Excellent personalized service.
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.

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

Relish of Africa is a professional, punctual tour group that is extremely attentive to the customer.
We selected a 3 day luxury safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Matthias and Emmanuel met us at the JRO Airport and transported us to a nice hotel in Arusha. Early the next morning, we started a 3 day safari. Emmanuel is a 5-star tour guide-- knowledgeable, funny, and personable. The accommodations selected for us were beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The Toyota LandCruiser was modern and well-apportioned for the rough terrain. It was a pleasure to work with Relish of Africa. They truly made the 3 day safari a memorable experience. We will use them again.

The best tour the best safari experience - Relish of Africa
We took a lot of time to review various Safari operators and we chose Relish of Africa because of their flexibility, excellent communication, value for money and, importanlty, reviews and tour options. We travelled as a family of 4 and we couldn't recommend Relish of Africa highly enough. Prior the trip, the management were very responsive and accomodating. On the day of our arrival to Kilimanjaro airport, they collected us from the airport. They came back to our accomodation that evening to explain everything in detail. They were so accomodating to our wishes, our dietary requirements, our parents etc. They even helped us to get some food/ drink that evening. The trip itself was fantastic. Our guide Emanuel was very very knowledgable, but also, a really nice and down to earth person you would look forward to having lunch with. Pascal, our chef, stood out from other chefs we could see at camps. He sourced local produce and provided us with fresh, cooked from scratch meals every day. We saw all the wildlife we could possibly imagine and more. And this is definitely not an accident. You do need tour guides who are engaged, knowledgable and willing to provide the best experience to their guests. This is what we felt all along and could not recommend Relish of Africa, our guide Emanuel and Pascal, highly enough. Thank you!

EPIC adventure with great people:)
There is a plenty of Safari organising companies in Tanzania. Some are big, some are small, some are local some are not. As I'm a travel planner control freak I have contacted around 30 to make sure I chose well. As one of only few Relish of Africa have read my proposed plan, they did not come back with an alternative, they have also understood our budget and helped with finding the best accommodation possible still within it. They were also very responsive, I was getting a reply to even the smallest question withing a couple of hours. They cater with no problem for our dietary requirement (two of us were vegan), and also helped out with renting last minute a proper camera with serious lens.
Yes they are small company but that's why they listen to you, they go that extra mile to make the safari as memorable as its possible. By going with them, you are truly supporting local people, their family and community, not a company which runs from Amsterdam or Berlin.
We (4 people) went on 6 days/5 nights safari trough Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron. and it was EPIC!! We were accompanied by the guide Emmanuel "the eagle eye" and chef Pascal "the dancer", both men of many talents:) Their knowledge, the skills, the wit and the humour made this trip simply perfect. this is the easiest recommendation we all have ever made. We could not have been in better hands on our first ever African adventure and we will be back in the future for another safari in a different season:)
Emanuel, Pascal, Andrew and Richard - Asante sana guys and all the best to you:)

Thank you for great feedback, you are 120% correct to say that the safari depends very much on the driver-guide and the team that support him. Our staff at Relish of Africa are our biggest asset, we value them and they value our visitors. We are so happy that you enjoyed the trip!
Thank you and we look forward to welcome you and your new friends

Amazing Serengeti Safari with Relish of Africa
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.

We are flattered by your comments about our company, a local-owned business with many experience. We are Tanzanians and we really do care! And you are correct about the driver-guide being crucial to a great safari, this is essential.
Visitors spend a lot of time with their driver-guide, so we at Relish of Africa employ the finest there are.
Thanks so much!

Amazing safari with Emmanuel and Relish of Africa
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.
