Truly impeccable service
Jane and her team are truly amazing and effortlessly go above and beyond without the hint of a fuss. That Jane provided us with fantastic advice and recommendations, as well as prompt and efficient email correspondence was great but also expected from a high end travel service. A small example from our trip of why Tanzania Exclusive Journeys stands apart from similar high end travels services occurred while we were on Kilimanjaro.
My Husband, a friend and I decided to accelerate our climb and finish a day early so we could try and arrange for our friend to join us for 2 days on Safari. Jane fielded numerous phone calls from us on the mountain on a Friday evening and within a couple hours had booked the perfect lodge and found a number of suitable flights from different remote airstrips.

Stunning and fantastic.. Simply Amazing!
The positive reviews played a big part in me booking our safari with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys and I hope our positive review can help encourage someone else to do the same. You won't regret it!
This safari was brilliant from start to finish. My correspondence with Jane was incredibly helpful and prompt and made the booking process simple, easy and worry free.
We were picked up from Nairobi Airport by our driver Samwel and we had the most amazing week with him. The hard work that he put in with long car journeys, early mornings and late nights were extremely appreciated. He went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our trip, saw everything we wanted to see and were happy throughout the entire time.
We went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masia Mara which was the perfect combination of parks as each one offered something unique that the others didn't. The travelling between parks was made seamless with the appropriate breaks and through talking with our driver we really felt like we learned a lot about Kenya and its history, we felt like Samwel was our friend as soon as the trip started and trusted him implicitly.
This truly was the trip of a lifetime, we paid for the luxury accommodation and a private 4x4 vehicle and everything lived up to what was sold. The car was comfortable and roomy and perfect for the long drives between parks and also the fast paced exciting drives in the parks. The accommodation was amazing, everything was such a beautiful standard, staff was friendly and helpful and we couldn't have asked for more.
We also added the hot air balloon ride onto our trip which was another incredible experience, the champagne breakfast was wonderful and the early rise was so worth the sun rise from the balloon - amazing! The boat ride at Lake Naivasha and walking safari at Crescent Island with Moi was outstanding and the Hells Gate Cycle and trek through the Joe with Martin was breathtaking. Everyone we encountered made sure we had the best time, saw what we wanted to and learned about the experience too.
The things we have seen, the memories we have made and the incredible artwork we brought home with us will last us for a lifetime. The Kenyan people we met were friendly and kind and always happy to share the knowledge of their beautiful country. We will always remember Samwel and wonder with fondness how he is doing and wish him all the best! This trip has encouraged us to travel and explore more of Africa and the beauty and wildlife that is there.
Thank you so much for everything, we will definitely return one day, and when we do we will be using Tanzania Exclusive Journeys and requesting Samwel for our trip!
Beyond expectations
We had a wonderful 8 day tour in Tanzania with Tanzania Exclusive Adventure, we were lucky to see the big 5 and our driver guide James was superb. We highly recommend!!

Another great safari with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys
During February, 2015, four of us (three friends, my wife and I) had a wonderful safari experience with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. From pick-up and return to the airport, we had eight days of travel through the parks seeing great multitudes of animals, stayed at clean tent hotels, enjoyed good food, and had a fantastic knowledgeable guide. My wife and I decided that when our grandchildren are old enough, we would go back and take them. And that is what we did during the last week of December, 2021, taking our thirteen and eleven year old grandchildren, with their parents, to experience the Tanzania safari. Again, clean tent hotels, good food, and the same (James) fantastic knowledgeable guide. The difference, if any, is that on this trip we saw more lions (my grandson counted 53 lions over the eight days), more giraffes (many more than one hundred), and more hippos (hundreds), and warthogs (hundreds). Too hard to count the thousands of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, impalas, flamingos, and multitudes of other birds and animals. We were six in a Toyota Land Cruiser, with a pop-up roof and each of us with a window seat. The hotel facilities were all conscious of Covid issues and alleviated our health concerns. It also helped that we were not in any crowded environments. We are now waiting for our third grandchild to be old enough for this once-in-a lifetime trip. And when she is, we will do it again!

