Great experiance in gamedrive
We started in Arusha in Tansania and booked the 5 day Safari view mounth earlier from germany.
The communication was very good. All questions were answered.
Our ranger Izag and our cook Cherlas meets us in the hotel. Althought the manager named Amos. He explained us whats going on the next days.
We have different game drives and we could decide sometimes what we want to do. The food was allways very delicious. Our first day was at Manyara Lake in a Lodge.
Than we were camping 2 nights in Serengeti Nationalpark in the Pimbi campside. It was realy exiting and organisation was good.
Our tent was good for the windy weather in Ngorongoro Krater were we slept the last night.
Our ranger explained all animals and all about the country and the nature. It was realy interessting and a big adventur for us.

Professional, very nice.
It was a pretty involved tour. Was amazing to see all the animals (Big 5).
The driver Zayree and the guide and cook Magoma were very nice.
Just a few issues with this tour. Accommodations were very or “below” average. Especially since I booked for a totally PRIVATE Safari for only TWO people. I’m sure they could’ve given Better Accommodations.
Also in the Serengeti we were in a lodge that seemed like the”Boonies”. So that one day all we saw was just prey animals. Nothing else. I repeatedly asked the driver to go to Central Serengeti, but he refused, saying it was 2 hours away. But we were just driving around in ONE Boring Area for around 8 hours. Could have easily taken the trip to Central Serengeti, I felt. To me that was a TOTAL Waste of our Precious time, since we were on a ONE week tour for Tanzania.
I even offered to pay extra for a Nicer Room in Arusha, but I was refused. Don’t Understand WHY??
Hopefully in future the company realizes these issues travelers may have and provide somewhat Better Service? Cause people travel from very Far distances and would like to make the Best of the time and days on hand.

Claws of Africa's expertise to make my Tanzania adventure memorable was very much appreciated!
Originally, I was supposed to travel to Tanzania in July 2020, but because of it being postponed due to Covid (it was postponed again in 2021), it finally took place in July 2022. I booked as a solo traveler going to Tarangire and the Serengeti on a budget. Right from the inception, Claws of Africa was receptive in honoring my budgetary needs and fully answered each question I asked. My safari guide Emmanuel was terrific and his invaluable knowledge and insight was truly appreciated. The wildlife sightings were amazing and never disappointed. For example, on an early morning drive we witnessed a male lion "kicking" his son out of the pride. The behavior was absolutely full of wonder. I truly thank Claws of Africa in making my Tanzania safari truly magical.

Wonderful safari
We are a family with a 7-year-old boy and we have done a 7-day private safari, passing through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi, where we went to meet the Hadzabe tribe for a few hours. The whole trip, from the pick up at the airport to the return to it, has been spectacular. Our guide Fahdili and the cook Pasco have made this trip an unforgettable experience.
We have seen many animals of all kinds, such as lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, crocodiles, servals, leopards, hyenas, vultures, ...
We totally recommend hiring Claws of Africa, since both the organization of the trip and the human treatment have enchanted us. We hope to be able to repeat the experience in the not too distant future.

Unforgettable experience thanks to Claws of Africa. "Speedy Fatuma" has always been very flexible and responsive, especially when changing dates and the number of participants.
The driver-guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The lodges were simply sublime.

Great!
I did two tours, the northern portion (follow the migration) and the southern portion (marvels of the south). Both tours went perfectly and I have zero complaints about either. The accommodations were good as were the daily game drives and the food. Both of my guides were absolutely amazing (Fadhili in the north and Emmanuel in the south (I know I butchered the spelling of the second)). They were both extremely easy to get along with, and also extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all the questions I had. The only recommendation I would make would be including driving times in the itinerary, particularly for the south portion. When booking, I wasn’t aware the drive from Dar es Salaam to Ruaha would be 12 hours. If I knew that, I probably would’ve chose to fly there instead of driving.
