Let me just say this—Curious on Tanzania gave me the trip of a lifetime. This wasn’t just a vacation; it was an experience. From start to finish, everything was done with love, care, and a level of detail that I’ve never seen before. First off, the blend of luxury and local culture was perfection. We were staying in the lap of luxury one moment, then learning and living the rich history and vibrant traditions of Tanzania the next. It was the best of both worlds! Every meal, every moment, and every interaction felt intentional. We weren’t just tourists passing through—we were part of something special. The hospitality? Unreal. We felt safe, loved, and right at home the whole time. The tour guides? Baby, they were nothing short of amazing. Professional, knowledgeable, and so genuine—like having family show you around. They took care of every little thing, and their love for Tanzania shined through in everything they did. This trip has forever changed me. It wasn’t just about the beautiful landscapes, though they were stunning. It was about the connection—the people, the stories, the culture. I left with so much more than pictures. I left with perspective, gratitude, and a deeper appreciation for life. Curious on Tanzania, y’all did THAT. If you’re thinking about it, don’t think too long—book it. You deserve this experience. Trust me, it’ll stay with you forever.

Overall trip of a lifetime. Had an amazing experience Things that would have helped; Game drive would have been beneficial if driver/guide provided us with information regarding the places and animals we were seeing. He was a great driver but lacked knowledge about the animals we were seeing. We saw some of the driver/guide providing educational information which our driver lacked. there needs to be a streamline in how the schedule/tours are managed daily. We were not made aware of schedule changes and somethings were a surprise to our group. Tanzania and Zanzibar were beautiful apart from otherwise stated everything was great, my group was catered to and taken very good care of.

By Modesta A for Black Girls in Tanzania - Terecienna, Felician, Modesta, Zanita on Sep 10, 2024

Hi Modesta, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent trip! I’m thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience overall and that you found Tanzania and Zanzibar to be beautiful destinations. Its wonderful to hear that you, Terecienna, Felician and Zanita were all taken care of. I appreciate your comments regarding the game drive and schedule management. Your observations about the need for more informative commentary from the driver/guide are valuable. It sounds like you missed out on some of the educational aspects that could have enhanced your experience. I’ll make sure to pass this feedback along to ensure future guides are better equipped to provide detailed information about the wildlife and locations. Regarding the schedule and tour management, it’s clear that better communication is needed to avoid surprises and ensure a smoother experience. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused by the lack of updates. Your input will be helpful in improving how schedule changes are communicated to travelers. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. I’m glad to hear that despite these issues, you and rest of the ladies enjoyed your trip, and I hope this doesn’t overshadow the fantastic memories you created. Safe travels on your future adventures! Asante sana again and I appreciate you. Regards, Justa.
