I would go back to Tanzania with Thomson Safaris in a second! Review: Michal S.
Michael and I found our trip to be transformative, illuminating. For the first couple of weeks home, our nights were filled with dreams of Tanzania. I would go back—with Thomson Safaris—in a second.
John, Hashim, and Abu are amazing: Great naturalists who can explain about everything from elephants to baobab trees while tip-toeing a jeep down an impossible road. Please tell them Asante sana!!
I did not expect to be as affected by people and their lives as I was. The schoolkids were great. We were impressed by the level of the 5th-grade math books we saw, and happy to learn that Thomson helps support them. Even the food was good…the last thing I thought about in anticipating our trip. Tasty and healthy!
Thomson really does put a lot of time and effort into anticipating all the details of each trip to produce the best visitor experience possible.

Highlights of Tanzania Safari Review: Pam H.
We had fabulous weather, sightings and great guides & comfortable campsites. I was so appreciative of all the fine young men who worked at the camps…their kindness, efficiency and eagerness to make us feel welcome. I’ll never understand how they are able to serve a gourmet meal without electricity and a well-stocked kitchen. They were truly fabulous & I felt safe the entire trip.
I really enjoyed the variety of places we were able to visit…the Oldupai Gorge, the Massai village and Ikoma where we watched the women make baskets and see how they live.
I admire how Judi and Rick give back to the communities by supporting the handiwork of the women and the individuals at the Shanga Workshop. I thought the craftsmanship at the Shanga Workshop was truly outstanding. It was remarkable that they were incorporating recycled materials. I really liked knowing more about the communities we visited.
Without reservation, I would recommend Thomson Safaris to my friends, family and colleagues.

Meeting the Maasai was a Safari Highlight: Rich B. Signature Thomson Review
When I first read the itinerary and saw the amount of time devoted to the Maasai, I was disappointed. I thought it would be somewhat commercialized and that the time would be better spent on additional game drives. However, I could have not been more wrong. The Maasai activities were outstanding. Very well-planned and executed. A true highlight of the safari.
Johnson and Amos took excellent care of us and we came away with an understanding of the Maasai that would have never been possible had Thomson not included these activities in our itinerary.

“I am still dreaming about Africa,” Signature Thomson Safari Review: Nancy A.
I had the best time of my life in Tanzania. Over the last 20 years, I have traveled extensively; but this Safari was the best trip ever. The Thomson staff was incredible; every one of them…Thank you Charles, Patrick and Leonard for making this journey the most amazing experience of my life. I am so grateful I chose Thomson.
I had the privilege to meet fantastic people and made some new friends along the way. There are no words to describe my trip to Tanzania; the people, the animals, the nature, the sceneries… I was blown away.
The Tanzanians’ culture is complex and fascinating; their traditions are interesting, beautiful and unique. The resilience of the African people is inspiring; and I understand now why you can leave Africa but Africa will never leave you… I am still dreaming about Africa.
Thank you again for introducing me to Tanzania. I can not wait to go back.

Signature Thomson Safari Review: Ruth S.
How can I ever thank you, and all of the Thomson staff, for the most incredible trip of a lifetime – truly my dream come true! I’ve already had 5 friends ask me the name of my tour operator – I told them Thomson is absolutely top notch!!
The safari was wonderful and the animals were magnificent! I loved the visit to the school and dancing with the children – we were all so excited to give them the school supplies.
Our guides, Willie, Phanuel, James and Kumbi were fantastic – so much fun, knowledgeable and so professional! The staff at our camps, and Gibb’s Farm, could not have been more gracious or helpful!
I’m proudly wearing my bracelet that I bought at the women’s cooperative.
It was a privilege to travel with Thomson Safaris!! Many thanks!

Thomson Signature Safari Review: Karen W.
The Maasai Women’s Collaborative was fabulous and the Boma visit too! Arnold was super professional and a terrific source of information and I always felt like he had everything totally under control. I can’t really imagine a better head guide or group leader. Samson was also a joy to be around. He was pleasant, happy, professional, experienced and always glad to help out.
