Africa - a once in a lifetime trip & so much more than we could have ever dreamed of :) - We had so many close encounters with lots of different animals. Close enough to reach out & touch - but, of course, we didn't!! We were close enough to the big 5 to get good photos. We saw animals in many different settings, so got to observe them do what they do! The housing provided offered quite the experiences - all good! We stayed in the animals back (or front) yards - no fences! The food served to us was delicious & way to much, lol, but we did out best to consume all the prepared food including fresh local produce! The weather was perfect - some hot days, some rain, but the animals didn't care about the weather! The 2 guides were excellent drivers. I don't know how they manage to navigate out there - when a road is washed out/closed, they find the alternate ones. Our guides are well known & liked (Erick must have known everyone out there by name!!) & communicate with other guides to find the animals that are harder to find & then they get us there to see them! We saw a brilliant full rainbow with such vibrant colors & animals everywhere - Noah's Ark! I now know what is at the end of a rainbow - zebras at one end & wildebeests at the other (much better than a pot of gold!). Erick has so much knowledge of the animals, including birds, the vegetation, & people of Tanzania; he willingly answered all our questions and shared his insights & stories (of course we believed everything he told us - until he burst out laughing!!). The other couple in our jeep agree that Erick was awesome & we miss being around him after 11 days together; it was hard to say goodbye. We went through Elite Travel & Susan Reinkens. She has done this trip 4 times now. She requested Manny (Emmanual) as a guide & he requested Erick Mpangala to work with him - we are so grateful to get to know them both! We will be talking about & remembering this trip for a loooong time!

Amazing safari experience with Frank from Roy safaris - We did a safari with Roy safaris and had Frank as a tour guide. He was INCREDIBLE. Frank made the 7 day trip truly magical. He was so attentive, so knowledgeable, always offering interesting anecdotes and facts about the places we were in, animals we saw, and so much more. We are so glad we lucked out with him as our guide, and recommend that anyone doing a safari in Tanzania request him.

An Unforgettable Safari! - We booked our Safari vacation with Roy Safaris and it was absolutely amazing! Our driver was Emmanuel! He was a fantastic driver and so knowledgeable of all the animals in the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and the Ngorogoro crater! He knew exactly where and how to spot the animals! He was our live Discovery Channel! Absolutely amazing! A trip we will never forget! Thank you!

Roy Safari with Simon as the guide - I was hesitant to go on a Safari. I thought being outdoors would not be my kind of trip. My husband and I went with my brother and his wife. It was an experience of a lifetime! It’s still so hard to wrap my mind around everything we saw. We were blessed with the BEST guide whose name is Simon. He speaks English! I recommend that you request him when you go on a Safari with Roys Safari. He was very knowledgeable about all the animals and told us their names and their habits. Simon was a lot of fun and has a great personality. He found us the big five. Lions, leopards, Cape buffalo, elephants and Rhinos. Every day we saw lions, sometimes as many as 20 in one group. We saw baboons, lots of hippopotamuses, giraffes, zebras. The highlight of the trip was watching the migration of the wildebeest crossing the Mara river. Simon got us a spot right next to where they were crossing the river. The wildebeest were within a couple of feet of our Safari vehicle. Simon also got us within a couple of feet of a large pride of lions. Twice he found us lions who had just killed a zebra and were eating it. We saw leopards in trees napping. Cheetahs and a female lion that were hunting and chasing their prey. I enjoyed the hippo 🦛 ponds. The giraffes were my favorite. They are so graceful and beautiful. They are the national animal of Tanzania. Everyday I woke up excited for the days adventure. The camps we stayed in were staffed with wonderful people who fed us well and were so helpful. Tanzania is a beautiful country.

