Great Safari and company.
My husband and I chose this company to coordinate our honeymoon in Tanzania and it was the best decision we could have made. The trip went into detail making sure that every single aspect of our trip was exactly what we wanted - it felt like a truly tailor-made experience.
They guide came to pick us up from Kilimanjaro airport with operations team and gave us a briefing on our trip. We were already so excited! everything went perfect. Every hotel that our trip designer recommended was beyond our expectations. Among other hotels, we stayed at the Serengeti heritage tented camp while on safari and the Hilton Double tree in Zanzibar. Both were stunning and the service we received was incredible.
I would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking at a private African safari.

They exceeded our expectations.
As first-time travelers to Africa, we had many questions, and the team responded patiently and with details to all our questions. Our guide and driver was one of the most knowledgeable and friendly tour staff we have ever met - we were sad to leave him. We recommend Travel Partners to anybody wanting to do a safari in Tanzania. Our expectations were high, and they were exceeded!

6-day fly-in safari
Overall, we had a great first-time safari with TravelPartners. Arranging the safari from London was very easy - I was able to tailor our itinerary over Whatsapp and email quickly and efficiently. We paid half upfront by SWIFT transfer and the rest on the ground. Be aware that taxes can be added on to credit card payments, so cash is better.
We flew into the Serengeti on effectively our own charter flight, which was fabulous! We were then picked up by our driver in the Central Serengeti and managed to see a live cheetah kill in the first hour! Our jeep was great - a Landcruiser with a pop-up top. We spent the next few days in the Serengeti seeing all of the big 5 (aside from the rhino) and chasing the migration. We didn’t quite get a river crossing (it was a bit late in the year for that), but had amazing experiences chasing leopards around in the rain and listening to hippos grunting outside our mobile migration camp in the Northern Serengeti.
We drove out of the Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw (at a distance) a black rhino - finally! Our accommodation was mid-high end and was therefore pretty impressive.
The national parks have strict clock-in and out times, which we were unaware of, and this affects how much time you can spend in them on safari, so it is very important to ask for this information up front. As a result, we had an extra day of safari time which we wouldn’t have been able to use if we had not negotiated (while on safari) to include Lake Manyara national park - which worked out well in the end.
As you are now not allowed to go on walking safaris in the Serengeti, you spend a lot of time with your driver, so it’s important to establish a rapport. Anderson, our driver, was very knowledgeable and accomodating. When asked, he was able to offer up lots of interesting facts on what we were seeing.
All in all, we had a great safari experience covering more or less the entire Northern circuit. Flying in saved so much time, allowing us to fit more in. Thank you to the team at TravelPartners!

Africa experts. Great safari.
We have been to Africa before but always stayed at lodges. This time we wanted a tented camp experience and locations in the northern Serengeti for the great migration crossing the river Mara, and I can say is one of the wildest and best experience ever.
Our guide was a gem.. He was very knowledgeable about animals and birds. wonderful books on birds and animals the he would use to answer our questions. over a half mile away and we were the only ones to see her that day. Same for a leopard and seeing it have its lunch. When We visited also a masai Village, we loved this experience and shared with the real masai for the whole morning. We were glad that the company and ourselves could contribute to support economically the community for they live in such a hard conditions.
We had an incredible time. Thanks again guys to make of our safari a fantastic experience.

That was an amazing trip. I recommend it to everyone who want to have a great safari.
I find your company very professional and I was very happy of your services.
The trip was great; food, activities and accommodation were perfect and if I have to do it again I wouldn' t change anything.
I also liked the way you behaved with us, people were very welcoming and helpful.
Great Safari, Greater expectations
My family and I did a 2 weeks Safari which we planned with the people of Travel Partners In Tanzania. It was a tailor made safari, since we have 2 small kids and didn’t want to drive for long hours and specific requirements for lodges camps. They literally took care of everything for us. Our jeep was new, clean and so spacious..! Our driver was so knowledgeable and kind, he really entertained us, we had so much fun. He was very sincerely attentive to our needs. We even learned some swahili.

Overall a great Safari.
My wife and I travelled to Tanzania last Christmas and we had a trip of a lifetime. We booked our safari as a private tour and had 11 days of Safari through Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti We flew from Serengeti to Zanzibar where our driver was waiting for us to transfer us to our Hotel. We spent a wonderful time in the Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu Lake area, Southern and Central Serengeti. We stayed at Heritage Ndutu mobile camp,an it was amazing.....the food was fantastic and the staff could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. The facilities were really good and was so exciting to hear lions at night and buffalos just outside our tent. Of course the most spectacular was to see the Great Migration, thousands of thousands of animals spread in the fields.. was incredible.
Unforgettable beautiful experience ever.
We booked a private five days Safari and covered Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The booking was very easy and the communication went well and their operations team was so fast in responding. The tour through the three National Parks was amazing. We were lucky and saw all the 5 and the whole bunch of other wildlife animals. We chose a nice mixture of Lodges and Tented Camps. All were equipped quite well, the service was amazing and the food was also very good. During the days all of them offered Lunch Boxes which were more than enough. Our guide was fantastic! He was so funny, and well-skilled with animal behaviour, birds and fauna We had amazing and truly unforgettable days thanks to them!

Best partners to go to Tanzania for a Safari. Amazing experience and staff.
Travel Partners made our trip the most memorable one. The trip was above our expectations. Very personal. Very friendly staff.
We met Belen and crew from Travel Partners in Arusha for a brief before the trip to do it the most personal possible and they were very flexible adapting to our request. During the trip Belen was available and responsive for all of our need taking care of us.
Finally we went to four parks, Tarangire, Manyara Lake, Ngoronomo Crater and Serengeti.
Our guide, Thomas, was with us all the days. He made the trip amazing and special. Very patient, he went above and beyond to ensure we saw the big 5, Amazing eyesight, friendly and fun. He knows the parks and the wildlife very well (We love Thomas!). We leave a e-book in a lodge and he did the impossible to find it, brought us the last day to the hotel in Arusha.
We went to four parks, Tarangire, Manyara Lake, Ngoronomo Crater and Serengeti.
They have their own accommodations (awesome safari camp in amazing locations in the bush) but they also have agreements with others lodges in park, if want to go.
Our trip was extraordinary, for anyone looking to explore Africa Travel Partners are the best.
I highly recommend Travel Partners.
Thanks again for everything.
