We booked a 6 days safari trip with Trip Quest and it was a wonderful experience. We started with Tarangire national park, then we moved to Serengeti where we spent 3 days (2 nights). After that we continued visiting Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara.
David, our guide, is prepared for every situation: he knows every inch of the parks, he told us lots of interesting things about the wildlife in Africa and he managed to repare the car in more than one situation (the muddy, bumpy roads of Serengeti are quite tricky even with a Land Cruiser!).
The thing we loved the most was the Serengeti NP: the endless plains are breathtaking not only for their wildlife but also for the landscapes. Moreover we also did the "sundowner" experience and it was really remarkable: the sunset on the plains is amazing, plus on the way back to the camp we saw 5 lions sleeping on a tree!
We opted for the "class one" (budget) accommodation option and all the accommodations had all the comforts.
At the end of our journey, we asked Benson if it was possible to organise a cultural visit near Arusha the next day before our flight to Zanzibar. He managed to organise us a visit to a Meru village/coffee plantation were we had the chance to make our own coffee (beans peeling, roasting and grinding procedures included!). I really recommend this experience.
Many thanks to all the staff of Trip Quest for making our trip unforgettable!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our 6-day private safari all thanks to Trip Quest!
The booking and reservation went very easy thanks to Martin who had been very helpful and answered my million questions. The booking was very organized and made it easy for me to choose accommodations and itinerary. All the lodges we chose are very remarkable and the experience very seamless we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Our guide Frank is also exceptional and made the safari experience wonderful. He was great at spotting animals and we spotted a lot of huge male lions and lioness a little further from anyone away from dozens of cars. We have seen so many animals which lived up to my expectations especially as a young girl who loved the lion king haha. We had these magnificent animals up close thanks to Frank’s effort to give us a great experience.
Benson, the manager came to us on the first day of our arrival to Arusha to brief us about our trip and came also on the last day to get our feedback so they really take every client’s experience seriously to deliver and improve.
I highly recommend Trip quest- I spoke with almost 5 other operators before deciding, even with some big name ones and went with Trip Quest for their competitive rates and ease of booking and I couldn’t have made a better decision. We did lake Manyara, Serenget, Ngorongoro and Terengire for 6-days and what a dream it had been! We didn’t need to worry about a thing as everything was so organized.
Thanks so much Trip Quest and hoping to see you again when we go back sometime soon!

Our five days safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire park was an incredible experience. We choose this new company, Trip Quest safaris, mainly for the price and it turn out to be a great success (great lodges, good car and very well selected itinerary). Our guide David knew all about animals, where to go to see them, and explain to us a lot of their behavior, so we could enjoy the trip much more. For us it was a complet success

My girlfriend and I wanted to go on a 3-day safari in Tanzania and we carefully searched for an agency that could offer us the best program, could take care of our travel needs and at a reasonable price. Our choice was Tripquest and we were not disappointed at all. First of all, our Travel Consultant Martin accompanied us throughout the preparation of the trip. He was very available and responsive, eager to create a tailor-made trip for us (from the itinerary to the lodgings to the logistical details). Once we arrived in Tanzania, we were immediately taken in charge by the Tripquest team, Benson and Julius, who were very welcoming and did an excellent job. The lodges offered and chosen were perfect and we were constantly in contact with them in case any problems arose, they were very available and took constantly some news. The choice of guide was also great. Nick, our guide, was great, very professional, very kind and smiling, great knowledge of the fauna and flora of the different natural parks, he has an excellent English and a respect for nature and the balance of the animals that we particularly appreciated. Spending 3 days with him was a real pleasure and we were sad to leave him. He really wanted us to see everything, and the promise was kept! In short, don't look any further than Tripquest, we had a great safari with beautiful moments and this is thanks to them.

Before Travelling:
between all the offers we choose TripQuest for three main aspects
1. from the begining, they make clear that they onlyworks organicing private safaris, so if your option is not this, do not follow reading. It was our, so we prefer deal with specialist rather than generalist
2.Their offer was the cheapest,far from others
3.Their lodges propousal were the nicest, becouse in contrast with other companies, in the range we were asking for ( Midle range 5days/4 nights)), they offered us two nights inside the NP , the one inside Serengueti in a tented camp in the inner part of the NP ( opposite to other offers with a tented camp closer to the gate) and the other in a lodge near Ngorongoro crater rime, inside NCA ( opposite to the others that offered us repeat a lodge in Karatu, outside NCA and farther the Ngorongoro entrance point)
Once in safari
The car was almost new, clean, comfortable and well maintained
The lodges was very well choosen
The safari rides well planed
And the best, our guide /driver a young but very high cualified profesional not only tracking animals ( or course we got the big five and much more little and hard to see wonderfull animals) but in other human branches knowledge. A real pleasure share conversations with him about african history, human evolution, economics, etc... Thanks David ( Ashante Sana)

The tour organized by Trip Quest to Serengeti and Ngorongoro was a Life Time Memorable Experience for us. The tour arrangements were made by Martin from Trip Quest, he was the only point of contact at all the time and he handled all our queries single-handedly in a professional manner. He was easily approachable and hence we did not have any inconvenience during the process.
Our guide for Safari was Frank who was the main highlight of this tour, a very young and energetic person with a lot of local knowledge. He ensured that we see all the Big 5 animals during our trip including the rarest Rhino and Leopard.
Highly recommends Trip Quest Safari to those who like to receive First class service at a very reasonable price.

I always dreamed about safari in Tanzania, and when I organised my trip there (with my boyfriend) I found Trip Quest Safaris. This agency had really good reviews so I choose to contact them. I first spoke on WhatsApp (or email) with Martin, who was so nice with me, quick responses, arranging, for every requests I had he was here, doing his best to make it happen. Due to covid I also had lots of fears and he was really reassuring, telling us everything we had to know with transparency. When we arrived in JRO, our guide David was waiting for us and we spent 4 days with him. To me he is the perfect safari guide because he is cultivated, kind, he speaks really good English, he’s funny, calm, and Tanzania has no secret for him, we learned a lot about this country (culture, wildlife, coutumes...) and for sure we felt safe. Also Benson the manager met us on our first night to explain everything and asking if we had any questions, and on our last day came back to thank us. Now it’s my turn to thank you (again) Trip Quest. For those looking for a good agency to make their safari dream come true, I really recommend this one !! See you next time for sure !! :-)

The landscapes of Lake Manyara and Nogorongo crater were so different, it was very interesting to see both and maximise our chances of seeing animals. If we had more time we would have added Serengeti National Park but this 2 day/2 night itinerary was great value. The booking process was smooth and easy. Trip Quest communicated quickly and efficiently to help us book this last-minute trip. Everything went smoothly and our guide was knowledgeable and sociable. If your budget allows, a stay at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge is heavenly!
