Great safari
October 2018
We began looking for a Safari and found the “sea” of companies confusing and exhausting. Because we have done Safari’s in the past, we knew what we wanted. We attempted to speak with many agencies and the first thing most companies wanted was “our budget”, nothing about what we wanted to do on the Safari. Or an agency would send a “cookie cutter” plan.
By chance we found TAZAMA AFRICA HOLIDAYS with ANTHONY GITAU. He was the director of the agency and our driver/ guide too! We exchanged one email and after that spoke directly to him on the phone. We sorted out together what the package would consist of. He was very clear as to what would be included and what would not be concluded, no surprises. Whenever we called him he picked up the phone, imagine that! We were sold after that!
Throughout the Safari with Anthony to Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara, he delivered EVERYTHING he promised plus more. We enjoyed a 7 day safari with him. He drove an comfortable and good functioning land cruiser for the duration of our trip. He has an excellent command of the english language.
He was very knowledgeable about the cultures of Africa, the animals, etc. We shared many good conversations with him.
He choose for us amazing, luxurious accommodations, that cared for our every need.
He was honest, punctual, professional, very flexible, kind, genuine, and always concerned about how we were doing.
Avoid the agencies that charge you Thousands of dollars for the same package. Use TAZAMA AFRICA HOLIDAYS with ANTHONY GITAU and rest assured you will get what you asked for. Without any hesitation, I will give his name to all my friends and fellow travelers, and return for another trip with him.
We cannot thank him enough!

Five Star Service with Tazama Africa Holidays
My latest trip with a few friends from South Africa was in Kenya, specifically Aberdare, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. We could not have chosen any other places, thanks for the services of Tazama Africa. In particular I want to thank Antony who helped to organize the trip and our driver Peter. Antony was very efficient in organizing the trip, responding to our emails on the same day and feeding us with ideas of the best places to go during our one week break. Peter on the other hand is well informed about the places we visited and has a vast knowledge of the wildlife animals, birds and other interesting facts about Kenya. Besides he was always punctual, always willing to help and with a good sense of humor. We were very satisfied with our trip and cannot hesitate to recommend Tazama Africa Holidays to anyone planning to travel to East Africa.

Excellent Safari Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Park with TAZAMA Africa Holidays.
We just got back from our safari 5 days and 4 nights in the parks of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Park and I have only words of thanks to Antony.
At all times the communication was fast and easy, since we started mails with our requests for a completely personalized and private safari.
We had very high expectations and actually have met, I can say that Antony keeps his word and is a very good driver, skilled and courteous at all times, knowledgeable about safaris, always attentive to the station and his own instinct to locate and view the big five.
He mades it very pleasant at all times car journeys between parks, consistent with our requests and needs.
TAZAMA Africa Holidays is a newly established company and his owner Antony is enough for their guests to make them happy and can fully enjoy the experience.
I definitely recommend TAZAMA Africa Holidays to everyone who wants to make an excellent safari, we will repeat again without hesitation.
Antony Thanks for your great work, see you soon.

Fantastic!!
It has been a very beautiful experience. Private Safari for Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Park. Tazama Africa is a highly recommended company. Especially Antony.
He took us the last day in Nairobi to various places (giraffe center, elephant orphanage, Karen house, pearl factory and even we went to eat at the Carnivore restaurant). He is a very nice and accommodating person. Tazama Africa deserves a 5 !!

It was great experience
We were a group of 11 students from Japan.
We went safari game drive for a week at Masai Mara National Reserve with two drivers, Jack and Anthony. They were very kind, friendly, have great driving skills and knowledge about wild animals and birds.
We really enjoyed our trip with them.
They helped us a lot during our trip so we felt very comfortable.
I recommend Tazama Africa Holidays as a partner with your Safari Game Dive. I’m sure they will make your travel in Africa very exciting and wonderful experience.

Incredible Lifetime Experience in Masai Mara
Antony Gitau of Tazama Africa Holidays was recommended to us by friends who live in Kenya and his services were fantastic. We had a very last minute change to our itinerary, one day, to add another 3 day safari in Masai Mara and Anthony came through with accommodating our wishes that far exceeded our expectations. Anthony was able to book our accommodations at a safari camp inside of Masai Mara that was incredible, the location, the staff, the food, just fantastic. Even last minute during the height of the tourism season he provided a driver, Steven, who was so nice, patient, knowledgeable about the animals and maneuvering around the reserve to give us an experience of a lifetime. Anthony was very easy to communicate with...he met us at the beginning of the safari as well as at the end and accommodated us to the airport, as this portion of our visit to Kenya was the end. I would definitely use the services of Antony with Tazama Africa Hoildays for our next safari adventure. Unforgettable, wonderful experience!!

Amazing Holiday
Memorable trip with an amazing guide. Antoni was a superstar who made us see the best side of the Masai Mara. Myself and 3 friends of mine went during the low season and the conditions weren't in our favor. Despite that, Antoni went above and beyond and allowed us to see the Big Five! He was passionate and very attentive to our needs.
Couldn't recommend him more.

Great service mind
We went on a 3 days trip to Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya with Tazama.
This is a newly open company. But I can say, our driver, Anthony, is very full of experiences.
With 12 years of experiences of driving in every safaris in Kenya, our driver knows all the best routes in Masai Mara. We saw a lot of wildlife during our trip. It was one of my best memories in life.
On the way back to Nairobi, the road was full of mud because of the rain. The condition was really bad. We had encountered 6 road blocks because some cars stuck in the mud. But every time, our driver can control his land cruiser and take all of us through the obstructs. He knows all the shortcuts to get us to the city because the traffic is too bad.
In the end, we arrived at our hotel safely and faster than everyone else. We were really impressed by his driving skill and his knowledge of the park. Plus, he still remain calm and happy despite all the traffics, the rain, the 3 days of driving non-stop.
If I ever has a chance to go to Kenya again, I will definitely contact Tazama Holidays. I know I'll never be disappointed.

Great 3 day safari!
A group of 4 friends and I went on a safari with Antony in the Masaai Mara and it was great. He was very attentive to our needs, and generally great to be around. He explained things in detail when we asked, and otherwise let us have our own time and work with our schedules and preferences. He was a lot of fun to chat with.
He's also a hard worker, and despite the low season when we went, Antony went out of his way to ensure we would see as much as possible. He is very respectful of the environment but still managed to get us to see all the Big Five and many other rarities.
Antony was also a phenomenal driver. The conditions were not great (very muddy), but we always felt safe and he took the necessary precautions to stay where it was safe.
He was a pleasure of a guide and I recommend him greatly.

I planned my own 2 weeks, Antony was my Safari guide
The experience was unforgettable. Antony never stopped finding the best for me. As a solo traveller I could not have asked for more in service, communication always the gentleman he took time. It was an adventure to remember, the animals I saw ...it was remarkable thanks to the best guide.
