Great safari with all of the big five :)
We had a great time in the Tarangire National park and the Ngorogor park. We saw a lot of different animals like lion, giraffe, elephants, cheetah, rhino, zebra, hippo, flamingos and a lot of more. The two parks complement each other perfectly. I think two days also the perfect time. We had the ranger Omar, he was great. He is very funny, had good mood and told some story’s about the culture and the animals. We enjoyed it very much. Also the seats in the jeep are very comfortable and you get different drinks in the car.

Amazing experience from start to finish, great team
We had the most incredible experience with Travel Africa Safari Agency. I will absolutely recommend this agency to everyone I know.
From the start, Mohamed was extremely responsive and had answers to all of my questions. We felt like we were in great hands and it was a perfect representation of the level of service we had throughout our trip. The night before the safari, Mohamed explained the entire timeline to us and we were picked up on time the next morning.
Our guide, Joseph, was so knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. He could also spot animals from so far away, even seeing a leopard hiding on rocks that I can’t believe we saw! Joseph was a fantastic driver and made for a perfect team with our chef Richie. Richie even baked fresh bread in the middle of the Serengeti, which is something I will remember forever!
I highly recommend this team, we had the best time, saw every animal on our list, and enjoyed every second of our Safari!! I believe the safari was worth so much more than the price, this team over delivered every step of the way. True commitment to hospitality and making dreams come true for their guests. Thank you Travel Africa Safari agency team!!

Big 5
We had an overall pleasent experience. We've seen plenty of animals. Stanley our Guide and Driver made sure we would and navigate us solidly in the right spot to see them. Once he extended our stay as we were about to see the unthinkable a tiger hunt! The Big 5 were an easy task for him. He always made sure we are informed and kept a good mood in the car (although this was easy as our group was great :)) )
The food provided to us was insane, sometimes we thought we are on a food safari or we are beeing fed to the animals at the end as it was great and plenty.
The organisation team was very diligent, coming to the hotel for briefing, bringing us to the airport and have a personal chat about our experiences.
All in all it was really excellent.

Stanley is a humble and knowledgable person and a very good driver. He made sure we’re all content.
The communication was excellent and super fast in responding. The whole organization was also very lean and exact, everything according to plan.
Great experience!

It worths more than the price
At first I looked for budget group safari. But it worths than that. Special thanks to our guide Malisa. He’s a professional driver and guide. The whole experience let me doubt I choose a budget safari. I’m sure that the safari is not inferior to any others. Also the camping experience is way much better than I thought.

Amazing 4-day safari
Me and my wife went on a 4-day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Our guide and driver Mtinangi was just great, making sure we all felt safe and happy. He was also experienced and made sure to educate us about the wildlife. Just to exemplify how caring the staff were, they made my wife a birthday cake without anyone asking for it! To summarize, we bring back home memories for life, much thanks to Mtigangi and team. Happy to give my recommendation.

The most empathetic and passionate team!
I highly recommend Travel Africa Safari for their Phenomenal services. I am glad that I chose to travel with them after checking with so many other operators.
They went the extra mile at every step of the way. Summarising my experience here:
1. Team is always active over emails/whatsapp
2. They Guided and recommended on how to go about the bookings
3. Customised the tour as per my schedule
5. Guides/Drivers- Excellent. Eliyas and Mandela were so experienced and informative. Not to mention they were so passionate about the animals.
6. Food- The menu had variety and food was so damn delicious (10 on 10).
7. Camps- Location of all the campsites was awesome. Tents were new and clean. Washrooms were passable.
8. Hotel in Arusha (Tourist Inn) - Passable
Truly beyond expectation.
Kudos to the team- Mohammed, Jacqueline and William (special mention Elias and Mandela).
During my last day in Arusha I had internet issues and they welcomed me to their office where I could finish my work. So touched with their hospitality and empathy.
All the BEST.
ASANTE SANA!!!

The best safari agency in Tanzania!
Five stars all the way around! I booked both a group safari tour as well as a private tour and it was the best experience. I’m a travel photographer that has lived all over the world and has photographed tours internationally but this is by far my favorite. These young men were beyond professional from the booking to the safari itself. And my guide for both tours Freddy was the best!! I’ll be back in a few months to see the other National parks and will definitely book them. Thanks again!
Great for Solo Female Travelers
Wow wow wow! This safari was amazing! I cannot say enough good things. Mohammad did an excellent job of coordinating. Juma (the guide) was super knowledgeable and did a good job of helping us spot the animals. Joel, who coordinates the waterfall/coffee tour/hot springs excursion, was a great companion and super knowledgeable. I felt really taken care of as a solo traveler and would encourage others to book with this company. Choosing the group option allowed me to meet other travelers from all over the world.

Out of this world
If you’re looking for a well organized and high value safari trip look no further. I can’t recommend Travel Africa enough, if I could give 6 stars I would (and I’m pretty stingy with my 5 star ratings). Our safari was an 8 day, mid range, private wildlife safari and cultural excursion. We were traveling with an 11 year old and 13 year old. We came in January which we loved because it was green, cool and not as crowded as the summer months. Mohamed, from my first email, was very responsive and answered all my questions (I had so many questions!). He talked us through all the options and truly made a customized experience for us. He arranged our pick up and drop off (we had a very early departure) and greeted us the first day for a briefing of our trip and made sure to come by the hotel on our last day to send us off.
The quality of your safari has everything to do with your guide and I’m convinced we had the best. You should absolutely request to have Omari as your guide (we took to calling him by his Tanzanian name of Mtanagi). He’s been guiding for 15 years and is really passionate about the animals, birds and history of the land, so he has so much information to offer. Because of his experience he knows so many of the other guides which is really helpful in finding animals. He had a real knack for putting us in the perfect viewing position for all the animals and he has an amazing eye for spotting animals. I actually challenged myself to find a big cat before he did, I did it once and felt pretty proud of myself. Beyond all this, we always felt safe with Mtanagi. He’s a skilled driver, he got us out of tricky spots in mud and was well prepared with all the safety tools and it’s clear he knows how to fix and deal with a safari rig. He’s a dad of 10 so he understood how it is traveling with an 11 and 13 year old. I think what made us really love him was he was present with us, he shared about his life and asked about ours, he ate most of our meals with us (at the hotel it was rare to see guides eating dinner and breakfast with their clients). He treats all people with such kindness and care that it’s impossible not to love him. He took such amazing care of us, it felt really sad to say goodbye.
Our accommodations were top notch. The organization and schedule was seamless but was never so ridged that we couldn’t adjust a little bit along the way. Things ran promptly which I appreciate. The rig was comfortable and roomy and well stocked with water, beer and wine which was a nice perk.
There are so many tour companies and can be daunting in trying to figure out which one to go with. We felt like the value was high for the price and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. Travel Africa comes highly recommended!!
