Everything about this company was truly amazing, from the planing stages to the return to the airport. Voomi was responsive and planned our entire trip up Kilimanjaro and out to Zanzibar. The hotels, both in Arusha and Zanzibar, were incredible! We can not say enough about our guides and porters. They were knowledgeable, kind and extremely supportive. Our food was hot and fresh. We even noticed customers of other tour companies watching our experience in awe. We will recommend Tanzania Expeditions to absolutely everyone we know.

Les 6 jours de safari passés avec notre chauffeur et guide Joseph de la société Tanganyika Expéditions restera gravé dans nos mémoires. Joseph n’est pas seulement un conducteur respectueux des codes, des animaux et de la nature, c’est également un excellent guide avec une large connaissance de la faune et la flore qui nous entoure qu’il partage bien volontiers avec ses hôtes dans un français excellent. Il est à l’affût de tout animal et n’hésite pas à parcourir la savane de long en large pour nous faire vivre des moments exceptionnels. Au-delà de cela, il est un excellent compagnon de voyage doté d’un très bon sens de l’humour qui s’est intégré très facilement à notre joyeuse petite bande de six 🙂 Ambiance garantie dans la jeep ! Nous sommes conscients que ce voyage n’aurait pas été une telle réussite sans la coopération de Joseph et le sérieux de sa société. Nous le recommençons les yeux fermés !

We had an amazing five-day safari with Tanzania Expeditions. We visited Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our driver, Peter, had a sixth sense for finding wildlife. We saw every species that we hoped to see, including leopards, cheetahs, and black rhinos. Our cook, Obedi, made excellent meals and was able to accommodate special dietary requests. Our trip organizer, Vummy, made everything run smoothly.

We booked through Tanzania expeditions the climb of Kilimanjaro, as well as a five-day safari. Already during the booking we had a lot of support to find the right offer for us. We were picked up on time at the airport and everything worked out wonderfully. For the climb, our material was checked that we are well prepared. Everyone was very nice and we were informed at all times about everything. Omary was our guide for the climb of Kilimanjaro and his assistant Mamuya. Both did absolutely great and we felt safe at all times, especially because they speak really good English. Also the cook Yohana has cooked wonderfully and we have felt at any time in good hands. The tents and also otherwise the material is very high quality. Thanks to our two guides we managed to climb Kilimanjaro. Afterwards we went on a five day safari with our guide Peter. He told us a lot about the wilderness, the parks and the history of Tanzania. He also speaks super English and is a great driver. We felt safe and comfortable with him at all times. He has a great sense of humor and gives clear instructions when they are needed. Yohana was also there as our cook. Again, we were treated to culinary delights every day. It was a wonderful trip, very-well organized with great guides. Asante sana! Christine & Mathias

Amazing experience and trip of a lifetime thanks to Tanzania Expeditions. Vummy was amazing in the months leading up to the trip and answered all of our (many) questions promptly and professionally. Nothing was too much trouble.
We started with climbing Kilimanjaro and cannot rate our guides and porters enough. Our two guides Omari and Daniel were amazing. Their knowledge of the mountain was unrivalled and they made us feel comfortable and safe from day one. They were also just lovely, friendly travel companions. Some of the camping equipment (e.g. tents) could use a little bit of TLC, but this was no big deal and certainly didn't take away from the trip. There are no words really for the porters. They work so hard and always find the time to give you a smile and words of encouragement (whilst carrying 20kg of luggage on their heads)! The chef also managed to provide us with delicious meals all the way up the mountain - I'm not sure how! This is mentioned in other reviews, but you will honestly want to leave big tips for all of the team and should factor this into the cost of your trip.
Tip - it is worth paying for the private portable toilet. Having a private and clean loo outside your tent when you need to go in the middle of the night is worth every penny.
We then went on a 5 day luxury safari with our guide, Peter. The accommodation that we stayed in was amazing, especially in the middle of the Serengeti with zebras outside of our room! Peter was very experienced and went out of his way to make sure we saw the best of everything. Peter was calm and knowledgeable, but most of all hilarious. He was guided by what we wanted but also made suggestions on how we could make the most of our trip and see all of the animals we wanted to (which we did).
Huge thanks to Vummy, Omari, Daniel, Peter and all of the porters. We had two trips of a lifetime in one!

