    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!

    The safari + Zanzibar tour my family took in Tanzania in late August 2023 was one of the most memorable vacations we have had in many years. Thank you Amin for your thoughtful arrangements and care throughout before and during and after the trip. The local guide is experienced and made genuine efforts to fill our trip with many exciting sightings. Seeing the cheetah hunting and kill, the wildebeest crossing were the absolute highlights, so good that we can even ignore the underwhelming rhinos visit…
    Highly recommend Amin and this group to anyone who wants to go on a safari tour.
