A dream come true with Ajabu Adventures
March 2016 my daughter and I did a 4 day photo safari with Ajabu Adventures. We toured the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire Parks. It was fantastic. From first contact until drop off at the airport Ajabu was outstanding. Anja in the office tailored a safari that fit our needs and Issa our guide was the best. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

Climbing of Mount Kilimanjaro and safari
In september 2015 me and a friend climbed the Mount Kilimanjaro. It was a great experience. The team created by Ajabu Adventures was absolutely fantastic. Knowledge and enthousiasm was great. Everything was arranged in good order and the guides and porters guide us to the top briljant. Safety and Summit (top of Kilimanjaro) was allways on the first place. After the climb we had a safari for 5 days with a fantastic driver from Ajabu. He guide us through 4 national parks and showed us the big 5. I can recommend Ajabu Adventures to everybody who wants to have the experience of their lifetime!

Outstanding safari experience
The Dutch owners at Ajabu Adventures provide excellent service to their customers. Our itinerary was expertly planned with the best lodgings and daily activities. Jamu, our driver/guide, had 14 years experience which made a big difference in the success of our trip. We also traveled in a Land Rover car, which has the best suspension for absorbing bumps in the road.
If you want to have a private safari--let Anja plan your trip--This boutique agency cares about their customers and will provide you with the trip of a lifetime.
Ajabu offered an unforgettable trip, professionally, friendly with an excellent guide!
After an excellent and quick emailcorrespondence, we had a wonderfull safari with Ajabu. Paul turned out to be the guide anyone would hope for, with professinal skills and an open and friendly mind.
We saw in the parks in N-Tanzania more birds and animals than we hoped for. From dusk till dawn 'en route' we had encounters with elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebra, giraf and even beisa antilopes and wild dogs. Numerous eagles, herons, egrets and other birds, and all of them on foto, because of the way Paul was handling the car.
We met wonderful people, especially Jamat and his three years old son Lagilalla in the Maasai boma. During the walk with them I felt really at home on the Maasai Steppe. In Africa, you go back to your deepest roots, encoutering the peoples of the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes. After that you have to 're-invent' yourself.
It was ment to be a once in a lifetime experience, and it was! But, I don't want it to be a once in a lifetime experience, I want to go back.
When, than via Ajabu Travel!

Hakuna Matata, with Ajabu Adventures you can enjoy a great holiday without worrying
In January this year we have done a great safari with Ajabu Adventures. The dedication of Gert- Jan and Anja to make our trip special was absolutely amazing. Nothing is too much. The reception very warm and personal. The quality of the transport, food, guides and accommodation places was more than good. And different. The perfect fit at a fair price and we will definitely go with Ajabu again next time. We can recommend Ajabu wholeheartedly.

Fantastic safari trip
We have done a fantastic 9 day safari to Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro crater, the Serengeti and the beautiful
Tarangire Nat. Park.
A nice change to the safari were the visits to the Hadzabe bushmen, the Datoga people and the Maasai
boma. What a friendly people.
Also compliments to our driver Juma, who take care for everything during the trip.
And do not forget Anja and Gertjan, for arranging and composing this nice trip.
On a return visit to Tanzania, we know how to find you again.
Thank you for this unforgettable journey, Esther & Ron

Excellent service, professional drivers/guides, very dedicated to you as their customer!
Last week I had an amazing safari in Tanzania together with my boyfriend. Everything was perfectly organised by Ajabu Adventures.
Ajabu has very professional guides/drivers, who are very dedicated to you as their clients. This was my second time with Jumah as guide/driver. He speeks English very well, he can tell you everything about Tanzania, the nature, the different tribes and of course the wild animals!! His wish is to make each day perfect for you.
We spotted the big 5 in 1 day! Amazing!
I can advise you to book a safari at Ajabu, specially organised for you. They know the most beautiful places to stay.... A tented camp (you sleep in a tent and can enjoy the sundowner and the sounds of the animals) or more luxury lodges. And everything in between!
Thank you Ajabu for an unforgettable and amazing safari.
Asante sana!!!

Safari and Tribal Adventure
What an exciting trip! My only company was Paul, my driver who was fantastic. He looked after me as if I were his grandma. His eyes were sharp. I don't think he missed one little movement that was worth some attention. He would spot a leopard in the fork of a tree from far away. He was able to anticipate situations. Once we saw a herd of elephants standing tucked together in the shade of a tree. There were many tourists in many cars watching. The elephants started moving slowly on, one after the other. The cars drove off. Paul said, "They are heading for water!" We slowly moved in the same direction as the elefants and discovered a water hole. We stopped close by. What an amazing sight! One by one , little ones, big ones, everyone walked steadily into the cool water. They rolled, showered, sprayed, drank and trumpeted in sheer joy!
I saw just about every animal possible, even a black rhino. To me it looked like a big thick sausage towards the horizon. I just had to believe Paul. He was right! At home on the zoomed-in photo I can see the horns!!!
On this trip I came in close contact with 3 tribes which was a once in my lifetime experience.
The accommodation was excellent (even though I downgraded somewhat) and everywhere we stopped the staff was friendly and helpful. Not to forget the two fantastic local guides, Mossa and Tobias, who both spoke beautiful English and their knowledge was bottomless.
There was a lot of driving ca 2400km. In Serengeti the roads were rough and dusty.
I am very happy I chose Ajabu Adventure for my first Africa experience!
Fourth visit to Tanzania with Ajabu Adventures
September 6, 2015 we started our 4th visit to Tanzania organised by Ajabu. First we climbed Kilimanjaro. We chose the 8-days Lemosho route. It was tough but we succeeded thanks to the perfect organisation and support of a wonderful team. Guides and porters did a great job, we are very grateful to them. We were like one big family. We were in good hands from day1. It was an unforgettable experience. After my fellow-climber Kenneth and I finished the climb, my husband joined us for a safari in Tarangire and Serengeti National Park. The safari was great. Sleeping in tented camps in Serengeti surrounded by wild animals is great. Thanks to a last minute change proposed by Ajabu, we went to northern Serengeti for 3 nights and were able to see the crossing of the Mara River by wildebeest and zebra on different occasions. Juma, our driver/guide for the 4th time, was amazing again. Back home, we miss Tanzania already. Your country has a special place in our heart. And we will, certainly come back. We thank Ajabu and especially Gert-Jan, Anja and last but not least Juma for making our dreams come true.

We like Ajabu very well! Very personel and fexible! Better than we would have expected.....
It wasn't our first time to visit Tanzania. But traveling with Ajabu was a new and great experience! The communication in front of the Safari went very well and during the Safari we switched to other camp sites because of the moving migration (to be close as possible). This was only possible because of the fexibility of this company and the owners. Amazing to experience how they are working to give you the best trip they can! The drive was very friendly and gentle. And he was a good and save driver as well! Knowing every single detail of nature.
We will never forget this trip......
Thanks a lot Ajabu!
