Tanzania Specialist Bewertungen 

Tanzania was truly a dream come true. From the moment I was picked up at the airport to my departure, everything was perfectly organised and seamless. The accommodations were all excellently chosen, and the staff at each location were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. The food each day was amazing—even the lunchboxes included a great variety of delicious options.

A special mention goes to my safari guide, Elishita. He was an outstanding driver and exceptionally knowledgeable about every animal we encountered. His ability to spot wildlife from incredible distances was truly impressive—a skill I wish we all had! Thanks to him, I was lucky enough to see an incredible variety of animals, including the Big Five, which was a truly unforgettable experience. Elishita made my safari even more special, going above and beyond to ensure every moment was memorable. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that made the trip even more meaningful.

I cannot recommend Tanzania Specialist highly enough. I will definitely use the company again when I return to experience the dry season.

I was torn between a 2 and 3 star review because there were many positives on our 3 week trip to Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar.

The positives: Our guide was fantastic and really made the safari portion of the trip! All the people who were scheduled to meet us somewhere (like at the airport) and take us somewhere were there on time which made all the logistics manageable. Experiencing the magnificent animals in their natural habit was truly awe-inspiring.

The negatives: Communication, communication, communication. They say pole pole in Africa and that is true for anyone at Tanzania Specialists getting back to you, even when the situation calls for a quick response. Their painfully slow response time caused much frustration and stress when things had to be changed during the trip. One example is we were scheduled to finish our safari in Southern Serengeti. However, the rainy season started early this year and several guides and customers coming to Central Serengeti from Southern Serengeti told us the roads were virtually impassable, people were getting stuck for hours, and not to go there. So, we wanted to pivot our plans because it seemed silly to try and go South with the reality of the conditions, and we had to fight tooth and nail with Tanzania Specialists to make this change. It seems they would have preferred we waste hours, if not days, trying to get there and then back to Central Serengeti since that's where our plane was departing from. They finally acquiesced after much unnecessary yelling and upset, and then proceeded to book us into a lodge that was only half finished without telling us that in advance. It was completed enough that our stay was fine, but it felt like they put us there because they got a deal on the place.

Additionally, I would skip the suggested trip to Zanzibar. We went both to Pemba Island and then Zanzibar and wished we had gone home at the end of the safari the whole time. It also would have been helpful information, as a Christian, to know that it was Ramadan in the mostly Muslim Zanzibar. We were expected to adhere to their strict rules of no public drinking (not even water), eating or displays of affection between sunrise and sunset. We did a walking tour of Stone town and it was so hot I thought I was going to pass out and couldn't even sip water.

I think the pre-planning information could be much more detailed with helpful information that would have made our trip much smoother, especially for a first-time trip to Africa. One thing they don't tell you is to bring a lot of US $1.00 and $5.00 bills because the tipping doesn't stop. We only brought $20.00 bills or larger and that was a mistake.

Also, look closely at the distances between camps or lodges (if you're moving around a lot) because we spent many hours on the road just driving from one lodge to the next. Same goes for times of bush flights. Look closely and plot out the timing so you're not having to get up in the middle of the night.

Overall, it was a trip of a lifetime, but for the money we spent, we think there's definitely room for improvement.

Our Guide, Moses, was able to point out so many animals and birds. He was so knowledgeable about everything we wanted to know about. He even made sure we saw the big 5! Even when our truck got stuck for 4 hours in the mud after an evening of torrential rainfall,he was able to keep us on schedule so we didn't miss out on anything! He made sure we got the most out of our time we spent in Africa! Our lodgings were also spectacular!

We loved our safari with Tanzania specialists. Our driver Nasaro was fantastic. We loved the excursions. Seeing the different tribes and the different cultures was amazing. The lodges and meals were excellent. Especially loved Sounds of Silence staff.
We would recommend this trip 100%
Thank you Fanny for organizing our itinerary.

