Excellent trip organized by Tabia Safaris to Tanzania and Zanzibar. The duration was 13 days (including the round trip by plane) and the total price was unbeatable. It was our honeymoon trip and not a single detail was missing.On our route through Tanzania we saw the Materuni, Tarangire, Ngorongoro waterfalls, we slept in a camp at Lake Manyara (amazing to sleep with the animals surrounding your tent!) And the Serengeti. We also made a brief visit to a Masai village. The vehicle for the safari was comfortable and the food good and more than enough, sometimes too much! But the best part of the trip, without a doubt, was the company of our guides Justin and Maulibi who had great experience and mastery of the area and where to find the animals.We traveled to Zanzibar by plane, stopping in Arusha, and there we visited Stone Town and moved through different areas of the island: Jambiani, Kiwengwa, snorkeling in Mnemba and ending in a Kendwa resort.The hotels selected by Tabia were excellent and of an adequate category. We had an incident in the last hotel reservation that was properly addressed.Without a doubt, if we travel to the country again, we will repeat with Tabia.Thank you very much Eugeni for this great experience!

A HORROR!We hired this agency for our honeymoon for May 2020. I have to say that communications with them were extremely slow, but we still decided on this agency. Unfortunately because of the whole Covid issue we had to cancel it, first postponing it to May 2021 and finally canceling it.At first, when we postponed the trip to 2021 and presented them with the option of canceling, they told us that there would be no problem and that they would return the corresponding money.The problem came when in January 2021 we transferred the decision to cancel the trip to them, trying to get in touch with Tabia to find a solution and after numerous messages, either they did not answer us or they put us off telling us that they would give us an answer shortly and that They would inform us of everything.During these months we have been insisting and giving the company facilities to return our money in the most comfortable way possible, we have requested claim forms and there is no response, we have written through the OCU and neither have we sent them their cancellation policy which, of course, has a penalty in our case, a penalty that we are aware of and we are satisfied with, but nothing... IT IS DESPERATE!!Finally, on September 21, 2021, they answered us indicating that 50% of what they owed us would be paid that week and the other 50% the following week. Since we no longer trusted their words, I asked them to please send me proof of the transfer made and after several days and, according to them, being confused with Patricia and making the deposit in another account number (INCREDIBLE BUT TRUE), on September 30 we receive the first payment.The second payment... well, another song again and as of February 9, 2022, after more than a year we are still waiting. We have continued to ask and they give us long answers of this type: what would be done about October 20, what would they tell us something next week, that it would be out soon but they could not tell me the exact date, what would it be for the beginning of January. .. AND UNTIL TODAY!Its a real nonsense, really.If you want to see several cases like mine, you can go through the Travellers forum in the Bad experience with Tabia Safaris section.

They are cheeky. I fully subscribe to the negative opinions here: once you pay, they practically disregard both before and during the trip. My trip was also full of problems: deficient cars, one damaged in the middle of the serengeti that could not rescue us until 1am, a drunk driver who did not kill us by a miracle, they put more people in the cars of the agreed upon and I could continue like this a endless things. They are cheaper and for a reason. Then on the way back they were nothing more than rude (especially Tina), she wanted us to sign a paper in exchange for compensation so that we would not tell anything in any forum. 4 years have passed since my trip and I still havent forgotten how the most spectacular trip of my life did nothing but create tremendous anxiety. Halfway through the trip, I just wanted to go back to Spain. For me it is not left that people know where they invest their money ...

We have had a very good experience with Tabia. They are professionals, their workers have a lot of experience. Close and individualized treatment.The guide Gerardo speaks Spanish very well, and knows a lot not only about the safari but also about all the culture that surrounds Tanzania and Africa in general. We have felt very very comfortable with them. The driver Elías is also highly recommended.

Scammers!!! Return the money you owe, do not hire this company, they are based in Tanzania and then they do not take care of anything, they owe us €8,000 for a trip that was canceled due to the pandemic

For our family it is a trip that we would do a thousand times again, we have loved the close relationship with the company, and of course the safari through the savannah (Masai Mara and SerenguetI) there are no words to describe what we feel ... to enjoy a lot and especially animal lovers. Also say that a nephew of mine could not come and thanks to the travel insurance that Tabia proposed to us, he was able to recover 100% of the amount paid! Since many people do not make insurance to save money and then problems come .... greetings!

