        Just awesome!
        We've just returned from a trip of a lifetime. And we cannot praise Ann and her team enough. From first making contact with 'Long Ways Expeditions' to the last day nothing was too much for the team and we felt well supported and looked after. We had the most wonderful time, it was unbelievable how our driver, 'eagle eyed' Abraham spotted the animals. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the birds and wildlife. We came so very close to elephants, lions, baboons and giraffes, to name just a few. We even saw a leopard feeding on a carcass in a tree. All the lodges we stayed in (locally owned) were absolutely fantastic and so was the food. We can highly recommend the company. Anybody wanting to have a truly wonderful experience in Tanzania should contact 'Long Way Expeditions' and they will ensure you have a great experience. Ann came to see us on the last day to get our feedback. Nothing was too much for her.

        Trip of a lifetime
        This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We found Long Way Expeditions through Responsible Travel and their attention to supporting the community and sustainable practices was much appreciated and apparent in day to day practices as well as the lodges and companies they support. Ann was responsive and accommodating throughout the booking process. In addition to our custom safari itinerary, she was able to set up our logistics for segments of our trip far across the country, including a beach stay in Zanzibar. From the minute Abu met us at the airport in Arusha, we knew we were in good hands. Abu's ability to see animals while navigating rutted and narrow roads was incredible. His deep familiarity of the area and the flora and fauna that inhabit it was shared and made the experience more meaningful and impactful. We traveled in Africa for our honeymoon and Ann made sure each hotel knew we were celebrating a special occasion. I cannot say enough good things about this company. If you value supporting locally owned companies, eco-friendly travel, and a unique, specialized experience, Long Way Expeditions is for you. You will not be disappointed.

        Awesome Safari Company!
        I recently went on a 6-day safari with Long Way Expeditions. We visited 3 different National Parks and I’m happy to say that I did get awesome pictures of “The Big Five” animals during my safari. I can’t say enough good things about Ann and Abu, the owners of Long Way. I received excellent, personalized service while booking the trip as well as upon my arrival to Africa and throughout the safari itself. Abu is very knowledgeable about the animals, the parks we visited, and he has an eagle eye for spotting wildlife that I could hardly believe. On a few occasions, it took some effort for me to find an animal through my zoom lens that Abu spotted with the naked eye as we were driving! Although the parks are navigated mostly via dirt tire ruts all over the place, Abu never hesitated on making a turn or ever consulted a map. He has many years of experience travelling through the parks. The day before my safari, Ann personally came to see me at my hotel, and we sat together as she explained what to expect and how the safari would work. Ann and Abu were both very responsive to texts and emails whenever I needed information. There are larger safari companies out there, but I’d highly recommend this family run business that gives a more personal approach any day. Highly recommended, they are truly a 10/10 safari company. I couldn’t say “Asante Sana” enough for their work.

        EVERY DAY You Can Say “Best Day Ever, Abu!”
        This was absolutely a trip of a lifetime. We found Long Way Expeditions through Responsible Travel. We did look at other companies but landed on this one because the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for. When planning this trip, Ann was able to accommodate us and make a few changes and help us fine tune our experience. From the moment Abu warmly greeted us at the airport with a broad smile and Ann greeted us at the hotel with an equally warm smile to discuss our time with them, we relaxed from the day’s travels and knew we were in good hands. Everyday was an adventure. Abu was the best guide. Whenever possible, he gave us an experience away from all the other tourists yet enabled us to see all the wonders of Tanzania up close. It was wonderful to deal with a locally owned company, a husband and wife team and an expedition company committed to supporting their community and making it a better place. Just the kind of company we wanted to support vs a company putting profit ahead of people. I truly can’t say enough about this tour company. Ann and Abu care about their clients and their community. And it shows.

        Experience of a lifetime!
        Thank you to Ann and Abu! We had the most incredible safari, from the moment we arrived we felt so well taken cared of and comfortable. Ann and Abu planned an amazing experience, from a perfectly crafted and personalised itinerary, to homemade lunches, local coffee, breathtaking accommodation and of course an unforgettable safari. If you are considering going to this part of the world, we highly recommend Long Way Expeditions, going with a local company means a different level of understanding, care and consideration for the region as well as money going back into the Tanzanian economy. Thank you again, we'll be back!

        Safari and beach
        My two teenage children and I had an amazing five day safari in Tanzania followed by a beach break in Zanzibar. Everything was organised by Ann at Longway Expeditions who was attentive, detailed and went the extra mile to make sure it was a very memorable holiday. Abu was our driver and guide during the five day safari and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better person to spend that time with. Fabulous memories and I would thoroughly recommend Longway Expeditions if you’re planning a safari in Tanzania.

