Bucket list safari experience
5/5

I am a solo traveler and booked a group joining safari with Tanzania pilgrimage. I was nervous at first with it being a new company with not many reviews but all my fears turned out to be unfounded. Not only, did Novatus answer all my numerous emails he personally picked me up from the airport on my first day in tanzania. Out of all the safari companies i reached out to on safaribookings i chose Tanzania Pilgrimage because Novatus was never pushy or rude in his responses about a quote. The safari overall was excellent, i saw all the animals that i wanted to see, the food was always good and the accommodations with the exception of one was great. The group I was placed with were lovely people and I enjoyed their company. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another safari with them if i’m ever in tanzania again.

Excellent, super friendly and service above and beyond!
5/5

This is my first time visiting Africa and booked a 4-day Safari with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris starting from Arusha. Coming from Australia, it is a long way away and I had almost no African experience, nor knew what to expect. Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris were excellent in every way. When booking the tour, they were extremely responsive, courteous and thoughtful, accommodating to my questions and needs, tailoring the experience for me regarding where I wanted to visit and appropriate accommodation for my budget.
They were also able to arrange seamless pickup and drop-off for me from my Kilimanjaro airport to my hotel, and the next day pick up from hotel by a highly experienced Safari guide for my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt safe and welcomed throughout.
Lastly, and most extraordinarily, my departing flight out of Kilimanjaro airport was cancelled and was re-scheduled to an earlier flight which didn't work for me. I was notified in the middle of my Safari and not speaking Swahili nor know who to contact, I needed urgent help. Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris was able to communicate to various airlines on my behalf and ultimately re-accommodated me to a flight that worked for my itinerary. This was done free of charge with utmost professionalism at a time that was highly stressful for me.
Their safari prices are also good value for money, but ultimately their responsiveness, reliability and professional + friendly service makes them the most excellent company I've toured with.
Highly highly recommended.

Perfectly planned and friendly!
5/5

We had such an amazing Safari experience in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater thanks to Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris! We had no issues, everything was planned smoothly by Joel, the homemade food by Pasco was delicious and we saw the big 5 during our 3 day game drive thanks to our driver Eli. We couldn’t have had a better experience, the value for money is unbeatable!

An exceptional company to go with.
5/5

When we decided we wanted to do a safari we were unsure where to start really.
We are world travellers but had never done a safari so weren’t sure what to look for.
When we stumbled across Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris we thought ‘why not’ this one.
And we were so glad we did.
From start to finish everything was just how we hoped it would be.
We initiated a conversation with Joel the tour rep.
From that moment on it was all plain sailing.
The communication was excellent. Any questions we had were answered promptly and as well as what we needed.
We chose the type of safari we wanted which was 3 nights 4 days.
We chose what level of comfort we wanted as well! The accommodation surpassed what we were looking for.
As the days got closer to our safari Joel was in contact even suggesting hotels that we may want to book.
Joel came to see us at our hotel the day before so he could explain everything.
They even stored our other luggage until we returned.
On the day we were due to leave John, our tour guide came to our hotel to pick us up.
That man was a true fountain of knowledge! He knew all there was to know about everything safaris related. No question was left unanswered.
He could spot animals that we all thought were rocks!
The whole experience was truly amazing and 💯 perfect for us.
Value for money? We were unsure what to expect for what we paid but we can honestly say that what we got was exceptional.
The accommodation on route was top notch.
We had water and soft drinks to have in the jeep.
The only extra money we spent was at some pit stops along the way for coffee etc. Or beer at our accommodations.
Our lunches that we had over our 3 days were supplied by the accommodation we stayed in the day before.
They did not disappoint.
We went to lovely viewpoints to have our lunches.
You won’t go wrong if you use Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris.
They are professional and very good at what they do.

Honestly, this tour with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris has been very good and fantastic. The communication was smooth, the service was reliable, and the whole experience was well arranged.

Our tour guide was especially kind, patient, friendly, smart, and hardworking. He always paid attention to us, took good care of everyone, and made sure we felt safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the trip.

Wonderful and Well-Organized Safari Experience
5/5

I had a fantastic experience with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris. The overall customer service was excellent, and the team was professional and helpful from start to finish.
A special thanks to our guide Julius, who made the safari truly memorable. They didn't just ensure we saw plenty of wildlife, but they also took great care of us as clients. They were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the environment and the animals we encountered along the way.
The entire trip was wonderful, from the smooth organization to the delicious food. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure!

Reliable, good communication and great lodging
5/5

We chose Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris both because of the route and lodging but mainly because of good communication, where our wishes and questions were heard. And through out all the time Yohanes kept following up to make sure everything was fine - and it was. We stayed at really nice tented camps with good service. The best part was our guide Joel, who knew so much, saw the animals long before us and was really nice to be around. So all in all - a fantastic tour!

precise, efficient, and highly reliable, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free
5/5

Joel was very responsive from the very first contact and immediately started working with us to design a safari that truly matched our needs and expectations. He always replied quickly and with great courtesy.
Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations, also thanks to the excellent organization of the safari by Joel and Fazil, our guide. We were very happy with the lodges we stayed in, especially during our time in the Serengeti, where the tented camp was absolutely stunning and far beyond what we had imagined.
Fazil was an exceptional driver: we managed to see all of the Big Five as well as many other animals. He was always happy to accommodate our wishes and even adjust the itinerary when needed. For example, we visited the Olduvai Gorge (which I highly recommend), and Fazil reorganized the schedule and timing perfectly. Besides being a very knowledgeable guide, he is also a wonderful person. We shared many enjoyable moments together, and the trip was enriched by a genuine sense of friendliness and good company — which is really important when you spend most of the day in a car with other people.
All in all, I would highly recommend Pilgrimage Safari to anyone planning a safari.
