It’s all in the family

This was a dream come true experience for us thanks to our lovely guide Stanford. He was truely one of the best guides you could ever wish for on our first time experience having a safari. One of the kindest and most caring souls who made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything at all times. He even removed the fear of lions my mom had coming on to this trip. He explained every animals behaviour and characteristics in the wild and ensured we had one of the best views to see the wildlife and be able to take amazing pictures. We were able to see almost every single animal. The itinerary was easy to follow and everything is well organised. Tanzania specialist really made sure that their guests don’t have to worry about anything. Thank you for this memorable experience and I can’t wait to come again!

Our 8-day safari in Tanzania exceeded every expectation! From the incredible wildlife sightings to the breathtaking landscapes, every day brought a new adventure. We visited amazing places including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park. Kennedy was an excellent driver and guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we had the best wildlife viewing opportunities. His ability to spot animals and share information about Tanzania made every day memorable. A special thank you to Angel at Tanzania Specialist for helping plan our trip. Angel was responsive, organized, and created an itinerary that perfectly matched what we wanted to experience. Every detail was handled smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the adventure. This truly was a trip of a lifetime! We highly recommend Tanzania Specialist and especially Kennedy as a guide for anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. We came home with incredible memories and stories.

The whole organisation was perfect from the beginning until the end. You don’t have to worry about a thing because they take care of everything. But what made it very special and unique was our guide Miraje, who made us feel like family and who we can tell he’s an expert in his work. Very professional and with a huge heart. We definitely will recommend Tanzania Specialist to our friends and family, and for sure to ask for Miraje as a guide! Thank you Miraje for this week!

This has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. Every person and every place has been a gift and pure magic. With Tanzania Specialist, we haven't had to worry about a thing, and everything has been incredible. Our guide, Erick, was very kind; we learned so much from him about the animals and the area, and he has an amazing eye for spotting animals that are hard to see—we saw them all!

Tanzania Specialist gave us a honeymoon experience that was better than we could have hoped for. We felt safe, secure, and attended to during the entire trip. It was stress free from the time we stepped off the airplane in Tanzania until we boarded the return flight to leave. Our safari guide, Hamisi Olomi, was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, culture, history, and geology of the country. He spoke great English and he taught us so many things. He made sure we had unbelievable encounters with all the animals on our list and more. The vehicle was maintenance well and we had no problems at all with travel, as Hamisi was a great driver and knew the roads in the park like the back of his hand. If you’re considering a trip to Tanzania, you’ve found the best service you can hope for in Tanzania Specialist. The lodges and camps they put us up in were extremely nice and clean, and the staff was fantastic at every stop. The food was always delicious and prepared safely. Hamisi took special care to provide plenty of water and to provide plenty of clean bathroom stops along our route so our minds could stay focused on animal viewing the entire time. Overall, it was a dream trip and it went more smoothly than I could have imagined. If you’re like me and you stress over travel, do yourself a favor and book with Tanzania Specialist to take the stress away.

Just returned from a wonderful safari in Tanzania. Wonderful experience from beginning to end thanks to Tanzania Specialists! Our guide Nick was absolutely amazing! All of the lodging was amazing and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The trip was everything I hoped for and so much more! Highly recommend Tanzania Specialists!

