EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Asha CVerified Safari Experience It was nice to be with Raphael Laizer, we had a great time not to forget under his assistant. He was extremely careful driver, we felt secure in his car all the way from the camp to Datoga and handzabe cultural experience. We wish to have such driver in other adventures.Posted on Tripadvisor Braedon UVerified An Unforgettable Experience with Raphael and Altaika Africa Safaris Our day with Raphael from Altaika Africa Safaris was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania. From the very beginning, Raphael treated my parents and me like family. He was warm, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing the heart of his culture with us. We toured a local village where he walked us through the homes, farmland, and daily life of the community. It was incredibly eye-opening and authentic—nothing felt staged or touristy. We had the chance to sample both banana beer and banana wine (which he very kindly gifted me two bottles of at the end of our tour). That thoughtful gesture really spoke to the kind of person Raphael is. Beyond the cultural immersion, what stood out most was the personal connection. Raphael made sure we felt welcome, comfortable, and appreciated throughout. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it’s clear he takes deep pride in both his work and his people. If you're looking for a genuine, enriching, and memorable experience in Tanzania, I couldn't recommend Raphael and Altaika Africa Safaris more. We’ll definitely be back someday. Asante sana, Raphael — and until next time!Posted on Tripadvisor Eva RVerified Amazing Safari Ich habe eine Safari Tour mit Altaika gemacht durch Serengeti, Ngorongoro und Lake Manyara. Es war unglaublich schönes Erlebnis! Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen und mein Guide Raphael war super freundlich, er ging auf alle wünsche ein und war sehr darauf bedacht, dass es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis wird. Würde jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit Altaika buchenPosted on Tripadvisor Danielle DVerified Adventure full of laughter, luxury, and lions! We had an amazing stress-free safari!! We were able to visit 5 parks from the help of altaika safari. All we had to do is wake up in the morning and everything was taken care of for us. Having experienced guides and drivers to help navigate our way to see the "big 5" through out the national parks and conservation areas such sergengetti and norogo crater was key! With a budget big or small they will find lodging to fit your needs!! Altakia safaris made us feel safe and very well taken care of supplying snacks and water from the moment we got off the airplane! Knowledgeable of where to go to buy items you might have forgotten or wouldnt fit in your suitcase!! l Would highly recommend this company for any small or big safari adventures!! Can't wait to go back!!
