Alex is an outstanding guide who turned each day into an adventure!
We had an unforgettable 12-day safari in Tanzania with our family. Our guide, Alex, was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the wildlife and nature made the experience truly special; you could tell this is his true passion. It was amazing how he could spot animals from a great distance and knew exactly when to stop so we could admire them. Sometimes we were driving fast, and then we’d suddenly stop because Alex had spotted something far away – incredible! We highly recommend this safari to everyone. Alex is an outstanding guide who turned each day into an adventure!

Best Experience EVER！
I recently had the privilege of embarking on a safari in Tanzania, and I can confidently say it was one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life. The breathtaking landscapes, the sheer abundance of wildlife, and the vibrant African culture left me speechless—but what truly elevated this trip to an unforgettable adventure was our exceptional guide, Alex. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands, and he exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
ALEX was not just a guide; he was a passionate storyteller, an encyclopedic source of knowledge, and a master at navigating the diverse terrains of Tanzania. His enthusiasm for the wildlife and environment was contagious, and he took the time to share insightful details about every animal we encountered, from the majestic lions lounging under acacia trees to the playful elephant herds at the watering holes. We were fortunate to see the "Big Five" early in the trip, and each sighting felt magical, thanks to ALEX’s expertise in tracking and understanding animal behavior.
But what made the experience even more special was his ability to cater to our interests and make the journey truly personal. Whether we wanted to pause longer to capture a sunset or learn about the migratory patterns of wildebeest, he was patient and accommodating, ensuring we got the most out of every moment. His deep respect for the natural world shone through in how he approached the animals—always maintaining a safe and respectful distance, while also providing us with front-row seats to some of the most remarkable scenes of wildlife in action.
Beyond his knowledge of the animals, Alex also shared fascinating insights into Tanzanian culture and history, making our trip feel even more enriching. He spoke of local customs, the Maasai people, and the importance of conservation efforts in the region, giving us a deeper appreciation of the interconnectedness of the environment and the people who call this land home.
What also impressed us was his keen eye for photography. He seemed to know exactly where to position the vehicle for the best lighting and angle, allowing us to capture stunning photos that will serve as lifelong memories. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for his job made us feel like we were on an adventure with a friend rather than just a guide.
The logistics of the trip were seamless, thanks to Alex. He always had everything well-prepared, from cool drinks during the heat of the day to knowing the best spots for lunch with spectacular views. We felt safe, cared for, and completely at ease throughout the entire safari.

Outstanding！
We learned about whistling travel from Xiaohongshu. There is a Chinese customer service, who responded promptly and patiently to help us adjust the itinerary step by step to select routes and hotels. Finally, Alex was arranged for us to start our 5-day safari trip as our guide. Alex is a very trustworthy guide, who answers all questions, is patient, and will meet every little request of ours. And! He is very humorous, and when he opens the car door for us, he will say "Princess, please get in the car!" He took us to see many rare animals, and I sincerely hope that they can become bigger and bigger! This trip to Tanzania brought me a great experience and deep feelings. I hope everyone can have fun too🥳PS: Tanzania is very safe, the people are very friendly, and the toilets are very clean! !

Exellent
2023 i travelled to Tanzania. Finding a good company for our safari was a bit challenge. After sending some emails to some of companies , whistling travel quick reply our mails. Me & my wife we had a lot of questions, Alex-Whistling Travel Tour Director answered all our questions. As we arrived in Tanzania Alex was there at Kilimanjaro Aiport waiting for us & he transferred us to hotel in Arusha. The next day we started our 4days safari. we visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. The last day we drove to Arusha airport for our flight to Zanzibar. I recommend Whistling Travel for anyone who need a safari in Tanzania !!!

A wonderful and amazing journey!
Choosing Whistling Travel was the best decision I made on this trip. For a Chinese like me who is not fluent in English, they arranged Chinese customer service to patiently answer all my questions and gave me the most satisfactory price and itinerary, Alex provided us with the most professional safari guide throughout the entire trip. Whistling Travel is undoubtedly one of the best safari teams!
This is a very professional tour operator that patiently answers our questions.
We went to Tanzania in May, and visited three national parks: tarangire,ngorongoro,serengeti. We saw many animals, including giraffe peepee, lions rest in the tree, and elephants only eat flowers on the ground. Is a very magical experience, i really like this palace, i will back in dry season!
