Incredible, Amazing Safari Experience with Roots and Routes Africa
 

Initially, planning our trip to Tanzania felt quite overwhelming due to the abundance of information online and the countless agencies available. However, I came across a mention of Roots and Routes Africa company in a travel blog and decided to give them a try. From our first interaction, the manager was knowledgeable, responsive, and established a sense of trust.

I want to express our gratitude to Emmanuel Melubo, who communicated with us throughout the preparation phase and beyond. Everything was executed on time. The safari vehicle was clean and equipped with Wi-Fi, binoculars, snacks, and water. Our accommodations were comfortable and cozy.

He was professional, easy-going, attentive to the road, and always eager to show us the animals and share interesting facts about wildlife. We couldn’t be more grateful for the experience!
