What Our Travellers Say

Real stories from travellers who experienced Tanzania with us.

S

Sarah & James Mitchell

United Kingdom

5 out of 5 stars

"Our 10-day safari and Zanzibar package was, without question, the most extraordinary experience of our lives. The guide's knowledge was encyclopedic — he predicted a cheetah kill 20 minutes before it happened. Ngorongoro brought us within 40 metres of a black rhino. The Zanzibar finish felt like a reward after the intensity of the bush. OJ Adventures handled every detail perfectly. We will be back."

"The 7-day Northern Circuit was my first safari and I was overwhelmed in the best possible way. Tarangire's elephant herds on day one — I counted over 150 animals crossing the river simultaneously. Ngorongoro's crater floor at dawn, with the mist still rolling across the caldera, was something from a dream. The Serengeti on days five and six put everything else in perspective: the scale is simply incomprehensible until you are inside it. Thank you OJ Adventures for showing me what my continent contains."

"The February calving season safari in the Serengeti exceeded every expectation I had. 8,000 wildebeest calves born per day — the predator action was constant and extraordinary. Our guide tracked a cheetah family for two hours until they made a successful hunt 50 metres from our vehicle. Then we watched as a pride of lions attempted to steal the kill. I've been on four safaris across Africa and this was the best. OJ Adventures is the real deal — locally owned, expertly run."

5 out of 5 stars

"I chose OJ Adventures for my Lemosho Route climb after extensive research. Reaching Uhuru Peak at sunrise — watching the shadow of Kilimanjaro stretch across the clouds below — is something I will carry for the rest of my life. The mountain crew were exceptional: professional, encouraging, and genuinely invested in getting us to the top safely. The 'Pole Pole' philosophy, which I initially found frustratingly slow, turned out to be exactly right. I would not change a single thing."

Elena & Marco Russo

Italy

5 out of 5 stars

"We stayed at Nungwi for our Zanzibar beach days and followed OJ Adventures' advice exactly — tide-independent swimming all day, incredible sunset views, and the most beautiful water we have ever seen. The Prison Island tortoise visit was genuinely moving — feeding an animal that was alive before the First World War. The spice tour was fascinating for our food-obsessed family. Stone Town is extraordinary. We are already planning to return and add Serengeti next time."
