Kilmanjaro and Safari Tour 2016
RA Safaris have proved invaluable from start to finish. They created a terrific itinerary which they altered to suit our particular requirements.....more R&R!
The trek up Kilimanjaro was organised down to the last detail by RA Safaris. Our guides gave help when needed and explained to us about what we were seeing and going to experience. The cook created terrific dishes out of thin air and ensured that a vegetarian, a gluten intolerant and a pure carnivore were all happy! The porters could not have been more friendly and helpful. We couldn't have reached the summit without RA Safaris.
The safari we did was outstanding. We had three days during which we saw more than we could have hoped for, including a lion hunt and kill. Something I believe not many people see! Our guide on safari was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife we saw and had a great sense of humour as well.
Our accommodation was carefully chosen by RA Safaris. All our Safari Lodges were in lovely locations, were comfortable and the food delicious. Each of the four lodges we stayed in was our favourite!
Thank you RA Safaris.

The trip of a lifetime.
The service we received from RA Safaris was perfect from beginning to end. They were flexible when the size of our party changed and looked after us extremely well. Nothing was too much trouble. We climbed Kilimanjaro and went on Safari with RA Safaris and our guides were friendly, professional, helpful and knowledgeable in both cases. We felt safe and well cared for at all times. Our trip was exactly what we wanted and we were extremely grateful for the advice we were given. The trip was excellent value for money and we do not hesitate to recommend RA Safaris to anyone. I am convinced that no company could provide a better experience than RA Safaris.

Outstanding and Affordable Tanzania Safaris for Birding, Wildlife, and Cultural Experiences
I have taken 3 groups of friends over about a 12-year period and the safaris have always exceeded my expectations. The same with friends who have used RA Safaris on my recommendation. Their guides are great birders and amazing experts in animal behavior. The safari vehicles are comfortable and in good condition and the meals, lodging, and bush camps selected are excellent. I enjoy visiting many different tribal villages in addition to birding and wildlife viewing. RA Safaris will arrange the safari to accommodate the client's interest, for example to focus on birding, landscape photography, or wildlife migration or various combinations thereof. I am planning to take my young grandson and family on another RA Safari in 2017.

Kenya expedition
We booked RA Safaris for a private Kenya tour out of Nairobi for a week and visited Amboseli , Lake Navaisha and Masai Mara. The trip went exactly as planned and we got to see much more than anticipated. James - our driver and guide - was wonderful and made sure we saw everything ( got the big 5 !). Always up close to the animals and gave us plenty of time . Nothing was rushed. Lodges were well above expectations with great food and magic rooms. Highly recommend this company.

Awesome east African experience because of a locally owned company.
Right from the first email I knew RA Safaris was the way to go. Gideon and Ellie, two of the owners custom made an experience to suit our time and budget. The driver / guide, Selahe and Katoyi, the cook ensured we were always well catered for. Food was excellent, maybe even too much. Selahe was an excellent driver and went out of his way to take us to where we wanted to go. His knowledge of birds and his understanding of where the animals may be and ability to spot animals is first class. I would not hesitate to recommend RA Safaris if you want a truly African experience and I much prefer to support locally owned tour operators than foreign ones. Keep up the good work and would love to see you again.

Very good experience in Tanzania with RA Safaris
We collected over 20 quotations from different agencies before we go to Tanzania, the price from RA is the lowest, and we were afraid the quality is not good because of the low price. But the actual experience is very good, the service from RA is really great value for money. our driver&guider Omer and chef Meik is very professional. we will choose RA again if we go to Tanzania in future.
Once in a life time
Excellent safari team. Our guide Elly is a very thoughtful, friendly and professional person, without him, we could not make this unforgettable experience. At beginning , Gideon has provided a lot of help with the itinary. They are very patient and kind person. I asked for a pick-up from the bus station to my hotel in Arusha.(When transferred from Kenya). The shuttle bus arrived late, they have waited for me for more than 1 hour, after we met each other, I realized that the hotel was only 5 minute driving from the station. They had known that upon my arrival and they still waited me. That worth choosing them again when I come to Tanxania next time.Tanzania is a very beautiful country, you must come to see the amazing nature, to feel the differences and relations between the species.

Unbelievable Adventure!
This truly was a once in a lifetime experience. Seeing the great migration first hand is something I will never forget. Nature at its finest with some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen. Amazing experiences of lions eating their kill and taking shade under our vehicle. More elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions than I ever expected to see...and so close!!! Our guides were the BEST. I've never left a trip so desperately wanting to stay longer.

Amazing experience
This trip was better than I ever could have imagined! Everything was planned perfectly, from the accommodations, transportation, food, and overall service. The guides were knowledgeable of all the animals we were able to see, and willing to answer every question (no matter how many times we asked the same question). Our two guides went above and beyond to ensure we saw everything, and got the most out of the experience. This experience exceed all of my expectations, and I would highly recommend RA Safaris to anyone who is even considering the trip!

Unforgettable safari!
This is perhaps the best journey we (my wife and me) have ever had. The consultant was very helpful and made a convenient and game-rich itinerary for us. We have spent 6 days for game-viewing and 3 days at Zanzibar. The guide-driver, Omary, was nice and knowledgeable of the wildlife. He took great effort in trying to take us to the places where large animals were to haunt. During the entire journey, there was no problem in hotel booking, internal flights and other local transportation. Indeed a reliable safari agency.
