Our zoo and clients were extremely happy with our travels to Africa. The one-on-one service and personal communication with Ujuzi African Travel made a huge difference.

Don Tillman, Development Director, Dickerson Park Zoo

Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. You are amazing. The locations that you chose and the venues were superb. The rangers and trackers were first class. What can I say, we loved everything about our experience. We are already thinking of another trip in the future!

Laura & Curt Peck

Seeing all of the animals in their environment was incomparable, as was meeting and interacting with the Tanzanian people. Perhaps the best highlight is the guides. They were friendly, knowledgeable, polite—the experience would have been very different without them.

Laura Morris

I had dreamed of a safari in Africa since high school, so I had very high expectations. Ujuzi African Travel exceeded all my expectations! I’ve traveled to three continents, but this was the trip of a lifetime.
