Fantastic family holiday with excellent company
We travelled to Tanzania & Zanzibar with Original Tanzania in July. We were a family of 5 with 3 sons aged 18, 16 and 8. Right from our initial enquiry Sarah was so pleasant and helpful in planing our trip. She organised a tailor made trip to accommodate our budget, time availability and preferences. We really felt that we got a very personalised service and one which represented better value for money than a trip organised via a U.K. Travel operator as we weren't paying a "middle man'. We did Safari first which included 4 national parks with a day in the middle spent on a village cultural tour. We stayed in a combination of tented & conventional lodges al of which had their own pros & cons. We particularly liked Tloma lodge & Ngorongoro farmhouse as well as Tarangire Lodge (amazing views - wished had stayed longer here). While the Kati Kati tented camp was basic accommodation the food here was fantastic. Our driver Bryson stayed with us during our entire time on Safari and was also excellent. We went to Zanzibar for our last 5 days & enjoyed a day sightseeing in Stonetown followed by 4 wonderful relaxing days in the beautiful and luxurious Breezes resort- which I think was necessary after an otherwise busy time on Safari.
I would thoroughly recommend Original Tanzania

Ngorongoro Safari
Had a fabulous time at Ngorongoro with James as our driver and guide. He is very knowledgeable regarding the animals and provided lots of interesting facts and information.

wonderful experience
For us, was the first time travelling in Africa and everything was brand new: the people and their exotic habits, the places . This short holiday in Tanzania was for us a very unique experience with unparalleled experiences and emotions which offer us a range of moments and wonderful memories. In conclusion, a memorable and successful holiday. We were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and good organisation of your staff and definitely we will share this to other friends.

Great experience!
The whole safari was well organized and was a wonderful experience. We did all day safari throughout the entire period and our guide and driver Haron Gashao was knowledgeable and helpful. Whenever I go back to East Africa, it will be with Haron. Thank you Haron, for making our trip memorable.

Photographer's Paradise
We have been fortunate to visit Africa on 6 separate safaris staying at many of the best lodges on offer. Kaingo rates as one of the best and one of our favourites for the outstanding photographic opportunities. Couple this with excellent guides as well as lodge staff and management and you have an outstanding safari operation. The hides provide excellent close up experiences that many others cannot provide. I have no doubt that we will return to this great location in the not too distant future

Up to the summit of Mt. Meru
We booked our hiking tour the evening before we started. Nevetheless everything was well prepared, the meals and the service was good and the transfer to and from Mt. Meru appeared without problems. Our guide was very friendly and helped us whereever we needed help.
All in all a good organised trip for a fair price.

Efficient and friendly organisers of trips in Kenya
My wife and I have used Let's Go on several occasions when we were working as volunteers in Kenya between 2007 and 2009 and now when we return from time to time. I used to visit their helpful office in the ABC Plaza on my way to Kangemi if I was looking for a few days break. They had good suggestions and were reliable and efficient in making the arrangements. We continue to use them now we are back in the UK and fhey can offer advantages over the bigger international travel agencies. We have just returned from two days in Laikipia where they handled very well the problems of transferring money to their Kenyan Bank and issuing vouchers for our stay.

Stay away from this company. Still owed a refund
I travelled as a group of 4 and booked a trek and safari trip with Peter at Africa Flash McTours and paid in full before my vacation. He never showed up for the safari trip and I was left on my own to book another tour when I was in Africa. He promised to refund me my money (a couple thousand US dollars) and after 6 months, he still has not.
There has been mixed reviews on this company on safaribookings. Im sure Peter (who runs this company) has had some good tours in the past, but there are also many many poor reviews you need to be mindful of because they are in fact true. His company is NOT registered with the tourism board and he has a history of not showing up on time, changing itinerary and cheating people their money.
For the past 6 months he has continued to say he would send the refund that he owes my group. Every week he fails to do so. He has stolen over $2000 USD from my group.
Do NOT risk your vacation with this company. Do NOT put your trust in Peter. There are so many other safari tour companies you can go with.
