Awesome experience, can't wait to do more.
Deograsias was always attentive in the planning stage, always responding quickly or updating our agenda when we made requests. His goal is to make his clients happy, this we learned. Our guide Dismas was a dream, we couldn't have had a better companion -- he is highly knowledgeable, responsible, and fun to be with, too. Our lodges and tented camps (Migration and Big Cats trip) were top notch (wifi, ensuite, good hot showers and bedding, often a swimming pool, etc.) , and we had great vegetarian food at each of them. If you go, and you should, be aware that there will be plenty of dust on the drives, so put some face masks in your suitcase, and be prepared for some bumpy roads!

Fantastic Driver and Excellent Service
Thanks to Furahia and our excellent driver Emmanuel who made us enjoy our 17 days-journey for business. At least the long mission journey was less stressful than expected due to the great guidance to the location of the projects as well us during support of translation! Thanks a million. We would always recommend Furahia and Emmanuel...

Professional, outstanding and friendly
I had a fantastic time in Tanzania. Furahia Tanzania had everything sorted out before we arrive. Communication from the first moment was very fluent and we had the possibility to adjust the trip to our own needs.
Everything happened according to what we agreed in advance and there were no surprises or last minute changes.
Our guide Tony (or how we were calling him; "Professor" Tony) really made things amazing. It was key to be with someone friendly, patience and able to answer any question we had about the animals and Tanzania in general. Experience would have been very different if the person driving us through Serengeti was not like him. Also was nice to be with someone that knows very well the National Park and able to take us to different places to see all kind of animals.
Private tours worth every penny. You can stop/go whenever you like and do not need to be compromising what you want to see with other people you do not know.
The camps were we stayed in Serengeti were above our expectations in terms of comfort, quality and style. Food was very tasty as well. It completely worth to pay extra and stay in better accommodations. After spending 10 hours in a Van there is nothing better than arriving to a camp that has good food, hot water and fantastic accommodations. Is very good value for money paying the extra for luxury accommodations.
10 out of 10 in terms of recommending doing the Safari with Furahia Tanzania, you will not regret it!

All in all a fantastic experience!
4.5/5 stars
We had an amazing experience on our private 8 day camping/lodge safari with Furahia (Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti NP with a day in Mto wa Mbu on the way). Our guide and cook were fantastic and the animals we saw blew our expectations away. Honestly, our guide was the best, comparing notes with others on safari we knew we were getting very high quality viewing and his decades of experience really showed in the Serengeti.
On the administrative side, we were able to make a detailed itinerary via email and communication was superb prior to the trip. We also met the owner when we stayed in Mto wa Mbu and he explained the good work the company does that supports the community. We did realize during the safari that our guide did not receive the detailed itinerary that we had made so we had to request and negotiate with the guide and cook the arrival and leave times some days. It can be tiring for the guide especially we understand but we wanted to make the most of our time on game drives so had the times written on the itinerary. The itinerary was also a bit ambiguous about the suggested tipping amount - per car or just the guide.
The campsites were as expected, and the camping gear that we hired was comfortable. The jeep had big windows and was a little worn both inside and out but we had no problems nonetheless. The owner was excellent with flexibility for our campsite in the Serengeti to allow us the best chance to see the wildebeest migration. This showed his dedication to our enjoyment and we really appreciated his efforts. The campsite location proved to be invaluable this season, when the migration was not as far north as expected so we were able to stay central and see the best of everything.
In the end we were extremely happy with our Safari and want to go back!

It was a great safari trip for me
I would say this is a very excellent trip for me during the 8 days in Tanzania. The safari guide is excellent, we have lots of fun during the trip. Lots of my friends want to get more information about this trip when I share my photos in the WeChat, I would no doubt like to recommend this to my friends if they want to visit Tanzania for safari tour. Hopefully I could come to here in near future again.

Excellent safari, nice guide and wonderful experience
The staff at Furahia are wonderful. They were recommended to me by a friend and did not disappoint. The driver guide was knowledgeable and easy going. He knew when to explain and also when not to be too present. He was very nice and a good travel companion during our safari.
Where Furahia stood out was at problem solving. On encountering the unexpected, it really matters what company you chose. Furahia was excellent at solving problems that we encountered during our safari and at Zanzibar. They were easily contacted, good in communication and they solved our problems right away.
I would definitely recommend Furahia as your safari organiser.

a perfect solution for those who like observing animals for a long time
Furahia represents a perfect solution for professional and non professional photographers who desire to discover the natural behavior of the animals under all weather conditions.
The cars have been adapted to capture beautiful images of nature: animals in motion, incessant rain, hard to reach areas. All that a person fallen in love for nature desires to see.
As well the cars are excellent under the point of view of safety and comfort, not luxury but perfect for driving in all contexts and weather conditions. Full of gadgets useful for photography they guarantee a perfect trip.
So that I can testify that my safari was above my expectations thanks to Furahia and thanks to a really professional and excellent Italian guide, an excellent photographer and very professional driver.
Thanks for all. I'll come back next year!!

The Best Day Of Our Life - Highly Recommend - Saw 4 out of the big 5 in a single day in Tarangire NP
Simply cannot praise enough the entire Furahia Tanzania Team for the amazing safari experience we had in Tarangire National Park.
From start to finish, the service has been exceptional. Prompt communication both over email and Whatsapp, meticulous organisation based on all our requirements and needs, great attention to details and impressive knowledge about the area and wildlife. All of the staff speak good English, as well as several languages so conversations were a breeze.
Even though we were very limited with the time we could spend in the area, Jastone, Philbert and the rest of the team made sure we make most of it, with tailoring a cultural tour and safari game drive, as well as managing to arrange brilliant accommodation at Roika Tented Lodge last minute. The diversity of wildlife in Tarangire was amazing, so great advice from Furahia to choose this area for the safari - talking crowds of zebras, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, wildebeests, ostriches, warthogs, antelopes,and many more. Not only that, but we managed to see 4 out of the big 5 in a single day, including lions and leopard, which is unbelievable.
Their vehicles are specially adapted with huge windows, allowing for photography enthusiasts to snap their hearts out through the entire safari.
The best part is that they are a local company, with their owner and staff truly cherishing all of Tanzania's natural and cultural treasures, by also supporting and contributing back the local community and the youth future. Can't recommend this company highly enough!
Thank you sincerely for the amazing experience Furahia team!
