Incredible trip!
Overall our trip was amazing and Tanzania is incredible! Unfortunately our Representative was very difficult to reach (would usually take a week to get back to us) and our Guide wasn’t very knowledgeable and didn’t tell us much, which precludes us from giving this 5 stars.

A dream became true
We booked this amazing trip on our own, with the kind and professional support of Tanzania Specialist. In the end, everything went perfectly, even better than we had expected!
We enjoyed every moment of our vacation. During the safari, our guide and driver, Dotto, was exceptional. He helped us spot the Big Five, along with many other animals and breathtaking landscapes we had always dreamed of seeing.
The organization was flawless, and all the accommodations where we stayed exceeded our expectations. The staff at every location made us feel completely at home.
Moving on to Zanzibar, we found a true little paradise, exactly what we had been looking for.
In the end, we can only thank Tanzania Specialist for helping us fulfill a lifelong dream. We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know!

Our 9-day trip to Tanzania with the family was extraordinary. We visited three parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our driver did his utmost to get us as close as possible to the Big Five while ensuring our safety. We saw them all, some even multiple times. From there, we went to Zanzibar, where everything was also perfect.
A fantastic holiday.

Our driver Shaban was incredible
Our driver Shaban was incredible, he was very friendly, sweet and compassionate he knew his way around very well, and was an excellent driver. Communication was also very good.
I’m taking one star out just because the car seemed a bit dated, some of the windows won’t open, and we noticed that other cars from the same company offered free WiFi on board but our car didn’t, it would’ve been nice to know about that option before and have it available.

Dear Kinda and Samer,

We’re delighted to hear that Shaban made such a positive impression during your safari. His friendliness, compassion, knowledge of the routes, and excellent driving are exactly the qualities we value in our guides, and we’ll be very happy to share your kind words with him.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the vehicle. We’re sorry that the condition of the car and the windows affected your experience, and we understand your disappointment about not having Wi-Fi available. Your point about being informed about this option beforehand is also well taken.
We’ll share these comments with our operations and fleet teams so we can continue improving both our vehicles and the information provided to our guests before their safari.
Thank you again for choosing Tanzania Specialist. We hope the wonderful memories created with Shaban will stay with you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back to Tanzania in the future!

5-day private safari with migration
We did a 5-day private safari with Tanzania Specialist. Joshua was a great guide and we were able to see the great migration across the Mara river in the Northern Serengeti as well as seeing all the big 5 and much more. The accomodation options were all wonderful, with really kind hosts. Don’t hesitate to use Tanzania Specialist to make your itinerary - it was a trip of a lifetime!

Unforgettable holiday.
From welcoming us on the airport to saying goodbye was an unforgettable experience. All the drivers was excellent. Ramadan was our guide, driver and became a friend. His driving skills on difficult dirt roads and hectic traffic with crazy drivers and silly motorbikes were impressive. Ramadan made our holiday unforgettable, he was calm, friendly and you could ask him anything. Our accommodation was great. Moon bow lodge was a highlight, the staff there was exceptional. Our first stay was too far from the airport. After long flights you don't want to drive another hour in the dark to accommodation. The accommodation was far from everything and we were there for two days. We thought you can walk into town when we booked. Recommend to guests when they make the mistake that I did, that it would be better to move on after the early flight around Kilimanjaro. Wich I will recommend ,it was fantastic .we feel we waisted a day. That was the only negative feedback which is minor. The rest of the tour was excellent planned and we all had an unforgettable experience. When we had a request for a vehicle to pick up friends for an airport drop off, the reply and help was promptly and very helpful.
We all will recommend Tanzania Specialist . We are already planing to come back when our grandson turns 10. Thank you so much for a wonderful unforgettable holiday. It was a privilege to visit your beautiful country. May God bless you all until next time.

Dear Charlainne,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt and detailed review.
We’re delighted to hear that your holiday was unforgettable from the moment you arrived until we said goodbye. It’s especially wonderful to know that Ramadan was not only an excellent guide and driver, but also became a friend during your journey. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him — his calm nature, driving skills, and willingness to help clearly made a big difference.
We’re also very happy that you enjoyed the accommodations, with Moon Bow Lodge standing out as a particular highlight, and that our team was able to assist promptly with your additional airport transfer request.
Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the first accommodation. We completely understand that after a long flight, an additional drive in the dark can be tiring, and your suggestion about moving on after the Kilimanjaro flight is valuable. We’ll certainly keep this in mind when advising future travelers.
Most importantly, we’re thrilled that this small inconvenience did not take away from the overall experience and that you enjoyed the itinerary and the beauty of Tanzania. Knowing that you’re already thinking about returning when your grandson turns 10 is the greatest compliment we could receive!
Thank you for choosing Tanzania Specialist and for recommending us. We look forward to welcoming your family back and creating another unforgettable adventure together. Until next time! 🙏🏽

