ReWild Away gave us the perfect Tanzania experience!
​
Unforgettable first trip in Tanzania thanks to ReWild Away! We had some internet research on which agent to use… after contact with Ineke it gave us a lot of hope to be delivered with a personal itinerary, giving the variaty of safari, nature hikes and getting in touch with the local people and their culture. ReWild Away and its crew delivered!
During our short stay in Tanzania (5 days) we were spoiled with the perfect mix: casual hikes with the guide into the local non-touristic parts of town, the big 5 safari of Ngorongoro (we saw them all!), Lake Empakaai hike, safari of Tarangire and last day to finish with Mto Wa Mbu visit.
For that last day we had our local guide showing us around in the way the people live in the town, how they cultivate their crops, a visit to the local market, a short tuktuk trip and to finish an abundant lunch with their local dishes. Delicious!
​
We would like to give special kudos to:
- Ineke for the planning and to always be available to contact.
- Hassan for being our perfect guide and driver, being very knowledgable and being very skilled and resourceful for the safari car. A+
- Marc for delivering our perfect last day in Mto Wa Mbu. He is very knowledgable and we learned vast amounts of him whilst we had a great closure of our journey in Tanzania.

What a wonderful trip to Tanzania...constant wonder... at the local way of life, the wildlife, and those vast landscapes that never cease to amaze.
Thanks to Rewild Away, we were able to enjoy it all to the fullest. We didn't have to worry about a thing because the organization was top-notch! Down to the last detail!
Our guide, Hassan, was such a pleasure to spend two weeks with. And you had the feeling that both Hassan and Ineke did everything they could to make our trip unforgettable.
They even remembered our birthdays. We're still enjoying the memories... and are realizing more and more that beautiful Tanzania has stolen our hearts! A sincere thank you to Rewild Away 😊😊

​Thanks to Rewild Away I discovered the real Africa. It was my third time in Africa and Tanzania was the nicest.
The Rewild Away family showed me how stunning nature was, how heartwarming the locals were and what Tanzanian culture was like.
​
We saw lots of different animals in the beautiful national parks. We stayed in Serengeti for 4 days, but I could’ve stayed much longer. Serengeti was by far the most beautiful piece I've seen of Africa. I loved the silence and the quietness.
​
During the whole trip we slept in different places and each place was unique in its way. Each place was checked first by the company.
​
The whole trip was very personal, which I liked very much. Also thanks to our guide we made many good memories and had a trip we’ll remember for a very long time.
​
Big hugs, see you next time, Tanzania !

Fantastische organisatie met een persoonlijke aanpak!
​
Dankzij Rewild Away hebben wij een fantastische reis gemaakt in Tanzania! Met een hart voor de natuur, de mensen en de dieren leidde de gids ons door de Serengeti en andere prachtige plekken.
​
Een troef van de organisatie is dat ze enkel samenwerken met lodges die oog hebben voor hun personeel, het klimaat en natuurlijk ook de klanten.
​
Een andere grote troef van Rewild Away is de kleinschaligheid van de organisatie. Dit zorgt voor een zeer persoonlijke aanpak en nauw contact met de reisbegeleider.
​
Als je van plan bent om naar Tanzania te reizen is Rewild Away zeker en vast de juiste keuze om jouw reis te plannen!

