We had a wonderful and unforgettable trip with spider tours and safaris. They are very professional and we had an amazing experience starting with the detailed planning with Emanuel who always provided super detailed feedback and info and helped us pick the right itinerary. Everything went extremely smooth with the pick up from the airport and kick off to the safari. We couldn't have asked for a better guide - Amos was fantastic in every regard, always tried his best to show us everything the parks had to offer. He had so much information and definitely knows his way around ;) all the lodges were great and unique in their own way. We can't pick a favorite. The hospitality was amazing! Also the communication throughout the whole trip was great and we always felt well taken care of. Maybe one day we come back for Kilimanjaro ☺️

Without a doubt, one of the best life experiences I have ever had and Prince Mohammed, my tour guide the whole way was incredible in taking care of me and my things, to sharing all the history of Kilimanjaro, to being highly entertaining and conversational through the entire adventure. And we are still very good friends to this day and I was there many years ago!

Organised a short private safari with spider tours and safaris post Kilimanjaro hike which was a great decision. Before travelling, Angelina was very responsive and supportive in developing a customized itinerary that maximized the activities to see while having time to relax. Settled on a two day Tarangire safari which was superb. brian my guide was super friendly , knowledgeable and provided detailed info and stories on all wildlife seen. The accommodation choice of the japan lodge was superb and one of the best places I have stayed. It is the attention to detail and customer service that really stands out

I can't say enough about spider tours and safaris Travel. They responded to any question I had day or night promptly. Picked us up at the airport and gave us 5 star accommodations. Food and staff at each location when over an above. I can't say enough about our Safari Guide , He was experienced and had a lot of knowledge. he went above and beyond with finding a leopard and giving us great lunches on the safari. He became part of our family as we went to each national park together. He was patient and added more to the trip like taking us to see the Massai and helping us buy a soccer ball at the market place to bring back to the Massia! I had a birthday while on the safari and spider tours and safaris arranged a wonderful cake with my name on it and the restaurant staff came out singing for me with the cake, a highlight. I will definitely recommend spider tours and safaris for any friends and family taking a safari.
