Your guide to Tanzania's wonders

We had such an amazing 5 days with Tanzania Specialists. It was a private safari and we went to Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw so many incredible animals, including elephants, giraffes, rhinos, lions, leopards and cheetahs. But honestly, what made the safari really special for us were Hassan and Walter. ❤️ Hassan has an incredible knowledge of Tanzania. He could tell us so much about the animals, nature and also the history of the country. Walter is an amazing driver and has more than 16 years of experience. Since we love photography, we really appreciated how he always tried to find the best position for us whenever we saw an animal. After spending 5 days together, it honestly didn’t feel like we were travelling with our guides anymore. We ate together, talked, laughed a lot and it felt like we had known them for much longer. A big thank you to Hassan, Walter and the whole Tanzania Specialists team. We will remember this safari for a very long time! If you are booking with Tanzania Specialists, ask for Hassan and Walter if you can. We couldn’t recommend them more! 🇹🇿❤️

We had the most amazing trip, far exceeding our expectations thanks not only the excellent accomodation and routes planned, but our driver and guide George Malley was incredible and he really made our safari so so special. He gave us so much insight into the animals, but also into Tanzania and local customs, cultures and tribes - which give us much more understanding of the country we were visiting. He also knew what were the best times to spot certain animals and was a super good spotter, we saw so many animals including the big 5. We also added the balloon tour and a mountain bike ride through a local village - both highly recommended. After the safari, we went to Zanzibar. In hindsight, 5 days on a beach resort was a bit too much for us and we ended up booking a hotel ourselves in Stone Town, as the resort was very far (on the nicer side of the island) from any sightseeing spots. The only thing I would have changed in our safari itinerary is a night in Ngorogoro itself, so we could drive out early to have more chances to spot rhinos. After the incredible friendliness on the mainland, Zanzibar was a bit disappointing with people harassing us every 5 min, both while walking on the beaches as through Stone Town and getting verbally aggressive if we ask them to leave us alone. Someone literally told us to "go back to our country" after asking him to stop, after following us and calling us "sweetie". Obviously not Tanzania Specialists' fault, but to keep in mind while planning because after our Zanzibar experience we would have preferred to skip it all together - unless you plan on staying in a resort the whole time (in that case, get full board). Our booking process was a bit slow, with often 1-3 days of delay between us asking questions to our rep, Ibrahim which made us feel initially unsure about the holiday, and we at some point worried whether the company was genuine. In the end our safari was excellent - but it seems the reps are extremely busy. It would have been nice to just get an acknowledgement of our queries - even without immediate response - rather than silence as it made it us quite stressed. Overall this was an incredible trip, we had an amazing safari and highly recommend the company. They're also growing a lot and present everywhere, which gives them access to knowing the best lodges and spots.

Our experience with Tanzania Specialist was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. Everything was perfectly organized, making the entire trip smooth, stress-free, and unforgettable. We started with several amazing days on safari before ending our journey with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar, which was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. A special thank you to our guides, Sharif and Frankie. Both were outstanding and played a huge part in making our safari so memorable. Our group traveled in two safari vehicles, and we were with Sharif, so we got to experience his guiding firsthand. He was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, always taking the time to explain fascinating details about the wildlife and local culture. His passion for his work was evident every single day. At the same time, both Sharif and Frankie worked together with one goal in mind: helping our group fulfill our dream of seeing the Big Five. Their dedication, teamwork, and expertise made it possible, and we were thrilled to see all five animals. It was a truly unforgettable moment that we’ll never forget. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, from the excellent organization to the unforgettable safari and the beautiful, relaxing time in Zanzibar. We highly recommend Tanzania Specialist to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. Thank you for giving us memories that will stay with us for a lifetime!

Amazing experience with Tanzania Specialist! I planned this 2 years ago and it was definitely worth the wait! Our guide Jordan was amazing! Ask for him!!! You won’t be disappointed! Very informative, terrific eye sight for spotting animals, and just a great guy! We went luxury style and each hotel and experience was amazing! So was the food! The 4 parks we visited, for 7 days, were awesome and we had many up close and personal animal experiences! My favorites were the Lions! Dream come true! Highly recommend using Tanzania Specialist for your Safari! And ask for Jordan!

My brother and I traveled with Tanzania Specialist from May 13–24, 2026, and had an unforgettable experience. Our trip included the Meru Waterfalls, Arusha Snake Park and Maasai Museum, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro parks, plus time in Zanzibar. Everything was incredibly well organized, smooth, and comfortable from start to finish. Our guide, Makalo, was an absolute gem — such a kind, knowledgeable, and fun person to spend six days with. He went above and beyond to tailor the experience for my brother and me, making sure we had the best opportunities to see wildlife and capture amazing photos and videos. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the food was consistently delicious throughout the trip. A special shout-out as well to the staff at Sounds of Silence — they were absolutely incredible and made our stay extra memorable. May turned out to be a fantastic time to visit Tanzania: cooler weather, fewer crowds, and only a bit of rain. We were lucky enough to catch the end of the Great Migration in the Serengeti and see so many baby animals! I would 100% recommend Tanzania Specialist to anyone looking for a seamless, personalized, and truly memorable trip to Tanzania!
