What Our Traveler Say About Our Tour Services
Verified The safari was fantastic, by knowledgeable guides and the good care of Joseph. In September 2025 I went on safari with safari company Northern Heritage Tanzania from Arusha to Mkomazi National Park. That was a fantastic experience. Joseph, the guide, was fantastic and arranged everything for me. Slept wonderfully in Tembo hotel, 8 km away from the park entrance. The park offers grand views of Tanzania's beautiful landscape. We have spotted many animals and birds. The park has a closed part where rhinos are bred. We have seen several rhinos, including small ones. Great initiative to protect these animals. In that part of the park, to protect the rhinos, you will not encounter elephants, lions and bison, but in the rest of the park you will. Very special to be able to see the rhinos up close. In addition, there is a shelter (and breeding program) of wild dogs, also an endangered species. The guides are very knowledgeable and give a lot of information.The next day we walked, with a guide, over the market in Same, also with a local guide. Lots to see including (local, medicinal) herbs, fresh fruit and vegetables etc etc.Posted on Ilse1964Verified GLACIER!!

Complete and great safaris with the guide Kasper, very serious who knows perfectly the parks and allowed us to see notably many lions, leopard, cheetahs, rhinoceros,....Without forgetting the cook Isanga who cooked us every day delicious Tanzanian dishes with fresh produce while making the markets Claire and GilbertPosted on Gilbert mVerified From Serengeti to Ngorongoro-eveey moment was magical.. Honestly, I have never imagined a place like Tanzania. Our six day trip was one of the best experiences of our lives. This trip with Aglow Safaris was like a dream.It all started in Arusha, where our guide Hassan greeted us with a smile. The way I saw the huge elephants in Tarangire National Park on the first day, it felt like I had become a part of a documentary. Hassan knew every corner of the park, as if the forest was his home!Serengeti was the next destination. My wife and I were amazed to see lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and zebras all day long in the car. One evening we stopped the car and watched the sunset-there was an eerie calm in the silence, the color, and the breeze.On the way to Ngorongoro Crater, Hassan told us many stories about the local Maasai culture. One afternoon we stopped in a small village, where the hospitality of the people is still touching.All in all, Aglow Safaris didn't just show off the wildlife; they let us touch the soul of Tanzania. Their planning, punctuality, and care for the little things made our trip perfect.I want to relive every moment of this journey. For those who love nature and want a different experience, Aglow team is undoubtedly the best..!!Posted on Ryan Rui ChenVerified Totally amazing 😍🤩 Aglow Safaris is not just a tour company, they are a way to connect with nature. If you ever want to have a real African experience, close your eyes and walk with them. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!Posted on Nana MoriVerified A dreamlike nine day Tanzania Safari..! The trip began with a long-held dream—the desire to do a real African safari. When the opportunity for this 9-day safari came, I packed my bags and went out without any hesitation. On the first day, starting from Arusha, we went to Tarangire. The area is huge, and the wildlife is incredible. One moment still floats in the eye—a large herd of elephants stood in the middle of the road, and we waited patiently so as not to break the laws of nature. And it was even more incredible than I could have imagined. The local guide said that such scenes are not seen very often, and we were lucky.Then Lake Manyara, where I saw lions and thousands of wildebeest and zebra migrating through the vast expanse of grassland, and in the evening the roar of the lions was heard right next to the camp—a stirring experience! Finally, as soon as I entered the Ngorongoro Crater, I was transported to a new world. Every moment of this trip was memorable.Posted on Nana MoriVerified It's a four-day Tanzania Safari!!!! We had a wonderful 4-day trip to Tanzania. The beginning was from Tarangire National Park, where the magnificent single of elephant and baobabs resting under the huge trees was really impressive. From there, we head to the Serengeti, where the endless meadows and myriad wildlife make us feel breathless,,,,🥰☺️The most amazing part of the safari was the Ngorongoro Crater. The moment I stepped into the crater in the morning's soft sunshine was like a dream. The management of the tourist organization was commendable—the guide was very knowledgeable and experienced..Posted on Raul SVerified Our safari excursion was fantastic!! It was a wonderful experience to explore the African wilderness! Each day of the five-day safari reveals something remarkable—from watching herds of elephants drink water peacefully at sunrise to watching lions resting in the shade of acacia trees. The most breathtaking moment was to see a leopard chasing a lightning-quick antelope after its prey. The ever-changing rhythm of nature makes every moment unexpected and exciting. The beauty, serenity, and raw energy of the wild have left an everlasting impression on my heart.Posted on Eszter M