From planning with Raposhi to Riziki's support during the trip and Musas' expert guiding and driving skills the team built us the ultimate customized luxury safari and Zanzibar experience. One of the greatest vacations i have ever taken, you can trust Tanzania Specialist to deliver a 10/10 vacation package.

We were initially hesitant about dealing with a travel company so far from us ( we’re in Australia) , but it was this decision which made this one of the most amazing holidays we have ever had. We have been to over 60 countries, and this ties for first place with our travels to Cuba !
Our guide Frank , went over and above on our holiday, mixing a combination of relaxation and excitement in every day. His knowledge and humanity towards the people in Tanzania was top notch. His information about anything and everything we asked was met with a descriptive knowledgeable response.These people sure know how to host travellers.
If I could give it 10 stars I would. If you’re thinking about going, you absolutely cannot go past Tanzania specialists. The 5 stars rating is absolutely earned.

We had a fantastic time on our safari last September. Four Aussie’s travelling together who were very lucky to have Haji as our guide, he was the best. By day 3 we had seen the Big Five and Haji went out of his way in every way to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime, with his wealth of knowledge of all the animals and the country side into the Serengeti, it was the trip we will never forget.

Tanzania Specialist were amazing in helping me organise a safari to suit our family. Alice advised us every step of the way and was easy to contact on Whatsapp, which was great when our arrival time had to be changed at the last minute. The booking process is simple and easy to follow. Our guide, Emanuel, was wonderful, so knowledgeable and friendly, with lots of experience in knowing where the animals would be in the parks and guiding us to them. He was patient, kind, and nothing was too much trouble. The accomodation was outstanding, and we wished we had added in a rest day to stay an extra day at Best View Lake Manyara and the Sound of Silence tented camp in the Serengeti - they are so beautiful. Thank you for making a life long dream come true!

Our guide on the safari, Ricky, was amazing. Very friendly, super knowledgeable and made the whole experience great. Communication with the Tanzania Specialist team was simple and straightforward. For the most part, all the hotels they booked for us were great, and we loved our stay

Definitely a top 5 experience. Tanzania Specialists did a wonderful job taking care of every detail for a great price. All of the accommodations exceeded our expectations and our guide Nasibu was truly fantastic. 5 stars highly recommended!!

Celebrating our Honeymoon going to Tanzania for Safari and to the beach for Zanzibar was the best combo ever!
Tanzania specialist made a great itinerary for us !

Everything was simply amazing from day 1 when we were met at the airport.
Hotels and lodges were great, Stephen, our guide was lovely. Kind, really considerate and a really careful driver, concerned for the comfort of his guests. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel completely welcome. At every hotel and lodge, staff were so very lovely. Even when we had a problem with our flight out of Zanzibar, Tanzania specialists did their absolute best to rectify the situation and although the outcome wasn’t completely to our satisfaction, they did what they could and worked hard on our behalf. Our requests for assistance were answered swiftly and politely, excellent service!

Our guide Soliman was good and he took care of us well from the time he picked us from the airport till the end.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the trip. We saw lots of animals. The safari was well coordinated. Communication between the trip planners and our points of contact was good. We felt that we were safe throughout the trip. Overall, Tanzania Specialist is a very reliable company, and our trip was great.

We had an amazing trip from the moment we got picked up to the time we got dropped off at the airport. Are driver was super helpful and did his best to find ever animal my kids wanted to find. I tell all my friends about the trip. And would go back in a heart beat.
We had one problem that was before the trip had began. Had trouble getting a confirmation on are payment witch was a little disconcerting but once we got that figured out with was all good.

Great guild, was waiting for us at the airport at 4:30 in the morning. Slowed us all the animals included the crossing of the Mara River. Kept us safe the whole time. Eddie was great. On a trip like this your guild can make it or break it. He did a fantastic job. We didn't waste any time, by 7:00 we was in Arusha National Park. Lodging and food was great. On a rating from 1 to 10, Give you a 12. THANK YOU. Mike Garrett. Lewisville, Texas,USA SEPTEMBER 10, 2025
