Hakuna Matata
We booked our tour several months prior to visiting Africa, upon enquiry we received some information about the Budget 4 day Safari. We went ahead and booked the tour, however received no receipt or confirmation of our payment.
The lack of information provided leading up to the tour was not good, we sent a couple of emails leading up to the trip asking questions for assurance and although they were responsive, we weren’t given any information except “Hakuna Matata”
As two young females going to a foreign country feeling unsafe this lack of assurance made us feel even more uncertain and unsafe.
Upon arrival to our hotel we were told due to the company being small we were joining a different company's Safari, which made no sense to us and we didn’t understand.
The other company was nothing short of amazing, we had a great time.
Thanks for booking our Safari Emanuel, Hakuna Matata.

Amazing experience
We had the 3-day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and everything was arranged without a problem. The communication was perfect since the beginning, as well as the explanation on how the safari was going to be. The safari itself was amazing, from the route to the food, and we got the chance to see the Big Five. Stunning views and great pictures guaranteed :)

Highly Professional
September 15-19, 2024. Five day, mid-range safari plus optional Serengeti balloon ride.
What an awesome experience. Definitely a 5 star adventure!
Emanuel from Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris worked with my schedule and ensured everything went smoothly. From airport pickup and drop off to amazing game drives through 4 parks. Our driver guide was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We saw tons of animals! The lodges and daily meals, including a picnic lunch each day, were outstanding. I was in good hands. Hakuna matata! No worries!
Asante sana Emanuel for giving me the experience of a lifetime!

They provided us wonderful safari experience. We satisfied with their service and hospitality.
The tour was very nice. They keep time. And the driver tried to find various animals. We saw Big Five except rhino. That satisfied us very much. Also, the chef cooked nice foods. The amount of foods was suitable, and the taste was nice. He served food punctually.
They provided us wonderful experience. I will recommend this tour company to my friends.

The most amazing experience!
We had the 5 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & lake manyara. It was truly amazing! First of all, the communication with Emanuel prior the safari was good and he replied fast. We had 2 drivers, Samuel and Charles who were really friendly and when asked, could tell a lot about the parks and animals. The car was comfortable with soft seats, an fridge and a charger.
We stayed at lodges and a tented camp booked by Emanuel and we wouldn’t change a thing to the safari! We 100% recommend to do your safari with Crater Explorer!

Amazing staff and very accommodating! Totally exceeded expectations for the price!!!
Our chef (Emmanuel) and tour guide (Samuel) were awesome. Food was superb (AMAZING veggie options) and they both really made us feel like we were part of a family. The director of the company also was in great communication with us which allowed us to feel very confident about the tour. Of course the parks itself are amazing so there's little chance that you would not have a good time. Highly recommend booking with this company especially if you are on a budget!

Emanuel curated my trip of a lifetime!!
I loved my 5 day Safari with Crater Explorer! I traveled solo and was added with other people to form a group. I had the BEST groups and drivers!!
Emanuel, the owner, was easy to work with and went above and beyond in customer care. He wants everyone to have the best experience and it was evident in his prior communication and personal interactions face to face. Plus, the curating of an exciting adventure.
This adventure was nothing short of extraordinary. My journey took me through Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti National Park (for two days), the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, each offering a unique and awe-inspiring experience.
Tarangire was a favorite because it was the first wild animals I saw and they took my breath away. I was so moved I got teary-eyed.
The Serengeti is massive in size! Extremely bumpy with washboard roads and bumps...kinda fun and numbing! Lol. The diversity of animals was exciting to see! The TV program, "Wild Kingdom" was coming to life! I saw hippos and crocodiles here where I hadn't yet seen yet.
The Ngorongoro Crater was another highlight of my trip. The crater’s breathtaking views and the rich wildlife within its walls made it feel like I had stepped into a natural paradise. I saw an abundance of wildebeests and zebras numbering in the thousands!! The crater’s unique ecosystem is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.
My safari concluded at Lake Manyara, which offered a completely different environment. The lush greenery and the tranquil lake provided a perfect backdrop for birdwatching. Home to 400 elephants made it an intimate experience.
Throughout my journey, the accommodations were comfortable and exceeded my expectations. Each lodge and camp was well-appointed, offering a blend of luxury and authenticity. The service was top-notch, with staff members who were not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and local culture. Their passion and enthusiasm added a special touch to my experience.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left me with unforgettable memories. The combination of diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and exceptional service made it an adventure I'll cherish forever. I highly recommend this safari to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and wonders of Tanzania.
Thank you, Crater Explorer!!
