Amazing! Lost for words
Four our us on tour with a dedicated driver, Andrew. He couldn't have done more for us - early mornings, long days, spotting animals and birds for us at every turn. We stayed in 8 different camps - from tents to lodges. All were fabulous - lots of food, comfortable rooms, welcoming staff. We saw just about every animal you would expect to see, and so many babies. Sunrises and sunsets. Andrew was happy to be up early for sunrise (and knew just where to find the best spot for photos), stay later for sunsets (with elephants and Mt Kilimanjaro a highlight), the hours he put in were over and above. Cheerful all the time - even when the truck needed a thorough wash after a muddy rainstorm.
We couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. The trip of a lifetime made perfect by Tazama Holidays.

Prompt, professional and extremely knowledgable.
Our tour exceeded our expectations. From the camps to the game drives everything blew our minds. It was so wonderful to know we were taken care of and didn't have to worry about anything. It was very nice having the cooler of water in the vehicle, much appreciated. The communication between Antony and myself was lightning fast and he was very patient with me and all my questions. I absolutely thought the value was worth every penny. From the game drives, food (every place was incredible) lodging and just the scenery. I would go back in a heart beat and have already recommend Tazama to everyone who is interested. Every employee either from Tazama or one of the camps were so lovely, kind and helpful if anything was needed. Felt so comfortable and two weeks later and still smiling ear to ear from such a fantastic trip.

A lifetime experience!
We did a 5-day safari trip with Anthony, the owner of the company, and it was beyond amazing!!
The communication before coming to Africa worked very well, Anthony picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi. Our first night in the Sweetwater Lodge in the Ol Pejeta conservancy was so great, we got an extra upgrade and had such a beautiful tent. From our veranda we could watch the elephant and the giraffes walking by to drink from the waterhole. For us, that was the most magical moment of the whole trip!
Also our accommodations in the Nakuru national parc and the Masai Mara were so beautiful, the staff was always very friendly and helpful.
On the game drives we did every day twice, Anthony showed us all the animals we could wish for. Rhinos, elephants, zebras, lions (also the cabs), giraffes, cheetahs and many many more. We also had the chance to watch a hyena while hunting and killing a gazelle. We felt very safe in every moment and besides the game drives we really enjoyed having long conversation with Anthony about the culture and people of Africa.
In total, we can highly recommend Tazama Africa holidays for doing a safari in Kenya! Thank you again Anthony for this trip, this was a lifetime experience!

Loved it!
The safari was the best thing I've ever done. On the first day alone, we saw the big 5! The accomodation that we had arranged was so cool, there were hippos right outside the river next to our accomodation. I cannot wait to go back! We spent four days on the safari, and even though we saw a lot we wish we could have stayed longer. Our guide, Josphat was amazing. We learnt a lot from him and want to thank him again for an amazing trip. Price was high; but competitive compared to others.

Excellent service providing a superb safari, John was the perfect guide
An incredible safari experience from start to finish, excellent accommodation at Ilkeliani and Lerai camps. John Wanjau was my guide and he was exceptional, he was incredibly knowledgeable and had an expert eye for spotting animals and birds. Being a birder I was constantly asking to stop to look at small birds I had spotted and John helped me to identify them. The highlights must be the hyena carrying the zebra head, and the serval hunting and catching a rat. The walking safari at Lerai camp was also excellent, Steve the guide showed me the local birds and helped me see 15 new species I hadn’t yet spotted!
An excellent safari and Tazama were brilliant, Antony was so quick at responding to messages so booking was easy. I shall be returning to Kenya in future!

Efficient, organized, and responsive
I had a lovely week in Kenya. Antony was responsive and reliable and the guide, Moses, was exceptional. No complaints. My only recommendation for improvement is to get a more secure payment method (I am not a fan of paypal). Fortunately all the reviews gave me confidence and I had no issues. Great work Anthony!

One of my most beautiful experiences
We booked a 7 day safari through Tazama Africa holidays. Everything was just perfect.
Starting with the uncomplicated handling with Antony, who always writes back very quickly by email with questions or requests. We visited the following national parks: samburu nr, ol pejeta, lake nakuru and masai mara. Our guide was Moses we saw so many animals and he explained so much about the creatures, plants but also about the different cultures in Kenya.
You can tell right away that he tries very hard and loves his job very much.
It was one of my best experiences so far.
If we ever decide to go on safari again it will be through Tazama Africa holidays :)

Very knowledgeable, friendly and well-organized
Going on safari with Tazama tours was a true once in a lifetime experience. Antony went above and beyond to make sure we have a good experience - from adjusting the schedule to our wishes to bringing us to spots that few others seemed to know - would 100% recommend.

Best week of our lives!!!
The whole trip from the beginning till the end was perfect!
We booked the 7 Day Safari for our honeymoon and my husband thought at first that it would be a bit too long, but on the day 7 we actually didn’t want to leave.
Antony, our guide and Tazama‘ owner, was very caring and attentive to all our wishes and needs.
He called to each of our 4 lodges/camps a few times and reminded them about our honeymoon so they could prepare something nice for us.
During our safari we not only saw The Big 5, but we saw lions hunt buffaloes and feeding their cubs, cheetahs hunt, we saw leopards not once but twice(!), the iconic view of elephants with Kilimanjaro on the background, black and white rhinos….it’s impossible to list all the wonderful things we saw.
Of course a lot depends on luck, but in our case 90% of what we saw was due to Antony‘s experience, professionalism and willing to give us the best memory of our lives. We always had the best spot to watch everything interesting and special, we’re arriving everywhere one of the first to take best photos.
We really hope to come back in a few years and have another memorable adventure with Tazama Africa Holidays!
