Brill Trip with a Great Guy
Anthony is open to any requirements you have, or any specific things you wish to do - my only advice is, just trust him and the process!
I did an amazing 11 day Safari - and enjoyed every second.
I did worry at first that maybe it was too long, as many others had been on maybe 3 or 4 days...well, in the end, I wished I could have stayed longer!
It has been an incredible experience, I saw all the animals I dreamed of and many - with the red elephants of Tsavo a personal favourite!
The accommodation was great and the company even better.
Anthony is somebody who really cares about what you experience and what you see - you can’t buy that, but it is so much better because of it!
Enjoy!

A company you can trust
I have been on safari in Kenya over 20 times, but this was my first time using Tazama Africa Holidays. Their safari was so good that I would ask for them again next time.
I was looking for a private tour with lodge accommodation instead of camping, so I was prepared to pay much, but the tour was very reasonably priced.
And in order to cut costs, I asked for a minivan instead of a four-wheel drive, but they said, "It's raining a lot," and sent me a four-wheel drive and didn't charge me extra. In fact, it rained a lot and I think the minivan would have gotten stuck.
Antony, who we had been communicating with via email from Japan, was our safari guide.
He found Tano Vora (five cheetahs) as soon as we arrived in the Masai Mara, also spotted a rare lion in Lake Nakuru, and three times we saw cheetahs which are rare in Amboseli. I think his skills are very good.
I had a really wonderful game-driving, ‘cause as I said I wanted to see the sunrise he could prepare breakfast early in the morning, and had a full day drive from 6:00 am to 5:45 pm, he had given me everything I've ever wanted.
He did a good job of stopping the car right in front of the animals, and also answered all of my detailed requests, such as "Back up another 50 centimeters! I was happy to get the photos I wanted.
I didn't specify a lodge, but all the lodges he offered me were very nice.
Especially, the Base camp I stayed at in the Masai Mara, it was a very good room along the river and I could spend a luxurious time.

Best Safari experience!
I'll get straight to the point - book with Tazama African Holidays if you want an amazing and hassle-free Safari experience! It was our first safari and we already had high expectations, but thanks to Tazama our expectations were exceeded in every single aspect.
Everything from communication, organisation, service, wildlife spotting, safety, accommodation and guide friendliness/professionalism was just to the highest standard.
We had the pleasure of doing the safari with the company's founder Antony and he was professional, polite, friendly and knowledgeable. I honestly can not think of a way he could have done a better job. He has more than a decade of experience but he still goes out of his way to find wildlife. Antonys energy and commitment to us customers is really admirable.
I also think he found a good balance between sharing information about the wildlife and simply letting us enjoy the moment.
In the end he even offered to store some of our luggage while we went to Diani Beach and took us to a local restaurant to have some - absolutely delicious - Nyama Choma.
We honestly couldn't have asked for more. I'm sure that you will have a great experience with any of the drivers as I trust Antony's standards of quality.
Also, we traveled during the pandemic and I have to say we felt quite safe as Antony wore a mask at all times and even provided us with masks and hand sanitizer.

Unforgettable adventure
Wow what a trip! We decided to do a 5 day safari tour and Antony went above and beyond to make this trip unforgettable. Our initial uncertainty about traveling during the pandemic quickly evaporated, we felt very safe. Antony had masks and disinfectants ready in the car and all of the accommodations we visited went to great lengths to comply with hygiene regulations.
Our tour started in Masai Mara and from the first moment it was clear to us that we were dealing with a real expert. Antony knew all the animals' territories, found hidden big cats and was able to answer all of our questions about the wild animals. Our absolute highlight was the lion family with their four cubs right next to our Land Cruiser. The accommodations were also incredible, two of the camps are located in the middle of the national parks - in Masai Mara a hippopotamus ran past us at breakfast, in Ol Pejeta we could watch the rhinos directly from our terrace.
Just contact Antony directly, he will answer very quickly and can adapt the safari to suit your needs. We really wanted to try the national dish Nyama Choma (not an official part of a safari) and Anthony just stopped with us on the way to the next national park and took us to a local restaurant - absolutely the best food!

Amazing!!
My first African safari experience was magical and its all thanks to Tazama African Holidays. Our tour guide was Andrew, and i honestly had the time of my life. Andrew went above and beyond for us. Always reassuring our safety, very knowledgeable, very attentive to details and friendly. Everything went so smoothly, from the arrangements, to booking, to checking in to our lodges just everything in general. The most important thing for me is memories, and this experience is a memory that i will NEVER forget!

Best experience ever!!!
Our Safari with Tazama Africa Holidays was really amazing even when we had to postpone it for a year due to COVID 19. Antony was really attentive with my wife and I and made our experience enjoyable and unique. He also was able to remember all the requests I made when I booked the Safari back in 2019, he made sure my wife had a special day for her birthday at the camp where we were staying (Entim Mara Camp), and also he made sure we get our COVID test in time in order we could depart to our next destination. Our game driver guide (Steven) was also amazing. He has a lot of knowledge about the Masai Mara and all the species that live there. He was really attentive with us and was able to show us 4 out of the Big Five we can see at the Masai Mara. We really enjoyed our time there and we really appreciate Tazama Africa Holidays.

Excellent Photo Safari
It was amazing experience and fantastic tour with “Tazma Africa Holidays”. My main purpose of the visit is to see and take wildebeest river crossing photo and I could see 3 times. Not only wildebeest I could see Lion, cheetah and Leopard those big cats with cubs, cheetah hunting, Lion mating of course big 5. Car is well prepared for photo and Antony could make always with good position, angle for photo. This was my 5th safari experience in Kenya and best. If I have a chance next I’m surely use them again. Thank you Antony.
