cool123212025-02-08Verified Fantastic experience-again We did a safari with Real Adventure Safaris in 2010 with our then 11 and 13 year old children which had been very well organised and was a great experience. So when we decided to go to Tanzania in 2024 we of course chose RA Safaris again. And again RA met and exceeded by far our expectations. This time we traveled with our children and their partners. The itinerary was quite complex: Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Gombe Stream National Park, Dar es Salaam and Mafia Island. Included were arrivals and departures to and from different airports at different times.The whole trip was very well organised, everything worked to our complete satisfaction. All the hotels were very well chosen, always in special locations with very professional and friendly staff. Important to mention is that our driver Salehe who accompanied us through the National Parks was a very reliable driver and a very knowledgeable guide. The way he found the animals was incredible and proved his outstanding expertise. Throughout the whole trip Zeph, the owner of the company, stayed in touch with us to make sure everything was going fine. We can really recommend Real Adventure Safaris. Nicola J2025-02-04Verified Excellent Kilimanjaro adventure! I had an excellent solo Kilimanjaro trip with RA Safaris, taking the Rongai route. Excellent service (including in booking) a the team took care of me very well and did everything with heart. Guide Justin was especially brilliant, ensuring I made it safely to the top but also learnt so much along the way. Thank you RA Safaris! Lara F2024-10-13Verified Amazing trip This was already the second time we did a trip with RA Safaris, and it was again fantastic. Organisation and communication beforehand was always easy, fast and professional. We visited Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and finished the trip with the Gombe Stream National Park to see Chimpanzees. The accomdations were always really nice. The car was always clean, had several options to charge phone and camera, and had wifi. Our driver Sahlele was always postive and made us see Chitas, Leopards, lions, elephants, rinos, and many more. We even managed to see the rover crossing of the Gnu. Chase L2024-08-25Verified The best option for a once-in-a-lifetime Tanzania safari We were recommended RA Safaris by a friend as we were planning our trip to Tanzania, and we could not be happier with our experience. It was important to us that our tour company was locally owned and operated, and we felt this enhanced our experience and also brought authenticity to our time in Tanzania.The itinerary that RA put together for us was highly personalized based on what we were interested in seeing, including Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Arusha National Park. Zeph was very patient and consistent in his responses to our many questions as we worked together to plan our trip. He presented us with firsthand, insider’s knowledge about where to stay and what to see to maximize our experience. This was especially important as my wife was pregnant during our trip, and we didn’t know this when we originally made arrangements with RA Safaris. Zeph went the extra mile to modify our reservations and make us confident that she would be comfortable, safe, and healthy on our safari. We thoroughly enjoyed all the lodges and campsites that Zeph arranged for us, making our experience on safari extra special without breaking the bank.Our guide on safari was Johnson, and he really made our experience unforgettable in the best way. Johnson was professional and friendly, and he always made sure to focus on showing us what we were interested in (mostly wildlife). Johnson had a thoughtful response to every question we had, and he anticipated our every need (very important with someone pregnant on safari in remote locations!). He clearly had experience with a diverse range of travelers, and his stories and knowledge entertained and informed us. We are so glad we had Johnson to guide us through our time in Tanzania.And the wildlife we saw was absolutely stunning. As a wildlife biologist, I have been fortunate to see amazing wildlife all over the world, including in Eastern and Southern Africa. I am confident that our trip was the best wildlife viewing I’ve ever had. We saw everything on our list and more: elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffe, rhino, diverse birdlife. And we were fortunate to witness two river crossings as part of the famous wildebeest migrations (make sure to hit up northern Serengeti in August for that!). Johnson was skilled at finding everything we wanted to see, and he was knowledgeable to provide answers for even the most esoteric wildlife questions.Overall, we can’t recommend RA Safaris enough to anyone looking to have a memorable, meaningful time in Tanzania. They presented us with a range of options to personalize our trip, and I’m sure they can cater to anyone, from the budget traveler to someone looking for a more luxurious experience. We look forward to the next time we get to travel through Tanzania