Trip of a Lifetime!!
Jumbo, Jumbo...This was our first Safari and cannot not imagine another "future" trip we may plan to another location that could exceed our expectations as much as this one. Starting from scratch, I discovered there are many, many tour operators from which to choose. I narrowed my choices based on reviews, intuition and response to my requests. In the end, what looked like a daunting task to select an operator, Ajabu Adventures made the decision easy. Their quick response to my questions (many), flexibility with our itinerary, suggestions, customer service, personal attention to our needs and wants and price were the highlights in making the decision to book our safari with Ajabu Adventures. Most importantly, when it came time to deliver, Ajabu exceeded our expectations in every way......lodging (5 star), tour guide (PAUL!!!), attractions, surprises, rare finds (attributed to Paul), culture and life and on and on. In fact, along the journey, we met some wonderful people and shared in many of the African customs. Our 9 day itinerary was just enough to want us to consider a return for the 25 day adventure in the future. Highly recommend two nights in the bush (tent camp) and part of a day with a Maasai Tribe community. Anja and her team, and Paul as our tour guide, truly provided my wife and I the trip of a life time. We have and will continue to share our experience and memories through our stories and photographs with friends and family. Asante sana Ajabu Adventures!

Unforgettable experience from beginning to the end !!!
We are regular travellers to Kenya and made quite a lot of safaris over the last 10 years. In 2010 we went to Tanzania for the first time and booked a 4 days safari with Ajabu Adventures. We thought we had it all in the passed experiences but booking a safari with this company was amazing. From the first email contact till the day of departure for safari, everything was arranged in a personal way and with passion. We knew from the start that this would become a wonderful 4 days of adventure. The owners of Ajabu Adventure are Dutch and they put their hearts and souls into the business. The best quality is their service. They really feel responsible for giving you the best moments of your life. Almost everything is possible to arrange and they help you with great suggestions. The driver/guide we had was experienced in knowledge and a suberb driver as well. They have great 4x4 cars, very comfortable. The lunch package was a surpise... no paper boxes but a great picknick basket and real crockery. We saw some tourists looking with an envied eye, included some monkeys :-). We are planning to visit Tanzania again in January 2013 and will book again with Ajabu Adventures. We can sincerely recommend Ajabu Adventures if quality, hospitality, customer service and value for money is important to you!

Personal service, quick responses and excellent and experienced guide and driver
From the first moment we contacted Ajabu we were happy with the quick and personal responses from Judith, the owner of the company. She answered all our questions, and suggested a programm that suited our wishes very well. Judith was very flexible in adjusting the programm when we asked for that. We planned a 6 days trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. Besides that we made a day trip to Embakaai crater where we descended to the crater lake by foot accompanied by an armed guide. A very beautiful experience away from the beaten tracks and other tourists. A good way to stretch our legs as well. Jumah, our driver and guide, was very experienced in spotting the wildlife. He has excellent knowledge of the animals, their names and background information, and about Tanzania as a whole. He was very patient, always trying to give us a new experience or a better point of view. And besides that, a very pleasant person to travel around with for 6 days. We stayed away from the 'crowds' as much as possible, which gave us the possibility to fully experience the beauty and abundance of nature and its wildlife. We saw so many animals without rushing from one place to the other. Most of the time we stayed in luxury tented camps. For us a wonderful way to experience Tanzania. Closer to nature and still all facilities and a good bed. The staff in the camps was very friendly and gave good service. The 4 wheel drive was very comfortable and spacious. Enough room for all people (4) to stand at the same time and have good views in all directions. Ajabu gave us an experience that was better than we expected! Special thanks to Jumah!

Perfect
One word we need for Ajabu Adventures and that is: PERFECT.
All was perfect organised, the accommodations, the food, the Range Rover, but most of all our guide, such a fine person with very sharp eyes and he learned us a lot. So if you want to go on safari , choose Tanzania, because it's such a beautiful country with very,very, nice people and let your journey be organised bij Ajabu Adventures from Arusha.
