Magical Tanzania Holiday
Travelling in Tanzania with Tanzania Specialist (TS) was fabulous!
Our party of four adults had an amazing 14 night trip made so by the excellent organisation of the trip and our fabulous guide, Jakob.
We started off flying into Mt Kilimanjaro Airport and were collected by TS. We participated in the Materuni Village Waterfall Walk (not for the feint of heart in the heat)! Two of our party climbed Mt Kilimanjaro to the Mandara Huts (full day exercise) and we all visited the Rundugai Springs and loved the activity floating about in the crystal clear waters.
We then moved on to Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara and were blown away by the wildlife we saw. We had rangers take us on a walking safaris which were really enjoyable. Next we moved on to the Serengeti for three nights in a comfortable tented camp and visited the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We were very lucky to fulfil the sighting of the "Big 5".
After our time on safari with TS we flew to Zanzibar (on Airlink) for four nights on the Island which was very relaxing.
All our accommodation was great, meals provided were good (including the daily packed lunches for safari days) and the vehicle we travelled in was comfortable enough and equipped with a fridge which was most welcome.
The activities undertaken and the vast array of animal sightings up close were amazing, we never felt rushed and were lucky to have such a wonderful guide and driver in Jakob. Jakob was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and made sure each guest was catered for. He also has a great sense of humour and listened to all our requests. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he was happy to facilitate any of our needs.
I would highly recommend TS for a safari in Tanzania, from the booking process, communication, service and the tour itself (especially because of our guide) it was a really fantastic experience.

Josephat and David were very professional, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire weekend.
Elida tours is a great company. And the drivers are experienced and knowledgeable. This is a real value because on a safari you want a driver that is patient, familiar with the park and knows the animals habits and where they usually are. I had the opportunity to be driven by the owner over the weekend and the experience was one I will never forget. Great experience. Great company.
Will definitely use Elida Tours again in the future.

Ezekiel Senkoro: exceptional, beautiful inside/out, calm, attentive to detail. Top-notch guide!
My safari adventure with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions exceeded expectations! Ezekiel Senkoro's expert guidance made our journey unforgettable. We explored the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti, Mara River Crossing, Ngorongoro, and the Crater, witnessing thrilling moments that will forever be etched in my memory.
The highlights of our trip included witnessing the breathtaking wildebeest crossing twice, spotting the Big Five, and seeing an astonishing 37 lions in one morning game drive. We also encountered many other incredible sights and animals up close and personal.
Ezekiel's exceptional care and expertise made our experience truly seamless. His knowledge, driving skills, and fantastic music selection catered to our every need. He ensured our safety, comfort, and entertainment throughout our journey.
This safari experience has had a lasting impact on me. I've gained a deeper appreciation for Tanzania's wildlife and conservation efforts. I've also learned valuable lessons from the Tanzanian people, including respecting land and wildlife, admiring their hard work and resilience, appreciating simplicity, and embracing sustainability.
I highly recommend Ezekiel Senkoro and Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for an unforgettable safari experience. They have created lifelong memories for me, and I'm confident they will do the same for you!

Amazing customized safari!
Edmand was unforgettable. He made our tour so special and customized just for us. We will remember Uganda as our favorite place forever, because of Halloo Uganda’s unique and client-driven service. Even when we got in a pickle with the Jeep in the muddy rain, Edmand was there to guide us through. I also really appreciated the knowledge he has about Uganda and the stories he would tell us. I am so glad we found this company, and didn’t go with anyone else!

Quality local operator providing exceptional service.
7 day Lemosho route up Kilimanjaro & 2 day Safari.
Get comfortable as this is a long and detailed review of this exceptional company and their people.
First let me start with Geoffrey who is the director of the company. His ability to answer all my questions and queries via what's app made it so easy for me to choose Burigi chato safaris for all of my needs in Tanzania. Given there was an 8hr time difference between us I was even more impressed with his response rate. Everything was organised seamlessly from the moment I arrived. I was met by my driver and taken to my comfortable lodge in Mosh. I was met by my guide Amin for Mt Kilimanjaro climb. He provided me with a brief outline of the next days activities and went through an equipment check to ensure we only took what we needed for the 7 day trek. Next day I was introduced to the rest of the support team. As other hikers scheduled on this trip postponed their climb to another date, I had the support crew all to myself. There were 7 in total, I would like to say at this stage these guys are exceptional at what they do. It never ceases to amaze me how effortlessly they make it look. Carrying over 20kgs each up and down the mountain they always had our camp and tents all set up long before we even arrived. There was always a hot drink and meal ready whenever you arrived. At this point I would like to add that Wilson and his assistant cook winner are culinary geniuses with what they able to whip up. Example of some foods like fish and chips, rice and beef stews, spaghetti Bolognese, pancakes, crepes etc just to mention a few. Felt bad as all the food looked great but I was not able to eat too much of it as lost my appetite due to altitude. This is where Weshack my waiter comes in. He really should consider a job in sales as he was excellent in convincing me to eat as much I could to keep my strength up. He did a bloody good job too. He will make a good future guide. Speaking of guides I was blessed with such a great one in Amin who has over a decade of knowledge helping climbers achieve their goals. Again an individual that is exceptional at what he does. Always felt safe and confident with his guidance. The rest of the team like Mike our summit porter, Isaiah the dishwasher and Fred our porter all of who made the journey that much better.
The safari was exceptionally organised with all meals and accommodation taken care of. Tarangire park and Ngorongoro crater where phenomenal.
The team at Burigi chato are definitely a company I would recommend for any of your adventures in Tanzania. Whether that be climbing the mountain or doing a multi day safari, these are the folks you need to speak to first. I can not speak of them highly enough. Thank you
