16 Wonderful Days in Africa
This is my second experience with Tanganyika Ancient Routes and I could not have been happier. Every detail, no mater how tiny, was given the staff's quick and complete attention. The food was outstanding and each member of the staff went above and beyond to make sure our every wish was granted. They were enormously helpful with language and money questions and always gave us a feeling of safety and security especially when we were required to cross the border to another country. The safari tour of the Crater was so beautiful. It was a wild ride that I will not soon forget. I would highly recommend Tanganyika Ancient Routes to anyone interested in traveling to Africa and, if I go back to Tanzania, I would book with them again.
An amazing experience!
Not knowing what to expect from a safari adventure, I couldn't say enough about what an amazing experience it was, surpassing my expectations. Everything was taken care of - from the Safari Jeep, to the wonderful driving skills, the outstanding food and accommodations ... and the best part would be seeing all the different animals and the history surrounding them. The Guide had a wealth of knowledge. If you are looking for an awesome adventure - contact Tanganyika Ancient Routes!

Amazing food, great vehicle, super communication skills, top notch!
My husband and I were part of a group. The vehicle provided as much comfort as is feasibly possible on those crazy roads. We always had water available and the guide's English speaking skills were great. We can't say enough about the food... always a different combination, always the most amazing flavors! Even though we were in a camp, the staff treated us as if we were in a five star hotel. That's not an easy feat!! Many thanks to the staff and guide.

An amazing safari experience
Charles and his team are fantastic. I have been on safaris with other companies, but none compare to Tanganyika Ancient Routes. Everyone is very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The vehicles are comfortable and reliable and the accommodations are as luxurious as you wish. Most importantly, they seem to know all the other drivers and guides which means that they always know where the animals are. So, you can spend more time viewing the amazing game and less time bouncing around searching for them! I will definitely be back and highly recommend them to all my friends.

My first Safari
This was my first experience doing Safari. I was absolutely blown away. Charles and his crew took care of everything. I felt that if there was anything to see on my trip... I saw it. Tanganyika Ancient Routes made everything comfortable and easy. I and my trip companions wanted for nothing while on our adventure. There is so much knowledge with this group that anything we saw or threw at them they were able to explain clearly so we could learn everything we could. I have been home just a few days, but I have let everyone I talked that they need to call and schedule a safari with Tanganyika Ancient Routes Ltd.

Lifetime dream fulfilled
I have been dreaming of an African safari for as long as I can remember, and my experience was even more than I had hoped. It was an experience that cannot possibly be put into words! We had so many up-close and personal encounters with the animals, mostly because of the experience of our guide, who grew up in the area we toured. I highly recommend Tanganyika Ancient Routes! Bring a good camera with a telephoto lens. It's an experience of a lifetime!

Outstanding experience that fulfilled my expectations
My safari tour was an amazing experience. We saw every type of animal and so many newborn babies. Our guide made sure that we were in close proximity to all the animals and we usually had the "prime spot" in front of all the other jeeps. Our photo opportunities were right on and our pictures looked like they came from National Geographic because we were able to get so close. Each day was filled and on time. The lunches were very good and more than satisfying. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who was looking for a first class safari with an extremely knowledgeable guide.

Great personalized experience!
We were referred to Charles by a friend and had a great experience! It was our first safari and he made a personalized itinerary for the two of us. He helped with booking flights, lodging, and there were no glitches the entire trip. He has extensive knowledge of the country, culture, animals, and wildlife. Plus, he has so many connections with other guides that we easily saw The Big 5! Would definitely recommend Tanganyika if you're looking for very personalized services and have an interest in understanding more about the beautiful wildlife you're experiencing.

The Best Trip I've Ever Taken!
My safari with Tanganyika Ancient Routes was the best trip I've ever taken in my life, and I've traveled a lot. Charles and his team helped us every step of the way. We changed our itinerary multiple times and the team made that very easy for us to do, allowing us to customize the trip to our liking.
Tanganyika Ancient Routes was focused and professional from the moment we landed. They were waiting for us on time and made me feel extremely comfortable in an unfamiliar culture.
Our safaris were amazing. We saw everything we wanted to see and the guides allowed us to stay and watch certain groups of animals for however short or long of a time period we wanted. They made the long drives fun and taught us about the land, animals and language.
Our accommodations far exceeded my expectations. We stayed in lodges that made us feel like we were part of the culture, rather than busy hotels.
I always felt safe and taken care of.
I would not hesitate to take another trip with Tanganyika Ancient Routes.

Tanganyika Ancient Routes provided a complete safari experience down to the last detail.
We trusted Charles and Pam of Tanganyika Ancient Routes to plan our "trip of a lifetime" and they far exceeded all expectations. Their thorough and thoughtful plan for our group of ten travelers was perfect. They guided us through the flights, trip insurance, immunization, and visa procedures for our travelers from four countries. We were welcomed by Charles and his team at the airport and from that point on they handled every detail of our trip. All we had to do was pick what to eat from the many gourmet meals offered to us. Travel in the safari vehicles was delightful as our knowledgable guides taught us about the flora and fauna in each park and about the natural resources and people of beautiful Tanzania. They even taught us some Swahili words, phrases and songs and soon became our friends. The highlight of the trip was the wildlife in the national parks as we saw all of the "big five" and many more animals up close. Many of our accomodations were within the parks so that even at night we had these beautiful wild animals roaming right near our tents! Through it all we were always made to feel safe and comfortable. Words cannot express my appreciation of the care that Charles took to ensure the best experiences on our trip. I would not hesitate to plan future adventures with Charles, Pam and Tanganyika Ancient Routes and am happy to support a Tanzanian owned and managed company.
