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.

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!!

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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic safari!
Tired of the evasive answers we got (or not) from other sites we looked for to organize our safari, we found Tazama African Holidays. Anthony Gitau responded immediately to our email and phone calls. He seems available 24/7! Anthony is punctual, reliable and very professional. Good advice, listening to our requests, even if they make changes to the planing of the day. His choice for our accommodations was excellent: a high standard for a very reasonable price (compared to other safari operators). Nothing to complain about, no negative criticism. Excellent value. No hesitation, we will go back in the wilderness with Anthony. Gilles and his wife, from France: a week in Nakuru and Masai Mara, beginning of October 2018.

Excellent from start to finish
This was an excellent safari, the whole process was handled well by Anthony from booking through to the first half of the Safari. We were then handed over to David who was an excellent guide through the Mara where he took us for close ups with lions, cheetah and leopards. the accommodation Anthony chose was superb and they offered fantastic food. We were then dropped back to our hotel and given two free transfers to the airport as we had different flights and the drivers looked after us superbly.
I would thoroughly recommend Tazama Africa Holidays who made our holiday in Kenya fantastic.

A perfect organization that allowed to fully enjoy with no stress. Antony and Charles are very kind.
A safari in the Maasai Mara is a once in a lifetime thing. So we wanted it to be perfect.
We compared 6/7 safari operator to find the best offer in order to optimize our 2.5 days, our wallet and our experience.
We finally booked out safari through Tazama with an accommodation at the Ilkeliani Mara Camp and it went way beyond our expectations.
Antony (Tazama’s director) and Charles (our driver/guide) were adorable and very helpful. We forgot our passports at our hotel and Antony went to pick it up for us and brought us back when we came back from the safari.
Since they picked us up at the hotel we booked in Nairobi, everything was 100% perfectly organized.
The gamedrives in the camp were also very successful. We saw all the animals several times (except the rhino), thanks to Charles.
The camp experience is also something. You get a tent in the middle of the forest, 10m from the river, very well equipped. You wake up with the baboons and the food is… truly amazing.
Tips: if you come for your birthday, don’t forget to let the team know. You’ll get a wonderful surprise.
