Magical safari experience with Raja Tours
5/5

Raja was one of the few tour companies offering a specific mix of a Kenyan and Tanzanian safari experience which I was seeking and with genuinely affordable rates compared to competitors. I am so happy I narrowed the choices down and went with Raja in the end! Our 6 days spent exploring the Masai Mara (with Tom) and Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara (with Omar) has made for one the most memorable and impactful experiences of my life.
Raja (who I believe owns the company and helps to organise the tour) was available any time I needed and would answer my questions with speed. When you're planning a safari trip, this is very much appreciated as it can be a daunting task! Every detail was well thought out, from the drives to the accommodations - which resulted in a seamless experience overall. A huge thanks to Raja for all his assistance in making my safari dream a reality.
With the experience of both Tom and Omar combined, and a little luck, I was grateful to be able to witness the big five in all their glory as well as many more incredible animals. Nothing beats the feeling of watching these great creatures in their natural habitat. Both guides were incredibly helpful and remained flexible to any specific requests we had - from sourcing a SIM card in Tanzania to chasing down a stunning sunset in the Masai.

From the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you to everyone who made this safari a reality for me. Every moment and memory will hold a special place in my heart for life!
Don't hesitate to book with Raja! You won't regret It.

Exceptional Safari Experience with Knowledgeable Guides!
5/5

Me and my wife recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari adventure with RajaTours and I must say, it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, our journey was very well organised and despite the fact that one of our safari vehicles broke down in Kenya, and unfortunately the mechanics were not able to fix it at that time, but they got us a spare car and we were able to continue our journey. These things can happen to anyone and in the end we were happy how it was handled.

Throughout the entire safari, we were accompanied by two outstanding guides who not only met but exceeded our expectations in every way. We would like to say a massive thank you to Sammy (our guide in Kenya) and Ally (in Tanzania). Both of our guides shared their knowledge of the local wildlife and answered all of our questions.

What stood out the most was their ability to spot and identify all animals and birds in the wild. Their keen eyesight and expert tracking skills ensured that we didn't miss a thing and always had the best view possible.

In conclusion, we really really recommend RajaTours and their guides. Our safari adventure was enriched by their knowledge, passion, and dedication to providing an exceptional experience. If you're looking for a safari tour operator that goes above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable and informative journey through the wild, look no further. RajaTours is the way to go! Thank you for the memories of a lifetime.

Highly recommend
5/5

We have just finished a 6 day Kenya/Tanzania safari with Raja Tours and travelled from London. We chose Raja as their prices were much better than the large international companies and we wanted to spend our money with a “smaller” company where the money would go to the people of Tanzania. We had ability to chose our accommodation, Rajab was responsive and helped provide quotes for lots of accommodation options as requested. The trip was amazing from start to finish - we had guides Robert in Kenya and Nora in Tanzania - both absolutely amazing and we got on so well with them both, very knowledgable and safe drivers, respectful of the animals. We highly recommend RajaTours. We were worried about there being not so many reviews but there was nothing to fear - the trip was seamless and one of the best holidays so far. Thank you Rajab and team!

Raja arranged a brilliant Safari for my partner and I, couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
5/5

Raja arranged the most amazing Safari! We truly had the best time! Ludovice our guide was brilliant, so knowledgable and friendly! The food he brought for lunch were delicious and he made sure we were well hydrated! The hotel (Safari Lodge Nyerere) was great, the staff were amazing. My partner was unwell and they arranged to get him medicine from the local hospital, they really couldn’t have been kinder. The rooms were also wonderfully done, I would really recommend people stay there!

Raja Tours were great with communication and we kept in touch in the weeks leading up to the Safari - he was always on hand answering our questions!

All in all I would highly recommend the company!

A Dream
5/5

The safari with RajaTours was an incredible experience. Great value compared to other safari companies. We saw all the animals we set out to see, plus many more that I had no idea we would see. I began to take notes every night because we saw and learned so much daily, I never wanted to forget! Food provided was excellent, lodging was beautiful, guides were knowledgeable and kind (Daniel and Alan). Pre-trip communication was minimal, cash-only is something we aren’t used to in the US, but they delivered and I would recommend them to anyone. Hope to go back one day.

