A great authentic experience with a lots of animals
The communication with the agency was without any issues, and they were always fast to respond.
The safari was definitely value for money! The campsite surprises us positive and it was quit cozy.
On the safari we saw a lot of wild animals like we expected, so no complaints.
The only thing that could have been better was if the guide offered a bit more information about the program of the day and more about the animals.
We will still highly recommend it.

Tarakwai Safaris offer a unique experience
Jay, owner of Tarakwai Safaris, arranged my trip to Zanzibar meticulously, and all at an affordable cost.
Not only that, they don't use the run of the mill properties - Tarakwai believes in supporting the local tourism and I was pleasantly surprised with the options availa le, all at good standards of service and accommodation, without the crowds.
Jay has a good reading and understanding of his clients and knows how to match the right accommodation to the client.
Everything went without a hitch for my trip.

Reliable company
We had an awesome time in Kenya last week of Feb. We explored Aberdare Nation Park, Ol Pejeta conservancy, lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara and managed to see all big 5.
Safari is a very unique experience, nothing like that we did before and kameraz made it happen. Carol Candy was super available while we were planning the trip and during the stay. I would definitely recommend this company to arrange the safari.

Tumi was very knowledgeable
Our safari was interesting and exciting. It rained and we didn’t expect to see many animals but our guide gave us a thrilling day and we saw the big 5 plus more. Our guide kept us engaged by testing us on info he was explaining. Very interactive

Helpful and good hospitality
We did a two-day safari with Hello Tanzania/Kamar Safaris in January 2023. The booking process was very convenient, and we appreciated the opportunity to get domestic flights in the package back and forth from Zanzibar. When we booked the trip, there was an initenary on the safari days, but not info on how much time it took back and forth between the airport and national parks, or from the national park to our safari accommodation. These would have been good to state in the travel initenary to know how much time travel takes. Our driver was really friendly and told us a lot about the animals, as well as made sure to make the most out of our days on the safari. When I think about the experience afterwards, a three - day safari would have been a better option, as it felt like we were in a hurry from time to time. I recommend considering a longer safari altough it is more pricey. I would also consider to book a tour where the safari camp is somewhere close to the national park or even within it, and drive around in the same park for a couple of days. We experienced some really magical moments during our two days, nevertheless. Our flight back to Zanzibar on the second day could have been a bit later, as it felt like we were in a rush getting back from Ngorongoro crater. All in all, we did really enjoy the spectacular views in the national parks of Tarangine and Ngorongoro.

Jeff's the man
Jeff was a friendly, informative and accomodating guide, making our trip really fun and memorable. No issues at all communicating with each other, and we agreed daily what time to start our day so everyone could be prepared and aligned with the schedule.

Connect African Safaris, your gateway to Tanzanian safaris
Connect African Safaris was the first to react to my quote request and I was a little surprised that Thecla contacted me personally by WhatsApp. After that there was a good contact with both Thecla and Sheryl and they answered all questions my wife and I had. On the morning of the start of our safari Sheryl came personally to our hotel to make sure that everything was okay. Our driver/tour guide Emanuel proofed to be a good driver and after a 6 hour trip from Dar Es Salaam to Mikuni National Park we could start our first game drive. Thanks to Emanuel we already saw all animals on our bucket list and after a few hours driving through the park we went to the lodge that Connect African Safaris had booked for us for a nice dinner and a good sleep. The next morning it was up early again for breakfast and then off to the park. Again a lot of animals where seen and Emanuel stopped where ever we wanted so we could get the best possible photos. In the afternoon we had a short but very interesting visit to a Masai village. On the final day it was back to Dar Es Salaam where we were dropped off at the hotel of our choice. I can highly recommend Connect African Safaris. Communications are excellent and they give a very good service. If I ever have the opportunity to visit Tanzania again I will certainly book a tour with them again.

Getting safari adjusted to our needs was very efficient, communication was great, people friendly!
From first moment, communication with Alice, our tour consultant, was great. She quickly responded to all our questions, modified itinerary to include our end point in Diani, after visiting Amboseli and Tsavo West conservancy.
Our guide was very sweet and quiet young man Julius, who tried to show us as much as possible. Most impressive were families of lions and views of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli NP, where we also saw elephants, hippos, zebras, hyenas, buffaloes, flamingos... Accommodation in Oltukai Lodge was great, food options for my daughter and me, who are celiacs, were amazing.
Herds of animals coming to drink water at Salt Lick Lodge waterhole was something special to experience. Elephants, wilder beasts, zebras….kept coming to drink in organized long lines. It is impressive how all animals work together and give each order chance to drink, since that is the only place where water is available.
