An amazing Tanzania adventure – absolutely unforgettable! We had an incredible eight-day adventure in Tanzania and honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Our trip started with the eight-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Lemosho Route. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The route was beautiful, and the way the trek was planned gave us plenty of time to acclimatize properly. This made a huge difference (especially for me, having problems with higher attidutes) and allowed us to enjoy the experience without constantly feeling rushed. Our guides and the entire mountain team (our DREANTEAM) were simply outstanding. They were professional, experienced, incredibly friendly and always there when we needed them. You could really feel how much they cared about us and about making the experience as good as possible. The attention to detail (coffee by the tent while being waked up in the morning, hot water for showering, etc.) was something we particularly appreciated – even small things were taken care of, which made us feel very comfortable despite the challenging conditions. We were also really impressed by the tents and overall camping setup. And then there was the food – absolutely 1A! We honestly did not expect such great and varied meals on a mountain expedition. Every day we were surprised by how good the food was. The team really went above and beyond (hamburgers and pizza at 4000m!!). We also learned a lot along the way. Our guides gave us interesting information about the mountain, the surrounding nature, Tanzanian culture and everyday life. It never felt like we were simply being taken from one place to another – we really got to experience and understand more about the country. After conquering Kilimanjaro, we continued with a safari through several national parks. This was an amazing contrast to the mountain adventure and so much fun. We were incredibly lucky and saw a huge variety of animals in their natural habitat. Every game drive brought something new, and there were plenty of unforgettable moments. Our guide's knowledge and enthusiasm made the safari even more enjoyable. To finish the trip, we spent three days on Zanzibar. The agency organized everything for us, including the domestic flights, and everything worked perfectly. It was incredibly convenient not having to worry about transfers, flights or logistics ourselves. We had a lovely stay and also enjoyed having the option to book additional activities while still having enough time to relax. Looking back, the entire trip was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was well organized, the communication was excellent, the team was fantastic, and the attention to detail really made the difference. We felt very well looked after throughout the entire journey and always had the feeling that we were in good hands. A huge thank you to Leonard and the whole team for making our Tanzania adventure so special and unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend them and would happily travel with them again!

10 DAYS TANZANIA LUXURY SERENGETI & SELOUS SAFARI WITH SERENA HOTELS I've done countless safaris in Africa and this was the 4th time I've been to Tanzania. Tanzania Classic Tours organized the tour exactly as I wanted and, I must say, everything went perfectly. It was 5 days in the Serengeti and 3 days in the Selous for a group of 7 people. I thank Leonard Rikanga for all the work he did in organizing the tour and the prompt answers he gave me to all my demands regarding the program. I thank the guides Baraki and Gasper for everything they did to be able to find the animals we wanted to see: Leopards and Cheetahs. It is clear that I was very satisfied with Tanzania Classic Tours and that I recommend it.

It is difficult to put into words just how special this trip was. We are a family of four with two boys and spent 6 days on safari in Tanzania followed by 6 days in Zanzibar. Our safari took us through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the southern, central and northern Serengeti (which we saw from the air as well from a hot air balloon). From the long months of planning until the very last day, Leonard and Tanzania Classic Tours were simply outstanding. Leonard was incredibly responsive and patient throughout the planning process. What impressed us most was his constant can-do attitude. He was proactive, flexible and always seemed to be thinking one step ahead, with our family's best interests in mind. His choice of lodges, the route and the overall organization were excellent. We felt that this wasn't just another itinerary being sold to us — it was our trip, carefully built around us. And then there was Alibariki — "Bariki" to us. What can we say about this amazing man? Bariki was our guide, driver, wildlife expert, storyteller and, by the end of the trip, genuinely felt like part of our family. Always smiling, endlessly patient with our boys and possessing an incredible knowledge of the animals, the landscape and Tanzania. Bariki somehow knew where to look and how to find everything on our wish list. He modestly kept telling us that we were "just lucky." We don't believe him. 😊 And what "luck" we had! The Big Five, unforgettable up-close encounters with Africa's great predators, even a serval(!!), and one of the most dramatic experiences of our lives — watching thousands of wildebeest cross the Mara River while enormous crocodiles waited for their opportunity. And, as if Tanzania wanted to give us one final present, we checked one final checkbox as a group of meerkats crossed the airstrip at the very last minute, just before we had to leave for our flight. We came to Tanzania hoping for the African adventure of a lifetime. Leonard planned it, Bariki made it happen, and together they gave our family memories we will carry forever. Zanzibar was different but no less amazing and thoroughly planned, with Dolphin chasing, white sand beaches, the amazing blue safari and to top it all a skydive(!!) Tanzania Classic Tours gets our absolute, wholehearted recommendation. Don't look anywhere else! And Bariki — you may have started this trip as our guide, but you finished it as the newest member of our family. ❤️🇹🇿 Asante sana, Leonard and Bariki. Until we meet again.

