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.

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.

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

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!

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!

5 day safari, aberdares, Lake nakuru and maasai mara
Our safari with tazama was great. The communication during booking was very good and informative although occasionally needed to wait a day or two for response.
The arrangements all worked well and were punctual.
The driver/guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He also was willing to make a couple of extra stops on request.
The accommodation booked was great. The national parks visited were very good except the ark in the aberdares where few animals graced us with their presence.

Perfect experience on a 15 day Kenyan safari
We spent two fantastic weeks visiting the best kenyan parks, enjoying a lifetime experience thanks to Tazama. Thank you Antony for organising the trip acording to all our requests and to our incredible guide Henry. We could not be more happy. We highly recommend them.
