The most luxury and adventure I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing in one trip! This was my first time traveling in small group and I was not disappointed. I had 8 brand new friends ready and excited to explore Africa with. The accommodations were above my expectations, and there were so many included activities I couldn't keep track. The food and wine was plentiful and some of the best cuisine I've had in the world. We went on several different types of safari, booze cruise, scenic tours, wine tasting, and everything was planned for our comfort and to maximize our time in Africa. It was easy to arrive in this wild and truly beautiful country, to be given a warm welcome by Safari Sam and the people in the group! Africa was nothing like I thought it would be. South Africa is more beautiful, more magical, much safer and more luxurious than I had envisioned when I booked the trip. I can't wait to go back.

The tour of Africa completely exceeded my expectations and completely changed my perception of Africa. I have seen some of the most incredible wildlife and breathe taking views that I may not ever see again. This was a trip of a lifetime filled with incredible memories and the best decision I have made, was to say yes to the tour. Sam's passion for Africa quickly rubs off on you and I felt continuously excited as to what was ahead on the tour. The hand picked hotels were amazing and our tour group quickly gelled together to become a family. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and this definitely exceeded all expectations. The thrill of looking for wildlife and the complete unknown was a really buzz and the scenery was spectacular particularly Victoria Falls. It was great to see animals in their natural habitat. I did not want to leave my adventure at the end.

The Take Me to Africa tour was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. Africa is a magical place and everyday we experienced something new or exciting, whether that be spotting lion cubs on safari, visiting the awesome Victoria Falls or being surrounded by beautiful scenery. The hotels were all of a great standard and the food/wine was delicious. Sam ensured that everything ran smoothly and was always available to provide advice and information. Our tour group became like a family and we were gutted to leave everybody at the end of the trip. This truly was a trip of a lifetime!

When it comes to holiday's I have never thought to head off on a tour, usually choosing secluded beaches with no one to bother me bar someone to bring me the occasional beverage. After traveling with Take Me To Africa I have experienced something unexpected and very special. It had everything; days I am accustomed relaxing by a luxury pool with top service, days exploring towns and cities with standout food in amazing surrounds, luxurious sunset cruises, wine tasting in great company and of course the opportunity to see some of the world’s most amazing animals in the best way possible. The organisers were welcoming at all times looking after my every request and the guests within the group could not have been better, sharing similar interests while also understanding one another to ensure everyone got what they wanted out of the experience. I met friends for life, enjoyed breath-taking views, saw amazing animals, switched off from the world I left at home and really enjoyed every moment I spent in, the incredible, Africa.

A trip of a lifetime made possible by the best tour operator I have ever travelled with. Having never been on safari or to real Africa for that matter, I was a little nervous about the fine details, could you drink the water, what do you wear, will the hotels be of a decent standard? All this and more was taken care of from the very beginning. Carefully considered, planned, and executed perfectly. I felt like a travelling VIP with Sam making sure every box was ticked, and every detail arranged to the highest standard. I found Sam's love for Africa shining through in our tour and believe me it's contagious. Tanzania was beautiful. nothing like the wildlife programmes I'd based my expectations on, I got lost in the sheer lush vastness of the Serengeti. The Ngorongoro crater looks like heaven on earth with wildlife everywhere you look. The trip to Zanzibar at the end of the tour was perfect for relaxation and washing off the dust of Safari. The only downside to the whole thing was the face ache I got because I couldn't stop myself grinning. Thanks Sam I can't wait to go back.

I cannot recommend Take me to Africa enough. The 11-day long trip to Tanzania exceeded every expectation I had, especially as a person who had never been on a real safari before, leaving me stunned by what this beautiful country had to offer. The trip had a little bit of everything: adventure, entertainment, culture, and also relaxing by the beach towards the end. The trip was organised perfectly by Sam, who is a beautiful human and is not only passionate about Africa and about promoting it, but is also very considerate of your needs and professional. The accommodation was incredible, set in beautiful locations and with jaw-dropping rooms, pools, great personnel, and, to my suprise, with variate and delicious food, even for a vegetarian like myself. The drive through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro felt surreal: we drove by giraffes, wildbeests, zebras, elephants, monkeys, a cheetah, we saw lions doing their usual siesta, we saw vultures and a hyena eating their prey, and birds and sceneries so beautiful I can’t even describe in words. Another impressive moment we saw was the wildbeest migration. Also, hearing lions roar from 3 km away first thing in the morning while camping in the middle of Serengeti gave me an inimaginable feeling. To me, it was a dream come true, an Animal Planet-like show, the live version. We ended the trip in Zanzibar, where we chilled by the beach and relaxed -which was well-deserved after such hectic and exciting days. Again, I believe Sam managed to add the perfect balance of adventure and rest to our trip. I must also add that all this experience was really accessible pricewise, and that if you would like to do it on your own the price would most likely be nowhere to the price we paid. I warm-heartedly recommend Take me to Africa, especially if you are a newbie to the African world, and if you need some adventure into your life while staying safe at the same time. A thousand times thank you, Sam!

