Awesome time
Had a great time on recent 5 day safari trip with Taylor Safaris. Tony was extremely helpful and accommodating in getting the logistical side of the safari lined up before we went and addressed all of our questions / concerns.
The safari itself was an amazing time. We got to see all the animals that we could have hoped to see (lions, giraffes, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, wildebeest, hyenas, buffalo, hippos and even a rhino!) and the experience sleeping under the stars was great. Our guide Isaac and our chef who accompanied us on the safari were excellent. Very down to earth people making the safari that much more enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend going with Taylor Safaris on your next safari as everyone involved works very hard to make sure you have a memorable experience.

We had an excellent experience. Highly recommended!!
We had a great experience with Taylor Safaris. It was recommended to us by a German girl that has been living in Tanzania for some years now. We decided how many days and which parks we wanted to visit also with some of their advice, we did 3 days-3 parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara - very recommended since the scenery and animals vary from park to park. At the end of the day I guess it all goes down to which driver/tour guide you get, we had Timothy, only have good words about him, good person, great sense of humor and very skilled at spotting animals. It was my sister and me on the safari, we realised it could have been very different with some other tour guide..we got the best!

Avoid
I’m genuinely shocked and extremely disappointed by the experience I had with this agency. After investing significant time and effort to meticulously plan my dream trip to Africa, inspired by their own YouTube content, I approached this company hoping they would bring their expertise to finalize the details. Instead, I received a curt response implying that my carefully crafted itinerary was being “shopped around” to other operators – which could not be further from the truth. I had chosen to work with them based solely on the trust and credibility I thought they projected.
This response was not only unprofessional but also deeply unfair. As a client eager to experience Africa through the unique lens they claimed to provide, I felt dismissed and undervalued. Their unwillingness to work with someone who did the research and put in genuine effort was incredibly disappointing.
If you’re considering working with this company, think twice. They may appear helpful in their marketing, but my experience left me questioning their actual commitment to customer service and collaboration. A truly reputable agency should respect the enthusiasm and effort of its clients, not dismiss them with baseless assumptions.

We Saw Everything!
Issack was great! He knew where to find even the rarest and hardest to spot animals. He doesn't miss a thing! Plus, he always managed to park in exactly the right place for pictures.
Our trip included the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and a visit to several tribal communities that welcome visitors to learn about their culture. Overall an amazing experience that I'll never forget!
We were with our grand daughter an the trip was incredibly important to her development as a young a
The Taylor's put our grand daughter at ease immediately. This was her first time way from home, and despite the distance and cultural differences, she was always thrilled with it all.
