Excellent 6 days private safari and Zanzibar trip
Overall rating
5/5

We booked a private safari with this company and Sada our travel contact was amazing at helping us plan the whole trip including 6 days safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, ending with 3 nights in Zanzibar. The whole experience was amazing. From the lodges where we stayed, to the food, to the service we were taking care of magnificently. You must consider that this is a developing country and every thing we received is extremely luxurious here. Plus if you are in a safari you are living in luxurious tents, but they are tents, no tv, slow WiFi, no phone service, you are in the wilderness. We loved how this company had things planned and the service we received was excellent.
In Zanzibar we stayed in their newest resort Dream of Zanzibar and it was excellent.
I highly recommend this company for your private vacation in Tanzania

Tanzania is a magical country which should be on everyone's bucket list.
Overall rating
5/5

For many years we had dreamed of a safari trip and when we finally booked an 11 day holiday in Tanzania we were not disappointed.
The country is beautiful with incredible scenery and wildlife. Each day we were overwhelmed with the variety of animals and birdlife, and the guides were so knowledgeable. There is no rivalry between the companies, they all want the best experience for their guests and communicate via radios when one of the Big Five is spotted! We stayed at stunning lodges during our trip and the warmth and professionalism of the staff were way beyond many 5 star hotels in other parts of the world. To ensure your safety you are walked from and back to your lodge when dark which reminds you that there are wild animals around. When you open your blinds in the morning and discover a male baboon sitting on your veranda you know that this is not the run of the mill holiday!
We booked with Kojuu Safaris who arranged an amazing trip for us. Our guide Peter was outstanding and we will never forget his kindness and commitment to ensuring that we had a truly unforgettable safari.

A 100% wonderful experience
Overall rating
5/5

Our Tanzanian safari with the company Safari Soles was better than we could imagine. We visited the Tarangire NP Southern Serengeti NP and the Ngorongoro crater. The wildlife in al parks was stunning and we had little difficulty ticking off the big 5 and so much more.
Whilst in Tanzania we found the people to be kind and helpful at all times.
I would highly recommend Tanzania as a Safari gem and our tour company Safari Soles with Simon our excellent guide knew how to promote Tanzania to its best. Thank you.

Great travel destination, Tanzania. Chilly nice weather in Arusha with Safari trips, sunny island beach vibes in Zanzibar, urban living in Dar Es Salaam.
3 places/experiences to have visiting Tanzania.
Furaha Tours did a great job with a good guide Gamma. Saw 4 out of the big 5 during my tour of Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire & Lake Manyara.
Tanzania seems generally safe.
Machala at Kendwa beach provides great jet ski service too. Great guy

Tanzania is a stunning destination with incredible wildlife, beautiful landscapes & vibrant culture
Overall rating
5/5

Tanzania is an absolute gem for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Africa. The country offers a remarkable variety of landscapes. The Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire are highlights, where the wildlife is abundant and the scenery is simply breathtaking.
Aside from the parks, Tanzania also offers beautiful beaches, particularly on Zanzibar Island, where the clear blue waters and white sand beaches provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, making it ideal for both safari and beach experiences.
The local culture is warm and welcoming. Their traditions and way of life are both fascinating and enriching. The safety in Tanzania was never a concern during my visit, and the tourism infrastructure is well-developed, especially for guided safaris and tours.
In conclusion, Tanzania is a top-tier travel destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking to experience the magic of Africa. Whether it's wildlife, beaches, or culture you're after, Tanzania offers something for every traveler. I highly recommend it!

The safari during the daytime is fine but the food and accommodations vary quite a bit among different venders. So be sure to have your vender specify all accomodation types and locations before you join the tour. Good luck!

5 star memories for life!
Overall rating
5/5

We had an absolute blast! Please be aware that a safari tour can be tough! Long days, difficult weather conditions and sometimes it might take hours before you see some animals.

However, if you get company from one of the best guides and stay in beautiful lodges it’s all worth it! We had an amazing time with our guide Ben and we were really lucky to find all big 5 animals. It definitely helps if your guide is enthusiastic and determined to find you the best animals. Would 100% recommend to book your experience with Polecat! Thanks for everything Ben!

Countless animals in their natural environment
Overall rating
4/5

We went on a 3-day safari with Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater. The landscape was wonderfully green and countless animals grazed peacefully on the green, lush meadows. We werw lucky to discover all the Big Five and were able to marvel at all the animals in their natural habitat. It was very impressive. As December is the rainy season, it rained heavily for 1-2 hours every day.
Everything worked out perfectly. The camps were well organised and the food was excellent. The days were intense and eventful.
I recommend 3-4 days for this type of safari.
You should bear in mind that you spend many hours in the safari car and that the journey to the national parks alone is around 250 kilometres.
