Horrible experience
We are of the opinion that we have been scammed by this company. We paid them but they never showed up to get us at the hotel. They said they will reimburse us but at the time of writing this review we still got no money back. I have all the proofs from the airlines companies and hotel where we were supposed to stay, that the bookings were never made. We advise against booking with Capture Tanzania. You can contact me for proofs.

Fantastic experience
Experience with them has been fantastic! In 4 days of Safari we have seen many animals (including the Big five) and we have enjoyed a lot. Great food from Salim's hand. The rest in the tents is great, they provide you with everything you need (a warm jacket, a pillow and a good mat). I would hire the Safari with them again without hesitation, they are very attentive and care about doing their job well. Thank you!!!

Fantastic custom 5-day/4-night Maasai Mara safari with Mike
I contacted Tazama Africa Holidays to see if they could do a custom 5 day, 4 night Maasai Mara safari for me, my brother, his wife and their two adult children - a total of five of us. I inquired about a custom safari as I wanted to combine Maasai Mara with the Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania. And while there are companies that include both Kenya and Tanzania, they seemed to include other parks. I wanted to focus on those three areas and doing a custom safari and piecing the two countries together allowed me to do just that by crossing from Maasai Mara into Tanzania at Isebania.
The communication with Antony was outstanding. He was very responsive and said he could arrange for our guide to drop us off at the border at Isebania. He gave excellent instructions for payment via wire transfer. He even upgraded our vehicle to a high-end land cruiser with roll-up windows for a more open viewing experience. Antony booked our accommodations at Mara Simba Lodge, which was very nice. The accommodations, food and staff at Mara Simba Lodge were excellent.
As good and seamless as my interaction with Antony was, it was our tour guide, Mike, who made our Maasai Mara experience truly memorable. It rained quite a bit on our first afternoon game drive, but Mike got us back to the lodge without any trouble. With over 16 years' experience in leading safaris, Mike knows the Mara like the back of his hand. He has even lead BBC film crews when they have come to the Mara to film documentaries. We saw so many animals with Mike: lions and their cubs, several cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, etc. Mike was constantly on his radio communicating with other guides and scanning the horizon for wildlife. With an uncanny ability of anticipating where an animal was headed, Mike would maneuver the vehicle to get us into the best spots for photographing the wildlife, all while being respectful of the other drivers and the natural habitat. Somehow, and I'm not sure how, he spotted a lioness in a tree just before it attacked a wildebeest. Mike also took time to answer all of our questions regarding animal behavior and Kenyan culture in general. He even explained the tribal culture in Kenya. We felt lucky to have had Mike as our guide. He was truly a joy to be around. By the end of the safari, he felt like our friend.
Because we had several days in the Mara, we were able to explore it in-depth without feeling rushed. We even did a full day in the Mara Triangle, a personal highlight for me. We started our game drives early around 6:30AM, for the best light, and usually ended around 5 or 6 PM.
I highly recommend Tazama Africa Holidays. You will not regret booking your safari with Antony and Tazama Africa Holidays.

Aron and the team was very passionate to provide me the best experience!
It was the best tour I have participated along my travels. The guides wanted to make sure I have the best experience, helped by easy communication, flexibility about activities and punctuality.
In case Aron you see it, thanks a lot for the experience!

Great safari tour with excellent management
We had a great time with Axis, everything was organized well and their communication before we arrived was great too!
I had a lot of questions and they answered all of our concerns very quickly!
Jeff was our guide for 4 days, and he was great! Knowledgeable and considerate, he made sure we were all having fun and also stopped long enough for us to take lots of photos of the animals.
He even spotted some lions for us himself!!
Definitely recommend going with this company and tour. If you can, ask for Jeff and you are guaranteed to have a good time :)

Fantastic
Our guide Artur was perfect host, and Bernard (and rest of drivers) who drove us around make a perfect team. Artur accommodated any changes and requests, was always smiling and available. In our 4 days trip we did lot of activities and Arthur was always prepared for any unexpected changes and always giving us his best smile... he became one of us! Activities done: flying over the VFA with microlights, visiting Botswana for game drive , crossing to Zambia to see the falls from the other side, swim in Devil's pools. 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.

Very friendly and reliable company and a great guide (Dickson)
Wr booked a private 3 day Masai Mara tour, so we had the whole Toyota land cruiser for ourselves.
Our guide was Dickson, an amazing guy. Not only was he very attentive and helpful, but he also knows the Masai Mara National Park like the palm of his hand. Moreover, he is very well connected and always knew where there are interesting sightings. We had the chance to see all animals we wanted. He was super friendly, made some very good suggestions to enhance our experience and at the same time was not pushy and fulfilled all our wishes.
What we liked a lot is that he and the company are very flexible and were ready to make changes so that the itinerary and the whole experience matches our expectations.
Thank you!
