Professional service
I planned a Safari trip with Relish of Africa, but unfortunately the trip didn't work out for personal reasons.
Along the last weeks I was in contact with Andrew who helped me a lot in planning the trip.
He was very professional and very responsive. He answred all my questions.
I felt that I was in good hands.

Excellent safari in Tanzania with relish of africa
I have been volunteering arusha and meet Andrew from relish africa to arrange a 7-day safari in Tanzania with Relish of Africa covering the Tarangire National park, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Solo travelling from Scotland. It is hard to know where to start in reviewing this experience. Everything from the first day to the last was just an incredible adventure. Travelling solo in Land Cruisers with excellent driver/guides, it seemed to have just one adventure after another. I have danced with Masai tribes people, survived an elephant charge, had a late night encounter with hippos, shot arrows with the Hadzabe tribe and had the best New party ever in a tent in the middle of nowhere in the Serengeti. And , of course , i saw lots and lots of animals - the BIg Five plus the now quite hard to find Black Rhino. I chose to stay in a mix of fairly elegant lodges (Simba lodge in the Tarangire) and Serena in Ngorongoro) and tented camps. Both kinds of accommodations were excellent and provided incredibly varied and tasty meals. Particularly i enjoyed our tent camp experience at seregeti heritages where the accommodation was simple and the food really excellent. One interesting feature of the camp is how you take a shower. The staff bring a bucket of nice warm water to your tent and - from the outside - empty it into a cistern. You then pull a chain and enjoy a warm - though short - shower. Our family had fun with that experience. Relish of Africa is small and superb safari company. From the time we first contacted them until we were all heading home, their customer service was outstanding. They were extremely responsive to all our emails and questions and we would have no hesitation recommending them. Chose to move on to a different destination each night which was good but quite tiring after 7 days. I would recommend staying in some spots for two nights. Otherwise, just go. You won't regret it.
Asante sana!!!

Great Safari
The support staff is excellent. They will provide whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable. The guides are extremely knowledgeable about the animals, and demographics of the region. The Serengeti is alive with wild game animals and non-game birds and animals as well. Everywhere you look is picturesque. The sounds of the lions at night is amazing and leaves one spellbound with the awesomeness of this magic land.

Our unforgettable trip with Relish of Africa!
We had the most incredible safari experience with Relish of Africa!! The entire trip was amazing, every day was really well planned out, our guides were very knowledgeable and shared so much information about every place we visited, the animals, and plants. Also, the properties where we stayed overnight were fabulous, it was so great coming to a beautiful place to relax after a long busy safari day! We couldn’t recommend Relish of Africa enough, they really created an unforgettable experience for us. Very professional, friendly and made us feel so welcome. And our guide Emanuel is possibly the best guide you can ask for on a safari trip, every day was so much fun!! Thank you so much!!

Amazing Vacation in Tanzania!
From the very beginning, my experience with Relish of Africa was amazing! Andrew was extremely prompt with answering my questions via whatsapp and making changes to our itinerary as needed. When we landed at JRO, Emmanuel and Mathias were on time to pick us up along with information. Emmanuel was an amazing safari guide - he was knowledgeable, flexible and fun throughout the whole trip. They also planned the Zanzibar portion of our trip and again everyone was always on time and knowledgeable about any questions we had. We had such a fun trip without having to worry about any details. Highly recommend this company!

Posted on Oct 14, 2022Thank you, it is true that the driver-guide is the key factor to have a super safari.
They have to be good animal-spotters, fun and flexible but also to have deep knowledge of the wildlife, peoples culture and landscapes . We believe that we employ the 5* star guides!
Thanks for choosing us and we do appreciate your custom, and your review!!!!

