From expert, knowledgeable, and down right fun safari guides!
My husband and I had a trip of a lifetime with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. We went on a safari to East Africa in December 2021. We were the only 2 people signed up, but the full safari went on as planned. Needless to say, with Jane our safari director who was with us the entire time, to the various local driver/guides, and all the Tanzania Exclusive Journeys staff we were totally taken care of from start to finish. It was great not to have to worry about the details of getting from place to place. The camps and hotels we stayed in were great and the food was delicious. At 2 of the camps, we were the only guests. The best part was travelling through the beautiful countries (Kenya&Tanzania) and seeing the animals in their natural habit. It was amazing how close we got to them and how many different animals we saw. Needless to say I would highly recommend a safari with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys and we can't wait to explore more of East Africa with them.

Thank you Tanzania Exclusive Journeys for showing us the real Tanzania!!
We did the 3 day kruger park tour and it was surreal to say the least. The attention to every aspect commendable and the accommodation was too notch too. Planning a trip already for next year, this time for the 7 day tour. Start preparing my next years itinerary.

Intrigued by the Hadzabe tribe
Wanted to do something that’s been on my bucket list ever since I saw The God’s must be crazy.. interact and spend time with the Hadzabe tribesmen. Got to know of a tour that was been organised by Tanzania Exclusive Journeys and signed up for it. The experience was surreal and took me back in time to an age where there was no influx of technology and no trace of modernisation. To see the smile on their faces as they go through the daily grind makes you feel charged and up for anything that comes your way. The way they make their weapons, hunt for the food and survive in extreme conditions makes me respect them even more. The language they interact in is absolutely unique and has no words in it. Was out of time else would have extended it by another couple of days, but already looking to get there as soon as I can already.
A must must do !!
Thanks to the entire team at Tanzania Exclusive Journeys, this was an exclusive and life changing tour for sure

Far Beyond Expectations
I feel like words can not express how impressed I was with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. From the moment Ian picked us up from the airport I was immediately impressed and knew we were going to have an awesome time. While still at the airport Tony called our driver guide to be sure we arrived safely. I loved that Tony and our driver guide Ian sat us down and reviewed the entire Safari details and itinerary with us and made sure we were comfortable with the plans. Ian quickly became our best friend and we were so sad to leave him at the airport our last day. We felt like he really cared about our safety and making sure we also had a great time. My only regret is that we didn’t have them plan our first week in Zanzibar. We did the comfort Safari and could not have been more impressed with the accommodations each night! Again I can not say enough about this tour group. Thank you so much and we miss you guys!

Excellent from start to finish
We had a great safari experience with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys during our 10 days in Tanzania. Our guide, Ian was super patient with us answering all our questions and made sure we felt safe. He knew his way around perfectly well and was able to find us all animals and many species of birds that we asked for and cater to all our requests. The places we stayed and meals they offer were all great.
I would highly recommend Tanzania exclusive Journeys to anyone visiting Tanzania.

Excellent staff, unbelievable porters and help all the way!
I had no idea what to expect when I signed up for this adventure. I have no hesitation in stating that my experience was extremely positive. I always felt like I was in good hands. The guides were highly motivational. On summit day, there were times when I thought I couldn't carry on - I know that the guides' positive attitude and encouraging words kept me going. I couldn't believe the level of orchestration that goes into getting a group to successfully summit. The porters are simply extraordinary. To be able to wake up in the morning, pack up my things and know that I can roll into camp that evening and have everything ready and waiting for me made the whole experience so comfortable. I was elated to be met by my tent person every afternoon. The lead guide, Mrope, was highly skilled at managing our group and he did so with a perfect balance of discipline and humor.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. The attention to detail was impressive and I felt fully informed from start to finish.

