Amazing, efficient and affordable!
Tausi Trails provided us with the best quote for the 4 day 3 night Serengeti budget camping trip. From the start it was very smooth process, they picked us up from Arusha airport then dropped us at our hotel in Arusha town to stay the night. The next day we had a driver come and collect us aswell as another driver come and collect our heavy main luggage and kept store at their office safe. We found a normal size backpack each was perfect size for a few days of clothing so we didn't have to move our 15kg backpacks around with us as the safari cars can get filled up with stuff quite quickly so we definitely recommend doing this. We did the safari which was absolutely amazing, we saw Tarangire for 1 day, Serengeti for 2 days and on the last dau Ngologolo crater. These places were absolutely amazing. The parks was beautiful and the crater was so densely packed with animals. It was ALOT of driving, we probably did around 8-10 hours per day including the safari and transporting to campsites or parks so keep this in mind and bring some snacks! The tour provides you with all your meals and was done by amazing cooks which were lovely too us. We booked the shared tour, and the first day we was on sharing then the next 2 days by chance we ended up with a private tour with just us 2, the cook and the safari guide which was absolutely amazing. The last day was with a group again. We 100% recommend this tour. And please please please tip your safari driver and cook as they rely on it and are the sweetest people.
At the end we then got taken back to our accommodation in Arusha, Tausi tours dropped our luggage off for us at the accommodation so it was there for when we arrived.
Would like to thank the Tausi Team for sorting this for us.

Funny and knowledgeable
My tour guide, Triminate Ahabangu, was funny and knowledgeable. He answered all questions that we had. Unfortunately we did not see any lions, however we saw many inter animals to include elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and more. I do recommend this tour.

Flexible
Sufiane was timely and flexible as we did the safari with our 3 year old and 1 year old child. He communicated well and was knowledgeable about the animals. Great! value! My only suggestion for improvement is for him to stay longer at some notable sitings, such as more rare animals (rhino) or large groups of animals (like a herd of elephants).

Awesome experience!
I did the Tanzania Safari. The plan was adjusted to our budget. Since the moment we landed in Arusha they were very attentive, all the logistics were full coordinated, the tour guide was friendly and he really did the best job making our trip unforgettable. All the hotels/accommodations were very comfortable. The hotels are all owned by them and it was a plus for them to give a full service. They also helped us to coordinate a trip to Zanzibar which was very helpful. I totally recommend traveling with them.

Lemonjuice was Flawless, amazing and dedicated, frankly he surpassed every expectations we had.
Lemonjuice was absolutely amazing he made a point of making this Safari fun for every passenger and showing us as many animals as possible, he asked us which ones we wanted to see and prioritized them. He was driving very well and was very well informed on animal behaviours and physiology we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide.

Great Experience
The safari experience was amazing and we managed to see pretty much all of the animas. Our guide Lemon Juice did an excellent job to make our experience fun and memorable, he went above and beyond to find and give us a good angle to see the animals!

Overall outstanding
We had a great adventure on our 9 day Uganda safari. I booked with Tubale Safaris and had a lot of communication with them about dates and lodges etc.
Isaac our guide/driver picked us up at our hotel the first day and was early and waiting. He explained our itinerary to us. Isaac kept us on track each day with time for breakfast and times we were to be leaving for different activities and drives. Before our trip some of our lodges had changed and I was told they were upgrades. I really don’t know how to gauge that since we haven’t been to Uganda before. We put trust in Tubale.
Each lodge we stayed at we weren’t disappointed and felt taken care of. Isaac was always checking in with us to make sure we had what we needed. He was always early, arranged ahead of time different people he knew to get all information as to where the animals might be that day (finding us the shy leopard), and in advance with the lodges for our lunches and times we would arrive. You can tell he is very experienced at providing the best safari experience to you.
Annet with Tubale would check in with us throughout our tour to make sure everything was going well. Even after our tour we stayed in Kampala a couple more days and Isaac was making sure we were ok and if we needed anything. He really went above and beyond in making our adventure in Uganda safe and exciting.
I think overall there are a lot of costs associated with safaris. Be prepared to tip a diffent guide for everything. Example: Gorilla trekking they (Bwindi guides) will ask for tips for the trackers and guides. It’s fine we would have tipped them anyway but they pressure you into it. If you go on a walking safari a tip is expected for this guide etc. we knew this from safaris before but it can get annoying along the way. It doesn’t have anything to do with Tubale.

Absolutely amazing 😍
Every cent spent on this tour was worth it.
The transfer (Sunny) was very cool and responsible.
I'm fascinated by how our tour guide Moloko was willing to teach about the area and the animals.
Moloko is one of the best tour guides I've ever met.
Congratulations 🎉
