Unforgettable
We booked with Tales of Tanzania for our safari honeymoon and it did not disappoint. Pendo and her team were very responsive in the planning process and worked with us to create an itinerary. We must have gone through almost 10 different itineraries before it was finalized and each version was done promptly with kindness. The planning process could not have gone better.
When we met up with our driver, Dismas, we knew we were in good hands and had made a great decision! He was extremely knowledgable and was flexible to our needs and schedules. We didn't feel any pressure one way or another and similar to the planning process were presented with options and facts to make the best decision for what we wanted for our trip. We feel incredibly fortunate that we were able to see all of the big five and a river crossing in the north! Dismas' instinct was unmatched and we often went a different way from other companies and it always seemed to pay off with an incredible animal sighting.
Going with a smaller, local tour company provided us with greater customization both in planning and throughout our trip. In speaking with other guests at our camps, it was clear we had made the best choice!

I chose this tour operator because they immediately understood what I wanted. The safari was perfect. Everything went according to plan. All our requests were answered within minutes. The prices are very good. I will book with Tales of Tanzania Safaris again.

Charles was a fantastic tour guide, he accommodated to our needs in our safari adventure.
Going on safari with Tales of Tanzania is like being in family. They will meet your needs and adjust the schedule upon your request.
The owners are constantly communicating with the guide to be sure all is going as scheduled.
Our guide was fantastic.
Our safari dreams came true.
Thank you my Tanzania family!

A very memorable experience.
Our Tanzanian safari was a very memorable experience and we highly recommend it. Pendo from Tales of Tanzania was extremely prompt and helpful in planning our itinerary and accomodating our needs. Gilbert ‘Bobby’, our very knowledgeable guide and highly skilled driver, was absolutely fantastic. He was determined for us to see cheetahs and leopards, which we missed on our previous safari in Botswana.
We have recommended that the vehicles be upgraded but aside from that, it was a wonderful safari adventure which we will always remember. We highly recommend!
pretty good

Best tour operator ever - totally spoilt us in every way
We had a wonderful trip (10 days safari and 4 days Zanzibar), totally spoilt with everything (accommodation, food, drinks and sightings) and wonderful hospitality. Booking was made very easy with quick replies to our numerous enquiries from Pendo. She kept us informed all the way, managing our group of 5 form 4 different countries. Nothing was too difficult, so it made planning the trip a breeze. Payment was also very flexible, as some of us paid by WISE whilst others by bank transfer.
When we arrived in Killimanjaro, we were met by Dismas - our guide for the next 10 days. We saw lots of animals - some up close and personal especially prides of lions (a few times). Most spectacular was a couple millions of flamingos at Lake Natron - and unforgettable sight.
A great shout out to Dismas and Said (our guide in Zanzibar), both wonderful guides. Said in particular (as you mentioned) was a walking historical encyclopedia and such a gentleman.
I would recommend Tales of Tanzania anytime!

Efficient, exceptionally responsive, great communication and organisation
We had an 8 day safari with Tales of Tanzania in September and then a short trip to Zanzibar. This has been a trip on our bucket list and all communication has been excellent and prompt from Pendo. She is been amazing in accommodating our requests. During our safari, our guide Dismas made every effort to make our trip special, our highlights were we saw the most amazing flock of two million flamingoes, a pride of lionesses with their cubs, male lions up close 5 feet away and the amazing wilder west river crossing. All our accommodation was very comfortable, the Melia at Ngorongoro was breathtaking with stunning views. I highly recommend Tales of Tanzania if you want to do this special trip, I thought their pricing was very competitive for the type of accommodation we had and we were very happy. Thank you Pendo and Dismas for an amazing time, A+++++

Professional with very personal touch.
Pendo made note of all our requests and made sure that our trip was memorable for all the right reasons. She was very prompt in replying to emails and messages.
Given the fact that the trip was planned late for the peak season visit she has still managed to get us a very good accommodations and got us a very good driver guide. Who knew where to be and when.
Really a good value for money

Excellent choice for customized Safaris
If you want to book one of the standard packages, I think any tour operator is fine. However we had many customizations we needed to make to our itinerary. We wanted to stay with specific lodges and we needed to shuffle the ordering of visiting them due to our flights. Pendo was excellent in working with us through each of our requests, and she managed to do it in a tight timeframe after our original flights needed to be changed. We managed to have an excellent time in Zanzibar and Tanzania
