Very good safari but some logistics issues
3/5

I joined a 4-day group safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. It was followed by a private day trip to visit the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes.

All in all, a good company, but it could be more organized and transparent. It is not an issue for most travelers, but I expected game drives from the camps in Serengeti and Ngorongoro to start before sunrise to see the most animal activity and have the most beautiful light for photography. Before the safari, I specifically inquired with the company about the game drives starting at sunrise, and they said yes, they would start at sunrise. I know it is often not done by most companies, but when I get a reply that it will start at sunrise, I expect that to happen—otherwise, I would have chosen a different company.

The main issue was that the car had clients from several different companies, and people had 2-3 different accommodations. Therefore, it took time to drop off and pick up everyone.

The start from Serengeti was supposed to be at sunrise but was 2 hours later at 08:30. Departure from the campsite in Ngorongoro was at 7:30, arriving in the crater at 8:15, which is almost 2 hours after sunrise. Staying at that campsite was advertised as an opportunity to "start with the first light" to see the most active wildlife.
On day 4, we departed the hotel at 9 instead of 8, then waited 30 minutes for other clients, arriving in Tarangire at midday, which is the worst time to be there.

We had 7 people instead of 6 as advertised in the tour documentation.

Positives:
Very good driver-guide, Simba, knowledgeable about wildlife and their behavior. We were lucky to have very good wildlife spotting on the first day in Serengeti, seeing all of the Big Five in one day. Car was good, accommodations were good, and food was good. The national parks visited are world-class, with incredible opportunities for animal spotting and photography.

So if you want to optimize your schedule, pick a private safari or a bigger company that has everyone in the same accommodation. Maybe starting early does not matter to you—in such a case, there is no problem recommending Ngekewa.

Excellent driver for our tour
4/5

I booked the 5 day safari for me and my mum.
We chose to pay for the medium range. Everything was excellent. Our driver Jackson was patient and informative. He did his best to make sure we got the best views of the animals

The food and accomodation during the safari was excellent. Very clean and tidy with amazing staff. We had a pool at one of the lodges which my mum enjoyed. The luxury tents lived up to the name luxury.

The review is 4 stars not 5 stars because:
We asked the operate to book accomodation for before and after the safari and this was a let down. It did not meet the expectations ( dirty bathrooms with unpleasant odour)
Secondly there were 4 of us to start in the car but we were all at different accomodation. This meant we spent about 1-2 hours just driving to the accomodation to pick up other people at the start of the day as well at the end of the day when everyone has to be dropped off. We felt this could have been planned better

Overall it was a great trip. I would highly recommend this

Perfect safari, above expectations
5/5

I chose Ngekewa because I was immediately struck by the speed of response that others did not have and so bye. I changed the 5-day safari because I wanted to do one more in the Serengeti and never was a happier decision. The Serengeti is simply extraordinary, there was a multitude of wildebeest still in migration. Elephants, buffalo, hippos, many hyenas, one intent on eating with us very close, but what is incredible is the high number of lions. Already done safaris in Africa, but never seen so many. Our guide, Burton, perfect always put himself in the best position for photos. Priceless. Food no lunch box in the box with sandwiches or pre-prepared doses but thermal bag, plates, cutlery etc and containers with rice, meat dish, vegetable and fruit dish. I add tablecloth. Top service. Beautiful lodges, the tented camp in the Serengeti with 2 large beds, colonial furniture and private bathroom. The lions kept us company during the two nights we spent there. Exciting.