Tijdens de vakantiebeurs in Amsterdam hebben wij de presentatie van Ineke over Tanzania bijgewoond en waren er vrijwel direct uit dat dit de vakantiebestemming voor onze “once in a life-time” reis zou moeten worden.
Wij hebben met Ineke onze wensen voor onze gezinsreis besproken waarbij ze geweldig heeft meegedacht en zich super in ons heeft verplaatst. Ondanks fysieke beperkingen van onze dochter heeft zij meegedacht en gekeken wat er wel mogelijk zou zijn. Dat is zonder twijfels waanzinnig goed gelukt!
Onze reis begon op Arusha Airport waar wij door Hassan zijn opgehaald en met wie wij de komende 10 dagen Tanzania gaan ontdekken. Er is al snel na onze kennismaking een bijzondere band met Hassan ontstaan. Hij heeft ons de liefde voor zijn land, de dieren en de mensen laten zien en dit met ons gedeeld. Het was heel speciaal om hier deel van uit te mogen maken. Hassan heeft ons zo veel laten zien, proeven en ervoor gezorgd dat wij ons thuis hebben gevoeld. Hij wijkt af van de gebaande paden, nam ons mee naar lokale markten, en liet ons kennismaken met het dagelijks leven van de Tanzanianen en de Masai. Wij hadden schoolspullen meegenomen en wilden dit graag bij een kleine dorpse school afgeven, ook dit heeft Hassan voor ons kunnen regelen wat ook een hele indrukwekkende ervaring is geweest.
Na deze 10 dagen rondreis waarin wij in deze korte tijd zoveel mogelijk hebben gezien en gedaan hebben wij afscheid genomen van onze geweldige reisgenoot, gids en chauffeur Hassan. De afsluiting op Zanzibar was ook prima en prachtige accommodatie met fijne mensen die voor ons zorgden. Met de watersafari’s en een bezoekje aan Prison Island en een wandeling door de oude stad is onze reis fantastisch afgerond.
Wij hebben met ons gezin genoten van een geweldige, unieke, indrukwekkende en onvergetelijke reis waarbij ik met liefde en bewondering voor het land en de mensen voor altijd in mijn herinneringen zal meedragen.
Wij zijn Ineke, Hassan, Jacky en chef kok en alle anderen bijzonder dankbaar voor de perfecte verzorging van alles! Jullie hebben allemaal zo enorm je best gedaan voor ons en dat is op en top gelukt. Heel veel bewondering daarvoor! Zonder jullie inzet en hulp was deze kennismaking met Tanzania nooit op deze manier gelukt! Wij hopen jullie dan ook zeker terug te zien! !! Karibu !!

Onlangs ben ik samen met mijn vader op safari geweest met Rewild Away, en het was werkelijk een onvergetelijke ervaring. Alles was tot in de puntjes geregeld – van de planning tot de uitvoering. De organisatie was professioneel, transparant en altijd beschikbaar voor vragen of wensen.
Wat deze reis echt bijzonder maakte, was onze gids. Zijn kennis van de natuur, dieren en lokale cultuur was indrukwekkend, en zijn passie werkte aanstekelijk. Dankzij hem hebben we niet alleen ongelooflijk veel wilde dieren gezien, maar ook écht inzicht gekregen in het ecosysteem en de omgeving.
De hele reis verliep vlot en zorgeloos, waardoor we ons volledig konden onderdompelen in het avontuur. Als je op zoek bent naar een authentieke safari-ervaring met oog voor detail, comfort en natuurbehoud, dan kan ik Rewild Away van harte aanbevelen.
Zonder twijfel een reis om nooit te vergeten!

This was my second time visiting Tanzania, but it was my first time really experiencing this country.
​
Thanks to the wonderful team of Rewildaway, I got the chance to connect more with the local people of Tanzania and we got to see places that were more secluded and diverse than on my first trip here.
​
I had already seen the bigger parks like Ngorongoro and Serengeti before, so I was very happy that this time I got to see other parts of the country. We went to see the lush Empakaai crater, the dramatically beautiful Lake Natron and its surrounding mountains/volcanoes on a multi-day hiking trip. The campsites were so special and the people taking care of us were absolutely lovely.
​
Afterwards we went to the mountains in Lushoto with one of the most amazing sunrises I've ever seen on the top of one of the mountains. We continued our trip to the Mkomazi national park, where we could see all the animals drink from the waterhole right next to our camp!
​
Our guide Hassan was so friendly and nice and made sure we always got to see the most of the wildlife. He was able to drive us safely on our entire trip, even on the more difficult parts of the road!
​
I can't thank the team of ReWild Away enough for arranging such an amazing experience for me, these 3 weeks were amazing!
One day I'll be back!

