Tanzania Customer Reviews

A truly memorable holiday because of the scenery but mainly the wonderful people we met everywhere, so friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to go back!

Visited Tanzania, Zanzibar and Kenya.

Thank you for organising such a fantastic trip to Tanzania. It went incredibly smoothly, and the places we staying in were really great. We got to see so many animals and all the Big 5! The driver-guide was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna so that made it even more interesting. I have been recommending your company to everyone I tell about the trip, I felt the organisation of the trip could not have been better. Thank you so much for such a memorable honeymoon.

Hi Rob,
We never got round to emailing you to thank you for organising such a fantastic trip to Tanzania. It went incredibly smoothly, and the places we staying in were really great. We got to see so many animals and all the big 5! The driver Samuel was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna so that made it even more interesting.
Chapwani Island was so relaxing, and they even organised dinner on the beach, lit by candles in the sand that were arranged in a heart shape around the table!
There was one thing that I just wanted to mention, namely about tipping. The advice, from recollection, was for 5-10 dollars per night. We got the impression that the lower end of the scale was not considered sufficient, we were not sure whether the staff who then accompanied on us an afternoon drive, or who carried our bags, were supposed to be tipped separately given that places specifically stated that all tips were to be shared out amongst staff. In the first place we tipped as per the guidelines, but at the end of the trip we sent some more money back with Samuel as we had not tipped the gentleman who accompanied us on an afternoon drive separately and we were not sure whether we should have done.
Anyhow, maybe we were just finding our way a bit around the tipping etiquette!

We had a fantastic time in Tanzania and [would like] to say thank you for coming up with such a great itinerary. It was pretty much the perfect mix of relaxing and getting out and about and all told we had a fantastic time. We saw amazing amounts of wildlife, including cheetahs and a leopard which was more than we had hoped for (plus plenty of hippos)! Everything went without a hitch save a flat tire and getting the 4x4 stuck in the mud briefly… our ever resourceful guide got us out nice and quickly with the aid of an enormous jack so no problems there either. We even got to try out a bit of diving off the coats of Zanzibar which was great fun. … Thanks again for organising a great trip! 

Thanks for organizing such a brilliant trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Our guides were absolutely fabulous. We spotted 2 leopards on the first day and in the days that followed we saw many more predators! The lodges were superb without exception. One should not overlook the essential role that [Rainbow Tours] provided in planning our trip. I have no idea whether other people ask as many questions, but the end result was a trip of a lifetime.

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for arranging our honeymoon. We had an absolutely amazing time and enjoyed some really special moments, especially at the Selous Safari Camp, which was just a wonderful place.

Mountain guides and porters very helpful and knowledgeable.  Met and exceeded our expectations!

[Rainbow tours] were very responsive, great communications, all arrangements (worked) like clockwork. The documentation was very informative, clear documents. Air Travel went very well, and the itinerary easily accommodated the occasional slight delay. Can’t wait to do it all over again. Thank you so much for putting together an excellent trip.

Our holiday could not have been better.

All guides [in Tanzania and Zanzibar] were excellent, particularly at Selous Safari Camp, (the Rainbow Tours representative in Zanzibar) were also very helpful.

Our guide had outstanding knowledge. He was always willing and courteous. A real gem. Rainbow Tour’s experience made all the difference - the right choices, after emailing or phoning us, every time. (Our ground handler in Tanzania) were really good - the guide was outstanding.

Thanks for all your help - Fab holiday. Everyone who drove us in Tanzania and Zanzibar were charming.

[We] expected high standard standards from Rainbow Tours which were achieved. We are glad we changed the schedule to spend two nights in Nairobi; only one night would have been very tiring.

Awesome ground handlers used, [they were] helpful and professional. Amazing hotels, superb service - we can’t fault them.

Excellent service from Rainbow Tours. Documentation was very thorough. Outstanding guide… hardworking, knowledgeable and trustworthy and happy to work as long as required. Overall satisfaction excellent.

We gave Rob a brief which he fulfilled completely. We wanted the real Africa (in comfort) and his choices of Hotels/route flavour were PERFECT. He hit the nail right on the head in everything, charming chap too. Rob was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide was the best we could have wished for. [The team on the ground] were charming, helpful and prompt.

Our guide was absolutely expert in his knowledge of wildlife in four national parks. Trip of a lifetime. We’ll never forget it! Thanks for fabulous organisational skills of Rob who arranged our trip and Honeymiles list. Really good service from Rainbow Tours.

Many thanks to our consultant for tailoring this trip to suit our needs. We will recommend Rainbow Tours to others as our neightbours did for us. 

This is the second time that I have used Rainbow Tours and once again I have been very happy with both the services received and the properties chosen for me. I would be pleased to recommend the company... Thank you for a great holiday.

I must admit that we have rarely, if ever, had such a successful holiday! Thank you for all your professional expertise which made all of it possible. I think we cannot find one single complaint about the whole holiday. 

The [Tanzania and Madagascar] itinerary was to our taste and all the information given was accurate and easy to follow. On the whole it was most enjoyable trip and we would do it again!
