We were very lucky to have found DETASA as your services were outstanding! Our guide Ayubu was the best. He knew everything, everywhere to go to, the best viewing, and totally knowledgeable about everything Africa. He is so well known and respected on the circuit. A wonderful personality and he became our friend as well. Innocent went out of his way to help one of our members find a pair of boots for her climb and they worked out splendidly. Ayubu did some local touring with us in Arush and took us for a fun and informative walk one afternoon, on his day off. Again, a wonderful trip and well worth the money. We felt we found a fabulous bargain given all of the outstanding hotel accommodations, out of this world safari, service and the great friendships we made on the trip. Wayne and Denise July 2010
Just got back from the trip and wanted to say that the arrangements exceeded my expectations. On Kilimanjaro Ben, Mhina, Busta and Ari were excellent guides who made sure we were safe and able to continue especially when we were freezing cold during the ascent to crater camp. I definitely would not have made it to the top without them. The porters were also superb. We were well fed with delicious food and above all, well taken care of. The safari was also excellent. Ayubu is an excellent spotter who tried his utmost to ensure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. He's a great resource who is also passionate about what he does and you can feel it even through the long hours of driving he did. I am more than happy to recommend detasa to my friends. The people you have clearly love Tanzania and that really makes the trip more meaningful! Cheryl July 2010
I want to thank you for the memorable safari that I took with my family, As soon as you met us at the airport, I felt we were in good hands and would be taken care of. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. This was a once in a lifetime trip and our choice to use Detasa was the best decision we made. All of the hotels had excellent service, comfortable rooms and wonderful views. Most of friends and associates are very interested in my photos from the trip and i will recommend your company to anyone interested in an African journey! Edna
On a scale on 1-10 (with 10 the best) our trip was a 12! The crew was wonderful, every one of them! They gave a very good image of the Tanzanian people. Detasa did a good job of preparing us and the accommodations they chose were the best! Sandra and Mark
Because our group wanted to
reach the summit via the more challenging Western Breach, we had some
difficulty finding a tour operator that would accommodate us with our small
group of three, and our travel dates, considering that we also had to fit in
the Kilimanjaro Half-Marathon after the climb (ouch), and then a safari!
Destination Tanzania Safaris was the best-rated outfit that we could find
within our budget, and I can't imagine having found a more professional,
courteous, and safety conscious group. It was a cold and challenging climb -
made as comfortable as it could possible be (the food was great!). It was a
great trip, thanks to Innocent and Karen who helped with our itinerary (and
more), and to our fantastic guide - Bonaventure, and finally thanks to each
and every Detasa team member that was involved in the trip, and there were
lots.
My daughter and I had a fantastic trip. We were able to summit Kilimanjaro, go on Safari and spend some time at the beach in Zanzibar. We received very personalized service throughout the trip. On Kilimanjaro, it was clear that there is a wide variety of options in guide services. Destination Tanzania is one of the best. I enjoyed watching the interactions within our crew and with the others. It was clear that our porters were treated well by Detasa and in turn they treated us very well. Many of the other guide services seemed to be struggling with their equipment or their teammates. Justin did a great job of making sure we received anything we needed and was very professional in his approach to helping us summit. It was well organized, with excellent meals and equipment. Our Safari was memorable in many ways. Hussein was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of our safari. He always put us in the best position to see the animals and provided context for what we were seeing. We were lucky enough to see all of the big 5 as well as catching part of the migration on the Serengeti. The lodging and food were very good. It was obvious everywhere we went that Detasa was well respected by all the people we came in contact with. Much of the tourism business is built on relationships and it was clear that Detasa is a class organization. Kevin and Laura Dec 2008 Susan and Bruce M December 2008
Almost half a year after
we spent our holiday in Family den Hollander July 2008
We would like to thank the entire team at Destination Tanzania for providing an excellent tour! I don't think we would have taken this trip without having Innocent and Karen to talk to (and ask questions) during the initial phase of planning this trip. Our guide, Ombeni, is an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable and patient in answering the many questions we had. This was the trip of a lifetime and wonderful to take as a family! Julie and Tom K. family July 2008
I cannot thank you enough for what was, in short, one of the best experiences of my life. When Nancy and I decided to climb Kilimanjaro via Western Breach, I emailed a ton of companies and received varied responses. In the end, I simply went with the company that I had a good feeling about. You never know how these things are going to turn out, but I feel so fortunate to have stumbled across your website. From the very beginning, I was impressed with your responsiveness - the thoughtful and detailed information you provided made what we were planning to do not seem so crazy, but an incredible once in a lifetime experience. The climb was, in a word, incredible - not just because Kilimanjaro is a breathtaking and challenging mountain - but because of the people. We also were pleased that the porters and guides were treated well. This was the first time I did a trek where the porters wore proper shoes - it matters so much to us to use a company that assures that not just the clients, but the staff, are safe and well. Destination Tanzania Safaris is really a top operation. The equipment and accommodations were first-rate and the staff from the ground on up exceedingly helpful and capable. I will of course recommend your company to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania (I already did to about half our airplane)!

