Reliable tour operator for a safari trip
What we booked: 10-day shared safari trip with mid-range accommodation (we were two people)
Communication: Salimu was my main point of contact from the start, he provided detailed itinerary and details on all accomodations. We have not seen him after the first day, but he was accessible via Whatsapp and responded very quickly to any questions. Friendly, good English, straightforward communication, he even gifted us a cake for our honeymoon! On the downside, I had to chase him daily to get the time to start and other details for the next day, and he told us a wrong time of pick up for the first day (6.30am instead of 8.30am) meaning that we didn't get enough of much needed rest after a long flight. Other people were guides and drivers, mostly outsourced because it was a 'shared' trip, some better than the others but ok on average.
Service: A couple of times we started safari rather late in the morning (11am), giving us lower chance to see animals, and it was mainly because of bad organization around provisions of water, lunch food and other supplies. Also the driver/guide for the main parks was not much talkative so 'guiding' part of his job was definitely weak. Otherwise the service was as expected.
Tour itself: we happened to visit Serengeti right after a storm and experienced a fair amount of rain in general. Spotting animals in lush green and after rain is harder and we ended up not seeing lepards and a rhino only far away, which is unfortunate, but somewhat expected with the season. We saw a cheetah, plenty of lions, elephants and other animals which was nice. The large parks are touristy even during the wet season, so expect multiple jeeps lined up to observe one anamal - you get a feeling of a zoo, only that the cages are not there. We had the last few days of 'cultural' safari where we visited different tribes to observe their way of life - this was my favorite part! It felt way less touristy and rather authentic, we also had a couple of good guides for those days who were knowledgeable and with the bachground from those tribes, so we could learn a lot.
Enjoyed every minute
Salimu from safari tours africa arranged our safari. We worked a best route and accomodation for our stay and he made a good deal for us. The stay in serengeti was very enjoyable as you are staying literally with the wild life. The serengeti rest house was clean, large enough, comfatable bed, good dinner and breakfast.
We went to ngorongoro afterwards and amazing greenery, wild life, great experience. We stayed at marera lodge and this is a heaven on earth. Very nice grounds. Elegant large room and excellent service.
Last day was lake manyara, we came very close with elephant, giraffe, zebra, baboon, bushback …..
Our driver guide khalid was excellent, informative, supportive and friendly.
There was internet on the vehicle but reception was not good.
There were water, juice and tisue paper available at the vehicle.
The vehicle was in good condition, no problems.
The tour gave us masai cloth as a present
Overall very good experience

Really well organised, they pay attention to everything and everyone's needs.
While I am not the one who communicated with them as my aunt was the one who planned the trip what I gathered is that both the communication and value for money was good. The service was more than perfect, the safari and the other programs were incredible and really well organised. Don't worry about the food and meals as they were all really delicious and suited everyone's needs.
However I didn't like that a few of our guides (mostly the one on mount Meru) didn't share much information about the place.
Overall, in my opinion it's worth planning your trip through Safari Tours Africa, they will organise a fun and adventures trip.

Evere best family vacation with Safari Yours Africa
We booked our trip for July already in January. The offer was way attractive especially compared to other tour organizers. This was our second trip to Tanzania. We had a 3-day budget safari camping (Serengeti and Ngorongoro), a 2-day hike to Mt. Meru (night in Miriakamba hut) and a day trip to the hills of Kilimanjaro (Materuni Falls, coffee trip) and an unforgettable visit to Serval Wildlife Farm where we could feed and touch zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, monkies, and even real lions!
Salim and his team are amazing; well organized, friendly, flexible, patient but most importantly professional! Paul the chef deserves a Michelin star!
Camping in Serengeti (Nyani campsite) and on the rim of the Ngorongoro crater (Simba campsite) was a lifetime experience.
Thanks again for everything! You really made our summer! Hope to see you soon again!

Exceptional African Safari Experience (15 July to 26 July 2024)
We had an amazing safari experience in Tanzania, thanks to the exceptional service from Salimu and his team at Safari Tours Africa. Despite our short-notice request, Salimu, the owner, managed to help us arrange our itinerary according to our plans.
Salimu was incredibly reliable and responsive, addressing all our queries promptly and ensuring everything was perfectly arranged.
Ezekiel, our assigned guide during the safari, was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and terrain. His passion for the environment and keen eye for spotting animals made each game drive an exciting journey. He was also fun to be with, helpful in taking photos and videos, and a very good and careful driver.
We are also thankful to Salimu’s partner and friend, Suleiman, and his team for our tours in Zanzibar.
Overall, from the people and staff, accommodations, food, and activities, until we got home, we were very satisfied and happy with our Tanzania safari and beach experience.
We highly recommend Safari Tours Africa for a very memorable and exceptional safari experience.
