Well organized, brilliant guide, lived up to our very high expectations
This was a fantastic trip and we relied totally on Amazing Tanzania to choose our accommodation and our route. The accommodation selected was first rate, with excellent rooms and service. Our guide was absolutely brilliant and amazed us with his ability to spot wildlife long before we could. He was very knowledgeable and knew just where to go to find the wildlife. Amazing Tanzania made sure everything went like clockwork, even down to coming to our first night's accommodation to check everything was OK. Would definitely use them again.

A trip well organized, well tailor made to our family needs
The trip was well organized and took into account our family needs in particular the fact that we had children with us. What was particularly appreciated is that ATI holidays double checked all reservations one week before our arrival, which could guarantee holidays without bad surprises.

Best trip ever!
Our trip to Tanzania is one i will never forget. Amazing Tanzania, helped guide us on what we wanted to do during our trip, gave us great tips and organized an absolutely wonderful trip for us. Once we were in Tanzania, we did not have to worry about anything, as everything was perfectly arranged. I would absolutely recommend Amazing Tanzania, as you will get a tailor made trip based on what you want and what your budget allows. Thank you Amazing Tanzania!

An exciting & thrilling honeymoon that had the perfect mix of luxury and adventure.
From the start of our planning process to follow up after the trip Ati Holidays were superb, listening to what we wanted from our trip and crafting a personalised itinerary. Nothing was too much trouble and we could ask any questions and make any requests from vehicle preferences to restaurant bookings. Ati's attention to detail secured us some of the best pitches on campsites, honeymoon suits as well as the best tables in busy restaurants. The campsites and lodges selected by Ati were all of a very high standard, well selected and all with a personal touch. There were plenty of options to suit our budget, when we wanted to splurge or cut back. We received lots of information before the trip to allow us to prepare and the trip booklet with maps and information that we received before departure guided us through every stage of the journey with details and advice. Ati recommended excellent activities and tours to us during the trip, as well as advising against some things based on their in depth knowledge. When we had a problem during the trip Ati sorted it out immediately and it was reassuring to know they were always at the end of the phone. One of the best holidays I have every taken and as a honeymoon it was a wonderful, stress free experience. We would recommend Ati 100% and have already started booking our next trip with them!

A fantastic tour by air to all corners of Namibia
The service we got from Ati holidays was first class, from our initial inquiry to meeting the staff in Windhoek on arrival. All lodges chosen were superb, and we saw more kinds of wildlife than on any previous African safari. It was good to have an emergency phone to contact the company while we were there, and also to access the office on a freephone line from the UK, as well as email. All transport worked beautifully and going by air allowed us to spend longer at each destination and to go to the far north and south of the country. All in all a fantastic trip that far exceeded our expectations.

Travelling to Namibia for the last 25 years, this safari was an absolute highlight!
What impressed us most, was the unique wildlife and the unspoiled nature in the Chobe National Park. Camping facilities at the Chobe River Lodge were excellent, with the possibility of having breakfast and meals at the Lodge. The weather was absolutely great, cool at night and warm during the day. As far as the roads are concerned, a GPS is very helpful in the deep sand. Impala Tours did a great job with all the reservations.

Reliable & good value for money
I have travelled with ATI for 4 times - visiting Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe. I am a very picky and demanding customer, and every time ATI has delivered on their promises and with very competitive prices. They are truly committed to ensure their clients will have a fabulous trip which exceeds their expectations, and is tailored according to all of their wishes. The team is amazingly courteous, helpful and knowledgeable - and their focus on customer service is very evident.

ATI tailored our tour exactly to our specifications
We used ATI to arrange a safari in Namibia in May of 2013. We were extremely pleased with the service we received. Recommendations, bookings, car rentals - all were excellent. Everything was exceptionally well organized. They were wonderful about accommodating our special requests and making last minute changes. In addition to the actual bookings, ATI provided us with additional emergency insurance, a cell phone with all the lodge numbers booked into it, and a cooler. We will most definitely use them again for our next trip to southern Africa.

