The most thoughtful and caring tour operator in Tanzania
Very responsive from the start and tailored the tour perfectly to our needs. Everything was well organised throughout our 9 days in Tanzania. Reliable, professional and definitely great value for money. Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Guide Luckyano – Lyons King
We recently completed an incredible safari across Tanzania with Lyons King, and none of it would have been possible without our exceptional guide, Luckyano (Lucky). From the moment we set off through Tarangire, the Serengeti (both central and northern areas), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, Lucky's expertise was evident at every turn.
His knowledge of the parks, wildlife behavior, and terrain was outstanding. He always seemed to know exactly where to go and when, which is why we were fortunate enough to spot all of the Big Five during our trip. Beyond that, he made sure we witnessed truly unforgettable moments, including the wildebeest crossing the Mara River — a scene we'll never forget.
What made the experience even more special was Lucky's warmth and genuine enthusiasm. He was patient, friendly, and always went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable and had the best possible sightings, never rushing us and always sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem and animals we encountered.
Thanks to his dedication and effort, this safari became one of the best experiences of our lives. We cannot recommend Lucky highly enough, and we'll be telling all our friends and family to request him by name if they ever plan a safari in Tanzania. Thank you, Lucky, for such an incredible journey!

The most unforgettable family trip we have ever experienced
Our safari with Tanzania Safari Deluxe Tours was truly an unforgettable experience and without a doubt one of the most beautiful trips we have ever taken as a family. Everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end, and somehow every day managed to be even better than the one before.
We saw everything we could have dreamed of and more. The landscapes were incredible, and we were lucky enough to see every animal we had hoped for. It honestly exceeded all of our expectations.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was our driver and guide, MJ. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and simply a wonderful person to spend so many days with. We could talk to him about anything, and he seemed to know something about every animal, place and situation we encountered. What we especially appreciated was how respectful he was towards the animals and nature. He never drove unnecessarily close or disturbed the animals just to get a better view, yet he always managed to position us perfectly so that we could see and experience everything.
The accommodation throughout the trip was also excellent, and the food was great. I am vegetarian and was really happy that there were always good vegetarian options available.
From the organization and accommodation to the wildlife experiences and especially our time with MJ, we genuinely could not have wished for a better safari. It was an incredibly special experience for our whole family and a trip we will remember for the rest of our lives. We would recommend Tanzania Safari Deluxe Tours without hesitation.

Perfect!
We have just got back from our Safari with Raja Tours and it was such a wonderful, memorable and fun experience. We would highly recommend this company. We started in Kenya with our guide Robert showing us the Masai Mara. Robert was so warm and kind and easy to get along with. He was also so knowledgeable both in terms of animals and where best to go for sightings. Then we went across to Tanzania. Our guide here was Ramaa and he was also so lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable too. Both listened to us and tailored our drives to what we actually wanted to see and we saw everything by the end! We feel that they both made the trip even more special and we thoroughly enjoyed every day of our Safari. Both guides also gave us some excellent recommendations for activities. The communication was always good. We loved all of the different places we stayed too. The sites, service, location, food etc were all great. If we ever go back we will be booking with Raja Tours again! And recommending to family and friends!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with SafariGOATS
Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with SafariGOATS, and we couldn’t be happier with every aspect of our Tanzania safari.
From the moment we first reached out, Edna was fantastic. She was responsive, thoughtful, and meticulous in planning our itinerary, making sure every detail was just right. Her recommendations were excellent, and everything throughout the trip was perfectly organized, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the adventure.
Our guide and driver, Eddie, was truly exceptional. He quickly made us feel like more than just guests, we felt like we were traveling with a friend. His knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife, landscapes, and culture was outstanding, and his passion for what he does was evident every single day. He had an incredible ability to spot animals, always found the best viewing locations, and made every game drive exciting and memorable.
Beyond his expertise, Eddie’s kindness, professionalism, and great sense of humor made the trip even more special. He genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable, and thanks to him, it exceeded every expectation we had.
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend SafariGOATS. With Edna organizing the trip and Eddie guiding us through the Serengeti and beyond, we experienced an adventure our family will never forget. An easy five stars, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.

Unforgettable safaris, exceptional service!
One of the best agencies I’ve ever booked with! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They take care of every little detail, which makes such a difference when you’re travelling. Everything was perfectly organised, and you always feel like someone is looking after you.
The guides are amazing and really know the destination. They took us to some of the best spots and made every experience even more special with their knowledge and recommendations.
And Amina deserves a special mention. She is absolutely incredible, always checking that everything is going well, always available when you need her, and paying attention to every little detail throughout the trip.
You can tell that they genuinely care about their clients and want you to have the best possible experience. Couldn’t recommend them enough! ❤️

Unilateral cancellation, vehicle breakdowns, zero balance on refund account, police case opened
We booked a 2-week safari to Kenya and Tanzania with Inspired Budget Safaris and paid over 12,000 USD via Wise and PesaPal. The agency unilaterally cancelled the second part of our trip (Tanzania) and brought us back to Nairobi. They repeatedly promised a refund in writing. However, the payment platform PesaPal officially confirmed to us in writing that the agency has no money in their commercial account. The banking transfer references provided to us did not result in any funds arriving. Before our departure, we officially filed a complaint at the Police Station. Additionally, the Kenya Association of Tour Operators (KATO) officially confirmed to us in writing that this agency is not a member of their association, despite the information displayed. We are sharing this based entirely on our personal experience and official documents.
The first week in Kenya was problematic. The safari vehicle broke down almost every day due to poor maintenance, putting our safety at risk.
The agency changed our booked hotels without our consent.
They tried to compensate for these inconveniences with a 30 USD boat ride.
Furthermore, we discovered that the price they charged us was double compared to what other agencies charged our fellow travelers for the exact same activities and itinerary. For example: Masai Village visit for us 20USD/pp for other was 10USD; balloon safari for us 500USD/pp for others 425USD
I'm very disappointed with the way they worked with us and how they handled the situation. Every day they told us they were changing our car, even though they had no intention of doing so.

Exceeds expectations
Booked a mid range safari, six days among Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. We found very good organization, not luxury (we didn't look for that) but confortable accomodations in spectatular environments. Guide Khalifa was great, showed knowledge of parks and animals, their behaviours and well prepared us about what to expect during a game drive. We were never disappointed. We've seen all big fives ++; leopard just once, quite hidden, lions 15 times! Rhino only in Serengeti. Wild beast migration is a must, no way the best wonder of nature you would get in touch. Manyara has no sense for me to visit, since the lake overflowed, very sad place; for us was on the way to the airport, but I would not reccomend it.
We didn't go to Masai village, too much "show" for us. I would suggest LKA to think about some visit in real local environment, such as school or farm, to get in touch with real life, that would have been interesting.
