Relish of Africa gave me and my 9 friends wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
5/5

This is Teemo from China. I contacted a lot of agencies on SafariBooking. Relish of Africa is the only one who carefully and efficiently replied our tour demand. We wanted to customized the tour and we changed ideas more than 10 times before we finally confirmed our entire trip, including hotels, locations, etc. The office manager Andrew always gave us the best plan in 1-2 days. We are a huge team of 10 people from China, and Relish of Africa sent 3 guides and 2 ORV cars altogether to keep the tour funny and safe. I would like to thank Frank and Mathias specially again, Frank is a handsome guide who has over 11 experience in exploring Serengeti, he could always find those animals which were really difficult to be found. Mathias is a really nice manager who accompanied us all the way. Most importantly, their prices are much much more reasonable.
Thanks Relish of Africa, I would definitely recommend your team to my friends in China who are looking for an amazing tour in Tanzania.

Excellent personalized service.
5/5

The whole experience from booking the trip, through arrival in Tanzania to drop off at the airport was absolutely outstanding. Excellent customized traveling arrangements, very knowledgeable tour guide Frank during our safari adventure provided a lot of fun & valuable info about the animals & the area. Great organization of the trip, fantastic hotels, amazing food. We got also a great value for our money especially on the hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti. We are already planning our next trip and we highly recommend Relish of Africa & Frank to all travelers.

Friendly, competent, local knowledge
5/5

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.

We had a great private safari tour due to their flexible and willing attitude. Frank(safari guide) and Pascal(chef) were very friendly and competent to the whole thing. The tour was adjustable to our own schedule and we're all satisfied with it. Thank you again.

The amazing and unforgettable safari!
5/5

I asked the plan of Moshi tour and Ngorongoro&Tarangire NP tour as a budget tour

They fulfilled my demands! They adjusted a itineary within my budget and their CS team reply was so fast!

I'd been to Materuni falls, Chagga tirbe village, Ngorongoro and Tarangire NP.

Those are so nice especially Ngorongoro was so fantastic. A Crater itself was so Creature of Mother Nature!

The tour guide Frank ensured that we met so many animals and Pascal the wonderful cook offered the fine meals that is most delicious i'd eaten in tanzania.

I highly recommend that you enjoy the safari with Relish of Africa. Asante sana

Definitely Recommend! Amazing unforgettable experience! Great Safari Company with Professional Guide
5/5

We did a 5 DAYS / 4 NIGHT PRIVATE LUXURY SAFARI TOUR which was just amazing! We had a great experience. Thnx Relish of Africa for making our dreams come true! They created a customised tour for us and accommodated all our special requests. Managers were very kind and attentive. They did their best to make our holidays unforgettable. We've got one of the best Guides - Frank, who became a real friend for us during Safari! All Lodges were amazing, good 4x4 Safari jeep, excellent food. And of course stunning Nature and Animals! We saw lots of animals including Lions, Cheetahs and even Rhinos! We didn't see only Leopards, however we saw them couple of year before during another trip, so we closed our Big Five!

Best 5 days luxury safari with Relish of Africa
5/5

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.

Amazing safari with Emmanuel and Relish of Africa
5/5

The most important part of doing a safari is having a great driver and guide. We were very fortunate to have Emmanuel as our guide on our trip. You can and should request Emmanuel to be your guide. He was a seasoned, professional and expert guide and driver. His ability to spot game from far away was amazing. We saw several hard to find leopard and cheetahs thanks to him along with all the rest of the animals. He genuinely enjoyed what he was doing and would go the extra mile to make sure we saw what we wanted to see. Additionally, he was a safe driver who navigated the never ending bouncy roads with ease.

The second most important part of a safari s having a travel agency that you can trust from far away. Relish of Africa was great to work with. They were extremely patient with our endless questions and desire to customize our itinerary and last minute changes and stayed in constant contact throughout our trip to ensure we were having a great time. It is also apparent they take good care of their vehicles.

Would highly recommend Relish of Africa again.

Amazing Serengeti Safari with Relish of Africa
5/5

Relish of Africa is an amazing tour company. From first contact, to planning our trip, and arrival in Tanzania, the service provided was top class. Andrew, who was our tour operator/ planner was very responsive to all of our requests. He was thorough in the itinerary preparation and recommendations. He also picked us up from the airport on our day of arrival and took us back to the airport on our day of departure (at 5:00 am and was an hour drive from the hotel to Kilimanjaro airport).

My wife and I did the luxury tour to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. We also did a cultural experience to a Masai Village. The value was worth the amount we paid. I found Relish of Africa to be very reliable and trustworthy. Reggie, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and went beyond of expectations to ensure we saw all of the animals we were interested in seeing including the Big 5. We saw 4 of the 5 Big 5 animals. We did not see a leopard but we saw some cheetahs which was amazing, so my expectations were exceeded.

We had had lunches eat day with a basket full of fresh local fruit, unlimited water and wine and beer.

The hotels we stayed at were Melia in Arusha, Four Seasons in Serengeti, Melia in Ngorongoro, and Kibo Palace on our last night before departure. All were top class with excellent location and service.

I highly recommend Relish of Africa if you are planning a Safari in Tanzania.
