A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience with Loren African Safaris
My wife and I recently returned from the most incredible private safari in Tanzania, expertly arranged and guided by Loren African Safaris. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, personalized, and deeply memorable — far exceeding our expectations.
Our journey took us through the stunning landscapes of Tarangire National Park, the vast Serengeti, the magical Ndutu region, and the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater. Each destination offered something unique, and thanks to our guide, Benjamin — who is also the owner of Loren African Safaris — we were able to enjoy every moment to the fullest.
From the very beginning, the communication with Loren African Safaris was excellent. Benjamin was responsive, informative, and accommodating in helping us craft an itinerary that matched exactly what we were looking for. Every question was answered thoroughly and promptly, which made planning smooth and stress-free.
Benjamin is not only a skilled and knowledgeable guide,... Read more but also incredibly passionate about wildlife and conservation. He made it his mission to ensure we saw the Big Five — and he delivered on that promise. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the time he gave us with each sighting. We were never rushed. Whether it was quietly observing a leopard after a hunt, watching a family of elephants interact, or marveling at lions at sunrise, Benjamin allowed us to be fully immersed in each moment, which made all the difference.
His ability to track animals, share fascinating facts, and read the landscape made our safari not just an adventure, but a rich learning experience. The level of service he provided was above and beyond — every detail was thoughtfully handled so we could simply relax and soak in the magic of the bush.
And when it comes to value for money, Loren African Safaris truly delivered a great deal. For the quality of guiding, the personalized service, the accommodations, and the unforgettable experiences we had, we feel we got incredible value out of every dollar spent.
If you are looking for a truly personalized, deeply enriching safari experience, we cannot recommend Loren African Safaris enough. Benjamin’s passion, expertise, and warm hospitality made this the trip of a lifetime.

Great safari organized by Benjamin and guided by Gillasius
Nous avons passé un super Safari organisé par Benjamin et avec Gillasius comme guide.
L’organisation était parfaite, très bon lodge dans le Serengeti au milieu des animaux, nous avions de vrais déjeuners à midi et non des sandwichs, c’était beaucoup plus convivial.
Et Gillas a tout fait pour que nous passions un super moment, il nous a permis d’observer et nous a fait participer à la recherche d’animaux, tout en restant complètement respectueux de la faune.
Je ne peux que recommander LorenSafari !

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.
