good customer service but could improve facilities and itinerary.
Always quick email responses to any queries; game drive was great, even though shorter than promised. Bastian camp is amazing. However the car did not have seat-belts so we were risking when driving. The car is not new and we wasted 3 hours while waiting for the car fix. Also, not worth going to Udzungwa National park - expensive entrance, requires 2 hour travel one way via gravel road, you will not reach the top of the mountain since hike reaches only the mid way. The only good thing is that you will see very poor African areas whilst traveling to the national park. Also on the last day we did not get lunch as promised. Instead were taken to the restaurant where driver gets bonus if we buy any food (that was really overpriced, poor quality and we did not have any options to choose except meat heavy buffet).

Overall a great experience totally made our trip great.
I was a little suspicious at first the website wasn't working an so I took a chance on emailing company. They responded promptly but wanted me to pay via email I was very sketched out so I asked if we could pay upon arrival, they responded as yes. I was so worries that when we arrived to Dar es Salaam no one would be there an it would be a scam. This was not that case Tony picked us up at out hotel at 0600 an we began our journey switching vehicles with Nico our tour guide. Nico was very professional an funny man he took us all over the Bush it was great we seen all the animals except a leopard which we searched for. Nico was able to give us great onsite of the park an history we even witnessed a kill. Upon our conclusion of the second day he set us up with a home visit with the masai it was a unique an unforgettable experience. I would definitely do it again.

Fabulous
We did 6 days and 5 nights in mid luxury lodges ( Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake manyara) the price was the most competitive one.
Everything was perfect.. Pick up at the hotel and he left us at the airport..
Rajab provided us a French speaker, we had a big car really confortable for us 2.
The organisation and the plan has been followed during all the trip and the games drive was incredible and also the logdes were we stayed were stunning particularly in Serengeti Park. All the meals provided were really good. I really recommend to live this experience with RajaTours!

Good service for affordable price
It was our (my wife and me) first trip to Tanzania and first safari at all.
We starting the choice of provider for 2 day trip to Mikumi with 3 options and Raja have provided a clear and fast answer with the best price for an individual tour with Swiss Lounge.
A few important points:
1) 30% prepayment to pay via the internet (+4% commission as for almost all card payments in Tanzania)
2) We started a trip around 6 am and I strongly recommend to start it earlier due to traffic (one-way road took more than 8 hours, the same on the way back)
3) All safari took around 4 hours since you arrive to park at 2-3 pm and at 6-7 is already a sunset and on the next day you have only one hour road through a park on the way back
4) We had the change of drivers on the halfway to park and both of them were good, but one had better English and much more interesting stories to tell :)
5) The place with lunch is ok for a toilet stop, but the food is so-so.
No matter of small things, in general, this experience was great, we have succesfully seen what we wanted to see (giraffes, zebras, elephants, impalas, crocodiles, hippos and lion with kids) and now have unforgettable memories.

Just wonderful.
Everything as we expected. Rajab always available to solve any problem. We ask to give us a good guide and a good driver.
Rajab give us Gaston. Very good, excellent driver and great animal expert , extremely available and flexible.
We have chosen medium level accommodation and value for money was perfect.
I highly recommend RajaTours.

EXPLICIT AFRICAN SAFARI EXPERIENCE
Raja tours were very responsive as i initiated my trip. They were quick to respond on how i could plan it with my available budget.
I reccomend them for proper trip arrangements (I visited Selous Game reserve) and great selection of accommodation places.

We are 4 adults who made a Safari southern circuit in private for 13 days with Raja Tours Tanzania.
Communication with Rajabu Msangi was very easy. We had excellent service. The guides were always very punctual, attentive and ensured our safety. The proposed route was very interesting and well balance. We enjoyed the reserve and the 2 parks. Everything was very interesting.The lodges, the hotels and the tent camp were good choices. The meals were excellent, plentiful and varied. We had a wonderful trip. We are satisfied with the trip to Tanzania (southern circuit) and we will not hesitate to recommend Raja Tours Tanzania for a safari. Good value for money.

Unforgettable
Rajabu is a great guy!!! He helped me out with our trip trying to make it fit to my expectations.
We had a couple of unforseen, but he helped us out of them and even compensate us for the inconviniences.
Nice hotels and great parks. We were luck enough to see the Big 5 very close. Drivers and guides also very nice and friendly.
We really love traveling with RajaTours!

Not Great!
This is the review of the service received from Raja Tours ( https://www.rajatours.org/) for the private 5-day Safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) for two, July 2018.
Summary: Overall experience: 3/5 (could have been a lot better only if we had a better guide)
A) Itinerary: 5/5 (Rajab worked with us to customize the plan and select the parks and accommodation we wanted).
B) Driver/Guide: Driving skills 4/5 (Hashim/Hashimu was a very safe driver), Guiding skills: 1/5 (Sadly Hashim wasn't familiar with the parks, hot spots, and routs, however we were lucky enough to follow other drivers/guides to find and see some of the animals. Also, other factors contributed to this rating such as lack of communication, being unfriendly, strong focus on getting out of the park by certain time (we typically ended up at the gate 1 hr ahead of the schedule).
C) Vehicle: 2/5 (old beat-up vehicle (Toyota) with no A/C (cooling/heating), non-reclining seats, and barley functioning windows/doors (some windows wouldn't open/close, some doors wouldn't open, etc)
Again, Rajab was very responsive throughout the booking process and provided us with a great itinerary. However, considering this's a once-in-a-life-time trip, it was disappointing to have an inexperienced unfriendly guide.

Great safari in Ruaha with RajaTours
RajaTours was a great choice for us during our 4 days of safari. They respond quickly and are easy to communicate with, and provided us nice land cruiser, lodge with a stunnish view and great staff all through our stay, especially our guide Imma who was available at all time and found the most nicest scenery for breakfast and lunch break, and was flexible for changes do to our wishes. Ruaha national park was not crowded with tourist and the animals was looking in good shape. The guide had responsible tourism in mind which was a plus for us as well.
