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.

Great Botique Travel company to organise unforgettable experience in Tanzania and Kenya
Selecting an travel agent to go on safari in Africa is difficult - there are so many choices. We were fortunate we selected the small boutique Ajabu Adventures instead of selecting on of the very large companies which are available for African Safaris . From the first day I contacted Ajabu Adventures about our proposed safari, they were responsive with suggestions and alternative which were available - they knew what people wanted to see in the time they had available and budget they had to enjoy . We ended up combining Kenya with Tanzania with a few days in Zanzibar at the end. Ajabu were able to customise the safari holiday to our requirements in coordination with their associate Talk About Kenya in Nairobi. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, we felt comfortable that our holiday was going to be a success. The accommodation selected was a great mix of tented camps and very nice hotels through both the countries. The itinerary proposed was relaxing as requested but allowed us to see some of the great parks and enjoy wonderful experiences throughout both countries. The guides Cyrus in Kenya and Paul in Tanzania were fantastic - they new where to look and could spot animals when you thought there was nothing there -We highly recommend both of these guides- they were fantastic, very accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you to Gert and his team, we had a great holiday.

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!
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.

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!!!

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

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.
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!

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.

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!