Good morning everyone! We have just arrived from our honeymoon and the details from Tabia Safaris have been more than emotional. The first night we spent in Arusha we prepared the room with rose petals on the bed, at dinner on the second night in Tarangire we had private Masai dance with private show not to mention the park that we loved. The night in Ngorongoro was at the Serena Lodge hotel and it was also very beautiful, now the crater is the best of the best. We continued 3 nights in Serengeti in the Tended Camp de Tabia and the truth was that they were the best nights with lions nearby at night, hyenas, etc. A lot of adventure ... hehe To go to Zanzibar we went to the Zanbluu Beach Hotel recommended by Tabia. A beautiful hotel with paradisiacal beaches and an incredible island. Total that the trip was a 10 !!

We were lucky enough to do a safari with Tabia in the middle of COVID, this October, which allowed us to enjoy amazing scenes with hardly any cars, as well as unique hotels at an exceptional price.The guide (Elias) super professional and with excellent Spanish.A dream come true in which Tina had a lot to do with whom we hired the trip and who solved all the doubts we had and even more so in this time in which we are a little more hesitant to travel far when it really is the opposite.Without a doubt, the best decision we could make was to go on this date and with this agency

I loved the atmosphere in this country, I fell in love with the children in an orphanage, we did the family safari with children and my 8 year old son already wants to return, he loved the animals and the whole tour of Kenya. We were able to visit the Snake Park in Nairobi that the children really liked, then we made Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and 3 days in unforgettable Tended Lodge in Masai Mara. It is a trip that I recommend for everyone and that one day or another .... IT HAS TO BE DONE! Tabia Safaris went out of her way to make everything go great throughout the trip! :)

Good morning travelers! Me and my daughter have just arrived from Tanzania on a beautiful trip that the Tabia team set up for us. We loved the park (especially Ngorongoro), we loved the food of the superior hotels and how they treated us in general. We were also able to visit an orphanage of children since my daughter was very funny and the truth is that it changes your life and way of thinking a little. The joy with which these children receive you fills you with life. Greetings to Nayman who attended us very well throughout the trip.

Good morning, we went on Safari in June (5 months ago), we went with this agency on the recommendation of some friends and the good comments we also saw that they have on trip advisor. We travel quite often and we always move through forums and social networks to know where and with whom it is better to travel. Just say that with Tanzania and Tabia Safaris ...... we succeed 100%! We loved the deal with us and throughout the trip they were on top to check that everything was going well, and so it was, everything perfect. We will recommend you to more people! thank you!!!

Good morning travelers! We just arrived 4 days ago from what has been a great and very complete trip with Tabia Safaris. They proposed some change of hotel and they guessed the truth, and they also offered us the possibility of sharing a vehicle to save on expenses and it also went very well, since this way we could make the balloon trip through Serengeti which was spectacular. We have been 2 couples and we have loved the hotel Karatu de Ngorongoro, apart from the fact that the crater is brutal, we were also able to experience an adventure night in Angani Serengeti, since after a few beautiful days of seeing much more animals than we expected in Angani near animals, (giraffes, elephants, etc.), 100% is recommended. Thank you very much to TIna and Eugeni for making it possible !!

Enjoying in Tanzania is very easy since the country gives you everything done, but that they attend you well, that the hotels are acceptable and I no longer say good ... and that the guides are native and create a bond with you from day one I think it is very important for the end customer and that is achieved with good management. Tabia set us up the perfect trip without unnecessary waste of time and all quite clear from the beginning. I know that it is not easy to handle a trip with these characteristics and less in this country. All very well!

Good I am Montserrat, I have lived 3 years of my life in Tanzania, specifically in Arusha, and I can say that it is not good for Africa ... well, nothing. There in Arusha I just met Tina and Eugeni from Tabia Safaris, since I had a bicycle rental company and several times they rented me for their clients. Now I live in Spain many years ago and several friends of mine have gone on a safari with Tabia because of our relationship, and I will only say that everyone has been very happy with both the trip and the management of it. Even 2 months ago I went with 2 safari friends to remember that and I admit that there were things that I could not appreciate even living 3 years in Arusha, the truth was wonderful. I recommend everyone to at least ... make a safari in your life!

We returned 4 days ago from what has been one of the best trips of our life. We are amazed at what we were able to see there, even if it was hot we enjoyed every day of family safari. We were worried about the issue of children on such a trip ... and the result has been surprising. With 3 and 5 years they have had a better time than us, they have enjoyed the animals in each park and especially in Serengeti that we were 4 hours in a lioness hunt in a pond, they were attentive to each movement .... We were surprised. After 10 days of safari, Tabia proposed us to finish the relaxing trip in Zanzibar, we went to the 4-star Zanbluu Beach Hotel and we were ecstatic both by the hotel and by the mesmerizing turquoise water beaches and especially its marine fauna. Only with snorkeling do you see what you will never see in Spain in professional diving ... INCREDIBLE. Many thanks to Tabia for making it possible.

