Altan Safari made our trip unforgettable. The staff was welcoming, and the safari was amazing seeing wildlife up close was incredible. The guides shared great info, making the experience special for me and my girlfriend. It’s a perfect choice for creating lasting memories together.

Perfect Safari Experience from Sansibar
5/5

We did a 3 day Safari in Tansania from our holidays in Sansibar. We had a great experience with Travel Wise Safari. Everything was perfectly planned and organized. From picking us up at our hotel in Sansibar, the flight to the mainland, the whole Safari, until bringing us back, everything ran without any issues or delays. It was a private tour, only me and my girlfriend..- and still cheaper, than many other companies. Our guide was such a nice guy, so friendly and funny, spoke our language, answered all our questions, the hotels were great, clean, beautiful, the food for all days was very good and more than enough. We saw 4 of the big 5, it was the the best experience of our holiday.
I would definetely recommend Travel Wise Safari. Without a doubt.
If we make a 2nd Safari anytime in the future again, I would definetely choose Travel Wise Safari for it.

Brilliant Safari Experience
5/5

We had an amazing 3 day safari experience. John was a fantastic tour guide who got us so close to many of the big 5 and shared his knowledge about each of them. It was incredible to see the animals so close in their natural habitat. Would highly recommend.

I will give all my best word to this trip and to Whistling
5/5

Traveling with Whistling Travel in Tanzania was honestly way beyond our expectations.

We’re two girls visiting Africa for the first time, and many things felt unfamiliar at the beginning. But the Whistling team—especially Crystal, Alex, and our guide Didas—took amazing care of us from start to finish. We felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely well looked after the whole time.

Crystal was always responsive, thoughtful, and patient when helping us before and during the trip. Alex made sure everything on safari was well prepared—drinks, snacks, meals, and all the little details that really make a difference.

And most importantly, our Guide Didas!!
Didas truly made this trip unforgettable. He picked us up at the airport late at night and drove us to Moshi. Both of us get carsick very easily, but he drove extremely smoothly, slowed down for every speed bump, and made sure we were comfortable at all times.

On safari, Didas was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Thanks to his “eagle eyes” and strong communication network, we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs with cubs, leopards, and so much more. He always knew where to go and when to wait.

What we appreciated even more was how much he shared beyond wildlife—local life, culture, education, housing, and even teaching us some Swahili and Maasai words. He’s patient, funny, calm, kind, and very genuine. You can really feel how much he loves his job and his country.

We visited Chemka Hot Springs, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti, and Ndutu. Whistling prepared safari beers, cold drinks (yes, with a cooler!), unlimited water, local snacks, and hot hamper meals every day. Everything was well organized and thoughtful.

Highlights included a night safari, a walking safari with rangers and Maasai guides, watching lion cubs practice hunting, hearing lions roar and hyenas laugh at night, and getting incredibly close to wildlife in the Serengeti. Every day felt special.

Leaving Tanzania was really hard—and saying goodbye to Didas even harder.

We really recommend Whistling Travel, Didas, Crystal, and Alex enough. If you’re thinking about Tanzania, just book with them. You’ll be in very good hands.

Amazing time with amazing memories!
5/5

We had a wonderful time at Masai Mara. It was well planed by Brian with good accommodation options at reasonable price. James our guide showed us big 5 on the first day of the safari in Masai Mara.
It was just like we expected and everyone in my family were really happy with the experience.

5/5

Booked a 3 day Safari to the famous Masai Mara. I can’t express enough graduation to Horizon Hunt Safaris who made it possible . They ensured the tour was smooth from transfers to accommodation and any other inquiries I had. I would advice those looking for an agency to prepare their tours and travel to consider Horizon Hunt Safaris 😊

Serengeti really is "the place where the land runs on forever"
5/5

We absolutely lucked out with Gasper as our guide. He was on a completely different level when it came to tracking wildlife and truly seemed to have two sets of eyes. As a Maasai guide, his tracking skills and deep cultural knowledge clearly added another dimension to the experience. One unforgettable moment was when he spotted a cheetah stalking a gazelle. We followed the entire hunt, witnessed the cheetah’s incredible speed, and later had a front-row seat as it relaxed in the shade right next to our vehicle before heading off for dinner.

We saw the Big Five by our second morning, including two separate leopard sightings. The first leopard had 15 to 20 safari vehicles surrounding it, but Gasper managed to find a second leopard with a gazelle in the tree that we were able to watch almost on our own for an eternity. It became pretty clear just how good he was when another safari driver kept showing up right after our best sightings, including cheetahs and leopards, clearly following where Gasper was leading us. Beyond his tracking skills, he shared an incredible amount of knowledge, and his passion for wildlife and Tanzania truly shone through.

A quick tip for future travelers. The whole “beware of the tsetse flies” warning is totally overblown. Maybe it was the time of year, late November, but we did not see a single one. Pack what you want and do not overhaul your entire wardrobe based on internet hype.

We booked a custom itinerary flying directly from Zanzibar into the Serengeti, then driving to Arusha via the Ngorongoro Crater. For fellow aviation enthusiasts, if you are booked on As Salaam Air, do not worry. It is legit. There is limited information online, but check-in was smooth at a small terminal north of the domestic terminal, and the flight itself went perfectly. Gasper was waiting for us at Seronera Airstrip, and we immediately jumped into the vehicle and started seeing incredible wildlife.

The accommodations were fantastic, especially considering the very reasonable price point we were quoted. We were the only guests at Kumbukumbu Lodge due to low season and some cancellations related to election protests, which we never saw or experienced at all. Farms of Dreams Lodge was also wonderful.

I cannot recommend Golden Trips Tanzania highly enough for a true trip of a lifetime. Definitely ask for Gasper as your guide.

An exceptional safari experience with Jocky Tours
5/5

We went on a 7-day safari with Jocky Tours, exploring the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and the experience was fantastic throughout the week. We were lucky to have Dennis as our guide, who knew the areas perfectly and knew exactly where to go and when to approach them. While a safari isn't solely about experience, having such a knowledgeable guide certainly helps a great deal. Thanks to him, we were fortunate enough to see all the animals, and up close, which made the trip even more special. Overall, an incredible experience and highly recommended.
