Trip very well organised. Top quality accomodation, beautiful food. Tanzania specialists figured that the original, agreed, itinerary could be improved on, and suggested a late minute change, which we applied. As an example of the level of detail and aftercare TS goes through. On completion of the safari
Katia organised the shuttle that took us to Nairobi once safari completed and a TS specialist vehicle dropped us off at the bus depot in Arusha. Emanuel the guide/driver very knowledgeable and pulled all stops to give us a brilliant time and we saw the great 5.

Tanzania Specialist couldn’t have set up a better Safari for us . Our Guide Hamadu was so knowledgeable about, animals , birds , flora and fauna, the history of Tanzania. He was very respectful to us and everyone else we encountered ( even rude and obnoxious people) Kudos to him. Our stays at each camp, or Resort were perfect for the situation ( in the heart of action ,quiet relaxation or site seeing adventures) Katia Michaela was our contact and she was very attentive to our needs and set it all up for us .Thank you!! I definitely would recommend them if you want the extraordinary experience we had.

Visiting Tanzania has been my dream for as long as I can remember. Tanzania Specialist made the trip everything I could have ever imagined. From the planning with Olosotu to the daily interaction with our expert guide Dotto, it was truly a dream come true. I am an avid traveler and this was the best trip I have ever experienced.
It was such a relief to have the itinerary planned, the camps booked, and all transportation taken care of. There was not a single missed point in all of the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Tanzania Specialist to anyone planning a safari.
Thank you for making this vacation so special!

My husband and I, along with another couple, used Tanzania Specialist for a 10 night trip in Tanzania and Zanzibar. We spent 7 nights on safari, staying both in and out of the Serengeti Park. Not only was our trip fantastic - we saw the Big 5 along with 30+ other species, but Tanzania Specialist was great to work with from our first inquiry. Our questions were always answered and we were given plenty of options to make our trip exactly what we wanted it to be. Our guide, Julius, was fantastic. He made it his personal mission to make sure we saw as much as possible. Highlights include seeing leopards and cheetahs, both black and white rhinos, several Mara River crossings of zebra and wildebeests (including crocodile attacks!) and so much more. All of our accommodations were lovely, as was the staff at each one. We were all pleasantly surprised by the delicious food options too. This was a bucket list trip for us, and it was so much better than we expected. I would recommend Tanzania Specialist to anyone looking to book a safari.

Punctual, great spotting by guide Hamisi who was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Great accomodation particularly foot on Africa and Sidia.
Food very good with good packed lunches.
Cold water in truck was appreciated.
Some Misinformation about clothing needs was provided at airport but not a big issue.
God value for money.
Overall very happy and would recommend to others.

Tanzania Specialist handled everything and allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience. I can not speak highly enough about our guide Rama. He got us amazing views of all the animals we were hoping to see and was so patient in answering any questions we had.

Our entire trip was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. From the very first step of planning, everything was incredibly easy and well organized. Understanding the quotes, reviewing the itinerary, making changes, and organizing all of the details through the website was seamless. Being able to communicate directly with someone through WhatsApp was also incredibly helpful and made the entire planning process feel personal and effortless.
We loved every hotel that was chosen for us, but the property in Zanzibar was especially exceptional.
The staff there was incredible, and a special mention has to go to Atu. She went above and beyond to make our stay so special. Anytime we wanted to add a trip or excursion, she found wonderful partners and made everything so easy. The food was fantastic, the views were beautiful, and the rooms were amazing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
We then spent the second part of our trip on safari, and our guide, Stephen, was incredible. We told him everything we hoped to see—and what we weren’t particularly interested in—and he somehow made it all happen. We were extremely lucky on our very first day, but Stephen’s knowledge and experience made such a difference. He knew exactly where to take us and when, and we were able to see everything we had hoped for.
On our final day, we saw the last of the Big Five—the rhinos—including both black and white rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater. It was such an incredible way to end the safari.
Every lodge we stayed at was wonderful, the staff everywhere was kind and welcoming, and the entire trip was incredibly well organized. Stephen was not only an excellent guide but also extremely knowledgeable. Whether we were watching elephants, zebras, or any of the other animals we became fascinated with, he always made sure we had extra time to enjoy the experience.
We are so grateful for the entire trip and for everyone who helped make it so memorable, especially Atu and Stephen. We would absolutely do this trip again, and we’ve already recommended it to so many of our friends. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

