Excellent choice for customized Safaris
If you want to book one of the standard packages, I think any tour operator is fine. However we had many customizations we needed to make to our itinerary. We wanted to stay with specific lodges and we needed to shuffle the ordering of visiting them due to our flights. Pendo was excellent in working with us through each of our requests, and she managed to do it in a tight timeframe after our original flights needed to be changed. We managed to have an excellent time in Zanzibar and Tanzania

Very prompt response and clear communication.
Pendo from Tales of Tanzania has been very responsive since the start. All information was communicated clearly through email. Booking was easy and all the transaction were done without much issue.
Our guide, Naiman, was very helpful and the best we could ever ask for. He was kind and always gave his best effort to ensure we got to see all the animals, including the wildebeest migration.
Despite there was some miscommunication about the hot air balloon arrangement during our trip in Serengeti, Pendo and Naiman had given their best effort to manage and ensure we got to enjoy this amazing experience.
We definitely strongly recommend both Tales of Tanzania and our guide.

Tales of Tanzania were professional, covered every detail, responsive and friendly
Pendo and Tales of Tanzania communicated very well and catered for all our needs. In booking from Australia, Pendo responded to all my queries very quickly and positively. Nothing was too much trouble. Pendo designed a safari around our needs and desires. Peter our guide was amazing. He knew everything about the people, cultures and animals. He ensured our experience was memorable by finding the Big 5 and many more beautiful animals. The recommended hot air ballooning over the Serengeti was a must do. I highly recommend Pendo, Peter and the team at Tales of Tanzania Safari’s for your first and next safari. Thinking of a safari in Tanzania, look no further than Pendo and the team at Tales of Tanzania Safari’s. Again thanks to Pendo and Tales of Tanzania Safari’s for making our safari an amazing and memorable experience.

Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Experiences with Tales of Tanzania Safaris
I recently had the pleasure of traveling with tales of Tanzania, and I must say, it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I booked, the team provided exceptional service, ensuring that every detail of my trip was meticulously planned and executed.
The value for money was outstanding; the agency offered a high level of service. Before my journey, they were incredibly accommodating, making several adjustments to my itinerary and hotel bookings to ensure I had the best experience possible.
What truly set tales of Tanzania apart was their knowledgeable and friendly guide. Not only did they take us to see the most incredible wildlife, but they also enriched our trip with fascinating insights and animal knowledge
I wholeheartedly recommend tales of Tanzania to anyone looking for a travel agency that combines top-notch service with a deep commitment to creating memorable and educational travel experiences."

Dismas was great - well informed and very fun!
We had an absolutely wonderful time on our tour! I cannot recommend this enough. The company was super responsive to questions during the planning process. Our guide, Dismas, was amazing and did an excellent job taking us around the parks. We also loved all of our accommodations! This was a perfect experience!

Great safari tour organizer with hakuna matata mindset !
We choose Tales of Tanzania because of their responsiveness and for the beautiful accommodations proposed. The prices are similar to other companies, but the quality of communication is great.
Our point of contact was Pendo, she is calm and easygoing, will always find alternatives if requested. Our guide was great too, understanding the special needs of our family.
To summarize, a great familial safari tour organizer with hakuna matata mindset !

Exceeded our expectations!
From initial booking to the last day of the trip everything was handled perfectly by Pendo and her team. The booking went smoothly, when we arrived we were picked up by our guide, Said, who was waiting at the airport. Check in at every lodge and hotel went smoothly. The choice of hotels / lodge was perfect and great choice of food at each resort we stayed at.
Said was a brilliant guide. He was courteous, friendly and full of local knowledge about the people and the animals. I couldn't recommend him enough.
What can I say about the Safari? Amazing! Better than we ever thought it could be.
But this review is about the company,. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them if we ever go back again. Even on the last day when we had time to kill before our flight Pendo came to meet us and arranged for us to see the markets of Arusha. A very good day that we hadn't planned upon- thank you.

Amazing experience
From April 15-22, 2023, myself and six of my friends embarked on an extraordinary safari journey with Tales of Tanzania, a family-owned operator based in Arusha. I worked with Pendo, the owner, to plan the trip. Her prompt and attentive responses to my numerous emails, addressing every aspect from lodges to food, parks to logistics was great
Our adventure began in Arusha then we went to Tarangire National Park where we saw so many elephants. After we went to Manyara park. Then, we set our sights on the Serengeti, our home for three unforgettable days. The view of the Kubu Kubu Lodge was amazing and left us awe-inspired. We finished our trip in the Ngorongoro Crater before heading back to Arusha.
All the lodges we stayed exceeded our expectations. Exceptional views, comfortable accommodations, and delightful cuisine, and everywhere the staff was very attentive to our needs. We celebrated the birthday of one of my friends, they surprised us with a lively dance and heartwarming Swahili songs, my friend had the best birthday ever !
We were fortunate to see so much during our safari. From playful baby lions to lionesses after a successful kill, from herds of over 200 elephants gathering in the Serengeti (apparently for a grand meeting) to the majestic rhinos, hippos, and graceful giraffe. sightings also included various antelope species, olive and yellow baboons, monkeys (who stole our lunch) , soaring vultures, wildebeest, hyenas, agile mongooses, alligators, and so many beautiful bird species.
The true essence of our safari experience would not have been possible without our exceptional guide, Dismas has a bionic eye to see from afar all the wildlife and bring us there. He played an indispensable role in making our safari an unforgettable journey, he was attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about all the wildlife. We had a lot of fun with him the entire week.
Tales of Tanzania, with Dismas as our guide gave us an exceptional experience. Their well-equipped and comfortable Land Cruiser provided us with a seamless ride. I highly Tales of Tanzania to all seeking an unforgettable safari adventure.

Greatest trip so far. Tales of Tanzania Safaris super team
We did a Safari in April with the Tales of Tanzania team and we absolutely felt in love. Pendo and Dismas have organized an extraordinary trip that will remain deeply etched in our memories for years to come. The quality of the accommodation, the food, the service, the punctuality, everything was fantastic. Thank you so much for these beautiful moments.
