Superb
Amazing five day safari with my two teenage kids in Tanzania followed by a beach break in Zanzibar.
Everything organised by Longway Expeditions who went the extra mile to make it the most amazing adventure.
Ann and Abu were both brilliant and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thoughtful, knowledgeable and bespoke tour at great value!
Thank you to Ann and Abu!
We had the most incredible safari, from the moment we arrived we felt so well taken cared of and comfortable. Ann and Abu planned an amazing experience, from a perfectly crafted and personalised itinerary, to homemade lunches, local coffee, breathtaking accommodation and of course an unforgettable safari.
If you are considering going to this part of the world, we highly recommend Long Way Expeditions, going with a local company means a different level of understanding, care and consideration for the region as well as money going back into the Tanzanian economy.
Thank you again, we'll be back!

Trip of a lifetime!
This was absolutely a trip of a lifetime. We found Long Way Expeditions through Responsible Travel. We did look at other companies but landed on this one because the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for. When planning this trip, Ann was able to accommodate us and make a few changes and help us fine tune our experience. From the moment Abu warmly greeted us at the airport with a broad smile and Ann greeted us at the hotel with an equally warm smile to discuss our time with them, we relaxed from the day’s travels and knew we were in good hands. Everyday was an adventure. Abu was the best guide. Whenever possible, he gave us an experience away from all the other tourists yet enabled us to see all the wonders of Tanzania up close. It was wonderful to deal with a locally owned company, a husband and wife team and an expedition company committed to supporting their community and making it a better place. Just the kind of company we wanted to support vs a company putting profit ahead of people. I truly can’t say enough about this tour company. Ann and Abu care about their clients and their community. And it shows.

Awesome Safari Company!
I recently went on a 6-day safari with Long Way Expeditions. We visited 3 different National Parks and I’m happy to say that I did get awesome pictures of “The Big Five” animals during my safari. I can’t say enough good things about Ann and Abu, the owners of Long Way. I received excellent, personalized service while booking the trip as well as upon my arrival to Africa and throughout the safari itself. Abu is very knowledgeable about the animals, the parks we visited, and he has an eagle eye for spotting wildlife that I could hardly believe. On a few occasions, it took some effort for me to find an animal through my zoom lens that Abu spotted with the naked eye as we were driving! Although the parks are navigated mostly via dirt tire ruts all over the place, Abu never hesitated on making a turn or ever consulted a map. He has many years of experience travelling through the parks. The day before my safari, Ann personally came to see me at my hotel, and we sat together as she explained what to expect and how the safari would work. Ann and Abu were both very responsive to texts and emails whenever I needed information. There are larger safari companies out there, but I’d highly recommend this family run business that gives a more personal approach any day. Highly recommended, they are truly a 10/10 safari company. I couldn’t say “Asante Sana” enough for their work.

Trip of a lifetime with attention to detail, community and eco-focus, and unforgettable experiences
This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We found Long Way Expeditions through Responsible Travel and their attention to supporting the community and sustainable practices was much appreciated and apparent in day to day practices as well as the lodges and companies they support. Ann was responsive and accommodating throughout the booking process. In addition to our custom safari itinerary, she was able to set up our logistics for segments of our trip far across the country, including a beach stay in Zanzibar. From the minute Abu met us at the airport in Arusha, we knew we were in good hands. Abu's ability to see animals while navigating rutted and narrow roads was incredible. His deep familiarity of the area and the flora and fauna that inhabit it was shared and made the experience more meaningful and impactful. We traveled in Africa for our honeymoon and Ann made sure each hotel knew we were celebrating a special occasion. I cannot say enough good things about this company. If you value supporting locally owned companies, eco-friendly travel, and a unique, specialized experience, Long Way Expeditions is for you. You will not be disappointed.
Just awesome
We've just returned from a trip of a lifetime.
And we cannot praise Ann and her team enough. From first making contact with 'Long Ways Expeditions' to the last day nothing was too much for the team and we felt well supported and looked after.
We had the most wonderful time, it was unbelievable how our driver, 'eagle eyed' Abraham spotted the animals. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the birds and wildlife. We came so very close to elephants, lions, baboons and giraffes, to name just a few. We even saw a leopard feeding on a carcass in a tree.
All the lodges we stayed in (locally owned) were absolutely fantastic and so was the food.
We can highly recommend the company. Anybody wanting to have a truly wonderful experience in Tanzania should contact 'Long Way Expeditions' and they will ensure you have a great experience. Ann came to see us on the last day to get our feedback. Nothing was too much for her.
