Top safari thanks to a superb team!
The trip was a great success thanks to the Tarakwai team. In contrast to the mass tourism that is slowly but surely developing in the safari sector, Tarakwai has a very personal approach. They also put special emphasis on sustainability, especially in the choice of accommodation. This gives participants the rare opportunity to meet locals on a very different basis than ordinary tourists. After all, many encounters are possible thanks to the team's personal contact with the residents and are therefore particularly memorable. In addition, the entire team is very likeable and always sociable. I can recommend it without any reservations.

Wonderful and unforgettable experience with TARAKWAI Safari
The trip was very well organized. I did not worry about anything, enjoyed my vacation every day.
The accommodations were very simple, clean and sustainable. Today, when I think about the safari trip in Serengeti, I immediately get a big smile.
What I really appreciate: I experienced Tanzania first hand, got to know the local people and their everyday life and problems. I have witnessed the culture and tasted the typical food.... Awesome.
For those who want to experience something more, something fuller, something better, I can recommend TARAKWAI with all my heart!

The tour operator that provides more than just safari adventures
The reason why I enjoyed my trip to Tansania so much was that it did not only consist of spectacular Safari moments seeing Lions hunt or elephant herd crossing the street in front of us, but also allowed visiting projects to improve health care, professional trainings and care for people with special needs. The camps/hotels where we stayed were individual projects not belonging to large hotel companies, having their own charm and always allowed us to be close to nature and were managed in a sustainable manner. As an operator the people behind Tarakwai were always approachable and ready to help and flexibly adjust programs to the groups wishes. The pricing of the tour was reasonable given the broad range of experiences that were offered. Overall highly recommendable for travellers who would like to experience Tanzani off the beaten track.

An incredible experience with a company that is working to offer much more than just safaris.
My trip with Tarakwai is something that I will never forget. I didn't ever think that I would go on a Safari but then I came across Tarakwai, a safari company that offered experiences that were affordable, deeply connected to the local landscapes and ecosystem, socially and environmentally conscious, and focused on working with and celebrating the local people and cultures. What they aspire to is incredible and what they offer is an opportunity to slow down, experience the wonder of northern Tanzania, and immerse yourself in what's around you.
I saw things that I have never seen before (27 giraffes at once), had experiences that were truly memorable (having a curious elephant come within feet of our vehicle), and enjoyed every moment of my experience with Tarakwai. From going on bush walks to driving through the Serengeti, everything was fantastic. The guides and drivers were also wonderful. On our last day in the Serengeti, Elias, our driver and guide, was joking that I would have to come back to Tanzania because I had seen everything but a cheetah. He then quietly took a detour and pointed out a couple of cheetahs sleeping under a tree. It was small things like that that stood out. We also got close to the wildlife and were able to do so while getting away from the crowds. Even in some of the busiest parts of the Serengeti we were able to find a way to feel almost alone with the wildlife around us.