Excellent Safari Company, A lifetime experience
Just letting you know that we had a great time, in fact all of our arrangements exceeded our expectations. All of the transfers proceeded faultlessly and the staff from the two local agents in Nairobi and Zanzibar were fantastic, please pass on our compliments, especially to Ali from Twiga in Nairobi, and Exhaud & Fish from Hakims in Zanzibar. We felt safe at the Stanley in Nairobi and the Serena in Stone Town is a charming hotel. Our safaris in Kenya at Elephant Bedroom camp and Mara Leisure camp were a great choice, we are raving to our friends about the accommodation, the locations, the food, the game drives, the guides, the vehicles and of course the animals. It was nice to finish at the 5 star Smile Beach Resort, we felt like movie-stars. Swimming with dolphins was a bonus. Thank you for organising a perfect holiday!

Absolutely Amazing
Not easy to prepare your safari in Tanzania and choose from the countless agencies that share the market ... We chose Tanzania Exclusive Journeys and from our first mail we were conquered! Quick answers, professional, contact with Jane who took care of us was perfect from the beginning. She has answered all our questions and adapted to all our wishes in order to organize the safari made for us. Our guide, Rashid, spoke excellent English, a + for our 5 year old chip, knowledge and sympathy, made this trip a unique experience. He was able to adapt to our needs and desires, sometimes modify the program if we were tired and made us discover ALL possible animals to observe: from the lioness who takes her lunch at the rhino du Ngoron through the Lycaons and Cheetahs of the Serengeti ... The lodges and tented camp reservations were perfect for our family and the balanced routes, we loved the night spent in the middle of the Serengeti at the Kati Kati camp, a little less than the Tarangire Safari Lodge ... Finally, the Director of the agency came to accompany us to the airport of Arusha before our departure for Zanzibar to take stock with us on the progress of our safari, a friendly attention which really shows that this agency is serious and attentive. Highly recommended Tanzania Exclusive Journeys.

Do not trust this company!
Do not trust this company with your money. I paid them my deposit in early March. A week later, their website and cell phone number were terminated due to lack of payment. When I finally
heard from them again, I asked that my deposit be refunded. At the end of March, they agreed and stated that a wire had been sent, but that never happened. There have been several emails sent to me with stories as to why I have not yet been refunded. To date, I have not received my money back.

Posted on Aug 7, 2020Thank you for your review, it is our constant at Tanzania Exclusive Journeys to provide an excellent experience and services to each and every one of our valued guests. Hence it deeply saddened us, when we read that from you that we have not achieved our goal. You had canceled the tour at the last minute and threaten us to post a negative review against us, we had sent you our cancellation policy before you booked the tour, but still you have been demanding a full refund and force us to refund you so you can pull out the negative review. While we realized we cannot undo your experience; I do hope that you will in due course provide us with another opportunity and restore your confidence in our continued quality of services to our esteemed guests!.

Best ever professional safari guides! An incredible Adventure!
We have just returned from one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. We could not recommend them more highly. The guides Ian and Elias were simply superb-well-trained, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating - great people who made the trip much better. They have an understanding and familiarity with the habits and habitat that gave them ability to anticipate and get us in perfect position for viewing/photographic events. Were absolutely marvelous and engaging in every way!

Our Expedition Leader was wonderful!
Everything was fabulous from start to finish. This was our first safari, but our group mates had all previously traveled in Africa with other companies. All reported that this trip was by far their best experience. I will not hesitate to book another Tanzania Exclusive Journeys trip, and I was recommending Tanzania Exclusive Journeys to friends even before we returned home. This was the most amazing, once-in-a-lifetime safari. Our guide's knowledge and ability to help us see and understand animal behavior was extraordinary.

Great time with great people
I absolutely loved working with Tony and Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. We had an amazing safari. Our driver Bernad, was awesome and treated us like his family. Everywhere we stayed was enjoyable with good food and fun! People from our lodge in the Serengeti were so much fun and made us feel at home. Our trip to zanzibar was a blast! We had a very nice driver who went out of his way to show us around. We highly recommend Tanzania Exclusive Journeys.
