The ultimate experience of nature and a culture
How does one share such an experience? Having a guide who not only knows where to find the exotic animals in their natural habitat, but can mimic their calls to bring them right up to you. Every single day we experienced sights and sounds we thought possible only through Discovery Channel. Each evening we went to bed thinking, "It can't get any better than this." But it always did. The immersion in nature, surrounded by knowledgeable guides who can talk in depth about each species, but can also teach about the people and their culture... Simply amazing!
On the flip side, almost embarrassingly, we were treated like royalty from the moment we were met at the airport until the time our bags were checked for our departure. Each location's accommodations and food were comfortable for the even the most discerning Western traveler.
We were so positively overwhelmed with the experience we sent our adult children and their mates on the same safari with this company the next year. Their reaction was exactly the same.

Excellent Safari, Incredible Guide and Service
Overall the safari was great from start to finish. Everything from the lodging, the food, the company, the locations scouted and the knowledge of our guide.
Below are the key areas we considered when rating our experience with Quest Horizon...
Knowledge of the guide of the area and environment - Very knowledgeable. Knowing endless facts and patient enough to repeat the same things over and over when each person asked the question in various forms. Knew animal and bird types, where to find the best view of the wildlife, able to scout locations of lion prides, spotting wildlife we could not even see with binoculars, etc
Camps - Everything is organized, clean and comfortable. We found that the camps surpassed even the hotels and top accommodations we have experienced in west and east Africa.
Food - Food at the camp and safaris were very good, it was not really what I would consider camping (accommodation or the food). It was a shock how good the food was prepared and presented given the fact you are in the “bush”. The packed lunches were specially made to accommodate dietary restrictions (we are super particular) and they were specially made and every request was granted with a smile on their face.

Great time in Arusha region with Quest Horizon
My family and I had a very good time in the Arusha region with Quest Horizon. Their team was reliable, resourceful and flexible so that we could enjoy every moment of our stay. We particularly appreciated that the guides were knowledgable both during the 1 day cultural tour and the 3 days safari in Arusha National Park and Ngorongoro. I warmly recommend this operator.

Great trip to the Northern circuit
In advance to our stay in Tanzania our intention was to go for a Safari trip, but we did not want to book in advance. So we went to Arusha and asked in the lodge to make contact to a recommended and well known tour operator. We met the staff of Quest Horizon at the lodge and described in a short meeting our expectations.
A tour which exactly met our expectations was offered to us, so we agreed to start on the following day to a private camping safari.
Early next morning we were picked up by our guide (Naiman) and the chef (Joseph). The car was full of equipment for the tour and we arrived well at our first destination. Naiman (holding a masters degree in wild life management) is a great driver and he guided us extremely well through the wild life of Tanzania. Any of our question (we asked millions of questions) was answered and we learned a lot.
During our game drives Joseph stayed at the camp and prepared very health and well tasting meals for us. We were impressed about the quality and taste of food, which we did not expect in the bush.
All in all we can say, that the stay overshoot our expectations and the team of Quest Horizon made a really unique experience for us.
Thank you very much!

memories for life
We had the pleasure to have Naiman and Pasco as our guide and chef for a 5 day safari. we booked our trip from Sweden and Naiman was always available answering our question. In Arusha, he picked us up in a almost new 4x4 safari car and we started our journey. i didn’t have any expectations really…this trips started as a “check in the box, bucket list must do before I die” kind of thing, but thanks to Naimans knowledge and enthusiasm during this 5 days, my view and interest changed completely and today I Watch Discovery chanel just to learn more.
I still can’t believe all the things I’ve learned and the respect I’ve gained for nature, wild life and maasai people. I probably asked 2784637856 questions per day, and Naiman did his very best to fill in the gaps (I’m in awe for his patience haha!)
I was so fascinating seeing Naiman and Pasco having this passion for what they do. After 12 years on the field, you would think that one would get pretty tired of lions sleeping or Pumbas running around. But not Naiman. He was as excited as we were and sometimes even more than us :) To have that in a guide is for me priceless.
We had delicious home cooked meal every day ( I still dream about the soup we had the first night) and were never, not for a minute hungry or trusty.
Last but not least, our car did not break or had flat tire (more common that you’ll think…), thanks to the calm and safe driving of Naiman.
Not only can I recommend Quest horizon, I look forward to take another trip very soon again.

Good price and nice service!
We had a very good safari when we went with quest horizon and could organis the trip exactly as we wanted! They were very helpful and everything during the trip was included such as tents, mattresses, pillows, food and water! The cook that came with us made delicious food and usually 2 or 3 courses! We got to see all the animals we wanted and when we told the guide what we were interested in he made sure to keep extra lookout for those animals!

An with any doubt unforgettable journey. We where very lucky to see all The big five and many more animals. Our guide was very well informed about every area and animal. We felt excellent service during our whole safari. They lived up to more than any of our expectations!

Amazing. The guides were knowledgeable, the cook was fantastic and the trip was spectacular!
The communications were a bit slow because of the time differences, not a company specific issue and if you are planning a trip you should be aware that it takes several days to get emails back and forth.
Also, take a towel. For some reason we didn't think about towels and it just makes your life easier to have a towel!
As far as the actual safari we were pleasantly surprised at almost every turn. We loved our guide and our cook. They were fun to be around and really made the effort to interact and to make sure that we were having a good time and getting a good safari. The number of animals we saw was incredible. We feel like we really lucked out with our trip and driver because we got to see all of the big cats numerous times and also saw more than one black rhino.
We highly recommend Naiman and his team of excellent safari guides. Haji and Pascal and Nelson are truly great guys to spend a week with in the bush!

Quest Horizon fulfilled our expectations and much more!
This was a trip of a lifetime and Quest Horizon certainly made it just that! They really made sure all our requests were met and nothing was too much trouble. As a local company, they were able to ensure our comfort and we had the vehicle to ourselves. On a full day's game drive that meant we had space to move around with plenty of room for our bags, cameras etc - and we got the best, unrestricted views of the wonderful scenery and of course the animals. The places we stayed in recommended by Quest were wonderful, also better than expected. Our guide Kisali was amazing. His knowledge of the country's history, the geography and the animals was very extensive and his animal spotting was second to none! We saw so much more than we hoped because of him and he was a pleasure and fun to be with - a lovely man! I have many happy memories of this wonderful trip and would definitely recommend Quest Horizon to anyone considering a similar adventure. Couldn't ask for more - Quest is Best!! Asante sana!
