Exellent!
Great days in Tanzania with the Siafu Tanzania safari team.
At least once a year we are organizing a trip with group of friends abroad to experience different people, places and cultures. This year choice of destination was Tanzania where we were hoping to visit nature parks, experience the hospitality of Tanzanian people, experience urban life with the lively markets as well as rest on the beautiful beaches in Zansibar.
Estravel helped us purchase flight tickets and we received information from our friends about Siafu Tanzania safari team who had previously helped them to organize their vacation. We got in touch with the team and they helped us to achieve a dream vacation.
At Kilimanjaro Airport we were met by hospitality by Siafu Tanzania team as Ene Lepp and Emmanuel were expecting us at arrivals and helped us to helped us with practicalities such exchanging money and finding our hotel. Ene’s experience and expertise in visiting Arusha markets and discovering the city’s sights helped us everywhere, with ease we were able to achieve best purchase prices and make choose best possible options for us. We visited the Tanzanini Museum in Arusha, the Maasai market and many other sites. In order to experience local life and culture in its authentic way we used local services. Ene took as for ice cream in fabulous local ice cream café and she always entertained us with endless stories about her adventures in Tanzania. We stayed at the Tulia Hotel and Spa in Arusha, which was also booked by the team of Siafu Tanzania Ltd. The hotel was comfortable and nice without breaking the budget; with a swimming pool and a bar where we spend nice relaxing time.
Following adoption to African culture in Arusha were moved further for an exciting 3 days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro National Parks with an excellent guide Emmanuel, whose professional knowledge of nature, friendliness and safe driving only deserve praise. We enjoyed experiencing lives of lions, elephants, zebras, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, gazelles, monkeys and many more animals like mummy ostriches and hippos looking for shelter in the water. Excellent lunches at the stops of national parks with coffee and wine were a unique experience. During Safari Days, accommodation with breakfasts and dinners was offered by the excellent hotel Fanaka Lodge, which was also booked by the team of Siafu Tanzania Ltd.
A meeting with residents in the Mto Wa Mbu community and Maasai village was a another fabulous experience. Accompanied by Deo Kibungara, we learned about the village liffe, visited their homes, took part in nature education in the banana farm and rice field as well as watched craftsmen work in their wooden workshop. Of course, the visits included opportunity to purchase interesting local items that will remind us of Africa. Selling style of locals was intense and when they realized that we were a bit overwhelmed they calmed us by saying ‘pole, pole’ (in Estonian, peace, peace) and eventually deals were made for everyone’s satisfaction. In the villages we met a lot of great people including children who cheerfully shouted us in the village tour. Local children were grateful and exited when we offered them some gifs such as candies and school supplies that we had brought with us
Together with Ene and Emmanuel, we visited several Tanzania schools to see children enjoying fun learning experiences together. We also visited Maasai village, met their way of life and enjoyed their welcome dance, handicrafts and genuine hospitality.
At the end of our time in Arusha was time to move on to Zansibar. Ene and Emmanuel kindly took us to the airport where we said our goodbyes: it was hard to leave as we had become good friends and we thoroughly enjoyed their company.
Our visits to the city of Arusha and to the national parks of the Kilimanjaro region left us with unforgettable memories of natural richness of the nature and the genuine friendliness of people. Of course what made this trip a fabulous once as it was meeting and sharing time with Ene, who did not get tired of introducing us to the real life of Tanzania and sharing experiences on how to manage as an Estonian in Tanzania.
We will always remind ourselves of a friendly and hospitable phrase ‘Hacuna matata’ from Tanzania (in Estonian, take it easy) as this helps to keep our otherwise not so joyful Estonian spirits alive for time to come.
Thank you Ene Lepp and Emmanuel!

The most professional safari tour operator
We went to Tanzania trip with the whole family - me, my husband and three small children. The youngest one was only 1 year old and others were 3 and 7 years old. So, before the trip I was a bit worried if safari trip is suitable for so young children. But thanks to the professional team of Siafu Tanzania Safaris the trip was excellent, our children loved it and the trip turned out much better than we expected.
We highly recommend Siafu Tanzania Safaris to everyone!
Thank you so much (and... we will be back :)!

Tour of a lifetime
Our vacation included two full day safaries at Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks. It was truly amazing and stunning experience to observe so many different wild species of animals all together in their own habitat. We thank from the bottom of our hearts our trip planner Ene and our guide, who never failed to gave answers to all kinds of our ridiculous questions.
We wish you all the best! <3

Safari and Mto wa mbu trip with family
I traveled with my family, husband, and 3 children (14, 16, 17). Despite the small vipers (children's sudden illness), Ene and her team, especially Francis, were able to help us and support us. Saw how to make coffee, visiting the safari and see the village life, including visting masai was an unforgettable experience that is sure to be experienced. All people in Tansania are very friendly. I highly recommend! Many thanks to Ene and Siafu Tanzania Safaris!
We will be back!

Service as it best!
After looking for different tour operators to help us plan our trip, Ene really stood out. She was all the time available for us and she was able to arrange all that we wanted, even in addition of the safari in a short time. We spent 4 amazing days in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, where we could see all different kind of landscape and wildlife habitats, a one in a lifetime experience. I really recommend going with them as they will make sure all your needs are fulfilled with a positive attitude and genuine smile. The price and performance ratio is top!!! Asante sana!

Great vacation!
We went to Tanzania november-december 2021 (8 people). Our vacation was organised by Ene Lepp. Everything went perfectly. Drivers/tour guides - Francis and Suddy were very professional and friendly.
We went to Tarangiere national park, Ngotongoro crater, visited different tribes and schools. Our vacation was finised in Zanzibar island.
Definately our vacation to Tanzania hadn’t been as great and smooth when Ene Lepp hadn’t organised the trips for us. Thank uou again Ene. You have made our vacation unforgettable.

It was one of our best trip
We usually do our own trips, but this time we decided to use Siafu Tanzania Safaris and it was a very good decision. Without them, we would not have seen all these wonderful places and met interesting locals.
In any case, I warmly recommend them and believe me, you will not regret it.

I was my own first time in Africa, and booked a trip with Siafu Tanzania safaris.
Siafu means ant in local language :)
When in Africa, definitely have to take a safari to enjoy the wildlife and landscapes.
My tour operator picked me up from Airport, everything was very well organized, I truly had wonderful time.
Thank you and will be back in no time!
