Excellent operators; would highly recommend
Claws of Africa provided a very smooth and professional service throughout our journey through Tanzania this month. Prior to the trip, the communication was clear and detailed for us to provide payment, our preferences and confirm the entire trip. I would highly recommend the team.

Great 4-day camping safari!
Claws of Africa had been recommended to me by another reputable safari company, so I could organise a 4-day camping safari to the Serengeti. They were $200 cheaper (per person) than other companies so we decided to go for it - and it did not disappoint! :)
Our driver/guide was great: my bf and him shared a passion for birds which meant we were constantly on the lookout! The food was good, and there was always more than we could eat. With unlimited water available, it meant we had no extra charge whatsoever during the trip. The campsites are basic but have the amenities needed, and those mattresses in the tent mean sleeping was really comfortable!
Overall a very positive experience, from the booking until our drop-off to the airport (exactly on time!). I highly recommend!

Rongai route trek and safari
My friend and I Planed the safari of our dream . Fatuma was absolutely amazing in helping us get the trip set up exactly how we wanted and it was a dream come true. Our trekking guides, Bernard and Said made the hike a ton of fun and were super motivating the entire time. Their whole crew was nothing short of perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better trekking crew to be on that journey with!
After the trek we went on a safari journey through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. The team are really took in to consideration what we wanted to see and what we liked to eat. Our guide Dickson made sure we saw as many of our favorite animals as possible and helped to find the animals that had babies with them because he knew we enjoyed seeing them. Our chief, Magoma’s cooking was among the best of the best. Everything was delicious and flavorful.
I can’t recommend this adventure enough and Claws of Africa made everything seamless for us.

Dream Trip
It all started when I decided to make my dream come true and thankfully I decided to do it with CLAWS OF AFRICA.
I did a 4 day and 3 night tent safari and it was wonderful.
Without our guide Emanuel nothing would be possible because besides having the same passion that we for the animals still had an enormous patience to stop whenever we asked to observe the animals.
The cook who was always with us never missed anything and Pasco's food is wonderful.
I am sorry I did not stay more days because I found everything wonderful but I hope one day come back.

4 Days safari
We were a group of 5 people and we did a 4 day and 3 night tent safari through Lake Manyara, Serengueti and Ngorongoro. We chose Claws of Africa after Fatuma was very friendly and kind. During safari everything went well. Our guide Dickson its was very friendly and did everything for us to see as many animals as possible. Also our cooker, Pascal, it was very nice and funny and did very delicious food.
I recommend "Claws of Africa" and also the camping experience for people that would like to have an experience closer to the wild life.

Honeymoon of a lifetime thanks to Claws!
My wife Ashley and I set off on the safari tour of a lifetime for our honeymoon. We were picked up at our first hotel in the morning and met our driver for the safari, James. He picked us up in a Toyota Land Cruiser, it was clean and he came packing a refrigerated cooler full of water for our use whenever we needed it. We set off for Lake Manyara and he stopped along the way to buy us some red bananas, out of his own money, for us to try. We got into the park pretty early and, just like a normal person would on day 1 of their first safari, we wanted to stop for every animal. Every animal we saw, James explained any information we had about it, we were amazed that he knew so much. He had a big packed lunch for us to eat at the special look off picnic area. We are not big bird people but he still had info about each as we sat and ate lunch. We set a goal at lunch to see some elephants, after lunch we drove to find them. He spotted tracks off the path and said “they are close”. He saw them through the bushes and we waited for a bit. They then started walking directly towards us and right beside the vehicle allowing for some amazing pictures and even better memories.
At Ngorongoro Crater, We left our lodge to see that the vehicle had been cleaned inside and out and fridge re-packed. On the way into the crater James explained about his life, family, education and his job. I honestly will remember this probably as much as I do the safari. We saw so many animals here and also saw one of our biggest highlights, a pride of lions taking turns feeding on a very recently killed buffalo. James explained how they would have taken it down and how they decide who eats first and when. We completed the big 5 in the Crater on this day to our delight.
We headed to the Serengeti for our first of 2 days. We wish we could have spent 2 weeks here but honestly, James showed us all we needed to see in 2 days. We had very good positioning for cheetahs, leopards, hippos, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, male and female lions. We also had many great views of the Great Migration. Many times James would suggest areas to visit but he kept saying “its your safari, we will stop whenever you want”. Each morning we had a clean vehicle to get into as it was very muddy and there was a lot of dust each day.
I highly recommend Claws of Africa and James for your trip in Tanzania ☺

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

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!

3 Days safari with Clows of Africa ( Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara Lake)
We had a three day Safari with Claws of Africa ( Tarangire, Manyara Lake, Ngorongoro )
Pros:
we saw the big five which was amazing considering the duration of our Safari and the fact that we didn’t reach Serengeti; the accommodations were great, especially Eileens tree in; our driver Dickson spoke English really well and was always ready to give us detailed information regarding the wild life ( he was also quite funny ); we had plenty of water and quite filling lunch boxes; communication with Fatuma was easy and promt
Cons:
The safari car needs more maintenance and cleaning on the inside; the company should provide Dickson with an uniform so he could look more professional when compared with all the other drivers we saw; the last day in lake Manyara was wasted due to flooded roads and we would’ve liked an alternative option for that day.
Overall, good value for the money spent.