I highly recommend this company for your Safari. Great people. Took such care of us. Our guide Barack was incredible. A wonderful kind man with so much knowledge. He was knowledgeable about all the roads and landmarks so he could take us to wherever the cool animals were. The guide absolutely matters. We saw soooo many awesome animals. The big five-no problem! The wildebeest migration. He’s a great driver, safe and knows the drill. I really feel we got the absolute best tour a person could get. We stayed in BEAUTIFUL lodgings. Beautiful tent camps, A couple right in the middle of the Serengeti, where you need an escort at night because of animals. All of them were wonderful, beautiful, and took good care of us. I can’t recommend Tanzania Classic Tours enough. It was perfect. And ask for Barack. He’s so good. Enjoy your Safari!

We booked a 3-week trip with Tanzania Classic Tours, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Everything was organized perfectly from start to finish. We kicked off our trip with the Lemosho Route on Mount Kilimanjaro. The entire crew was simply amazing! They made us feel completely safe and supported us every single step of the way. The food on the mountain was delicious, and the team took care of absolutely everything. The crew was super friendly and extremely flexible (they even helped us skip a camp on short notice when we wanted to!). After Kili, we went on a 6-day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti (3 days), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. It was an incredible experience! Thanks to our guide, Leonard, we saw everything: lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, hyenas, pumba, gazelles, buffaloes, gnus, leopards, rhinos, hippos, and so much more! Leonard always brought us to the best spots and made sure we got up close to the animals. Thank you so much, Leonard! To round off our trip, we spent our final week relaxing on Zanzibar as the perfect end. A huge thank you to Leonard, his entire team at Tanzania Classic Tours! This was an unforgettable experience and we highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania!

The most incredible experience - 3 day safari We had a wonderful experience at a 3 day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara, something I would highly recommend for fanilies (we had 3 kids with us and they loved it as well ) - food, lodging, planning, our wonderful guide - we felt very well taken care of from the first moment to the very last. I would love to come back for another safari to include Serengeti as well, but this shorter version was optimal for a trip with kids.. Tanzania Classic Tours has been wonderful , I highly recommend it.

Safari, tribes and coffee We did a seven day safari, including visites to the tribes, national parks and coffee farm. Ombeni was the best guide we could have wished for. He was always caring and arranging any modifications in the planning to suit our wishes. He was always smiling, showing his passion for his work and for nature. We saw every animal possible and was impressive how he knew all the roads and shared his knowledge with us. Joshua was an attentive and supportive guide, translating at all times and ready to teach us about the Tanzanian culture and answering all our questions. The best part was getting to have dinner at one of the local restaurants and visiting a coffee farm, sharing their culture, way of living and food. Feeling always welcome.

Wonderful, Impresionante. Los guías Ombeni y Joshua han sido muy amables y muy atentos en todo momento. Nos hemos sentido muy protegidos, como en FAMILIA. Además de la increíble experiencia de ver los animales , la flora y fauna ( paisaje maravilloso) en Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, compartir el modo de vida de los masais, Hadzabe, y Datoga y disfrutar de las planciones de café y banana, y la comida local, nos hemos sentido más cercanos a los tanzanos por compartir con ellos sus canciones, música, y danzas y lengua swahili. Hemos aprendido mucho . Encantados. Muy agradecida por todo. Ha sido un viaje increíble. Asante sana.