A world class team and trip!
5/5

This trip was meant as a special week for my son and I after a difficult year. Rajabu was professional and prompt with all comms and helped us organise a wonderful safari that took into account all of our interests and considered the travel needs of a mother and child. When we struggled with visa issues, the team was helpful to sort this. We arrived to see the smiling face of Geoff, who provided us insights to the local culture, the parks and answered all of our questions about the animals. He was a fantastic guide who helped us feel welcome in Kenya. When we moved over to Tanzania, Alan was just as incredible, discussing all the local cultural tidbits you could never get from a book. He helped us see the parks as animal reserves and my son felt encouraged to learn more about how to do more to help local people. He was also a keen photographer and gave us loads of help to capture some memorable photos! We were able to go on a tour of a local village, learning about beer making, woodcraft and cycling through neighbourhoods - something we never thought to do while on a safari!
From start to finish, we had a wonderful time and have taken our notes of this trip and shared with several friends who now hope to see Kenya and Tanzania in 2024. Thank you to the entire team! We look forward to seeing you on a future tour through East Africa, sometime soon.

A very special, personalized, and memorable trip!
5/5

RajaTours put together a personalized safari of Kenya and Tanzania under a very short timeline. Raja was extremely responsive via WhatsApp, and both of our safari guides were excellent. We took this trip shortly after being engaged, and Raja even added personalized touches to make the trip special. Not to mention the price was very competitive. Both guides were experts in their field with lengthy careers in guiding. Our guides were willing to accommodate changes and personal interests each say. We saw the big 5 and the great migration! A once in a lifetime opportunity!

Amazing, authentic, friendly, helpful and professional
5/5

Rajab was amazing from the start. He was super responsive and flexible when discussing and organizing the tour. When travelling there, we had an issue with Kenyan visa and Rajab was super helpful and amended the itinerary in the last moment.

Once we arrived, everything was planned perfectly. Alen - the most knowledgeable and cool guide in Tanzania picked us up and we began the most amazing 5 days in Tanzania. Alen was driving us to remote areas of the parks, enabling us to observe and admire the animals from up close and away from the numerous tourists. The most amazing experience was being caught up in the way of 40+ elephants, walking 1m away from our jeep. Alen also ensured we had the best lunches of all the safari agencies, always finding the perfect spots and preparing the food as in a restaurant :)

The accommodation was also really well chosen - we tried everything from less to more luxorious tents, to more fancy lodges.

We really really recommend RajaTours, especially if combining Tanzania with Kenya. The transition of the driver and vehicle was smooth, and also Daniel - our guide in Kenya - was super nice. Very knowledgeable, communicative and explained everything thoroughly.

All in all, RajaTours is definitely the agency you should choose if looking for an authentic and genuine experience in Tanzania and/or Kenya. You will have an experience of a life time!

Perfect trip which offered any of the best attractions of Kenya and Tanzania - best guides for sure!
5/5

We had the pleasure to have a Safari with Raja, starting and ending in Nairobi, following several national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Both of our guides (Jeff & Alan) were very kind and patient with a lot of specific knowledge and very safe driving skills. All the lodges we visited were on a very high standard and we enjoyed any of the stays. The mixture of lodges and tented camps was perfect any we do not have any complaints about this.
To our Safari-experience, we were extremely lucky to see all the big five within the days in a very rare condition, for example some cubs or hunting lions - just breathtaking! Thanks to the big experience and knowledge of the two guides, we had some very special encounters. Specially to talk about Lake Ndutu, which is not on every list for Safaris but very worth to make a stop between Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP.

Last but not least as well big thanks to Rajab from RajaTours, very easy to organize the safari, very good price for an unforgetable trip in Kenya and Tanzania. Thanks a lot!
