Travel Wise Safari

The Travel Wise Safari team delivered an exceptional experience! Their kindness, professionalism, and reliability shone through every step of the way, especially our contact person, who went above and beyond. We’re so glad we added the professional cameraman to our package; it was absolutely worth it for capturing those unforgettable safari moments. Highly recommend this outstanding team for a worry-free, memorable adventure!

Our safari with Travel Wise Safari was the absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we were picked up at our hotel to the seamless shuttle services, every detail was perfectly organized. Our German-speaking guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights in our native language, making the experience even more special. The wildlife sightings were breathtaking, with so many incredible animals in their natural habitat. Everything was so well arranged that we’d book this safari again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

We spent 3 incredible days with Travel Wise Safari, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. The communication and booking process were excellent Meshack had everything organized seamlessly. We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar, flown to Arusha, and warmly welcomed by Meshack and our driver, David, in Receptions. We traveled in a spacious, comfortable SUV with a pop-up roof and refreshments on board everything was thoughtfully prepared. Day 1: We explored Tarangire National Park, followed by an overnight stay at Heart and Soul Lodge. The lodge was beautiful, with excellent facilities, a relaxing pool, and delicious food. David was always there to answer our questions and make sure we were comfortable. Day 2: After breakfast, we headed to Ngorongoro Crater an absolute highlight of the trip! The landscape was breathtaking, and we were lucky to spot the Big Five. It's truly something you have to experience for yourself. We returned in the evening to Heart and Soul Lodge for another wonderful night. Day 3: We visited Lake Manyara National Park, which was equally stunning. Afterward, we were transferred to Kilimanjaro Airport for our flight back to Zanzibar. Travel Wise Safari took care of every detail flawlessly. David was a fantastic driver and guide attentive, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He even spoke German, which was a great bonus! We’ll definitely be back and are already planning to book a Serengeti safari with Travel Wise next time!

Where to even begin! If you are dreaming of a trip to Tanzania, look no further than Travel Wise Safari, choosing anyone else would be a huge mistake. From the very first email to our final goodbye, their incredible team crafted an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. Our three-week adventure, climbing Kilimanjaro, exploring three breathtaking national parks on safari, and unwinding in Zanzibar was perfectly orchestrated by the amazing Meshack. He patiently answered our endless questions and designed a honeymoon celebration beyond our wildest dreams. The personal touches blew us away: surprise cakes, matching sweatshirts, champagne, flowers, and even a celebratory song at each stop! Every detail was flawless from the handpicked luxury lodges and seamless transfers to the delicious meals that fueled our journey. Sheban and his team made our Kilimanjaro trek unforgettable, while Lazaro's expertise on safari brought us face-to-face with Tanzania's incredible wildlife. What truly set Travel Wise apart was their genuine care and local ownership (thank you, Bruno!). They didn't just plan a trip they created memories that will last a lifetime. If you want an authentic, stress-free, and utterly magical Tanzanian experience, this is the only team to trust. Every single penny was worth it for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure! P.S. That moment when the staff surprised us with celebrations? We will be smiling about that for years to come.

What an incredible safari experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect, the lodges were fabulous, the food delicious, and our guide made every game drive exciting. A special thanks to Donald for his patience and quick responses to all my questions during planning. The entire trip ran seamlessly, and we were thrilled by the unbelievable wildlife sightings. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

My three-day fly-in safari from Zanzibar with Travel Wise Safari was worth every penny! As a solo traveler, the experience of flying directly into Serengeti National Park (via Arusha in a small aircraft) was absolutely exhilarating and set the tone for an unforgettable adventure. While this premium option comes at a higher cost, the convenience and thrill of arriving by air made it truly special. I felt completely cared for throughout my journey. Beyond our skilled cook, Elisha from the office provided wonderful companionship, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife while ensuring my comfort at every turn. Our driver/guide team, Lazaro and Kinisa, were exceptional, their expertise and professionalism made every game drive both exciting and educational. Thanks to this incredible team, I can now proudly check off seeing the Big Five and countless other magnificent animals from my bucket list! The entire experience from the seamless flights to the knowledgeable guides - exceeded my expectations. Asante sana marafiki 🙏 to everyone at Travel Wise Safari for creating such magical memories.

Where do we even begin! If you're planning a trip to Tanzania, do yourself a favor and book it right away but if you're not booking with Travel Wise Safari, you're seriously missing out. From start to finish, the entire team made sure our journey was nothing short of epic and unforgettable. From pre-trip planning with Meshack, to hiking Kilimanjaro with Sheban and his crew, to exploring the national parks with our safari guide Lazaro, every step was carefully crafted to give us the best possible experience. We worked closely with Meshack to plan a 3-week honeymoon adventure starting with the Kilimanjaro trek, followed by safari across three stunning parks, and ending with a week of pure relaxation in Zanzibar. Meshack was an incredible coordinator, patiently answering all of our (many!) questions and helping us design the perfect honeymoon celebration. To top it off, the team went above and beyond meeting us at each hotel with surprises like a cake, matching sweatshirts, champagne, flowers, and even songs to celebrate our special trip. It was truly magical. They selected amazing lodges and hotels, arranged seamless airport transfers, and made sure we enjoyed delicious meals every single day. Choosing a locally owned company was essential for us, and we’re so glad we chose Bruno and the Travel Wise Safari team. Their passion, care, and hospitality are unmatched. If you’re dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime experience, choose Tanzania. And if you want it done right choose Travel Wise Safari.

