The amazing tours with Rafiki Tembo Tours gave me a fantastic experience of Tanzania.
5/5

Amazing Safari Experience with Rafiki Tembo Tours! I recently had the most unforgettable safari experience with Rafiki Tembo Tours, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing team that made it all happen. From the very start, Lowassa organized everything seamlessly, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The village walk in Mto wa Mbu with Ally and Livingstone was a highlight, providing an authentic experience with insight into local life and culture. The meal was delicious, featuring 8 traditional dishes that truly captured the essence of the region's cuisine. The safaris themselves were spectacular! We explored Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Embakai Trekking, Lake Natron, and Oldonyo Lengai. One of the most exciting parts of the trip was hunting with the Hadzabe in Lake Eyasi, which was an unforgettable experience. Our guides, Athuman Simba and Mayunga, were absolutely fantastic – knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wildlife and culture, making the experience even more enriching. The food, prepared by Liberat and Ibrahim, was amazing, and I truly appreciated the authentic flavors they provided throughout the trip. A special thanks to the staff at Fig Tree Lodge and everyone involved in this incredible journey. Their hospitality and care made us feel at home every step of the way. I highly recommend Rafiki Tembo Tours for anyone looking for a well-organized, thrilling, and culturally immersive safari experience. Thank you again to everyone who made this trip unforgettable!

Good Operator, Yet need Correct Guide
4/5

Good Points
1. All mid range accomodation they arranged are very good.
2. Best payment terms - I paid more than 80% just day before starting of Safari.
3. They arranged well for my birthday - Celebrations and Gifts.
4. Prices are also reasonable.
5. Northern Tanzania national parks are amazing which will take your breath away.

Bad Experience
Our initial guide driver KeiC spoiled the trip. He has big attitude problems since beginning. Our vehicle broke down multiple times in an easy path where hundreds of other vehicles passed, he didn’t even have any clue what to do next. Luckily other Safari drivers helped over and again. KaiC arranged some one who dropped us in wrong camp. Utter confusion.
For last 2 days they changed driver, but we lost previous time which is key in Safari. Substitute driver was better, Guide Abdul is average.

Do I recommend Rafiki Tembo
Yes, but they need to improve their selection of guide drivers because customers are spending so much money for this experience, can’t afford a driver guide like KaiC.
