Amazing Tanzania delivered with stupendous events and first rate care
Amazing Tanzania was top drawer from start to finish. Laura gave us an excellent itinerary, dovetailing game drives and cultural contacts. We saw stunning animals in real life, met with groups from several tribes (enjoyed detailed, subtle and sometimes hilarious conversations about life and customs), and reaped the benefits of our master guide, Paul Panga. Paul could identify everything we saw - he knows the science and the nature of the plants, animals, and minerals that we observed. He 'saw it happening' long before we did and got us to the center of the action on our game drives. His multi-cultural sensitivity was most comforting. And his bush driving skills in all conditions, are now for me, legendary. Our accommodations were flawless. The food was amazingly delicious. My dietary restrictions were beautifully met --> more than once my special dishes caught the envy of my travel mates. Cannot recommend Amazing Tanzania, Laura & Colin highly enough.

Great Organization & Fantastic Guide
Amazing Tanzania proved to be the right choice for going on relaxed safari holidays with family, friends & kids!
Taking our individual ideas, giving experienced feedback, the right mix of total flexibility towards travelers' wishes on the one hand and guidance/suggestions (e.g. for choice of hotels & airlines) on the other hand!
I big thanks not only to Laura but also to our fantastic driver and guide Alan, I had not expected to have such a good driver AND guide in one person, and I am saying this with a lot of Africa-travel experience!

Excellent personalised safari, well organised and communicated
I was very happy with the service provided by Amazing Tanzania. I got quick replies to my emails with plenty of information, and a nice itenary was made and adjusted according to our wishes. Although a safari costs a lot of money I really feel that we got value for money. The safari guide that Amazing Tanzania arranged for us was very nice and professional. He really took his time to explain us a lot about (the behavior of) the animals, and gave us plenty of time (and even tips) to take pictures whenever we wanted. We spotted a great variety of animal species. I was especially impressed by the Tarangire National Park, with all it's elephants.

Most Amazing safari trip in the Serengeti.
We spent a fantastic 13 days in Northern Tanzania , a private trip organised by Amazing Tanzania to suit our family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 kids 9 and 10 yrs old)
We drove in our private jeep with driver/guide from Kilimanjaro airport via Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro to Ndutu lodge in the south of the Serengeti, where we spent a few fabulous days . One of the many highlights being the close following of a cheetah and her 3 clubs for more than An hour.Amazing!
From Ndutu we drove through the Serengeti to Amazing Tanzania's private tented camp at the foot of Ol Doinyo Lengai.A beautifull drive through An Amazing landscape, made close contact with 4 hyena's who had just caught An antelope.
The tented camp was the best , beautifull location, excellent accomodation , excellent service, awesome food, great guiding and social contact with the Masai guides. This was An unforgettable experience, straight from the movie "Out of Africa" . A once in a lifetime experience , far away from the beaten path.
We stayed a few days in the camp , doing a few drives in the area and did some memorable hikes with our Masai guides.
Our final drive through the beautifull Rift valley took us to Arusha from where we flew to Zanzibar to relax a few days at a great lodge On the ocean front, also arranged by Amazing Tanzania. Couldn't have chosen anything better!
Thanks Laura and Colin for this best ever trip through what we Can now describe as one of the most beautifull places in Afrika!
Thanks also to our Fantastic driver/ guide Ibbra , and our Masai guides and staff at the tented camp!
We hope to be back soon!

awesome
Our visit to the national parks of northern Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangiri) was a great experience, and doing so with Amazing Tanzania was awesome. The lodgings were perfect, the food was first rate, and Paul our driver was the best! Can't say enough good things about the staff all along the way ... we're not accustomed to such attentive service! And Laura and Colin kept it all moving like clockwork. Would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

A fabulous adventure.
Laura and Colin and their crew at Amazing Tanzania provided an exceptional safari experience. Laura was wonderful to work with and through minimal communications was able to custom fit our desires with cost constraints and created a safari package that provided an experience that far exceeded our expectations. They took great care of us from the moment we arrived to our departure 11 days later. The guides were outstanding and were extremely knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. Each day was a new adventure and we saw much more in terms of wildlife, landscapes and Tanzanian culture than we had ever imagined possible. The accommodations and food exceeded our expectations and their tented camp was first rate. Their crew was exceptional and they did everything to ensure that we were well cared for during our stay. Overall, Amazing Tanzania did a fantastic job in putting together a custom safari for our group that more than exceeded our expectations.

Exceptional
Laura was amazing. I had a plan to a photograph Safari, but thank's God to find Laura. She changed my plans and because of this We made the best Safari possible. Those were the best pictures I have made in a photographic trip. Our guide was Jombi, more than a guide, he is now a friend. This guy was increadible. I plan to return, but only with Laura and Jombi.

The fabulous team of Amazing Tanzania provided great guides, great accommodation & an amazing safari
We gave Laura a basic brief of what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go on a mid-range budget and she came back to us with an itinerary that ticked all the boxes and more. She even managed to arrange a stay in some luxury accommodation at a mid-range price! We saw a vast array of wildlife, including many predators and kills and many elusive species thanks to our expert guides. We were also lucky enough to see the wildebeest crossing at the Mara River in Northern Serengeti. The owners of Amazing Tanzania; Laura and Colin caught up with us during our stay in Tanzania and made us feel like old friends. Throughout our stay we had 3 Tanzanian guides Paul, Josepha and Apollo; they were each knowledgeable, informative, friendly and were all passionate about wildlife. We spent the first section of our trip with Paul and it was like saying goodbye to family when we had to leave. We loved every lodge and camp site we stayed at (Laura's expert choices), each one was very comfortable and had a wonderful ambiance with great views and close proximity to wildlife. When we return to Tanzania we will only travel with 'Amazing Tanzania', we can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for a fabulous holiday of a life time :)
