It was a wonderful reminder of how incredible and wild the African landscape can be. Great Safari with Professional Guide of Tunaenda Safaris! We contacted Victor of Tunaenda Safaris a month and a half before our trip to Tanzania in order to book ourselves a safari trip. Jackson was very communicative and answered all our questions and wonderings. We checked a few Safari operators in Tanzania and decided to go with Tunaenda Safaris (which had the best "value for money"). We wanted to book with a locally owned tour operator, and we couldn't choose better than Tunaenda! From the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport, Jackson and his team helped us with everything we needed - took us to the ATM whenever we needed, helped us get ourselves a local SIM, arranged great day trips, and booked us accommodation in Arusha (at a lower price than we saw online). We went on a 7-day safari trip, which was tailor-made to our preferences and the sights we wished To see (and we saw!!). The Safari was an amazing experience and met all our expectations and more. All 6 days were well organized, and everything worked according to the plan we had. We got to visit 4 national parks and saw a wide variety of animals. The accommodations were great and were chosen to meet our budget. The vehicle was in great shape, spacious, and well-equipped. While we were on safari, Victor from the office in Arusha kept in touch with us and made sure everything was ok. Yona, our guide, was very knowledgeable, and we were constantly amazed by the amount of knowledge he had about the wildlife. Yona is great at spotting wildlife and forecasting the scenario, which led us to view some amazing sightings. We were very pleased to have him as our guide, and he was constantly interested in what we would like to see and accommodated the Game Drive accordingly. We were also lucky to see the great migration while the herds of wildebeest crossed the Mara River (more than once!!), and it was a lot thanks to Bernard's patience and familiarity with the behavior of Animals and the place. I highly recommend using Tunaenda Safaris as your Tanzania Safari Organiser. You won't regret it!

The Rhythm of the Great Migration We loved every second of our safari experience with Tunaenda Safaris. They took care of every logistical detail, from beginning to end. What made the experience even better was our amazing tour guide Jimmy. He was kind and made sure to go out of his way to accommodate our needs throughout the trip. Expertise: Jimmy was a professional top-notch guide, he was able to spit facts about any animal or landmark we asked him about along the trip. I don’t think there was anything he didn’t have an answer for. It made the trip super entertaining and informative and we really appreciated the animals and area more due to his knowledge. He also was able to spot animals with a naked eye that we needed binoculars to properly see and would take us a while to find even with the binoculars. Thanks to his miraculous spotting skills, he helped us spot over 50 lions, 08 rhinos, and so many more of the Big Five. Intuition: there were so many times throughout the trip where we weren’t sure whether to move on or to stay at a current stop. Jimmy had a great intuition when it came to this. For example, we spotted a cheetah from afar and after a while we wondered whether we should stay or leave. Jimmy suggested we stay because it looked like the cheetah had spotted some gazelles nearby and we might see her hunt. Not only did the cheetah end up with a successful hunt but we were also able to see her come closer to us and see that she had four little cubs with her! It was an unforgettable sight. Professionalism: Jimmy was always punctual and on time and he was always early and waiting us patiently even when we showed up late or had to change our meeting times. The safari Car was always cleaned. Additionally, he is a very skilled driver with an extensive experience in driving in difficult terrain which was very obvious throughout our game drives in the rough terrain. He was thoughtful to slow down when there are many other safari cars nearby to avoid excess dust come at us. Accommodating: all of the accommodations Tunaenda Safaris set us up with were amazing. We were comfortable in every lodge and hotel. Our guide Jimmy was also very accommodating. We’re muslim so he made sure to stop in a private and safe place for us to pray at certain times during the day. He also asked us for feedback on how the drive was going and was really good about keeping us comfortable throughout the bumpy Serengeti roads! In sum, I cannot properly explain what a wonderful, once in a lifetime experience our week with Tunaenda Safaris and our tour guide Jimmy was. It was nothing short of miraculous. Every day was a new and different adventure and the beautiful gems we saw throughout the trip will forever stay with us.

My experience in Tanzania was truly memorable. We are finishing an all-inclusive 6-day private safari (2 people) with Tunaenda Safaris through Tarangire, Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater, and Lake Manyara — and we managed to see the Big Five! Lions (male/female, and cub), elephants, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceroses, all on the same trip between the different parks! That alone says a lot about how well organised everything was. Our guide, Nelson, made the experience even more endearing. He always drove very safely, was kind and attentive at all times, and also kept an eye on other drivers on the road. But most importantly, he managed the timing perfectly. We arrived at each viewpoint just as we needed to, never missing the right view because of arriving late or because it was full of cars. That reliability is not common and it made the difference; Nelson is very collaborative with other guides and is attentive to the radio call at all times, so everything worked perfectly. The food was another of the great successes. All the meals were hot and freshly made, meat with rice, vegetables, and always delicious and of clear quality, even in the middle of the park! We also really valued that the itinerary was adapted to the day. On mornings when traffic or distance required it, we left early at 6:00 AM to ensure we didn't miss anything. On quieter days, we had relaxed departures at 8:30 AM. Nothing was rigid or generic, it felt tailor-made for us. We totally recommend Tunaenda Safaris, and if you can, ask for Nelson as your guide! An unforgettable trip from beginning to end.
