5.00Ally and Joel are young people I know. I did a trip with Tanzalux Safaris with my family, and honestly I was very impressed with their service. The guide, Prayer, was driving slowly and safely, so the children and all of us felt safe. The food was also very nice and served hot, the rice with coconut was very delicious and we even ate more than enough. I would like to recommend Tanzalux Safaris to fellow Tanzanians, it is a good company. My family and I really liked it.
Simple happy safari

A family trip with my grandson

5.00As a grandmother in the group, I would like to share my happiness with Tanzalux Safaris. Me, my daughters, and my grandson went on a short trip to Tarangire National Park. It is my second safari because first I had been to Manyara. It was fine, we did not see much there, but in Tarangire today it was a lot, we saw many animals, especially a big group of elephants. My grandson was so afraid, but we were happy we made it. We took a lot of pictures and videos of us and the animals. The elephants were very close. Next time I will come again to Ngorongoro, I can’t wait for the date.

5.00For the first time, I saw a poster on Instagram about a trip to tarangire National Park. I became very interested in visiting because I had never been there before. Although we were a group of 21 people, my main goal was to see elephants and lions. when we arrived in the morning, we were lucky because the first animal we saw was a giraffe, and the second was a lion. I also saw a herd of elephants, beautiful baobab trees, different species of birds, and the Tarangire River. our guide, Nasri, was very kind, friendly, and professional. He explained everything we asked about tarangire National Park, the animals, birds, and nature. Because of him, the safari became more interesting and enjoyable. He made sure everyone was comfortable and happy during the whole trip. During the trip, I learned more about the lives of animals and birds. I have so many stories to tell, but I cannot finish them all here. I can say I felt very happy visiting Tarangire with Tanzalux Safaris.
