Honestly 100/10

With 54 countries to choose from, I wanted to settle on one, which would define the journey of exploring the beautiful continent and our motherland, Africa. After much thought and indecisiveness, I settled on Tanzania. This inaugural trip to Africa, was to celebrate a milestone birthday and I wanted to be accompanied by close family and friends, so ensuring it was an enjoyable trip for all, was a priority. After attempting to plan the trip on my own, it became overwhelming and it was obvious that I needed assistance. I first heard about "Curious on Tanzania" through a referral from a friend who'd travel to Tanzania in 2020 and deciding to go with this travel company was the best decision I ever made. After reaching out to Justa, who founded this boutique, black-owned travel company, we had a phone consultation and in a few days, she sent a draft itinerary for my travel party to review within my specified budget. I recall telling Justa that I wanted my experience to be around culture, history, adventure and relaxation and she curated an experience that perfectly captured those interests. In the months leading up to the travel date, Justa and I frequently communicated and I even provided her with additional requests, such as a birthday photoshoot, birthday cake, makeup artist and photoshoot outfit, and without any hesitation, she agreed to make it happen. Fast forward to the actual trip in October 2022, and the entire experience was nothing short of AMAZING. Justa and her team made my family and I feel like we were the only ones being catered to. The accommodations were excellent, the tour guides and drivers were kind, knowledgeable, patient, dependable and personable. We didn't have to worry about anything, except be on time for the drivers to take us to the various activities/areas. Justa's flexibility is also commendable, as she inserted activities during the trip, which she felt would be of additional value and interest, at no additional cost. I commend Justa and her team for the great work they do in providing these curated and unforgettable experiences to persons like me. If you have a burning desire to travel to Tanzania or any other African country, but do not know where to begin, I highly recommend reaching out to "Curious on Tanzania'' and you will not be disappointed. Thanks Justa and team!

The tour guides were awesome and friendly especially Shooby and Saida!! The Maru Maru was in tourist area so frequently accosted by guys selling stuff. Stone town has a ton of shopping, a lot to walk around to see, and get ready to haggle! Beautiful city and water. Nungwi Dreams is off the beaten path not as busy area as Stone Town. Nungwi Dreams hotel is on beautiful white sands, blue water beach! Food at both hotels was "okay", the better food offered was at Nungwi Dreams when had outside buffet and performance. Zanzibar is a beautiful place!
