Why Taswira?

Experience - Our guides are not only qualified professional safari tour guides, but extremely experienced, with a minimum of 10 years working experience and ongoing in-house training and up to date First Aid.

We care about our guides - Our salaries are higher than the industry average, which is highly unusual in the Tanzanian tourism sector where guides often do not get paid and rely only on tips, which is unethical, insecure for the guides and puts unnecessary pressure on clients. We believe tipping should be at the client’s discretion and an added bonus if you feel so inclined.

Our vehicles are safe - Our vehicles are fully serviced after every trip and we do not do back-to-back safaris with the same vehicles and guides.

Distance Isn't a problem - We have no limits on distance for the guides, therefore they can travel as far as needed to give the clients the best chance of game-viewing (without the crowds)

We care about the environment - We aim to minimise our environmental impact in all areas of our work. We supply each client with a stainless-steel refillable water bottle, rather than single use plastic bottles. Our trips are 100% plastic-free.

We care about the community - We financially support a local charity - Umoja Tanzania, who provide education and development services to vulnerable teenagers.

Your safety is of utmost importance - All of our clients are provided with medical evacuation insurance in case of a medical emergency, with access to flying doctors.

“'Safari's With Vision' ..couldn’t be more true. George has eagle eyes and has a knack for finding game where others don’t. Don’t underestimate this gift because otherwise you will just be following the crowds of other tourists. Thank you for a wonderful experience George and Caroline.” (Margo, Dubai)

“Fabulous holiday! We have just come back from a tour with Taswira, and have to say that it was one of the best holidays I have ever had. Went with members of a club I belong to, everyone says the same thing, great holiday. The annual migration had started and there were thousands of animals to be seen. The guides made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see; and we saw it all. I didn't want it to finish. Can’t thanks George and Alpha and Saidi enough for the fantastic experience of a lifetime.” (Lynne, Australia)

“When most people think about going on Safari they probably don't consider Tanzania. They don't know what they are missing! From start to finish the trip was 100% perfect. The accommodation was excellent, the food was excellent, the guides were considerate of anyone with mobility issues. We saw everything! The key to a good safari is knowing that safety is a priority, and that you will get to experience the animals you came to see. With Taswira African Safaris you will get just that. I would not hesitate in recommending Taswira for your safari in Tanzania. You won't regret it.” (Julie, Australia)

“A most wonderful safari experience… One of many highlights being a large pride of magnificent lionesses and gorgeous animated cubs who emerged at sunset to our absolute joy. We were mesmerised! Heartily recommend Taswira Africa Safaris - we have such vivid and unforgettable memories!" (Karen, USA)

“We can’t speak highly enough of the excellent service provided in every aspect of our safari. From the clean, comfortable safari vehicle, to the incredibly knowledgeable commentary provided by our witty and affable guide, delivered in excellent English. I highly recommend Taswira Africa Safaris for your bucket list trip to beautiful Tanzania.” (Lucinda & Peter, Australia)

“As a 1st timer to Africa, I couldn't help but feel a little bit nervous at the start. Any doubts I had about the organisation was dispelled from the minute we were met at Kilimanjaro airport by our guides…Their knowledge of the Serengeti was brilliant. They knew just where to go to see the most amazing sights, whether it was the frolicking of the Hippos, to lions catching dinner, and everything in between. Endless queues of zebras and wildebeest, you just had to be there.” (Severia, Australia)

“WOW! What an amazing experience. If you would like a memorable Safari of a lifetime you have to go with… Taswira Africa Safaris. Our guides, George, Alpha and Saidi were exceptional and at no time did we feel unsafe. We watched extraordinary sunrises and sunsets in the Serengeti. Every day was a fabulous new experience. We didn't want it to end!” (Rod & Maureen, Australia)
