I used Dolphin Tours & Safari to plan a 10 day vacation in Tanzania for my mom & myself. This was our first trip to Africa, let alone Tanzania. I... read more worked with Zaki, at Dolphin tours as he came recommended from a friend and he helped me plan our entire vacation - 6 days of safari and 3 days in Zanzibar.

I had quotes from three different travel agents, all through recommendations, but decided to go with Zaki (Dolphin Tours) as he was very responsive, he spent a lot of time with me on the phone explaining things, recommending which National parks to go to and suggesting nice accommodations in our budget. Zaki took care of the everything for us, all I had to do was transfer the money and enjoy our vacation.

On our arrival, we were given a welcome gift, a huge snack bag (with chips, nuts, cookies, etc.) and bottled water for our entire 6 days on safari.

Zaki, sent us an excellent safari guide “Swedi”, you need to ask for him . Swedi was so good, he gave us a great safari experience, very good at spotting animals. During our trip we saw all the African Big 5 multiple times. Zaki & Swedi also arranged a surprise bush lunch for us, which was so sweet of them. My mom was so pleasantly surprised and loved the food, it was a good break from boxed picnic lunches, that we had everyday during safari.

On our last day of safari, we wanted to try local Tanzanian food, and Swedi arranged that for us by calling a local mama.

I would personally recommend working with Zaki & Swedi at Dolphin Tours & Safari for your next trip to Tanzania. Some of our personal favorite camps & hotels were - Burunge Tented Lodge, Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Camp, Serengeti Sound of Silence, and Marijani Beach Resort

I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari in Tanzania with Dolphin Tours, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best... read more experiences of my life.

The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and the environment, and he made sure that we had an up-close and personal experience with all of the wildlife from the safety of the jeep of course.

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the zebras, monkeys, giraffe, and hundreds of flamingos. It was truly awe-inspiring to be in such close proximity to these beautiful creatures and to see them in their natural habitats.

Overall, I would highly recommend Dolphin Tours to anyone looking for an incredible safari experience in Tanzania. The guides were top-notch, the transportation was fantastic, and the wildlife sightings were truly unforgettable. I can't wait to go back and experience it all again!

We had... read more the same guide, Elisha, the entire time and he was fantastic. Always on time, helpful, funny and knowledgeable. It is hard to describe how fantastic the trip was but it was seamless because of Dolphin and Elisha.

I highly recommend Dolphin for anyone going to Tanzania. I will be recommending them to everyone I know.

  Amazing experience for a Safari trip in Tanzania. Our guide was really good! 100% recommend them for the best Safari experience and activities throughout the country!

He was great... read more with kids, and had an exceptional knowledge of the wild! He stopped to show us unique trees, birds and some of the best game of serengeti!
On the last day, we jokingly made the request of being able to see a lion hunt. Due to the time constraints he although said it seemed quite impossible as it was already afternoon.. but he still managed to make it happen for us!
We had the most incredible experience and we would highly recommend Dolphin Tours to anyone planning their next trip to Serengeti. You cannot go wrong with them.

The Dolphin management team were also extra helpful in organising the safari and all our transfers and even provided lunch which was delicious. They went the extra effort to even meet and greet us the day before the tour started.

Would definitely recommend Dolphin to any friends / family who are coming to Tanzania and want a great seamless safari experience.