From the beginning of trip planning the customer service was exceptional. We reached out to Tanzania Specialist and got an immediate response. The agent we had listened to our requests and created an itinerary that was incredible. We got paired with an amazing guide who took that extra step to make our experience even more memorable.
The service was very professional the whole time and having booked with Tanzania Specialist really made the trip worry free especially with the very booked itinerary and various accommodations and meals included. Even if we had a question, we had a team member that we could chat or call while we were there but our guide had all the information needed and kept us safe. The whole trip was a great experience!

Youssef made our experience that extra special. he was organised, attentive and managed to get us close to all the animals. There was a little confusion with the transfer coming a day early, and then being asked to pay for this error, tainted our experience a little, but overall, fantastic holiday

We used Tanzania Specialist to plan our honeymoon and it was everything I was hoping from patient iterations of the itinerary, to travel and transport, beautiful welcoming stays, and the most magical experiences of our life. It was a trip of a lifetime and made so easy thanks to Tanzania Specialist! 10/10 recommend.

The safari of our dreams comes true! The Tanzania Specialist was easy to work with customizing our dream safari to some of the most beautiful parks in Tanzania including the Arusha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks. Travel logistics, keeping personal safety a top priority, was well coordinated by our experienced guides and the Tanzania Specialist agents.
Our safari guides Charles (unknown last name) and Hassan Mussa made our dreams come true with their excellent experience in finding wildlife. Hassan especially led us to see some of the most memorable encounters of wildlife! His experience in wildlife identification and behavior was invaluable for discovering many unique wildlife scenes. On our first day of safari in the Northern Serengeti, we witnessed a major wildebeest crossing at the Mara River! Thousands of wildebeests and zebras gathered and then crossed the river in a cloud of dust! What a magnificent African wildlife scene captured by photos and videos and better than any National Geographic TV program! We also experienced a rare sighting of the elusive leopard coming out of the bush and passing our vehicle. Many other memorable encounters with the Big Five: elephants, water buffalo, lions, leopards and a rare rhino sighting made this a memorable African safari.
In addition, the landscapes of Tanzania are truly remarkable! Traveling through the vast wildlife-rich savannas of the Serengeti, the magnificent vistas from the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and its unique wildlife habitat in the caldera of an ancient volcano, the geologically remarkable East Africa rift valley near Lake Manyara, and the swamps and rivers of the Tarangire National Park made this a memorable safari adventure. Not to mention the many "African massages" on the unforgettable bumpy roads!
All of our lodging was exceptional including both the luxury camps and the hotels. There is no other place in the world where you must be escorted to your camp tent at night because of the nocturnal creatures that might be lurking nearby!
The people and the food of Tanzania are unforgettable! Our cooking class in a banana plantation near the village of Mto wa Mbu left us with a better appreciation for the everyday life of the local people. Our travels through the countryside viewing the Masai villages and learning about tribal life was fascinating!
Our safari adventure in Tanzania was truly a memorable experience designed with the help of the Tanzania Specialist team. Our group is very grateful and blessed by the time we spent on safari in Tanzania!

Communcation very very poor, several issues during the trip with no communication from Tanzania. Still waiting on refund for events that we paid for and were just never schedule by specialists. Had many logistical and schedule issues during the trip that made no sense and could have easily been avoided.

Tanzania Specialists have been amazing from start to finish. They helped put together our personalised itinerary which suited our needs, happy to make changes if needed. They were always available by wassap before and during to answer any questions. Our safari guide Davis Bugenyi was incredible!! He brought so much energy to our group, was so knowledgeable about the animals and birds and made every day fun. He had amazing insight into finding the animals in the vast wilderness, always showing respect for nature and listened and gauged our interests and needs. Every single day brought a new kind of unexpected magic. We can’t recommend them highly enough!!!
