He is a very funny and caring person with great energy
It was a very life changing experience, being able to experience other peoples cultures and learning new things every day. I really liked how the drivers (Kevin, Johny and joho) knew exactly what to do and it showed that they had been doing this for a long time because of how good they were. I enjoyed the fact that they stopped every time there was something interesting and gave is some time to take pictures. Overall 10/10 experience!

I chose See Endless Adventueres because I wanted to have a local provider.
The request to Hamis, one of the two managing directors, started without any problems with an email and then everything via WhatsApp. Hamis put together the trip for us according to our wishes and we were also able to adapt the accommodations. Drinks and food requests were also taken into account.
The two of us were traveling in a large Toyota SUV 4x4 (8 seats) with a pop-up roof. We thought that was really cool. Lots of space and really comfortable too. We saw other groups full to the brim and we wouldn't have liked that because not all travelers can stand at the same time.
We also saw many SUVs that had broken axles, broken brakes, got stuck without a 4x4 or had other problems. Our driver was Benjamin. Benjamin also takes photographs himself; he has a good eye for the animals and always knew where they were hiding, which was partly due to the bush radio. Benjamin is also very nice and of the quieter sort, but he explains everything well in English.
Everything worked out perfectly all around.
Our tour:
Day 1 Arusha Airport pickup with hotel in Arusha
Day 2 Tarangire NP accommodation with pool
Day 3 Serengeti NP Accommodation with animals walking through the camp
Day 4 Central Serengeti Ngorongoro Accommodation felt like it was in the jungle
Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater no accommodation as we go directly to the airport in the evening
We didn't have to worry about anything. We drove around 10 hours on a safari every day. Due to the distances, we had a lot of travel time on days 3 and 5.
Even lunch was awesome, while we saw other safari travelers with a cardboard box, our food was served in stainless steel pots, tablecloths and fancy dishes.
In my personal opinion, you could probably have skipped the crater, as it is quite dry at the beginning of October and there aren't that many animals to see. We still saw the rhino. Seen all the Big 5, Ugly 5 and many, many more animals.
Thank you Hamis and Benjamin for the great safari!
Best regards

Incredible safari experience in Tanzania!
My group of friends and I recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure in Tanzania, and it's safe to say that our journey would not have been the same without the exceptional guidance of Raymond. From start to finish, Raymond not only exceeded our expectations but also left an indelible mark on our hearts.
First and foremost, Raymond's knowledge of the animals and the local ecosystem was simply astounding. He seemed to possess an innate ability to spot wildlife that we would have otherwise missed, even when camouflaged in the dense underbrush of the Serengeti. His explanations about animal behavior, migration patterns, and ecological significance added a profound depth to our safari experience. It was like having a living, breathing encyclopedia of African wildlife right by our side.
But Raymond's expertise extended far beyond the realm of wildlife. He had a deep understanding of the local culture, which he eagerly shared with us. Whether it was introducing us to the Maasai people, explaining their customs and traditions, or telling us captivating stories about the history of the region, Raymond's cultural insights enriched our journey and provided a meaningful context for the landscapes and wildlife we encountered.
What truly set Raymond apart, however, was his exceptional personality and genuine kindness. He didn't just guide us through Tanzania; he became a friend. His warm smile, boundless enthusiasm, and unwavering patience made us feel like we were exploring this magnificent land with a trusted companion. Raymond's positive energy was infectious, and he brought a sense of joy and camaraderie to our group that made our safari all the more enjoyable.
Raymond went above and beyond to ensure that our safari was safe, comfortable, and unforgettable. He meticulously planned our daily itineraries, making sure we witnessed the most breathtaking moments of the animal kingdom in action.
I cannot express enough how lucky we were to have Raymond as our safari guide. He possesses a rare combination of expertise, passion, and charisma that makes him an outstanding ambassador for Tanzania's natural wonders and cultural treasures. Raymond, you are not just an extraordinary guide; you are a cherished friend and a testament to the incredible people we meet during our travels. Thank you for making our Tanzanian safari an adventure of a lifetime, and we can't wait to return for more adventures with you in the future. Asante sana, Raymond!