with RA Safaris. Asante sana, RA Safaris! Megan W2024-07-25Verified Great trip Great and friendly guides, always willing to answer our questions and amazing food. They made our trip unforgettable! Verity H2024-07-24Verified Amazing group of people that looked after us on my school trip to Tanzania! I went to Tanzania on a school trip in July 2024. We were so nicely and helpfully looked after and catered for by RA Safaris. The trip went so much smoother thanks to them and the safaris were excellent because they pointed out all the animals to us! (Even the ones that were harder to see) I would 100% recommend them for solo and family trips - they were just a lovely group of people that I would like to meet again in the future. Meredith M2024-07-06Verified A+++ travel experience (with small kids!) with RA Safaris I cannot recommend RA safaris highly enough. They may not have as snazzy a website as some of the other tour companies, but I promise you that traveling with this locally owned and operated (and thus supporting locals!) travel agency was one of our best decisions in our most recent trip to Tanzania (June 2024). Some friends of ours used RA Safaris back in 2015 and said we MUST use them. Their prices are really competitive but most importantly, their customization and attention to detail was superb. Zeph, the owner of RA safaris, personally ensured our satisfaction throughout the trip. Eli managed all of our trip logistics/planning in advance, and Johnson, our onsite tour guide, could not have been better.My husband and I traveled with our two young kids (6 and 7) and Johnson was so, so good with the kids. He paid more attention to the kids than to us, which I LOVED. Our trip was a mix of high-end lodges (e.g., Gibbs Farm) and tented lodges, and the itinerary put together was so smooth and such a nice mixture of options and accommodations. They accommodated all requests. The safari vehicle was in great condition and we had everything we needed while on safari. When our little kiddo needed to go to the bathroom while deep in the Serengeti, Johnson knew all the (unmarked) backroads to get us to a hidden lodge to find a restroom. He knew ALL of the other guides and was intimately familiar with the terrain, which is essential in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The information delivered about the flora and fauna was delivered precisely, with accuracy, yet wasn't overwhelming. Johnson gave us plenty of space as a family. The trip was exciting, yet we felt safe and cared for the entire time.All food was amazing, both at the lodges and on the road when on safari. When we were picked up from the airport, Zeph and Johnson met us outside with a small picnic of fruit and fresh coffee. Their service was impeccable. When we go back to Tanzania, there is no other company that we would consider.Thank you to Zeph, Johnson, Eli and the rest of the RA Safaris team. We wish you the very best!!!

GTJ20152024-03-30Verified Can't Recommend Highly Enough! Highly recommend!!!The entire team at RA Safaris is incredible!We've used them for 2 different safari expeditions through East Africa, and each time has been absolutely spectacular.Their reservations team works diligently during the planning process to make sure that you get the experiences you're looking for, and their safari guides are consummate professionals, as well as amazing wildlife spotters and naturalists.We've visited some of East Africa's most iconic destinations with RA Safaris, including Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and more. I don't know if I'll ever be more impressed anywhere in the world?!? We'll be back! Sandrine C2024-03-01Verified Kilimanjaro and Perfect Safari We climbed Kilimanjaro in 7 days via the Machame route.A magnificent experience, ra Safari organized everything from the airport to the summit.The guide spoke French fluently and the team of 21 people was really friendly, caring and dynamic!A very nice experience.We then did 4 days of safari with another equally excellent French-speaking guide.A local agency to recommend.Communication between the agency and us was done exclusively by email and in English.Load more

My friends and I have been out with RA Safaris twice now. We did a 5 week trip back in 2013 and a second 2 week trip in 2018. We absolutely LOVED both trips. Our guides were so kind and knew just where to find the best wildlife, the accommodations far exceeded our expectations, and the food was delicious! Both trips were hassle free and we loved that once we arrived we did not have to plan a thing. Everything was done for us and we could just enjoy Tanzania and everything it has to offer. I would, without hesitation, recommend RA Safaris over and over again to anyone going on safari in East Africa! We can't wait to go back for the third time.
The best true safari experience. More affordable than you think! Email them your dates and ask for an estimate. It's easy and we will use them again. Highly recommended. Jambo!
As a breeder of exotic animals & as the editor a it has been a pleasure getting to know the owners of WildDale I just like the way they were taking care!