The whole trip as brilliant. So perfectly planned and executed, everything was excellent: the rooms, service, guides, safari, food, super top and the price, well I shouldn’t be saying this but I consider it was underpriced for all that is offered and the experience that we had. . The itinerary was a perfect balance between culture, safaris and beach, taking us thru Africa’s most valuable gems. WE started off cooling off and recharging energies from our International flights at Dar Es Salaam, I think this was a great idea as some of us had 36hrs flights and had to deal with Jet lag, it also allowed us to settle down and meet the rest of the travelers; we then headed off to the first lag of the trip, the Safaris, where game drives were AMAZING!!!! We got to see so many beautiful animals in the most beautiful surroundings and even though we didn't get to see the leopard, we saw the rest of the Big 5 in their natural environment with very good opportunities to take photos as our the guides got us really close up to animals. One of my most memorable experiences was seeing the wildebeest and zebras migration it was INSANE! We saw Elephants, Lions , Rhino, giraffes and most exciting a hyenas with a fresh kill.. .....thanks to our amazingly sharp game tracker for spotting that one, btw people take note if you want a once in a life time Safari experience make sure your travel agency work with top of the line and experienced Safari companies, ours was TOP OF THE LINE. The food served for lunch, the setting and locations chosen were spectacular and delicious. We then headed to Zanzibar where we visited the exotic and beautiful stone town and then headed to what I will say one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen in my life , Nungwi. With pristine beaches, gorgeous sunsets and very respectful and friendly locals, this was definitely a perfect way to end our trip. Sailing in the sunset to drinks and great music, walking in the long beautiful shore gives you a “I cant believe this is my life” moment every 10 minutes. I cant close this review without mentioning the hotels,… OMG SPECTACULAR! Coming from game drives or even waking up at the beach , every single hotel selection was PERFECT! Every single day there was a new surprising hotel location with BEAUTIFUL views, relaxed environment, safe, excellent food and service. Not only the location was breathtaking but also the decoration and architecture. We would arrive greeted with warm hand towels, and chanting Masai´s and then in the mornings you drive away with a washed/clean car, all the staff makes you feel welcome and makes sure you are pampered We were a fairly large group and Safari Sam managed to take care of all of us and meet (and exceed) our expectation, for me , what stands outs from other tour companies Ive worked with is the attention to detail and the passion you can see in Sam for what she does. I would definitely recommend working with Take me to Africa if you want to have that “grown up” Safari experience

Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar. All of the very best Tanzania has to offer, planned to the last detail, including internal flights. Excellent accommodation in 5 star lodges and tented camps. Dedicated safari vehicles for 6 to 8 guests with well-informed guides. Great food and company! Highly recommended.

This was our first group trip and we could not have asked for better fellow travellers. It was a lot of fun to experience new adventures with these lovely people. Everything about this trip was amazing. The hotels, the private game reserve with tents were all of good standard and would definitely stay there again. Take Me To Africa provided us with an experience we will not forget.

Safari Sam gave us a holiday that was truly exciting and was everything that we could have hoped for. We saw and experienced lots of amazing sights. She took care of everything and we did not have to worry about a single thing. All the accommodation and activities were all well thought out and we could not have asked for anything better. From the safaris to the wine tasting and the wondrous sights of South Africa, a fantastic experience not to be missed.

Well, what can I say about my recent trip to Africa with Sam and Take me to Africa. It was AMAZING!! From start to finish was just brilliant, all what I wanted, expected and more. The variety of this holiday just takes it all in from doing safari, chilling out, extra activities, sights and experiences, accommodation all 4* was just fantastic, the organisation and the quality of the guides chosen for us were superb. The enthusiasm from Sam for her wish for everyone to enjoy every moment of their holiday is great. If there was something anyone wanted extra she would go all out to make sure you got it. I can't thank her enough for making this holiday one of my all time greats. If anyone reading this review is not sure whether to do it or not, JUST DO IT, you'll have no regrets. Anne

So much more than I had hoped. More animals. More experiences and more food! It was wonderful and our first experience of small group travel. Loved our group and made friends for life. The thoroughness of Sam’s planning and choice of accommodation was so much better than anything we could have put together ourselves
