Disappointing

1 / 5 1 /5
Our car had an electric problem with the charger on the second day but the guide could drive it. On the third day of safari the guide left us at an information station at 10 am telling us that he would fix the car and disappeard for more than 4 hours, wasting our time and Safari. We were alone, not knowing what was happening and very scared. After asking for him to several other guides who were on site, we were able to locate our guide.
Then came the worst !!! We went in our car without repairing to the Lodge and soon to travel to the North Serengeti.
The guide drove like crazy, we saw several animals on the way, including a rhinoceros a few feet from our car, but he did not stop and said we would see lots of animals in Northern Serengeti in the following days !!! And got lost because he did not know the place !!! For five hours we were driving in circles and the guide didn't want to admit that he was lost. We arrived at the Lodge around 10:00 p.m. because we begged
Read more him to ask for information from a car from a local company that passed by our car, luckily ours. We have to remember that it is totally forbidden to do excursions or safari at night and we were very lucky to have seen the headlights of this car!
The next day, he didn't tell us that the car was broken and that we could not do the Safari. We communicated with the owner of Quest Horizon, who only then organized a new car and another guide. We missed the whole morning to go to Safari! The new guide only stayed with us that day and the other day another car was organized and a new guide arrived almost 2 hours late !! We lost almost 3 days of Safari and had lots of wear and stress.
The owner got us a flight to try to make up for so much lost time and we went to Lake Manyara which has practically no animal. It was the minimum that he could do!
We were very sad to lose so many days in such wonderful places in Central and North Serengeti.

Tanzania is a magical country which should be on everyone's bucket list.

For many years we had dreamed of a safari trip and when we finally booked an 11 day holiday in Tanzania we were not disappointed.
The country is beautiful with incredible scenery and wildlife. Each day we were overwhelmed with the variety of animals and birdlife, and the guides were so knowledgeable. There is no rivalry between the companies, they all want the best experience for their guests and communicate via radios when one of the Big Five is spotted! We stayed at stunning lodges during our trip and the warmth and professionalism of the staff were way beyond many 5 star hotels in other parts of the world. To ensure your safety you are walked from and back to your lodge when dark which reminds you that there are wild animals around. When you open your blinds in the morning and discover a male baboon sitting on your veranda you know that this is not the run of the mill holiday!
We booked with Kojuu Safaris who arranged an amazing trip for us. Our guide Peter was outstanding
Read more and we will never forget his kindness and commitment to ensuring that we had a truly unforgettable safari.

Truly one of the best experiences

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Tanzania, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. From the breathtaking landscapes to the warm and welcoming locals, every moment was extraordinary.

The highlight of my trip was exploring the national parks, especially Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti was surreal—thousands of wildebeests and zebras moving across the plains, with predators lurking nearby. The safari guides were knowledgeable and ensured we had the best chance to spot the Big Five.

Mount Kilimanjaro stood majestically in the distance, and though I didn’t attempt the climb this time, just seeing it was inspiring. The beaches in Zanzibar offered a perfect contrast with their white sands and turquoise waters—ideal for unwinding after the adventure-filled safaris. We swam with wild dolphins and got to explore the beautiful coral embedded with thousands of marine life.

The local culture
Read more was another highlight. Visiting Maasai villages and learning about their traditions and way of life was both humbling and enriching. The people of Tanzania were incredibly friendly, always greeting us with a smile.

The weather was warm and pleasant in most regions, making it easy to explore. As for safety, I felt secure throughout my journey. Following local advice and using reputable guides made all the difference.

If you’re a nature enthusiast or someone seeking a mix of adventure and culture, Tanzania should be at the top of your list. I can’t wait to return someday!

Unforgettable experience with Commiphora Africana Safari

5 / 5 5 /5

We had an incredible experience travelling from Kilimanjaro Airport to the Namanga border. Everything was perfectly organized by Jackson, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the trip without any concerns. Our guide, Hussain, was exceptional, making the journey truly unforgettable as we spotted numerous lions, leopards, and other breathtaking animals. By the end of the trip, we had witnessed so many stunning sights that we decided to put our cameras down and simply savour the experience.

We wholeheartedly recommend Commiphora Africana Safari to all our friends and family.

We had beautiful 3 days in safari and relaxed another week in Zanzibar after. Very happy we did safari first because you need some time to rest afterwards. Recommend to visit Serengeti and Ngorongoro, fantastic places!

We had an amazing time on our safari in Tanzania. We visited Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro! We went in March, so it was off-season, and it was incredible. We only got rain 1 day, though rain was predicted for several. The weather was warm and sunny most days, hot and sunny one day, and rainy and cold one day.
The wildlife we saw was incredible. We didn't go during the migration, but we still saw so many amazing animals and tons of babies! We didn't see predator activity (possibly too hot), but still did see predators. We didn't get to see Crocodiles or Leopards on our trip, but many people we met said they saw leopards! We were jealous.
The people were lovely. Very welcoming and always willing to help out. The roads were dusty on dry days and a bit bumpy, and windy to Serengeti and Ngorongoro (take meds if you get motion sickness!). But, our tour truck provided cushions on the seats and that helped so much. Hardly noticed the rough conditions most of the time.
We want to go back!

The safari in Tanzania was amazing!

The safari experience in Tanzania was an incredible experience! I was traveling with my mother inlaw and at all times we felt safe and well cared for. All the accomodations were very nice, the camping in 'tents' was definitely more like glamping. The rooms were always clean, beds were comfortable.
The food at all the resorts was delicious with several options,
and all the staff were so gracious, friendly, and helpful! We had so many enjoyable interactions at each stop.
We saw all the wildlife we were hoping to see and then some.
Our guide, Jaffari, did a great job of making sure each game drive was successful.
He was so knowledgable about the animals, plants, culture; we really enjoyed
our adventures with Jaffari.
I highly recommend going on safari in Tanzania, you will not be disappointed!

We have just returned from a fantastic safari in Tanzania (Nyerere tented camp). The overall experience was amazing. From the minute we landed in the bush we we very well taken care of with excellent food, accommodation, transport and tours. I did not expect to be able to get so close to the animals. The safari itself was exceptional. The people of Tanzania are very friendly and are always willing to help. I would not hesitate to go back again and would encourage anyone else thinking about it to try it.
