Reviews
Everything was perfect!
Our safari tour was exactly as outlined by Maturaf - the drivers were always ready and waiting when we arrived. The accommodations were wonderful and the food was excellent. We saw many animals in our short 3 day safari, and even managed the 'Big Five' on the first day! The travel plans were busy, but allowed us to see a lot of things in a short time span. When we were in Zanzibar, we were left to book our own tours, which was ok, but an additional cost to me. It would be nice if a couple of tours were included in the tour price. Otherwise, the service, tour and experience was top rate! Thank you! Asanti!

We got what we expected and a great deal more with Regional Tours, Maturaf and Emanuel.
The planning of our safari was thorough and gave us, as first timers, a safari as complete as I can imagine. Our driver/guide, Emanuel, was knowledgeable and had a real awareness of the animals we were hoping to see. He seemed to understand quickly that we wanted to really watch the animals in their home setting and not to just tick the sightings off a list. Emanuel's gentle guidance made our experience positive in all ways. We very much appreciate the fact that the three of us who went together were not joined by strangers. Apparently, some operators fill the vehicle to maximize the use of the car rather than focus on the individuals involved. We are grateful to have had the luxury of fewer people sharing the car, the driver/guide and the experience. Our accommodations were comfortable in all cases and luxurious in some. We can highly recommend Regional Tours with the caution that initial communication may be slow. Once we were on the ground in Africa, the communication was efficient and very much up to our level of comfort. Thanks to Maturaf and Emanuel, we will safari again. I would note that we especially liked the lodges and tent camps that had accommodations for our guide on the premises. Please note, Emanuel washed the car thoroughly virtually every day. His attention was very much appreciated.

We are a family of five and it was truly memorable and special holiday. Everyrhing was excellent!
Right from the time we asked for a itinerary our experience was great. Maturaf was helpful, listened to what we wanted and accommodating. Our guide on safari was superb very knowledgable and well spoken he ensured our safari experience was superb. The lodges were fabulous, the surprisingly good. We had 9 days in Tanzania followed by a beach holiday in Zanzibar including a day in stone town. We loved it and regional tours took all the hassle out of our trip. We would highly recommend them and if you can Arun to guide you even better.

world-class experience of safari tour in Africa
We stopped at regionaltours-office asking for a last-minute quotation for safari tour.
Welcomed by a very-friendly agent named Maturaff, we received a very professional offer and honest service with regards to our different safari experience options. The service and support as well as all the stories about the wildlife and animals was excellent throughout the whole journey. A special thanks! goes to the chef, who had known how to please our stomaches. We can highly recommend a safari booking with regional tours!
Thanks again.

amazing safari
We had an amazing trip with this company. Pricing was competitive, our itinerary was completely personalised (response times from Maturaf were extremely quick). We stayed in amazing accommodation. However most importantly we had the best guide. Ask for Ewa. He showed us everything. We saw three different animals mating. And two 'near kills' - one cheetah and one lion. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. Thoroughly endorse Regional tours and safaris - get your trip booked you won't regret it

Amazing experience and fantastic service
Just back from a mid-range Safari and Zanzibar tour with Regional Tours which is a local company. Maturaf was really helpful and his responses were timely. The price was not over the top for the tour that we got. The accommodations and food were fantastic. Emmanuel, our guide, was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, birds and parks. He has the best vision and pointed out things that we could until we got the binoculars out. He went out of the way to ensure that we had the best trip and also suggested changes to the itinerary to maximize our time. Thank you!! We had the best time.

fantastic once in a lifetime trip
communication brilliant throughout the organisation and booking process. once deposit paid less communication but no problem as all was booked. tour was well organised and the actual guys on the ground in Arusha /Kilimanjaro were fantastic and they rearranged a few things to make the trip run even smoother . Great time of year to go saw all we wanted and great interaction with local tribes . Accommodation was outstanding and well organised with what we had arranged, great glamping!(posh tented accom) even with the close night live making a few interesting tales. Fantastic overall trip would recommended this company as they seemed to be reasonable priced for a great small group . Note need to remember to add tipping costs.

Wow, what an excellent adventure!
We took the nine day Big Five tour with a stop in the Zanzibar Islands (Beach & Stone Town). First off, all of our arrangements were first rate, everyone was on time there to meet us at every stop as promised, very pleasant and easy to deal with. We requested and were lucky to get Emmanuel as our guide and driver. He was outstanding, great work ethic and genuinely caring person. Not only did we see the big five, we saw just about every animal you could imagine, Leopards, Hyenas, Cheetahs, Hippos, Crocs, Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Gazelles, Baboons.....I could go on. Emmanuel knows where to be and when to be there and we caught some rare sightings, we came across a family of cheetah (we were very close), big prides of lions, so close that a large lioness, rested in the shade of our vehicle. We caught a couple of leopards (one youngster) feeding on a carcass that they had dragged up a tree. We even got to see a pair of lions matting (apparently very rare).
We actually spent two nights in a tent camp in the middle of the Serengeti...how crazy is that. Anyway, we never felt in danger although we could hear a hyena yelping all night. I wish we could post pictures. We have such great pictures that our friends think we cut them out of a National Geographic magazine. We are fairly well traveled but this was truly the trip of a lifetime. We then flew from the Serengeti to Zanzibar for some beach time. The resort was clean and provided great service. We met Maturaf at his office in Zanzibar and he was very friendly and welcoming. If you want to get in touch with him after you paid the deposit, best bet is to call instead of email.
Regional Tours significantly exceeded our expectations as everything was as promised, actually better than promised. Our guide, Emmanuel, was absolutely top notch. Thanks Maturaf, Emmanuel and Regional Tours for the best vacation yet!
