GUEST REVIEWS
Adam M
We just got back from an amazing 4-day Safari with Greyjoy tours . The company really stands out with their outstanding level of service! The office was very helpful in customizing our trip to our needs and our budget. Our guide, Eugen, was very very experienced, he told us every single detail about the animals and background information about the national parks. Above any expectations, he served every day a super delicious lunch in a great scenery. Honestly, the lunches organized by Greyjoy were by far the best food we had in Tanzania! Eugen even cleaned the Safari Jeep every day, not that we have expected that at all. And last but not least he has a very good sense of humorSo if you are looking for an unbeatable safari experience in Tanzania look no further and go with Greyjoy tours & Safari and ask for Eugen as guide!

Lindsay Swartz Martinez
