John was our personal guide and driver for a week of safari in Tanzania. He speaks perfect English, is an excellent driver, was so careful to help us find all the best possible sightings, had an unlimited amount of knowledge about natural history, the animals and habitat, the birds, the plants ... It was amazing. He even taught us some Swahili--not just the hello/thank you... His "jeep" was absurdly comfortable and very well equipped. He brought us treats every day, and treated us like we were his special guests. We very very highly recommend your contacting John/his company to set up a dream safari. John loves showing people all the best there in his home, and he knows where those spots are. Thank you, John!!

I love this local Tanzanian company! Booked 8 day Lemosho Route to climb Kilimanjaro followed by 8 day Safari with my sister! Stayed at Pink Flamingo before and after climb plus Kilimanjaro Coffee Lodge which were both gorgeous! Summited Kilimanjaro on 8/30 and many thanks to our guides, Abu & Irene & porters! The safari combined cultural experiences through Lake Natron with the Maasai & Mto wa Mbu with the beauty of the Serengeti, Tarangire & crater! Enjoyed all accommodations plus food & African beers! Saw the wildebeest crossing the Mara River and loved our safari guide, Rama who helped us have a spectacular life affirming trip! Saw the Big 5 & really enjoyed all aspects of working with Tanzania Journeys & Seema the owner! Many thanks! Highly recommend for a Tanzania journey!

I used this company for a recent 12 day safari which included several cultural activities along the way. My driver and guide Francis Dunda, was knowledgeable and helpful and had a keen ability to locate and spot the animals! I saw tons of animals, millions if you include all the wildebeest!
I also have to say that Francis was a very safe and professional driver who seemed to know all the other drivers on the circuit, which was a testament to his friendly disposition and his collaboration with them to share intel.

Just got back from a two week trip fully organized by Tanzania Journeys. Thanks to the amazing guidance and preparation by owner Seema Shah and her experienced team of guides, our family summited Mt. Kilimanjaro (Lemosho Route) and then flew to Zanzibar for a four day beach vacation at beautiful Shooting Star Lodge. It's hard to say enough about Tanzania Journeys--we had a complicated arrival (people coming from three different locations), varied ages (21-59) and many, many questions before we got there. Seema was very accommodating, helped us find a trip that fit our budget and schedule, and helped arrange a few special additions (including two days at the beautiful ecolodge, Kilimanjaro Coffee Plantation). The equipment was all topnotch, much of it from REI, which used to partner with Tanzania Journeys back when they were doing international trips. We felt very safe during our entire climb, as they constantly monitored our health, and helped us have a terrific experience. It was the trip of a lifetime and we have Tanzania Journeys to thank! Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our 5-day safari with Tanzania Journeys. Our guide Godlisten was not only very experienced and had answers to all our questions about wildlife (and about Tanzanian culture), but was also a great driver and very good company. We saw, thanks to the know-how of our guide, more animals than we could have ever expected and slept in the most beautiful lodges. They also focus on sustainable tourism, which we like very much, and therefore brought large water dispensers during the safari to prevent using all kinds of small plastic bottles.
The organisation is reasonably priced and we had very good and personal email contact with Seema beforehand, who arranged everything so the whole trip was carefree for us (including the appointments and in-time results for our covid tests). Would definitely recommend them to anyone :)!

Seema from Tanzania Journeys planned and arranged a fabulous holiday Safari and Beach holiday in Tanzania/Zanzibar. She patiently listensed to our requests and offered suitable recommendations and suggestions. We visited Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Seronara, Northern Serengeti and Zanzibar. It was indeed a lot of driving on uneven roads but our Safari experience was top class! We saw lots of game and the migration of wildebeest. Kudos to Aggrey, our polite, kind and superb Safari guide. He was fabulous and enriched our Safari experience with his wealth of knowledge on wildlife. All the Lemala properties we stayed in were beautiful- recommended by Seema. Once in a lifetime experience for us.

Planning a trip of a lifetime to Africa and entrusting your trip to someone is a big deal. I chose Tanzania Journeys after learning they were the organization that REI used for their treks up Mount Kilimanjaro. I had several interactions with the owner, Seema, both via email amd WhatsApp. She was attentive and helped create the experience I wanted. Her team on the ground in Moshi were flawless. From the airport, to the mountain, to the safari, it was great! My guide, Rashid, on the mountain was knowledgeable and he helped me summit on the Lemosho route. Roma, the safari guide was also knowledgeable and helped us have an unforgettable journey. I would go again with Tanzania Journeys and love that they are truly interested in helping preserve the beauty of Tanzania.

We (2 friends)had an amazing trip to Tanzania where we climbed the Mt. Meru (not easy), did 3 days mountainbiking in Kilimanjaro area and spent a few days with the Masai near Lake natron. It was al perfectly organized by Tanzania Journies which we can highly recommend !! The guides (Abu and Joseph) and our cook (Salim) were all very professional. They took really good care of us and they know everything about the area, vegetation, wildlife, tribe culture, etc. And of course all perfectly supervised by Seema, owner of Tanzania Journies.

We had a great experience with Tanzania Journeys in our Kilimanjaro one day hike. Our guide, Kimbacha, was very knowledgeable and made sure we were enjoying every single minute of the hike. Hiking Kilimanjaro and discovering the different ecosystems and wildlife was a once in a lifetime experience and Tanzania Journeys was the perfect choice to make it happen.
Overall, excellent experience.
Thank you again for the hospitality.

We booked our honeymoon to Tanzania via Tanzania journeys and we could not be happier about our experience. Everything was as we wanted it to be: experience with the locals, environmentally friendly hotels, great experienced guides. Thank you Abu and Rashid for our awesome Kilimandjaro experience and a thousand thanks to Rama for the amazing safaris. Finally, thanks to Seema for being patient with our delays and available when we had questions and requests. We can’t wait to come back!