Trip of a lifetime - Roy’s Safaris did an outstanding job of arranging our safari. They handled all the trip details including our flight arrangements from Iringa. The custom safari vehicles were well maintained which was reassuring as we encountered several broken from other companies during our trip. Our driver/guide Simon was extremely knowledgeable about Tanzania, its culture, and its wildlife. Simon was very skilled at locating birds and animals throughout our safari using his well honed skills along with also working closely with other drivers. We had the opportunity to view lions, cheetahs, leopards, black rhinoceros, elephants, hippos , hyenas jackals, all grazing animals, and numerous birds. Would highly recommend Roy’s Safaris

Game viewing Tanzania - It met all our expectations. Roy Safaris and the MD - Sanjiv Pandit- ensured we had a memorable trip to the Game parks from Arusha. We were picked up from Nairobi on time. Very good roads from Nairobi to Arusha. Had 1/2 a day sighseeing in Arusha before leaving the next morning for Tarangiri, Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti over the following days. Drove upto the Mara River in Serengeti to see the wilderbeast migration. A must on any itenerary. Our guide - Eric- is one of their senior guides with over 20 years experience. A Gentleman and an excellent guide. He made our safari memorable. Some day drives were long but OK for adults. For Children in tow, I would recomment internal flights within the game parks. Roy Safaris were extremely flexible and will tailor (with recommendations) to your needs. We flew from Kogatende airfield near the Mara River to Zanzibar. All organsied by Roy Safaris inc sending some of our suitcases on Zanzibar without having to lug them around. I would recommend Roy Safaris for planning a trip to any game parks in Tanzania

Best Safari and Guide Ever! - It was a fantastic safari. We saw all of the “Big 5” plus many more. Our guide, Emmanuel, was awesome. He would tell us interesting facts as we went along. He could spot the animals way before we saw them. We’ve been on many safaris and Roy Safari’s and Emmanuel is the best of all of them!

Fantastic first time safari experience - I just returned from an unforgettable fabulous safari tour through Roy’s safari! My husband booked a private 10 day safari with your company for me , his friend and brother in law to see Tanzania ( Tarangire, lake Menyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti and Northern Serengeti) . He has used your company before in 2017 and was extremely excited and pleased with the planning and details and the overall experience that he booked Roy’s Safari again. In fact at the last visit, he was assigned a fantastic , experienced guide named Salvatory that he requested him again and fortunately Salvatory was available for the latter 8 days of our current tour. The first 2 days, we had Nicolas who was also exceptional. We spent 2 nights Tarangire at Sopa, 2 nights Kubukubu, 1 night Ngorongoro Retreat, 1 night at Melia , 3 nights at Mara Mara tent lodge. All the accommodations were comfortable, well staffed, excellent food, clean and insect free. Ngorongoro Retreat was tucked away near a village but once one entered the property, it was one of the most spectacular oasis I’ve been too. I wish we had a few more nights to fully enjoy this place. Melia was also a “wow” and had the most spectacular breathtaking views of the crater. No one in our group got sick from the food at any of the lodgings. The staff did a great job preparing our picnic breakfasts and lunches when needed with a wonderful variety of choices of food. The guides were a league of their own and they knew where some of the best sightings of animals might be. Salvatory is especially trained to position the jeep around the animal sighting to get the best lighting and best possible photos . Both guides kept us safe , made sure we had fun and did their best to make sure we saw the highlights. They were extremely knowledgeable with over 25 years of experience . We managed to see most of the animals and birds this area is known for . We were given a pamphlet to check off each animal or bird sighting when we saw it and I managed to check off all the animal sightings. We even witnessed three Great Wildebeest migration crossings while at northern Serengeti at Mara Mara River. Almost daily we saw fantastic sunrises and sunsets. We witnessed aftermaths of predators killing their prey . For those who are serious photographers with SLR’s, Salvatory gives wonderful tips on capturing the best photos. Be open to his suggestions and recommendations and you will be surprised at your ability to capture unique moments in nature . Both guides were enthusiastic, energetic, friendly , experienced and accommodating. I loved that both guides took us to areas where there were less jeeps - so we could have clear viewings and be able to take unobstructed photos without other vehicles in the way. The jeeps themselves had comfortable seats, a well designed pop up roof , were roomy with an extra row of seats removed to allow for easy movement and had large windows for viewing . One could close the windows if it was too windy and dusty . If you are thinking of booking a safari in Tanzania, I would highly recommend Roy’s Safari . For someone like me who has never experienced a safari adventure, Roy’s Safari made it a memorable, fun, fantastic experience. Thank you !!

A unique experience with a shock team! - We spent 6 exceptional Safari days in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central and North Serengeti.
