The Experience of a Life Time!!  - I had planned this trip with my 3 sons and their partners for a long time. We cried when it ended and had to say goodbye to Abu and Anne.... Read more They are wonderful people and reflect the wonderful people of Tanzania. The experience, lodges and food really excelled our expectations. I do not think we will every have a vacation anything close to this one. Any question, happy to answer!

  Meticulously well-organised safari adventure with a wonderful local responsible travel company and the nicest people  - Thank you so much to the fabulous team at Long Way Expeditions, in particular the marvellous Anne and Abu, who ensured that our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) enjoyed... Read more the holiday of a lifetime this July. A meticulously well organised and exciting week-long safari adventure through Tarangire, Central Serengeti and NgoroNgoro crater, culminating in 5 blissful sun-kissed days in Zanzibar - we couldn’t have asked for a more special or more personalised safari experience.

We will never forget these magical few weeks. Having grown up myself in Kenya, I have been fortunate enough to enjoy many wonderful safari experiences in my life, but this was right up there, primarily because of the care, professionalism and dedication of the exceptional Long Way team.

Anne was brilliant in the planning and booking stages of our trip, and unfailingly patient and responsive to our numerous questions in the run up. It was so lovely to meet her at the beginning and the end.

Abu, our wonderful guide, was remarkably knowledgeable and insightful and his love and passion for Tanzania’s incredible wildlife and landscapes was both charming and completely infectious. Abu was also incredibly warm and kind and went out of his way to ensure we were always comfortable and had what we needed. He became a true friend and we were all very sad to leave him at the end of the trip!

Thank you so much again Anne and Abu. We will be back to explore more of Tanzania one day with you and will not hesitate to recommend you to all of our friends.

  Trip of a lifetime with Longway Expeditions!  - Fantastic first trip to Tanzania with Longway Expeditions! I was quite nervous about going on safari as a solo female traveller, but Anne from Longway was incredibly patient and helpful... Read more throughout the entire process. She addressed all of my concerns, helped me customize the itinerary around my specific interests, and made sure I got the most out of my time in Tanzania.

I was absolutely blown away by the diversity of the landscapes, the incredible wildlife, and the warmth of the people. My driver-guide, Amir, was very experienced, flexible with plans, and gave me the best possible wildlife-viewing experience. I was amazed by his knowledge and his ability to spot interesting animals from a distance.
I especially appreciated how mindful he was about giving the animals enough space and making sure we never got too close, as this was something I had been particularly concerned about.

Every worry I had before the trip completely disappeared once I was there. Even though I didn't get to see all of the Big 5, I loved every minute of the safari and the trip was so special to me. To any solo female travellers who are nervous about travelling alone, I can honestly say you won’t regret it. I can’t wait to return to Tanzania and plan more trips with Longway Expeditions!

  Amazing!  - We chose Long Way Expeditions for our safari based on a friend’s recommendation, and I truly believe it was the best decision we could have made to discover Tanzania!
<br... Read more /> As a small local agency, they offered us a genuinely authentic experience and gave us the opportunity to explore Tanzania beyond the usual tourist routes. It was incredible. Ana and Abu’s kindness, professionalism, and dedication allowed us to enjoy an unforgettable human experience, far beyond what we expected from a trip to such a beautiful country.

The landscapes are breathtaking, seeing wild animals in their natural habitat was absolutely amazing, and the warmth and kindness of the Tanzanian people truly touched our hearts.

Ana and Abu made sure our journey was unforgettable, from carefully selecting each hotel luxurious, comfortable, and unique to creating a perfectly organized itinerary. My father was celebrating his 60th birthday in Tanzania, and Ana and Abu even arranged a surprise for him, which was such a thoughtful and touching gesture.

Everything was perfect.

If you’re looking for a meaningful trip in a stunning country filled with warm and welcoming people, and if you want to discover Tanzania off the beaten path, away from the crowds, don’t hesitate for a second, choose Long Way Expeditions. They are simply the best!

I’d also like to mention that Ana and Abu run a charity that supports young Maasai girls. It’s a wonderful cause led by two truly wonderful people. We will go back for sure, Asante sana for everything. Highly recommended!

  A once in a lifetime experience - Anne was the best tour organiser She was very patient and worked with me to figure out the best safari format on a very short notice.
The experience... Read more there was a once in a lifetime, i have never seen so many big cats and my guide was full of knowledge.
I cannot recommend enough to try Lon Way Expeditions, it was such a find!
And Tanzania was fantastic!

  One in a lifetime Safari with local tour provider  - I came across Long Way Expeditions from responsibletravel.com when looking for a travel provider that was local and eco-conscious. We promptly heard from Ann, one of the owners, and after... Read more providing our requested length of a private safari trip and the sights we hoped to see, she quickly generated a thorough itinerary. Unfortunately, our trip fell during some political unrest so we had to quickly change dates and Ann handled that like a pro.

Upon arriving to Tanzania, we were greeted at the airport by Amil, our tour guide for the duration of the safari. We really enjoyed Amil's enthusiasm, guidance, and knowledge sharing throughout the trip. We also met Ann on the first day to brief us on the itinerary and again at the end where we had lunch with her and her co-owner/husband Abu to debrief the trip. I thought this was a lovely way to end the trip and also ensure they take in feedback.

The actual safari was a once in a lifetime experience. Definitely be prepared for long days in the truck and we also highly recommend to bring a camera beyond your phone camera to capture amazing pictures. We saw the Big 5 and a multitude of other animals across three different parks. We also enjoyed seeing the local villages during our drive. We did decide to stop at a Masai village but would probably skip that as these roadside ones are known for high entrance fees and forced souvenir sales which we experienced. We'd also warn the large souvenir markets near the parks are extremely overpriced and it is worth waiting until you get to Arusha.

The standard of the accommodations we stayed in were great. From glamping in the Serengeti to lodges in Arusha, each place was beautiful, had great service, and delicious food. Overall we loved Tanzania and would travel with Long Way Expeditions again!

  Amazing and best safari ever  - This was my best safari by far,and I have done many. I found Longway expeditions through Responsible travel. From my very first contact with Ann, I found her... Read more to be very professional. Her responses were always prompt and that was important given I only gave her 5 days to prepare my specific itinerary! I did an 11 day Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar tour and experienced so much more than I was expecting. I loved the fact that this was a family owned company and also great to see that they support local initiatives. Meeting with Abu was refreshing and a great pleasure. I always felt safe and comfortable. This was essential especially as I was travelling solo for the first time.
Abu was extremely knowledgeable, patient and caring. The drives are long but we filled them with lots of chatter and banter, with him only interrupting to point out things of interest on the road. He has convinced me to return and see more of their amazing country. Ann and Abu have exceeded my expectations. See you in a few months! 🙂