FIVE STARS to Rewild Away for our custom safari vacation!
​
Huge thanks to Rewild Away for a week's vacation with my daughter that was amazing from start to finish! Our wishes were for game drives at Maasai Mara National Park, a volunteer opportunity, time immersed with a Maasai tribe and hiking. And we got it all, thanks to Ineke and her team's hard work! Our guide was excellent! Accommodations and food were perfect. We got a lot of hiking and sightseeing in at Lake Navaisha. Highly recommend Rewild Away who can create your dream vacation as they did ours!

HIGHLY recommending Rewild Away
​
Wow wow wow! Could not recommend the Rewild team enough! They curated an incredible itinerary for me & my mom on a 1 week Safari. Our guide was fantastic which can truly make or break your safari experience. Throughout our trip we had great food & service & could not have asked for a better week. They were also available & checked in throughout our vacay. Don't think twice about booking with Rewild!

Fantastische 24-daagse rondreis door Tanzania
​
We wilden een onvergetelijke reis en we hebben ze gekregen dankzij Rewild Away!
Ze hebben vooraf geluisterd naar onze wensen (de échte cultuur, lokale ervaringen, prachtige safari's) en vooral wat we niet wilden (massatoerisme). Ter plaatse een topgids met veel kennis op alle vlakken. Ze waren oprecht geïnteresseerd of alles naar wens verliep en we werden onmiddellijk geholpen als we het nodig hadden. Een echte aanrader!

Tanzania & Kenya with the heartwarming people of rewildaway!
Having been to Tanzania once before with my boyfriend in 2021, but in the southern part (Mikumi, Ruaha & Selous), it was clear to us that we had to return one day.
And so we got in touch with Ineke from rewildaway. She responded to our wishes and made us a great offer for our dream trip 2.0. We decided to add a few days in Kenya after Tanzania, which we were also able to book directly through rewildaway.
Before I write about the highlights of the trip, I would particularly like to emphasize the warmth of EVERYONE at Rewildaway. Starting with Jacki & Ineke, through the guides Hassan & Jackson, to all the staff in the selected lodges.
The highlights of the trip.
- Serengeti: Huge herds of animals, an incredible number of big cats and endless expanses. The Serengeti enchanted us and we already know that we will be back.
- Ngorongoro: The landscape of the crater is unique - coupled with the variety of animals, for me it is probably THE most beautiful park I have ever visited. (And there were a lot of them.)
- Masai Mara: We had two full days in the Mara, and our guide made it possible for us to see baby lions, baby cheetahs and many other adorable animals.
The choice of accommodation was excellent. It was clean, the food was excellent and the beds were comfortable. Everything you need! You don't really stay long in the accommodation on a trip like this. The days start very early and usually end when it's dark. You are usually so tired from the events of the day that you just look forward to going to bed.
You are doing a great job! And we are already looking forward to our next trip with you.

Together with my fiancée and my father-in-law, I traveled with ReWild Away for 17 days.
First of all, we would like to say that the trip was an absolute dream. The organization was perfect and contact with Jacky and Ineke was possible at any time. We felt safe at all times and we felt that having satisfied guests is a matter close to ReWild Away's heart.
I will briefly summarize our trip below:
First we were in Tanzania for 10 days (Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti and Ngorongoro), and then in Kenya for 7 days (Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Nairobi).
We were warmly welcomed by Jacky after our arrival and had dinner together. On the same day, we met our guide Hassan, who discussed the next day and the start of our trip with us.
And then we were off, early in the morning, in the direction of Tarangire. A few minutes after arriving in the park, we saw a lioness sitting in a tree from a long way off. We also spotted a leopard, just to mention the highlights of the park.
We continued on to Lake Natron, a beautiful area with lots of flamingos and plenty of conversations with the local Masai.
As a passionate photographer, I was particularly looking forward to our next destination, the Serengeti! In the middle of the migration, surrounded by thousands of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo, we felt like we were in a fairytale. Thanks to Hassan, we also saw an incredible number of lions and once again we were lucky enough to see a leopard. The Serengeti is an absolute dream so we will definitely be back!
The Ngorongoro Crater was our next destination. Wow! The scenery is absolutely unique. We were able to spot a rhino from a long way off and once again had the pleasure of seeing lions. But the scenery of the crater alone makes it worthwhile.
Our time in Tanzania was coming to an end. Jacky and her husband drove us personally to the border with Tanzania and Kenya, where we were met by our new guide.
We drove to Amboseli National Park and were able to spot many elephants. In addition, and this was the highlight of the park for us, Kilimanjaro showed itself in all its glory. An unforgettable spectacle.
The next item on the program was Lake Naivasha. Truly a wonderful place to which we will return one day with a little more time in our schedule.
The trip ended with another highlight, the Masai Mara. Jackson, our guide, was an absolute professional. He navigated us to the most amazing sightings and we were able to see a whole pride of lions with 6 babies and a mother cheetah with 4 cubs. Our eyes were filled with tears of joy.
Many thanks to the ReWild Away team (Ineke, Jacky, Hassan and Jackson) for the many great highlights! We would love to come again.

