Truly amazing!
This company lives up to its expectations: Great service, very detail itinerary, no hidden costs and very friendly crew. The guide had a well maintained and comfortable car and more important, he has a very keen eye to spot the animals. We were always the first to arrive where other guides just drove on (lions, cheetahs).
Other tourists complained about extra costs (fuel or park fees), this company is all-inn (well, obviously not the drinks at the bar), so prices might seem a bit steep but they aren't! I can recommend this company to anyone.
Best Guide, wonderful camp, great organisation
Personal contact, good recommendation. Will ask them next time again .

An unforgettable safari experience with Amazing Tanzania
We went on safari with Amazing Tanzania last year . We wanted to visit the Tarangire national park and contacted Amazing Tanzania. They were very flexible and communication was very efficient and friendly. The safari tour and stay at Tarangire national park was perfect, Laura and Colin had made sure we had a great safari experience. The service was excellent, very good food and we very much enjoyed the whole trip. It was beyond our expectations and we are looking forward to return to Tanzania and do another safari tour with Amazing Tanzania. We would recommend Amazing Tanzania to everyone who is looking for great service, flexibility, and an excellent safari tour in Tanzania!

Everything you would want - and more
We booked a short safari of three nights with Amazing Tanzania, staying over in Tarangire Safari Lodge and 2 nights in Karatu. We visited beautiful Tarangire National Park for two game drives, and spent an awesome day in the Ngorongoro crater. Our guide Paul was very knowledgeable, humorous, service oriented and spoke perfect english. From the moment of getting the quote and booking, up until the end of the safari, communication with Laura of Amazing Tanzania has been excellent, and also meeting her and Colin and enjoying their hospitality proved to be of high added value; when travelling Tanzania it's really refreshing and interesting to hear about the experiences of these great two people who enjoyed both the Western and African lifestyle. I definitely recommend using their services!

Respectful & knowledgeable
Amazing Tanzania really made the difference in our safari experience. They arranged everything from the guide and transport to the lodges and permits- and there are NO hidden costs. The difference with other companies really becomes visible when you see them together. Our guide/driver knew a lot about the ecology and organisms there, and he'd rather explain something about them rather than trying to run them over to get the front seat as some other guides appallingly did. The lodges picked by Amazing Tanzania were also top-notch, with epic views and relaxed vibes. I really recommend them!

Since 2012 I have always been impressed by the hospitality of Amazing Tanzania
Since 2012 I have booked my safaris with Amazing Tanzania every year to my absolute satisfaction. I am impressed by their efficiency combined with kind hospitality.
I let them know what I would like to do, and they give me excellent advice. They book my inland flights and different lodges. I can count on their recommendations and efficient service.
Every year I spend a few days at their camp in Salei. The staff is kind, the tents are spacious and the food is excellent - what more do you want. The tours are well organized, there is something for everybody. After walking safaris or a days drive to the Rift relax around the camp fire to enjoy the silence under the wonderful star studded sky with Oldoynio Lengai in the distance.
Laura and Colin are excellent hosts, in short I can only recommend 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.

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!

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.
