Unforgettable Northern Circuit Safari
Our safari with Regional Tours was incredible. We had a 5 day private safari, incorporating Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. Our guide, Haroun, was wonderful and was very knowledgeable. He was always happy and friendly, and made a real effort to ensure we got to see all the things we hoped for.
The accomodation throughout the safari was excellent, and so was the food!
I would recommend Regional Tours to anybody looking to book a Tanzanian Safari. It really was the holiday of a lifetime and we loved every minute of it!

Wonderful safari, saw all the animals, most caring guide, fabulous beach and stay in Zanzibar!
We did the 13-day Authentic Tanzania & Legends of Zanzibar tour, and loved it!!! Our guide and driver, Nova, was the best, he found every animal we wanted to see including lions mating, lion cubs, leopard cub, hippos playing, and the big 5. Being so close to the animals was simply amazing. We had a very authentic stay at the Maasai Village. Nova went out of his way to show us everything we asked for including a few local villages and a coffee plantation. He helped us change our lodging for 1 night to accommodate us and make the most out of our Safari. The Kati Kati tent camp was wonderful, as was Tloma lodge. We were not so fond of the day in stone town, very dirty and unpleasant smelling. Another great driver in Zanzibar, Omar. Had a great time at the spice farm tour that was set up for us. Villa Kiva was an amazing place with soft white sand beaches and caring staff. I really can't say enough how amazing this experience was. If you are thinking of booking this trip, you should, it is worth it!!!

All in all great organization and a wonderful Safari
The communication with Maturaf the owner was good in advance (sometimes he did not answer very fast, but all in all he came back to all our questions and we had the feeling that he is taking care of our needs).
Our driver and guide in Tansania - Novatius - was very kind and we where totally happy with the Safari he did with us. Sometimes we had the feeling that it is not possible to do the trip excatly how it was promised before, because there are restrictions regarding the time you are allowed to stay in each national park so our guide had to change the program a little bit in order to make us see all the national parks that have been promised. But he did a great job to make us happy and in the end there there is nothing we could complain about, anyway.
Thank you Maturaf and thank you Novatius for this special experience!

FANTASTIC SAFARI IN TANZANIA
FANTASTIC SAFARI IN TANZANIA
I highly recommend the services of Regional Tours & Safaris. I had been doing research on tour companies and had almost overlooked the initial response from them. When I followed up by email, Maturaf called and WhatsApp me to find out more about what I was interested in so that he could make the right recommendations We choose the itineray “5 DAY MAGICAL TANZANIA MANYARA NGORONGORO SERENGETI from his website. We had several conversations and adjusted the itinerary and lodging according to our interests. I felt very comfortable that things would work out and they did - perfectly. Everything went very smoothly. The driver guide NOVA was a superb guide, easy to be with and able to spot animals at a distance. Maturaf discussed each of the lodging choices so that I felt comfortable with his recommendations. I truly appreciated the private safari as we spent much more time in the parks and did not need to return to the lodges for lunches. Instead we took box lunches (not particularly a fan of them but we preferred this to wasting time to get to the lodge, eat, and return to game drives). I did do some comparison shopping and felt the cost was reasonable. As this was a fairly expensive trip for us, I did take out travel insurance which I am happy to say we did not need.
I don't think you can go wrong by selecting Regional Tours & Safaris for your safari in Tanzania.

Amazing Honeymoon in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar Island
My husband and I spent 9 days with Regional Tours & Safaris and we had an incredible time Novatius as a driver guide all around Tanzania. He is so knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely loves his job. While nature is nature and you can't be guaranteed to see "everything", Novatius made a huge effort to show us every animal we wanted to see, and as a result we were lucky to catch unique moments like the great wildebeest migration! He was so patient and would let us watch animals for as long as we wanted - at no point did we feel rushed to move on.
When planning the trip, Maturaf at the office was incredibly patient and helpful, answering our million questions and willing to adapt the itinerary to our needs and budget. In the end he designed the perfect trip for us that included 7 days on Luxury Tented camp safari and 4 days in Zanzibar. It made our honeymoon effortless!
I'd highly recommend planning your safari with Augustine. You will not only learn a lot about Tanzanian wildlife, but you will leave with a friend for life!

Great Safari
On our 7 day safari with Regional Tours in November we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. Our guide Harun did a great job and we had a great safari. We saw a great number of animals. All the accomodations were excellent. The best one was in Serengeti (Kubu Kubu lodge) where we could watch wild animals right from our balcony. During the night we could hear a lion, hyennas and buffalos. An unforgettable experience.

Unforgettable experience
With Regional tours and safari's you get what you pay for and then some. We had an incredible safari experience thanks to our driver John who was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating and made sure we saw the big 5! All the places we stayed at were clean and comfortable with very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was great! All in all a top notch experience.

A Tremendous Experience
In August 2013, my wife and I enjoyed a 13 day journey with Regional Tours and Safaris, which I would highly Recommend. We travelled from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro to the Central and North Serengeti and then flew from Arusha to Zanzibar and after a day in Stonetown stayed at the Zanzibar Retreat hotel in Matemwe. It was the best vacation of our lives. Maturaf (in Zanzibar) and Alex (in Arusha office) were very helpful and all of the pickups and arrangements worked perfectly. Our guide Amani was a lovely man, a great driver and had remarkable vision and knowledge for viewing wildlife. We saw incredible numbers of zebra, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, and lions and the odd leopard and cheetah. The accommodation was very comfortable and at times luxurious even in the bush of the north Serengeti. We would recommend that rather than backtracking by road to Arusha or Zanzibar, that you fly from the Seregeti and thereby save a day or two and a lot of mileage. Matemwe beach was a long white powder beach that seemed deserted at times and was great for long walks and swimming at high tide with great snorkling/scuba diving nearby. Regional Tours was priced reasonably compared to other companies who used the same land cruisers, provided the same food and accommodation and covered the same routes. I would highly recommend them.