Superb Guides and Porters!!
Wow! I can't say enough about the professional, friendly, and helpful guides and porters at Tanzania Exclusive Journeys! Our private group of 9 climbers took the Rongai route with 4 guides and 35 porters. We trekked 5 days up and 2 down. The whole experience with them gave us confidence and so much joy! 6 of the group made it to Uhuru Peak and the other 3 came down after Gilman's Peak due to altitude sickness. But the guides were amazing at keeping everyone healthy and pumped up to succeed! The chef-prepared meals on the mountain were plentiful and delicious! And they easily accommodated one climber's gluten-free, vegan diet. They even baked a birthday cake and all sang happy birthday to one of the climbers. The porters were fantastic quickly getting camp set up everyday with our gear. I am so thankful for their knowledge, professionalism, and kindness, and I will never forget the week we shared together!

SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY!
We had a terrific guide named Ian for a five day safari of Taragire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. We became close friends and he knew where all the game was. We spotted elephants and male lions every day, along with the all the big game including a rhino charging a water buffalo, a cheetah with her cub, hippos, and 25 hyenas, some with blood on their necks from a fresh kill. Every day was a new adventure including hanging out with all of the guides, once everyone else was asleep in their tents, drinking with them and telling stories. It was a trip full of memories.
In Zanzibar, we stayed at Sea Cliff Resort on the northwest side of the island. Again, all the transfers went smooth and everything was taken care of. This resort was a slice of heaven for sure. The bars/restaurants were great, the two infinity pools, the pier to watch sunsets, the spa, the food, the service. We also booked a few excursions with the hotel - to Prison Island and a tour of Stone Town. Also on the actual evening of my birthday we paid the guy who originally picked us up at the airport about $80 to take me all the way out to the northeast side of the island so that we could have dinner at the Rock Restaurant (if you've never heard of it, Google it, trust me). The drive is about 90 minutes and he sat there for 2 hours and waited in the van while we enjoyed the scenery and dinner. That was $80 well spent.
In conclusion, I can honestly say that this was probably my favorite trip yet. That is saying a lot because I've taken amazing trips to Cambodia, Iceland, Brazil, Peru, French Polynesia, New Zealand, etc. etc. I've been all over...and this was one of a kind.

It was a great trip, we visited Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Eyasi area. Our guide Ian was very helpful and professional. We wanted to try all type of accommodation during our stay: lodges, tented camps and camping tent and every place was good, and worth to recommend. At the camping we had also a chef - John, who prepared us very tasty meals (big portions!).
In Ngorongoro and Serengeti we saw a lot of animals (especially lions) but the most impressive was visiting 2 tribes at lake Eyasi - Hadzabes and Datoga. Our local Eyasi guide, Musa, gave us a lot of information about these tribes, their culture, way of life, etc.
Just before the fly home, we try a small climbing to Kilimanjaro.
What was also very nice - the care of from Tony who was our contact during the preparations to safari. He greeted us at the Arusha airport, then called few times during safari to be sure if everything is ok.
So I can strongly recommend to you services of Tony and Tanzania Exclusive Journeys, and worth to recommend. At the camping we had also a chef - John, who prepared us very tasty meals (big portions!).

Exceed my expectations
My husband and I did a 8 day Private Safari in Serengeti and Nogorogoro with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. The company is owned by a local Masai who has excellent connections with the areas we wanted to visit. Jane, the tour director, listened to what we hoped to experience and then designed a wonderful package for us. Our guide, Peter, made our 8 days very enjoyable. He worked hard to make sure we saw the wildlife we hoped to see. He is very knowledgeable about the area and has incredible skill at spotting animals we never would have even noticed. We had many questions about the areas we travelled through and the things we saw. Peter answered all of them and we learned so much. We spent 3 nights at the Osupuko Tented Camp in the Serengeti which was fantastic. The camp has minimal impact on the environment while still being very comfortable. The last 4 nights we stayed at Nogorogoro Farm House and the comforts were much appreciated after the long dusty drive from the Serengeti. One more thing about Peter. He is an avid birder so if your passion is birdwatching then ask for Peter.
