They make Arusha become a second home for me.
他们家非常热情友好。因为我在以色列居住，这段时间的战况让出行变得不稳定，他们也承诺可以为我无限保留定金，直到我完成我的行程。落地接机以后如果有时间，Juliana 会带你去Arusha 最有名的African art gallery 参观。我的safari行程是2天Serengeti central，1天Ngorongoro crater和1天Materuni waterfalls with hot spring，价格合理。safari 的向导经验十足，尽全力让我们更好地观看动物。结束safari 后，MAMA Anna仍会为你提供帮助，比如我想要买当地的水果，她让向导Edson 带我出行，并帮我砍价。非常推荐！
Their team is very warm and friendly. Because I live in Israel, the war situation during this period has made travel unstable. They promised to keep my deposit indefinitely until I complete my trip. If there is time after landing, Juliana will take you to visit the most famous African art gallery in Arusha. My safari itinerary is 2 days in Serengeti central, 1 day in Ngorongoro crater and 1 day in Materuni waterfalls with hot spring, and the price is reasonable. The safari guide is very experienced and do his best to let us see the animals better. After the safari, MAMA Anna will still provide you with help. For example, when I wanted to buy local fruits, she asked the guide Edson to take me out and help me bargain. Highly recommended!
Great experience!
The Safari with Anna was pretty good. All staff was very friendly, open to suggestions concerning the safari itinerary, taking care of individual needs. We felt there was an amazing and professional communication beforehands which made it easy for us to decide for Anna's safari.
Be aware of extra costs (3,5% ) when paying via pesapal! Nevertheless we found it a fair price considering it includes food, safari car, guides and even a first free night in Anna's hotel. We definitely can recommend this safari agency!

Best experience EVER!
Imagine being welcomed and treated like part of the family from the very first moment. Anna and Julianna are examples of wonderful people who do their work with love and treat people with the utmost purity. What's more, they're always there for you, for every question you have and they'll welcome you from the first moment to the last as if you were part of the family. Their care and professionalism is incredible. I celebrated my birthday there and had the best time of my life. They didn't leave me alone for a minute and it was full of nice surprises. If you're traveling alone, there's no doubt that this is the right agency for you to feel safe in Tanzania. Amazing!

Mama Anna goes the extra mile, and proves she is the mother of Safari
When our bus arrived 3 hours late in Arusha my girlfriend and I were panicking, without any WiFi or mobile service we thought our safari tour was over before it even began. From the moment we got out of the bus Mama Anna and her team got in contact with us and picked us up within a matter of minutes. We were stranded and all alone and Mama Anna saved us and gave us the most unforgettable trip of our lives. Our group were people of our age with whom we still hold contact, the communication went flawlessly, the meals were exquisite and everything was managed to perfection. On top of all of this when we were back from our dream holiday we were met with Mama Anna's daughter and son and their professional driver. We were a little stressed thinking we would not make it in time to the airport in Kilimanjaro and once again Mama Anna and her team proved they will go the extra mile. After a quick dinner they zoomed through the traffic and we were there in no time. Truly an exceptional experience and I recommend everyone to book with Mama Anna, for she truly is the one and only mother of Safari.

Absolutely fantastic
Anna and her children went above and beyond to welcome us and did everything right to help us organize the perfect safari trip.
We had some awesome local meals at her Inn, had a great guide for safari who is patient and responsible, and with some luck we saw a lot of animals including a glimpse of the migration.
Anna worked so hard to make sure everything goes smoothly for us - she checked in with us to make sure our asks are fulfilled. When we had down time, she also added a new activity for us in town so we get some additional cultural exposure outside of the pre-set itinerary. All these efforts she did it out of her genuine hospitality and kindness.
Highly recommend booking with Anna. This has been an unforgettable experience for us :)

Amazing experience!
Anna and her family are the most welcoming hosts ever. Anna is extremely helpful and always available to answer questions. She truly went above and beyond to ensure I had an unforgettable trip, even checking in on me after the safari to make sure everything was okay.
Anna’s daughters are also very friendly and made me feel like part of the family. They showed me around the city on the day of my arrival and helped me to get a local SIM card.
The safari was an amazing experience, and I couldn’t have chosen a better tour operator. Thank you, Anna and the team, for helping me to have the most memorable birthday of my life. ❤️

Incredible team❤️
We had a fantastic time on our 6-day safari. Everything was very well organized, and the communication with Anna was seamless - she was always available to assist us. Anna and her family were incredibly caring and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They were exceptionally generous and ensuring we were well taken care of. Even after the safari ended, they continued to check in, asking if everything was okay and offering their help.
Our tour guide, Jonas, was highly experienced and went above and beyond to create unforgettable memories for us. His instincts and keen eyesight were truly remarkable, allowing us to spot a wide variety of animals. Jonas is like a walking encyclopedia - he knows everything about all the animals, not just the popular ones. He was kind, funny, and did his absolute best to show us as much as possible.
In summary, this was an unforgettable experience, made even better by the incredible care and attention we received from such an attentive company❤️
