An experience of a lifetime
We booked a 14 Day tour with Tazama which included an 11 Days Safari and a 3 stay in Diani. All we had to do was give Antony a budget and he organised the rest for us. Antony is quick to reply and very accommodating. When we had to change the dates of our trip on very short, he rearranged everything on very short notice and made sure the trip would still run smoothly.
Our Guide was Andrew and he was a major reason why we enjoyed our safari so much. Andrew is very friendly, punctual and open. His enthusiasm for wildlife and Kenyan culture is absolutely contagious. He was able to cater to all our wishes e.g. leaving a little later and made sure we felt happy throughout the tour!
During our 2 weeks we saw as many animals as we could have hoped for and Andrew always found perfect photography spots for us! In addition we saw stunning landscapes and got to know the Kenyan culture. All lodges Antony picked for us were perfect and had amazing food.
We would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to book a trip with Tazama!

Amazing journey to remember forever!
Me and my husband had a 5-day safari trip with Tazama Holidays. First of all, I would like to thank our most amazing guide and driver Jack! He is smart, kind, has a great sense of humor, drives very carefully. Jack told us many interesting facts about life in Kenya and of course about animals during the safari - it was a pleasure to talk to him. We managed to see many many birds and animals and enjoyed the trip a lot thanks to Jack.
I would also like to mention that the trip was organized very well, and Anthony, the owner of Tazama, was very helpful when we were just planning the trip.
If you want to have an experience which you’ll remember forever, don’t hesitate to choose Tazama!

Tazama Africa Holidays Safari Tour
What a great trip!
Saw all of the big 5 in the short space of a few days. Our tour guide Andrew really new the habits of the animals. His extensive knowledge on all the native birds was also a great bonus!

Grand tour
Great tour exceeded my expectations, very good hotels and at a super price, the best thing is that they are very reliable, I left a deposit before the pandemic and almost three years later I was able to take the tour and they kept my deposit

Organisers of the perfect safari in Kenya!
Booked a bespoke package with Tazama to spend 1 night in Leopard Hill Camp (Naibosho Conservancy) followed by two nights in Entim Camp (Massai Mara).
Antony was very patient with us prior to booking whilst we went through various options and decisions. Upon arrival, Tazama did not disappoint.
In Naibosho, our fantastic guide John bent over backwards to deliver a perfect game drive experience in the conservancy (providing a perfect location for sundowners, and also facilitating a night drive). He was extremely knowledgable, an excellent driver in difficult terrain, and made us feel very welcome.
The staff back at the Leopard Hill Camp itself were very accommodating - the view was second to none, as was the food. I would not hesitate in recommending anyone to stay any period of time in this camp.
As we moved into the Mara, we swapped guides for Jack, an equally fantastic guide, for the duration of our stay. Again, he was extremely well versed in the terrain and all the facts anyone would want to know about any of the animals.
Our in the Mara, Entim Camp, was similarly impressive - all staff (in particular Mary!) made us feel welcome and like nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend staying here due to its proximity to the Mara River (particularly useful for Great Migration season).
Would easily recommend using Tazama again: the only thing I would add is that overcommunicating to upcoming guests about their itineraries (mostly particulars in relation to domestic flights if they are part of a package) would help really provide peace of mind.

Professional Arrangements and Drivers
I have safaris every year for 30 years and I think this company is the best.
The manager, Antony, is also a driver, so he is very knowledgeable about the newest information of national parks and animals. Usually managers are not familiar with wildlife as they work a desk job in Nairobi.
Drivers of Tazama Africa are sensitive to the animals' movements and try to anticipate them, so they can always park the cars in good positions. Very professional.

Unforgettable Safari with Tazama in Kenya and Tanzania
This was our second trip with Tazama, and it was just as wonderful as the first one. This time we did a 2-week safari to Kenya and Tanzania. Antony, the owner, was incredibly helpful in customising our tour and providing advice on routes, locations and more. The accommodations Antony picked for us, especially at Ashnil Samburu Camp in Samburu and Ilkeliani Camp in Mara, were stunning and had delicious food without exception.
Our guides, Andrew and Jake (Kenya)/ Shaukat (Tanzania), were very kind, flexible, and knowledge of the wildlife/culture made our safari .
They were attentive to our interests, always eager to spot wildlife and accommodate our requests e.g. going on safari earlier/ later. We enjoyed that the guides were very respectful towards wildlife but we were still able to see the animals up close due to their ability to predict animal movements. Andrew's ability to position the car for perfect light and composition was particularly appreciated for taking wonderful pictures.
Overall, our safari with Tazama was fantastic, and we're already looking forward to our next trip!

The best safari company
This was the most amazing trip we have ever had with Tazama Africa Holidays. Each day the trip got better and better.The accommodations and the guide were the best.Before the trip my wife and i were nervous staying in tents but the tents were better than the 5 star hotels we stayed.
We can't thank Antony the owner of the company for planning the best trip ever.
Our guide Andrew was wonderful,experienced,punctual and knowledgeable of the highest order.
We saw an incredible variety of animals including lions,leopards,cheetahs,rhinos,elephants and much more.
The all inclusive experience made it easy for us to sit back and enjoy each other company for the whole safari.
I can't recommend Tazama Africa Holidays and in particular Antony and Andrew.
Thank you for a wonderful and a memorable experience.

Best safari operator
My wife and I recently spent fabulous 10 days on safari with Tazama Africa Holidays through Olpejeta conservancy ,lake Nakuru national park and Maasai Mara national.
I contacted 15 different companies and Tazama Africa holidays was our favorite.
Antony the owner was extremely fast,efficient,helpful and above all he went above to come up with the best itinerary and luckily he is a guide by profession.
He proposed an itinerary for us the was friendly to our budget and more so a relaxing one.
Our guide Jack was fantastic,experienced,knowledgeable and he understands animal behavior extensively and knew when to move on and when to hang around a little longer for a chance to see a chase. We saw three chases in the Maasai Mara: a lion chasing a zebra, a pair of cheetahs chasing an impala, a leopard hunting and the same two cheetahs finally overtaking a small eland. Jack also has a photography background, which allowed him to get us into great position for pictures. We saw every animal we could have hoped for and it exceeded our expectations .
We greatly appreciated the flexibility to create the trip of a lifetime. Likewise, being picked up at the airport and dropped off at the airport for the flight home came without a hitch. We highly recommend Tazama Africa Holidays for the ease of communication, designing the trip, and for a trip beyond our expectations
Thank you Antony and Jack for creating our outstanding and memorable experience.