Extraordinary!
As a group of 5 people we did in July 2021 2 days safari – Tarangire and Ngorongoro and it was an unforgettable experience. Our driver/guide Emmanuel were really great. We´ve got lots of information and they were keen to answer any silly question we could have and were there really for us. We´ve already experienced safari in other countries and we had really bad experience as drivers there were really unrespectful to the animals and environment so we were a bit afraid about the same situation would happen here. But this company and drivers are really concern about the impact. They do their best to give unforgettable memories and experience to tourists but always give priority to respect the animals and nature. We stayed for overnight in Ngorongoro Simba campsite where our Chef Pascal prepared delicious food for us. It felt like heaven in the month, The service we´'ve got on this safari was brilliant and above our expectation. We´ve got more value for the price we paid. We highly recommend this company and to stay in Simba campsite. It was very different experience than staying in the lodge. Also, communication with Amos (the operation manager) was open and he was willing to customize the trip according to our demand and we appreciate that he was clear from the beginning about the prices and tips for drivers which are expected in most of the companies. We prefer that he informed us before and gave us clear guidance.
From all the companies we contacted this one gave us the best price offer and the service was over expectation. We highly recommend Relish of Africa and we would definitely choose you again guys for our safari holiday. Hopefully soon we will do another national park, Thanks for everything.

Amazing Tour Guides <3
We spent 4 days on safari with Relish of Africa, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment of booking until the end of the trip, we always felt comfortable and well taken care of. The experience was truly unique. We would gladly book with the same tour operator again and recommend them to anyone. Emanuel, Frank, and Dixon guided us perfectly throughout the 4 days. We received a lot of interesting information and were able to fully enjoy the sights of the wild animals. They were more than polite, attentive, and accommodating. Since our parents don't speak English, Dixon joined the tour and translated everything for them into German flawlessly. We wouldn't want to miss this shared adventure. A fantastic team! Thank you for everything! So glad we booked within you!

Best 5 days luxury safari with Relish of Africa
We went on a 5 day Private Premium Luxurious Lodge safari primarily thru the Serengeti National Park, but also visiting the Ngorongoro Crater and the Tarangire National Park. We stayed at the Gran Melia Arusha in Arusha and The retreat at ngorongoro, four seasons safari lodge in Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Melia lodge at the rim of the crater. Our driver/guide was Gerald. We have seen the migration in Serengeti national park. The game viewing was SPECTACULAR as was the bird life. We saw huge numbers of lion, elephant, giraffe, gazelle/antelope, hippo, buffalo, crocodile, zebra and wildebeest. Though further south, the migration was stupendous. We saw multiple cheetahs, including a hunt and kill, four elusive leopards and a black rhino. Rare animals included a serval cat and a puff adder.
The overall scale and diversity of animals and birds seen on this safari is astounding. This is the first time we have done this particular Safari, and we make a point to repeat a trip!!
The guide was amazing. Brilliant driver and what we have seen is beyond belief. The guide make our safari and simply the best safari with Relish of Africa. Gerald he is a true gentleman and with the eyes of an eagle and encyclopedia knowledge of birds, animals and the land.
The lodges are all magnificent with great food and excellent South African wines to complement. All of the staff are incredibly helpful.
Relish of Africa is a local luxurious experts company. They can tailor any tour to suit your needs. You cannot find a better safari operator in Tanzania.

Thanks so much for such a long, detailed review.
We are really flattered by your wonderful comments to our company. Particularly on a 5 day safari, the driver-guides must be first-class, as he must be able to find new, different sightings. We believe that our driver-guide are amongst the very best, committed to giving our visitors the very finest safari experience. Relish of Africa can handle all sizes, from solo travelers, couples, honeymoon, family's and upwards.
Thanks for trusting us and choosing us.

Friendly, competent, local knowledge
The safari was very well organized. The local people as well as our tour guide “Frank” were very friendly and helpful. Frank showed us the wild animals in the wildlife parks in an off-road vehicle over five days. With a lot of peace and a little patience, we had the opportunity to see almost all of the wild animals in this area. Further questions about the animals and local eggs were answered in an insightful manner. The food was always excellent. The trip was an extraordinary experience that I can always recommend.
