Perfect safari experience - This was our first time in Africa. And I am happy we did safari with RajaTours! For Kenya part we had experienced guide Chris who showed us Masai Mara. And our Tanzania guide Allen was just amazing! He showed us lions so close we couldn’t even expect! We saw leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, rhino. All the big 5! And so many animals and birds I am even not capable to enlist here. Also Allen took care of us after safari and helped with hotel and bus arrangements. We are absolutely happy and definitely will be back next year!

Everything taken care of - We did the 6 night / 7 day tour of Kenya and Tanzania. Everything was taken care of by Rajab and the guides who went the extra mile in making sure we were happy (we had the brilliant Chris in Kenya and Amani in Tanzania).
We saw everything we wanted to see, and it was a sensational experience.
As vegan travellers we were well fed everywhere, though there was better understanding of requirements on the Kenyan side.
Just double check your accommodation before you go - a couple of places were different to what we expected, though we were happy with everywhere we stayed - staff in all accommodations are very welcoming. Don’t hesitate to book with Raja Tours - the value for money is outstanding.

Book this tour and do it with Rajabu + Fredy!! - Pro tip: fly into Nairobi, do Maasai Mara > Serengeti > Ngorongoro > Tarangire, and request Fredy.
Unforgettable experience. Rajabu was wonderful to work with from day 1. He was so accommodating to all of my requests and set us up with the best lodging for our 6 day safari. Our transfer from Kenya to Tanzania was flawless with a really seamless handoff between drivers.
The most memorable part of the trip was getting to see the Big 5 in rare form: a leopard eating its prey in a tree, 2 rhinos mating, a lion eating fresh kill, baby elephants, and a never ending herd of buffalo. All of this was possible with the guidance of Fredy who is the king of Safari. He can spot anything from a million miles away and always has the right sense for where something might be. Not only that, but he is just a wonderful person and my partner and I had such a great time bonding with him throughout the week. He even surprised us with an arranged cake at one of our lodges for my partners birthday. Fredy is so passionate about the animals and it excited us to see how excited he got, as well. We could not have asked for a better guide or partner in crime to explore these parks with.
Thank you Rajabu and Fredy for a truly magical week. I’m still glowing!!

Safari - Freddy was our guide/driver and he was the absolute best. We saw the big 5, including two rhinos mating. We also saw an albino giraffe. He is super friendly, calm, and caring. He arranged for a surprise birthday celebration for me at one of our lodges. Overall 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone.

Raja Tours will make your trip memorable and easy! - My friend and I planned a somewhat last minute trip to Africa. We weren't sure if our flight would make it on time for our tour but it didn't matter. I was able to keep in communication with them and said they could be flexible depending on what happened with our flights. We did make it there as expected and Alan was ready for us! He did an excellent job when we were with him in Tanzania. He made sure we were always ok, that he made sure we were able to see the Big 5 and really made our time there an amazing experience. We had a variety of overnight stays which were all great and the staff at each place was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I would definitely use Raja Tours again and will recommend them to friends in the future.

Magical safari experience with RajaTours - Raja was one of the few tour companies offering a specific mix of a Kenyan and Tanzanian safari experience which I was seeking and with genuinely affordable rates compared to competitors. I am so happy I narrowed the choices down and went with Raja in the end! Our 6 days spent exploring the Masai Mara (with Tom) and Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara (with Omar) has made for one the most memorable and impactful experiences of my life.
Raja (who I believe owns the company and helps to organise the tour) was available any time I needed and would answer my questions with speed. When you’re planning a safari trip, this is very much appreciated as it can be a daunting task! Every detail was well thought out, from the drives to the accommodations - which resulted in a seamless experience overall. A huge thanks to Raja for all his assistance in making my safari dream a reality.
With the experience of both Tom and Omar combined, and a little luck, I was grateful to be able to witness the big five in all their glory as well as many more incredible animals. Nothing beats the feeling of watching these great creatures in their natural habitat. Both guides were incredibly helpful and remained flexible to any specific requests we had - from sourcing a SIM card in Tanzania to chasing down a stunning sunset in the Masai.
From the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you to everyone who made this safari a reality for me. Every moment and memory will hold a special place in my heart for life!
Don’t hesitate to book with Raja! You won’t regret it.

Highly recommended tour - We went on a 5-day safari in Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Masai Mara. The part in Tanzania with our guide Alen was incredible. We enjoyed excellent accommodation and food. Alen knew all the best spots in the national parks.
We ran into a small issue in Masai Mara, but Rajatour quickly fixed it. Overall, we highly recommend this tour. We had a great time for Safari here!

6 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania and Kilimanjaro day hike - After much research, we decided to go with Rajatours for the combined 6 day Kenya and Tanzania safari as it was really competitively priced. The tour was well organised, all accommodation was superb and all meals provided were very good. Our favourite place to stay was the Osero tented camp in Serengeti and best experience was the sunrise balloon safari over Maasai Mara.
Our guide in Kenya was Tom and he was so enthusiastic and knowledgable and an exceptional driver especially when we found ourselves caught in a heavy thunderstorm! However, our guide on the Tanzania side let things down as he did not seem interested and only ever gave us one word answers to our questions. I'm not sure he fully understood us at times and would text on his phone instead of talking to us at mealtimes as well. It was a bit like having a moody teenager on honeymoon with us- not ideal!
We also booked the day hike on Kilimanjaro and our tour guide Jackson was brilliant. Raja also kindly organised for the driver to take us to the airport that evening as we were flying to Zanzibar.
Overall, a brilliant experience and I would definitely recommend. However I would have preferred more communication about what time and where to meet the guides in advance as I was a bit unsure what the plan was and had to chase this up within 24 hours of the tours starting.
