Discover all you need to know about planning an Ngorongoro safari

Joanna was amazing in helping coordinate our trip from adding extras to ensure we had an amazing time and consistent communication leading up to the trip and making sure we had everything ready from the minute we landed to our departure.

We had an absolutely amazing time! We could not have had a better experience. With some luck on our side, we were able to see a river crossing and the big five. Both amazing experiences! We also enjoyed an amazing balloon ride! Both places that we stayed offered different but equally great accommodations, which we were looking for. Every person was so welcoming and offered service beyond what we would ever expect. We also don’t know if it was luck or planned, but all our game drives ended up being private. This trip feels like it would have been impossible to put together without the help of Timbuktu or at the very least much more difficult and stressful. Overall we had a fantastic time and we would definitely recommend you guys to others looking to travel to Africa!

Kevin and Timbuktu generated a great trip for us. We took 14 flight in 11 days coming and going from Tanzania. We loved the safari and the hot air balloon safari.

I cannot say enough nice things about Timbuktu Travel. I have never used a travel planner before but my husband and I did not have time to do our usual research and had no experience traveling in eastern Africa so we reached out and were put in contact with Annie. Annie was amazing. From the first conversation to the subsequent emails, Annie understood what we were looking for. Most notably, making changes to the itinerary was easy and nothing was forced on to us. Our budget and needs were always respected.

Kevin, our travel agent did an amazing job guiding us on how to plan. He was extremely responsive and easy to connect with. He helped us stay within budget and also advised on things we weren't aware of. All the properties we stayed at that he suggested were top notch. I really mean it when I say we have no complaints!

Amazing experience from start to finish! Attention to every detail and expert services. Our agent, Tessa, was fantastic and helped us plan every detail to make our trip unforgettable. She even helped us arrange a special dinner for my husband’s birthday!