We wanted to thank you for
the most amazing trip of our life! Because of our guide’s expertise, he knew
exactly where to take us, and we saw the most incredible things. We saw a
leopard slowly walked right by the car, all of the big 5, everything we
could have wanted to see, and more. We saw the wildebeest migration, etc...
it was breathtaking. We couldn't have had a better guide. We were sad to
leave him! All of the lodges we stayed at were each unique in their own way,
and we can't thank you enough for doing such a great job of planning our
itinerary!

We had a lot of confidence in our guides. With a trip like Kilimanjaro, there is a personal safety concern, and as we got to know our guides over the week, we truly felt that they had the experience needed to handle and concern or issue. On the safari, we were amazed by our guides ability to spot a cheetah a football field away and felt we were very lucky to have such a great guide and friend. Byron and Sarah H. Feb 2008 Tanzania is an amazing country and we had a spectacular time which we will remember
always. The best part of our trip was the trekking. To walk across even a small
part of Africa was a dream come true.
Sarah M Jan. 2008 Our trip was excellent! Once our guide got to know us, he adjusted things and made
suggestions on things to do that were a good fit with our interests. Having that
flexibility was nice!
Paul and Kathy W. Dec 2007 We really appreciated how you helped us with our entire trip, beginning
to end. We always felt that you took very good care of us and took the extra
steps to make sure we were okay. We will always recommend you to others!
Julie and Tom T. July 2007 We want to personally thank Detasa for everything you did to make this such an incredible trip. All of our preplanning conversations and your personal involvement led to this wonderful experience. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and very memorable. We felt that the people you employ are really wonderful people and very knowledgeable. Sara and Brian H. Jan 2007 The trip was an incredible experience that I will never forget! The staff was fun, friendly and very attentive to the clients. I have already recommended Detasa to several friends. Daniel D Jan.2007 Overall the trip met and exceeded our expectations. I feel Destination Tanzania Safaris is one of the top outfitters on Kilimanjaro and on safari. I have already recommended them to friends and friends of friends! Chad and Chandra M. Dec.2006 I take typically 1-2 major
trips per year. I have been to 6 of the 7 continents. This
was one of my favorite trips, if not my favorite! The guides were
very very knowledgeable, the accommodations were first class, and the
price was extremely reasonable. Thanks for helping make a good
trip an excellent trip!
Grant D. Dec.2006 Destination Tanzania Safaris' team simply couldn't have been better. Their careful
choice of guides and support personnel gave us the best people for our climb
and our safari- they were simply outstanding. Each member of his team worked
tirelessly
to ensure we had the best experience possible. I did my research before
the trip, and spoke with many other folks on the trip using other companies,
and I'm very very happy we went with Detasa! I've traveled a lot, but Tanzania
is simply an incredible place. When I arrange my trip back, my first call will
be to Detasa! Graham W. Jan 2005 |
