Tanzania Safari Guide

Zicasso's travel agents planned every small and big detail of our trip to Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. They suggested a perfect time. Because of this, we were able to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, including the Mara River crossing. The guides were very knowledgeable. The pick-up and drop-off service from airports at each place was excellent. Our overall trip was great!

What a wonderful trip! I can't say enough good things about Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team. From the initial planning, which was well curated and well communicated, to responding to any of the changes we needed because of flight timings to finalizing everything, the trip was really a seamless and extremely comfortable experience.

We spent 11 full days in Tanzania and at no time did we feel like we were "on our own." This was especially important because we were traveling with our 12- and 14-year-old kids, and needed to make sure everything went smoothly. But from the moment we landed in Arusha to the moment we left Zanzibar, we really didn't have to think about logistics.

On top of that, the guides who were arranged were knowledgeable, affable, answered all our questions as we went on game drives, and were great. And the accommodations the travel specialist and his team selected in Arusha, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and Zanzibar were uniformly excellent.

Finally, we decided on this once-in-a-lifetime trip to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays and a wedding anniversary. The travel specialist and team made sure our hotels knew this. In the Ngorongoro Crater and in the Serengeti, both the lodges we stayed at held special celebrations for us, which were quite touching.

As you can tell, we loved our trip and all the experiences it brought us. Thank you!

Our African safari, organized by Zicasso’s tour company and its agent, was a trip of a lifetime. Their partnering with the local travel company was absolutely brilliant. Our guide was of the highest quality that could have been expected. 

The accommodations at the Ngorongoro Crater were amazing. The other accommodations were a bit more rustic, but they seemed perfectly located for our safaris. 

We would not recommend the "walk" to the elephant caves without more disclosure about the difficulty of the trek and the footwear required. We were not thrilled with the visit to the Maasai village. We felt taken advantage of. We would have preferred a visit to a village where our participation was more authentic and where we did not get a high-pressure sales pitch.  

Booking the hot-air balloon ride with the chosen company was an excellent choice. We have come back with so many memories of our time in Tanzania (including our stay in Zanzibar). We would highly recommend our travel company and agent to anyone considering an African safari.

Communication with our Zicasso travel team was fantastic. They were very responsive to all questions and calmed any concerns we had.

We were met at the airport by our travel agent, who was our guide for the week. He was amazing! He ensured we had the best experience possible – we traveled and explored on our schedule, making sure we saw all the animals and sights we wanted to see.

The Serengeti was everything I imagined it would be. The plains were alive with all kinds of animals, and watching the cheetahs, lions, and leopards hunting was magical. We didn’t see them catch anything, but it was still fantastic to see them in action.

We were there during a drought, so the Great Migration hadn't started yet, but it started raining and we saw thousands of animals gathering to start their long trek. It was a beautiful sight.

Our agent did his best to ensure we saw the Big Five – elephant, leopard, buffalo, lion, and rhino, and we managed to see four of them on our first day out in the Serengeti. We had to wait until the last day in the Ngorongoro Crater to see a rhino, but it was worth the wait.

It was the best vacation I have ever had and our travel agent was a big reason why.

Thank you to our travel team!

The trip was carefully planned and we received optimal assistance throughout the trip and constant availability and monitoring during the journey. Our Zicasso travel agent was very professional and always available to respond to our requests and needs. The choice of hotels was excellent and reflected the expectations. The activities offered in the different locations were very well structured and the guides were of high quality, particularly those in Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta.
