Affordabble Safari with good with price for lodge & Camping
Our Tanzania holiday with locally owned, tour Operator Taste Of Afrika Safaris, Seka and his team were very helpful to arrange our budgeted camping safari. They were honest, flexible, fun, and very informative. We were so impressed with Gabriel our Guide how knowledgeable is with animal, plants and bird life. We saw everything even Big 5 Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo and that was our main dream. We had mixed safari Lodge and camping we had a chance to have experience to stay 2 nights at Simba Campsite inside the National Park and 1 night at Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge, we highly recommend them for your dream Safari.You will not be disappointed at all. Thanks a lot once again.

5 Days Adventure with great experience
We had a Chance to enjoy our 5 days Camping and Lodge Safari with Taste Of Afrika Safaris, wished we could enjoyed a lot but the time was against us because we had to go back home early. We had relatively enough of time to visit only 4 National parks with great and beautiful places our first was Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and we end up with Ngorongoro crater. We saw all animals big 5 in which was interested: Lions, cheetah, hippos, giraffe, elephants. Gabriel is very knowledgeable,hummble,friendly and well skilled. He made our safari to be the best and full with good memories. I highly recommend 5 days safari with Taste of Afrika for anyone who really wants to visit 4 National parks with great experience.
I wish to come again to Tanzania.

2 week safari with high expectations
Our family of 4 people I and my boyfriend and my parents did safari with this company. The owner, Seka was very communicative on all emails prior to our trip to Tanzania, he planned the safari to our satisfaction. Our flight was cancelled in Amsterdam Airport but when we called Seka and inform him, he understood our situation and maintain a new itinerary, very nice of him to create a new start of our safari.
When we arrived at the airport, Seka and our Guide for the safari were already there at airport waiting with for us. During our safari it was amazing to see live animals close to our safari vehicle. We saw all of the animals (BIG 5) we expected to see and many more. We stayed in tented camps and all camps were great places for us to overnight. We recommend Taste of Afrika Safaris to all,book with them you will have great safari. Ahsante Sanna

Terrible experience, Seka gave us a lot of trouble
Do not book with this company! We had a terrible experience with Taste of Afrika for our five day safari in Tanzania. First of all they mixed the dates up. When we arrived and called they knew nothing about our booking, even though we had paid a deposit. Then on the morning of our safari they told us we weren't going that day, but the day after. Instead the offered us a coffee tour, which was very boring. Then they were going to send us to the wrong national park. When we told them that we booked for another park they send us with very last minute with a different guide. We had to join our original guide later that day, but our guide refused to bring us there initially. When we insisted he became very angry and unpleasant. We tried to bargain for a discount for the inconvenience and after a long discussion we were promised a discount of 400USD. But then later that day they denied this promise and threatened to skip our last day if we didn't pay up. Especially Seka, the owner, was very unpleasant to deal with and made a lot of mistakes in communicating with us.

4 day northern circuit safari
We planned a fantastic 4 day safari with Taste of Afrika. They were waiting for us at the airport and planned for us to stay at the Tourist Inn in Arusha, which is basic but good as a starting point for safari. We did the Northern Circuit - Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Our guide was very friendly and extremely experienced and knowledgeable. We spotted so many amazing animals, including the black rhino but he also took time to explain many things to us, such as the amazing variety of different birds and about Masai culture in the region. We opted for a camping safari, which is a great way to experience the wildlife right from your tent. We had a chef and his cooking was excellent. Although we opted for a more 'budget' safari, it didn't feel budget at all, as we had such a good guide and me and my boyfriend were treated to such a personalised experience.

Wonderful wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania...only the first!
We spent our first safari and first tent experience this summer in Tanzania with Taste Of Afrika Tours & Safaris and we could not ask for better! It has fully answered to our requests and met all our expectations. First of all Seka was very patient in answering all of my questions and providing me advices during the planning of the trip. Then all the staff was present and helpful from our arrival at the airport until departure.
We spent 6 nights and 7 days with our tireless guide and the cook who took care of us by providing everything we needed and answering our requests. We had the opportunity to observe many animals and different landscapes, but above all to assist the big migration of the gnu crossing Mara River. Finally we also lived the incredible encounter with Lake Eyasi tribes.
I highly recommend Taste Of Afrika Tours & Safaris and camping safari as a real 24 hours nature experience. I hope to go back soon for a new adventure with them.
Hakuna Matata!

Great Safari Experience
Everything related to the Safari was great. The personel of Taste of Afrika came to the hotel the day before our departure to arrange all the last minute details and was puntual on the day of departure.
The safari was an amazing experience (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and we managed to see all the big 5, and other beautiful animals as well.
Good food, excellent driver and good guide.
Overall great experience. Perhaps a bit more of communication prior to arrival in Tanzania would be good to know further details, but just a minor comment.

Once in a lifetime experience!
My boyfriend and I travelled around Tanzania last April and had the chance to participate in a 4-days 'budget' safari organized by Taste of Afrika. Our experience with Taste of Afrika was wonderful from the first email exchanges to the very end of the safari. As a group of two, safaris can be very expensive but the owner of the company, Seka, offered us the possibility to join an already existing group which was travelling in the same period. Seka was very professional and reliable, as well as flexible to met our requests. In Arusha, we were welcomed by the local manager Herrieth who explained to us the details of the tour. The next day we left early in the morning to visit Tarangiri National Park where, despite being in the rainy season, we managed to see an increadible number of animals. For travellers with limited budget or time, I can totally recommend Tarangiri which you can visit in one or two days safari from Arusha or even better from Moshi. But of course the next stops on day 2-4 were the highlight of our safari: the legendary Serengeti National park (mostly around the Seronera area) and the Ngorongoro crater (a collapsed vulcano covering an area of more than 8000 sq km), with its unique combination of wildbeast and livestock, as Masai people are allowed to graze in the crater. The friendliness and professionalism of the driver/guide and the cook accompanying us only made the experience more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful experience with Taste of Afrika. I would never have thought so, but safari is really a once in a lifetime experience!

Umbwe Route
We were two Families in total 4 people climbing Kilimanjaro via the umbwe route. Initially booked as 7 Days at the mountain trip we managed to do it even in 6 Days, thanks to our fantastic guide Baraka and his team including assistent guide richard, waiter goodluck and cook and porters. The team brought us safe up to the uhuru peak, a great experience! The guide was knowledgable, friendly and very funny person. When we arrived on mweka camp early he offered us to go further down to the gate and we stay one more night in a hotel rather than on the mountain... an offer which we gladly accepted! Everything were very well prepared, we got picked up on time and brought to our hotel and ready for the next morning for Safari.In total we can only recommend Taste of Afrika Safaris for the adventure of climbing kilimanjaro!
