Fantastic Tour Company! I strongly recommend going with Sarafika Tours! Jasmine and her team were incredibly accommodating, setting up a fantastic, affordable, package that were tailored to our wants and asks. We went on a four-day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and stayed at fantastic places. Our guide—Isaack—was fantastic, exhibiting a wonderful sense of respect and admiration for nature and the fauna that constitutes it. Anyone looking for a genuine, kind, and highly detailed tour operator: Sarafika is where you should go.

Serengeti and Ngorongoro tour We were four people that went on a four days trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro arranged by Sarafika and we had an absolutely amazing time! Jasmine, the owner, was very accommodating to our requests and everything was very well-organised. We couldn’t have been more happy with the tour, especially the accommodations and the guide Isaack! Highly recommend especially if you’re looking to support a local company that focus on responsible and sustainable tourism and good value for the money

The organization was smooth, and we got to see an incredible variety of animals.

Fantastic Tour Company- highly recommend I had a wonderful experience with Jasmine of Sarafika Tours. I made a last minute change in my travel plans and decided to add Tanzania to my itinerary. Jasmine was super responsive and attentive to all my questions and concerns while putting together a 4 day safari and 3 night stay in Zanzibar in less than 3 weeks prior to departure for my mother and I. The private safari was fantastic- our guide was great and we enjoyed all the accommodations. Ngorogoro and the Serengeti were amazing. Everything went seamlessly and Jasmine checked in regularly throughout our entire trip to make sure we were satisfied. I reached out to multiple safari companies and Sarafika offered the best priced packages for my needs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sarafika Tours when visiting Tanzania.

10/10 Recommendation Me and my friend did a private Safari to Tarangiere. I was before in contact with Jasmine, which was really easy. She‘s such a kind hearted person. It was so amazing! Our Driver Bryson was so patient with us and showed us all good spots. He did an amazing job! We saw so many animals like Elephants, Giraffes and also a Leopard. The trip itself was awesome and was made even more unforgettable by our tour guide Bryson. Thank you so much again.

Family safari We came across Jasmine from Sarafika Tours through someone else. She is Tanzanian but has lived in the Netherlands for a long time and therefore also speaks Dutch. We wanted to travel with 7 people, including 3 small children (4, 7 and 9) and grandparents in their 70s, and therefore had some wishes regarding overnight stays (preferably with a swimming pool, family rooms, not driving too far distances, etc.) . Jasmine understood this immediately and immediately drew up a good program for this. Everywhere with family rooms / tented camps so that we could sleep together with the children. There was also a swimming pool everywhere so that the children could splash around after a long safari day (and we could have a quiet drink). At Rhotia Valley the waiter even played games with our children. Baraka was our guide and this was also a success. We laughed about how he scared away monkeys during our picnics. He spotted a lot of animals. And he had a good sense of what we wanted. Sarafika tours also offered a good price compared to other operators, but with excellent quality.
