My name is Deograsias Shirima, I grew up in the wilderness of Tanzania, on the slopes of the Rift Valley.I started to work as a Driver Guide, also travelling other parts of Africa, like Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Namibia and Mozambique helped me a lot to understand our guests, and special needs of clients during our trips.The profit we make with our tours is going back into my village Mto wa Mbu, where we are building a school and supporting underprivileged children.

Dream comes true
We were travelling with our German-speaking driver Ernesto. It was so incredibly special! Ernesto always had his eyes open and knew so much about the animals. That was great and he made this safari something very special for us. Bianca laid the foundation for it and put together this trip according to our wishes. So we ended up directly in the Serengeti to be a part of the great animal migration. The fact that we then went on a hike into the Empakaai Crater after 3 days of game driving was also particularly heart-warming. In Tarangire National Park we were able to say goodbye to almost all of the animals again before Ernesto drove us to the super beautiful Kaliwa Lodge at the foot of Kilimanjaro. There we went on an incredibly enriching hike with Omega through banana-coffee-avocado-mango... plantations and roasted and brewed coffee ourselves with Mama Johann. It was great here too, what we were able to learn from Omega. Bianca put together a safari tour for us that couldn't have been better. It was a dream come true for us and we happily landed back in Germany with many wonderful experiences. Thank you for everything!
Excellent Moment with my Family in Tarangire with Furahia Tanzania Dec 14, 2022 unforgettable
I had a wonderful day trip in Tarangire, organized by the Furahia Tanzania Safari & Trekking Ltd which took place on 14th December 2022. The staff for the Furahia are on time in terms of time management. Their Manager organized his team so that everyone was on time. We firstly agreed on the departure time a day before the trip. He called us in the morning to check our readiness for the trip. We check out of the Lodge in the morning, had nice breakfast, and then the Guide came to pick us from the lodge. They had prepared nice lunch boxes for us , water and soft drinks of our choice. We started the tour at around 7.45 am and the Guide who was so conversant with the geographic surroundings , he narrated everything on the way to Tarangire. He told us stories about the maasai cultures, clarified on fauna e.g acacias trees, grass, and flora on birds and their behaviors etc. So the trip to the national park was so involving , interactive and enjoyable We arrived at the park gate at around 9.30 am, and we heard news that , they spotted a leopard one of the big five, a very rare animal to be noticed , that was seen on a tree, some 300 meters from the Tarangire Gate,. The guide was so fast to get gate permission protocol cleared and permit obtained within 10 minutes , we proceeded and enjoyed viewing the animal, relaxed on the site. We proceeded with the trip, saw many elephants, giraffes, Warthogs, Zebras, impalas, and Phythons hiding in the bush. The Guide Mr Gift Mbwambo, is so kind, professional, knowledgeable, with lot of sense of humor. He listens to our demands and try out to flex the routes to be able find out and see some animals which are rarely noticed in the afternoon. it was unbelievable that the Guide could link up with his colleagues to be updated where a lion was noticed on that day and he managed to pick us to see a relaxing lion close to a thorny bush. He could use the radio call and again was updated on where his colleagues had spotted the Pythons. The Guide was also good on time management, to the extent that we were able to pass by the Arusha Snake Park and thereby enjoyed viewing various snakes in the park and later enjoyed camel riding close to the snake park.. We returned to the Lodge at around 18 hours had dinner and waited for the World Cup match quarter final between Morocco and France In Summary, Furahia Tanzania Safari and Trekking staff and management are nice, organized, friendly, professional, on time , knowledgeable, hospitable, considerate, who can make your trip to accrue the value for money. Indeed you will maximize your safari enjoyment and your stay if you pick to be serviced by this company.

- wonderful - outstanding - excellent -
starting from arusha via tarangire national park to lake manyara, mto wa mbu, ngorongoro crater, central serengeti, marariver, lake natron back to arusha. the team around deo shirima did a great job in prepairing the whole gamedrive ; all their advices have been very helpful to get wonderful impressions of nature.
our driver/guide george, a member of the massai spoke good german language and he explained every animal, flower and tree. his courtesy, his knowledge and his behavior made the trip to an outstanding adventure. it‘s worth not to skimp on accomodations.
every evening we Made a Review and discussed our gamdrive for the next day with the guide - so everybody got an idea what will happen next day. george has an outstanding feeling for finding the right stops taking pictures and Videos, whatching animals, hidden places with lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos … so we did the big 5 within 3 days!!! the most impessive adventure was to be in the middle of more than 20 elephants in a distance of one and a half meter, the crossing of more than one and a half million of wildbeest in one run. on a scale of 0 - 10 furahia and specially our guide george will get 12!!!

Eight days on an exiting private-safari with Emmanuel
Our guide and driver Emmanuel Mushi has proved to be an excellent guide with exceptional knowledges of the highlights in the northern part of Tansania. Emmanuel did not only lead us safely on the tour, but also we enjoyed his competent information about nature, animals and also the history of this country. What we have seen exceeded by far our expectation.
We therefore recommend strongly our guide Emmanuel for this kind of vacation in Tansania.

Amazing Safari with professional guide
Me and my parents have had an amazing Safari with Furahia. I got in touch with Deo (the owner) through his boxing gym in Mto Wa Mbu, a village on the way to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Deo owns the boxing gym and this is part of a great charity organization aiming to raise awareness for the importance of sports and he does this in an amazing way.
Now for the safari. Our driver guide George was a very professional guide. He had excellent knowledge about nature and wildlife, and gave us an amazing Safari experience. He was also able to tell us a lot about local cultures like the Masai, the ethnic group to which he himself belong. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Arusha national park. Each one of these parks having its own unique features and all worth a visit. After this we spended three days in and around Moshi after which the safari was over.
I would greatly recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional, trustworthy Safari.
