Arusha Trips organized a wonderful safari for us with a super friendly guide who took us to the best spots. The accommodations were top-notch. What an amazing experience. Communication during the organization is handled smoothly in Dutch, and the locals know how to guide you like no other.

Great travel agency! We had a tailor-made honeymoon. With everything included. Clear information beforehand. And good guidance from the guide! We would definitely choose Arusha Trips again for our next trip.

Successful honeymoon! We had a wonderful tailor-made honeymoon thanks to Arusha Trips! Everything was discussed in advance via email, and we received clear information. At the location itself, there were great guides and accommodations. Everything was perfectly arranged! With a special thank you to Hector, our guide for the 9-day safari. With so much experience and knowledge, he showed us the most beautiful sights in the national parks. A fantastic trip. I would definitely book with Arusha Trips again and recommend it to others!

In August 2026, we booked a private family trip through Arusha Trips for our family (2 adults and 2 children aged 12 and 15), consisting of 8 days of safari and 6 days in Zanzibar. Even before the trip, contact with Arusha Trips went wonderfully, allowing us to create the perfect itinerary together. All the parks we wanted to see were included, and regarding the accommodations, we received many options and suggestions, allowing us to choose the ones we wanted to take. All the accommodations were truly top-notch, especially Tukaone Tented Camp and Tarangire Simba Lodge. Here, you really got the feeling of the movie Out of Africa. Close to and among the wild animals! The first day was a nice relaxing day in Forrest Hill, enjoying the pool, a beautiful view of Mount Meru, and also many beautiful birds in the garden. The second day was in Arusha NP, including a walking safari, which was absolutely amazing and brought us very close to many animals. The third day was at Lake Manyara, our first time face-to-face with elephants. We took a 2-hour canoe trip here, which was a wonderful experience with beautiful views of the park, where global warming is also very clearly visible. After that, three days in Serengeti National Park, which really is the most beautiful thing you can see; so much stunning nature, those kopjes, those vast plains, and of course, all the animals. Lions, leopards, giraffes, hyenas, cheetahs, wildebeest, hippos, elephants, vultures, zebras, just to name a few. And then, of course, the overnight stays in the tented camps—such a fun experience and yet so comfortable. Listening to all the sounds of nature. The icing on the cake was, of course, the fact that we got to witness the wildebeest migration not once, but twice in one day. Then, after a nice descent, arriving at Ngorongoro Crater—super idyllic—and so much wildlife. Once again, we were incredibly spoiled by the animals. We saw rhinos up close, had lunch at a hippo pool, and so much more. Then a day at Tarangire NP, again so much more than expected: swimming zebras and wildebeest, elephants that are quite a bit bigger than elsewhere, and then those baobab trees. Then we enjoyed the pool at Tarangire Simba Lodge for a while before going on a night game drive, where we saw many different animals than you can see during the day: bushbabies, serval cats, and chameleons… The next day was saying goodbye to Tanzania Mainland to head to Zanzibar. Here, we had quite a few excursions planned again: Cheetah Rock, swimming with horses in Jambiani, swimming with dolphins in Kizimkazi, a snorkeling trip to Mnemba Island—all arranged perfectly. Throughout the entire trip, Arusha Trips was also always available to answer all our practical questions via WhatsApp, but everything was also arranged so smoothly. Of course, we also definitely want to thank our guide/driver whom Arusha Trips arranged for us: Joseph Chipeta. Not only did he ensure that everything went smoothly and safely, but thanks to him we also saw the Big Five, witnessed the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River twice, saw lions eating, and so much more. His knowledge of the country, the parks, and the animals was truly top-notch. It was also evident that, thanks to his years of experience, he was very well-liked and respected by other guides, and that he was happy to show us everything. We would therefore like to thank Arusha Trips and Joseph Chipeta for giving us the trip of a lifetime, and if it had been possible, we would have gone on safari again immediately.
