Well arranged holiday to Zanzibar and safari in Tanzania.
We had a wonderful holiday which was organized by Afroriginal. All arranged accommodations were just perfect.
The service and communications were good. If there was any change, and there were some changes in flight schedules of the not so precise PrecisionAir, we were kept informed by Afroriginal.
We had a driver/guide who was not so talkative, however he knew very much about wildlife. So if we asked questions we got a lot of information from him.
The parcs, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, were absolutely stunning and very diverse.
All was absolutely living up to expectations.

We travelled with Afroriginal who perfectly helped us to plan the trip, where to go, where to stay.
The safari exceeded our expectations. It's hard to beat the wildlife, biodiversity, and expansive landscapes of Tanzania. Especially the wildlife in the Serenghetti and Ngorongoro was tremendous.
Our tour guide was perfect with good information and the cook was marvelous too.
And of course Zanzibar is a mandatory destination with her stunning sun sets and nice Stone Town.

Afroriginal Tours and Safaris
I have just returned from a 5 day safari with Afroiginal, Aug 2014 from arusha- lake manyra- Serengeti - ngoragoro crater - arusha for 2 people. Our driver/guide Fay was great, he knew so much about the country, environment and animals, he made us feel we were in safe hands the whole time. Fay has an amazing eye for spotting animals and his passion for his work was obvious.
We took the mid range option, staying in reasonable hotels and luxury tents which were all great. Food supplied was also fine.
My only criticisms would be not to take the night game drive as we didn't see much, although the experience was still good and also the time spent in the Serengeti- they are long days of very similar landscape (we were there 2 nights, 3 days). Although we were in the Serengeti and it was still amazing, it could have been improved by knowing where we were on the map and how far we were to travel to that day, although we could have asked, this was an after thought and we enjoyed the time regardless.
Arrangements were made via email with Desiriee who was very helpful, accommodative and gave great advice.
Overall, I would gladly recommend Afroiginal to anyone.

My Africa dream
We have an "Africa dream" and Afroriginal made it come true. Fay is a very great driver and guide and did his best to take us to the migration. He know so much about the animals and is very good at spotting them. Our cook, also gave us wonderful meals and very large portions. I would recommended Afroriginal for sure.

Great!
We had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfectly organized for a tailor-made tour exactly as we wanted, with quick e-mail contact and excellent suggestions. Our driver (Stewart) was laid-back and friendly, and very knowledgeable about the nature and animals. Most of all he had a remarkeable spotting ability, finding us everything we could wish for (he even managed to get very up close and personal with a huge male lion!). Abdullah was also an excellent, excellent cook and alltogether we felt the entire team took great care of us and was motivated to get us the very best experience.
Highly recommended!

Excellent!
We get great service from Afroriginal Tours and Safaris. We get quick respons to our questions by e-mail and good tips what to do. Everything Washington edelläni from the begining, during and after our journey.
We spend seven days trekking to Kiliminjaro, Lemonsho rout, whit John and his team. We get a lot of information about the nature and animals. The hole group was polite, freandly ready to help. We get geat meals, show good, during the journey! We knew that AMS can be dangerous and so it was. I had to turn back from 4800 m to camp. Pentti could continue to top and se the sunrise! We were lacky that We had a guide and an assistant quide with us. Last day the hole group snag and dance to us! Great!
After Kili we went for Safari for for days with Fay. We drove to Serengeti natiolapark, Norongoro and Norongoro crater. We saw big five, crocodiles, mangnust populations, hyenas etc. We got a lot information about ecosystem and wildlive. Fay was great to spot animilas. Without his help We could not see as much as we see. We spend our nights in lodges. First two nights was in KatiKati lodge in the middle of Serengeti. During the nights we could listen to animilas walking near the tent... We could also see great sunsets and sunrises. We could rest and enjoy evereting!
We get great value to our money. We will remember this journey the rest of our life.

Quite simply the best holiday we have ever had
We chose Afroriginal Tours from a number of operators having read and compared numerous reviews of the different companies and because of their swift and professional response to our initial enquiries.
We had been planning this holiday for many months and received great advice from Desiree on planning the safari and also the the holiday in Zanzibar at the end.
She was excellent in terms of answering our queries very quickly and also organised absolutely everything for us. She made everything so easy and it was a pleasure to meet her at the beginning of the trip.
Our guide Stewart was excellent and his knowledge of animals and birds as well as his spotting ability made this an unforgettable experience. We truly enjoyed his company.
We spent a full week on safari and stayed in various places all part of the Tanganyika Wilderness Camps. Every single place we stayed in was perfect from the Maramboi Camp,Tloma Lodge,Kati Kati Camp and finally Kitala Lodge. I would recommend these places to anyone.
Every day was different and we will all remember this holiday for a long time to come. Thank you very much Afroriginal Tours.

Kilimanjaro tour-Lemosho route
We had an excellent trip going up on mount Kilimanjaro. Beforehand good communications with Desiree, equipment checking done by our guides Jeromy and Samuel. Everything we had expected came true....sunny weather, rain, cold, ice. The tents were fine, food bij cook Alpha was surprisingly good and all the time we had the idea that our guides had everything under control. The summit attempt was great and in the end a wonderful spectacle: watching the sun rising on mount Kilimanjaro. Many thanks to Desiree and Fay. We can surely recommend Afroriginal Tours to everyone.

Great touroperator
We booked a safaritour with Afroriginal tours. The communicatie in advance was very good. They made a tour follwing our wishes, for a fair price. The safari was amazing (we went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater)!!! The guide was nice and knew a lot about nature. The cook was also ok. The total experience lived up to our expectations. Afroriginal tours is very helpfull, friendly and reliable. Everything was arranged and we had nothing to worry about during our holiday.