By far the BEST trip of our lives
By far the BEST trip of our lives! Its preparation and organization was not easy at all as we did have a lot of ambition and requests for TANZANIA SPECIALIST and they (Eunice - our very best agent!) accomplished every single one of them with admirable ease and dedication... I just have amazing words for these people... Outstanding were our local choices for housing that absolutely overpassed our expectations, AMAZING experience with local food and life for the whole trip among the people... We had a BLAST with our safari guides Mathias and Amadeus who were absolutely WONDERFUL to and with us; we can call them FRIENDS today as well as our gang at SIMPLY, our tanzanian lodge! What a BRILLIANT human experience! The warmest welcome and stay making us feel at home since we arrived, as adding surprises and extra loving services with no requests made. WHAT A JOURNEY, my people... Please, do this with TANZANIA SPECIALIST before you die...
Much, much love to our people and y'all. D

Dear Deb,
What an incredible review to receive — thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are absolutely delighted to hear that your journey turned out to be the BEST trip of your lives and, even more importantly, that it became such a meaningful human experience.
We know that creating a trip with so many ambitions, requests and special expectations is no small task, so your wonderful words about Eunice mean a great deal to us. We will be sure to share your appreciation with her. Her dedication, patience and commitment to bringing every detail together are exactly what we hope our travel consultants provide, and we are thrilled that she was able to make your vision a reality.
It is also fantastic to hear that the accommodation choices exceeded your expectations and that experiencing local food, culture and everyday Tanzanian life became such an important part of your adventure. For us, Tanzania is not only about spectacular landscapes and wildlife, but also about the people, traditions and genuine connections that make a journey truly unforgettable.
And what a special mention for Mathias and Amadeus! We are so happy to know that their knowledge, warmth and personalities turned your safari into something much more than a game drive. The fact that you now consider them friends is perhaps the greatest compliment our guides can receive. Please know that we will happily pass your heartfelt words on to them.
Your experience at Simply Serengeti camp sounds equally wonderful, and we are delighted that the team welcomed you with such warmth, care and those thoughtful surprises that made you feel at home. These personal touches are what transform a great holiday into a truly memorable experience.
Thank you for trusting Tanzania Specialist with such an important journey and for sharing your enthusiasm so generously. Your words will certainly bring a lot of happiness to Eunice, Mathias, Amadeus and everyone behind the scenes who helped make your adventure possible.
We hope Tanzania has left a permanent place in your hearts and perhaps one day, our paths will cross again!

Adventure of a lifetime
We have just returned from an epic holiday/adventure that was carefully curated by Tanzania Specialist.
To start, our travel consultant Joseline was extremely patient with us, especially as it involved a lot of changes over a period of 6 months. Then a friend of mine decided to join us at a later stage(on the 12th hour) and Joseline managed to match his itinerary as closely to ours as possible, despite lack of availability. The properties were all fantastic, please see separate reviews of the properties to be posted later.
On tour, we had round the clock help from our ground support Riziki and Janeth, who were readily available to answer any queries or issues we had during our trip. The only issue we had was that our internal flights were changed by the airline, but this was managed and communicated very effectively.
Finally our kids' heroes (our guides between two families): Nashiri and Kaana who collectively made our trip one of the most memorable trips we have had. Nashiri, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about pretty much everything we could see from wildlife to trees to landscape. And his explanations were detailed yet very engaging. Kaana, my friend's guide, was equally engaging and knowledgeable with abundance amount of energy. Through their teamwork, we managed to see 3 of the big 5 on the 1st day of our safari, followed by the river crossing on the second. It wasnt too long before we saw all big 5 and eventually a black rhino at Ngorongoro. By end of our safari we had fully ticked our wishlist.
Over all, despite Tanzania Specialist being such a large organisation, we felt personally cared for at all times and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.

