Trip to Tanzania
My wife and I went with another couple on a 5 day safari in Tanzania with Travel Partners. We visited 3 national parks, including a 2-night stay in the Serengeti. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and spoke very good English. We all had a great time, and I've already recommended it to other friends.
Can’t say it was the best experience in my life
Things I liked:
- beautiful nature and animals;
- accommodation was perfect;
- the car was new and safe;
And what spoiled my impression:
- our guide wasn’t a real guide. I would say that it was a driver. I don’t remember anything interesting he told us about wildlife.
- a lot of cheating everywhere. It would be nice if a travel company or a guide warned tourists against all those beggars on every step. In a massai village native people literally extorted 40$ from us. It’s one of the points of the tour and I felt unsafe there.
- 5-days tour is very long. In fact, 3-4 days is enough for what we have seen. On the 3 day in serengety the driver dragged time and we drove with the speed 20 km ph. At 3 pm he brought us to the lodge. The only thing we saw on the fifth day is massai village (15 min) and then at 11 am we arrived in Arusha.
- there were a lot of misunderstanding with the guide and the manager. They asked additional money for massai village (100$ pp) inspite it was included into our package. Only my email to another manager helped. Plus, initially we agreed to leave us at the border with Kenya after our tour. They said that it’s no problem, it’s on our way. At the end of our trip our guide asked 100$ for it. That’s so miserable.

Magical Serengeti Safari Experience, Impeccable Organization
I went to the Serengeti to spend the New Year with my partner. The experience was mind blowing and beyond our expectations. I loved how the tented camps were set up and the attentive staff who were ever so helpful. For a city guy like me, waking up in the middle of the open Savannah was just a magical experience. I would love to thank Travel Partners for doing such a great job in organizing our safari trip and in making it truly unforgettable.

They were great - they thought of everything and made our trip positively memorable.
The communication and planning were on point. They provided all the details we needed before we asked for them! Very pro-active and accommodating. They exceeded our expectations! Thank you.

a worthwhile experience
Great safari. We were 12 people but travel partners were able to fit all our requirements. We visited Arusha waterfalls and National park it was really beautiful. Later on we visited Manyara and Ngorongoro crater. The best thing was sleeping in a tent and hear the animals at night. A worthwhile experience recommended to all adventure lovers.

Amazing Lifetime Experience with Outstanding Tour guides
We just came back home from incredible custom tailored Safari trip . This 10 day tour( 2 days Kenya & 8 days in Tanzania) with family is beyond expectations. Thanks to Travel Partners for making sure trip was smooth and memorable. All in all our game drives with experienced tour guides was amazing and everything was well arranged and service was outstanding. Family had a great time enjoying nature’s wonderful sights. Travel Partners was flexible and could accomodate last minute changes.
We were just amazed by everything we saw and experienced during our game drives. We are so lucky to see “big fives” almost everyday of our trip. Our resorts and camps were really incredible, both from a location, convenience, and comfort perspective. Hilary Baraca and Thomas, our talented guides were very accommodating, hospitable, and flexible and same time attentive to group's needs. Apart from our guides their manager Eric from Travel Partner is extremely helpful in in, it was an awesome and ones in lifetime experience!
It is truly a dream and lifetime experience that i wouldn’t mind to repeat

very professional and friendly.
My experience with travel partners from the start to finish was amazing! I reached out looking to do a Safari and Zanzibar, and travel partners helped me come up with the best itinerary for me. I got quick responses and quick solutions. I loved how flexible travel partners were with what I wanted to get out of my experience. We stayed at the Manyara Safari Lodge for the Safari and it was excellent! The facilities were clean and peaceful and the staff were very lovely! I would recommend travel partners time and time again to anyone that asks!

Great guide / planner / equipment
Jackson was a wonderful guide. He used his knowledge of the area, experience with the wildlife, and what he learned about us to constantly position us for the best experiences.
Our planner, Timothy, provided good advice and helped us schedule+book lodges and our guide. He was constantly available for questions and very friendly.
The safari jeep was is good working order. No issues across our 7 days.
Jackson drove from Arusha to Serengeti to meet us at an airfield. We then spent the next week working our way back. Great trip.
The accounting team at travel partner is difficult to deal with. Paying by credit card is spotty. Wire transfers take longer than other places. Good luck if you are due a refund.
