A fantasic trip for the whole family
5/5

We just came back from an amazing first trip to Tanzania. Tanzania Explorer tailor made a trip for us according to who we are, what we wanted, time of year and budget and we were all very satisfied with the result. Two families with children aged from 8 to 15 all had a fantastic and magical time specially in Ngorongoro and Serengeti, and we would not hesitate recommending this to others. Our guides were very knowledgeable and great travel companions and we definitely would like to go back some day!

Amazing Kilimanjaro Trek and Safari experience 2017
5/5

I had recently the most amazing first trip to Tanzania.
Thanks to Tanzania Explorer and their fantastic mountain guides and crew, our group of 13 friends managed to reach the roof of Africa, Uhuru Peak, on the 12.02.17. The successful trek on Kilimanjaro consisted of 7 days on the beautiful and lush Lemosho route, (they also timed the summit for us to have a full moon on the summit night) followed by 7day safari adventure.
We had 1 night in Mkomazi National Park. Since this was my first safari experience, I was overwhelmed to see all wild life in general, but the highlight of this trip was to see elephant’s and cheetahs on my first day.
Next stop was Amani Nature Reserve, known for their endemic species of reptiles and amphibians. We had a chameleon night walk, and our excellent guide showed us the chameleons that are hard to spot during the day, but at night, glowed white in the torchlight and other amphibians.
Final destination was Saadani National Park and 2 nights at Saadani Safari River Lodge. Here we had a great and relaxing stay with top of the notch service and accommodation with perfect scenery next the famous Wami River. Eating breakfast and watch hippos on the other side of the river whilst an elephant was walking past, was just the perfect start in the morning.

Thanks to Tanzania Explorer, their superb guides & management who prepared us and planned the entire trip from A-Z. You managed to exceed my expectations and I had the trip of a lifetime, thank you for this amazing adventure in Tanzania.

Asante sana
I will be back ;)

Amazing Experience
5/5

A big thank you to Tanzania Explorer for making this safari an experience we will never forget. We were in contact with both Sondre and Vivi before, during and after the trip. They always responded very quickly and professional to our enquires, and did the best job planning this trip for us.

Our safari guide was without a doubt the best guide we could ask for. He was professional, an excellent spotter, patient and an absolute blast to be around :)

When I come back to this beautiful country for another safari experience, I will most definitely use Tanzania Explorer again, and I recommend this company to anyone that are choosing Tanzania as their safari destination!

A magic experience with Tanzania explorer gave us a dream come through safari in Tanzania!
5/5

From the very first contact we had with Tanzania Explorer and Sondre we got the best advices and recommendations for our holidays in Tanzania. Close and personalized contact and communication with us all the time ensured that our safari holidays were perfect and we were well taken care of from landing in Dar es Salaam and taking off again two weeks later. In fact it exceeded my expectations. Everything was taken care of, even the dietary needs of to persons with celiac disease was handled with care and discretion. We stayed at Selous Kinga lodge where service and food was excellent. Everywhere we met friendly staff taking care of us. We also loved staying at Hondo Hondo tented camp in the Udzungwa forest. Beautiful situated and very nice "tents". Again where the staff extremely friendly and nice. We enjoyed the safari trips in both in Selous and Mikomi parks where we preferred Selous where we experienced all the animals and even though it was peak season we felt as if we were alone watching the lion recover after the morning hunt and kill. Strong and magic! Our drivers and guides where also excellent and professional. Zanzibar was a nice ending of the dream with white beaches, coral reefs and dolphin swim:) We loved all of it and highly recommend planning your trip with Tanzania explorer - its a dream come through.

5/5

I do not usually write reviews, but this time Tanzania Explorer really deserve a great review. Why? Because they are great! Sondre (owner) was following us up and kept all his promises. Everything was according to plan and times were honoured by everyone involved. Simply an excellent partner to take you on a great safari and Zanzibar experience.

An experience beyond all expectations
5/5

We had an absolutely magical holiday!
Thank you for making the trip so special for us. Vivi organized everything for us, and the communication we had with her was excellent. We got all the information we needed before and during the stay.
We visited Ruaha and stayed at Mwagusi Safari Camp, a place we will never forget! We also had one day in Mikumi park, before we flew to Zanzibar. (Ruaha is our favorite, but the parks are different. Very nice to see them both)

We would recommend you stay at, or at least visit, Emerson Spice in Stone Town, if you visit Zanzibar. Great both before and after lazy days at the beach.

Everyone should visit Tanzania once their life and have a magical trip like ours, so risk travelling with someone else than Tanzania Explorer?

Amazing Safari Trip
5/5

Tanzania Explorer is a very professional accompany. I dealt with Sondra when booking the trip. He was always prompt in his replies and always gave every possible information needed. Once I told Sondra what I wanted he did everything for me..... very easy.

We did a 3day safari trip- a boat safari, a full day safari, a morning walking tour and another half day game trip. Rashid our safari guide was excellent. He was an expert at spotting the animals and very knowledgeable about each animals we saw. Was also very accommodating and friendly.

We stayed in Selous Kinga Lodge. This place went above and beyond our expectations. The manager and staff were very friendly and helpful. Our lodge was lovely, very spacious, very comfortable beds and brilliant views. Our room was cleaned everyday and our bed sheets were turned down each night which was lovely. The chef is amazing... the food was gorgeous each day. I am celiac and I have to say the chef was excellent at preparing specific meals for me... even making freshly baked bread each day... amazing chef.


Amazing trip... Tanzania explorer is the best safari company to book with.

Thanks for a perfect organized adventure!
5/5

We are so happy that we chose Tanzania Explorer (Sondre) to organize and set up this trip for us. From day one we got all the explanations and information we needed to put together a perfect trip for us. It has all been very well organized and taken care of. The commutation and information has been excellent before, during and after the trip. This is what I call personalized service!

The trip and all we got to experience was just magical. We really appreciated the variations of activities and traveling - a lot to do, but still relaxing and never hectical.

The wildlife and scenery in Ruaha National Park is spectacular, and a special thanks to our guide and driver Sam, who really knew his way around and showed us the best of it.

All of our expatations got more than fullfilled - Tanzania is beautiful place on earth and combined with the knowledge, service and places picked by Tanzania Explorer this was truly a trip of a lifetime!
