Great Safari Experience Working With Gitau at Tazama!
We had an amazing African safari adventure thanks to the efforts of Gitau (Antony), owner of Tazama Africa Holidays. We highly recommend working with Tazama, a local Nairobi Safari Company. This was our first trip to East Africa, after two previous safari trips in South Africa and Botswana. The East African safaris are a bit different than our other safari experiences in that our drivers from park to park were also our safari guides, rather than having guides from each camp.
Since it is such a long distance for us to travel around the world for an African safari, we decided to cover three countries and five parks over 16 days. We had three marvelous drivers/ guides, Moses in Kenya, Shedreck in Tanzania and Bosco in Rwanda. We also spent our last full day in Nairobi with Fred before our flight heading home. All our drivers were knowledgeable, friendly and kind people who we got to know very well on our drives across Africa in our trusty Toyota Land Cruisers.
Our accommodations were everything from safari tents in Tarangire to a 5-star lodge in Serengeti. Every park was unique and we had many special experiences from watching large elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, including old timer, super tusker Craig, who just recently passed away, the great wildebeest migration and a group of female lions taking down a zebra to feed to their 18 cubs and two large males in Serengeti, and an incredible trek into the high elevation jungles of Volcano National Park in Rwanda to watch a large 20 member mountain gorilla family.
Gitau was easy to communicate with by either email or WhatsApp. He made sure all our arrangements were taken care of. What an incredible trip!

An Unforgettable Safari with Max and Johanna
We had an absolutely fantastic safari experience from December 31st to January 5th, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything was organized.
Our guide and driver, Max, was truly exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has a real talent for explaining animals and their behavior in a clear and engaging way. What made the experience even more special was his genuine passion for wildlife, which he transmitted to us every day. On top of that, he was always friendly, funny, and extremely helpful, making the long days on safari both exciting and enjoyable.
A special mention also goes to our chef, Johanna, who was amazing. He was very kind and always smiling, and the food was absolutely delicious. We really appreciated having hot, freshly prepared meals every day, especially compared to other tour operators we saw who only offered packed or canned food. This made a huge difference in comfort and overall experience.
One of the highlights was the New Year’s Eve dinner, complete with a cake to celebrate the end of the year. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the celebration in the middle of the safari truly unforgettable.
Overall, this safari exceeded all our expectations. Professional organization, passionate people, great food, and unforgettable moments. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a high-quality and authentic safari experience.

Amazing and attentive to detail
Fauna Safaris did an outstanding job planning our Dubai trip from 25th December 2025 to 2nd January 2026. The entire package was tailored perfectly to our needs, and their professionalism stood out from start to finish.
Communication was excellent throughout the planning process and during the trip itself; they were always available online to respond to any questions or concerns. Airport transfers were seamless, with timely pick-ups and drop-offs, which made our travel stress-free.
They also arranged a top-tier chauffeur service, with luxurious cars that made getting around Dubai both comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel they recommended exceeded our expectations and was a great fit for our stay.
I highly recommend Fauna Safaris for all your travel needs. Their attention to detail, reliability, and customer care are exceptional, you won’t regret using their services!

Very good communication and I felt that we were with a highly reliable company
We did the 5 day tour and the highlights were in Serengetti and Ngorongoro. Amazing landscapes! It was bumpy specially for me and my wife who had to sit at the back of the safari car. However the experience was something we will never forget. It is very intense waking up every morning and being in the car until 5-6 in the evening but I will still recommend you to do it. The camping site in Serengetti is maybe not for beginners like us. Not very fresh dining place and washrooms. I hope they improve this. However in Ngorongoro the campsite was much better.
I would in hindsight say that 4 days safari starting at Tarangire and ending in Ngorongoro is the perfect amount of days. The 5th day in Lake Manyara it was an underwelming experience coming from Ngorongoro and Sarengetti.
The communication with our Tour Operator was so good that I am lost for words. She helped us, Prisca more then we could ask for. I even asked if they would give us tshirts the last day they dropped us at our hotel. She said that she would send someone the next day before our flight in the morning. And they came to the airport to drop the tshirts to us. This kind of service is unforgettable. Thank you so much Prisca!

Very nice
I would totally recommend them. Only one thing that you should improve it to be a little bit more detailed on the itinerary. Other than that, the hotels they choose are nice, except the one in AA Amboseli. The travel agent helped us with everything we needed and even though we had a flight delay they managed to get us to Masai Mara in another vehicle to start the safari. Also the Driver we had was very helpful and good driver and patient and knew a lot about the animals.

Friendship Adventures Safari is truly professional and conscientious of the animals and their guests
My cousin had a great experience with this tour company and referred me when I started to plan my trip. Donald was reachable by WhatsApp and email. He put together a wonderful itinerary. I made Since this is my first safari, I didn’t know what to expect. Nelson was our guide. He met us at the airport and stayed with us for the entire station. He was a safe driver mindful of our safety on the roads. This is important to me as I was traveling with my children and we spent a lot of time driving from Tarangire to Serengeti. While being able to drive safely, he also has a keen eye for spotting animals. He’ll tell us which animal he saw and then park at an advantageous spot for us to observe or take photos. We had close encounters with elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, lions, leopard and even saw a rhino! We were lucky to see the Big 5 on our first and only safari. He was very respectful of the animals and never startled or chased them unlike some other guides. One of our duffles was left behind by accident and he was able to arrange for another guide to bring it to us a couple of days later. After our experience, I can say unreservedly that Nelson was a FANTASTIC guide. There were other large companies with more trucks out, but quality over quantity! I highly recommend this tour company.

Excellent, attention to details
Our driver Isaac was very knowledgeable of animal behavior and was able to spot animals far away or in hiding. The accommodations were very nice, in proximity to or within the parks.
Our trip was 8 days, with no glitch. We would definitely recommend Savannah Explorers for the excellent service!
