Africa Safari Review: Tanzania, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Zanzibar

This Africa travel company planned and organized a two-week safari and beach trip in Tanzania. My wife and I visited Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park, followed by five days on the beach in Zanzibar. 

I am very happy with the safari/beach trip which this company prepared. The service provided prior to the trip was excellent. The team at this travel company is extremely responsive and professional. I exchanged dozens of emails with them and always received a prompt and informed response. They know the market extremely well and I am glad to have chosen them. Our travel company also provided great advice regarding the locations to visit and how long to spend in each place given the time of year. The camps they selected during the safari were intimate, luxurious and very well-run. The hotels in Zanzibar were also very nice (not to mention a welcome respite after being on safari for a week!).

At the outset of our safari the owner of Amani Afrika met us and showed us our vehicle which was had a refrigerator filled with plenty of water and beverages for our trip. He checked to make sure we were happy with everything and introduced us to our guide.

This guide has 12 years of experience as a guide, is  exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife, and has a very friendly personality. Most importantly for our trip, our guide had a great eye for spotting things that other guides seemed to have missed. We trailed five young male lions solely because our guide recommended that we do so and soon after watched them take down a fully-grown male buffalo!

I would recommend this company and guide to anyone planning a private safari to Tanzania.
