Review for Faraji – Safari Guide Extraordinaire from Professional Safari Africa
It’s hard to put this experience into words, but one thing is absolutely clear: Faraji was the cornerstone of our entire safari. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment went far beyond what we expected, and he is truly an asset any company would be fortunate to have full-time.
From the moment we met him, Faraji demonstrated exceptional diligence and an unwavering determination to make our safari meaningful. He listened carefully to what mattered most to us—especially my friend’s wish to see lions—and he worked tirelessly until he delivered. Thanks to his persistence and deep knowledge of animal behavior, we witnessed one of the most extraordinary moments of my life: a lioness bravely protecting her cubs from a herd of buffalo. It was unforgettable, and it would not have happened without Faraji’s skill and intuition.
What truly sets him apart is the combination of expertise and spirit he brings to his work. Faraji is incredibly well-educated about the wildlife, ecological dynamics, and historical context of the region. He understands not only where animals can be found, but why—and he shares that insight with enthusiasm and clarity. His passion for guiding is undeniable, and his positive energy made every moment more enjoyable.
As someone who has been on multiple safaris—and who works professionally as a travel agent and project manager—I can confidently say that this was the best guided experience I have ever had. I have high expectations and an eye for detail, and Faraji exceeded every one of them. He is an extraordinarily safe driver, an excellent communicator, and someone who clearly puts his guests’ experience first.
For my 50th birthday, Faraji went above and beyond in a way I will never forget. His knowledge, customer service, safety standards, and genuine good energy are unmatched. I would strongly encourage anyone booking a safari to request him by name—he is truly one of the finest guides I have ever encountered.
Thank you, Faraji, for giving us an experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. You are exceptional at what you do, and any company would be incredibly fortunate to have you on their team.
Extra special thanks to Jesca, who handled all logistics leading up to our trip. She was consistently responsive, patient, and attentive to my many detailed requests, making the planning process seamless.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania you will love the Professional Safari Africa team! From start to finish....... THEY WERE AMAZING!

Very professional and friendly. Everything was arranged according to our wishes.
Joel and Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris organised a safari that genuinely fulfilled our dream. Everything was tailored to our wishes, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Benjamin, was outstanding. He knew exactly where to find each animal, making every day exciting and memorable, and he was a wonderful companion throughout the trip. Joel also provided excellent recommendations and crafted a perfectly balanced itinerary. We were especially grateful for his advice after hiking the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano—taking a relaxing day at the hotel was exactly what we needed.
If you’re planning to book a safari, don’t hesitate to choose Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris—and make sure to ask for Benjamin.

The service was excellent from start to finish, and the lodges they selected were comfortable and perfectly located. Overall, the Tanzanian Safari was an incredible experience that we highly recommend to anyone dreaming of a real African adventure.

Excellent trip
We’ve booked a 2 day 1 night Chobe National Trip with the Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours.
Highly recommend this company, everything was handled really seamlessly, starting with Vic Falls transfer to Chobe and back, the accommodation, catering and of course game drives and cruises - everything was top notch. The communication along the way was clear and we always knew what to do next. Most importantly, we were able to see so many animals up close, including lions, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles and many more!

not all guides are the same-request peter alex to guarantee a 5 star experience
we heard of this company through safaribookings. com hugo was quick to respond and tailor made our 11 day safari starting in arusha through all the major parks in tanzania and we also did 3 nights in kenya.ending in nairobi. our guide in tanzania was amazing. peter alex was knowledgeable, courteous to us and everyone we came into contact with and navigated the bumpy roads with comfort in mind. the guide we were handed over to in kenya(spirit of kenya)was the opposite. when we asked him to slow down as we were getting tossed around as he zigzagged potholes, he said it "cant be avoided". he also said there would be an extra charge for having the popup roof opened, then changed his mind. if we were to do another safari or recommend to others we would ensure peter was our guide, regardless of which company he worked for. we saw every animal imaginable. i couldnt believe the quality and quantity in our midst, and how close we got to them despite having to stay to the roads. hugo's choices for lodging were fabulous, however a couple of places did not have wifi extending to the rooms. had we have known we would have stayed elsewhere as we need 24/7 contact with family back home. also, another distatsteful part of kenya was the scam at the land border. an employee assists you in clearing immigration then asks for $20 cash for his troubles.
