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 ☺

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.

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.

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.

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!

"Trip of a lifetime."
Claws of Africa and our guide Magoma, have left us with a life changing experience, from the time we booked until we had to say our goodbyes. From the first moment we met, it was obvious Magoma’s goal was to exceed expectations in everything we did and saw. So experienced, so much fun. We saw the Big 5 animals, the Great Migration on our “Just Married” trip and so much more. We could not have asked for a better trip, booking company and guide.

Greatest safari experience
Thanks to Claws of Africa we had the best safari-experience we could imagine!
On our 4-day “The Endless plains” we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, we saw the big five and everything was best organized.
In the planning phase we had very good contact with Fatuma by email, he provided correct info about price, quality and possibilities for the accomodations and together we designed our perfect private safari.
Special thanks also to our driver/guide Magoma, his very good driving and excellent knowledge of the wildlife made our stay and tour more than memorable!!!
Thank you so much for everything!!!

Amazing 6-day experience with 2 great guides
Communication was good. Fatuma was our main contact via email and she normally responded to all my questions within 24 hours. Sadly, right after we paid the safari fee it felt as if we were downed to second priority customers and often had to chase her up in order to get the answer to our questions.
Dixon was our dedicated driver and he really knew his stuff. Always trying to give us the best experience possible he managed to drive us to all the great locations where we could spot animals. I don't think I have to mention how mesmerising some of the sights have been for us. Can't emphasise how happy we were with our choice to do a private safari for just the two of us and for 5 full days long. Our itinerary was
1. day: Lake Manyara
2., 3. & 4. day: Serengeti NP for 48 hours
55. Ngoro Ngoro Crater
The sixth day we were driven to a Maasai Mara village where we could also learn more about their life style.
Pasco was the chef who often stayed behind during the game drives to prepare not only our tents but also the food. It all tasted delicious and we really did feel spoiled.

Honeymoon Safarari with Claws of Africa
My wife and I travelled on our honeymoon throughout the Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Tangire National Park. Our tour guide was Emmanuel who was absolutely incredible over our five day adventure. From the start, we knew that we were in good hands. Our guide drove for hours and hours, answered any questions we had with pleasure and an upbeat attitude. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together and can say that we made a friend by the end of our vacation. For anyone considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend "Claws of Africa".
Travelling in June was great because it was dry season. The weather in the day-time was hot to say the least; but overnight temperatures dipped and bringing proper clothing is important. The guide will look after the rest and ensure you have a great time. We said from day number one, as long as we see a cheetah, we will leave Africa happy. Emmanuel patiently watched for hours and hours until we found the rare cheetah. You could truly tell he loved his job! Would definitely go back, incredible experience!