Unique family safari in unspoiled and remote wilderness
We cannot find any other words than … truly amazing! … for the trip Amazing Tanzania organized for us and our two teenage daughters from April 26 to May 1st 2013.
Being based in Tanzania for a few years, we were very keen this time to go off the beaten tourists tracks and discover a less explored area in the Ngorongoro, the Gol Mountains region. Very few travel agencies are offering to visit this region at that time of year. Amazing Tanzania was the only one I could find still running a camp in that area at that time. It is obvious the owners know what they are talking about, they are very knowledgeable, professional, gave us good advices and were easily reachable for any questions we had. They came up with a well-organized and customized itinerary to this less traveled place, at an affordable price, including a great suggestion: a return trip through Lake Natron instead of going back on ourselves through Karatu.
Very good and enjoyable driver/guide, beautiful game drives around Ndutu lake and then an unforgettable drive through extraordinary scenery to reach Amazing Tanzania’s camp in Salei plain: we drove all day at leisure pace from Ndutu along the Serengeti/NCA border to Lemuta kopjes, where we could walk up and down the rocks, headed off-road (as there are no roads!) around Lemuta hill with magnificent views over Angata Kiti and the giant Nasera rock. We enjoyed a picnic lunch and a walk at the foot of Nasera rock and continued our drive along the Gol mountains, crossing Angata Kiti amid gazelles, zebras, giraffes, wildebeasts grazing or running through the plain close to Masai herds… and suddenly at the end of Kiti plain, on top of a hill, we discovered a 360° view over the vast Salei plain down below, with volcanoes in the background and the lush green Gol Mountains on our side… Magical! Breathtaking! And then down a winding track to Salei camp where we were warmly welcomed by the whole camp team.
In Salei, we walked in Ol Karien gorge, interacted with the local Maasai, enjoyed the camp all for ourselves and strolled leisurely around on the plain in front of the camp. We drove back to Kilimanjaro Airport via lake Natron, winding down into the Great Rift Valley, taking in many more magnificent views.
We stayed a few nights at the well-known Ndutu Lodge and then 2 nights at Salei camp run by Amazing Tanzania; a small, intimate and very cosy camp with all commodities (and without all these out-of-place luxuries), set up under acacia trees along a dry river bed, wide open grassland in front with gazelles grazing, giraffes strolling far away on the horizon with Ol Donyio Lengai volcano standing majestically in the background… Smiling & devoted staff, excellent chef and food and a very friendly Masai guide full of interesting stories.
We highly recommend Amazing Tanzania. We also recommend visiting the Gol Mountains in the rainy season if you like stunning scenery, walking in the wild as well as meeting the Maasai (in a much less touristic area) – it is not the place to go if you look for big game. In April-May, it is lush green thanks to the (rare) rains and gazelles, zebras, giraffes and wildebeasts are all around. But above all, go for the spectacular landscapes, the feeling of remoteness and wilderness, the sense of space and freedom! Thank you again Laura & Colin & your team for this unforgettable safari.

Excellent service, provided plently of options and customised my safari based on my budget
I had a few days to spare before I went on my Kilimanjaro hike so I decided to look for a short 2 day safari. Laura from Amazing Tanzania was really helpful throughout the entire process and always provided prompt responses. A few things really stood out for me. I contacted over a dozen tour operators directly to see what they can offer since most packages were 3-4 days and it didn't fit my schedule. Of all the companies I reached out to, Laura was the only person to get back to me with questions about my itinerary, budget, etc. When I did get the quote from her, it was well thought out. Not only were the options well within my budget, they also took into account my travel plans. There's also the added bonus that their quotes were cheaper than any of the other quotes I got. After I got the quote and we were discussing potential destinations, I got a recommendation to go to Tangiere instead of Lake Manyara and I asked Laura to change the schedule. She basically said that's not a great idea, but did it in such a great way, giving details and reasoning
When I did finally arrive in Tanzania everything went as well as I could hope for. Our guide Ibra was brilliant and I have a sneeky suspicion he's some kind of an animal whisperer (or he's just that lucky) as we got to see pretty much everything the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara had to offer, even saw a rhino from distance!
