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.

Thank you for your detailed review, which is much appreciated.
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!
Best regards
Mathius.

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 and we look forward to welcome you and your new friends

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!

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!
