Day trip to Zanzibar from Dar Es Salam
Last february we booked a last minute day trip to Zanzibar from dar es salam. Very nice trip, we had a tour around stone town and we visited the prison island. Beautiful sightings and the service was pretty good

Rip off
Doing a safari was one of my biggest dreams. This operator defiantly ruined it. Everything went wrong, but I´ll try to keep it short. I had to pay a 50 % deposit by bank transfer so that a guy sometimes called Donald sometimes Daniel could make a reservation for a hotel. It cost me a fortune and as it turned out: nothing was reserved. I had to share not just a room, but also a bed with the other girl on the tour. Yes, two strangers in one bed! Daniel/Donald stayed in Daressalaam. The driver barely spoke english, but enough to tell us that his boss turned off his phone when we insisted on two rooms or on the pop up roof jeep we booked and payed for. We had to do the safari in a little Toyota. After the rain season the grass is so high that many times you can't see a thing. We never went too far away from the lodge since the car couldn't manage many of the bumpy roads without 4x4. Yes, sometimes we saw animals, but there was no real safari feeling. I am so disappointed. :(

Don't use this agency!
I booked via internet a 3-day-safari with Amani Tours and Travel for me and my two daughters. One month before the trip starts I transfered 50% of the payment as deposit and the rest of the payment I payed cash when we arrived Tanzania.
On the evening before the trip should starts I got an email that the safari is cancelled... From this moment I couldn't reach Daniel/Donald??? and I'm still waiting for my money...

Terrible experience with Amani Tours - 3 day safari in Mikumi
Our biggest complain is that we've payed the Mikumi park entrance fee - $ 150 in total ($ 75 per day) in addition to the entire trip, which was $ 900 ($ 450 per person). The park fee supposed to be included and Daniel promised us that he will return the money, but of course that did not happen. And overall service was not as described. The trip was in a regular van, not a 4W Jeep as on photo. The accommodation was outside the park, not as described.

The best of Jordan
I have just completed an 11-day trip in Jordan, organized and coordinated by Amani Tours. Booking with Amani Tours was one of the best decisions I could have made. Ahmad and the team took care of every single detail of the trip, so I didn't have to worry about anything. Almost everything went without a hitch (a few sites where they could not find an available local guide, but in the end, I didn't see that as a big deal).
Given the fact that they only do private tours, they assign a driver to you. In my case, my driver, Hassan, was excellent. I could not have asked for a better companion for my trip. He was always very professional, courteous, on time, responsible. Not only was he a driver, but a source of information and cultural awareness. During our trips, we would chat about pretty much anything, and he would be happy to share about the local culture, customs, etc., which put the whole experience into perspective. Thank you Hassan for all the good times, and thank you Ahmad for planning and coordinating the whole trip. Thanks to you guys, this trip is now one of the most memorable for me!!.
When I go back, I would not hesitate to book again with Amani Tours!
