Overall trip of a lifetime. Had an amazing experience Things that would have helped; Game drive would have been beneficial if driver/guide provided us with information regarding the places and animals we were seeing. He was a great driver but lacked knowledge about the animals we were seeing. We saw some of the driver/guide providing educational information which our driver lacked. there needs to be a streamline in how the schedule/tours are managed daily. We were not made aware of schedule changes and somethings were a surprise to our group. Tanzania and Zanzibar were beautiful apart from otherwise stated everything was great, my group was catered to and taken very good care of.

Hi Modesta, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent trip! I’m thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience overall and that you found Tanzania and Zanzibar to be beautiful destinations. Its wonderful to hear that you, Terecienna, Felician and Zanita were all taken care of. I appreciate your comments regarding the game drive and schedule management. Your observations about the need for more informative commentary from the driver/guide are valuable. It sounds like you missed out on some of the educational aspects that could have enhanced your experience. I’ll make sure to pass this feedback along to ensure future guides are better equipped to provide detailed information about the wildlife and locations. Regarding the schedule and tour management, it’s clear that better communication is needed to avoid surprises and ensure a smoother experience. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused by the lack of updates. Your input will be helpful in improving how schedule changes are communicated to travelers. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. I’m glad to hear that despite these issues, you and rest of the ladies enjoyed your trip, and I hope this doesn’t overshadow the fantastic memories you created. Safe travels on your future adventures! Asante sana again and I appreciate you. Regards, Justa.

With 54 countries to choose from, I wanted to settle on one, which would define the journey of exploring the beautiful continent and our motherland, Africa. After much thought and indecisiveness, I settled on Tanzania. This inaugural trip to Africa, was to celebrate a milestone birthday and I wanted to be accompanied by close family and friends, so ensuring it was an enjoyable trip for all, was a priority. After attempting to plan the trip on my own, it became overwhelming and it was obvious that I needed assistance. I first heard about "Curious on Tanzania" through a referral from a friend who'd travel to Tanzania in 2020 and deciding to go with this travel company was the best decision I ever made. After reaching out to Justa, who founded this boutique, black-owned travel company, we had a phone consultation and in a few days, she sent a draft itinerary for my travel party to review within my specified budget. I recall telling Justa that I wanted my experience to be around culture, history, adventure and relaxation and she curated an experience that perfectly captured those interests. In the months leading up to the travel date, Justa and I frequently communicated and I even provided her with additional requests, such as a birthday photoshoot, birthday cake, makeup artist and photoshoot outfit, and without any hesitation, she agreed to make it happen. Fast forward to the actual trip in October 2022, and the entire experience was nothing short of AMAZING. Justa and her team made my family and I feel like we were the only ones being catered to. The accommodations were excellent, the tour guides and drivers were kind, knowledgeable, patient, dependable and personable. We didn't have to worry about anything, except be on time for the drivers to take us to the various activities/areas. Justa's flexibility is also commendable, as she inserted activities during the trip, which she felt would be of additional value and interest, at no additional cost. I commend Justa and her team for the great work they do in providing these curated and unforgettable experiences to persons like me. If you have a burning desire to travel to Tanzania or any other African country, but do not know where to begin, I highly recommend reaching out to "Curious on Tanzania'' and you will not be disappointed. Thanks Justa and team!