Our experience was outstanding, starting with our initial interactions with the salesperson, Vummy. She was very responsive and organized a great trip.
We did initially the Kilimanjaro hike followed by a 4-day safari.
The Kilimanjaro hike was challenging, but our guide ( Matumaine), sub guide (Salim) and the whole team were always there for us and were instrumental in being able to make to the summit. The organization was flawless, and everything was spot on.
Our safari was amazing. Our driver/guide (Emmanuel) went out of his way so that we would see as many different animals as possible. We visited 3 great National Parks.
I would recommend Tanzania Expeditions without any hesitation for either safari or Kilimanjaro hike

We booked our Tanzania Safari in 2019. Then Covid hit and it set us back a couple of years because of prior commitments. Vummy, the sales agent was top notch to deal with. She assured us our deposit was safe and would still be applied to our safari. I gave Vummy a few perimeters that I wanted for the safari and she really came through. She met with us once we got to Arusha and told us our driver would be Peter and he would pick us up the next morning. He was out front early and ready to go. He was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and our whole group seems to click with him. We were on a 9 day Safari and he earned every penny we gave him in a tip. We paid him extra as he deserved it. Vummy met with us after the safari to address any concerns or problems that we had. It is important to them the customer has the experience they signed up for.
If your thinking about a safari, please consider Tanzania Expeditions and go through Vummy to have her set up your individual needs and ask for Peter, as your guide. You won’t be disappointed.

Our Safari tour in Tanzania with tour guide Philipo Momo was amazing! He gave us a lot of information about animals, was really passionate about his work and really entertaining and understanding. We highly recommend him! Il parle très bien français et anglais! (And more)

I had contacted numerous companies but chose to go with Tanzania Expeditions because of Vummy and the good reviews. The price was also marginally better than other quotes I received. Just be aware that payment with a credit card will incur a fee of 4 % which I did not know when I paid the deposit. Bank transfers are free.
Vummy's is very good at her job, her response time is excellent and she is full of good advice and suggestions. Due to some clever changes in the itinerary, Vummy managed to get me the lodges of my choice. She planned a 4-day Mrt. Meru trek and a 6-day luxury safari for us. Airport and safari transfers were great and well managed. We stayed at the African Tulip in Arusha at Vummy's suggestion which is a lovely hotel-clean, with nice staff, and a great breakfast.
Mt Meru trek-well organized. Peter our guide was great, Godfrey our chef was excellent and he cooked amazingly tasty food and even baked a special birthday cake on the mountain! All the porters were amazing, in particular, Joshua who volunteered to accompany us and carry our water on the summit day. The only minor negatives were the waiting around for a ranger to accompany us at the start of the trek (which was not in the company's control) and the pick-up being delayed at the end of the trek which could have been managed better. Vummy was very clear about the tipping process which was very helpful.
For the safari, Peter was our guide and driver. He was wonderful, knowledgeable, and great company. The safari vehicle was in good condition.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tanzania expeditions and will definitely use them again.

Nous sommes en plein safari et je me rends compte que la réussite d'un tel voyage en Tanzanie dépend totalement du choix de votre chauffeur/guide. Vous passez la plus grande partie de vos journées dans une voiture avec lui. Par chance vous nous avez envoyé une perle. PHILIPO MOMO est incroyable. Il est gentil ( comme toutes les personnes que nous avons croisées en Tanzanie, ) il est très très fun, il s'adapte à vos demandes mais si vous lui laissez carte blanche comme nous ( parce que nous n'avions pas d'impératif ) vous vous eclaterez. Il connaît tous les parcs par coeur ( nous avons fait et à faire, les parcs Arusha, tarangire, lac manyara, Serengeti et ngorongoro ) mais est aussi un passionné des animaux sauvages dont il connaît les habitudes. Ainsi nous avons vu des scènes incroyables, il ne nous dit rien à l'avance mais quand on voit plusieurs 4x4 partir dans une direction et nous dans une autre, il y a très souvent une bonne surprise à l'arrivée. Il n'impose rien et peut se montrer discret mais si vous portez un peu d'intérêt, il est ravi de vous apprendre quelques mots en swahili et de partager les habitudes de Tanzanie. Nous le recommandons vivement aux autres voyageurs.

