Furahia Tanzania showed us how friendly, colorful and beautiful Tanzania can be!
Early 2017 my best friend and I travelled to Tanzania for two weeks. We booked a safari for the first week using a Dutch tour operator. Unfortunately we had same bad luck on the airport and had to take an airplane with one day delay. But the owner of Furahia Tanzania, Deograsias, made sure we wouldn't miss a single second of our safari. He even picked us up from Kilimanjaro Airport by himself, even though we would originally arrive at Dar Es Salaam Airport. Deograsias even managed to move the whole safari one day ahead, including the overnight stays.
During the safari we had our own driver and guide Manyama. This very friendly and smart guy was not only the best driver I had ever met, but was also very talented in spotting the animals in the parks from a great distance. Even with binoculars we still had trouble finding the lions or leopards that he spotted with his naked eye, while driving even! Our delicious meals were cooked by a sweet young guy named Fredrick. In the morning we had freshly made breakfast with eggs, yummy pancakes (that I still miss to this day) and the amazingly fresh fruit. Diner was also a true feast, and a well-needed meal after a full day of safari. Fredrick also took care of the lunches. Sometimes we got a freshly made hot lunch and sometimes he would pack nice lunchboxes to enjoy on the road.
Tanzania is an incredibly beautiful country. With Furahia Tanzania we were able to admire the beauty of this country even more. In the parks (Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Serengeti National Park en Tarangire National Park) we saw an incredible amount of animals and natural beauty, thanks to our talented guides. We also had the change to witness the Tanzanian culture, de masai and the daily life of Tanzanian people. Manyama even gave us a boxing class in Deograsias' gym in Mto Wa Mbu, which was awesome!
After our week of safari fun we had trouble saying goodbye to our new Tanzanian friends. We had such a great time with them. There was a lot of laughter, there were good talks and we shared music. During the rest of our stay in Tanzania Deograsias regularly checked up on us to say how we were doing. He has already let us know that we could contact him whenever we needed to during our stay in Tanzania. De guys from Furahia Tanzania showed us how friendly, colorful and beautiful Tanzania can be!

Great experience!
Jonathon was our guide and he was excellent! We saw much more wildlife than we had ever expected. :)
The ride from Nairobi to the camp is a bit rough, as there wasn't air conditioning in the van, and the roads are pretty bad in spots, but we were on a very tight budget, so beggars can't be choosers! The drive also provided a very authentic experience, with plenty of opportunity to see the villages and how the people live. The camp was lovely and the food was excellent! The only thing we would have done differently would be to take a flight back to Nairobi rather than drive back. Fantastic adventure!!

Spectacular, lifetime of memories
Everything about this trip was outstanding , especially considering 'This is Africa'. The hotels were great , seeing the wildebeest cross the mara river was amazing.

We did a 3 day trip to Murchinson falls. It was outstanding and our guide Dennis as brilliant
The whole trip went well. Dennis was knowledgable about the animals we saw and about Uganda its people, and history. We stayed at Fort Murchinson lodge. It was very good. We saw 4 of the big 5 and lots more including two porcupine which are very rare. Dennis went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed himself. To get the most out of your safari be prepared to spend long days - dawn to dusk on the reserve. You will see more. I can not praise this company to highly

Perfect tour, great organization. Recommened!! 5 star company*****
We enjoyed very much our 6 day safari with Gatatu Safaris.
All was taken care off and we felt very welcome in Uganda.
Our guide/driver was a very nice, clam, and experienced person that took us to everywhere we agreed, we could see all we expected to see, and Richard is doing a great work helping kids from the region with his school.
Was a great experience in the last day to visit the school and be with the kids.
If we planning to do a safari i recommend Gatatu Safari.
Thank you Richard and Deo.

Incredible Experience
The service provided by Seth was exemplary, all emails and questions were answered quickly and with detail. Our driver, Ken, was excellent. We were lucky enough to see all the animals we were keen to see including 9 lions and 11 cheetahs, Ken made sure that we always had the best views and was overall, an excellent guide.

Awesome Experience
Being that it's a safari, there's no guarantees you'll see all the animals or get up and close to them. This was the best organised and most enjoyable trip we have ever experienced! The service from Scenery Adventures was professional extremely knowledgeable.
We were extremely impressed with the efficiency of the Scenery Adventures, the response to queries and information provided prior to our vacation and overall knowledge available to us with with Monicah and her team who did a superb job.
Thank you for unforgettable selection of activities. Transfers and flights were seamless and on time, our bookings were recognised and honoured. Everything worked better than expected!

Memorable gorilla tracking experience
I asked Kombi Tour to organize a tour with little notice, little time available (3 days) and need for assistance to babysit my 10 months old boy while my partner and I went for gorilla tracking. Everything was organised on time and efficiently: also, they sort out a problem of UWA with gorilla permits, allowing us a wonderful gorilla tracking experience.

Wonderful safari in kenya
We are avid Safari goers having visited some of the best Safari locations in East & Southern Africa over the last few years, attracted by the stunning landscapes and of course the magical wildlife. East Africa however is our favorite safari destination in large part due to the sheer diversity of both Kenya and Tanzania. We did our first safari with a famous safari outfitter who were quite expensive, and though we enjoyed the experience, we felt it was a little too ‘run of the mill’ and ‘’packaged’’ for the price. For our second trip we were recommended Shoor Safaris by one of our friends who had used them before. When we contacted them we were very particular with the details as for our second safari we wanted to go to locations a little ‘’off the beaten track’’ as well as keep the prices in check. Shoor Safaris, and Fiona in their Reservations team, were a revelation – not only creating a superb itinerary for us with carefully selected lodges, but also ending up being more reasonable than comparable outfitters. After our first trip with them a couple of years ago [ and our second to Africa], we are now planning a third safari with Shoor later this year to combine Kenya & Tanzania into a 10 day itinerary, and I can assure anyone who is considering booking with them that they are a great choice for an affordable, dependable and highly personalized luxury operator for Kenya and Tanzania
