The experience in each corner, in an organized way and accompanied by local guides, has meant that each place will exceed all expectations. 100% recommendable!! Ellaine J2023-12-15 An adventure of a lifetime! From the moment we set off, the excitement was palpable. This 5-day safari not only fulfilled our wildlife dreams but also exceeded our expectations in every way. The majestic landscapes, incredible wildlife sightings, and the warm hospitality of Tanzania made it an unforgettable journey. Our encounters with the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos—were nothing short of mesmerizing. The expert guidance of our safari leader ensured we didn’t miss a moment of the wildlife action. Our accommodations were delightful—comfortable and nestled in nature. The evenings were filled with captivating stories around the campfire under the starlit African sky, making our safari experience even more memorable. Our guide’s wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, ecosystems, and local culture enriched every moment of our journey. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety throughout the safari. For anyone seeking an immersive and awe-inspiring safari experience, this itinerary is an absolute must!"

Thank you Sensation of Africa and we recommend this to anyone who want to visit Tanzania. dimitrisdimitris2022-11-23 Very nice experience with the best driver/guide! It was a last moments decision to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar. From the first moment we talked with my guide, John, and the way he handled everything, I knew I can trust him and be sure of everything. We plan the whole trip together, cutting and adding places/activities and John was always ready to make everything possible, until the final program. Unfortunately it was a bit of a budget safari, but planned with care and everything went as perfect as it could be. I owe a big thanks to John for this trip, not only for making it possible and as good as it could be, but also for being such a very good company. Thank you John and Sensation of Africa! you have my respect and of course I highly recommend you to all who want to visit Africa and plan a safari. Hope all the best for you!

SERGI S2022-09-07 Todo es posible en Africa! Increíble experiencia en Africa de la mano del mejor guia. John nos a enseñado los rincones de Arusha y los mejores paisajes, animales y puestas de sol de Tanzania. Fredy S2022-07-28 Last minute booking; and everything was perfect. We were looking for a Safari in Serengenti and ended up last minute booking 5 Days Safari with Sensation of Africa, although we did the booking late but they were able to put everything in place the way we wanted from the lodge selection and the Safari Car was perfect. We saw a lot of animals than expected and we definitely enjoyed everything and we would recommend to anyone. Thank you everyone at Sensation of Africa. Igor C2022-07-07 VIAJE TRANSFORMADOR Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. Somos una familia con tres niños y realmente ha sido una aventura transformadora. La emoción de descubrir la naturaleza de la mano de John a través de tres safaris no la vamos a olvidar nunca. MUY RECOMENDABLE. Organización impecable y mucha flexibilidad para poder adaptar el viaje al ritmo y energía de los niños. Steina H2022-06-16 Honey moon inolvidable Fuimos de luna de miel con mi mujer y todo salió perfecto. Hicimos Kenya y Tanzania. Lo organizamos desde España y desde el principio la comunicación con John fue perfecta, nos pasó el planning dónde añadimos alguna cosa sin ningún problema. Una vez allí disfrutamos muchísimo de los 2 países dónde los 2 guías que tuvimos (Bernard i John) estuvieron perfectos: muy profesionales y atentos en todo momento. Al final nos fuimos unos días a Zanzibar a nuestro aire y aún así, John nos ayudó en lo que necesitamos. Sin lugar a duda recomendable 100%. Siempre habíamos querido hacer un Safari pero superó nuestra expectativas. Un viaje inolvidable.
