It couldn’t have been better
The contact we had by email was already reassuring. It is hard to know whether you have made the right choice thousands of Km away; but rest assured this it was! Not only did Danford adapt the program to our needs as a family also the choice of accommodation was flawless. We never expected to be lodged so beautifully and welcoming. The tents were like bungalows with proper beds and functioning bathroom. And the hotel was just amazing. We had the opportunity to see the big 5 multiple times and very close.
But the cherry on top of this trip was our lovely guide Gilbert; he was funny, has a great knowledge and sharp eye but more important because you have to spend 4 full days with him: a very easy going guy, flexible and good listener to our needs. He made this trip exceptional!
A big thank you to the team of Paws and Claws! Definitely can recommend their tours!

"Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Paws and Claws Tours!"
My friend and I had an amazing 3-day safari exploring Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater....and what an immaculate experience it was! A huge shout-out to Danford, the mastermind who flawlessly arranged everything for us. He’s truly a pro!
Our tour guide, Victor, was nothing short of incredible, his deep knowledge of the wild, charm, and generosity made every moment special. From majestic wildlife sightings to seamless organization, Paws and Claws Tours exceeded all expectations.
We’re already planning our next adventure and highly recommend Paws and Claws Tours for a magical and unforgettable safari experience!

Extraordinary Experience
This 7 day safari experience far exceeded my expectations!
Our driver, Philip, had an incredible depth of knowledge that added another level to our tour.
The days were full, we saw the big 5 and then some. Really just extraordinary!
I highly recommend this tour operator and would have no hesitation to use them again myself.

The perfect host
Paws and Claws of the super friendly and professional Danford has proven to be the perfect safari organiser for us, a dutch/ french family of 4 with kids of 13 and 16. Already the selling phase went very satisfying. Danford was responsive and wanted as much as we to come to a perfect program for us. Although the price was initially stated in USD we could pay directly in EUR for the offical international exchange rate which saved us several hundreds of EUROS on exchange fees (on average 10%). Once arrived in Tanzania he welcomed us personally and introduced us to our personal guide and driver Gilbert. Un even more important person for us of course because with him we had to be closely together for the coming days and he could make or break our adventure. And he did make it just perfect. Very intelligent, really pleasant company and funny, a good listener and explainer and the perfect nose for spotting the wild animals. We could see that he was loved by many of his colleagues and other personell of the camps we stayed in. So that would result for us in the best treatment and info as well. Gilbert thank you very much!
The safari was one great adventure. We spotted all of the possible animals including the very rare cheetah. And usually we had one of the best positions among the other cars to observe closely. The lodges and camps came up to our expectations or better. Especially the camps were you are in the middle of the wildlife and see and hear the animals just around you. There was wifi, for afican standards good food and cold beer.
Finally being a father and hushand you want a safari to be an adventure but a safe adventure. The most dangerous elements of a safari are the roads, the car and the driver. So you need a good car and a grown up driver that avoids all the unnecessay risks. And Gilbert showed to be by bringing us back savely and full of good memories. As I said in the beginning they were to perfect hosts and I definedly recommand them.

Very communicative, efficient and well organized.
Danford's planning and scheduling of our safari was absolutely convenient. He catered for the local transfers and costs, and his kind and explorative demeanor made the trip more relaxing. We got to try the local delicacy - the Azam ukwaju ice cream which offered much relief for a hot day. I highly recommend Paws and Claws Safaris.

An Unforgettable Experience
Our experience with Paws and Claws was truly fantastic! From the very first contact to the end of our trip, they did everything to ensure we had an unforgettable time. Everything was perfectly organized and tailored to our wishes.
Our driver was absolutely amazing! Not only did he have a keen eye for spotting wildlife, but he did so in a respectful and tactical way, always considering the well-being of the animals. On top of that, he had extensive knowledge about both the animals and the surrounding flora and fauna, which made our experience even more special.
This trip was a dream come true and exceeded all our expectations. Thanks to the professionalism, expertise, and passion of the Paws and Claws team, we will cherish these memories forever. We highly recommend booking your trip with Paws and Claws – an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime!

5-Star Safari Experience – Absolutely Unforgettable!
Our 8-day safari was an experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The communication before and during the trip was excellent, making us feel well-prepared and taken care of at all times.
Our guide was simply outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly skilled. He knew everything about the wildlife, the landscapes, and the culture, and his passion for nature was truly inspiring. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and at home throughout the journey.
One of the biggest highlights was spotting every single animal on our wishlist! From majestic lions to elusive leopards, we saw it all, thanks to our guide’s expertise and sharp eye.
The price-quality ratio was also fantastic. Every detail was well thought out, and the accommodations, food, and transport exceeded our expectations.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience, look no further. We highly recommend this trip and would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

The Best Safari Ever
We had an amazing three-day safari with our guide Philip. He did an amazing job and tried his hardest to make everybody’s wish come true. We saw many zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions and even a cheetah. The team made sure everybody was happy, safe and comfortable and the chef Benson filled us with delicious food enough for days. I can really recommend this company and can hopefully come back one day. Thank you to the team for an amazing safari!
