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.

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!

Ajabu is Wonderful
Our few days with Ajabu Adventures were magical. Juma, our guide, was the best: friendly and respectful not just to us but everyone we encountered; knowledgeable and passionate about his country and environment; and eager to go above and beyond the expected to make us feel quite at home in Tanzania.
And Judith - what can I say? She is a model business owner - engaging, delightful and delivers over-the-top service and care.
The only downside was the food at the lodge where we stayed - their attempt at European cuisine feel short. May I suggest they try local delicacies, for which they probably have a much more sensitive palate, and would round out the experience of our Tanzania adventure?

Ajabu, the key to the perfect safari!
In july we made our first safari, organised by Ajabu Adventures. From the first contact, we had a very good feeling by the organisation. It was very professional and tailor-made. And the reception by Judith on the first day of our safari was warm and personal; the confirmation of the good feeling we already had.
And then our guide/driver Paul...Such a nice person, with al lot of knowledge and a nice sense of humour.He learned us a lot and nothing was too much!
The safari itself was overwhelming. Even the most beautiful photo can't reflect what you really see.
All the credits go to Ajabu Adventures and we highly recommend Ajabu to anyone who intends to make a safari.

This was our 3rd safari with Ajabu Adventures and it was exactly what we wantend to do!
In 2012 we went for the first time to Tanzania organized by Ajabu Adventures, we went to the Ngorogorocrater,Tarangire and Serengeti. We stayed in nice lodges and tents.Our drive, Jumah, is An excellent driver/guide and knows his way around and has a lot of knowlegde about the animals and birds. In 2013 we went again with Ajabu to Mikumi, Selous and Rouaha Pacs with the same driver. To very remote areas and beautiful nature. At the end of 2013 we went again, to see the migration in the Serengeti, which is absulutely a highlight. All the accomodations, good were excellent and we really enjoyed it so much and will certainly recommend Ajabu Adventures to friends.

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!

Amazing trip of a lifetime!
Our tour was fantastic! Our operator was very knowledgeable and considerate, accommodations were really great, and enjoyed all our experiences. I only wish we had more time in the Serengeti, and I would only take one day of rest upon arriving in Arusha. Otherwise we loved it!

3 day great Safari Experience Northern Circuit
We (2 persons) asked for a 3 day safari. Nicole Versleijen produced within a few hours a suggestion/offer: the itinerary, lodges and price. The webbased presentation of the offer was great.
Tarangire (Serena lodge with a perfect sundowner overlooking lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro crater (Sopa lodge with again a perfect sundowner overlooking the crater) and Lake Manyara. The car was clean, reliable and comfortable. The driver, a very skilled guide, polite and an excellent compagnon. All together, although we have been on safari quite often: a GREAT ONE!! I can recommend Ajabu to everyone.
