Reviews of TIEM TOURS AND SAFARIS

Tanzania is a jewel of wildlife, scenery and wonderful people.

We had an excellent 15 day safari and Zanzibar trip with Tiem Tours and Safaris. We decided to use a Tanzanian based outfitter directly and it went seamlessly. We wanted a safari trip that spent as much time as possible in the bush and at tent camps. We then added a couple of days in Zanzibar at the end of the trip. They responded with a tailor made trip for us. During the lead up to the trip we made a number of changes related to trips routes and added some in-country flights. They handled all changes quickly and accurately and did it for cost without extra service charges. Through 9 months of planning they always promptly replied to all questions We wired payments direct from our bank to Tiem’s with no issues. Receipts and copies of Tanzanian bank deposit slips were promptly provided. Right from first arrival our guides always met us as scheduled on different legs. The accommodations were top drawer. The tent camp sleeping and dining facilities were furnished wonderfully, king beds, flush toilets, hot showers and so on. One camp was in the middle of a wildebeest herd. Our guide was a safe and competent drive who had excellent knowledge of wildlife. He found a lot of game for us, wildebeest crossings of the Mara River and kept the Land Cruiser stocked with cold drinks and snacks. A great companion for the safari. After our safari we transferred to Zanzibar. The hotel was a beautiful facility with seaview room. We went a number our tours and one day had a seafood barbeque lunch on a sandbar. For football fans imagine a huge tailgate party in the middle of the Indian Ocean. So summary TIEM Tours and Safaris did a 5 out of 5 jobs and we would definitely use them again

Unique, incredible experience!

It's hard to describe how special this experience is. Being able to get so close to these animals in their natural habitat, without interfering with their routine, is like being transported into a National Geographic program—incredible. I had the opportunity to follow a group of chimpanzees on the move with the researchers for over half an hour, always respecting the minimum distance of 10 meters and wearing masks. I must highlight the kindness and special care of the park guide who accompanied me, Lucas, and also the helpfulness of the guide who took us from Kigoma to the park and back, Issa. Thank you so much, everyone, and Tiem Tours and Safaris for this wonderful experience that I will always cherish. I highly recommend it!

Awesome Tanzania, with Tiem Tours and Safaris

Incredible trip to Tanzania thanks to the Tiem tours and safaris team. Charles worked with me to design an itinerary that we could get excited about. he also arranged the level of accommodations that were absolutely perfect. The actual trip was awesome. Our guide Salum, was absolutely relentless in making sure we saw as many animals as possible, including the black rhino, yet made it all very interesting with his knowledge and insight about the various animals, birds, and plants. The team there also provided us with a fantastic night drive. And of course, the tent was luxurious and the food delicious. All the best, Liliana

Flexible and attentive

We had such a great experience. The Usambara tour was our first tour when landing in Tanzania. We had a few problems with our flights getting there, but Tiem Tours had to redo the itinerary 3 times to try and have us enjoy our days to the fullest - and they did with so much patience! We initially got to Mombo around 2am - and our guides were waiting for us and brought us to get food. From the moment our guides picked us up, we felt taken in charge of. Our guides were amazing. We were accompanied by Boka, Yona, and Hamis for the duration of the tour. We felt very safe, and the driver drove us so well, and made sure we had the chance to see every view point we wanted to see in the short time we were there. I would 100% recommend booking through Tiem Tours! Our experience was great!

Excellent service and very friendly.

We went on a tour in a group of 11 people. The communication with the tour company was really good . They gave us all the information we needed and they were happy to answer any questions we had. The service was also very good . A member of staff travelled with us to ensure everything was ok. They were very reliable and we felt we got value for money. The tour went on very smoothly there was no any hiccups managed to see lots of animals. We were truly happy with everything. It was amazing.

Trustworthy, organizing interesting trips

I rate the safari trip and its organization positively. I was able to see many animals. I was travelling alone and I felt well taken care of. I think the price of the safari was reasonable. I recommend Tiem Tours And Safaris.
