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!

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.

We were traveling in July 2017 at Kilimanjaro Tarangire and Ngorongoro, was great
Everything we had booked about Furahia has been wonderful. The transfer to the jeep was great. The drivers on the safari communicated very well, explained many things and gave experiences and knowledge of the animals and continued very well. It took us all 9 people very much fun with the trekking company Furahia to travel anytime again kind regards from the Swiss Marc
