PERFECT !
Flawless organization and support from our arrival on Tanzanian soil until departure at the airport, a tailor-made program that meets each of our expectations or requests.
The availability and responsiveness of all our Tanzania specialist contacts before and during the trip is permanent!
Dedication to Zoé always surprising of reactivity! and Emmanuel our driver Massai who knew how to face all situations during the safari and let us discover his culture!
We had made it clear to Emmanuel that we wanted to be able to offer gifts (pencils, pens, notebook, sweets, etc.) to children, he finally took us to visit an orphanage at the end of Tarangire park, it was for us for a moment full of exchanges, smiles and "emotions" ...!
All the accommodations were on top but a plus anyway for accommodation at the Tarangire tent camp, immersed in the savannah surrounded by animals (hyenas, giraffes, antelopes, etc.) but in complete safety with a surprising welcome and comfort. , a must !
It was an exceptional, magnificent and unforgettable stay, we will be back !!!
Thank you !

Individually planned Trip - perfect service
We were planning a Safari in Tanzania and wanted to visit friends in Dodoma and Daressalam and have some days on Zanzibar inbetween. Tanzania Specialist arranged an individual itinerary for us, allowing changes in details almost to the last minute. All bookings, transfers and tours were delivered to perfection, we were very satisfied with the choice of lodges and hotels and the recommendations on our trip. Through their network in Tanzania, they were also able to arrange a guided tour in Daressalam for us, making our stay there very interesting and comfortable. The German speaking guides were a nice treat, although we soon switched to English.

Fantastic tour in Tanzania
The Tanzania Specialist team was very reactive throughout the development of the tour (5 days safari + 2 days Zanibar).
The advices were judicious and confirmed during the trip on the spot.
The choice of hotel is particularly....
Attentive, considerate and flexible driver: no problem to stop for a stroll in a market, a village ...
We recommend this agency which knows how to listen to its customers, to advise them. I confess that I can be "demanding" in my requests and be fully satisfied with the result.
Generally speaking, Tanzania is a safe country, sanitary measures are zealously applied in all the hotels...this period where mass tourism has deserted allows to travel in excellent conditions and to support a local economy unjustly hit (as everywhere) by this pandemic...

ALL for amazing safari days
This trip booked in January 2020 (family of 10) took place during the upsurge of the 2nd wave of the Covid19 pandemic. Faced with the uncertainties about the possibility of traveling, Tanzania Specialists (Zoé) has always listened and reacted to possibly find solutions plan B, plan C ...
We traveled with Qatar Airways to Kilimanjaro Airport. No special formality was requested by the company, nor by the Tanzanian authorities. We had nevertheless taken a test 72 hours before departure to reassure us and assure our guides and hotel contacts of our good health.
Given the uncertainties, we had not requested the electronic visa and established it on our arrival (relatively quick 1 hour).
At the exit our guides were waiting for us with 2 4X4 (recall for 10 people). These are vehicles that can accommodate 7 people comfortably.
On arrival we went directly to Ngare sero lodge to rest from the trip. This hotel is an eco lodge with a lot of possible activities and an exceptional setting. The catering is of excellent quality with a lot of attention from everyone. We had brought in our luggage a lot of equipment for an orphanage in which the hotel is a partner. An employee of the hotel concocted a walk for us including a visit to the orphanage (a great instructive moment for all and in particular our grandchildren).
The next day visit Tarangire Park and Lake Manyara, this park allows a smooth entry into safaris (no wild animals) and was a very popular day. Evening at Kilimamoja Lodge near Lake Manyara is an upscale hotel with excellent hotel and restaurant services.
The 3rd day visit of the Ngorongoro crater, this safari is the best because of the number of animals encountered and the breathtaking landscapes.
The evening at the Oldeani Mountain Lodge is roughly equivalent to the hotel of the previous day (same owner): upscale. Before leaving for the airport for Zanzibar, the waiters had set up a table for lunch in the garden: exceptional.
In all hotels, health security is perfect.
Everywhere we were "pampered" because there were hardly any tourists.
On the service of Tanzania Specialist, the quality is top of the range.
Before sales, Zoé is available, responsive and provides good advice.
During the safari, our guides Ludovic and Juma speak perfect French, are helpful, emphatic, available, flexible and very knowledgeable.
In conclusion, I can only recommend Tanzania Specialists and have no hesitation in leaving for safety even in these difficult times of the pandemic.

Perfect Safari
Everything was just right (with very little restrictions):
- Good advice and organization before the trip.
- Very courteous guide and driver (thank you Baraka!)
- Diverse and beautiful places visited with lots of animals (Trangire / Ngorongoro crater)
- Very good accommodations, all with intact infrastructure (always warm water with enough pressure) and good food (well, the packed lunches should be a bit more varied).
We didn't like the additional bookable activities that much. For example the “banana tour”. The activities are overpriced and the aim is always to buy goods in the studios (i.e. shops) visited during the tour. The offer ranges from pictures and wood carvings to banana beer and coffee.
One more side note: After seeing so many wonderful animals, we were shocked by the fact that Tanzania Specialist apparently also offers guided shooting of the animals under the term Hunting Safari. We cannot understand that.
Despite these restrictions, we can absolutely recommend Tanzania Specialist.

Very good care before and during the trip
If it is the first time for someone to travel to Tanzania you do not know what to expect. Tanzania Specialist helps you fully on what you have to pay attention to before the trip. Once you have arrived in the country, a full service is organized as booked. You never have to worry about your own safety.
