Customer Reviews
Verified Blessing Safaris, Kilamangaro mountain ⛰️ climbing Blessing Safaris made our trip so memorable. What an amazing experience we had climbing kilamangaro mountain ⛰️. The staff was so friendly, so helpful, experienced, and most importantly kind. I would 100 percent recommend Blessing Safaris for all of you that read this review. And I would definitely go back there in the future and choose them over and over. What an amazing journey.Verified Great Experience, Great People! I don't know where to begin when it comes to the service and level of care and attention to detail Elibariki showed me when helping to customize my itinerary! He understood that I was on a tight budget and gave me a wonderful experience nonetheless, which I will cherish forever. From Tarangire, to Ngoro Ngoro, to climbing Kilimajaro, to Materuni waterfalls in Moshi! I had to skip Napuru Waterfalls due to a leg injury, and feet trauma from climbing Kilimajaro - that said, I still enjoyed every bit of my safari. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, recommend Blessing Safaris for any of your customised trips. They will deliver everything to a T and pay very close attention to detail. In terms of flexibility - 10/10; customer support at any time (sorry for calling in late Eli) 10/10, personell and team - 10/10 (Shout out to Prosper, Loy - my Kilimanjaro guide, Moses, Abraham and of course, the main man, Elibariki who went above and beyond for me. I cannot wait to do the Serengeti with Blessing Safaris. Counting the days!It honestly didn't even feel like a budget safari!Verified Kilimanjaro It was an amazing experience! The team supported us in everything, they were very nice and created an amazing atmosphere all the days we spent there on Kilimanjaro. They were also very supportive the evening we climbed the pick and thanks to them we made it! 💪 highly recommended!!Verified The Safari 2024 My guide/driver Abney was amazing .He was very knowledgeable of the animal , vegetation ,Tarangire National Park,Ngorongoro and the Serengeti .He made sure you were comfortable and answered all questions . and was patient ie. wanted to stay in a spot longer to watch the animals no problem Blessings Safari did a great job and my safari days are very memorableVerified Fantastic Safari!!!! An unforgeable adventure! The Tanzania safari was breathtaking, with incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes, and expert guides (Our driver and personal guide Oscar is the best! We felt safe in his capable hands) who made every moment special. From seeing the Big Five up close to experiencing the vibrant culture, it was the perfect blend of excitement and tranquility. Asante Sana, Blessing SafarisVerified Awesome Safari! Blessing Safaris providing an excellent service to our 7 day tour. There were eight of us in the family ( Grandparents, 2 children and their spouses, and 2 teenage grandchildren) on a seven day Great Migration Safari Tour. Blessing Safaris picked us up at the Kilimanjaro airport on 2 Land Cruisers, 4 on each vehicle, brought to our first lodging in Arusha, explained in detail the various day to day activities, schedules and places we'll be going. Elibariki and his staff, including our tour guides and drivers (Oscar and Moses) were very professional, helpful, easy to communicate with and reliable. The seven days we spent with Oscar and Moses guiding and driving us to Ngorongoro Crater, Central and Northern Serengeti, watching the wildebeest migration and visiting the Manyara National park were very enjoyable and pleasant. It was a pleasure having tour guides that were very knowledgeable of the places and wildlife in the park. Our hats off to Blessing Safaris!Verified Amazing experience in Tanzania with Blessing Safari My husband Steve wrote a glowing review but what he left out was this trip was my dream! And between my husband and Blessing Safari they made my fantasy Tanzania private safari a dream come true.Verified We are Blessed to have found Blessing Safaris! We couldn’t be happier with Blessing Safaris for the wonderful job they did on our recent Tanzania safari. Five stars on anybody’s rating system isn’t enough. From the day I first contacted them to our final arrival at home from the trip they exceeded our expectations. It has been a pleasure to work with Elibariki Simon on planning the trip. I’m sure we worked on this for nearly a year. He was responsive to my every question. I know that I contacted him at times that were late in the evening for him, yet he always responded quickly. He listened and understood everything I ever asked. He recorded my requirements and preferences. We made revisions at times. These were always accurately captured and rolled into a planner file that fully documented our trip. We were blessed to get Mr. Zoya as our guide. Zoya has been guiding people in the Serengeti for 40 years. He is most knowledgeable and knows just about everyone out there. At nearly every stop someone was calling out his name, shaking his hand, or giving him a hug. He was entirely plugged in to communication throughout every part of our adventure by stopping to communicate with other drivers as we crossed paths. He knew where every animal we wanted to see was likely to be and demonstrated 100% success finding all that we asked.Our trip started in Arusha, went to Tarangire National Park where we stayed at the Tarangire Sopa Lodge. From there we went to Lake Manyara and enjoyed a night at Manyara Secret. After that we went to Ngorongoro Crater and stayed two nights at Ngorongoro Serena. The drive from there is about 5 hours over very rough roads, so while Mr. Zoya drove the vehicle ahead of us, we were dropped off at the Arusha airport and took a plane there. We had four days in the Serengeti. We stayed three nights at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge and one at Sametu. As we departed from our dear friend Zoya he took us to the airport where we flew to Zanzibar and stayed in an overwater bungalow at Konokono Isaraya. This was truly a magical experience that was executed without a flaw. This professionalism makes Blessing Safaris the truly excellent safari company that they are. I invite anyone considering Blessing Safaris to contact me directly if they need any further referral.

