  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable honeymoon safari

    Fionsw94,,Feb 10, 2026

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    Truly once in a lifetime! Our honeymoon safari in Tanzania with The Wanderer Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary. We chose their 5-day safari package over New Year’s, and from the very first moment we were collected, we knew we were in the best possible hands. Our guide, David, was absolutely exceptional. He is incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, and he consistently went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable, safe, and truly enjoying every moment. His passion for what he does really shines through. Thanks to David, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with elephants, giraffes, a pride of lions, and even a cheetah mum with her five beautiful cubs — moments we will never forget. The safari vehicle itself was always clean, cool, and comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with water, snacks, and binoculars, which made each day even more enjoyable. Every detail felt carefully considered. Our accommodation each night exceeded our expectations. Each place was extremely comfortable, and waking up to such breathtaking scenery every morning was something special. As someone with a fairly sensitive stomach, I was especially grateful for the food — it was consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, and I had no issues at all throughout the trip. The staff at every accommodation were warm, attentive, and always ready to help with any request. One particularly meaningful highlight of our trip occurred during our stay in the Rhotia Valley. We had some extra time one morning, and one of the hotel hosts (whose name I sadly can’t remember, but who was truly amazing) took time out of his busy schedule to show us the local children’s home next door. Seeing the beautiful partnership between the hotel and the children’s home — and how they work together to provide a safe, nourishing environment for children in need — was incredibly moving and something we will carry with us forever. This safari was the perfect way to begin our married life together. It felt personal, authentic, and deeply special, and we cannot thank David and the entire team at The Wanderer Tanzania enough for creating such a magical experience. We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania — especially for a honeymoon or once-in-a-lifetime trip. We are already dreaming of coming back someday.

    If I could, I would give 100 stars! This was just the best trip of my life! Starting with the perfect organization, the great accommodations, the really countless animal sightings (I had seen the Big 5 after three days) and my super sympathetic and funny guide Norbert, who has such an extensive knowledge of each animal and also speaks German very well. I had a really unforgettable nice time and will definitely book again at The Wanderer Tanzania if I want to do a safari again.

  • 10/10 honeymoon with Wanderer Tanzania

    Where do we begin with our honeymoon safari trip with Wanderer Tanzania. The booking process with Koen was extremely easy and he was very communicative. He provided great advice and helped build the itinerary to suit our budget and interests. Leading up to our trip the communication was great, answering any questions we had. When we arrived into Kilimanjaro airport our transfer was waiting for us and got us to our first hotel safely. On the first morning of our 5 day safari trip, we were warmly greeted by our guide David. David was absolutely brilliant and we were sad to leave him at the end of our trip. He was highly experienced and very knowledgeable, taking us to the best spots to find animals in the Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he looked after us throughout the trip, providing great information about the wildlife and local culture. We arranged the second part of our honeymoon to Zanzibar ourselves but Wanderer Tanzania booked our domestic flight from Arusha to Zanzibar and our transfer to hotel when we landed. Our experience with Wanderer Tanzania was 10/10 and we would highly recommend them! Big shout out to David for making our trip so memorable 😀

    If you’re looking to book a safari, look no further. Wanderer Tanzania were absolutely brilliant from start to finish, and we would recommend them to absolutely everyone! From the very beginning, the whole booking and planning process was seamless. Koen Cooper was amazing in helping us organise the perfect two-week honeymoon. We had no idea where to start, but he made everything so easy, listening to what we wanted, working with our timeline, and even making thoughtful suggestions we hadn’t considered. He co-ordinated everything around our flight times and took away so much of the stress (especially while we were in the midst of wedding planning!). Communication was fantastic throughout, Koen was always quick to reply and incredibly helpful. When it came to the safari itself, we had a small last-minute change with our driver/guide the night before, but Wanderer Tanzania had already sorted everything before we’d even woken up. Their communication and organisation was exceptional. Our guide Norbert was absolutely incredible! Norbert was so knowledgeable, passionate, and fun to be around. His love for his job really shone through, and we’re certain that’s why we saw so much wildlife. Thanks to his dedication, we experienced an unforgettable five days on safari and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five (and so much more!). Norbert truly made our safari dream come to life, and we can’t thank him enough. All the food we had was made by the camps we stayed at and we had it during the safari days at lunch spots. The food was really really good, consisting of curries or stews, rice, fruit, biscuits and juice boxes. We also added on a hot air balloon safari, which we asked The Wanderer if this was possible and they sorted everything! After our safari, we flew to Zanzibar for the final week of our honeymoon, once again all arranged by Wanderer Tanzania. They booked our flights and recommended a hotel (which we could have changed if we’d wanted), but we’re so glad we trusted their choice because it was perfect in every way. We are beyond happy that we chose Wanderer Tanzania. Every single detail was handled with care, professionalism, and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences. They made our honeymoon nothing short of perfect. Thank you, Wanderer Tanzania, and a huge thank you to Koen and Norbert, for giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime!

