⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Unforgettable Experience
I honestly cannot find enough words to describe how amazing our safari with Rafiki Tembo was. From the very first contact to the last day of our trip, everything was perfectly organized and handled with great attention to detail.
The entire experience was simply unforgettable. We witnessed breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and moments that will stay with us forever. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional level of service: friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the journey.
The whole team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, welcome, and well looked after at all times. Their passion for what they do and for sharing the beauty of Tanzania is evident in every aspect of the experience.
I recommend Rafiki Tembo 100%. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania and want an authentic, seamless, and truly memorable adventure, look no further. Choosing Rafiki Tembo was one of the best decisions we made, and we would do it again without hesitation.
Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. 🦁🐘🌅✨

An Unforgettable Safari Experience in the Serengeti — Big Five in Just Two Days!
We had an absolutely incredible two days in the Serengeti. In such a short time, we spotted all of the Big Five and witnessed massive herds of migrating zebras and wildebeest, a truly breathtaking sight we’ll never forget.
Our guide Barnaba made the whole experience. He was proactive, knowledgeable, always sharing fascinating insights into animal behavior and finding the perfect angle for us to observe and photograph.
Highly recommend Barnaba, you’re in great hands with him!

Responsive and reliable!
We had two wonderful days with our guide Caleb. The truth is he is AMAZING! We were impressed by his reliability. On the way from Nairobi to Amboseli, there were many trucks on the narrow road, Caleb drove very carefully, steadily and made us feel safe. Not limited to animals, Caleb shared us stories about towns, villages and even his personal experience becoming a guide. We respected and liked his passion. More importantly, Caleb has very sharp eyes locating animals! He managed to find us cheetahs, a hyena, lions, gazelles, elephants and many other animals within limited time of your trip. We do appreciated his dedicated work! Oh, he is a good photographer, too. He took us good family picture while we were watching elephants. He was very considerate to park the car well so that we could take pictures from a better perspectives. And also, he was responsive to all our questions about animals. We learnt a lot from him! We wish we could come back in the future to go on a longer safari with Caleb!
Lastly, the sales Mike is worth mentioning too. He was the magician behind the scene who made our journey happen. He was very patient to help us realize this trip and we were grateful to his efforts too.

very friendly
We had a fantastic time in Tanzania. Every single overnight stay on our tour (Ngare Lodge, Mbuni Serengeti Camp, and Ngorongoro Wild Camp) was simply excellent!
A huge thank you to our guide Adam, who was incredibly friendly and showed us the amazing wildlife. We also highly appreciate Justin, who was always in touch with us and perfectly took care of the entire transfer before and after the safari.
We highly recommend Serengoro Experience!

Very professional and corteous service, highly recommended
My travel partner and I booked the budget fly-in trip from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park, just a few days before departure. We were asked to rebook to a different day as there were no available flights anymore on our initial day of departure, but except for that, we found this tour perfect. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the airport, to be greeted by our own private driver and his safari car for a 4-hour sightseeing tour in Kruger before being driven to the airport again and then later brought back to our hotel, all in about twelve hours time. While it may seem rushed, we found the pace very enjoyable and relaxing, perfect for a short but effective Kruger safari experience. Kudos to our drivers Rudzani and Muzi for making our trip so perfect!

Unforgettable Safari
I must say that I had such an amazing time on safari with Richard and Ayo. They both are so knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. As a solo traveller, I felt at ease and comfortable throughout the trip. The food was so delicious and flavorful. I am still trying to figure out the sauce. TanzaniaTimeless Safaris did not disappointment me at all. I had great communication from organising to completing this tour. I must say it is indeed value for money and I highly recommend to solo travellers and families. Your needs will be catered for to the "T".

They made us feel comfortable choosing them from our home on the other side of the world!
We had an amazing safari experience with this small, women-owned company. At first we were uneasy about picking a small company but they showed up from the beginning stages of planning all the way through till they met us in the parking lot at the end of our trip to wish us well. From the planning stages to the end of our trip, the attention to detail was exceptional. It was great to have a video call with Elizabeth before the trip while we were in planning stages, and meeting Angel in Arusha for an orientation helped us feel prepared and excited for the adventure ahead. They worked with us and our family of 5 until we got the budget where we wanted. They were responsive and patient.
Our guide, Dickson, was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely cared about both our safety and the wellbeing of the animals. His familiarity with the land, incredible eyesight, and determination to help us find wildlife made every game drive memorable. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to find so many animals and have a feont row seat.
The vehicle was brand new, comfortable, and stocked daily with water, soda, and wine. We appreciated thoughtful touches like clean floor mats each day, a birthday celebration, and personalized gifts including T-shirts, Maasai blankets, and custome reusable water bottles.
The family accommodations were excellent, and we loved the hot picnic lunches in the bush. One of the highlights of the trip was the hot air balloon safari—I had to pinch myself to make sure it was real!
Traveling during the shoulder season meant fewer crowds while still enjoying incredible wildlife viewing. We also appreciated supporting a company that gives back to the local community and practices responsible tourism.
Overall, this was a well-organized, personal, and unforgettable safari experience. We highly recommend this company and would do it again in a heartbeat! We flew a bush plane from Arusha to Central Serengeti, then drove west, came back to central, then to Ngorogoro and last stop was Tarangire before heading back to Arusha.