Outstanding combination of professionality and personality that made or tour an amazing experience
We enjoyed an incredibly great time with our hosts Loth, Collin and Pius. Friends have recommended us the provider and we had in advance super good and binding contact with Catherine via mail from Germany - what followed after arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport was simply a dream. Loth as a driver knows incredibly well in the national parks and has a wealth of knowledge about each animal. The typical tanzanian food was great, the evenings with the team at campsites perfectly social. We are so happy to have chosen such a personal safari company. Thank you for everything!

Amazing 2-day Safari
Had an amazing 2 day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro and 1 day Materuni cultural tour in Moshi. Innocent was very helpful he organized our entire trip from the the start to the last minute. He arranged airport pick up and drop off that was extremely helpful. We really enjoyed our Materuni tour that Innocent recommended us to do. The 2 day safari we did was amazing and was well worth it. We’re excited to one day return to Tanzania!

Team Raha - our family forever
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures was a great experience for us, all 8 days with the whole team. From the very beginning, even before we came to Tanzania, we were nicely surprised by the way the owner of the company responded to our questions (always very fast and in a very detailed way) and also to our requests (no problem with vegetarian food or adding an extra day to rest on Saturday). Our guides, Rama and Amani, were amazing, the most supportive people I've ever met. Also very knowledgable, respectful, with great sense of humour and sharing with us beautiful music on the way. It's only thanks to these two guys and their calming and motivating presence that we made it to the top.
The cook Abuu was a real magician and artist - how was it possible for him to prepare such delicious, various dishes and arrange them in such an artistic way in such conditions goes beyond my imagination. All the porters were also super friendly and supportive, always smiling, always positive and happy, especially Papa Mogeredja, Othumani and Eddy. Thanks to them every morning and every coming to the next camp were like coming home. Thank you for sending us to Kilimanjaro with such a great family

Overall Satisfactory
Though we were overall satisfied with the trip, there's room for improvements.
First of all, we paid higher amount for a big jeep as per quote. On the night we arrived, the van had no A/C. We had the same van next day.
We got a different van on the 2nd day of trip with A/C. After a delay in start, we were made aware of things beyond their control and a jeep was there on the fourth day but it was a very small jeep. We both being photographers, when the top was open, it was hard to stand without slamming our entire body onto each other and the window were too small to maneuver the cameras; unable to get the wanted shots. Our luggage and other things were on the back seats. The small jeep was too crummy to move around.
Frank took great interest in showing us the animals particularly elands and other rare monkeys. We gained a wealth of knowledge about Uganda.
There were things that we wish were taken care of just like other drivers. We are seasoned travelers and have seen the drivers/guides who clean windows, floors, remove garbage on daily basis, wait on the customers every single time. These are minor things yet make a difference when the new day comes to enter a clean jeep. The most important factor for any safari traveller especially a photographer is to capture good images and make videos capturing the essence of the sounds which give life to that particular situation. In our case, 95% of the time, we have videos with the driver's voice as he was on the phone all the time. After telling him in passing, I had to tell him straight on the very last day in a nice way telling that I would like the video to have just the forest sound and it is the last day. Other than that which is a major issue with video recordings, I should say that we were happy with the arrangement of the tour. We were recommended to this site by travelers we met in our other travels. This means people are happy with this company. I have already given much recommendations to many fellow travelers, shared the site info and Mr. Araali's name, our contact representative. He always replied to all my emails with all the questions answered. There are some travelers who are eager to contact this agency. Having said that, I will use this agency again if I come back to Uganda.
Small things can be rectified. Humans can change and Life goes on.

Great safari
We were really happy with Tanzania Specialist! From the beginning we had easy communication with them and they arranged our safari in detail. We had a very warm welcome and great, skilled guide Laurence. He was knowledgeable and really flexible with all our requests. For accommodation we choose mix of hotels, lodges and tented camp and all of it was amazing! Would definitely recommend!
Olengugih safaris are the best!I will definitely stick with them for another safari!
Time is key!I was never disappointed by Olengugih!They were punctual, well organized and affordable!Cheerz!

Helpful, always available.
The first day's game drive was missed. The camp is well equipped.
