We had a great time during our 5 Days safari trip in the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and the Ngoro Ngoro. Our French speaking (very good) driver/guide Joramo was a very good driver, he was very helpfull and we enjoyed his presence. He did his utmost to find the animals and we were lucky to see 4 out of the Big Five. We made very good memories and we hope to come back one day. Joramo, thank you very much, we had amazing time together!

We had a great time with our Guide during the whole Safari experience of 5 Days with luxury Accommodations. Our guide was fluent in Franch which we liked very much. We saw the Big5 mammals of Africa in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, with excellent stories from our guide every safari time was super wow! About the foods was very nice really professional, clean and yummy. To be honest Tanzania with this team from TropicQuest Safari is incredible and we are really recommending it.

Peter Mathias Lupandisha

The Lupandisha’s — U.S.A Absolutely 5 stars. I booked the 6-day Northern Tanzania safari and honestly didn’t know what to expect from a smaller local operator. Best decision I made. Our guide knew the Serengeti like the back of his hand he spotted a cheetah hunt from what felt like miles away before any of us even had our binoculars up. The lodge was comfortable, food was great, and the Ngorongoro Crater on day five was simply something I can’t put into words. Tropicquest didn’t just meet expectations, they raised the bar. Asante Sana.