Outstanding safari experience with Jonas – truly unforgettable. We’ve just returned from the most incredible safari experience with Tanzania Specialist, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Our safari guide, Jonas, was the absolute highlight of the trip. From day one, he felt like a big brother — truly family. He was incredibly attentive, always made sure we were in the right place at the right time, and his communication throughout was excellent. It was just me, my partner, and Jonas for the entire week in our private vehicle, which made the experience even more special and personal. Before the trip even began, Fanny took care of our booking and was fantastic — clear, friendly, and responsive communication via both email and WhatsApp. To make things more challenging, Air France unfortunately left our luggage behind in Paris. On arrival in Tanzania, we were met by Mr Brown from Tanzania Specialist, who went well out of his way to help us get essential items and make sure we were comfortable despite the situation. A huge thank you also to Riziki from Tanzania Specialist, who worked behind the scenes to arrange for our missing luggage to be flown on a small aircraft and delivered to the local airport in Arusha — all while we were already out on safari. That level of care and coordination was truly impressive. Now for the main course — the safari itself. WOW. It was absolutely spectacular. Jonas made sure we saw everything we could possibly hope for, all while keeping the atmosphere relaxed, fun, and full of laughs. His informal banter, deep knowledge, and genuine passion made every day unforgettable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy at all times. All of the hotels and lodges were excellent, comfortable, and well chosen. This trip exceeded every expectation. If you’re considering a safari, Tanzania Specialist — and especially Jonas — will give you an experience you’ll never forget.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience using Tanzania Specialist for our recent Tanzania adventure! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organised and completely stress-free. It was so comforting knowing that all our transfers were arranged and that there was always a driver ready to take us to our next destination. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and always focused on our safety and success. They made the trek so much fun, and we loved every minute of it. Some of the highlights included watching the sun rise and set above the clouds, being introduced to our support crew through song and dance, and, of course, the excitement of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. Our support crew of porters and chef were incredible and made the journey both comfortable and memorable. The food on the trek was delicious and filling, keeping us well fuelled for the climb. After the climb, we went on safari, which was perfectly planned to fit the amount of time we had. We stayed at amazing lodges and enjoyed breathtaking wildlife sightings. We saw far more than we expected, and our guide’s expertise really brought the experience to life. He was extremely knowledgeable and always had an answer to our many questions. A standout highlight was our early morning hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti, where we spotted animals from above and truly appreciated the vastness of the endless plains. From the sky, we saw packs of lions, which we later tracked down with our guide once back on the ground-an incredibly cool experience. Ending the trip in Zanzibar was the perfect way to finish, with a mix of relaxation and culture, beautiful beaches, and well-arranged accommodations. Communication throughout the entire trip was clear and reliable, and it was obvious that the company genuinely cares about their guests and the quality of their experiences. We felt well looked after every step of the way and would highly recommend Tanzania Specialist to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro, go on safari, and enjoy Zanzibar. It was an outstanding trip we will never forget!

What an adventure! We went to Tanzania on our honeymoon and had such a positive experience! Tanzania Specialist were very adequate and professional from the start of our enquiry and we felt confident that they were the right choice for our trip. Albert from the office took a personal approach to look into all our requirements and preferences and booked us in promptly as per our wishes adding a few useful recommendations on the way. Upon arrival we were met by our key person - Frank and spent the following 7-8 days in his company - going on safaris in Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks and the Ngoro Ngoro conservation area and the crater. This guy was a brilliant guide and we had the luck to have him all for ourselves, as there were no other tourists with the same itinerary that week. Frank demonstrated exceptional competence about all species we saw during the safaris, knew his ways around the parks perfectly and his super friendly and humble attitude impressed us deeply. He is a real gem for the company! The places we stayed at were all incredible! Such comfort and authenticity everywhere - at each of the hotels and lodges and some amazing food too - especially in the Sound of Silence Lodge in Serengeti! The next part of our trip - in Zanzibar was no worse either, although rather different - after the busy days of safari, we had the chance to relax completely in the Fun Beach Resort on the coast of the Indian ocean enjoying a lovely huge pool and the perfect sunny weather. Our key person there - Ali also added to the positive experience we had - he proved as highly reliable and professional throughout our stay, accommodating all our requests promptly and with a friendly approach. Highly recommend Tanzania Specialist to anyone looking to experience the unforgettable adventure Tanzania has to offer!

We cannot say enough good things about how AMAZING our experience in Africa was & it wouldn’t have been possible without the Tanzania Specialist! From their travel agents to safari guides to lodging staff we were delightfully overwhelmed with how amazing this team was. Our travel agent helped curate both our safari itinerary and beach itinerary exactly to what my husband and I wanted for our honeymoon. They informed us about what to pack, what to wear, cultural aspects to be mindful of, specific rules of the country, arranged all our travel transfers (safari guides, airport pickups, extra excursion travel, etc.) and made the entire trip so easy. From the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we got dropped back off, the Tanzania Specialist had us covered. Our safari guide, Innocent, became a friend not just a tour guide. He was so informative about the general culture, the animals, the parks, the best places to spot animals and got us positioned perfectly anytime we spotted anything. He was very easy to communicate with, every morning he picked us up he & the truck were cleaned up and ready for action, we loved how excited he was for the adventure he took us on everyday. We hope when we come back in a few years that we can have him guide us again! You absolutely have to book the hot air balloon ride of the Serengeti, it was truly surreal and a magical way to get a totally different view of the safari. Worth every single extra penny! The specialists packed us lunches for our safaris everyday which were great! Loads of food and tons of options, each lodge’s staff were so friendly & ready to help with whatever we needed. Each lodge also did an amazing job at really celebrating our honeymoon & making it feel special with beautiful decorations in our room each day when we returned, it was so sweet! In zanzibar our room was setup with champagne & fruit plate which was so special. We really want to thank the whole team for every part of our once in a lifetime adventure and a beautiful honeymoon!