No wonder you have been planning your Africa safari for years or even months now, but your minds don’t settle on what you should pack or not for your trip. It’s ok to feel that way, we are all human. In this article, we are going to discuss in detail how to pack for your Africa safari.
There are some restrictions from flight companies on what you should carry or not, recommended bags, and even weight allowed for free during your travel to African destinations. Other restrictions are imposed by the government or park authorities, for instance, the drone uses or even guns during your trip.
Not only do most safari-goers have weight restrictions on flights (a typical weight restriction is 15- 20 kilograms or 33- 44 pounds total per person, including camera equipment and carry-ons), but you also have the challenge of knowing which types of clothes to wear on safari are appropriate. Here is the guide for safari packlist for Africa
As any other endeavor challenges are part of the journey, you may experience congestion while arriving or you may experience network outage in most of the areas while on safari. Bear in mind that there are challenges which we can control as human beings but in case of natural disasters that we do not wish to happen if we are supposed to stop your tour, immediate actions are necessary to save a life.
This comes not actually from the company side but has something to do with yourself, you may wish to support locals by buying souvenirs or you may arrange some extra tours around the city or tipping to your team. Is the best way to acknowledge others as one of the best practices in life. Feel comfortable to discuss with your safari expert anytime.
Tanzania is situated directly south of the Equator and covers 938,000 sq. km with an estimated population of 40 million people. The country is densely populated in the northern, eastern, and coastal areas while the southern part is not densely populated.
Climate
Tanzania’s climate is tropical and there are two rain seasons the longer being March through May and the shorter between October and November. The dry season lasts from July through October with clear skies and sunshine the whole day. The weather is suitable for beach vacations. The coastal area is normally hot and humid.
Visa
Coming to Tanzania made it easy for visitors is very simple to obtain a Tanzanian visa, you can either at :
1. Tanzanian Embassy or High Commission from your country o
2. Upon arrival at the port of entery that is, the airport or at the border port.

The above procedure applies to North American and European citizens. For more details about visas please contact the nearest Tanzanian Embassy or High Commission in your area.
Airports
Tanzania’s International Airports: Tanzania has two international airports, one outside the commercial capital Dar es Salaam (airport code: DAR), and the other near Arusha (and Mount Kilimanjaro) called Kilimanjaro International Airport (airport code: JRO). Charter flights and some international operators fly directly to Zanzibar Island (airport code: ZNZ)
Getting to Tanzania
If you’re planning to visit Northern Tanzania, the best airport to arrive at is Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA). KLM has daily flights from Amsterdam. Ethiopian and Kenya Airways / Precision Air also fly into KIA.
If you’re planning to visit Zanzibar, southern and western Tanzania, it is ideal to fly to the capital city of Dar es Salaam. European carriers that fly into Dar es Salaam include British Airways, KLM, and Swissair(which share codes with Delta). There are long-distance bus services between Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.
Attractions
Wildlife: The country has a lot to offer educationally, historically, for leisure and adventures. These adventures are safaris (game) driving in National Parks like Serengeti, Manyara, and Tarangire to see wildlife, historical sites such as museums, landscapes, mountains, beaches, lakes, rivers, and culture.
Social life: The country has more than 120 tribes. Each tribe has its own vernacular. Although there are many languages “Swahili” was adopted as the national language in 1961 right after independence.
The language has spread and is being used in the neighboring countries of Uganda, Kenya, and Central Africa. English is the second official language of the nation. You will find that Tanzanians are very welcoming and friendly.
