it was absolutely magical, especially the Mara River crossing, huge of wildebeests and zebras braving the river’s dangers.
Finally we explored the legendary Ngorongoro Crater.We truly felt like we had stepped onto another planet. We were truly mesmerized by this beautiful view of nature. Nature lovers like us should go on a Tanzania safari to appreciate the natural beauty and wildlife.

An amazing experience that was almost perfect, if your operator was better!
The tour was low-budget, so we weren’t expecting anything luxurious. Our “tour guide” was a great driver, but not much of a guide. He was not at all communicative and didn’t explain much. The food was good and the camping was fair. The facilities of the first two nights could have used some tlc. The restrooms and showers were VERY filthy. I am not one to complain, so I really mean what I say. It was surprising. In the end, though, the experience was incredible and we loved it. Those few things would have just added to it, instead of detracting.

Checked all the boxes
From beginning to end Sunset adventures provided an amazing experience. Emma started us off on our adventure by helping us create our dream itinerary. She was attentive and answered our questions in a timely manner. We will reach out the Emma again when we are ready to plan our Kilimanjaro trek. On the tour itself, our guide Abraham was kind, knowledgeable and amazing at spotting all of the wildlife we could imagine! Each of the lodges had its own unique personality. We upgraded a few of the lodges, it felt well worth it with many of the lodges offering views of the parks we had just gone on safari in. It was amazing to walk out of our room and see wildlife. Food was good, staff was amazing at each stop overall we would 100 percent recommend sunset adventure for a reasonably priced full service adventure.
