Great experience with Time 4 Africa!
4/5

We found this Safari Agency through the suggestion of the Manager of our hotel in Dar Es Salaam, as we were interested in organizing a last-minute three-days safari in the Mikumi Park. In less than one hour, our private safari was settled! What a great experience! Our guide was really nice and helpful, the accommodation was comfortable and really close to the park and the safari was perfect! Even though we had a flat tire the guide immediately solved the problem with no time loss for our trip. Beautiful safari with a great company!

Amazing Experience
5/5

I recently booked a safari with Time 4 Africa with my friends from Dar Es Salaam to Arusha and finally to Zanzibar. The experience was better than I had expected. The entire team are extremely professional, kind hearted, reliable and efficient and I cannot thank them enough for making this a very memorable experience for me and my friends. Good job guys...!!

Amazing Experience
5/5

My dreams were fulfilled by the time I completed my trip to Tanzania.. Time 4 Afrika made sure I received everything I expected and there was never a moment that I did not feel comfortable working with them. They are extremely professional in how they deal with their clients and with the products they deliver. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has any plans of traveling to Tanzania. Great job guys..!!!!!!

Without a doubt the WORST tour operator ever
1/5

Ernest (the contact person) for Time 4 Afrika rarely, if ever answered his phone or responded to emails. Before arriving in Tanzania we were told that all hotel bookings and the itinerary were confirmed, yet upon arrival at our first hotel, no booking had been made. The next morning, we met with a sub-contracted tour operator of Time 4 Afrika who then explained to us that nothing in terms of hotel or itinerary had been booked. Consequently, we were not able to stay at any of the hotels are stated in the contract. Further, Ernest refused to forward payments to the safari tour operator in a timely manner. As such, we were LITERALLY kicked out of our Serengenti hotel one night, and had to spend the night in the park rangers office!! Ernest never came to meet us in either Arusha or Zanzibar, and still has yet to pay the hotel in Zanzibar!! On top of all of this, he has the audacity to ask for more money even though he has not honored a single term of the contract! I have been in contact with the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators, as well as other government departments to try to make sure that Ernest Mangela and Time 4 Afrika never operate another tour again! I advise you to PLEASE not use this tour operator under any circumstances.

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for your negative review , but i spoke to you when in Arusha and we agreed that you are doing own arrangement with the other tour operator and they took over your safari so Time 4 Afrika didnt take you on safari,as you did everything last minute and we informed you about the hotels availability, you even instructed me to send the money to the tour operator in Arusha and i did ,and i told you the deposit you paid was for your accomodation in Zanzibar yet you insisted that i send the money and so the deposit left with us was not enough to pay for your Zanzibar hotel, i even saved you after i spoke to the hotel in Zanzibar i told them to allow you to check out without payment then you will come to our office to settle the difference and you decided not to come , everyday i send you emails to remind you to send the pending payment but you don't reply ,to be honest we have never had such a client as you before , please send us what you are supposed to pay as we are not responsible to pay for your holiday.
Ernest

Fraud!
1/5

Please do not book any thing with this company, I am a tourist who was stolen by the guy who run this company named Ernest Magesa, he said he will give us a Safari and when we transferred the money to his bank he disappeared and he did not give us anything, I call him to give the money back 2400 $ and he never did since last July, we informed the Tanzanian Police and Tourism Authorities and they promised they will take action, DONT USE THIS COMPANY YOU WILL BE STOLEN ! Safari Bookings already put a warning about it
