The journey of our lives.
Our trip started a year ago. We wanted to go on safari in januari 2017 with our family as a celebration for our 35 years of marriage. On the internet I came in contact with Desiree de Ridder. I explained what we thought we wanted and she planned the whole safari and the time in Zanizibar. I must say she did iT the perfectly.
IT was beyond our expectations. The safari Tour was Every day different, because of the different Parks, accomodations. The service was outstanding. We had to guides, drivers Fay and Steward. The told us a lot About the wildlife, Masai , nature. The have done everything to make our journey onforgettable.
After the safari we went to Zanzibar. We visites Stone Town very impressie and Desiree booked US in the Coffehouse. A perfect hotel with great service and with a nice roofterrace to have your breakfast.
The day after we went to Mwezi boutique resort. On the wat we had a spicetour, which was very educational. We bought spices there. The Mwezi boutique Resort is fantastic, your own Beach house, view on the sea and beach. A perfect place to enjoy the last days of your holiday. Desiree, Fay and Steward Thanks a lot for the special trip.

Excellent safari
Based on what we wanted, in a short time and for a good price Afroriginal tours has arranged everything very smoothly! Very luxurious to be just with you own party and accompanied by a very good guide and chef. :) We had fun and a very relaxed safari due to the arrangement of Afroriginal tours! Much thanks too Desiree!
We have been on a canoe safari, horse back riding (day1) and had game drives in Tarangire National Park (I recommend this for the elephants lovers!), Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater (beautiful and we saw the rhino with baby!). We also did the night game drive which is very interesting for different animals! Desiree can give you a good program to your needs and wants! Outside the high season you are alone in the parks! :)
Thank you Desiree for arranging it for us!
Afroriginal excellent partner
This was the 2nd time Afroriginal organized a safari for me and again: it was great! Accommodation at the various parks were beyond expectation. Desiree and Fay, thank you very much, my compliments! I can recommend anyone to go with Afroriginal to Tanzania. It will be an unforgettable experience!

We're looking back on a wonderful holiday in Tanzania, organised by Afroriginal Tours
We visited West Kilimanjaro staying at Simba Farm first just to relax after our arrival, and what a warm welcome this was! Set between Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru with beautiful views, wonderful fresh meals and the people went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay.
Afterwards we went on Safari to Lake Manyara for 2 days and stayed at a very comfortable camp, set in a beautiful location with all the comfort you wished for. We saw a lot of wildlife and our guide Fay was an excellent driver and shared a lot of knowledge about animals, trees, birds etc. We also did a treetop walk, high up in the canopy of Manyara's Forest, which gives you another new experience!
We continued to South Serengeti and again saw a lot of wildlife, zebra's and wildebeests, hyena's, all types of gazelle, giraffes and the flamingo's at Lake Ndutu. Even a leopard lying in a tree with a herd of grazing elephants right underneath! One of our highlights was the balloon safari we did in Serengeti, an unforgettable journey indeed, after the flight we were treated to a breakfast set up in the middle of the bush. In the end we flew back to Arusha to relax for a few days before returning home.
So our experience with Afroriginal is very positive indeed, they listen carefully to your needs and make sure the itinerary fits you perfectly. Thanks to Desiree and Fay for giving us an extraordinary experience which we will remember forever!

Fantastic experience from start to finish.
We travelled through the Ngorongoro Conservation area including into the crater, plus a trip to Oldupai Gorge. The tour guide, Faye, was extremely knowledgeable about the geography, wildlife and flora & this was incredibly helpful to our enjoyment and understanding. He was also very patient and gave us plenty of time to sit quietly watching animals and birds and to take photographs. There was never a sense of being rushed before we were ready to leave. The whole trip was a very special and moving experience and one we'll never forget.

Breathtaking safari holiday in Tanzania!
Perfectly organized Safari by Desiree de Ridder. She organized a stunning trip through Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Desiree sent the full program with detailed information about the Parks and the accomodation by mail, it was all very well planned. The accomodations were beautiful, the people were very helpful and friendly and the locations were stunning. We had the entire trip the same guide, Stewart, what I really appreciated. Apart from being a very safe driver, Stewart also had eagle eyes and spotted every animal and he knew so much about them, we learned a lot. Moreover, he was very pleasant company with a good sense of humor. We had great weather, not too hot and not too cold and there were not a lot of other tourists. Lions, cheetahs etc. just walked so close to our car, it was amazing. It was an unforgettable holiday for me and my two children in which we saw the big five and many, many other animals. I would highly recommend to book a safari with Desiree and Stewart of Afroriginal Tours and Safaris to all of my friends.

Our expectations exceeded
Afroriginal Tours and Safaris organised our first 8-day safari-trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro-crater.
We (family of 4) got a very spacious 6-p landcruiser with a very good, kind and safe driver/guide (thank you Moses!). Accomodation varied between tented camp and more luxurious permanent lodges. But all were better than we could hope for. Even at the remotest place, staff will do their utmost to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We saw hundreds of elephants, lions, zebras and wildebeast and many, many other animals including leopards, cheetas, black cobra and serval. What an experience!

Wonderful Safari with LOTS of animals and very caring driver
We, as a family of 5, went on a 6 day safari and visited the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti National Park, lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park.
* The accommodation was very good. We slept in tented camps in the parks and hotels close to the parks. We always had very good service and food over there and good and clean rooms/ tents to sleep in.
* Our guide (Faye) was very caring. He showed us lots of animals, could answer all our questions about the wild animals and gave us a lot of information himself too. On most days he drove us around in the parks until 7pm and always waited for us to admire the wildlife.
* We saw a lot of animals, including all the animals of the big 5 and even a leopard and some cheetahs!
* 6 days was a perfect amount of time for us, long enough to make sure we saw as much as possible, but still short enough not to get all too tired of the spotting.
We are all very happy about this wonderful experience and would strongly recommend it to other people! (couples as well as people by themselves as well as families with children that are not very young)

Afroriginal made my dream come true!
We had the most wonderful and exciting holiday and safari organized by Desiree from Afroriginal Tours! From the first email contact, Desiree was very responsive and creative and proposed different options for our route and she created our own holiday-website. The holiday and safari itself exceeded my expectations! Perfect route and lodges, everything organized in detail with Fay as our great guide. Thank you so much for making my dream come true!

Excellent!
We had an incredible trip and Afroriginal made the dream of my father come true. I wanted to give him an unforgettable experience but barely knew where to start. Through a colleague I heard about Afroriginal and with all the enthusiastic stories and marvelous pictures I contacted them to see what was possible for us. After various emailing, my numerous questions (which were all answered) they designed a tailor made program which included all our wishes in terms of accommodation, time and budget. Going into Serengeti and staying in a Tented Camp was most impressive, you're in the middle of the nature and we felt being a guest of the wildlife. Afroriginal enriched our lives with all the beauty Tanzania offered. Fay as a guide was amazing, he took up the daily challenge to surprise us with the most beautiful landscapes and variety of animals. It's impossible to describe the feeling, you just have to experience it yourself. Next time I'll put my trust in Afroriginal again easily, they are reliable, flexible and willing to think along with you. I can definitely recommend Afroriginal to everybody who wants to have a trip which stays with you for a lifetime.
