Exceptional Safari Experience with Personalized Service
Our experience with this tour company was exceptional from start to finish. Communication beforehand was top-notch; they addressed all our questions and offered accommodations of our choice. Upon arrival, we were picked up and transported to our hotel, and throughout the trip, they were very attentive to our needs.
During the safari, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions about the animals, culture, and the country. The lunches provided were always warm, freshly cooked by the lodges, and served very cleanly with tablecloths, cutlery, and plates.
The jeeps were in excellent condition, cleaned inside daily, and stocked with enough water and fruit for the journey. Our trip took us from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, then to Serengeti National Park, and finally to Ngorongoro National Park, including the Ngorongoro Crater, before returning.
We were a group of eight, split into two jeeps, and they even organized a German-speaking guide to accompany us. The drivers were very polite and always ensured we were comfortable. We learned a lot and had many laughs along the way.
We definitely recommend this tour company and would book with them again. Compared to other safari providers, we felt we had the best guides. It’s a small family-run business, which added a personal touch to the entire experience.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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