Tanzania Specialist has a fantastic safari package that worked well for us.
We had a fantastic safari with Tanzania Specialist. Our driver/guide Tino was a great driver and always punctual. He made sure we could see as many animals as possible on our drives. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, the parks, the plants and the topography. He was very patient when we wanted to move ahead a little for a better photo or stop to take more photos of flowers. He knew the trails in the parks like the back of his hand and how to get to the best viewing locations. He communicated with other guides to find out where the animals were so we could go there right away and see them ourselves. I appreciated that Tino took care of jeep mechanical problems when they happened as best as he could considering we were in the middle of the Serengeti National Park.
The office staff were not as attentive to some details as they could have been and that is why I gave a 4 star rating.
All in all a great safari!

Magical Tanzania Holiday
Travelling in Tanzania with Tanzania Specialist (TS) was fabulous!
Our party of four adults had an amazing 14 night trip made so by the excellent organisation of the trip and our fabulous guide, Jakob.
We started off flying into Mt Kilimanjaro Airport and were collected by TS. We participated in the Materuni Village Waterfall Walk (not for the feint of heart in the heat)! Two of our party climbed Mt Kilimanjaro to the Mandara Huts (full day exercise) and we all visited the Rundugai Springs and loved the activity floating about in the crystal clear waters.
We then moved on to Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara and were blown away by the wildlife we saw. We had rangers take us on a walking safaris which were really enjoyable. Next we moved on to the Serengeti for three nights in a comfortable tented camp and visited the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We were very lucky to fulfil the sighting of the "Big 5".
After our time on safari with TS we flew to Zanzibar (on Airlink) for four nights on the Island which was very relaxing.
All our accommodation was great, meals provided were good (including the daily packed lunches for safari days) and the vehicle we travelled in was comfortable enough and equipped with a fridge which was most welcome.
The activities undertaken and the vast array of animal sightings up close were amazing, we never felt rushed and were lucky to have such a wonderful guide and driver in Jakob. Jakob was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and made sure each guest was catered for. He also has a great sense of humour and listened to all our requests. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he was happy to facilitate any of our needs.
I would highly recommend TS for a safari in Tanzania, from the booking process, communication, service and the tour itself (especially because of our guide) it was a really fantastic experience.

Professionalism all the way!
Wow, what an incredible experience. From the minute we booked our safari with Tanzania Specialist, after many questions and much advice and guidance from our wonderful booking agent Salma, we were elevated into a world of excitement, anticipation and expectation. And we weren’t disappointed! From the moment we landed into Kilimanjaro until we were dropped off at Zanzibar airport for the flight home, we were very well looked after and we lived the dream. The safari days far exceeded our expectations and our guide, Frankie knew exactly where to position us for what we were hoping to see; we even managed to see all of the Big 5 - yes even a black Rhino in the Ngorongoro crater! All of the accommodation was exceptional and the meals delicious. Just what’s needed after a long day driving. Everything seemed to work so well, the timing, the planning and every day, Frankie made sure our vehicle was clean and stocked with fresh water. It truly was the trip of a lifetime never to be forgotten. We encountered many safari companies along the way but we honestly feel that Tanzania Specialist was by far the more organised and professional of all. We feel we had incredible value for money given that all the accommodation, meals, drives, guide, entrance fees and our flight to Zanzibar, (where we spent 4 nights in a wonderful all-inclusive resort) was included. If you’re thinking of travelling with TS, don’t hesitate, they really are exceptional!

Awesome!
We have climbed Kilimanjaro with Salumu and Aminiele and their team. What a great team! Salumu and Aminiele kept us motivated en safe. What an awesome experience, without them we would not have made it to the summit. We even got a cake to celebrate! Everyday we got fresh water en delicious food. On tough moments they helped us carry our backpack to make it easier. One team, one dream, all the way to the top, non stop!
With guide George Marley we did a 4 day safari. Great guy! He gave us tips to start early in the morning to see the animals more active. He had great knowledge about the animals and always treated them with respect. He could aswer our questions about the animals and the surroundings. We felt safe with him driving while we stood up in the car.

Majestic coordinator an a bucket list must do in our lifetime
It may be trite, but the Serengeti experience is once in a lifetime. Our Tanzania Specialist, Rama was amazing and facilitated our dream vacation and we are so thankful for his guidance and experience. We saw all 5 of the big 5 and all the other must sees while on Safari. So glad for the experience and we are heading home super happy!
Rama, thank you and your family for letting us experience your wisdom for a week out of your lives.

Everybody very friendly and professional.
We traveled as a group of five the first week in June, all accommodation chosen for us was very good, and our safari experience was above and beyond expectations the amount of animals we saw, the wilderbeest migration, and herds of elephants, giraffes and monkeys all crossing directly in front of our Jeep, driven by our extremely competent and professional driver whose name was Titus, he was so nice and thanks to his ability to spot animals we got to see a number of lions up close including a large pride of cubs. We saw lots of other wildlife , buffalo, eagles, vultures, hippos, crocodiles and other native birds.
Thanks again to our wonderful driver Titus who made the holiday for us.
It was a holiday to remember and I would have no hesitation in recommending Tanzania Specialist.
Very professionel Team, communication via WhatsApp worked really well, quick response
Almost everything worked really well. The lodges were fantastic so was the staff. Service and food delicious, the guides are great , most bilingual, so language never an issue. Cars are huge and in good condition. The safari itself was beyond our expectations. Beautiful scenery, nature spots and we saw all kind of animals incl big five.
