Awesome experience with FB Tanzania Expeditions
I went to Tanzania with my girlfriend on September 2019 for a couple of weeks. We invest 1 week climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with the best people you would ever go with. The whole teem was incredible, starting by Francis and Cris, best guides ever, folliwing by the rest 8 people in the team. They defenitly made the adventure an unforgettable experience. The took care of us, they explained to us every little detail on the way, and at the end, the make us get the top, from zero to hero! non stop to the top!
Extra special for us, cause once we were on the top, I proposed marry to my furure wife, so as you can imagine, no way to be happier.
The safaris were also very nice, we did Taranguire and Ngorongoro in a couple of days, both are great, specially Ngorongoro.
We felt confortable, cared, loved, at every moment by Franky, a big person, who I really hope to see again.

Incredible Experience. Treated Like Family!
I did a 4 day Safari with Tanzania Expeditions in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. Upon meeting my guide at the airport. I knew this was going to be an incredible experience. The safari vehicle was wicked cool, fully stocked with water and even had a power bar to charge camera batteries WOW. Our guide was awesome, great sense of humour and very knowledgeable. He had over 15 years of experience and was basically a living encyclopedia as he knew absolutely everything about the wildlife and the region. He took us to all of the best spots to see wildlife and we saw everything we had hoped to see and more! This experience was literally a dream come true, and I could not imagine a better company to fulfill this experience with. The bonus of booking with Tanzania Expeditions is taking solace in knowing that I am supporting a local tourism business and by doing so , I am directly helping to feed local families and supporting the local economy. If your still reading this...BOOK IT! You will not be disappointed 100/10 <3

Perfect Safari!
We had a dream safari with Tanzanian Expeditions. The team is very professional and responsive, and we felt extremely safe and well taken care of the entire time we were in Tanzania. They were flexible with the itinerary, switching out one of the parks and taking me tanzanite shopping as requested on the first day.
Our guide, Ibrahim, was very knowledgeable and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. He frequently saw animals while driving that we could barely find with binoculars they provided and specific instructions. He was also good at predicting their movements and positioning the vehicle for our photos.
I got pricing for six day, mid-range safaris from about 15-20 companies and Tanzania Expeditions was very reasonably priced. The tour was good value for what we spent. The lodges & tented camps we stayed in were nicer than I expected from the photos online and the food was very good at all of them. We had no vehicle issues and it seemed well maintained.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience with this company and I would definitely book with them again if we’re lucky enough to come back to Tanzania! A huge thank you to Alex, Ibrahim, and the team for a really special trip.

Exceptional Safari Experience for a Family--Comparable to Best Tour Companies in the World
Tanzania Expeditions is an exceptional, locally-owned, Tanzanian-based travel agency specializing in moderately priced safaris. I am a World Studies Professor at Miami Dade College, and I have travelled throughout the world, including 100 countries, more than 50 African trips, and 10 safari experiences in east and south Africa. Tanzania Expedition’s customer care, price, tour guides, constant communication and itinerary are as outstanding as much higher priced luxury safari operators like Micato or Kensington Tours. Not to mention that by using Tanzania Expeditions, you are directly benefitting the local Tanzanian economy.
My family of four booked a private 9-day safari with 4-day Zanzibar beach extension. Even though we booked our tour relatively late during the busiest tourist season for the Great Wildebeest Migration, Tanzania Expeditions very quickly reserved available rooms and offered us options, including periodically checking on if closer available rooms to our sites became available. The service was friendly and impeccable as we altered our plans about 5 times before arriving in Tanzania. From the moment we were picked up at the Kilimanjaro Airport, our service was superb. All three of our guides went out of their way to make sure that we had a wonderful experience, including checking in on each of us as we had traveler’s stomach ailments or tiredness. Our guide listened to our interests and what we wanted to see, and amazingly accommodated our requests every day. It was if our tour guides had super secret knowledge of where the animals would be situation. Each guide was also exceptional in checking in and taking an interest in my children’s interests (ages 13 and 16). When we needed a bathroom in the middle of the national parks of Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire, our guide found restrooms in a matter of 15-30 minutes. When we asked for more time to shop, the guides gave us more time; and when we needed more time to watch a particular animal, the guide watched with us. Every night we had an overview with our tour guide to determine what we wanted to do the next day and make plans. And our safari jeep was hand cleaned every night even in the middle of the Serengeti at least 100 miles from the nearest town. If we needed a slower day with less animal viewing, our guides made it happen.
And the price for our safari and moderate lodge accommodations with in-room bathrooms and glamping tents in the Serengeti were excellent—especially considering that we only gave the company 6 weeks notice of our trip. Almost all of the lodges had all you can eat, healthy food with a combination of European continental and local Tanzanian cuisine. The food was very good to excellent at each spot, and there was enough variety that even my picky eating child was happy. The price for our two week, private excursion was nearly $4-5,000 less than most other luxury and high-end safaris without sacrificing the services and amenities.
After using some of the most exclusive tour companies on the planet in the past few years, I would most highly recommend Tanzania Expeditions.

Tanzania & Zanzibar trip
We, a group of fifteen well traveled people, visited Tanzania for 8 days and Zanzibar island for 3 days in July 2017, hosted by Tanzania Expeditions tour operator. We all loved it so much and voted it as the best trip we ever went over the years. We had so much fun, took lots of beautiful close up pictures of wild animals, and the beautiful country scenes. Thanks to all well informed and experienced drivers, we had a wonderful time, beyond our pre-trip expectations. Their service is excellent, well tuned to our needs. Overall, I would strongly recommend them without any reservation. Hakuna Matata

Mt. Meru Claimb
My grown daughter and I had a fine experience climbing Mt. Meru. Tanzania Expeditions did a great job for us on the 4 day climb and we made it to the summit. We chose Meru over Kilimanjaro in order to spend fewer days on the climb. But Meru has some exposed areas that were a little concerning and I got a scraped knee when I fell on loose rock during the descent. In retrospect, I would do Kilimanjaro instead of Meru. I would use Tanzania Expeditions again.
Tanzania in April 2017
My wife and I took a seven day safari with Tanzania Expeditions towards the end of April 2017. We travel quite extensively. That's said not to boast, but to give context that we have experienced many different sights and tours around the world. Our experience with Justin (Owner) and Tanzania Expeditions was truly phenomenal. Justin was extremely patient and responsive during the process of setting up the ideal, customized itinerary for the two of us. We were able to spend time in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Emmanuel, is definitely one to request if you do go on a safari with TE. He is extremely experienced, knowledgeable about most everything we saw and also maintains an enthusiasm that is contagious. Emmanuel became more like a friend as the safari progressed, and he exceeded all of our expectations.
We were fortunate to visit during the rainy season and yet didn't experience more than an hour of rain during our seven days. We saw countless numbers of animals and the lodges that Justin organized were definitely high end.
Booking with Justin and TE comes highly recommended from me with no concerns or reservations.
