Excellent personalized service.
5/5

The whole experience from booking the trip, through arrival in Tanzania to drop off at the airport was absolutely outstanding. Excellent customized traveling arrangements, very knowledgeable tour guide Frank during our safari adventure provided a lot of fun & valuable info about the animals & the area. Great organization of the trip, fantastic hotels, amazing food. We got also a great value for our money especially on the hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti. We are already planning our next trip and we highly recommend Relish of Africa & Frank to all travelers.

Relish of Africa gave me and my 9 friends wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
5/5

This is Teemo from China. I contacted a lot of agencies on SafariBooking. Relish of Africa is the only one who carefully and efficiently replied our tour demand. We wanted to customized the tour and we changed ideas more than 10 times before we finally confirmed our entire trip, including hotels, locations, etc. The office manager Andrew always gave us the best plan in 1-2 days. We are a huge team of 10 people from China, and Relish of Africa sent 3 guides and 2 ORV cars altogether to keep the tour funny and safe. I would like to thank Frank and Mathias specially again, Frank is a handsome guide who has over 11 experience in exploring Serengeti, he could always find those animals which were really difficult to be found. Mathias is a really nice manager who accompanied us all the way. Most importantly, their prices are much much more reasonable.
Thanks Relish of Africa, I would definitely recommend your team to my friends in China who are looking for an amazing tour in Tanzania.

Relish of Africa is a professional, punctual tour group that is extremely attentive to the customer.
5/5

We selected a 3 day luxury safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Matthias and Emmanuel met us at the JRO Airport and transported us to a nice hotel in Arusha. Early the next morning, we started a 3 day safari. Emmanuel is a 5-star tour guide-- knowledgeable, funny, and personable. The accommodations selected for us were beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The Toyota LandCruiser was modern and well-apportioned for the rough terrain. It was a pleasure to work with Relish of Africa. They truly made the 3 day safari a memorable experience. We will use them again.

Efficient trustworthy & caring tour operator & guide
5/5

We trusted Relish of Africa - specifically Andrew, to arrange our Tanzania safari. Andrew was a prompt clear communicator and really put effort into understanding what it was that we wanted. He selected excellent accommodation and ensured we were happy along the way.
We had Mark as our safari guide. I can highly recommend Mark - he was so caring, a clear communicator and an excellent driver and safari guide. He went beyond our expectations and was always checking beforehand with us that we agreed!! He is genuinely a good person and we loved chatting on our safari. We would insist on having Mark again as he is the best guide!
We really recommend this tour operator- could not give any negative feedback on our entire trip. From meeting us on arrival to getting us back to the airport for our return and everything in between - they took care of it.
We believe we paid fairly for the quality of our trip - well worth the money!

Dreamlike 9 Days Private mid-range Safari tour
5/5

We will keep this short and simple because everything was absolutely perfect!
We are really happy that we chose Relish of Africa for our private safari and can recommend it to everyone (especially if you want to support a local small company providing great value for money).
Communication beforehand (planning of the safari), execution in Tanzania (service + reliability) and choice of accomodations (according to our budget) were on point. Food was great. We could not wish for better. Thank you, Andrew!
The company also chose a brilliant guide for us. Elias was fun, knowledgeable, reliable and showed respect towards nature and wildlife. Thank you for making this trip special. It was a once in a lifetime experience and a pleasure to meet you!
In regard to the actual safaris, we saw everything you could hope for and more - period.

Thanks so much for such a long, detailed review.

We are really happy by your wonderful comments to our company. Particularly on a 9 day safari, the driver-guides must be first-class, as he must be able to find new, different sightings. We believe that our driver-guide are amongst the very best, committed to giving our visitors the very finest safari experience. Relish of Africa can handle all sizes, from solo travelers, couples, honeymoon, family's and upwards.

Thanks for trusting us and choosing us.

they were so flexible and accommodated all our needs. It truely was a magical experience
5/5

We were initially skeptical about the operator due to the limited number of reviews, but they truly exceeded all expectations—we ended up having one of the best trips ever.

I had no idea how to organize a safari trip and nearly gave up, as it seemed almost impossible to coordinate flights to Kilimanjaro and Seronera along with the safari itself. Then we found Relish of Africa and reached out through their website. They quickly responded via WhatsApp and provided a full itinerary right away.

They arranged to pick us up and drop us off at Kilimanjaro Airport, which perfectly aligned with our flight schedule. We originally booked a 5-night group tour and paid a 20% deposit one week before our arrival.

I was still a bit unsure at the beginning due to the limited information available online, but once they picked us up at the airport, I was immediately relieved. Upon arrival, we decided to switch to a private tour instead of the group tour. Even though it must have been a difficult last-minute change, they managed to accommodate us and arranged a private driver without issue.

Our return flight was at 2:40 AM, and they even arranged a place for us to rest until around 10 PM before driving us to the airport late at night. The hospitality and service were exceptional throughout the entire trip.

The safari itself was incredible—the lodges and hotels they selected were all unique and of excellent quality.

We highly recommend Relish of Africa for anyone planning a safari.

A pretty satisfying trip
5/5

From airport pick-up and drop-off, the owner personally accompanied us and took care of us, not just sending a driver. He was kind. Other teams simply ate lunch boxes, but we were able to eat well-prepared meals every day. We saw all of the Big 5, and we were able to see cheetahs and leopards, which are hard to see, several times. It was rainy season, so the road was bad, but we moved without missing a single trip. We were able to travel at a good cost-effective rate.
