Reliable, comfortable budget alternative
We used SED Adventures for 8 days with a group of 37 people. This was the second time we used SED, and once again we were pleased! The tour included safari, study visits to an orphanage, a hospital and a coffee plantatio, accomodatiob for 7 nights and transportation. We were all quite impressed with how SED managed to arrange everything in accordance with our needs as a big group. The food was delicious and the guides were friendly. If we have the chance, we will use SED again!

Excellent service!
I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania with SED. While SED offers package tours, I preferred to customize the entire trip just for me. In sum, it was the BEST overseas travel experience I ever had (and I have traveled overseas a lot, not on tours). Elifasi, the manager, arranged all accommodations and itineraries to my specification, and he personally made sure that I was satisfied while I was there. SED was also very flexible and accommodating about my requests to make changes to the itinerary while traveling, and very honest and transparent about the charges or refunds involved in making these changes. I wanted to do a lot of hiking and see local cultures while I was there instead of just being driven to watch animals, and SED and Elifasi totally made this happen. When I twisted my left ankle during one of these hikes in the mountains, they took me to the hospital immediately, and made sure everything was ok and I was able to continue my travel. All in all, I am completely satisfied with SED, and I'd recommend them to anyone who's traveling to East Africa.

Excellent Tanzania Tour Company
SED Adventures is an excellent choice for anyone who wishes to plan their own itinerary. We were able to work with the company and plan our own trip, length of stay, lodging options, and even Kilimanjaro hiking route options. Our guides were excellent especially our safari guide who able to answer our numerous questions regarding animals and culture. We have wonderful memories of our trip to Africa. Please consider using SED Adventures for a trip tailor made to fit your needs.

Very Accomodating and Great Guide
I made reservations for a week long safari by e-mail and all my requests were handled quickly and professionally. We were on a strick budget so SED took my wish list and put together a wonderful trip. We stayed in a tented camp, a lodge, and a private campground. Our cook was very good and helpful and our guide, Apollo, was knowledgable and very helpful. One of our group had been a national park ranger in the United States and he was also very impressed with Apollo.
The night before we left Arusha a representative from SED and Apollo met with us and went over the itinerary and asked each of us what we wanted to see and experience on the safari. One of our group wanted to see a lot of birds so Apollo showed up the next morning with very good birding books (he is very knowledgable in his own right).

Tanzania with the world best guides of SED-Adventures!
We have been a group of 11 people who travelled through Tanzania. We were lucky, that our friend Martin recommended us to SED – Adventures Tours. He traveled with SED some years ago and was exited.
Now we are also absolutely enthusiastic about East Africa, the animals, the people, and our guides who let us participate at the wonders there. SED made us feel to be welcome in a big family. Thank you Apollo, Anton, Laser, Edgar, Walter, Anna, Alois, Mohamed for your care about us. Your ears were always opened for our wishes – and you realized all of them.
The world best guides Apollo and Anton accompanied us from Mushoma to Dar es Salaam.
Highlights were the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro-Crater. Apollo and Anton showed and explained us Elephants, Hippopotamus, Lions, Buffalos, Zebras, Giraffes, Cheetahs, Warthogs, Hyenas, Jackals, Waterbucks, Monkeys, Mongooses, Gnus, Gazelles, Impalas and much more wild animals. We were always astonished about their good eyes which discovered the animals long time before us. Thank you Apollo and Anton for your perfect guidance and the huge patience with us!
In the hills of Usambara Anna and Alois showed us the wonderful nature and the viewing point Irente. The Lunch was amazing!
SED arranged for us also a stay in Sansibar- in the wonderful Coral-Rock hotel.
We can highly recommend SED –Adventures with their professional guides and the fair prices to all people who want to be in touch with Africa. The chief Walter let us know, that he supports a nursery school with a part of the income of his company. Another further reason to travel with SED!

Fantastic safari thanks to SED Adventures!
An unforgetable 5 day safari. Very helpful and reliable organisation. They organized everything for us, even accomodation before and after the safari. Also our bustickets from Dar to Arusha. Our driver Anthony was always helpful and had a great deal of knowledge about all of the wildlife and local life. Also our cook Alex suprised us every day with delicious meals. We would definitely recommend SED Adventures to anyone. They were friendly, reliable and good organized. Many thanks to them for the warm welcome and for their personal goodbye at the end of the trip.

Great safari, very friendly team, above expectations
I had an amazing experience in my Safari with SED adventures. We went to Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire. I did the booking online, had a Skype meeting with them where they asked what I wanted to do and see so they could make a tailor made safari experience for us.The day before the safari the SED team came to our hotel to meet us, give us instructions and talk about the safari. Already in the first 15 minutes we saw lions hunting just by the car and our friendly guide Anton always knew where to go to see some action. We saw huge groups of more than 100 elephants from very close and all other animals we wanted to see. Anton knew everything about the region and the animals, he told us facts and answered all our questions. Accomodation was great, with friendly people and great food.
Our Experience in Tanzania was extraordinary and a big part of this is thanks to the SED team, that are our local friends in Arusha. I highly reccomend them for a unforgetable and entretaining safari experience.
