7 DAYS WOMEN ONLY SAFARI

  Unforgettable Safari with Long Way Expeditions - From the start, Long Way Expeditions stood out as the best choice for our safari. Led by the wonderful local couple Anne and Abu, they were professional, responsive, and deeply... Read more knowledgeable about Tanzania. We also appreciated their commitment to supporting the local community—something that set them apart from larger international operators.

Anne crafted the perfect itinerary, balancing comfort, adventure, and efficiency. Transfers were kept short so we could spend more time on game drives and unique activities, including a Kilimanjaro day trek and a visit to a Maasai village. Accommodations were excellent throughout, from charming lodges to our unforgettable Serengeti tented camp.

Abu was an outstanding guide—warm, friendly, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife—while Anne’s behind-the-scenes planning gave us complete peace of mind. Their extended team, including Paul (transfers) and Mao (mountain guide), was equally fantastic.

Thanks to Anne and Abu, we were able to relax, immerse ourselves in Tanzania’s stunning landscapes, and enjoy incredible wildlife sightings while meeting wonderful people along the way.

Asante sana, Long Way Expeditions, for giving us such a memorable experience. We can’t wait to return!

  Amazing personalised safari led by experienced locals  - Having engaged with a few providers when researching, it quickly became clear that Longway Expeditions was the right choice and they were amazing from start to finish, going above and...

  A 2 Week Tanzania Safari for Two Adults with Long Way Expeditions  - If it's a Tanzania safari, then your tour operator has to be Longway Expeditions!

Longway Expeditions is a family run Tanzanian company. Our introduction to the owners Abu and... Read more Ann was through a credible reference and our initial interaction with them was very positive. We requested a quote for a two week TZ safari package for two adults during the peak of the calving season covering different parts of the Serengeti and other national parks/conservation areas in the northern part of the country. Emphasis was on maximizing our wildlife viewing experience. After comparing quotes from other TOs we chose Longway.

Ann put the package together and Abu the able and experienced guide/driver executed flawlessly. Abu’s ability to spot, identify and describe an animal or bird at length was second to none and we were rewarded mightily with our viewing thanks to his presence. Longway certainly exceeded our expectations in this regard.

Longway is professionally run and they are prompt, courteous and trustworthy. There’s a TZ safari package from Longway for everyone across all budgets.

We were so impressed with the services of Longway that we requested them to organize another two week Tanzania trip for us in late August of 2025 that would cover the southern parks as well as the “Great Migration” up north in Northern Serengeti.

A repeat customer is the ultimate compliment for any organization!

We whole heartedly recommend Longway Expeditions for your Tanzania adventure.

  A trip of a lifetime - I am writing a belated review regarding our experience. We found them trough a platform that works with responsible tourism operators because we try to benefit local communities when we... Read more travel instead of feeding large international tourism operators where profit rarely stays in the visited countries. Adventure is run by Ann and Abu which are part of the local community(Tanzania) and run in close collaboration with other small businesses of food supply, specialized guides and accommodation ran by local villages. All the trip preparation was transparent and customized according with our expectations and needs (one of us suffered a neck injury shorty before the trip). We enjoy nature , trekking and dislike mass tourism and all of this was taken into account. Our route included a walking safari in Arusha national park, a trekking trough the rainforest and up to Mandara camp (I struggle with altitude even at 2.7 km, caution advised), Taranguire National Park land of Baobás and elephants and by far my favorite, Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and a couple of days in Zanzibar. Abu has a deep knowledge and total respect of the local wildlife, flora and the country, he drove us in complete safety and good spirits. We cannot recommend them more!

  Exceptional safari with Lon Way Expeditions  - We were connected to Long Way Expeditions through Responsible travel.
We chose this company as it is locally run by husband and wife team- Abu and Ann, reviews of... Read more the company were amazing and the itinerary they sent us was exactly what we had in mind.
Ann answered all our mails promptly and booked all our accommodation. She came to the airport with Abu to meet and brief us and met us again at the end of our safari so we could give her feedback.
Abu was our driver/guide. He was fantastic. We felt we were in good hands all the time. He is a lovely person who was a pleasure to spend time with. He is very knowledgeable about animals and flora and local tribal customs. We learnt a great deal from him. He is a very safe and skillful driver who is respectful of the animals and environment generally as well as of other drivers. He often went on less travelled paths for a better experience He understood from which angle our photos would be better. He was as excited by the sightings as we were. Abu and Ann speak very good English.
We highly recommend this company.

  Just awesome! - We've just returned from a trip of a lifetime.
And we cannot praise Ann and her team enough. From first making contact with 'Long Ways Expeditions' to the last... Read more day nothing was too much for the team and we felt well supported and looked after.
We had the most wonderful time, it was unbelievable how our driver, 'eagle eyed' Abraham spotted the animals. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the birds and wildlife. We came so very close to elephants, lions, baboons and giraffes, to name just a few. We even saw a leopard feeding on a carcass in a tree.
All the lodges we stayed in (locally owned) were absolutely fantastic and so was the food.
We can highly recommend the company. Anybody wanting to have a truly wonderful experience in Tanzania should contact 'Long Way Expeditions' and they will ensure you have a great experience. Ann came to see us on the last day to get our feedback. Nothing was too much for her.

  Trip of a lifetime  - This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We found Long Way Expeditions through Responsible Travel and their attention to supporting the community and sustainable practices was much appreciated... Read more and apparent in day to day practices as well as the lodges and companies they support. Ann was responsive and accommodating throughout the booking process. In addition to our custom safari itinerary, she was able to set up our logistics for segments of our trip far across the country, including a beach stay in Zanzibar. From the minute Abu met us at the airport in Arusha, we knew we were in good hands. Abu's ability to see animals while navigating rutted and narrow roads was incredible. His deep familiarity of the area and the flora and fauna that inhabit it was shared and made the experience more meaningful and impactful. We traveled in Africa for our honeymoon and Ann made sure each hotel knew we were celebrating a special occasion. I cannot say enough good things about this company. If you value supporting locally owned companies, eco-friendly travel, and a unique, specialized experience, Long Way Expeditions is for you. You will not be disappointed.

  Awesome Safari Company!  - I recently went on a 6-day safari with Long Way Expeditions. We visited 3 different National Parks and I’m happy to say that I did get awesome pictures of “The... Read more Big Five” animals during my safari. I can’t say enough good things about Ann and Abu, the owners of Long Way. I received excellent, personalized service while booking the trip as well as upon my arrival to Africa and throughout the safari itself. Abu is very knowledgeable about the animals, the parks we visited, and he has an eagle eye for spotting wildlife that I could hardly believe. On a few occasions, it took some effort for me to find an animal through my zoom lens that Abu spotted with the naked eye as we were driving! Although the parks are navigated mostly via dirt tire ruts all over the place, Abu never hesitated on making a turn or ever consulted a map. He has many years of experience travelling through the parks. The day before my safari, Ann personally came to see me at my hotel, and we sat together as she explained what to expect and how the safari would work. Ann and Abu were both very responsive to texts and emails whenever I needed information. There are larger safari companies out there, but I’d highly recommend this family run business that gives a more personal approach any day. Highly recommended, they are truly a 10/10 safari company. I couldn’t say “Asante Sana” enough for their work.
