Reviews
One of the most spectacular trips I have ever done!
Communications to organise the itinerary and finalise the bookings, were prompt and efficient, and everything went according to plan during the trip which was absolutely fabulous. The guide's knowledge of all the tracks was remarkable and as a result we saw loads of birds and wildlife.

Great questions, spot on recommendations, go the extra mile service, precision execution! The best.
Our fabulous adventure on safari in the parks of Tanzania and towns and beaches of Zanzibar resulted from our finding Laura at Amazing Tanzania. She worked with us in arranging flights hotels, guides, safaris accommodations and transfers providing one-stop shop convenience. We just showed up and were thereafter in hands of this amazing group of hospitality and safari pros. In fact she provided us her personal binoculars without them we would have missed many fantastic Safari sightings.
Great personal service. We had numerous questions and changes in plans over the course of putting this trip together and Laura handled all graciously and professionally.
One could not have a better safari guide than Paul who had the warmest welcome upon arrival, biggest smile, the best eyes (for spotting game), in depth knowledge of the area - history, plants, culture, animals, tribes, etc. He made us feel great and loves what he does and it showed every minute.
We were looking for some authentic experiences and the accommodations we had provided this. All in historic or idyllic settings, excellent food, wonderful people with local history and color.
I highly recommend Amazing Tanzania when you are planning to visit this part of the world. Contact laura and see for yourself.

An amazingly well organized Safari operator.
We (a group of seven people) booked our safari via Amazing Tanzania.
From start to end everything went as smooth as smooth can be.
All communication was done in a very easy and personal way.
Clear answers to our questions, correct information and in the end everything turned out to be well above our expectations.
Great lodges, a wondful tented camp, with great staff and excellent food.
We felt like the cast of "Out of Africa"

Amazing animal sightings, lovely lodges, great people and the vast African landscape.
Laura at Amazing Tanzania put together an itinerary that was varied and designed to let us see as many animals as we could as well as to give us a real feel for Tanzania. Communication was easy and friendly. She answered our emails promptly and clearly. The trip fulfilled all of our expectations and more. Everything was extremely well organized and came off just a she had said it would. All of the places we stayed at were lovely, with very good service and food. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and amazing spotters. It was great to have them with us for the whole trip. Even the animals cooperated - we saw many awe-inspiring sights including great numbers of wildebeest on the move. We have returned with some fantastic memories of one of the best vacations we have ever had as well as lots of great photos. Karibu.

A most wonderfull experience, we would always choose Amazing Tanzania again and tell all friends!
From the very beginning on we always had the feeling that 'Amazing Tanzania' is a very professional organization with most dedicated people behind it - that not only want to earn money - eager to have their guests feel comfortable and see as much as possible of the amazing Tanzania! All the places we went to - Tarangire Safari Lodge, Ndutu Safari Lodge and the tented camp in the Salei plains etc. were excellent. All the tours we made with the very professional drivers were something we will never forget in our live. We will for sure be back one day and choose the same organisation! We will tell all our friends about this unique holiday.

The WOW factor...
Just returned from an amazing trip to northern Tanzania, organised by Amazing Tanzania, who, from the start, knew what we would like!
After a few e-mails the only thing that was needed was fine tuning!
The week of safari, on which we saw so many different species, and days at the coast were a dream.
Still don't want to wake up!
Photos, memories and stories make us ( a group of 8) realise what a great time we've all had.
The only thing Amazing Tanzania could not have taken care of, was the rains....it was because of these late rains this year that we could still see a big part of the migration.
The lodges were very good, their camp excellent...
All in all: WOW!
I need to do this again!

Amazing Experience!
We had a fantastic trip in the Serengeti courtesy of Laura and Colin. When organizing our trip, all of our questions were answered promptly and comprehensively and Laura was very helpful in terms of our itinerary. The camp where we stayed was of a high standard and was exactly what one would expect in the Serengeti. Our guide / driver (Gerald) was excellent - very knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure that we had a great experience. We'd unreservedly recommend Amazing Tanzania to anyone considering a Tanzanian safari.

An AMAZING safari with Amazing Tanzania!
From the initial email inquiry to the end of our safari, Amazing Tanzania made our trip such an amazing experience. Laura (one of the owners) was so accommodating and helpful, even when I surprised her with an additional, last-minute person who wanted to join the trip. What I loved best about the experience was how every place we went felt so special, and this is owed to the boutique, bespoke nature of Amazing Tanzania. Laura and her partner bring to the safari world years of first-hand knowledge, having grown up in the area. Therefore, every place we went and stayed was fused with this very intimate nature. They know all of the proprietors and the land like the back of their hand. We couldn't have asked for a more local experience. And for someone who wanted the real Africa experience, and not just some cookie-cutter, chain hotel tour, my expectations were exceeded far beyond my wildest imagination.
From the moment we arrived in Kilimanjaro, everything was taken care of. All we had to do was sit back, relax, take in the STUNNING scenery and enjoy. Amazing Tanzania works with only the best local guides, and ours (Paul) was so, so wonderful. This can't be overstated- the man is a legend in my book. The amount of knowledge he possesses and passed on to us was incredible. On top of that, Paul was a joy to be around- important when you're spending lots of time in the safari truck together :) We spotted all of the Big Five and were lucky to see the most incredible wildlife ever- a pride of over fifteen lions in the Ngorongoro Crater, lions mating in the Tarangire, giraffes scratching their bellies on short trees, baby elephants frolicking- the list goes on and on. After a few days in Tanzania we flew to Zanzibar for some beach time at Laura's suggestion. It was the perfect end to our safari- we loved spending a day in Stone Town and then heading to the east coast for some relaxation and beach fun.
The lodging and food far exceeded my expectations. Our lodging was so on point- such special places with the most welcoming staff I've ever experienced. The tented camp in the Tarangire was spectacular and should not be missed- what a view! Most of the food was sourced locally- from the lodge's own gardens and even the sea. It was so nice to return from being in the bush all day, to be greeted by friendly people and to relax with incredible food. At one of our lodges, Laura stopped by for a sundowner and a nice chat. I was so impressed by this- it speaks volumes to Amazing Tanzania's desire to connect with their customers.
Amazing Tanzania provided us with a seamless experience where all we had to do was show up and enjoy the ride. I will be forever grateful for this trip and all of the hard work they did for us and cannot recommend them enough. When I return to Africa, and I will as often as time allows, I will only do so with Amazing Tanzania!

Best agency I ever worked with
We planned our honeymoon vacation with Amazing Tanzania, being one week in Safari and one week in Zanzibar.
The planning made by Laura was excellent and fulfilled all our wishes. We even got some wedding specials from the hotels. All communication was very clear and fast.
Unfortunately, one month before the trip, we had to cancel due to health issues.
Once more, Laura was very helpful and got us a partial refund from the hotels, even though the downpayment was not refundable at all. She helped us to get the money back and didn´t charge us for anything.
I have to say, we expect this from friends, but I would never expect it from a travel agency.
I can´t wait until we are able again to do this dream trip and for me there is no other agency in Tanzania.
I recommend Amanzia Tanzania 100%.
Thank you Laura for all the help.
