My family and I had an amazing safari with Philip as our guide in Ngoronogo and Tarangire. Philip was polite, friendly and has a genuine enthusiasm for the animals that was a joy to experience. Philip is really knowledgable, both in terms of predicting how the animals will react and providing interesting facts about them. We learned a lot and got to see some wonderful animals, including lions, up close. Thank you so much to Philip and African Queen Adventures for memories my family and I will never forget. Asante sana!

Amazing 2 Day Safari for those short on time!!

We had only a short time in Tanzania and African Queen Adventures managed to organize us an amazing two-day safari adventure! The logistics with our flights to/from Zanzibar, as well as our meals and overnight stay were all arranged went very smoothly. Our guide Ben was exceptional - he gave us so much interesting information about the animals and his keen sense ensured we saw all of the Big 5 along with countless other animals. It was truly an adventure we will never forget. I highly recommend African Queen Adventures!

Perfect safari!

We had 5 day safari (4 sleep overs). It was a great experience. Especially the migration of the animals was one of the highlights of the trip. We saw so many animals. Our guides were well informed, we asked a lot of questions and they could explain us everything. They were so nice and friendly and because of them we had the perfect safari. We were traveling with kids and the kids as well enjoyed every day of the safari. We can absolutely recommend African Queen Adventures. They found beautiful lodges for us which were even better than I expected. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

My friend and I had a great experience with this company. Our tour guide's name was Ben. He was friendly and very good at spotting the animals. We visited 4 parks and he was on time picking us up in the morning. We stayed in the Serengeti for two nights, then Ngorogoro, Manyara, and Tangerie. Each day we saw a variety of animals that we wouldn't have seen if Ben didn't point them out to us. He was also knowledgeable about the country and the animals, and gave us alot of information. Booking through the company I had to wire a deposit. They have different options in regards to accommodations, length of stay, etc so you can customize it. We stayed at Mawe Mawe Manyara and Heritage Serengeti Camp. Heritage was a nice tented accommodation. I would suggest downloading whatsapp if you do not have it, so you can communicate with them in case you need anything before or during your trip. Just a heads up, some places don't have wifi. Payment is cash when you arrive. Don't forget to bring extra money to tip! Feel free to message me with any questions as well IG @agingerwithsoul

Great safari with Fadhili from AFRICAN QUEEN ADVENTURES

We spent 4 DAYS Safari with this agency. Our guide, Fadhili was great. They arranged all for us including the flights from Zanzibar and the accommodation also. We had a lot of offers but they gave us the best price but also quality. So, If you want good price, quality and Happy faces you can choose AFRICAN QUEEN ADVENTURES and ask for Fadhili.

Worth that money

We are couple from Ukraine and had safari for 5 days. Our guide was Philipe - very friendly, easygoing and well prepared & educated guy. He has a lot information about flora and fauna of Tanzania. Due to that and intensive communications with other guides he was able to find a lot of creatures both big and small so for money which we paid we received a lot of fun and impressions!

This is the absolute best worst travel company. Our car broke down thrice and we were stranded in the jungle for 4 hours till 11 pm. And our driver also didnt know the address of most of our hotels. please never ever take this sorry excuse for a travel company and you can avoid the pain me and my 60 year old parents endured over last 3 days.

Philipe our guide showed us the hidden treasures of Serengeti

We had a 3 day safari with Philip, our guide. We spent 2 days in Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro. It was amazing. He showed us the big 5 and much more. Every 3 minutes we saw something interesting. Our guide was really kind and told us many interesting infos. As he is a ranger he could show us more than an average guide. We recommend it 100%.

A perfect safari day with Philip

We really enjoyed the whole trip from the beginning till the end. Our guide, Philip was perfect, he tried everything to do us happy and it happened. We went to a one day safari only but we saw a lot of animals so we were satisfied. Highly recommend him to anybody. If we can come back once, will call him again. Éva, from Budapest

A Tanzania safari planned by people who live here

Every Tanzania safari we run starts in Arusha, where our team lives and works. We plan private routes through the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, time them around the Great Migration, and add a climb of Kilimanjaro or a few days on Zanzibar's beaches when you want them.

Because we are local, you deal with the same people from the first message to the last game drive. As a result, prices stay honest, guides know the parks season by season, and plans change quickly when the herds move. However you like to travel, browse our Tanzania safari tours or tell us your dates in the trip planner. Park fees and rules are set by Tanzania National Parks, and we include them in every price.
