serengeti, coffee farm and ngorogoro
Philemon, james, and bryson are amazing drivers and blaze was a great host! Never had a boring day with great hospitality...would definitely do again, since last time was with my class...ngorogoro was amazing and even the coffee farm was entertaining! By far 10 of 10 I'd give this trip. The drivers also knew the best places to go to see different animals

Absolutely amazing experience with people who were able to make our time there enjoyable!!!
Tanzania Serengeti Adventure was an amazing tour company to go with on a trip to Tanzania with Roosevelt University! Not only were all of our drivers very knowledgable about everything we drove past, including even when we were on the freeways and had questions, but they were also very kind people that wanted to make sure we were as safe as could be. I cannot say anything bad about Filimon, James, or Bryson because all three are great men that I was very blessed to get the pleasure of knowing on the trip! I highly recommend using this company and especially the driver James who I was with most of the trip because I know that he will make sure you are happy and he just enjoys making everyone's day brighter on top of being an amazing driver!!

Amazing time spent in Tanzania
My overall experience with the company were nothing short of amazing. The drivers were always aware of their surrounding, very tentative to our needs, and above all knowledge on the wildlife and geography. Our stays at the coffee farm, the Serengeti and visits to Ngorongoro and Manyara were all planned with us in mind and made for a very relaxing couple of days. I would recommend this company above many of the others I saw operating in Tanzania, especially my favorite driver Philemon.

The best experience I could have imagined using Tanzania Serengeti Adventure!!!
I have no complaints at all about this company. Not only were the drivers and hosts at the Coffee Farm personable, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying ourselves. I have never experienced hospitality as great as this company provided! I would recommend these services to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania.

One trip everyone should go on at least once in their lifetime!
When I first landed at the KJRO airport, it didn't quite seem like I was in Africa yet. Soon after, our drivers were explaining all the interesting and unique parts of Africa. Not only were our drivers informative about the land and animals of Africa, but they also shared the culture and part of the Swahili language. My favorite part about the trip was that our drivers were always on point with spotting things out. More than a few times were our drivers able to catch lions and cheetahs out of no where. Another great part about the trip was I felt that the drivers always had us in their best interest so I always felt safe. For most of my trip, I had Philemon as a driver and I really felt that he made the trip for us because there was never a dull moment with him. Overall, the trip exceeded my expectations which made it very tough to leave. When we left, we were not just saying goodbye to our drivers, but we were saying goodbye to our new friends.

Kilimanjaro Trek & Serengeti Adventure - once in a lifetime experience!!
From start to finish the customer service was excellent. Iris provided us with a very detailed itinerary of the services that Tanzania Serengeti Adventure offered and everything was explained up front, so there were no hidden surprises even down to our meals on the Kilimanjaro trek. She kept in regular contact in the months leading up to our holiday, including responding promptly to any questions I had. The week prior she arranged a Skype call so that she could make sure that we were full prepared and had all of the relevant equipment, especially for our trek.
We were met at the airport as arranged and greeted at the hotel by Blase the General Manager. Blase was extremely helpful and personable and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. We were briefed and our kit was checked over by the Head Guide ready for the Kilimanjaro trek the following morning. We left our safari gear with Blase. The experience was AMAZING and thanks to the great service from our guides we made it to the summit without too much difficulty.
Blase then met us again at the hotel for our Serengeti Safari briefing, we collected our safari clothing and left our trekking gear with him. James our safari guide was extremely knowledgeable, and even after over over 20 years service it is evident that he has so much passion for what he does. The accommodation, food and service in our lodge and tented camp was excellent and was saw all of the BIG 5!
After flying back to Arusha from the Serengeti to save valuable time, Blase met us at the airport and arranged for us all to have lunch together which was a lovely personal touch.
I would no hesitation in recommending Tanzania Serengeti Adventure for both a Kilimanjaro Trek and Safari. They provide an excellent personal service and plan everything down to the last details.
Thank you

Absolutely Wonderful!!
This was my first trip to Tanzania and definitely won't be my last. The experience was one in a lifetime and everyone I encountered made that experience more pleasurable. The drivers James, Philemon and Bryce were the best ever. It was never a dull moment with them and they made every experience more enjoyable. The stay at the coffee farm with Blaise De Souza was amazing. The staff made me feel just like I was at home. The views and tours were breathtaking and the food was delicious. Everyone should definitely make this apart of their experience when traveling to Tanzania!

My awesome time with Tanzania Serengeti Adventures.
Our trip was absolutely delightful. My daughter and I enjoyed the safari very much. We have traveled the world and this was one of the best vacations ever. We took the 5 day and 4 night adventure in Tanzania, the timing was perfect and fit well with our other travel plans. We saw the Big Five, met wonderful people along the way and always felt safe and secure with our guide. He was an expert at finding animals and very knowledgable about the land and it's people.

Trip of a Lifetime, a must!
The Tanzania Serengeti company was recommended to us from another couple that traveled with them a few years back. We are so glad we went with Iris and Jordan. First of all, they are extremely accommodating and are willing to make sure that you have the best trip possible. My Fiancé and I were briefed about our Safari after our first night in Arusha from "Blaze" our local correspondent while in Tanzania. He checked in with us throughout our trip. We were then off on Safari and visited 3 parks. Arusha, Tarangire, (my favorite), Ngorongoro Crater and the famous Serengeti. We did an 8 night safari with 2 nights in Arusha, 2 in Tarangire, and 4 in the Northern and Central Serengeti. Our safari guide Phileman was with us the entire time and he knew exactly when and where to stop so we could view the Big 5! Ask for Phileman!! The tent camps are very comfortable and the food was excellent. The country is extremely high spirited and we left feeling rather humbled being so fortunate to live in the states.
You must see Zanzibar and stay at the Matemwe Lodge for at least 3 nights following safari. This is truly a relaxing treat at the end of a dusty adventure. Do not be alarmed when your driving for hrs on a bumpy road that looks like its leading to nowhere; beyond every dusty road is something worth waiting to see. Most lodges do not pave their roads so don't judge a lodge by the road leading towards it. Also, go with any recommendations from Iris or Jordan, they have great ideas.
Have patience, be open minded, and you'll truly enjoy what Tanzania, Africa has to offer. This country will change your life.

Excellent experience
I had an amazing safari with my family. I am very happy about the arrangements and the gamedrives fulfilled more than my expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was more than willing to find the Big five for us.
We stayed at five different lodges, one of the best was at a coffe farm. It is absolutely worth a visit.
A big Thank you to Iris and Philamon för making our safari one of our best experiences.