Our safari in Tanzania was truly an unforgettable adventure far beyond anything we had imagined. From the stunning landscapes to the incredible wildlife, every moment felt like a dream come true. The trip was flawlessly organized. Our guide was not only highly knowledgeable but also warm, professional, and deeply passionate about the region. He shared fascinating insights about the animals, their environments, and the local culture. We especially appreciated his thoughtful approach ensuring we saw the best spots without ever disrupting the natural surroundings. We were fortunate to spot the Big Five, along with many other amazing animals like giraffes, zebras, and hippos. A truly remarkable experience that we’ll treasure forever.

Our safari with Travel Wise Safari was a truly wonderful experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized - from the seamless transfers from our Zanzibar hotel to the airport, to the flights, accommodations, and the safari itself. The attention to detail made our trip completely stress-free. Our adventure began when our excellent driver Innocent picked us up at Arusha Airport and took us straight to Tarangire National Park. He worked tirelessly to show us as many animals as possible, and we were amazed by the incredible wildlife sightings right from our first day. After an exciting day exploring Tarangire, we spent the night near Lake Manyara National Park, resting up for more adventures. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly Ngorongoro Crater, where thanks to Innocent's sharp eyes and expertise, we were able to spot all of the Big Five! We also enjoyed a fascinating visit to a Maasai village, On our final day, we explored Lake Manyara National Park. While Innocent did his absolute best to find animals for us (no easy task with the dense vegetation and rising lake waters reducing wildlife numbers), we felt this park couldn't quite compare to the spectacular sightings we'd enjoyed in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Still, it was beautiful in its own way. Innocent proved to be an exceptional guide throughout our journey. His ability to spot animals long before we could see them (often when they were just tiny dots in the distance!) was truly impressive. His knowledge and dedication made our safari experience truly special. Many thanks to the entire Travel Wise team and especially to Innocent for creating such incredible memories. This safari exceeded our expectations in every way!

Our 4-day safari with Travel Wise Safari was an absolute dream come true! From the majestic views of Kilimanjaro to the breathtaking wildlife in Ngorongoro and Tarangire, every moment exceeded our expectations. The seamless organization, flawless transfers, smooth flights, and comfortable accommodations made the journey stress-free and unforgettable. A huge thank you to Bruno for making it all possible! The wildlife encounters were beyond incredible! We were thrilled to spot the Big Five and so many other amazing animals (buffalo, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, lions, elephants, flamingos just WOW! 🐃🦒🦓🦛🦏🦁🐘🦩). It was pure magic! Special thanks to our incredible team Isaac, our skilled and patient driver, and Renald, our knowledgeable guide. Their expertise and passion for Tanzania’s wildlife made every game drive exciting and educational. Their motto? "Always slow down!", giving us the perfect moments to soak it all in. 😉 Asante sana, Travel Wise Safari! This adventure was everything we hoped for and more. Hakuna Matata! 🍀💚🧡 Christian & Sandy

A flawless safari experience from start to finish! Travel Wise Safari's organization was superb, and Heart and Soul Lodge exceeded all expectations. Our guides were both highly knowledgeable and wonderfully kind, making every game drive special. The Ngorongoro Crater left us speechless - its beauty and wildlife were truly impressive. From our Zanzibar hotel to the wilderness of Tanzania, every detail was perfect. We couldn't recommend this experience more highly!

Our 2-day safari to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we booked, the manager ensured seamless communication, keeping us updated at every step with professionalism and care. Our guide played a huge role in making the experience unforgettable friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Both parks took our breath away, and we were thrilled to spot so many incredible animals in the wild. The Heart & Soul Lodge was the perfect retreat serene, beautifully set in the Tanzanian countryside, and offering all the comforts we needed after exciting days of exploration. While the transfers between the airport, parks, and lodge were quite long (something to prepare for), the journey was absolutely worth it. We appreciated that our package struck a great balance between affordability and comfort, even if some lodges closer to the parks might have reduced travel time at a higher cost. Without a doubt, we would recommend this safari to anyone well-organized, packed with wildlife wonders, and made truly special by the attentive team. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who made our adventure so memorable!

