Janeth S2024-11-09 Wonderful Experience Amazing Trip and Amazing Guide, Thank you so much to our Guide and the whole Team, we will back again for Kilimanjaro Climbing Daydream2024-09-12 Amazing encounter! A Trip to Recall! Tanzania Wildlife Adventures provided our family of five with an amazing experience. Rafael, our tour, was really entertaining, patient, and informed! Communication was easy because he spoke French and English well. At Ngorongoro, we had the good fortune to witness a rhino up close in addition to the other species.With its gorgeous white sand beaches and pristine oceans, Zanzibar was similarly breathtaking. After our safari, the hotel we stayed at was a lovely place to unwind. Visiting a local spice farm was one of our favorite experiences; there, we tasted fresh spices straight from the source and discovered the island's long history of producing spices. Zanzibar was the ideal place to conclude our journey because of its beauty and culture. John W2023-11-22 BEST EXPERIENCE EVER Amazing Trip, Amazing Guide, Nice Hotel and Food As Well, Thank you so much Yusuph for Organizing us This amazing Trip. Milena2023-10-25 Best Safari Experience My husband and I had the most exciting and unforgettable safari in Tanzania. We went to four different parks with Mansoul who knew them all very well and worked hard to show us all the animals that we had hoped to see, and many more. This trip gave me the first close up experience with a leopard and with cubs. We had made a deliberate choice to stay in top of the range properties where we could enjoy first class service and great meals. We are happy that Patrick got it right as the hotel and lodges were fabulous. If you are not sure of the company to pick, go with TWA. They are exceptionally good. Daris2023-10-19 Unforgettable Family Safari We were very happy with the trip to Tanzania. We could not have asked for a better outcome. I have to commend this team for organizing everything the trip so well; we had a good vehicle an amazing guide and a perfectly arranged itinerary. Patmos was really tuned in during the trip, nothing could go past his keen eyes. He found wildlife in places where we could not find any and that enriched our experience in a big way. We managed to see many different animals and birds. We also enjoyed the beautiful landscapes together. Back in camp Patmos would keep us company in the evenings at the Bush Tv - Camp fire with his lively stories.I highly recommend TWA and Patmos. We had an unforgettable experience. Lonut2023-10-14 Super Adventure in Tanzania We recently had an opportunity to go on safari to Tanzania organized and hosted by the wonderful team at TWA. We spent the entire tour with guide Kihori, he is the reason our trip was so fabulous. His knowledge of the circuit animals, birds, history, tribes and migration routes was second to none. We managed to see some of the best sunsets in Serengeti. They are absolutely stunning, particularly from the pool deck at Serengeti Safari Lodge. It was everything we expected and much more! Aarne8642023-10-09 Highly rewarding An absolutely fabulous trip. It all came together because of the excellent planning and preparation by Patrick at the office, coupled with the partnership with an excellent guide - Mustapha.

Katarina B2023-09-27 The most incredible vacation My family of six just got back from Tanzania where we had an incredible time. Baraka was an amazing guide. From the moment Baraka took collected us from our hotel in Moshi we immediately got to like him. He is easygoing, charming and very experienced guide. His presence enriched our trip because he knew where to find the animals, their routes, translated a lot of Swahili and Maasai between us the locals. He was there for everything! We even scored some very good bargains at the Masai market in Arusha. It would be an understatement to say that the trip was great. It was much more than that.....Definitely the most amazing safari experience that surpassed all our expectations. Oskar Bamble2023-09-19 We had a great trip in our favorite holiday destination. This was our second safari with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures and that must count for something. The level of organization, dedication and friendliness of everyone at Tanzania Wildlife Adventures is extremely reassuring. We were ecstatic to have Jason as our guide again, they had honored our request to have him with us on tour again, His service is a cut above the rest, full of life, friendly and considerate to our needs. With him we experienced the rich diversity of the people, flora, fauna and sceneries.We saw so many elephants, lions, baboons, zebras, antelopes, wildebeest, warthogs, cheetahs, birds, hippos, crocs and everything else on offer.
