Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania!Memeable experience in Tanzania - We had an incredible time exploring the beauty of Tanzania, and this trip will stay with us forever. The accommodations were exceptional—each hotel had its own charm and elevated our experience. Lemala and Melia offered unforgettable views and warm hospitality in the heart of the wild. Zuri Zanzibar was a tropical paradise, and Park Hyatt Zanzibar gave us a luxurious end to the journey with its elegant design and perfect oceanfront location.
A special thanks to Pendo, who was always responsive, supportive, and helpful throughout our planning and the trip itself. Her quick replies and attention to our needs gave us peace of mind.
One small suggestion for future travelers: book activities in advance, especially for special experiences like walking safaris. We had hoped to do a walking safari in Serengeti, but were told we could book it along the way. Unfortunately, it was unavailable on the day we arrived. Luckily, we managed to do one in Ngorongoro instead, which was still amazing, but it would have been better to secure the Serengeti activity in advance.
Our driver, Dismas, was excellent—very responsible and dedicated. He really went the extra mile to help us spot animals and made sure we had the best game drive experience possible. Although our 4x4 had a minor issue with the pop-up roof, he tried his best to fix it. It would be great if the vehicles could be checked more thoroughly before each trip.
Overall, it was a wonderful journey filled with adventure, wildlife, and unforgettable landscapes. We’ll definitely return for another safari experience in the future!

What an experience! - We had a wonderful trip (10 days safari and 4 days Zanzibar), totally spoilt with everything (accommodation, food, drinks and sightings) and wonderful hospitality. Booking was made very easy with quick replies to our numerous enquiries from Pendo. She kept us informed all the way, managing our group of 5 form 4 different countries. Nothing was too difficult, so it made planning the trip a breeze. Payment was also very flexible, as some of us paid by WISE whilst others by bank transfer.
When we arrived in Killimanjaro, we were met by Dismas - our guide for the next 10 days. We saw lots of animals - some up close and personal especially prides of lions (a few times). Most spectacular was a couple millions of flamingos at Lake Natron - an unforgettable sight.
A great shout out to Dismas and Said (our guide in Zanzibar), both wonderful guides. Said in particular , was a walking historical encyclopedia and such a gentleman.
I would recommend Tales of Tanzania anytime!

Exceptional safari experience with Tales of Tanzania - We completed our safari tour with Tales of Tanzania in September and then some R&R in Zanzibar. We had an amazing time on our safari, excellent accomodation and our tour guide Dismas made special effort to make our safari memorable, I cannot forget seeing 2 million flamingoes on Lake Natron, pride of lionesses with their cubs playing, wildebeest crossing the Mara river and massive number of hippos in hippo pool. A special mention for Pendo who has been so helpful, responsive and accomodating to cater to our requests and needs. You are a star and we appreciate your efforts in making our trip special especially in Ngorongoro crater, the Gran Melia’s views and experience was special. Thanks Tales of Tanzania for my bucket list trip so special. Highly recommended A+++++++

A truly amazing and memorable safari with Tales of Tanzania Safaris. - Pendo and Tales of Tanzania Safaris made the booking process from Australia very seamless. Pendo was very prompt in responding to my queries and designed a safari around our needs and desires. Everything she did was professional and friendly. Peter our guide was amazing. He knew everything about people, animals, history and cultures in Tanzania. He went the extra mile to ensure our safari was memorable. From finding all the Big 5 for us to driving us at 4:30am to our hot air balloon adventure over the Serengeti. I highly recommend Pendo and Tales of Tanzania and encourage you to use them for your first or next safari. You will not be disappointed.
