Our Mother & Daughter trip to Lake Manayara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was beyond all expectations. Filbert, our guide, teacher and now friend, gave us the most unforgettable experience of Tanzanias wildlife, nature and its incredible people. We will definitely come again using Takims Holidays and we will be asking for Filbert. Asante Sana!
We had an absolutely incredible time. Everything was perfect ! We loved every minute of our trip & we look forward to booking our next one inshallah.
Excellent safari! Thank you to Raymond, our guide, and to Takims staff for a pleasant and adventurous journey. Arusha Coffee Lodge, Tangerine Treetops Lodge and Serengeti Migration Camp Lodge provided 5 star lodging, food, service, and extras. The hospitality was top notch. We were a group of 4 (2 couples ) taken to 3 different locations in Tanzania to see up close a total of 42 animals which included The Big Five, Carnivores, Herbivores, Primates, and Birds. We even saw 2 sets of animals mating! I highly recommend choosing Takims Holidays and requesting Raymond as your guide. I express my gratitude to this travel agency! Elizabeth Harpine Texas USA
We had a wonderful safari with the best guide we could have imagined. Masatu had 17 years’ experience and knew all the best spots for spotting animals. He also took our needs into account (such as toilet stops) and was more than happy to answer all our questions about the animals. The comfortable jeep had a roof that could be raised, so we could see everything clearly. A top guide!!!! An unforgettable safari for our family. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
We had an outstanding experience with Takims Holidays. They arranged an excellent professional guide, Nixon, who gave very knowledgeable explanations about the animals and knew exactly where to find them so that we could take amazing photos. He was extremely friendly and warm, and made us feel very well taken care of throughout the entire trip. All the transfers and transportation services were organised in a very professional way. This company is truly worth recommending.
We had a wonderful experience with Takims Holidays during our recent visit to Tanzania. The team was highly professional and ensured smooth coordination throughout our stay. The safari arrangements in Tarangire and Ngorongoro were exceptional – well-planned, comfortable, and truly memorable. Their attention to detail and hospitality made the overall experience even better. We truly appreciate their support and look forward to continuing our collaboration. Highly recommended for both travel and professional services.
Best hospitality team ever in the park Best view of sunset and sunrise good adventure affordable prices to tourists . Best experience
Excellent and very organized tour operator. Our driver Nerek was just the best! His English was excellent and he was very knowledgeable on Arusha, animals, landscape, etc. He was always on time with a smile each morning. Our accommodations were awesome from safari lodge, bougie tented camp, mobile tent, and farmhouse.... a little bit of everything which we loved experiencing. We did the tree walk which was a nice stop to get out of the jeep and stretch out legs. We loved the Datoga Tribe and Hazabe Tribe tours. For the Hazabe Tribe, it was the highlight for two of my boys. I would note that while we loved it, to inform your decision please note the hike was 5.5 miles in a rugged terrain so wear appropriate clothes, shoes, and bring water. Highly recommend this operator.
Great service, prompt knowledgeable and careful. Great attitude of our guide Gerald made the four days very enjoyable in addition to the amazing breathtaking and unbelievable sights of Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater!!
The trip was amazing! Expertly planned and coordinated by Takims Holidays. We had a great time. After Arusha National Park we visited Ngorongoro crater and saw some spectacular sights! Nassor, our guide is simply awesome, he made the experience 10 times more enjoyable! Fantastic experience overall!!
