A fabulous holiday to remember
5/5

We had few queries for the date of booking the trip which I queried by phone and email, all we can say is that these were dealt with and answered immediately. we would definitely book with Dahlia tours & safaris again and again for our trip in Africa. This trip was from the very first day full on and every day packed with different experiences. We managed to fulfill two of my lifetime wishes which were to see Big 5 animals and hiking around Kilimanjaro National Park going to Natural beautiful waterfalls, Chagga tribe and war caves!! Also having big chance to swim in Hot spring near Kilimanjaro international Airport, first time on a trip like this which was made all the more enjoyable with having such a fantastic mixed group of Dahlia tours&safaris team, their driver guide Bryson and Kilimanjaro expert Rahm. Any trip is only as good as the guide and a special mention needs adding for Brian, their manager who did such a fantastic job of ensuring everyone, no matter how small or demanding of their request was looked after. I strongly recommend this professional tour company.

I advise you do not a safari with Brian or Dahlia Tours especially for Wheelchair Travel
1/5

We planned an extended family vacation in July 2024 with an US travel agent who connected us with Brian & Dahlia Tours. Our needs were specific as my father is in a wheelchair and we were a group of 9 with ages from 80 to 11. We spent over 1.5 years planning and paying for this trip of a lifetime. Unfortunately, Brian/Dahlia failed to make hotel payments, reservations for excursions, arrange disabled friendly travel and generally lied to us about the status of our trip. We confirmed all plans with him and our US travel agent frequently prior to departure for East Africa. Upon arriving, we were met with unpaid hotel reservations, unbooked excursions, limited English speaking guides, very old vehicles in Tanzania, hotel bookings that were not per our itinerary and not disability friendly, unpaid game park fees and the list goes on. It was a stressful and dangerous trip due to his poor planning and lies about his poor planning.

Great experience in tarangire
5/5

We had one day safari with Dahlia to Tarangire. It was unforgettable. Our guide driver (Johari) was very expert and showed us different animals with their interesting stories. He made unforgottable day with great memories for us from baobabs, girrafe, zebras, .... he told us that girrafe can be nominated as Ms. Savanah because she walks like a miss world

Great 1-Day Tour
5/5

We had an excellent time on the 1-day Ngorongoro Crater tour with Emmanuel. He is a very knowledgeable guide and was great at spotting animals from a distance. We saw the black rhino, along with Buffaloes and lions. Emmanuel's knowledge was also superior to that of other guides. While waiting for the black rhino to stand up (it was laying in the middle of some tall grass), another tour guide with a different company began making weird animal sounds and banged on his car door to provoke it, but failed. Emmanuel informed us that the black rhino was not a friend of noise and windy conditions. We waited patiently for about 5-10 minutes after the other guide left and voila - the black rhino stood up for us and we got a picture in all its glory. We really lucked out considering how short our tour was! We'd definitely recommend Dahlia tours!

Time is a very friendly staff and accurate to. The driver of the operation is also the best.
5/5

Faster response from the reservation of the stage, here hope was also able to accept accurately. On the day of the Mashi under .. come to accurately pick the time. The driver of the operation will also need to ride with confidence. That put the car was good in the best position to find the animal. Animal of knowledge also had a rich and very fun time.

Amazing journey
5/5

Our three day safari was an amazing experience. We had a very good driver and guide who helped us to spot a lot of animals and told us very interesting facts about their nature and life. We have learned a lot.
We also liked the atmosphere, being several days all the time with the same people can be tricky but our "safari professionals" were very nice people and we did enjoy the time we spent together.
I would highly recommend this company for arranging safari.
