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!
Wonderful experience
Dear Amani tours! Thank you very much for the organization of our 3-day Selous safari! Everything was perfect! We liked it very much. Our guide Daniel, the driver, the chef did their job very well. They were very helpful and nice, they really cared about us and tried to do everything to make us feel comfortable and excited.
So, we will recommend your company to our friends.

Unforgettable safari with Amani Tours Safaris company'
There were four of us traveling with Amani Tours company, two adults and two children. We had 5-day safari. Daniel from Amani Tours was our guide. We were very lucky with him. He is extremely nice person and very knowledgeable, professional guide. He picked us up from the Kilimanjaro airport and this is how our journey has started. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks. We have seen all animals we wanted. Serengeti with its Katikati tented camp was the best. Amani Tours recommended us good places to stay according to our budgets.
I recommend Amani Toursl as a reliable safari operator. I would go with them another time.
Great experience
I booked the 2-day Safari to Mikumi National Park spontaniously for last weekend, since I was on a business trip in Tanzania. First I was worried to travel as a woman alone in Tanzania, but Daniel and Alico from Amani Tours Team organized everything so perfectly, that I felt very safe at all times. My guide Alico picked me up at the hotel early in the morning on Saturday and brought me to the airport again after the trip on Sunday evening for my local flght to Arusha. On the Safari, we got to see a lot of elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalos and even a lion right next to the Jeep! I enjoyed especially the open roof of the jeep, since I had a perfect panorama view, which is just fantastic in the park. I was very lucky with my accomodation too, I got to stay in Mikumi Bandas/cottages, which is a really Budget tent experience. I met the manager of the place and the other guests in the evening when we had dinner together. I even got to feed the bush babies at night with bananas and got to see some wild cats which were around the camp at night. So overall the whole trip was a great experience for me, that I do not want to miss!
I wish I could have more time to stay in Tanzania and see more animals but Amani Tours has showed me a lot of animals.I can't wait to say thank you so much Amani Tours Team for your trustwoth,efficiency and reliability.I will always reccommend Amani Tours to all my aged experienced travellers in America to use Amani Tours when in Tanzania for 'Safari of the lifetime in Africa.

Good experience with Amani Tours
I booked a family tour with Amani for 3 days to Mikumi National park and our experience was positive. The kids had a great time. The tour Guide, Julius was very good and helpful. He seems quite experienced and he helped us to see most animals at the park including Elephants and a lion on the first day. we stayed at Mikumi Adventure Lodge which was also nice and comfortable. Our kids loved the fire place, they went there playing every evening. The staff were also nice. Even though the journey was tiring, we were happy we made it. Thank you Daniel.

2 day safari Mikumi nat. park
Pick up from DAR ferry terminal by Daniel and Mohammed.
Fantastic experience, our first safari. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, impalas, giraffes, whartogs, zebras etc. and all in close range with park entrance and cottage.
Very helpfull guide Mohammed. We slept in a cottage at the park. Diner was a good beef stew with rice,
a nice open bar under a big tree beautiful night with lots of stars.
In the very early morning Elephants at "our back yard"
we had breakfast the second day at 0600, but unfortunately Mohammed forgot to tell us that restaurant was not serving at that time but breakfast was ready on table.
Electricity is cut of at cottage from 00:00 till 06:00 (no light, fan or airco) so do not forget to bring a flashlight (!) and take this in account when you charge your batteries (you will make many photos / films)
unfortunately trip was in a regular van - not a 4W Jeep as on photo at request.
We had not taken in account the duration of the trip, from Dar to Mikumi is a 6 hr drive (approx 280 km).
schedule in short;
Day 1 pick up at Zanzibar resort at 0600 - arrival at park 16:00 hrs - afternoon drive till 18:30 - many animals
Day 2 breakfast at 0600 - drive (incl. lions at public "high"way) - departure to Dar at 0830 - Dar 1400, Ferry - back at resort 1830.
Again a very tiring but again fantastic experience !!

3-day safari in Mikumi NP
We booked a 3-day budget safari to Mikumi NP. We are really satisfied about the Safari and our guide Juma. The only thing we didn't like was that it said that we were staying inside the park but we were not and the last day it was just a drive passing the park on the highway and we didnt have a safari car it was a normal car.
There are no cheetahs or rhinos in the park but we saw all the other cool animals.
Recommended!
