Amazing safari experiences!!! :)
Our guides (through Passionate Guides) David in the Kenya portion of our safari and Othman in our Tanzania part were beyond accommodating, generous, and welcoming! They know the parks like the back of their hand and all the best spots where the animals may be hiding. I learned so much about the animal behavior and characteristics through the guides and appreciated their knowledgeable and thorough commentary! Additionally, when we had questions about local currency, paying habits and amounts, and customs both of our guides were extremely helpful and clear! I can’t imagine a better experience that worked perfectly for me and my family. It was an unforgettable trip!

Excellent climb up Kilimanjaro - Lemosho route
Passionate Guides did a wonderful job leading us on a 8-day Lemosho route up Mount Kilimanjaro. Before departure, they made sure we had packed the right gear and along the way, they took great care to continually monitor how we were feeling to give us the best experience on the climb. Proud to say our group all successfully made it to the summit! Our guides Keddy and Florian were very knowledgeable about the mountain and Tanzanian history. They took time each night to share stories with us, give us a briefing of the next day, and answer any of our questions. The porters and staff were all incredibly kind and friendly. The food was tasty and filling for the climb, we were super impressed with what the chef could cook while on the mountain! For a first-time trip to Tanzania, we had a very welcoming and comfortable experience and absolutely will be recommending Passionate Guides to friends and family. Lemosho route is great for those who want to ensure a high chance of making it to the top of the mountain as you have a couple extra days in the middle for acclimatization to the elevation compared to other shorter routes. Summit night is a tough hike but our guides kept our spirits high and we were so grateful to get to celebrate with them at Uhuru peak! Thank you Passionate Guides!

Very professional, organized and friendly
We booked a 10 day private safari from Nairobi to Arusha. From the first time we had contact with Beatus and his team they were very quick to respond and always very helpful. They adapted the itinerary to our wishes and also gave us great tips about how to improve our plan due to the season.
Everything always went to plan and they did everything to accommodate us! Nothing was too much trouble for them. Even our delayed arrival in Nairobi due to changed flights.
Both guides, Robert in Kenya and Derek in Tanzania went above and beyond to make every day special and to make sure we see as many animals as possible! The tented camps and lodges were all very pleasing and the food tasty. We even got a cooked,warm lunch instead of only a picknick box like most of the other companies. All in all it was an experience we will never forget and we highly recommend Passionate Guides for your safari adventure!

True authentic experience with Passionate Guides Tanzania and Fahad photography!
I booked a 4-days northern Tanzania safari on my own at Passionate Guides due to limited time. I can highly recommend booking your safari trip at Passionate Guides, whether it be for short or long duration, whether it be solo or in (small) group. Furthermore I can highly recommend booking the photographer Fahad Fuad (https://www.fahadfuad.co.tz/) if you want nice and professional pictures. He is a true artist when it comes to wildlife and travel photography. It is not always easy to travel alone in a country you don’t know, and especially for this, Beatus the owner of PGT accompanied me during the whole trip and made sure I got a personalized, professional but warm treatment. This trip has been by far the best experience of my life in terms of booking with tour operators and I felt surrounded by family/friends rather than strangers. They live up to their name; which originated from feedback of clients. Booking with Passionate Guides is worth every single penny of your investment and if I could give one advice it is to book your trip as long as you can. If I can give another advice it is go for Fahad if you want the best pictures. They will listen to you, adapt to your needs and make sure you get the best experience and capture. I decided to listen to advice instead of starting the trip with a lot of demands and expectations and I would recommend this approach to anyone. Passionate Guides is not just there to organize and plan, but they have true expertise that will make you discover the highlights of your trip. If you want a true authentic experience instead of a commercial tourist trip, then go for PGT. Big warm thanks to all of the team who I consider family now.

A wonderful experience
My experience was wonderful. I was traveling alone and visited the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, as well as the National Parks of Lake Manyara and Tarangire. Not only was I able to enjoy the beauty of these ecosystems and their representative fauna and flora, but I also enjoyed excellent organization from this company. The guide was excellent, always attentive and on top of everything, very kind, and the organization was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Unforgetable experience
An incredible experience. We spent 7 days on safari with Passionate Guides Tanzania, as part of our honeymoon. We had the opportunity to visit different national parks such as Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater where we were able to see all types of animals including the so-called Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and rhinoceros). Our guide showed perfect knowledge of the parks and the best spots to see each of these precious animals. The organization was also perfect, adapted to our needs and requirements. The choice of lodges and tented camps was perfect. We also had the opportunity to visit different tribes as part of a cultural tour at Eyasi Lake, we experienced different ways of living and understanding life. Perfect to enjoy alone, as a couple, with friends or family. 100% recommendable!

Great experience!
We had a wonderful time together with the guide Othman and the company. Everything was organized very quickly, clearly and qualitatively. At the end of our safari we were surprised how quickly these ten days flew by. during this time we visited 5 national parks, see all the animals of the big five, relax in the best tent lodges in Tanzania. Many thanks to Mr. Beatus and Mr. Othman for an unforgettable experience!

Passionate Guides are more than just passionate, they’re exceptional from start to finish!
Beatus is a great guy to go with on safari. His knowledge is exceptional and his ability to spot wildlife is second to none. Beatus listens to what you want from your safari and makes sure you have the best experience.
He’s fun, safe, and great to spend days with as you travel across Tanzania.
Nothing was too much trouble and as a photographer he was great at ensuring the best angles and views.
If you go on safari with Beatus you won’t be disappointed, he’s the best!
