World class guides! The only way go on safari in Tanzania.
I really can't say enough about my experience with Quest Horizon Safaris. My grandmother had gone on 2 previous trips with Naiman at Quest. She has been a lifelong student of African wildlife and send me and her three other grandchildren on a trip to Tanzania this August. To make sure we were in the best possible hands, she booked the trip with Quest.
From start to finish, the trip was incredible. First class service, impeccable and varied accommodations, and an unwavering commitment to gives us the best experience possible. Naiman, our guide for the duration of our 8 day trip, greeted us with a huge welcoming smile at the airport. After a night at the African Tulip in Arusha, we headed into the parks, spending 7 days making our way through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyana, and the Central and Northern Serengeti.
Each day brought beautiful new landscapes, wildlife, and stunning accommodations. Naiman is a true expert on wildlife in the park, and I can't think of a single question we asked he couldn't answer or animal he couldn't identify and speak to at length. Naiman has a wonderfully kind and patient character. He was always willing to adjust the schedule or plan to meet our requests, including making last minute changes to our itinerary so we could witness the wildebeest crossing at the Mara River. We enjoyed many lovely meals together and were very sad to say goodbye.
Naiman is a truly fantastic person and Quest Horizons provided my family and me a once in a lifetime experience that we'll all never forget.

Simply amazing!!!
Since me and my friend decided to go on our first Safari in August, an exciting and new experience started from arranging the program until being back home. After contacting Quest because of a friend's recommendation, the arranging became easy and they gave us the confidence from the first time to give on their hands what it was going to be the experience of our lives.
Emmanuelle and Naiman were working efficiently and patiently during 3 months, dealing with numerous changes in the program that we proposed. Finally, we got a totally personalized Safari, with our own itinerary and combining diferent type of accommodations according to our budget.
They both were in touch with us all the time, also during Safari and even being with a highly qualified guide,just to be sure everyting was ok.
We met a friendly staff in Arusha, Isaak is an expert guide, English and Spanish speaker that looked after us to have a nice experience and being sure we were enjoying. He's an expert of animal's behavior, so he was fast finding them and he could explain us many things about them. Pascal, our cooker, was so kind. He was preparing very nice meals, different every day, and nutritionally balanced.
Actually, I got impressed, the food was tasty and delicious, and how Pascal could get it with just a portable camping stove...? No idea. But even better that in the tentded camps and lodges we visited after.
The experience was unforgettable! These guys are very professional, they handle it confidently being sure everything was running smoothly. They help us with transits from Nairobi first and to Zanzibar after Safari and they took care of us all the time.
I'll contact them next time, for sure.

Most amazing trip of my life! 10 out of 10
We travelled to Tanzania in August and had the trip of a lifetime. My grandmother had gone on Safari in Tanzania twice before and had Naiman as her guide both times. Naiman was our guide too and he couldn't have been better; he was so knowledgeable about the animals, environment, culture, etc. and would have answers for all of our questions! Naiman knew what we wanted to see and made changes to our itinerary to make this happen. The accommodations we stayed in were spectacular, and always provided us with delicious food and relaxation at the end of a long day in the bush. I couldn't believe how many different animals we saw, and Naiman knew the parks so well he was able to bring us to certain places he knew we would see specific animals. The trip overall was incredible and we didn't want to leave. I recommend Quest Horizon Safaris to anyone who wants an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania. 10 out of 10 for everything!

The experience of a lifetime
Everything has been absolutely perfect.
The service. The comms. The accomodations, especially Kubu Kubu in the Serengeti.
Sifuni, our guide, has exceeded any expectation and without him nothing would have been the same. He is fun, kind, extremely knowledgeable, discrete, keen to put in the extra mile to deliver the most memorable and unforgettable experience to his guests.
We have seen the big 5, with the thinks only from the distance in the NgoroNgoro crater because that's the time of the year when they migrate so not easy to spot them.
The Serengeti is a magical place, certainly my favorite before NgoroNgoro and Manyara lake even though they are beautiful too.
The emotions a safari delivers are endless and impossible to describe. Quest Horizon just made it even better. I certainly recommend them for your holiday in Tanzania.

We could not have had a better safari experience.
We arranged our visit to Arusha and the game parks through Frida Sway at Urafiki Lodge near Arusha. She welcomed our family and provided a comfortable, friendly home from home for our stay.
She put us in touch with Quest and we had a provisional plan before we arrived in Tanzania. After arrival we discussed further options and our final plan included Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
Our guide, Salim, was excellent....very knowledgeable, friendly, fun and completely reliable. His English was perfect and his knowledge of animals and birds was extraordinary. We shared New Year's Eve with him and the staff and other guests at a bush camp and brought in 2017 round a campfire. An unforgettable experience.
The accommodations arranged for at Country Lodge, Karatu, and the bush camp were ideal and everyone made us feel very welcome. Thank you, Salim!
Quest also arranged a local community coffee tour where we learned a lot and, again, felt very well looked after.
Thanks to Frida and Urafiki Lodge introducing us to Quest we could not have had a better safari experience.
Thank you, everyone.

Superb and personalized service result in a trip filled with pleasant surprises and majestic wonders
My daughter was nearing the completion of a 6 month internship in Arusha and we decided to join her at the end her stay in Africa with a safari through the Serengeti and a beach holiday in Zanzibar. She put me in touch with Quest Horizon Safaris. From our initial contact for the planning process, I was very pleased with the professionalism and genuine desire to create an adventure to satisfy both our needs and budget.
On the day we were to begin the safari, our guide, Sifuni and our cook, Joseph
arrived at the agreed upon time and quickly and efficiently loaded up the clean, comfortable safari vehicle. Along the drive to the NgoroNgoro Crater, Sifuni was able to answer our never ending questions about the Maasai people, local customs, indigenous flora and fauna...etc. It became clear quickly that he was a very experienced and knowledgeable guide. That would have been enough, but he also had a deep respect and passion for the culture and wildlife which became most evident when we were on the game drives. He had this uncanny ability to spot a leopard's tail swinging from a tree at quite a distance, and often we would be one of the first safari vehicles on the scene of magnificent wildlife. We even had the incredible experience of seeing a pair of elusive and shy rhinoceros. Mention must be made for our talented cook, Joseph, who magically produced delicious and satisfying meals at the campsites....hearty and inventive breakfasts, lunches and creative (considering the lack of kitchen facilities) dinners including pizza and bisquits baked over coals and even a stuffed roast chicken, and the pleasant surprise of desserts!
We saw many species of animals (too numerous to mention all), but our most memorable included majestic herds of elephants, graceful giraffes, prides of lions, a tree filled with the unusual marabou stork and of course the magnificent cats!
Quest Horizon also coordinated the necessary flights from the Seregenti airstrip to Zanzibar. An amazing holiday!
I am not only extremely satisfied but absolutely delighted with our safari/beach holiday experiences through Quest Horizon Safaris. Highly and enthusiastically recommended!

All was as expected, but driver was simply a driver, not a guide
Hotels and services were exactly as agreed when organising the trip.
Everything went fine except for the fact that the driver was simply acting as a driver, and not doing much explanations about animals, landscape, people, local customs...
Even if he was always polite and correct, we expected more interaction or information from his side, to really profit our trip and learn about the place and the people of Tanzania.
Appart from that, the trip was ok.