Political system
Tanzania is perhaps the leading country on the continent of Africa for its political stability, peace, and tranquility. The political system is multi-party and the government is democratic. Political and religious conflicts are resolved through dialogue. In short, religious and tribal conflicts are very rare in this country because every citizen is free to worship as he/she pleases provided that one does not violate the law of the land
Currency
The national currency of Tanzania is the “shilling” (Tshs). Exchange rates vary and are subject to change anytime. Credit cards such as Euro-card, American Express, Master Card, Access, and Visa are accepted by most tourists’ hotels, carving shops, bureau de change, and banks. Also, Traveler’s Cheques in sterling pounds and US dollars are acceptable.
Religions
Because of its historical diversity, Tanzania is a land of various religions. Nevertheless, the major religions are Christianity, Islam, Hindu, and African Traditional Religions. On the east coast – Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo, Zanzibar, and Tanga – the dominant religions are Islam and Hinduism.
This is due to the advent of Arabs and Eastern Indians which led to the spread of the two religions. The mainland is dominantly Christian and this is since European colonists, like Arabs, spread the Christian religion to the indigenous people.
Infrastructure & Accessibility
Major roads are paved and accessible throughout the year. Side roads and those around and within the National Parks are muddy and rough. For this reason, a 4WD car is required for safaris. Four-wheel cars include Toyota Land Cruisers, Land Rovers, and Toyota Hiace 4WD. These are the cars commonly used. The railway is also used in the eastern, southern, central, and western parts of the country.
Time: The time zone is GMT + 3 and the electricity is 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz

Our Professional Safari Guides are well trained about wild animal behaviors and they have enough experience to lead our clients in the wilderness. Our vehicles are 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rovers with an open roof to give maximum visibility of a game.
African safaris guarantee unlimited sightseeing; millions of animals, birds, and plant life are the core characters of the African savanna. You roam across the countryside in search of Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Cape buffalo, and Leopards (the so-called “Big Five”). On any given day, you will encounter Blue Wildebeests, Zebras, a large variety of antelope species, Gazelles, Giraffes, Baboons, and Hippos. The birdlife is fantastic – in some areas, up to 400 bird species have been identified! Think of the majestic Baobab tree (some tribes believe that the tree was indeed planted upside-down!), and there are hundreds of varieties of thorn trees! You will also see the acacia-dotted landscape, endless plains, majestic mountains, and the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises one could ever imagine! Think of a late afternoon thunderstorm, short but violent, and then the beautiful rainbow.

This aspect is much overstated. You will rarely see a snake, but if you do, it will most likely be from the safety of your safari vehicle. Tents and lodges all have bug screens fitted to windows and doors. In most areas where bugs or mosquitoes are prevalent, rooms and tents are also equipped with mosquito nets, adding to the idealistic ambiance. Bear in mind that malaria is a threat in most wildlife areas, and it is necessary to consult your doctor for advice before embarking on your safari.
Tanzania destinations are accessible throughout the year but we advise you to take your tours during the dry session for the safari so as you can enjoy the best sightings at this time as the grasses and bush are at their least dense. July to October and December through February. The green session includes March through June. Discuss with us the best option if you have also a plan to coincides with Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti National Park.
Around the turn of the century (until the ’30s and ’40s), mobile tenting was the only option, and “camp as you go” was the standard practice. Over the years the luxury connected with the traditional mobile tenting safari has increased. By the same token, one can understand that the cost of having a “luxury hotel” following one around in Africa is expensive. However, most people settle for permanent tented camps. Because they are “permanent” they can be equipped with flush toilets and traditional bathroom fixtures and conveniences. Don’t be misled by terminology – a permanent tented camp offers the comfort of a 5-star hotel but with the romance and adventure of being surrounded by the sights and sounds of Africa.
(We suggest you remember) insect repellent (the best way to prevent malaria and other insect-borne diseases), sunscreen, cap or hat, sunglasses, binoculars, detergent powder if you want to wash some clothes yourself, hand-wipes small flashlight, aspirin, diarrhea medicine, rain jacket, poncho or collapsible umbrella, plastic bags (for wet clothes, swimsuit and for keeping dust away from camera equipment), Kleenex/toilet tissue a neck chain for eyeglasses if you take them off to use binoculars and cameras, any medical prescription you need, masking tape or labels for marking exposed films cans, film, extra camera batteries.
Although more than 200 languages and dialects are spoken throughout Africa, this presents no problem as English is spoken throughout East and Southern Africa. Apart from English, all our professional guides are multilingual so we get you covered