    From start to finish everything was perfectly organized and individually tailored to our wishes. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and taken directly to our first accommodation. All lodges were beautifully selected, with super friendly staff and delicious food. Also the itinerary was absolutely coherent! The highlight was our guide Salum – with a lot of knowledge, experience and passion he led us through three national parks in 5 days. Thanks to him, we could actually see all the Big Five and many more animals! The organization was top and characterized by small attentions: own thermos bottles, handmade bracelets with our names from locals, enough food & drink and always the feeling of being well looked after. We were there during the difficult political situation of the election and the team gave everything to keep us informed and to be sure that we are fine and that our journey home can succeed. Also the onward journey and time after the safari to Zanzibar including transfers to the dreamlike hotel went smoothly and we had a great time with a great excursion (also booked again through The Wanderer and top implemented). In addition, it was by far (and we obtained offers from over 10 agencies and talked to other local travellers) the trip with the best Price quality ratio and absolutely fair! We would book again through this agency at any time – here the focus is on people, not mass tourism. A huge thank you to Salum, Koen and the whole team – it was just perfect! ❤️

    We’ve just returned from the most incredible two-week adventure booked through The Wanderer Tanzania, and everything from start to finish ran absolutely seamlessly. Every detail was perfectly organised, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment. Our safari guide, David, was truly exceptional — knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about the wildlife and landscapes. He made each game drive unforgettable, spotting animals we’d have never noticed and sharing stories that brought the parks to life. We visited Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater — each one breathtaking in its own way. From herds of elephants under baobab trees to lions on the open plains and the awe-inspiring views of the crater, every day offered something magical. After the adventure of a lifetime on safari, we spent six nights unwinding in Zanzibar, which was the perfect ending — turquoise seas, white sand, and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. We can’t recommend The Wanderer Tanzania highly enough — the team’s attention to detail, the seamless logistics, and the incredible people we met along the way made this a trip we’ll never forget.

  • Unforgettable honeymoon safari! Salum’s 30-yr expertise + The Wanderer’s flawless organization. Saw Big 5. Perfection!

    Unforgettable Safari - Highly Recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our honeymoon safari with The Wanderer was perfection. Salum, our guide with 30 years’ experience, was exceptional - a true David Attenborough who shared deep knowledge of animal behavior, breeding patterns, and birds. Despite October’s dry season challenges, he ensured we saw the Big 5, plus abundant lions, cheetahs, elephants, elands, and impalas. Koan’s thorough planning created an ideal itinerary: 5 nights including 3 in Serengeti (the unmatched crown jewel), plus Tarangire and Ngorongoro where we spotted rhino. Our mid-Serengeti camps offered modern comfort while hyenas and lions serenaded us nightly. The combination of Salum’s expertise and The Wanderer’s organization delivered a flawless, memorable experience. Highly recommend both without reservation.

    We had the most caring and friendly guide in Adili. He was so knowledgeable about the animals in the parks, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. By the end of the week we wanted to adopt him! Three of the accommodations were absolutely top notch. The other two were good, but because of our ages and walking difficulties, they were not as convenient. I think they would be fine for most visitors.

    We travelled the last two weeks of September with The Wanderer Tanzania, 5 days of Safari and 5 days in Zanzibar. What about it? Landscapes and unique places to see absolutely at least once in a lifetime! Excellent organization of the agency, which followed us every day and was attentive to our every communication, very recommended! The lodges were beautiful and completely immersed in the nature of the savannah, Highly recommended! A special mention for our guides David and Evans who accompanied us on this exciting journey introduced us to the customs and culture of this fantastic country, indeed thanks to David's perseverance we were able to see all the big Five on our first Safari! A journey to be redone a thousand times!
