The best from A to Z
I had booked a morning game months ago and due to several bothering and unwanted changes made by the airline I had to update every time with David who always replied within the hour whatever the time I had sent the message.
So the first quality is reactivity
The last change, bothersome of all had me arrive at 6 in the morning whereas I was supposed to arrive in the evening and be picked up at my hotel the following day for the game. David suggested that he could pick me up directly at the airport which he did on the 3rd of September.
When I landed, more than one hour late, he was there patiently waiting for me. and we left on the spot.
Second and third qualities: efficiency and patience
Upon arriving at the gate everything went smooth as the driver and David took care of all the details in a few minutes while I was waiting in the Range Rover.. We then took off to have a wonderful game spotting all the animals I had wanted to see and more, "scanning" the area for any sighting and they did indeed as I had the opportunity to watch a silver hyena feeding on a bird it had just killed. David showed me where the attack had taken place as the hyena had dragged its victim.
During the trip, David took every opportunity to explain the wild life, commenting on every scene I was witnessing
Fourth and expected quality: professionalism
I will add that both, David and the driver ( sorry I did not catch his name) were quite pleasant and eager to make everything smooth
Loved it and ... thanks

Vision met our budget needs and gave us the adventure of a lifetime.
Booking safari can be intimidating, from when we first reached out to Vision to get quotes it was clear Vision lives up to its motto “We Cherish Visitors”. From that first contact they were responsive to all our questions, text messages, phone calls, they were open to negotiation, and more than accommodating as we finalized our travel plans and itineraries in the months, weeks, even days before our safari.
Vision booked us a 6-day adventure around Northern Tanzania visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. At each hotel and tented camp we stayed at the staff was always so welcoming and we have no complaints about the buffet meals in the lodges. Our guide/driver Jacob was kind, funny, and managed to make each day an exciting new adventure. Vision checked in with us during the safari and on our final day in Tanzania one of their drivers took us around to visit Serval Wildlife and the Chemka Hot Springs, both such special experiences after a such a special trip. Shoutout to Gloriana!

Easy communication, professional and reliable.
We booked our 9 day safari and 8 day Zanzibar tour through Tales of Tanzania 1 year before our trip.
Pendo was so easy to communicate with, every question and modification to our itinerary was never too hard. Pendo was prompt and quick to reply (allowing for time difference). She made booking our dream honeymoon so easy and put any worries we had at ease.
We paid via Wise transfer which was the easiest method from Australia.
When we arrived at Mt Kilimanjaro airport where we were met by our lovely guide, Peter. The next day Pendo and her sister, Yasinta met us at our hotel and provided details about our itinerary and what to expect.
We started our trip in Arusha before heading to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with our incredible guide, Peter.
Peter was so generous with his knowledge and is very passionate about his work and the animals.
Pendo booked us into beautiful accommodation, with incredible views and delicious food. Our first morning we woke up to two elephants walking past our room which was so special.
We then travelled to Zanzibar and had 5 nights in Nungwi, laying by the beach and pool. We then had two nights in Stone Town. Pendo arranged us day trips to the spice markets, ocean safari where we snorkelled in the clearest water and enjoyed a seafood BBQ on the beach and learnt about the history of Zanzibar on a guided walking tour. She also arranged for us a private sunset cruise on a traditional dhow to celebrate our Honeymoon. This was such a special touch.
We absolutely loved our holiday that Tales of Tanzania created for us. If anyone is even considering a safari I would highly recommend you do it. Tanzanian hospitality is the best in the world, we felt so looked after and cared for. I wish we could do it all over again!!

Absolutely amazing!
Our trip to Kenya was truly AMAZING! Especially thanks to Mr.Newton and Kefa! It was our first time in Kenya and doing Safari tour so I was a little worried at first, but Kefa was super helpful. Kefa helped me with the itinerary and despite the time difference, he always responded in timely manner and gave me all the answers! I got to meet Kefa before our tour started and he saw us off, and that was nice! He also checked in during and after the trip as well! Our Safari guide was Mr. Newton and he is the best! He was very knowledgeable and also very caring and kind and funny. We couldn't have asked for a better guide to spend our 6 days with. He always explained what the plan was, and also asked if we were ok and what we wanted. He also educated us about the animals, birds, and places we got to see, and we saw so many animals and birds! It was amazing how many animals we got to see in those vast parks and it was all thanks to Mr.Newton. We were amazed how he can find all those animals there. He also got us snacks and he even treated us with orange juice made from fresh oranges! There was lots of driving, but Mr. Newton was always so sunny and helped us stay in good moods. My dad was very impressed with Mr. Newton and he was so happy we got to experience this trip. We really had a wonderful unforgettable experience!!

Highly recommended!!
The safari with "Magic of Wild" was organized down to the last detail. The planning was perfect, so all we had to worry about was enjoying it. The Jeep had every comfort, the hotels had a special charm, the food was exquisite, and the staff was always ready to make our stay easier.
Every day was unique; we had different adventures, both inside and outside the parks.
Fredi knows the area perfectly, which means he always knows how to surprise us, exceeding our expectations, and explaining every question we had in detail and with great care. Asante Sana ☺️✨
We're returning to Spain, in love with Tanzania 🇹🇿🤍 Highly recommended!

excellent
My family of five , three adult daughters, just returned from our second trip booked by Rose . I called Rose last year and asked her if she could plan another trip for us but that I wanted it to be completely different than the first amazing trip she organized for us in Kenya and Tanzania . Rose knocked it out of the park with organizing an 12 day trip to Zambia !!! Every detail was taken care of , the activity level was exactly what we wanted and the level of the camps were perfect !! I strongly recommend that anyone planing a safari trip to Africa use Rose Hipwood for a once in a lifetime ( or in our case a twice in a lifetime ) experience that you will treasure forever !

Excellent tour operator
I recently did a 5-day safari in Tanzania, covering Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Overall, my experience was extremely positive.
Communications: The communication before and during the trip was clear, timely and professional. All my questions were answered quickly and arrangements were well explained.
Service: The staff were attentive, friendly and genuinely cared about making the experience memorable. Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient and passionate about wildlife.
Reliability: Everything went smoothly as planned – from pick-ups to accommodation and game drives. I always felt I was in safe and reliable hands.
Value for money: Considering the quality of the lodges, the comfort of the vehicle, the expertise of the guide and the variety of wildlife we saw, I found the safari excellent value for money.
The tour itself: The itinerary was well balanced, allowing enough time in each park to really enjoy the landscapes and the animals. Serengeti’s vastness, Tarangire’s elephants and baobabs, and Ngorongoro’s unique crater were all unforgettable highlights.
I would highly recommend this safari to anyone wanting an authentic and well-organized experience in Tanzania.
