Great service and knowledgeable
What can we say, perfect from start to finish, Thom and Issa where accommodating and helpful with arranging the trip and then the service, knowledge and good humor of Nina our guide was incredible. We did the 4 day safari and saw so much wildlife and learnt a lot about all the animals. The accommodation was superb and the food provided was nourishing and delicious. We will definitely recommend this to anyone looking to book a Tanzanian safari.
One bit of advice to travelers, if you’re paying in USD make sure it’s new money past 2016 as they didn’t accept it, we had to pay using bank transfer which cost extra fees so be mindful.
Thanks for an unforgettable experience

Great team for a great safari
6 days safari in Masai Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha Lake and Hells gate, a lot of species from elephants to mangoes. We really enjoyed our time during the trip. Lenox replies very quickly we customized our trip as we wanted and help us with the transfer to Mombasa. Kevin our 10-year experience guide has driven and guided us very well. He is flexible and funny, and drove some additional road to get my lost glasses.
I recommend !

Professional & accommodating
I had a wonderful 2-day Safari experience through Tanganyika Travels. I visited Ngorongoro Crater on day one, stayed the night in Moshi, and visited Tarangire National Park on day two. My driver and guide was very friendly and communicated with other Safari drivers to ensure we saw elusive creatures, such as a leopard with its kill in a tree. Saw 4 of the big 5, missing only the rhino. An amazing experience!

Professionals who care about your experience
Australian, solo male traveller, age 30.
Big time safaris are professionals through and through. They offer great service at a budget price.
For myself, I intended to complete 11 days safari but after 4 days I wanted to go hiking instead. Steve, David and Jimi arranged this for me with zero stress and zero worries through WhatsApp.
The safari time that I had was perfect. Patrick was my guide and he was knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. Don’t expect luxury accomodation or transport, it is a budget tour after all but with that said, the van is perfect for your safari needs and the tent accomodation meets your needs of saving costs (ask the organisers to upgrade you if you want something more comfortable, which they will gladly arrange).
Hiking mount kenya was an unreal experience and I am so grateful to the big time crew for organising it because it will remain my holiday highlight.
Thanks big time, I had a great time

TERRIBLE BUSINESS PEOPLE
We have a charter with them in February 2022 for our VIP clients, and our charter was to pick up the guest from the hotel on Zanzibar Island and drop them at the Zanzibar Airport. They cancelled our prepaid flight last minute. The client was so angry and had taken us to court for this.
When we demanded a refund, they said they will but to date, we still waiting for a full refund. We feel we are scammed but the owner Albert Gombanila and is a very difficult person to deal with and always gets away with excuses. We would say that they are irresponsible liars and frauds.
Stay away from them

Tanzania safari at its best
My sisters and I got in touch with Michael after getting a recommendation from a friend. He was very professional and based on our requests tailored a wonderful adventure for us at a very reasonable price. We had endless communications over whatsapp and email before the trip to hash out all the logistics and ease our minds that we are going to have a blast. He took care of everything and his plan worked flawlessly.
He went above and beyond accommodating our every wish and ensured that we have a memorable time in beautiful Tanzania.
Very friendly, positive and extremely knowledgeable.
I wholeheartedly recommend taking your safari with him. You won't regret it!
PS: Tanzania is indeed very beautiful.

100% Perfect!
From the start (first contact) until the last moment it was perfect. Silas did even more than expected. I’m a single traveler and have been on many safari’s in Kenya and this one was more than expected. I told him what i was looking for and he was great in thinking together with me to achieve all my goals. Peter(Sumare) the driver was the best driver and already knew what i was looking for and it was a adventure to go on safari with him. Great compliment to the whole team! So for next time I don’t have to look al over the internet again cause I’ll go straight to SafatiUpdateTravels !

Helpful and efficient throughout the trip
Our guide Artur and Bernard who drove us around were perfect hosts. The trip went so smoothly from the airport pick up to when we were dropped off. Artur accommodated any changes and requests, was always smiling and available. We packed quite a few things in our 4 day trip including microflights over the Victoria falls, Safari over the border in Botswana and crossing to Zambia to see the falls from the other side. Artur was there every step of the way and dealt with any administrative burdens which happened along the way. Would highly recommend ASM Travel to anyone travelling to Victoria falls.