Me and my coworkers have also recently gone to Kenya and Tanzania with Tabia Safaris. Lets look for something little luxurious, hotels and economic route and Tabia offered us very good prices compared to 3 other agencies and we decided to go with them, they were well valued and we loved the Masai Mara and Serengeti experience. Many thanks.

Hello everyone, we want to tell our experience with Tabia since it was quite good. We arrived the first day in Arusha where the drivers at Kilimanjaro airport are waiting for us. We did night in Arusha for the next day and start with the Safari. We walked the first day through the jungle of Mañara, we saw animals (giraffes and elephants above all), but we did not see what we were waiting for, lion, leopard, rhinoceros and hippopotamus ... but the next day it was solved in Ngorngoro volcano, now that we saw these 4 that we needed perfectly less the black rhinoceros that we saw from afar. The next 3 days we did the most spectacular: SERENGUETI, in capital letters since they have everything .... you have to go to live it, we are left speechless ...

We went with children and family 3 months ago and we had no problem, good organization and well attended from the first minute. We really liked the trip, it was spectacular, my wife was not very determined and now she wants to repeat some day when the kids are older, we loved the Serena hotel of the Ngorongoro volcano overlooking the crater and also the Angani Serengeti that you sleep near the animals We even saw some lionesses sleeping near the camp .. (photo) spectacular! To finish we spent 4 days in Zanzibar at the Zanbluu Beach Hotel, with its crystal clear waters and white sand beaches it is incredible to end a relaxed safari. Thank you so much ! a hug for the people of Tabia

I will not roll up much since Tabia Safaris for me has been a unique experience. We wanted to do a Safari like crazy for years and we were waiting for a competitive price like that provided by Tabia, everything was great from the beginning and we saw the 5 BIG in 2 days, plus the tribes we wanted to see as the Masai or the Bushmen in full action, my daughters had a great time and we too, in terms of hotels, quite luxury, distraction and good food, so no complaints about it. A 10!

Greetings, we went 1 month ago 3 friends with Tabia, we really liked how they attended us in Madrid at the Fitur fair (I think they go to the fair every year and they make very good prices), a girl attended us, Carol seems to me and We loved the management that he proposed, then we continued talking to her by mail and by phone and the truth, very kind and clear speaking. We did an unforgettable complete safari and if we can repeat some day it is clear. Hakuna Matata

Good morning, I have been in Fitur this past weekend, I watched several safaris and without a doubt they gave me the best price of the whole fair in Safaris, I spoke with a boy, Artur remembrance, which explained all the itineraries very well and how they work in Tanzania. We really want to leave in July, it will surely be a great experience for the whole unforgettable family. Thank you so much

Company that is dedicated to organizing safaris and ascents to Kilimanjaro. They have good prices and their offer includes many things (do not forget to compare with others before hiring). They have guides who speak Spanish. For the safaris, you stay at Angani Tented Lodge or at Angani Serengeti Camp, which are quite good. Something very important is that although they are located in Arusha, they have an office in Spain and you can process everything with them, so it is like contracting with a local company in terms of price but with the advantages of contracting with a Spanish company. In fact, in Angani Tented Lodge there was a very nice Catalan girl who looked after us very well during our stay. The local employees are serious in general, but you have to have the account the factor that they work without haste, patience :-)

My experience with Tabia Safaris has been very good. I recommend this company for 3 reasons. They have the family safari with monitors for children all the safari even in Zanzibar. We have 3 children and dont see how much fun they had with Carol, the monitor. Second reason because the guides are native and speak Spanish (and very nice), and third because the hotels that took us in the middle category we loved. When the children are older, we hope to return. Asante Sana

Wow! How great it sounds! We had the opportunity to go with Gabriel also as a driver and we loved it, he teaches everything he can about language, culture and region. We took the trip at the tourism fair in Barcelona and Eugeni attended us, the truth is that he told us the trip very well and it was seen that they understood a lot about the subject. Then the dream ... also came true and everything explained .... we live it !!! It was a trip from a group of nurses and we wanted everything to be great since we know if we will travel more together. Thanks to the Tabia team! Kisses!

