New Years on the Serengeti
Amazing 10 day safari with the family covering Serengeti, Ngorngoro and Kilimanjaro with beautiful overnight stops at plantation houses and guest lodges. Highlights were a dawn hot air balloon game safari, lion kill at dusk and driving down into Ngorongoro. We capped it off with a hike on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro to a stunning waterfall and enjoyed a coffee lesson on the way out. Mr Loren is an excellent host. There are some long drives and hot days, but he kept the 4x4 clean and stocked with ice cold drinks. Lunch in the open catered by local micro business owners was a big hit with the kids. We also had a half day local village tour learning about local industry, all the types of bananas and how they are used for cooking, making beer etc. We visited local artist studios and learned about the history and culture displayed in the art. Mr Loren arranged everything perfectly, from airport pickup to excellent accommodation, really interesting education on the game drives, meeting some Masai locals and learning about the history of Tanzania. Epic trip with so many magic memories. Couldn't recommend Loren African Safaris more highly. Asante Mr Loren.

Saw the BIG 5
Loren African Safaris thought of every detail to make our trip amazing. Our guide Gela was incredible. His years of experience made our trip memorable. He knew all the "spots" and was relentless in making sure we saw everything. He knew the special spots for spotting the Big 5, sunrise photos over the Serengeti and special photo spots in the early morning hours with hot-air balloons as a backdrop. Our chef was fantastic! Even with all of our dietary restrictions each meal was crafted to perfection. We had constant contact over 10 months of planning with Benjamin and he made sure every detail was taken care of. I highly recommend Loren African Safaris and especially Gela.

Amazing experience with Loren African safaris
If anyone is visiting Tanzania, one should definitely go with Loren African Safaris. We had a 4 day tour with them for Serengiti and Ngorongoro crater and they knew exactly what we wanted. They not only customized our package as per our needs but also rescheduled it because of a change in our flight schedule. Their services are outstanding, prompt and reliable. Thank you Mr loren for making our visit a worth! Highly recommended!

We had the greatest experience
We are just back after four days of safari and we are really happy. We saw a lot of animals and got memories for life. We are really happy with our great and very kind guide and driver Patience who did everything so we would feel comfortable and happy. We could not have had a better guide than him. He drove very good and safe and told us a lot about the animals. The safari lodges were very good and we had really good food all these days. We had warm food for lunch and not just a lunch package. One of us is allergic to gluten and the company really took this seriously and delivered good food that felt safe to eat. The owner of the company always replied very quick on What’s App both before and during the safari and really cared about that we would have the best experience. I would really recommend this company to anyone wishing to go on safari in Tanzania.
Asante sana!

Outstanding experience!
It was amazing experience, 3 days of safari experience is now a lifetime memory.
The tour guides (Emmanuel and William) were brilliant and very caring.
The last day tour guides (forgot the names) were also amazing.
It's a shame that after outstanding experience in St Eilin's Trees Inn Hotel, had to stay in a substandard hotel (Tulia Boutique Hotel) in Arusha (last day) where the rooms looked not cleaned. Due to this I was unable to give 5 Star. I suggest Loren African Safaris not to compromise on quality for little savings which will damage your image.

A fabulous tour which has us itching to return.
We researched a number of tour operators when booking our private safari tour + holiday to Zanzibar. And got several quotes. We had never heard of Loren, but their pricing was attractive and they are clearly listed on the Tanzanian government's website of licensed tour operators.
We paid a deposit by transfer using a website called PesaPal, with the remainder given in cash (USD) on arrival. From then on our accommodation, all transfers and internal flight was covered. Our guide stayed with us for the length of the tour and was a huge help in getting us where we needed to go, identifying species and keeping us very well fed.
Following an unforgettable safari, we spent a few days in Zanzibar in lovely surroundings and accommodation.
I'd recommend this company to anyone considering a Tanzanian holiday; your money will stay in Tanzania and not be sent off to some international tour operator, and the team will make sure that you are very well looked after. We already want to book a return holiday in future, and will be looking at Loren again when we do.

14-day tour (hiking + safari) with Loren African Safari
We had a 14-day tour (hiking + safari) with Loren African Safari and were really impressed with the guide Benjamin. He had a good sense of what we really wanted and organised everything for us. At the beginning we were a bit hesitant because there weren't that many reviews yet. But he was able to defuse this wonderfully by finding a reference with whom we could find out about his trip with Loren African Safari. He is a careful driver and doesn't speed. He has very keen eyes on safari and knows the flora and fauna inside out. He was always very quick to respond to questions or requests before and during the trip. And also important for us: many companies look as if they come from Tanzania, but in the end they belong to foreigners. Loren African Safari is 100% Tanzanian!
Jana & Matthias from Switzerland can definitely recommend it!
Hakuna Matata & Piece and Love :-)
