Amazing Family Adventure!
The Miller Family · New Zealand · 04 Feb 2026

Our 3 Days Family Wildlife Safari Tanzania was an absolute hit with everyone, from our youngest to our oldest! Seeing the 'Big Five' was incredible, and the kids were constantly amazed by the sheer abundance of animals. The guides were fantastic with the children, making sure they were engaged and safe. We chose a lodge that was family-friendly and it was perfect. Top Guide Adventures really understands how to cater to families. We're already planning our return trip for 2026!

Great Wildlife, but accommodation could be better
Sarah L. · Australia · 20 Jun 2026

Our 3 Days in Tarangire National Park were filled with incredible sights. We saw so many elephants, including large family groups, and the baobab trees are truly majestic. The park is beautiful and the wildlife viewing was top-notch. Our guide was very good at spotting animals and navigating the park. However, the lodge we stayed at for the two nights was a bit basic and not quite what we expected for the price. While the wildlife experience was 5-star, the lodging brought the overall rating down slightly. We enjoyed the park itself immensely and would recommend it, but perhaps look into different accommodation options if booking a similar package.

Great Northern Circuit Experience
David R. · Canada · 13 May 2026

The 6 Days Northern Circuit Safari was a fantastic way to see Tanzania's highlights. We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and a bit of Serengeti. The wildlife viewing was excellent throughout, especially in the Crater. Our guide was very skilled at spotting animals. While everything was well-organized, we felt the pace could have been a little more relaxed in some areas. Still, a very worthwhile trip for seeing so much diverse wildlife. Looking forward to booking again for 2026!

Fantastic Day Trip to Arusha National Park!
Ben C. · Germany · 04 Jun 2026

We took the 1 Day Arusha National Park Safari last week and it was a perfect escape from the city. Despite being a shorter trip, we saw a surprising amount of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, various antelopes, and lots of colorful birds. The highlight was definitely seeing Mount Meru in the background and enjoying the beautiful Momella Lakes. Our guide was friendly and efficient, making sure we maximized our time in the park. It's a great option for a day trip if you're staying in Arusha and want a taste of Tanzanian wildlife and stunning landscapes without committing to a longer safari. Highly recommend for a convenient and enjoyable experience.

This 1 Day Tarangire Safari from Arusha was exactly what we needed! We were picked up promptly in a comfortable vehicle and driven to the park.
