Super all-round support, great hotels, unimaginably great German-speaking guide
We were picked up as arranged at the airport and driven to a great hotel, where we could first relax. We had 5 national parks ahead of us and so this day in the hotel did really good. On the same day, a lady from Tanzania Specialist came by and brought us all the documents (itinerary, hotel list, info about Zanzibar flight...) and got us in the mood for the trip.
The next day we were picked up on time from our hotel and off we went with our guide and driver Matteo across the national parks. I don't want to start raving about the country, because I'm not supposed to rate Tanzania itself here, but thanks to the great organization and our guide, who showed us a lot of his country, I would give the country itself 5 stars. But back to Tanzania Specialist. The guide was not only great because he spoke German - which made a lot of things easier for us - but he was always on time, the car always clean inside (which is a miracle with the dust!), he told us a lot about the country and the people and he made us aware of animals that we would never have seen ourselves. Still today I am amazed that on the one tree was actually a leopard - I didn't even see it at first when Matteo told us where it was, so well camouflaged it was. Thanks to our guide we had the most crazy experiences and saw a lot. With enormous patience and good exchange with other guides he always brought us to new animals (serval cat, hornbill, cliff slate...) or plants (wild mangos, gardenia bush, tamarind tree...) and explained them to us. We could not have asked for a better guide.
The hotels were sensational as well. We have traveled a lot in different countries, but we have never had such fantastic hotels. Again and again we had pictures of them in our status, and also friends and acquaintances were amazed e.g. about the "tents" in the Serengeti, which I would have imagined somehow simpler. The hotel of Tanzania Specialist - Best View - itself was with the pool of course one of the highlights, but also with two drops of bitterness: The guide was not allowed to spend the night there, because there are still! no accommodations for the guides. This meant for the guide after each tour - we were there for three days - to drive up a dog-awful road (downer 2!) to the hotel (20 minutes), drop us off, then drive back down to the village, look for accommodation there and then drive up the road again the next morning. I really hope something changes soon that drivers can stay there too (like most other accommodations). Also absolutely crazy awesome was Lion's Paw Camp on the Ngorongo Crater rim as well. But as I said, the other hotels were hardly worse, just different.
On the last Tanzania day we were again welcomed at the airport by the lady from Tanzania Specialist, she took great care of the check-in and luggage check-in. The flight to Zanzibar went smoothly and in Zanzibar the driver was already waiting to take us to our dream hotel - the Blue Moon. This was also arranged and booked by Tanzania Specialist, just like the guided tour of Stonetown/spice farm (Stonetown could have been left out, there are more interesting locations) and the drive back to the airport. Conclusion: with Tanzania Specialist even babies could go on a world tour, everything works perfectly and you have great all-round care from leaving the arrival airport to entering the departure airport! There is really nothing to complain about.
Just fantastic
From start to finish Peter our guide / driver was amazing. Very kind and informative . He was so knowledgeable in all aspects of the safari. My wife and I had the experience of a life time .

The team was super organized
Just returned from my 10-day trip to Kenya + Tanzania with my friends and I have to say that everything was amazing.
Lilian made sure we had everything we needed and the drivers Edward and Sylvester were always on time and taking care of what we needed.
We had all meals included, from breakfast to dinner and the quality was good, especially in Kenya when we had our own cook (Donald)
Make sure to pack some warm clothes since the nights can be cold in the middle of the Savanah.

Highly service-oriented, customer-centered tour operator
I had a great time during a one-day tour in Akagera park in Rwanda.
Great tour guide, huge knowledge of the park and wildlife, tried everything to make me see a lot of animals.
I also did the boat tour that can be booked additionally. Definitely worth it!
Only think I would not do again, would be booking the meals. Would just bring or buy it for myself. Don't think the extra price you pay for that reflects the actual price and quality of the food you get. It's no issue at all to bring your own, or buy it in the lodge restaurant.
Otherwise, all was great.

Magical Safari experience!
We highly recommend Lomo Tanzania Safari for their professionalism, principle and friendliness.
David our French-speaking guide and Erasto were wonderful and welcomed us directly as we got off the plane with tea, chocolate, coffee and cakes.
They were really attentive to our needs and our desires, and made a point of honor to our safety.
We spent 7 unforgettable days with them in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks with lots of explanations about animals and plants.
How lucky, the Big 5 were there!
The camps and lodges were superb and the people extremely considerate and kind.
Our 4x4 was equipped with a reserve of drinking water where we could fill the water bottles that were given to us on arrival, to avoid too much plastic waste! Cheer!
For our magnificent picnics in the middle of the parks, the cooler also contained wine, sodas, according to everyone's desires.
During our journey we also discovered the way of life of the inhabitants and learned lots of Swahili words with David.
This trip as well as David and Erasto will remain forever engraved in our memories and in our hearts ❤️

Very detail oriented and everything was smooth and well planned
The plan for the trip was clearly communicated in written form. Various options were given based on price... the hotel proposed was really great with super tasty cuisines.... service was also very personal and the safari guide very knowledgeable about the animals and the park in general. Iwould definitely recommend Kudu safaris for a stress free holiday experience
