Awesome tour with an amazing guide!
How’s a perfect safari ? It’s not easy to tell but this operator offers the perfect package! The tour guide was amazing, the operator was very helpful in advance and during the safari. We saw a lot of animals, the food en route was always perfect and the lodges were handpicked !

Absolutely gorgeous, wonderfully organized, we had the best time of our lives
Dirk from capture tanzania gave us incredibly great advice in advance. He has answered so many questions in the best way. He is extremely responsive to all our wishes. Price performance was unbeatable I think. We felt so comfortable. We had a German speaking driver for 5 wonderful days. Timmy was wonderful. Every day was different and became even more beautiful. Everything 100% reliable, highly recommended!

Very good service. Everything was fine.
I booked a 3 days Safari and 6 days to Kilimanjaro. I can recommend. I would do it again.
Liars and thieves
Like other reviewers we booked for safari in 2022, eventually paid in full as requested but got nothing in return except lies from Dirk and his bunch of thieves.

Unscrupulous
We made a large down payment to the owner but we suspect that he never transferred it to his partner in Tanzania because they did not render us any service. Capture Tanzania Adventure did not provide a refund and we lost our money. As a result, it is our opinion that the owner does not care about the disappointment and the loss of family money.

We regret trusting the owner with our money
We feel that we have been scammed and we regret that we trusted the owner with our money.
We booked a safari back in mid-June and had paid for the whole safari (totaling GBP 2,110) in advance. In the days leading up to the safari we heard nothing from them and were getting concerned. Then, two days before the safari was due to start, we were told it was cancelled as the company was going into insolvency.
We were told at the time that the owner of Capture Tanzania Adventure had had an accident 3 weeks ago - we believe this is a lie as a review from 4 weeks before that mentions the same story.
Nothing had been booked for us so we would like to understand where our money went, but he has refused to provide an explanation which added further to our suspicions.
Due to the poor communications, lack of a reasonable explanation, and amount of people this has happened to we feel that we have been scammed by the owner and we suspect that he has zero intention of returning our money.
We’re going to have to pursue legal recourse. The Tanzanian police and tourist office have been useless at responding to our emails but thankfully there are other options.

Unprofessional
We also had a very bad experience with this tour operator, and are now fighting with the Tanzanian Police to get our money back.
We booked a 3 day safari for our honeymoon for beginning of October, and already had to pay the full amount in June. In September when it came to arranging the pick up, Capture Tanzania started not to answer and not picking up the phone any more, and if someone answered then we just received vague answers from one of the owners and that they will "check". We sent a lot of long e-mails and called them many many times, with no response. We also had to find out ourselves, that no bookings were done for us (neither accommodation nor flights). The two alarming reviews on SafariBookings.com from September unfortunately came too late for us as warning.
The Tourism Police Unit in Arusha has said they are working to track down Capture Tanzania. In our opinion we have been scammed by Capture Tanzania.
Our clear advice, don't pay them any money. Good luck.

AWFUL
I'm glad this company is no longer allowed on here as in our opinion we have been scammed. Unfortunately I had purchased a safari with them before they were taken off of here. I'm so upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has ruined my honeymoon entirely and am out about $2600 Canadian. Please be more careful when choosing tour companies that can advertise on here.

Warning! Suspected insolvency! Capture Tanzania Adventure LTD ARUSHA
On 14.07.22 I booked a 2-day safari from Zanzibar to Tanzania (Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP) on the recommendation of a regional TUI travel agency in Cottbus. The contacts to the above-mentioned tour operators took place exclusively through the local travel agency. On the eve of the departure for the safari in Zanzibar, the first cancellation (due to accident of the GF) with the alternative for an AWT took place on 23./24.09.22. Here, too, the cancellation was made by EMAIL the evening before to the local travel agency in Cottbus. On 22.09.22 there was an EMAIL with "comforting words" and the notification of the repayment of the travel price signed by the "booking team" of the above mentioned company. Since then, the owner has only sent a regrettable message to my travel agency because of my report in various travel portals and the substantive notification of insolvency combined with the threat of legal action, I should continue to warn against this above-mentioned company and have filed a criminal complaint against the mentioned company.
