Quick and sure
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.
Big Five!

Magic moment, safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Our safari with Claws of Africa has been a magical moment. In four days, we have gone to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with Fadhili, guide and driver, and Magoma, the cook in an excellent Safari, very well organized. They lovingly and efficiently complied with everything offered in the contract: Transportation in a 4x4 in very good condition, comfortable and clean accommodation in the different camps. Tours every day, with expert and kind comments and explanations from our beloved guide. The attention for each meal was great, with good flavor and diversity of dishes, including vegetarian food. We are very happy, grateful and warmly recommend Claws of Africa agency.

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.

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.

A Reliable & Dedicated Safari Tour Operator
We booked the "6 Day Real Tanzania Experience" with Claws of Africa.
We wanted a private tour that would allow both of us to see all of the major Northern parks (Tarangiri, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro), at an affordable rate. Claws of Africa ticked all the boxes, and in the end, really surpassed our expectations.
Fatuma (who helped organise our tour) was professional, courtious, and answered all of our questions in detail - when some other providers we contacted were a bit pushy.
The tour itself was unforgetable. Meckey (our guide) was extremely knowledgable (not just about the animals, but also about when and where to find them). We saw absolutely everything we had hoped to - including the big five. There's a degree of luck involved in what you manage to see on Safari, but with Meckey on hand, we seemed to get pretty lucky.
Shoutout as well to Pasqual (our cook - or should I say chef), who provided fantastic meals throughout.
Both Meckey and Pasqual really went above and beyond.
Booking a Safari can be a bit tricky when you're comparing so many options, and have to take a bit of a leap of faith regarding who to go with. I hope that this review can help someone else to take a chance on Claws of Africa as the experience was everything we wanted in a Safari.

Very reliable and very satisfactory trip with Claws of Africa.
Very well organised tour, utmost clarity in communication right from our first contact. In fact we had first booked in 2020 before covid and then covid struck. They promised to do the trip at the same rates whenever we came and we did it on the same days 3 years later and they stayed true to their commitment.
The guide they provided Mecky was a very jovial person and informed as well. Whilst I am a keen birder, he did bring a bird guide for birds there and we managed to identy 152 species. Mecky wasnt just good animals but also had tons of patience. One day on a full game drive day in Serengeti he was a bit under the weather but he braved up and ensured we had a full day drive!
Magoma the cook they provided was also very receptive of all our requests and was providing us great meals.
We did a camping trip and the tents were quite comfortable, secure and apt. The sleeping bags they provided were also very nice. The only thing we would like to suggest is to improve the quality of dining chairs they had and the table for dining.
The vehicle they provided was also good, though the windows of the jeep were a little hard.
All in all apart from a couple of very small things, their services were absolutely wonderful. Very reliable company. The owner Fatuma accomodated all our requests very well!
Do not think twice before booking with them.

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
