Quality, custom experience at a fair price
We had an excellent experience with Destination Specialists in Tanzania. The owner, Pendaeli Amos, does two things very well. First, he knows the area thoroughly - whether it was to get an authentic feel for the people & culture or to see the parks/wildlife up close. More importantly to us, he was fully responsive to our interests, and flexible, reshaping our itinerary as we learned and designing custom experiences for us that were exactly what we wanted. We even relied on him for recommendations for our accommodations and this, too, was perfect. Trust of a guide is critical. As we got to know him and understand his values and see them in his actions, we gained much respect for him and his way of treating everyone.

Amazing punctuality, maximum effort from the guide to make a great day
We had a great full day tour with Eddy. He made sure we optimized our daytime in the park. This resulted in us seeing two lions on the road when the other safari cars were already at the elephant sanctuary. This felt very cool and blessed. The company is very flexible, they also offer to take your order for lunch in advance to reduce waiting time and maximize time for the game drives.
Great knowledge about the park and where to go when, instead of following the crowd we went another route and spotted way more animals

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Everything was so effortless. Once in a lifetime
We were blown away with beach safari, from start to finish everything was just perfect! Our 5 day safari was everything and more we could have dreamed of! Our guide Ezra was amazing his knowledge of the wildlife was incredible and we were able to see the big 5 and all the other wonderful animals Africa has to offer. We were men’s to go to the south of Serengeti however Ezra knew the animals would be limited so asked if we minded a longer drive but to the north and we will see me! And with that we got to see cheetah, cheetah cubs, lions and leopards! The safari lodges were incredible so cozy, safe and just what you wanted after a long day!
Our beach part was Zanzibar which was the perfect end to relax on our holiday in a lovely 4* hotel

Vincent is a friendly, hardworking guide with amazing knowledge of Tanzania’s nature.
My brother and I had an amazing time! This is a trip and safari we will never forget.
We went on a 6-day safari, starting in Tarangire, then heading to Southern Serengeti and finally Central Serengeti. We also booked a hot air balloon flight, which I can highly recommend!
Thanks to the professionalism of our tour guide, Vincent, we managed to see all the animals we had hoped for. Vincent truly made our trip special. He knows everything about Tanzania's nature and wildlife and always made sure to take us to the best spots.
The accommodations were also amazing. All of them were surrounded by nature, where we could even hear the animals making noises at night. It was an unforgettable experience!
Overall, I would give this trip a big 10 out of 10! I would highly recommend Vincent to everyone!

Encouraged and took care of me better than my own family
I've never done a large trek with a dedicated team before, but I still couldn't have imagined it going this smoothly. Booking the trek was done through whatsapp. They had immediate response times and were super transparent about pricing and even modified the itinerary to help fit my budget. I landed at 2am and, even at such an obscure time, the transfer was ready and waiting for me at the airport. The team gave me such a welcoming greeting and upon arrival provided me with a few extra layers and other pieces of gear I needed to rent that they had arranged hassle free. Leonard was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who keeps a good pace, doesn't force conversation but holds great ones, and knows an obscene amount about the plant and animal life. I can't put into words how excellent of a guide he was. Chef Taylor's meals never disappointed and featured great variety and more than enough each night, the team was always adamant about having enough calories and I never had to worry about water either. I was the first one to do the batian peak with this team, and the technical guide that they used, Stanley, was a long time friend and incredible climber. He kept confidence high and executed every part of the climb and descent perfectly. Some concrete examples of the extent of their care: providing a thermal bottle full of warm water to put in my sleeping bag every night, getting a last-minute bed for me at shiptons camp due to harsh weather, providing a dinner bedside when I was recovering from the summit push, always keeping sanitary products, finding me an accommodation in town when I had a last-minute hiccup with an atm swallowing my card, and so many more. Without a doubt well worth the price and there shouldn't be any hesitation when choosing Tilman.

Fantastic
We absolutely loved the entire experience! Everything was a 10/10! We saw so many animals and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the safari.
A special mention goes to our driver and our guide, who were incredibly professional, attentive, friendly, and fun. They made the experience even more special!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would definitely do it all over again and highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Thank you so much for everything!

Very capable and beyond helpful.
Chose luxurious and elegant lodges which are affordable - not grossly expensive lodges and hotels. 2 that were especially luxurious were Strand Hotel Swakopmund and Eagles Rest. Food at these lodges was delicious and game rides and other entertainment well organized.
