I loved every moment I spent with this beautiful group of people. I visited Africa, particularly Tanzania in 2014 for the first time and since then I've been a regular really. What always brings me back you ask, safaris! I love nature, I love wildlife, I love this land. Everything about it is just magical and breathtaking. This year I decided to go an extra mile with my budget and behold, it was worth every dime. Aroyó safari helped me organizing my travel program from the very beginning. They took care of the very small details that I thought not to care much. From arrival to departure, it all worked like a charm. My guides throughout safari Steve and Elia are now my buddies. They taught me so much along the way, showed me best wildlife like I've ever seen before. I ended up extended my stay there for the sheer value of that perfect trip. I would absolutely recommend this amazing company to anyone looking to go to Africa.

Did not go on this tour Reviewed: Oct. 04, 2023 Submitted in:

Do not book with them. I gave them a $5100 deposit 8 months ago, but have been unable to get through to them for the last couple of months. After reading the recent bad reviews on other sites, I started calling the camps and the resort we are supposed to be staying in and found out they have made no reservations in my name. I was hoping it was an oversight and I have called each of Aroyo's numbers repeatedly, but can't get through to them. In addition, my emails are also going unanswered. They were very kind and responsive and helpful back in January when I was booking my trip, but now that they have a big chunk of my money and the trip is getting closer they seem to have disappeared. I have to assume this is a company in financial trouble as it appears from their reviews they were reputable at one time. If you have a trip booked with Aroyo Safari I suggest you start calling around to find out what's going on there. And if you are still considering booking with them, I'd pass. This is a company that should not be trusted with your money. Also, if anyone is aware of an existing class action suit against Aroyo or can steer us toward a Tanzanian agency that will help protect others from this company, please share that info in a review somewhere.

"Moments of the lifetime in Africa. Thanks Tommy and your team"

My family visited Africa for the first time last month and Aroyo Safari hosted us in one of the most remarkable fashion ever. We chose a package for 14 days that would take across East Africa with an aim to just see everything there's to see in the continent.

Being our first time, we were a bit skeptical using a local safari company but after seeing many 5 star reviews we decided to go with this amazing people. Tommy was awesome to work with. Fast responses, detailed answers, literarily one of the best customer care experience I've heard in a long time. Very trustworthy and eloquent.

Arrived in Dar and he was to pick up us for our next flight to Arusha. We then went to Ngorongoro to start our trip. Our guide Beatus was so knowledgeable, friendly and versatile in matters safaris and animals. We saw so many animals. We then went to Serengeti, and saw how everyone would see, a sheer vast-land of beauty. It was heaven!

The lodges were magnificent. Some were far and roads weren't so good to behest but they beauty and location made up for everything else.
I think I can write this for days but won't finish. To make it quick and easy, we visited Rwanda and Kenya too. All courtesy of Aroyo Safari. The planning was the best, the guides, the people who assisted us, I mean all was absolutely majestic.

We would like to recommend this tour operator to anyone looking for an experience of a lifetime. Thanks so much Tommy and your team.

Last month me and my family visited Africa from London, and decided to book with this company. After seeing lots of positive reviews, I contacted them and the rest is history. Tommy and his team planned us a very special treat to Tanzania, Kenya and Botswana. At first our ideal vacation was to go to South Africa, but after Tommy's persuasive prowess, we changed our minds. To say the least, this was beyond perfection. I mean it in every sense of the word, from the beginning to the end, everything just flew so fast.

We saw an incredibly insane number of animals, we stayed in luxurious properties throughout the course of the tour, and all our guides were phenomenal. I could go on and write as much as I could but everything has been written by other guests who I suppose, had an experience as we had. Just go with them if you're looking for something worth remembering in 50 years!

I and a friend of mine took a safari to Tanzania and chose Aroyo Safari to handle it and what an incredible job they did. Preparation was good, car was comfortable and new, good lodges they recommended with all facilities like power, wi-fi, hot showers, pool you mention it. The parks were full of animals, we saw almost all animals I ever imagined from elephants to small squirrels and cheetahs. Serengeti is vast and spectacular to say the least. I've never seen something as big before. It was amazing and we went to Zanzibar too. Warm and sandy beaches. We stayed at Nungwi Dreams lodge. Nice resort in the beach. Great vacation in deed. Tanzania is very friendly country to guests. We loved it. Thank you all for such good times in the wild and Zanzibar.

I recently visited Tanzania as my first ever time in the continent and nothing has been the same ever since. I booked a safari with Aroyo Safaris and it was one of the best decisions I've made. From the initial contact, everything went so smoothly. Planned a very good itinerary, was expensive yes, but I after some research I figured it was worth it.
From arrival in the Kilimanjaro airport to the lodges, to the parks with my guide, it was just superb. The landscape, the people, the animals we saw in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, I couldn't believe my eyes. At some point we even saw a fight between hyenas and lions, how many times do you get to see that?
Very special moments. Food was delicious and fresh, lodges were clean and very comfortable. It was all silence at night, with no electricity, just dark and peaceful.
I loved everything about this tour.

This was very well planned trip for me as solo traveler. It's not always easy to work out the detail especially when it comes to intercontinental travel but these Tommy and his team came through remarkably. Planned a very good 5 days program that ensured me I see all the goodies in the parks and, voila, everything just turned out amazing.

Lodges were so good, I didn't really expect the sophistication level in these places. Top notch. My guide & driver Henry was a good companion for almost six days we spent together since I landed in Tanzania.

This one I definitely recommend.
