We knew we wanted to go for an African safari, we knew we wanted to visit Serengeti…what we didn’t know was how to go about planning for it beyond our internet research.
Though we spoke with multiple safari companies based in Tanzania…we got the best service from Focus Mission Safari. Jessey from their servicing team is absolutely amazing - he helps you with all (and we had many) questions very patiently. All our communication was on email but he has also very prompt on WhatsApp. he understood that we are first time safari travelers and advised us from that perspective. After we reached and finally met him, he again briefed us very well on what to expect through the safari. Even at the end of our safari on a Sunday, he came to meet us for a debriefing of our trip and get our feedback.
Our guide from Focus Mission Safari was Mr. Eriel. He was very friendly, knowledgable and again very patient throughout our safari together. He could always manoeuvre the car in a way to get the best angles of the animal sighting. He also seemed to know the entire travel fraternity of the region :) It is true that your guide + driver partner of the safari can make / break your trip - thankfully for us, we had Eriel who made our trip an absolute hoot!
Do consider Focus Mission Safari Tanzania for your safari / Kilimanjaro hike planning to Tanzania. They are very kindly and...
Read moreWe just came back from safari in Tanzania. We took part in a marvelous safari in three NPs: Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. It was only three days but full of impressions and fantastic experiences. Each of NP is different and offers different living conditions for animals. Ngorongoro is a big, flat, open space surrounded by mountains. It is like big zoo where animals are very familiar with the all cars driving around. Lake Manyara is mostly full of bushes and forrest. There is difficult to see animals. But sometimes they come directly to your car. And then you can shot great pictures. Tarangire is full of hills and canyons. The quantity of animals is amazing. We've met plenty of them including lions, elephants, buffalos, antelopes and even rhinos. It is difficult to describe our impression. l only would say that safari is the experience which everybody should feel in his life. If anybody needs the perfect organization of safari in Tanzania carn ask this guy: Owner of focus Mission Safaris Tanzania Jessey Kitunzi, very easy to find him WhatsApp and E-mail. He was personally responsible for preparing our tour and made in perfectly. I can recommend...
Read moreI have watched many documentaries with wild animals but nothing compares to seeing them with your own eyes. I spent 1 day in Arusha and 4 days in and around Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, doing Safari and saw an insane amount of Wildlife up-close - Lions, Hippos, Buffalos, Cheetahs, even a Leopard and many other animals and birds that I have never seen before except maybe in the zoo. While I was lucky to spot the Big 4 out of 5 I will definitely come back to see the African Rhino which I wasn't lucky enough to see this time. The only problem from my point of view in this trip was the lack of decent conditions for a hot bath during the safari. Jessey is a very friendly guy, who took care of us, helped and guided us throughout the trip. Compliments to the guide and the chef who accompanied us everywhere and prepared us fresh and good food. I can wholeheartedly recommend Focus Mission Safaris Tanzania, who went above and beyond from the moment I contacted them for a quote. Everything was smooth sailing, and went better than I could have hoped. Thank you, Jessey and...
