Knowledgeable, very family friendly and catering to our interests.
My family and I enjoyed a fantastic safari to Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater with Allen Tanzania Safaris. We were a group of seven which included 4 teenagers. We each had an incredible experience.
Our guide shared so much of his knowledge - not just about the animals, but also about the parks, the geology, the flora, Tanzanian ethnic groups and Tanzanian heritage. He responded to our many questions and engaged us with plenty of interesting information about what we were seeing. We heard fascinating accounts of animal behaviour… and we even learnt some Swahili songs!
We had particular interest in the bird life in the parks and he catered perfectly for this and even kept a record of the 57 species that we saw - sharing his list at the culmination of our trip!
The lodges were beautiful with stunning gardens and swimming pools. One lodge was particularly teenage friendly with a basketball hoop, and volleyball court as well as a pool. The staff in every lodge were super welcoming, the rooms were comfortable and clean, plus the food was delicious!
The safari cruiser was reliable, comfortable and afforded great views of the parks especially when we popped the roof. We felt safe throughout, and respect for our surroundings was consistent.

Allen Tanzania Tours offers exceptional safaris with top-notch guides and excellent hospitality.
I recently went on a safari in Tanzania with Allen Tanzania Tours, visiting Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
Our tour guide, Ebenezer Allen Mnyenye, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the trip unforgettable with his expertise and friendly demeanor. We explored the breathtaking Tarangire National Park and the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, witnessing incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes.
The accommodations provided by the company were top-notch, including stays at Pazuri Inn in Arusha and Eileen's Inn in Karatu. The hospitality was exceptional, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time.
I highly recommend Allen Tanzania Tours for anyone looking to book a safari adventure. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!

Allen Mnyenye offers a well-planned, informational and thoroughly enjoyable safari experience.
To celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, we wanted to share with our children and grandchildren (ages 7-10 years) the unique natural beauty and welcoming hospitality of Tanzania. This was our third safari with Allen Tanzania Safaris and Allen outdid himself! His planning and execution of the 1500 km trip were impeccable - AGAIN! His humor and patience helped immensely with our grandchildren's enjoyment and appreciation of this special experience. Our strong endorsement of AllenTanzania Safaris is based on a 20-year relationship with Allen Mnyenye and his highly qualified and professional drivers and guides. If you are searching for an informative, well-planned, and thoroughly enjoyable safari, look no further than Allen Tanzania Safaris. You will be astounded by the experience that awaits you.

Wonderful Experience
With Allen Tanzania Safari you aren't only getting you a guide who drives you around, you are getting naturalists with up to 30 years of passion about the land they live in. I couldn't be more satisfied with the wonderful experience they gave us.

After 8 safaris, this is the best company I've worked with!
I have traveled to Africa at least two dozen time and completed 8 safaris. As professional photographer, my expectations a very high. Out of my 8 safaris, 3 have been with Allen, over the course of 20 years. This is the best testimonial for the high quality of my experiences with Allen Tanzania Safaris. Allen is a great human being and so are the members of his staff. Should I go on safari one more time, I will call Allen again. No doubt in my mind!

I do believe he knows every square meter of the Serengeti! :)
This was a very memorable visit - we saw just about every animal we could have hoped for, often several sightings. Every moment was accompanied by a knowledgable explanation of how it all fits into the broader ecosystem. I've never learned so much in a single travel experience! Highly recommended.

3 day Tanzania safari (solo)
Selecting a safari tour operator is a daunting task, and I could not have been happier with my decision. From the initial inquiry all the way through my trip the communication with Allen Tanzania Safaris was easy and quick. Silas reached out to me the day before my safari to let me know my driver's name, to confirm pickup location and lunch option for the first day. Amani was a wonderful guide, even spotting a leopard in a tree while driving that I couldn't even see when I zoomed in with my camera! He (Amani) was a wealth of information as I asked questions about places or items we saw on the way to the different parks, different animals and birds, and always communicated exactly what the plan was each day.
The lodge that Allen Tanzania Safaris use (Eileen Trees Inn) has to be one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed at, the pictures online do not do it justice. The food and service are superb!

Amazing company and guide, will recommend to everyone
Our experience with Allen far surpassed our expectations. This was a magical four days for us that we will think about for the rest of our lives and we are already planning on going back. The choices were overwhelming, with what seems like an infinite amount of tour operators existing in the area, but we were so happy with our choice. Allen's knowledge is incredible, the accommodations were clean and picturesque, the food was much more than you'd expect on safari, the car was modern and spacious (and we had it all to ourselves) and we had more intimate encounters with wildlife than I could have hoped for. Will recommend to all our family and friends.

Allen, our guide, was beyond outstanding; his depth of experience and knowledge is truly astounding.
Allen Tanzania Safaris was recommended to us by a friend. We expected Allen and his staff to be very good; however, they surpassed our expectations. They were outstanding. Allen was our guide/driver and I think he is peerless as a safari guide/driver. His nearly 30 years of safari experience and his depth of knowledge about the diverse habitats and species of the area made all the difference. Allen helped us see and identify over 150 different species of birds, 2 separate river crossings of wildebeest, rhino, and lions and lions and lions and so much more. If your interest is birds, Allen is your man. If your interest is more than simply wildlife viewing but getting a deeper understanding of the wildlife and ecosystems, Allen is your man. In addition to his extraordinary expertise as a guide, Allen is engaging, friendly, and kind - a wonderful person. His staff, Adam, Amani, and Silas were all extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledeable. In planning our trip, Silas was very responsive, flexible, detailed, and informative. His management of our itinerary was smooth and there was not a single problem or glitch. We've had a wonderful experience with Allen and his staff that we'll never forget and we've made new friends in the process.
