Unbelieveable Experience.
Just back from the trip of "Claws of Africa" in Tanzania and want to thank Good Earth for making the adventure so wonderful. Coordinated the itinerary with the kind and very gracious assistance by the people of "Claws of Africa" who helped ensure that everything went smoothly, that the lodgings were comfortable, that the food would meet the needs of the vegetarians in our small group, and that we had the services of the very best guide in Tanzania, We saw so many animals in the four national parks we visited, including 19 lions in one day (not that we were counting); beyond our dreams!

Honeymoon in Tanzania
My husband Jonson and me spent 6 days Claws of Africa in Tanzania and it was beyond our expectation. Our guide showed us everything in the Parks Claws of Africa. His experience made our trip unforgettable. We saw every animals what we wanted and even the wildebeests river crossing. I can only recommend this trip.

Best experience impossible!
We went a group of 6 adults and our experience with “Claws of Africa” was perfect from the first contact by mail or Skype meeting until last day with the transfer to our airport. We booked the safari with a Spanish speaker guide and Fredy made our trip spectacular and we enjoyed every moment. Magoma, our cooker, was fantastic with his dishes both great lunch, dinner or breakfast. they made the holidays unbeatable, and all this at a great price! Highly recommended!!

Lifetime Amazing Safari Experience!!!
My husband and I were considering on going to either Kenya or South Africa to celebrate our special occasion in Safari style until we've spoken to some people who recently went to Tanzania (Claws of Africa) highly recommended this country in East Africa to us for its friendliness, safety and wonderful wildlife. Now we have done it too with Easy Travel Tanzania, I can honestly say it has been a treat, a delight, a wonderful holiday I wish that I have done it earlier and certainly we would like to do it again in the future.

A dream came true
I did the trip in March 2020 together with my son and a friend and her son. There were no other people on the group. Fatuma was excellent organizing everything in advance. All emails were answered within 24 hours and everything was organized very well. One day before we started they came to the hotel to talk about the tour and the plans in detail. Our driver Emanuelle was always in a good mood, always in touch with other drivers so we did not miss one lion and an excellent driver. He speaks very well English, so communication was very easy. I think we were also lucky with our cook Pasco. We were always served a three course dinner and a delicious breakfast with fresh fruit, pancake and drinks. Lunch was sometimes a pick nick and sometimes served in the camp. His fried bananas are the best I have ever tried!!!!
We slept in tents with camp beds which are more comfortable then I expected :-)
After all we had a five days safari me and my son will never forget. Thanks to Claws of Africa!

life time expierience, I will never forget
In March 2020 we drove with Claws of Africa for 5 days with the guide Emanuel to Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. It was fantastic. Everything was just wonderful. We had really impressive days. Emanuel is a very good and experienced guide. He showed us all the animals, he always had a good nose where the animals sit. The rainy season started and sometimes it was really not easy to drive through the muddy paths, but Emanuel did everything with patience and safety. At breakfast, lunchtime and in the evening we were always cooked by Tespo with a three-course menu. It was a mystery to me where he always took food from, after all, we always had it with us in the car, but he cooked it delicious in no time and we were served like royalty. We decided on a cheap tour with simple accommodation and mostly in a self-made tent. But that was also very comfortable, soft mattresses on camp beds and at night we heard the lions or the buffalos smacking grass next to us. I wasn't aware of how beautiful the landscape with the thousands of animals is, sometimes I had to pinch myself to realize that everything I saw with my eyes was really true. Everyone should go on a trip like this once in a lifetime. You will never forget it. A thousand thanks to Claws of Africa

Great Customer Service
From the moment we met Frank at the start of our safari he made a genuine effort to make our time in Serengeti & Tarangire the best they could be. Our guide Frank was very knowledgeable and great fun to spend long safari days with.
Our cook, Pascoe, was also great, and we ate like kings. Organising our safari with Fatuma was easy. We couldn’t recommend this small safari company with a huge customer service focus.

Great Value Northern Tanzania Safari (June Visit)
Our June budget safari through Tanzania's northern circuit (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro) with Claws of Africa was quite an adventure that exceeded expectations, despite some challenges.
The Good:
- Fatuma's booking process was exceptional - professional, transparent, and refreshingly non-pushy
- Excellent Spanish translator (Vincent) and a skilled cook who made delicious meals
- Wildlife viewing was fantastic across all parks
- Great value for money considering the comprehensive itinerary
- June timing was perfect - comfortable weather and good visibility
The Less Good:
- Several vehicle breakdowns (though company handled them well)
- Very basic accommodation (as advertised)
- Some adventurous driving moments
Worth Noting:
This was a budget safari, so expect basic camping facilities. However, the wildlife experience matches any luxury tour, and the food was surprisingly good. The company managed all challenges professionally, ensuring we didn't miss key experiences.
Tips:
- Consider accommodation upgrades if basic camping isn't your style
- Pack warm clothes for June mornings
- Bring a flexible, adventure-ready attitude
Overall:
Despite vehicle issues and basic accommodation, Claws of Africa delivered excellent value. Recommended for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize experience over comfort. The June timing offered ideal safari conditions with mild temperatures and good wildlife viewing.

100% recommendation for Zaire, Magoma and Fatuma
We had a really great, unforgettable time with Magoma and Zaire.
We did a 7 day safari, of which we slept in a tent for 3 nights.
Zaire was the best driver you could imagine because he drove carefully and had incredibly good eyesight. We were often the first car at Löwen, Gepart and Leopard.
Magoma cooked a lot of delicious food every day. He was also able to explain a lot to us about the animals and Tanzania.
The arrangements in advance with Fatuma were problem-free and we were even recognized for the deposit we had made 3 years earlier (we were unable to enter Tanzania in 2020 due to Corona).
We hope that we can come to Tanzania again in a few years and would book a safari with the two of them again.
100% recommendationü! :-)
Thank you for your patience and your kindness!
Best regards
Marlene, Theresa, Simone
