Excellent service, good food and sense of safety in all things
We had a fantastic experience on our Safari which was operated by the company African Traits. The guide Noel a.k.a Ice Cube, showed us the best spots and worked really hard for us to be able to se the big five, which we did. His connections with other guides in the national parks gave us great advantages in the search for the rarest of animals. Also, his and our chef's service minds made the experience complete. 5 stars!
The pre information we recieve from Godfrey at AFT after booking made us feel comfortable that we made the right choice when choosing our tour operator. According to our guide, Godfrey also made sure there weren't any problems with different permits at the parks. Thank you!
Extra plus to Chicho who picked us up at Kilimanjaro airport and waited many hours on the delayed flight. He also made sure we had dinner, even though all restaurants were closed. Our chef, Jamali, also deserves extra credit for his great cooking abilities.
I can highly recommend African Traits as a Safari operator.

Adventure of a Lifetime
I selected African Traits for my first visit to Tanzania with my 24 year old son. The owner Godfrey was extremely responsive from the start accommodating my request for adjustments to the itinerary and multiple questions. We did a (7) day Kilimanjaro climb via the Lemosho route which was absolutely beautiful and we reached the summit as planned thanks to our guides insistence on "pole pole". The climbing team including porters, guides and chef we friendly and fun to be with and we learned a lot about Tanzania, Kilimanjaro and a bit of Swahili along the way which was awesome!. Gear and food were all very adequate along the way in fact I have never eaten so well on any on my longer term climbs or hikes. Following the climb we did a (2) day safari at Tarangire and Ngorongoro which were incredible. We opted for lodge accommodations after spending six nights in a tent and were very please with the Masailand Lodge in Arusha post climb and Farm House Lodge in Karatu. In a short two day period our guide was able to help us view the "big five" and simply enjoy the beautify of Tanzania, some of its music and culture. I would definitely recommend African Traits for your trip to Tanzania and I hope we can make plans to visit again!

First time Safari - amazing experience
Great service, good food, and amazing places! I can only recommend to everyone who likes to be in nature, and would like to get out of their comfort zone for a few days.

Very good service, awesome vegan food
We booked a four day Safari to Ngorogoro crater (1 Day) and Serengeti (3 days) with dropoff at Lake Victoria for two people. Our guide, Mbaga and our cook Habibu did an amazing job and made it an unforgettable experience. Mbaga, is a good driver and experienced and knowlegdable Safari guide. He is well connected with other guides and always gave 100% to make sure we get the most out of our trip. We saw all the animals we had hoped to see on this Safari. We want to mention that we eat vegan, which was absolutely no problem for Habibu and we had the best variety of vegan dishes on our whole 3 week Tanzania trip during these four day of Safari with African traits. The manager Godfrey is very professional. He helped us out on short notice, when we had to cancle a Safari we had booked with a competitor. He drove all the way from Arusha to Migombani camp site to make a contract with us there. Contract and equipment were very good. We also like the branding efforts (everything from pillows to water bottles on the tour carries the company logo). We had a special request: to make our nights more comfortable we asked for cots instead of simple mattresses to be put into the tent we had on public camp sites. It was absolutely no problem for African traits to organize that on short notice for some extra payment (+40 USD). Unlike other tourists we met on the public camp sites, we never had to build up our tent ourselves. African traits made sure that it always already was ready when we arrived at the site.

Amazing experience!
Our safari with African traits was full of everything we had hoped for. First we were skeptical booking a safari online from across the world, but Godfrey and the African Traits team had great communication with us through the whole process. The safari was incredible, our guide Charles was an absolute joy to be with and had so much knowledge about all animals and areas we visited, mission accomplished! Our chef Yamale was fantastic! The food he cooked throughout our trip was always a pleasure and we looked forward to it every day! So much fun, and would recommend to anyone looking to go on safari in Tanzania. Lastly they picked us up and dropped us off at the airport from two different cities (Arusha and Moshi) thank you Nelson and lastly Martha. A trip of a lifetime with a great company. I look forward to showing off my safari boots when I get home. Asante!

Kili and safari personal package
AT managed to put together a personalised trip for us for both Kili and safari, working around our time frames and budget. Communication was clear and rapid and various questions were answered clearly.
While in Tanzania communication was clear and accurate. The guides were good, the food plentiful and tasty (with excellent fresh veges) and the support excellent.
AT also accommodated my 14 year old son professionally and carefully, particularly on the hill, excellent.

Best first experience
We've been on 4 days safari tour with African Traits. This was our first time in African and thanks to this crew it was realy good experience. Theire were easy to contact with, prompty responsing and always willing to cooperate on terms of our needs.
Durring this time we've seen 3 different parks: Tarangiri, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We've choised to sleep in the tends which was amazing and different experience. We could feel the nature on 100%. That what we've been suprised with was, there always been kithen for the cook and place for running room separated. Showers and toiledes were clean in every camp we've been event in the middle of the Serengeti park.
The quide - Ricardo - was very experinced. He was able to answer for all our questions regarding animals, parks, and trip. He was doing what he could to show us lots of animals. The cook - Assumani - was the best cooke we could ever immagine. He has been suprising us every time he cooked. The food was delicious and more than suficient for us. DELICIOUS.
We highly reccomend this company to travel with. If you are small/big group IT doesn't matter you will always have fun with this guys.

We had a very impressive, best organised safari with African Traits.
Thank you very much to our guide/driver Baga and to our cook Jamal. They are a very good team. We saw a lot of animals, got very intersting informations and the food was delicious. We did a four-day-Camping-Safari and if you are used to do camping, its a good alternative to lodges.