My safari experience with Travel Wise Safari was truly memorable. While we encountered a few minor hiccups with our driver, Meshack's immediate response and solution demonstrated the company's exceptional commitment to customer satisfaction. His personal touch, including a wonderful impromptu tour of Arusha when I had spare time before my flight created a genuine connection that went beyond typical tour operator service. The accommodations arranged were absolutely spectacular, particularly Heart and Mind Lodge. Waking up to breathtaking sunset views and strolling through their lush organic gardens added an extra layer of magic to the experience. Beyond the safari itself, I was profoundly impressed by Travel Wise's meaningful community involvement and their support for local orphans it's heartening to see a company that gives back. One thoughtful consideration for future travelers: While Tarangire and Ngorongoro delivered incredible wildlife viewing, Lake Manyara's ecosystem has changed significantly due to the expanding lake waters, leaving mostly baboons where larger mammals once roamed. This insight might help others when planning their ideal itinerary. Overall, this was more than just a safari, it was a beautifully curated experience combining wildlife, stunning lodges, and meaningful human connections. My sincere thanks to Meshack and the entire team for creating such a special journey.

I traveled solo and booked a three-day fly-in safari from Zanzibar (flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, then a small plane into Serengeti National Park). While this was likely one of the more premium options, flying directly into the park was an absolutely unforgettable experience well worth it! Throughout the safari, I always felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after. In addition to the cook, Elisha from the office accompanied me and provided fascinating insights about the wildlife. He was always attentive and made sure I was truly enjoying every moment. Our driver and guide, Lazaro Kinisa, was fantastic knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about his work. Thanks to the amazing team at Travel Wise Safari, I can now proudly check off the Big Five and so many other incredible animals from my bucket list. Asante sana, marafiki! 🙏

Our two-day safari with Travel Wise Safari was absolutely perfect , we couldn’t imagine a better provider! From start to finish, every detail was expertly arranged, making our adventure seamless and unforgettable. Our guide, Samwel, was the heart of this incredible experience. His knowledge about Tanzania’s wildlife, culture, and landscapes was impressive, and his fun, engaging personality made every moment enjoyable. Thanks to his expertise, we not only explored the stunning Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater but also had the thrill of spotting the Big Five, a dream come true! This safari was more than just a trip; it was an adventure we’ll cherish forever. The breathtaking scenery, close wildlife encounters, and Samwel’s outstanding guidance made it truly special. Asante sana to the entire Travel Wise team – we’re already dreaming of our next Tanzanian adventure with you!

We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience, thanks to the exceptional team at Travel Wise Safari. From the very beginning, Meshack made the entire planning process seamless with his outstanding communication and thoughtful assistance. He carefully arranged every detail of our trip and was always quick to respond to our questions with kindness and expertise. The accommodations were stunning, and we were pleasantly surprised by how affordable the safari was compared to other options we explored. Once on the ground, Frank, our knowledgeable and skilled driver, enhanced our adventure with his deep understanding of the wildlife and terrain. He positioned us perfectly for the best animal sightings, making each game drive exciting and memorable. This unforgettable journey wouldn’t have been the same without Meshack’s flawless planning and Frank’s expert guidance. We’re so grateful to them both for creating such a special experience—one we’ll cherish forever!

We had an amazing time on our safari! Meshack was absolutely wonderful kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He organized everything perfectly and was always quick to answer any questions I had. The accommodations were stunning, and the overall cost of the safari was surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to other options. Our driver, Frank, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and always knew where to position us for the best wildlife sightings. This unforgettable experience was all thanks to Meshack and Frank. We’re so grateful!

We originally booked with a different safari company that unfortunately canceled our trip less than a week before our arrival in Tanzania. In a moment of stress, we reached out to Travel Wise Safari and they truly came through. They were able to organize a full safari for us at the very last minute. We ended up doing an 8-day, 7-night safari, and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Ludovick, was fantastic. He made sure we were well taken care of the entire time and always went the extra mile to enhance our experience. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. If we ever return to Tanzania, we will definitely be booking with Travel Wise again!

The most beautiful five days of our lives! Travel Wise Safaris did an outstanding job organizing every detail of our trip. The accommodations were all excellent, each offering stunning views of nature. The itinerary was perfectly planned, and Meshack ensured everything ran smoothly he was always available to answer any questions we had. A special mention goes to our driver, Ommy, and our German-speaking guide, Renald, who made the safari truly unforgettable. With years of experience, Ommy has an incredible instinct for wildlife thanks to him, we were able to see so many animals. It’s clear he has a deep passion for what he does. Renald impressed us with his extensive knowledge of both animals and birds and enriched our journey with fascinating stories and insights. In just five days, the four of us became like family. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!

This is a newly opened lodge in the Tarangire area of Tanzania, having launched in June 2024. The location is fantastic—home to large herds of elephants, plenty of other wildlife, and over 300 species of birds. The lodge itself is beautiful, with very comfortable and well-designed individual units. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the food was excellent. A truly lovely place to stay in Tarangire!
