    Thank you thank you thank you for everything. We had an amazing time. Ben and George were excellent. They definitely were in their comfort zone more in the Masai Mara, as they were from the area but they were great in Amboseli too. They always could read the animal behour and our car was always in the best spot! It couldn’t have been luck every time.

    Thank you also for the support last night with our flight issues. Am excited to be on our way but sad to be leaving.

    We will be recommending you to friends and colleagues in canada

    We have just said goodbye to Ben and George 😢. They were excellent

    Our Serengeti safari and Zanzibar beach holiday organized by Amin at Taaaftours.com was unforgettable. We had the benefit of an experienced guide/driver for the trips around Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crate and Serengeti – Luka was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way
    for us to see the Cheetahs, Lions , Elephants and the collection of Zebras, Gazelles, Wildebeest, Giraffes, Hippos, etc. All the arrangements for transport (safari and flights from Seronera to Zanzibar) were on time and the lodges reflected the natural surroundings of the parks – such as the Tarangire Simba Lodge where the animals came right up to watering hole near the lodge to drink the water every evening. We enjoyed relaxing at the beach to recover from the “African Massage” from the safari!

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a trip to the Serengeti with Taaaf Tours, and it was nothing short of spectacular! I visited during the rainy season in January 2024, and despite the wet weather, the adventure was truly unforgettable.

    From the moment I booked my tour, Taaaf Tours provided exceptional service. The communication was clear and prompt, and the itinerary was well-planned to ensure I got the most out of my Serengeti experience. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and landscape, making each game drive informative and exciting.

    The rainy season added a unique charm to the landscape, with lush greenery and fewer crowds. The guides knew exactly where to find the animals, and I was lucky enough to witness some incredible wildlife interactions. The accommodations were comfortable and well-situated, offering great views and a cozy retreat after a day of exploration.

    Taaaf Tours went above and beyond to make sure my trip was perfect. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine love for the Serengeti made this adventure truly memorable. I highly recommend Taaaf Tours to anyone looking to experience the magic of the Serengeti, rain or shine!
