Prepare yourself for a comfortable experience by bringing appropriate layers to fully enjoy the different weather nuances. Our priority is to ensure that you enjoy every moment of your stay, regardless of the weather conditions. To maximize your safari experience, we recommend bringing neutral colored clothing as well.

 Verified It was all amazing It was brutal!! It was 4 days driving from Jipe but always with excitement. Now we saw giraffes, once elephants, once zebras... We even saw King Leo, who left us open. The guides were the best, Denis and Mandela. Highly respectful of animals, as well as highly attentive to us. They always treated our 7-year-old son with a lot of affection. I would recommend this experience with this team:)

We were very happy with the performance from the first minute with Time For African. Our guides Denis and Mandela were amazing! With a lot of patience, wisdom and care I ended up staying in our hearts! The fact that they respected the animals as much as possible made us extremely happy 🙏 thanks to Rui for all the care from the first contact. They're fantastic! Thank you 🙏

 Verified Safari We took a safari in Tanzania as a couple and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience — thanks to Denis and Mandela, our amazing guides. From the very beginning, their follow-up was tireless. They were always available to explain everything in detail, ensure our safety and, of course, take wonderful photographs so that we could save every moment of this unique journey.They showed contagious enthusiasm and lived every moment with us, as if they were also on vacation. The good disposition, positive energy and attention to detail made all the difference. They were always keen to provide us with the best opportunities to observe wildlife — and we were able to see an impressive variety of animals, all thanks to their dedication and knowledge.We truly felt accompanied by two friends who shared with us not only their country but also their love for nature. An experience that we highly recommend!

 Verified Amazing Safari in Tanzania! This experience was one of the best in my life! We went to Ngorongoro Park, Lake Manyara and Tarangire Park in a course of three days!Everything was perfect. The food and accommodation were great, as were the jeep and the overall organization. We got to see many beautiful landscapes and all the animals one could ask for! During the safari we were kindly given some binoculars, snacks, water and soft drinks for the whole journey.The highlight of the trip were the two guides: Denis and Mandela! They were both very nice and knowledgeable. We learnt so much from them: bird names, animal ecology and even quite a lot about Tanzanian culture and society!Thank you much for this great trip!

 Verified Ngorongoro & Serengeti & Masai Mara with the best team possible We've just returned from an amazing 6 days safari program in Tanzania & Kenya, where we had the best experience ever, thanks to Time for African Adventures team. We trusted them for the 2nd time (1st time was in 2023) and they met all our expectations. Although with a big group (18 people), they knew how to coordinate the activities in order for us to enjoy every moment as much as possible. Everything was possible for them and we returned with the best memories ever. We highly recommend Time For African Adventures and we look forward to meeting them again.
