Unforgettable trip
Our safari was a dream come true, and it's all thanks to the fantastic work of "Somewhere in Africa." Everything was perfectly arranged. They made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything and could enjoy every moment! The communication with Coosje was clear and friendly, with a keen eye for our wishes.
During the safari, we were amazed by the beautiful lodges, stunning views, and a friendly guide. Spotting the Big Five was, of course, the highlight. It’s clear that "Somewhere in Africa" is passionate about what they do.
We ended our vacation with a week in Zanzibar, and unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown... In Zanzibar, the location of where you stay is crucial and can make or break your holiday! The boutique hotel "Alma," where we stayed, was very small, with few activities and facilities, only one restaurant, and no beautiful beach. The beaches in general are dependent on tides, but the situation varies by location. We tried to find fun restaurants or bars along the beach, but there were hardly any, or they were closed. We later learned that it’s better to stay in the North (especially for a couple like us, aged 26 and 28).
Once we communicated this with the organization, they immediately took action and did their best to make things right. They contacted the hotel, and we received a complimentary massage and bottle of wine. We also had a planned excursion with "Safari Blue," but unfortunately, that didn’t meet our expectations either. Again, the organization took action and as compensation, arranged a trip to the north to go dolphin watching by boat, snorkeling, and visiting a sandbank. This was worlds apart from Safari Blue and an unforgettable experience!
Although Zanzibar didn’t meet our expectations, we look back on the holiday with a very warm feeling and highly recommend this organization for an experience you’ll never forget!

Very well organised operator
We had a splendid tour of 6 days with guide Amani. After Tarangire and Mayara national parcs we went to the Serengati. Wow, what a parc! We slept there in Tukaone, a tented camp. We heard the elephants, waterbucks, zebras en jackals passing our tents at night. Incredible what an experience. The other days we slept in lodges. Eileens trees and Hhando coffee lodge were terrific. Twiga lodge lodge was middle class but okay. Overall we had a splendid safari.

A very kind and correct man.
We really enjoyed our safari trip to tarangire and ngorongoro. The guide was very kind and calm and gave us plenty of time to watch a lot of animals. The house where we slept was really neat and was very comfortable after a long safari day. We also loved the food the chef prepared for us. This safari was definitely worth the money, exept the way of payment was a bit of a struggle. I would advice you to pay with cash in stead of card. Overall I can definitely recommend going on safari with somewhere in Africa.

Great, kind, helpful team!
Host is a great man, who will do anything, just ask and he will help out. Team that cooks, does laundry, cleans are super kind, and always there for you. Volunteers can be a pain in the ass, don’t mind them. Be open about your sense of money, people in the street can easily rip you off. Always discuss and ask questions before you go get something, to Allan or Kevin. Don’t go hustling on the markets by yourself, you will be treated better and will get a better price when you are with a local you trust. You are safe to go for walks in the day, even alone. Always let someone know where you go and when you will come back. People in Tanzania a sensitive and kind human beings; remember you are very very rich in their eyes and compared to them. So kindly and strongly say know when you don’t want something. Walk away and be honest.