        Breath-taking and unforgettable
        We want to thank Ann for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania. We were well taken care of and Ann remained accommodating and contactable during the trip. Our very experienced guide, Tuma, was helpful and knowledgeable to show us the beauty of the flora and fauna in the parks. He also knew how to keep us safe. He brought us to catch the wildebeest crossing, the Big Five and many other animals besides, and at close range! Tanzania’s parks and animals are thriving, so do put yourself in Ann’s capable hands if you’re planning on a safari in Africa soon.

        Exceptional Experience with Longway Expeditions
        My partner and I have just returned from a trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with Longway Expeditions. And it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. One important factor for us was to travel with a local company, supporting the local economy and community. I was connected to Longway Expeditions through Responsible Travel in Brighton. Our trip was 7 days in Tanzania visiting Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and a hike on Kilimanjaro, followed by 5 nights in Zanzibar. From my first interaction with co-owner Anne, I knew we had made the right choice. Anne was friendly, helpful and communicative, providing a detailed itinerary and all the information we needed ahead of the trip. She was flexible and accommodating, even when we requested a last-minute change to the agenda. And we were later to find out that she was also an amazing cook, as we enjoyed delicious home-cooked meals while out on some of our drives. Anne’s husband and business partner Abu was our driver and guide for the 7 days in Tanzania. Abu picked us up from the airport and immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. Throughout our time with Abu, it was clear he did things differently and we learnt so much. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the parks and their fascinating wildlife and ecosystems, which he took time to share, enriching our experience. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best animal sightings possible – often taking quieter, less crowded routes – and it paid off with the rich diversity of animals we saw. We came up close and personal with elephants, saw mating lions on their ‘honeymoon’, found lion cubs and cheetahs snoozing, watched 2 male giraffes fighting, tracked hundreds of zebra and wildebeests along their migration, and so much more. The accommodation throughout was excellent. Clean, comfortable and with a focus on locally owned. Some lodges even have kitchen gardens, providing fresh food straight to the plate. A particular highlight was the Into the Wild Africa tented camp in the heart of the Serengeti, where we could hear the lions prowling outside at night! When I asked Abu how they came up with the name Longway Expeditions, he told me that it reflected the long path that he and Anne had come along together to set up their dream. Their passion, hard work, love of their beautiful country, knowledge and expertise, attention to detail, and care for the people and planet shine through in every way. When we said goodbye at the airport, I had genuine tears in my eyes. The whole experience had touched me deeply and I felt like I was saying goodbye to old friends. For anyone considering a safari holiday in Tanzania or Kenya, I cannot recommend Longway Expeditions highly enough. Asante Sana Anne and Abu. We are already planning our next trip!

        Expedition Extraordinaire
        Ann and Abu delivered 100% on Long Way’s objective to “provide guests with safari expeditions & great experiences, always taking into consideration individual interests.” Ann took care of all our requests, big and small, in the planning of the itinerary and Abu executed it to perfection, happily accommodating even our quirky request for frequent bush toilet stops :-) We learnt so much from Abu who passionately imparts his knowledge about Tanzania, its people & culture, animal behavior and their role in the eco-system. I am also impressed by his love for his people & the environment, often saving up food for local workers in the national parks in instances where we had too much in our lunch boxes. More importantly, Abu had always put in his utmost effort to optimise our sighting opportunities. I am glad that we had chosen Long Way and in the process helped a locally-owned company and a Tanzanian family. Will definitely recommend Long Way to anyone looking to having an extraordinary safari & wildlife experience.

        Memorable and Surreal
        Look no further if you are thinking of a safari tour in Tanzania or even Kenya - Long Way Expeditions is the tour agency to go with! From the start when I communicated with Ann (Reservation Manager), I knew we were in safe hands. She understood our desires perfectly and customized our tour meeting all our requirements. She even looked into minute details such as how much rest we would have, etc. Abu (Driver-Guide), on the other hand, executed the itinerary with precision, while doing his best to fulfil our hope to see the Big 5 and more. Although he was battling against the work of nature, his passion for the wild and knowledge of the places we visited brought him success. We did not expect it, but we saw the Big 5 and other actions that were surreal. Abu also cared very much for our safety and comfort throughout the trip. What more can I say, except that I highly recommend Long Way Expeditions.

        Conscientious travel
        I found this family owned company thru responsible travel. I was pleased to know that my travel is able to support a local owned company that not only cares about their customers but that also shows the same love and pride toward the animals, the environment and their country. The whole trip was seamless from the planning to the actual trip itself. As a solo female traveler, I felt peace of mind and safe. Ann was very helpful in helping plan the best itinerary that will suit your all your needs and other quirks. Communication was prompt and smooth. The driver guides with their expertise will make the game drive not just enjoyable and entertaining but also educational. You can also feel the immense respect they have for the animals. This has been a memorable first trip to Africa ever, all thanks to the excellent team at Long Way Expeditions. I highly recommend and will travel with them again.

