Beej K2025-08-17Verified The most incredible Masaai Mara trip with hot air balloon, Masaai village & a wonderful glamping stay with Entim camp! We had the most incredible trip all thanks to Sona Thakrar at Tourio Getaways for planning and following through on the execution of every detail with the itinerary! The Entim glamoing was out of this world experience, the private safari car and driver were the best! We also had the most amazing hot air balloon ride with a well trained pilot from South Africa who gave us a very smooth and safe experience overlooking the wildlife below! Highly recommend you go with Tourio Getaways in planning your trip of a lifetime! sadhnap20142025-08-15Verified Best of Tanzania with Tourio. TOURIO organized an absolutely fantastic and well planned 2 weeks tour of the Serengeti and Zanzibar. Highly personalized and guided tour. We were without worry from beginning (landing at airport in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) to the end (leaving Dar) they were there to help and guide us. All hotels, camps, cars, internal plane trips were perfectly booked. Timely reminders (daily). experienced drivers (like Peter in Dar) and driver- guides like Nurdin (Serengeti) and Justin (Sayari Camp) were knowledgeable and showed us a lot. In 35 years of traveling globe , this was hands down the best vacation . We felt pampered. Seamless trip with attention to our every need. TOURIO is a must if anyone plans a trip anywhere.

We used Tourio, specifically, Sona, to plan and book a six day safari in The Serengeti and in Nyerere. She did all the really complicated stuff like the flights and transfers. The whole experience was a joy from start to finish.She is very diligent when you are ‘in country’ constantly checking we are at each airport, checking in, making sure we have any driver’s contact details.When a flight time changed, she rebooked us onto another one without hassling us and just sent us the new tickets.She also arranged transfers for legs of our trip that we had booked ourselves.The two camps were fantastic and we would unreservedly recommend her to anyone trying to put together a trip. rajnikant g2025-08-01Verified A dream come true holiday very friendly and hospitable .

A very memorable experience of African Safari and ZanzibarNatures wonder unspoilt and beautiful Vincent Kessy guide excellent Sona Thakrar sterling organisation and planning, highly recommend her firm Nomad522018090712025-07-29Verified African Safari. I have been to so many different countries, but Serengeti holds a special spot in my life, the sheer amount of nature’s creations you will be seeing is unimaginable. Sona crafted our trip based on our likings, everything from our stay to our travel was looked after and cared to fullest. The only tip I can give is carry a professional camera, because things you see is exclusive to you and won’t repeat, i.e. cheetahs, lions and what not!!

We enjoyed safari in the serengeti and had great Tourio Guides/Drivers who were knowledgable, kind, fun and committed to giving us the best safari experience! After safari, we enjoyed a relaxing time in Zanzibar. Thank you to Sona and her team for a great trip! Ollo P2025-06-23Verified A Truly Magical Family Safari with Tourio Getaways! Our family had an unforgettable safari experience with Tourio Getaways that we will cherish for years to come. From the stunning wildlife encounters to the warm hospitality at every stop, everything was beautifully organized and delivered beyond expectations.Our Safari Journey (June 16–20):We began our adventure on Monday, June 16, flying into Mwanza before meeting our incredible guide, Robert. From there, we embarked in a comfortable and well-equipped safari jeep, heading through the East Gate into Serengeti Central Park. Along the way, we witnessed the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration, a once-in-a-lifetime sight that left us all speechless.We spent three nights at the Hippo Trail Tented Camp, where the atmosphere was both adventurous and cozy. The tents were comfortable, and the staff were welcoming, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. We enjoyed peaceful evenings under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the wild—a dream come true for us and especially for our children, who were wide-eyed with excitement every day.On June 19, we continued to Ngorongoro, where we stayed at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge. This lodge was another highlight—beautiful views of the lush landscape, serene surroundings, and a team that was incredibly kind and professional. The next day, we descended into the Ngorongoro Crater for an exhilarating final day of game viewing.Another Unforgettable Stop – Arusha:After our adventure in the crater, we headed to Arusha at the survival Wildlife, where we had the chance to feed wild animals—another unforgettable experience, especially for the kids! Interacting with animals up close in a controlled environment was both thrilling and heartwarming. It was the perfect final touch to an already incredible journey before we drove to Kilimanjaro International Airport to catch our flight back to Dar es Salaam.Highlights of Our Tour:From seeing all of the Big Five to countless other animals like giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, and warthogs, every moment in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Arusha was magical. Our children especially loved spotting lions lounging in the sun and watching elephants wander past our vehicle. The experience was not only fun but deeply educational for them—they're still talking about it!Our Amazing Guide – Robert:A heartfelt thank you to Robert, our outstanding guide. His warm personality, deep knowledge of wildlife, and passion for his work made the trip so much more enriching. He speaks fluent English, answered every question with patience, and always ensured we had the best views and experiences. Robert’s love for nature and animals was contagious, and his thoughtful care for our family—especially our kids—truly made a difference.Service and Organization:The organization by Tourio Getaways was seamless from start to finish. Communication was smooth and clear during the planning phase, and everything during the trip ran like clockwork. From the comfortable transportation to well-chosen lodges and flexible scheduling, we felt fully taken care of at every stage. I truly shouted out to Ms. Sona Thakrar who has been on top of this wonderful journey.Would We Recommend Tourio Getaways?Absolutely, without hesitation! We enthusiastically recommend Tourio Getaways to anyone looking for a high-quality, family-friendly safari in Tanzania. Their attention to detail, incredible guides like Robert, and choice of accommodations by Ms. Sona made our trip a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and awe. We are already dreaming of coming back one day!
