Born Free Safaris & Tours Avis 

We have traveled to Africa five times and trusted Born Free Safaris to plan every one of those trips. The attention to detail, the careful planning, and excellent communication gave us great comfort knowing that every single need related to the trip was cared for. Our latest trip in 2025 included 8 members of our family, 2 of whom needed gluten accommodations, and each camp was aware of those needs before we arrived. We have recommended Born Free to others who have also traveled to Africa and raved about Born Free and how organized everything was. They are the absolute best!

We just returned from our 10 day safari to Tanzania. While we travel a lot, this is one part of the world we have never visited. We originally looked online and found that there were literally hundreds of companies advertising safaris. We looked a long time and thanks to the referral of someone who had worked with Born Free Safaris before, we chose Born Free. It was a key and extremely positive decision. There is so much to see and do, that an essential component of planning a safari is deciding where to go and when to go. Thanks to Alana and entire team at Born Free Safaris who had decades of experience, we put together a great itinerary. The help didn't end with the signing the contract, as Tina and Justin (the local team in Tanzania) continued to prep the perfect agenda for us. They answered all of our questions in a timely manner and with great detail and advice. The final travel booklet and backpack we received became our bible and lifeline. The trip itself was FANTASTIC. We stayed at 5 separate camps, each a little different, we saw all of the "big five" animals and a lot more, we had gourmet level food and service, and overall, were treated extremely well. Our guide (perhaps the key) had over 30 years experience and could be one of the best in the area. As one example of the "extra care" Born Free Safaris provided, unfortunately Ethiopian Airlines lost our bags on the way to Africa in Ethiopia. Somehow, Justin and the local team in Tanzania tracked our bags, worked with the airlines and actually had our bags specially flown in to Tarangerie Park so that we wouldn't miss any time of our trip. This was above an beyond! All of the camps they suggested, the hot air balloon company they suggested, were all top notch and seemed much better than any others we saw on our trip. I could go on and on, but I would highly recommend them if you are thinking of going on an African Safari. I know if we go back and if any of our friends ask, we will definitely recommend they work with Born Free Safaris.