My biggest lifelong dream was to visit the Serengeti. I am 64 years old and have only seen the Serengeti in countless documentaries, including ‘Serengeti shall not die’ by Grzimek.
With ReWild Away I have fulfilled this wish. It couldn't have been more beautiful. The amazing made this journey simply unforgettable, people that will stay in my heart forever.
And then the animals … huge herds of wildebeest, buffalo and zebra, imposing elephants and giraffes, a multitude of predators such as lions and leopards.
I actually thought that I wouldn't be able to make it physically as I'd had various operations. However, the seats in the car were extremely comfortable, and seats were even removed from the car so that I had maximum legroom. I also prefer to stand. Thanks to a roof on the car that could be opened, I was able to enjoy every moment of the safari.
The whole team at ReWild Away made sure I was comfortable at all times. The accommodation was excellently chosen and the beds were comfortable. The communication was excellent and I made two friends for life in Jacky and Ineke.
All in all, memories that will stay with me forever!
PS. I was not only in the Serengeti, but also in Tarangire Park, among other places. However, I wanted to describe my personal highlight here.

I finally found a travel expert for photographic safaris in Tanzania.
A travel company which put their heart and soul in what they do.
I have been to Kenya for 28 times and to Tanzania only for 4 times ! You know why ?
From the ocean of Travel Agents in Tanzania, how do I choose the right planner ? Because anyone can become a travel agent in Tanzania with some experience and contacts.
As a Wildlife photographer who’s been doing this since 2013 and also a frequent visitor to Kenya (28 times), I did not want to compromise on my itinerary in Tanzania. Nor did I want to do several more trips to find the right person to travel with.
I came across ReWild Away’s reel about a property in Serengeti. I have watched many videos about the stay/experience/planning in the social media but here, I have been noticing some genuine care about what she was talking. And also she’s a wildlife photographer. So I knew that she will understand a photographer’s needs.
Followed her videos for more than a month, reached out to her on Instagram and explained what I’m actually looking for in Tanzania, explained why I couldn’t easily plan a perfect itinerary for Tanzania still being a super frequent traveller to Kenya.
There are 4 main important things on a safari for a Wildlife Photographer:
* A perfect itinerary considering the weather and animal movements from absolute Live update.
* An expert driver who knows how to position and really understands wildlife.
* A place of stay which is very flexible with timings and also well located.
* Reasonable cost for all the above.
In just one week, I received an itinerary which had everything a wildlife photographer looks for.
Ndutu, Namiri, Seronera and Ngorongoro. Spent 20 days as a whole and trust me, so this was my 5th time in Tanzania but finally through an expert who genuinely cares about your experience from heart.
Got the best driver ever and also ReWild Away had been in close touch throughout and made sure everything was perfect.
This is one of the most important process that ReWild Away does. They personally ensure to travel to a place, check things on the ground level, analyse and experience the place before she takes clients on a tour. Every single experience is meticulously planned so that we have a smooth and perfect experience. And also I found out that they have a strong connection with the locals through love and kindness but not through money.
I finally found my travel partner in Tanzania and I’ll be back!