A question for past visitors: Were you apprehensive when you paid? The wire instructions I was given shows the recipient bank account is an individual and not a company owned bank account. The person I've been communicating with is using a gmail account and not a company email address. Perhaps I'm being paranoid?

In the abstract, we would have been a bit apprehensive, wiring thousands of dollars to a bank Tanzania. But my son had previously dealt with Tanzania Expeditions with no problems. Actually, the only glitch in all of this resulted from Wells Fargo's insistence upon a particular format for a mailing address for the bank to which we wired the money. This resulted in a short back and forth with Justin from Tanzania Expeditions, plus an additional visit to the bank. But this really was no big deal.

Hi, based in your experience, do you think 4 days safari at Ngorongoro is enough time to enjoy the scenery and see the big 5?
Venture753913
3 inlägg
It was for us. You want to let your guide know that you want to see the “big five”. The hardest to see is the leopard and rhino up close. The ngorogoro crater is the best place to see a rhino, but there are no guarantees. The guides communicate with each other by radio to let each other know where there is a good viewing.

I’ve ended up with a week or so that I could travel to Tanzania at the end of November. I’m curious to know if anyone has gone on a safari in November and what there experience was? Will I be missing out on a lot by not going during the Migration? I also would be traveling alone and wonder how safe people felt on these tours.

Not sure about the November weather but I don’t think seeing the migration is the end all be all. You’ll see so many wildebeests and zebras it won’t matter. After going I think I would go by myself but you could also ask if they have a spot on one of their other vehicles

Bonjour,
Nous sommes 4 adultes et projetons de faire un safari dans les parcs du nord de la Tanzanie de 3 ou 4 jours au départ de Zanzibar en octobre prochain.
Nous souhaiterions savoir si cela est possible avec un budget de 800 euros par personne. Nous avons conscience que c'est un petit budget mais est ce faisable et dans quelles conditions. Merci

Hi, I'm thinking about doing the 5 day luxury package. I wanted to ask a couple of questions about the package and overall experience. First, my family and I are a group of 4 and we want to know if it would be plausible for us to have our own private Jeep and guide for the safari experience. Second, in terms of the safari, do the guides plan in a flexible manner so that we can see the animals for where they are at the current time or do we stick to one game trail and hope to see animals there?Third, in reference to the Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp, I wanted to ask about the location of the restrooms and showers. Answers to these questions would be highly appreciated. Thank You

Hi there - my first advice is to GO to Tanzania, incredible place. First question - I did not do a luxury package, I was only a single traveler and even I had my own jeep and guide so I think that is a given for you. Second question - the guides do use a flexible plan based on time of year and what the animals are doing that day. All the jeeps have a radio system in them that the guides in the park communicate to each other on. For example a cheetah was visible 2 of the days I was there so my guide knew that by hearing it on the radio and we rushed over. In general though the guides are REQUIRED to stay on the main roads so there is no flexibility there. If they are caught off road by the rangers they will be barred. But the game park is HUGE so the manner in which you travel over the main roads and when/where you travel them is completely flexible. Third question - I was in the tented camps. The showers, toilets and sinks are in a common building structure fairly close to the camp. For example the furthest I went in one of the camps was about 50 to 100 ft away. I will also caution though that the camps have no barrier or protection from the animals in the park. They are generally safe but there was one night we had a pride of lions 1.5 miles away and my guide cautioned that night to try to not get up in middle of the night to use the bathroom that night. And that night they did indeed kill a buffalo on the other side of our camp. Overall thrilling experience but you need to be prepared for being right in the middle of the game reserve with all the natural habits of the animals around you. It was INCREDIBLE experience for me so I recommend it on all levels!
We are vegetarians, and is the meals during expedition also palatable for us? Thanks : Usha

Hi Usha,
My wife and I are also vegetarian. You just have to let Justin know your dietary requirements and the chefs will then cook you appropriate meals. We had a great time and ate very well!
Enjoy!

Hi, I'm thinking about doing the 8 day Tanzania Lodging Expedition. It seems like a lot of non-safari driving each day. Curious to hear your experience.
for instance in the intenerary it as quite a few "Non – game viewing time : 3 – 4 hrs"
Thanks for your help and feedback!

There is travel between the parks and from Arusha. i think that's what he's referring to. I didn't find any unnecessary trips. The game drives were excellent! Overall I was very satisfied with Tanzania expeditions. Hope that helps!
