5/5

I met John and he handled and my family kindly as he took us through Mara, Ngorongoro and finally ended up in a city tour in Dar es salaam. I transited to Diana Tanzania Safaris.
Thanks so much Diana and your team.

AMAZING SAFARI WITH DIANA TANZANIA SAFARIS
5/5

Diana Tanzania safaris are a must use company!!
We booked a 6 day Safari through Diana Tanzania safaris for our honeymoon this year - we had a phenomenal trip thanks to them! Ever since our initial enquiry, customer service has been faultless and we have been at the centre of everything - Diana was assisting us and she did a great job of planning and tailoring our itinerary to the perfect trip - which it really was!
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were made to feel comfortable and at home straight away; feeling none of the potential stress we could have felt. There was a representative waiting to take us to our first lodge in Arusha and talk us through our trip day by day to ensure we were happy! This continued throughout the trip; all of our stays, transfers, etc were well organised which made a massive impact!
Our guide, Herman was a hero. From Day 1 Safari, to Day 6, nothing was ever too much for him. He spoke excellent English, was incredibly knowledgeable, ensured we saw pretty much everything possible on a safari, and always got us to the right place at the right time, even on those Tanzanian roads - what a trooper! He allowed us to immerse ourselves in Tanzanian culture, told lots of stories, taught us lots of Swahili so we could interact with local people, and we would genuinely consider him as a friend upon leaving! If you get the opportunity, ask for him as a guide!
Accommodation was all to a really high standard Diana Tanzania safaris pride themselves on this); and food exceeded our expectations, particularly on Safari.
Overall, a great 6-day Safari (Tarangire NP, Ngorogoro Crater, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti x 2),
When we come back to do Safari again, we will definitely book with Diana Tanzania safaris!

The review below is the personal opinion of Kamilah and not that of SafariBookings.
Agent didn't book our accommodation then lied about it. Also flight booking error
1/5

Honestly disgusted with the service. I feel scammed. Agent forgot to book our accommodation. Though was told she needed an additional deposit early to book accommodation!!

All of a sudden wasn't contactable. So at 5pm we were left to find new accommodation in a foreign place. Spent hours driving around trying to find somewhere. We called and called. Even the operating agent. No one could get hold of her. She then emailed at midnight saying she'd told me a week before saying they were fully booked. This was a lie. All our correspondence was via email and nothing was there. When I said the Hotel said they were never contacted and they only became full the day of. Her story changed the next day when I asked for evidence it was a new story and excuse. Then the worst part is that she refused to refund what we'd paid out of pocket. Despite already paying for accommodation. She didn't want to reimburse us for the night stay that we were forced to pay for. I had to threaten to report her to the tourism board.


Also she booked our flights too early. We had to leave the safari at 2pm instead of 5. Got to the airport 20mins before take off. So stressful and embarrassing. The 4hour drive back was so dangerous because the poor driver was trying to get there on time. He did it in 3 hours instead!! Driver asked her to changed them but she Wouldn't rebook flight as she said she wouldn't get her money back for it. So unprofessional!

Also itinerary was a lie. You don't get the meals promised. Only one lunch was provided on the first day, though we paid for 3 meals and drinks for two days . She should be ashamed to call this a service. Such an expensive experience to be ruined by our agent. We pay for a stress free experience. It was anything but. Also turns out we were overcharged in comparison to others on the trip.
