    Thank you Amin for a memorable safari
    The trip was well organized, guides were knowledgeable and the 5 star all inclusive accommodations were beautiful with wild life around us

    Amin would also check in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly
    He even had surprise bdays cake set up for us!

    We saw every wild animal we had wished for and even a kill and wilder beast crossing

    The weather was a bit cool so dress warm if you visit the Serengeti in their winter season

    I highly recommend Taaf Tours

    My cousins and some friends had already booked a full tour with Taaaf. And I decided to join just a few months before the July trip. And thankfully, Amin at Taaaf was able to add me on to all the stays and I was able to join. It was such an amazing trip!!

    We had a very good time and the tour arranged was excellent.
    The hotels were very good, sight seeing was excellent. Our driver was full of knowledge and had lot of patience.
    The group because of their age and physical problems found one journey in Botswana very uncomfortable.
    Over all everyone enjoyed and have very good memories.
    Asante Sana

    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

    Just finished an unforgettable 6-day safari with Taaaf Tours! From start to finish, the trip was a dream come true. Our guide Luka was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, the accommodations were fantastic, and the wildlife sightings were beyond what we could have imagined. Thank you Amin, Ernest and Luka!