        Wonderful Safari experience
        Thank you Longway Expeditions for a fantastic safari everything was great throughout. Ann was really quick to respond during the planning stage and our guide driver Abraham was a star ....driving the 4x4 over some really tricky roads (there had been a lot of unseasonal rain) at the same time as spotting and telling us about animals (we saw so many!) They picked us up from the airport and dropped us at Kiboko Lodge (which is also worth staying at especially if you like birds) We really recommend using this Tanzanian owned company. Asante to Ann and Abraham

        Well organised safari
        We did a 12 day safari in Tanzania including Arusha national park, enduimet, Tarangire, lake manyara, lake natron, Serengeti and ngorongoro. Ann listened to requirements of our trip and adjusted the itinerary well. The trip was well organised. In addition, in most cases lodges were used which were either owned by the local community or supported them.

        Excellent Safari company.
        Superb high-performing Tanzania-based Safari company. We spent 6 nights visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater and were thoroughly satisfied.

      We enjoyed a superbe safari experience with Long Way Expeditions visiting Nogorgoro, Tarangere and Lake Manyara, thanks to Ann, Abu and our wonderful guide Nathan! Everything went smoothly concerning organization and communication. Our driver and guide Nathan introduced us into the wonders of the African animal world. He knew ALL the animals, their stories and behaviour, including the smallest bird. We had a great time with Nathan, thanks to his knowledge and fine sense for humour. We are happy to have been able to support a locally owned and run Safari company. We made the booking via Lenguka travel (Lemara camp at Nyerere National park) and highly recommend to go and visit this camp and national park also. Great to see how local companies dedicated to sustainable and responsible travel cooperate! Thanks for having us, Ann, Abu, Nathan (and Leepa), Henrike and Thomas9

      The team is a friendly and family community collective that went over and above to create a personal experience which offers all the elements of a dream trip and more
      During the booking process Anna ensured all my questions, aspirations and budget needs were met. Her communication was always friendly and upon meeting Anna upon arrival, I felt like I was meeting a friend
      The little details are everything e.g. a welcome pack gift, messages after trips to check-in to collect feedback felt genuine and caring
      My main guide Nathan was exceptional. He was attentive to my style of exploration and adventure and adapted to this e.g. changing lunch plans so I could explore town life, taking longer at certain destinations because I favored the view/animals
      How wonderful it felt to have the entire Longway Expeditions team come to the airport to bid me farewell
      I departed hoping, vowing to return with my family one day, so they could meet the Longway Expedition family and friends team which I class as dear friends, who gave me magic moments that will last a lifetime
      No words can express my gratitude to Abu, Anna and Nathan

      Attention to details on every stop we made, where we slept, ate, or shop!
      The Safari exceeded our expectations entirely, great experience!

      My friends and I had great time from the first day to the last day. We toured Tarangire and Manyara. We were able to tour Arusha City in between too where we stopped at local food places from tandoori chicken joint, samaki makange (fish with vegetable gravy and some local herbs, spices) to nyama choma spots (grilled meat), appetizing breakfast etc! Excellent hotel services, mouth watering picnic meals, AND PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE. It was an incredible experience. We also stopped on the way a couple of times times to support local vendors! We didn't feel rushed at all, or pressured to see animals. Our guide was fantastic. He drove safely and was knowledgeable, and passionate about his job. He was patient and great with the all of us. Also the vehicle was in great condition. We are planning to go back soon for a longer safari!

      Amazing safari tour that we organized in last minute. Abu was very reactive and listened to our needs and our wishes.
      He is very trustfull, interesting and kind.
      He is very attentive to his customers and makes your safari unforgettable.
      We still have beautifull memories about the animals and views that we have seen.
      Abu works with his wife as independant and this makes things such easier.
      Even if his company is new he has a lot of experience in the safaris.
      We highly recommend his company !! We will not be disappointed !

      We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Long Way Expeditions! Our guide was Tuma (Mr. T) and HIGHLY recommended. He has a wildlife degree, has been completing safaris for over 18 years, and very knowledgeable in all the SAFE, friendly, and clean areas. We were able to see all animals that were on our list AND not have our Land Rover jeep breakdown. I recommend looking into an experienced driver during your safari as the roads are VERY steep, rocky, muddy, and edgy. We saw many other safari companies have their jeep break down due to poor vehicle maintenance, inexperienced drivers, and lack of knowledge in general; leaving those clients stranded. We have ZERO ISSUES and a FANTASTIC WORRY FREE experience. Would DEFINITELY COME BACK! Thanks Anne!
