The secret of a perfect holiday - 9 Days Safari + 6 Days Beach in Tanzania + Zanzibar! The game drive through the northern circuit with our guide and driver Ben was an unique and unforgettable experience. He showed us animals and plants we would have never seen on our own - he brought us at the right time to the right places. My favorites were the hippos in the Serengeti! The beachholiday and all excursions at Zanzibar organised Agness with her local guides to our fullest contentedness. I loved most the breathtaking boatride to Mnemba-Island and our picnic on a sandbank in the ocean. Important to us were also the cultural and historical sites like the "cultural heritage center/african art gallery" and the "national natural history museum" at Arusha. All campsites and lodges chosen by Aggrey and his company were very comfortable, clean and the staff was friendly and competent. Thanks to Aggrey we could enjoy our holiday in 2021 - althought we booked for 2020. Particulary noteworthy is the special and reliable service for all measures and requirements due to the corona pandemic! These days in Tanzania were exciting and we recommend the personally but very professionally acting company "Tanzania Pur Nature and Travel" to all future adventurers!

Safari vom Feinsten Wir - Andrea und Hartmut Ring - haben schon viele Safaris mit Tanzania Pure Nature and Travel zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit durchgeführt. Unsere letzte 5-Tages-Safari im April 2019 hat uns in die Tarangire, Lake Manjara, Ngorongoro Krater, Serengeti und zu den Bushmen geführt. Die gelebte persönliche Rundum-Betreuung von Aggrey Makia und Leokadia Bambe, detaillierte Erläuterungen zu Land, Leuten und der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt in den Parks machen eine Safari mit Tanzania Pure Nature and Travel zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Wir freuen uns auf unsere nächste Reise nach Tansania im Frühjahr 2020 und werden uns wieder ausschließlich dem perfekten Service von Tanzania Pure Nature and Travel anvertrauen.