Dear Pinank,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt review of your “Adventure of a lifetime.” It is truly wonderful to hear that your journey with Tanzania Specialist was not only carefully organized, but also felt personal and well supported throughout.
We are especially grateful for your kind words about Joseline. Planning a complex trip over six months, with several changes along the way, already requires patience and attention to detail, and accommodating an additional traveler at such short notice while trying to align his itinerary with yours made it even more challenging. We are delighted that Joseline was able to make this work despite limited availability and that the final arrangements came together so well.
It is also fantastic to hear that our ground support team, Riziki and Janeth, were readily available throughout your journey. Knowing that you felt you had someone to turn to whenever you had a question or concern is extremely important to us. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the changes to your internal flights. While airline schedules are sometimes outside our direct control, our responsibility is to communicate changes clearly and work quickly to minimize any disruption, so we are pleased this was handled effectively.
And then, of course, Nashiri and Kaana! We are absolutely delighted that they became your children’s heroes and such an important part of your safari experience. Your description of Nashiri’s knowledge of wildlife, trees and landscapes, combined with his ability to make his explanations engaging, is exactly the kind of guiding experience we strive to provide. We are equally happy to hear that Kaana brought the same enthusiasm, knowledge and energy to your friend’s family.
Seeing three of the Big Five on your very first safari day, experiencing the river crossing on the second, and eventually completing your Big Five wish list including the incredible sighting of a black rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater sounds like an exceptional safari! These are the kinds of moments that stay with you long after returning home.
Most importantly, your final comment means a great deal to us. Tanzania Specialist may be a large organization, but we never want our guests to feel like just another booking. We want every traveler and every family to feel personally cared for, supported and listened to throughout their journey. Knowing that you experienced exactly that is one of the greatest compliments you could give us.
Thank you once again for trusting us with such an important family adventure and for recommending Tanzania Specialist to your friends and family. We will be delighted to share your wonderful feedback with Joseline, Riziki, Janeth, Nashiri, Kaana and the wider team.
We hope this will not be your last adventure in Tanzania, and we would be honored to welcome you and your families back again in the future.

Everything went smoothly
Everything went smoothly, when there was an occasional glitch with the jeep due to the bad roads Remy managed to sort things out so we were not inconvenienced and we also received a text from Janeth to check that we were happy with the safari. The accommodation was excellent. The only thing I would like to have been different was the seating arrangements for the meals. I would have liked us to have been seated with other travelers so we could share experiences

Amazing experience thanks to our guide!
We travelled through tarangire, manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and had an unbelievable time thanks to our guide Jonas. His knowledge, conversation and experience meant we had so many amazing experiences, seeing over 70 lions, 10 chetahs, 3 Rhinos, and 5 leopards, not to mention hundreds of elephants, hippo's and giraffe and thousands of zebra, wildebeest and gazelles. He seemed to have a sixth sense for finding everything we wanted to see and generally when there were hardly any other trucks around. He was an absolute pleasure to meet, completely made our trip and made us feel safe across the whole week. Thank you Jonas!

Our incredible driver/guide Wilson made…
Our incredible driver/guide Wilson made our experience one we will never forget. He was the best guide we have ever had on any tour we have done anywhere in the world.
Angel was excellent and very helpful throughout the process and the organisation overall was first rate.
There was a mix up with our Stonetown tour starting in Zanzibar but I believe that was a simple miscommunication between Tanzanian Specialist and Destination Specialist TZ.
Acommodation exceeded our expectations with one exception which fell well below the service we experienced in all other lodges. Enkutoto lodge was very disorganised and disappointing with service. The staff were friendly enough but really seemed to have very little understanding of what they should be doing. Payment for the extras we consumed while staying was made very difficult with the electronic payment system having "broken"the day after we arrived and the only method left to pay was in cash. This meant we were left with no cash for the rest of the safari tour.
This did not spoil our expereince but certainly we would not recommend any of our friends to stay in this lodge.
Overall with only one exception, Enkutoto Camp, I would highly recommend Tanzanian Specialist to our friends and family

We will be sure to share your kind words with him and with Angel, who will also be very happy to know that her support contributed to a smooth planning experience.
We are also pleased that your accommodations, overall organization, and safari experience exceeded your expectations. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience at Enkutoto Camp, particularly the disorganization and the difficulties you faced when settling your extras. We fully understand how inconvenient it was to be left without sufficient cash for the remainder of your safari, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will certainly share this feedback with the relevant team for follow-up with the lodge.

Beautiful Tanzania !
We spent a fantastic 7-day safari through 4 beautiful parks. The organisation was spotless from day 1.
We had a great guide, Emmanuel Swai, knowledgeable, always helpful and safe driver.
Choices of lodges were good even if quality was differing from one to another.
We had only our iPhones to take pictures... good enough !
