When my wife and I started planning our trip to Tanzania with Africa Dream Safaris we knew immediately we had never worked with a more professional group of Travel Experts. To say they know and understand a Tanzania safari is an understatement. They are true experts. We decided to go during the rainy season (low season) which was truly magical. It rained mostly at night, and we were never wet while on Safari. We arrived at Kilimanjaro International Airport and were immediately whisked into the VIP section of the terminal, fed snacks and our own private immigration officer. The process took ma ..read more

We just returned home from the most amazing travel experience that we have ever had. Two couples, 9 days on safari in the Central and Southern Serengeti and the Crater highlands.. – Our guide, Bernard, was perfect for us. Knowledgeable, patient, fun, and a great human. Having returned home, he’s the thing we miss the most! – The animals are incredible. We didn’t know what to expect – maybe lots of driving interspersed with some binoculars viewing? That was NOT our experience. The animals were plentiful and close. Best of all, they are indifferent to the vehicles, so one can often observe them ..read more

From the moment we arrived in Kilimanjaro, we were embraced as friends, and this warmth and hospitality continued until the very end of our journey. Our adventure began and ended at Arusha Coffee Lodge, which provided the perfect introduction and conclusion to our safari. We also highly recommend visiting the social enterprise ‘Shanga’ whilst you’re there, and making time to participate in one of their workshops for an inspirational experience. Flying from Arusha to the Seronera Airstrip in Central Serengeti, we witnessed zebras and giraffes making way for the plane as we touched down. There ..read more

This was our second trip to Tanzania with Africa Dream Safaris (our first safari was in October 2021). We were wondering if a second safari might be boring but every day proved to be a new and exciting adventure. Our guide Fazal knew where the animals would be hiding, and even found a family of bat eared foxes and a very rare caracal! This time we also saw the big five, and have clear pictures of a mother and baby rhino. We also tracked cheetahs, found a mother lion with four, 3 week old cubs, and the next morning saw her carrying one cub to their new home. We realized how fortunate we are w ..read more

Our Africa Dream Safari was an amazing trip. From our arrival at the airport to our departure we felt welcomed and cared for. Our guide Alex was wonderful, with an educational background (PhD) in wildlife ecology, years working for Serengeti National Park, and experience supervising a group of safari camps. Alex’s knowledge about each animal painted a picture of every ecosystem we visited, and he was very skilled at finding us all of the animals we had hoped to see. We will never forget seeing a close encounter between a lion and a leopard (apparently quite rare), the lioness calling out in a ..read more

I travel frequently and this safari with Africa Dream Safaris was, without a doubt, the most incredible trip of my life! From the minute my plane landed in Tanzania and until I departed, the experience was amazing! The ADS staff who greeted me were so kind and so helpful! I was completely in awe during the entire trip at the level of coordination through every part of this amazing safari! The lodging in each of the camps (Mara River Camp, Mbuzi Mawe, Lion’s Paw and Maramboi) was outstanding and I had an absolute blast soaking up the culture and getting to know the local staff. But the biggest ..read more

I want to thank you and Africa Dreams Safari for providing my friend Sheila and me with an adventure I still have trouble finding words to describe. I’ll start with spell-binding. I feel as though I had stepped through a portal into a new, vast and wondrous life scape that enriches my present existence beyond measure. It’s hard to know where to begin other than acknowledging that our trip began and ended with our guide, Elson. More on him later! But I think it important to differentiate between our ADS experience and others, starting with our happy selection of the Hemingway Camps. While I k ..read more

In August 2023, I realized a decades-long dream of going on a safari. I originally planned a trip for 2010, and selected ADS based on a recommendation I had received years before and thankfully kept. Things changed, as they do, and that trip never came to fruition. At that point, I told myself that within a year of retiring, I would make that dream a reality. And I did! Working with Dawn Anderson was a pleasure (both in 2009 and recently). She was so patient in answering every question we could throw at her and knowledgeable on every aspect of the location. Russell, our guide, was simply amaz ..read more

Kristi and I first contacted ADS nearly ten years ago. The packet that we received in the mail lived on our bookshelf, through multiple moves and life changes, as a reminder of a dream. We watched the Hemingway experience video over and over and I must admit I had some doubts that the experience could live up to their depiction. I am excited to say that it was everything they said it could be and more! Placing our faith in ADS to plan and coordinate our August 2023 Dream Safari was the most perfect choice we could have possibly made. From the moment we arrived, we were totally cared for and m ..read more
