  • 6 Days Tanzania Budget  Camping  Safari reviewer 1
    · October 12th, 2025
    ‎Traveling with Zack from Exciting Africa Holidays was a dream come true for my photography hobby. ‎ ‎He knew exactly where to position the vehicle for the best light and angles. The transport was sturdy, clean, and had plenty of space for camera gear. Meals were satisfying and varied, keeping us energized. ‎ ‎Our tented camp offered incredible night sounds—hyenas laughing in the distance! I captured elephants, lions, and even a rare black rhino. ‎ ‎The attention to detail and overall value for money were exceptional. I returned home with memory cards full and a heart even fuller.
