My Amazing 9-Day Safari
I had booked a 9-day safari with Authentic African Safaris.
I were guided very well by Murtaza at the USA office. The safari details were fully customized as per my requirements, with fine tunings done by Murtaza, as he has years of experience in the business. His knowledge of the country and the park encouraged me to use them rather than the other company that was recommended to me by my friend. Also dealing with a tour operator, with their local offices in USA was a piece of mind!
On arrival at Kilimanjaro Int. Airport, we were met by the driver who transferred us to the overnight hotel. We stayed at the Arusha Coffee Lodge, and the place was just out of the world. the first glance of Africa and we knew that we had made a great decision to come to Tanzania and this was going to be an adventure of a lifetime!
Murtaza's brother came to meet us and that was another relief! One of the owners coming to see just the 2 of us! they really care about each and every client.
The lodges and the food was just a touch above the best. Tarangire Treetop, Manor at Ngorongoro and in Serengeti - the Migration Camp and the Pioneer Camp - the experience was just amazing. My wife is a vegan, and i had informed Murtaza beforehand and he took care of it all the way, from the packed punches to the dinner at the camps. The food was just delicious, an African touch to all the food made it all worthwhile.
All in all, we are very satified with the tour. Our guide Felix had a third eye somewhere, he would see animals miles away! Very knowledgeable, and spoke English very well. He had a great sense of humor!
In short I have no problems is suggesting that anyone using Authentic African Safaris, will get a great service.
Safari to Tanzania is expensive. This is due to the fact that all these camps are located in the middle of the bush, and the infrastructure is not like the western world. Thus you pay a premium for getting all the comforts in the middle of a jungle surrounded by animals. You would go to Europe for the same number of days at a much lower cost - but then can you compare Europe to African Wildlife? There is no comparison.

The best value and the best experience of the wild savannah with the Authentic African Safari Team
I loved the way we were treated by the Authentic African Safari team. Initially I searched many companies to get a quote for the safari as I was planning to go on Safari with my family of four. I found Authentic African Safari to be most reasonably priced. I was further delighted by the team for making us most comfortable. The accommodation was excellent and the guides were superb. I recommend this company to animal loving folks who are seeking this adventure.

Incredible Tanzania Safari with AAS
This was my 2nd trip to Africa, and our first with Authentic African Safaris. I must say they were excellent. Tanzania was fantastic. We were very lucky with the animals in the Ngorongoro Crater. We had the opportunity to go into the Serengeti for 3 days. It was an incredible experience. The tour guide John, was so lovely he paid great attention to detail and was incredibly knowledgeable about each of the National Park and the camps, it created a lovely bond, and they even had some surprises for us along the way. Overall we had a trip of a lifetime and all aspects of our travel were attended from airport pickups to accommodations up to our flights back to the US as well as the final wrap up call after we arrived home from our safari. If you want to have a fantastic trip to Tanzania - i would highly recommend Authentic guys to serve you!

Absolutely awesome and fantastic 4 days 3 nights all inclusive safari adventure with family
1) Great help in the planning stage and good recommendations within our budget - was made easy since one of the locations for the operator was in Dallas, TX, USA. The operator understood clearly the holiday and vacation requirements and made it easy
2) Owner of the operator personally greeted us in Arusha, Tanzania and shared his personal experience
3) Awesome tour guides - knowledgeable and english speaking and able to explain details and the eco-system of the serengeti
4) Saw all the Big 5 of Africa, a lot of other wildlife and birds,
5) The Kisura campsite was a great place - stayed 2 nights in the serenora area of serengeti and the experience of hearing hyenas at night, and seeing giraffes near the tents and leopard near the mess just made us aware that we are the strangers and the animals own this land -
6) The whole game drive experience, seeing lions, lion cubs, elephants with their young, wildebeast and zebras together and the whole experience made the TV come to life in front of us.
7) Great advice was given to us on things to do before getting to Tanzania - like getting yellow fever innoculation, binoculars, cameras, deet, malaria protection, etc
Would definitely use Authentic African Safaris again and recommend to anyone thinking of safari to Tanzania
