Proffesionals, friendly,fulfilled even more than promised,great vallue for money
Hello everyone, we stayed in Tanzania for two weeks in February with the "Tanzania Specialist" agency and I can say that they are really specialists and professionals.
They told us on the first day "you just have to enjoy yourself and the rest is our concern" and it was like that until the end of the trip on Zanzibar. Our guide Leonard Paul was highly professional and in the end he became our rafiki, if I can ever repeat the tour in Tanzania I will do it with him and "Tanzania Specialist"
I have only words of praise for all the lodges, camps, resorts where we stayed, friendly hosts, accessible, at our service 24 hours a day.On the first day, I told Leonardo what we wanted to see and hear (the roar of a lion on the wish list) and he fulfilled everything.
For fun, we started counting lions, leopards and cheetahs and counted 97 lions, 5 leopards, 8 cheetahs and 2 black rhinos, and we heard the roar of a lion 2-3 times every night,Zanzibar was intended for relaxation and rest and that's how it was (hakuna matata)

Perfectly organized with good proposals and good respond to our wishes.
In the planning phase we had a good and very responsive communication with Benson. Booking was easy and transparent. Marvellous Lodges/ Hotels, the final highlight was the Manyara Best View Lodge, an extraordinary location, spectacular view and very kind staff. Our Safari guide Ruambisa (?) Paulo was a very good driver, good animal finder, had a lot of knowledge about the regions, culture and animals. He made our trip a great and wonderful experience. Communication was easy in our mother tongue German. Thanks again!

Unbelievable Experience with our amazing guide Ally.
I recommend Tanzania Specialist 100%. We were very satisfied, with the tour, our guide and the selected lodges. Everything was discussed in great detail before the trip. In case of problems or questions, a staff member was always available. We also liked the fast communication via Whatsapp very much.

Unforgettable journey
We were in February for eight days on safari. Four months earlier we had contacted us by e-mail and communicated all our wishes/conceptions. A week later, the exact itinerary was already determined. All our questions were answered and our (German speaking) contact person was always very easy to reach.
In Tanzania, everything worked out perfectly. On the first evening we were picked up from the airport and the next morning we were allowed to meet our guide Mashaka. He speaks very good German and has an extensive knowledge of animals, people and the country; all this exceeded our expectations. We had a great time together and laughed a lot.
The accommodations were all as described and clean (lodges, camps and a night at a public campsite) and the staff was very friendly and accommodating throughout.
Also the food was delicious and the offer for us always adequate.
On the last day we flew back to Kilimanjaro from the Serengeti. This flight was organized by Tanzania Specialist and also here everything went smoothly.
Thank you very much for the great organization and this unforgettable trip!
We will definitely come back!

Good organization with clear and expert information and good communication
A beautiful 11-day trip was organized by a Tanzania specialist with beautiful accommodations (lodges). The trip more than fully met our expectations, partly due to the very knowledgeable and nice guide Hoesein who accompanied us every day. Also more than praise for the people in the camps and lodges, as they try to make the guests feel comfortable.

Easy and informative before the journey - exciting and just breathtaking
we went on a 5 day safari with Thimo, coming from Arusha to Tarangire NP, Ndutu conservation area, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. From the first day on, we were overwhelmed by the friendliness of the staff in the lodges and camps. We felt very welcome everywhere and where treated like friends, you havent seen for some time. Thimo is a wonderful person, smart and funny, knowing every bush and lake and "feeling" the presence of wild animals. He managed to get us to places, where we would not see anything, but under his guidance learned to pay attention, to actually SEE. We got to see all of the big carnivors , including the so called BIG 5. Thimo has impressing knowledge about the wildlife, but also was sharing stories about the climate, the people and tribes in Tanzania, about the problems the people face by having to deal with climate change and droughts. We had just a great time, he never seemed to become tired from our non stopping questions.
Tanzania is wonderful, our tour was just like Tanzania Specialist described it beforehand, the lodges and camps were even more comfortable, than we had expected. We are very thankful for the professional support before the journey and the actual journey was just like we had wished, no it was even better. Thanks to Julia Lantschner and to Thimo. WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL DAYS!!!!!

excellent partner
The three of us did a short safari, 3 different national parks in 5 days. Everything was very well prepared by the organizer Tanzania Specialist. The choice of lodges was very good. In the run-up to the event, our boundary conditions had changed several times in terms of the number of participants and the date. The route was also adapted to our needs. Even a short-term change (another participant) was made possible without any problems. The information on entry and health tips were also good, the organizer concentrated on the most important things. Communication was in German the whole time. Really recommendable.

perfect arranement of our safari
perfect service from the beginning till to the end / fantastic choice of all lodges / well-educated guide during the safari: excellent knowledge, good communication, safe driver / ballooning was interesting, but the location was not choosen so well: the big beast migration took place in another national park
jopurney to sansibar:
Proposed hotel was optimal, fantastic atmosphere
The 2 tours offered on the island were not so well organized. But I am sure: this was an exception - sheet happens some time.
