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.

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

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.