Well, the experience that I and my family had was great, I will not go into details of what we did, because here you think about Tabia, not about the trip from what I see, just inform that this Tabia company are very professional and carry Many years in the sector. I have a travel agency and we collaborated directly with them more than 10 years ago from Tarragona and we never received customer complaints, but quite the opposite. Anyway it may happen that someone has a bad experience, then it is the only thing that is told on the networks and the truth is very sad. Keep it up Tabia, greetings

Our family has greatly appreciated this trip to the beyond! ..... hehehe the truth that Serengeti, Taranguire and Ngorongoro seem from another planet. The savanna leaves you crazy and the crater open-mouthed. We were lucky in Taranguire to see a large group of elephants bathing in a pond in front of beautiful baobabs. Giraffes eating acacias everywhere and lurking lurks, not to mention the amount of lions, zebras and wildebeest we could see. A BEAST EXPERIENCE! THANK YOU TOB

Very happy to have traveled with Tabia Safaris, very professional team, The beauty and the animals that we could see on this trip exceeded all the expectations we had, we could enjoy all the beautiful landscapes of this beautiful country, its jungles (Taranguire and Mañara) , the precious volcano of Ngorongoro and that of the Serenguiti savannah, which is undoubtedly a spectacle followed by emotions. It looks like a continuous report from National Geographic, we loved it. We also had the pleasure of attending a Masai tribe and see how their schools and learning work, something very nice to see and even if it is a little prepared, it is worth it.

Hello everyone!! We are about to do the second safari with Tabia! The year 2012 we made the first and that they were not as complete as now and nothing failed! Tina and Eugeni lovely always and this time the same! The only difference is that now we go with our children of 5 and 8 years and we will see how the experience, the 2 are in love with animals, so I hope everything goes well. The other time we went in May that was the time of the migration of zebras, wildebeest and buffalo, now we go in February that we see that more leopards and cheetahs are seen since the savanna herbs are not so high, we are looking forward to it! ! As for the hotels and the food all very correct and the masai tmb shows very well. We write back. Asante Sana Tabia !!

Review №35

Company nothing recommended. Keep in touch until you pay for the trip, then almost impossible to contact them. Transport that theoretically you had when arriving at your destination you have to pay them again in cash, in addition to spending hours waiting at borders or gates of natural parks for someone to continue traveling, who often does not speak more than a little English. Getting to stay at a hotel that you have reserved and that do not have a room is another of the surprises that you find continuously, and all this without being answered on the phone or the emails that you send. Also it does not matter that you have hired safari for 4 people, if you can get 6 in the same vehicle without notifying or lowering the price. He told us that he would pay us the expenses we were forced to pay twice and we are still waiting for almost a month. A real mess. No matter how cheap it comes out initially, in the end it is more expensive than a leading company.

Review №36

This company has made a trip that was my illusion and for which I have saved for years a disaster. They sell you very well. They tell you that you will be accompanied by a Spanish-speaking guide at all times, that everything is included in the price, etc. But when you arrive at your destination it turns out that you have to pay for the transport, that you stay abandoned at borders or airports for hours without knowing who will go for you or continuous improvisations of accommodation because they have not booked at the hotel you had chosen. Hours by car with a driver with whom it is impossible to communicate or travel with more people than planned was most common. He also does not answer the phone or emails, important or urgent as it may be. The initial price of the trip is greatly increased by having to pay back at destination things that were supposedly included in the price. Do not throw away your money. Do not travel with Tabia.

Review №38

I will never recommend this agency, not only because of the disorganization and misinformation they have, but because of the great security problems we had.The mountain guide was not a certified guide, and that should be mandatory to peak over 4600 meters. He took us in rainy and foggy conditions at 1 am on a closed night when the rest of the guides advised their clients that the conditions were very bad and dangerous to climb, and therefore they stayed in the safe haven. We went out to summit, even when our guide had run out of batteries in his headlight and we had to leave one of ours, going dark in the mountains walking in the middle of the night and with the conditions mentioned above.Even halfway he got lost, taking us down a hillside of stones and having to be moored for 20 minutes in the dark while he was going to look for the road ... and so he could continue to relate several episodes of insecurity that occurred to us during the rise.Upon returning from the trip we tried to contact tabia safaris to explain the problem, exactly 1 month ago we have returned and have not yet picked up the phone or contacted us, showing that they care very little about their problems during the trip. A big disappointment as an agency ...

Well, I was delighted with this company, and especially with their guides that accompanied us throughout the trip, they made us laugh, they told us things about the land and animals, the truth that very well .... not to mention the landscapes and what we could see, but that I think depends on the fate of each one, I could not see the leopard because it was in May and the grass was high due to the rains and of course ..... it is harder to see, but We were captivated by the Ngorongoro crater and the beauty of Tanzania in general.
