Awesome trip
Charles Mpanda and Tanganyika Ancient Routes were fabulous from start to finish. During planning they listened to our ideas and desires and helped plan and coordinate a great trip. Charles and all the drivers were kind, patient, fun, and very knowledgeable. We had an awesome trip!

Everything we hoped for and more
For years my wife and I had hoped to go on an African safari with our kids and with some friends, and when the time came to plan it, a friend of ours highly recommended that we use Charles Mpanda and his Tanganyika Ancient Routes tour company as our guide. We were not disappointed, Charles and his drivers were the best... they were extremely friendly, helpful and insightful.
Charles was amazing at spotting animals that we could never have seen without him. Traveling for an extended safari with preteen kids can be challenging, but Charles and his staff were absolutely great with the kids and the kids had a lot of fun with them. All the overnight arrangements were wonderful and Charles was hands on if any issues needed clearing up.
As our friend did for us, we can also highly recommend Charles to you... our safari was everything we hoped it would be and more.

The trip of a lifetime!
Our safari group was a reunion of friends - 6 adults and 3 children - and everyone had a great time. Each day was a new experience of stunning landscapes and amazing animals… far beyond our expectations. The accommodations were top-notch and all of the transportation arrangements (by air and by land) were very smooth. Charles Mpanda and his company handled every detail of the journey so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. Charles and the drivers were friendly, personable, accommodating to our needs, and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and local culture. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Unbelievable experience
I have just spent the most wonderful experience of my lifetime in Tanzania while on Safari with Tanganyika Ancient Routes more importantly with Charles the owner. The locations that we went to were unbelievable, I have never seen so many wonderful landscapes and the animals that we saw just blew me away. Charles knowledge of Tanzania and the wildlife is the best, while driving alone we would stop and I would be thinking what are we stopping for and Charles would say “just over there beside the tree” and right enough there would be a Cheetah or a hyena or something there ……….amazing.
I will defiantly be using Charles services again the sooner the better.

Amazing trip!
I've traveled all over the world and I was blown away with Tanzania. The animals, the landscape, the people, were all amazing. But what really made this trip was Charles. He helped us through the booking process (with many changes) and then took care of us every minute while in the country. I will always recommend him and his company to anyone looking to go on a Safari.

Fabulous trip!
I had a wonderful time on safari!!! My guide was very friendly and welcoming. He knew all about the animals, trees, and history of the area and I felt like I got a cultural tour with the safari. He was flexible and was willing to make stops at some of the stores to see the tanzanite and to get coffee at a local shop. On safari he knew the parks like the back of his hand and knew which trails to go on to see certain animals. It was a wonderful trip. The only downside was that it was harder to pay for than other safaris. There is no option to pay for it online. I had to send a copy of my credit card with a filled out form.

Best trip our Family has ever been on.
Our family has visited many places in the US, as well as Mexico and Canada. We live in the beautiful pacific Northwest and normally go to Hawaii during the winter for some warm weather . That said, our family was amazed by the beautiful locations this company took us too, the incredible animals, and the wonderful people we met along the way. What made the trip even more special was our guide Charles. He immediately made us comfortable in his country the minute we landed, won over our children (Even our shy seven year old), and educated us about his country and his culture. I would absolutely recommend this Company to anyone thinking about going on Safari in Tanzania.

Indescribable African tours
This was our first trip to Africa in years and what a pleasant experience it was. The guide, the drivers and accomadations were all excellent. We saw more animals than we could ever imagined and the TWO river crossings of wildebeests was fantastic. We had a few snafu's, but all in all it was the trip of a life time.

Amazing Tanganyika Ancient Routes safari
Charles Mpanda, you are truly great at what you do. The Tanzania safari was spectacular. Tanganyika Ancient Routes made this an incredibly special trip. We were in all the right spots at the right time. Seeing the wildebeest migration has to be one of the most impressing things I've ever seen, in any of my travels. I would recommend your company to any of my friends, associates and clients. Thanks for making this a trip of a life time.

Our experience was way beyond our expectations especially the hands on service that Charles provides
Charles and his crew saw to it that every details was taken care of long before our arrival at the camps. The tour itself, we were told, has to include some luck for animal sightings. But at every park our guides knew exactly where to go to get to view the animals. The guides were so knowledgeable about everything from plants and trees to birds to animals. The accommodations that Charles booked were outstanding. The food that was prepared was always fresh and the chefs planned meals were always great combinations. Also the service was better than most hotels in the US provide.
