Great tour with professionals - management and guides were thoughtful, game drives excellent
The choice of trip was somewhat random, but I have never regretted choosing Crater Explorer. From the beginning there was close communication via WhatsApp with Emanuel, the owner. Everything could be discussed, supplemented and clarified beforehand. Very professional. The pick-up from the airport was unproblematic and punctual, as was the pick-up from the hotel. We were a very nice and harmonious group from three countries. Our guide Gordon is the best, very knowledgeable and interested in giving us information about animal life.
The first day in Tangarire started off well with cheetahs, lions, a leopard, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, baboons and much more.
After an impressive day, we spent the first night in a tent, but before that we had dinner that was prepared by the guides on site. Like the whole trip, it was very good and varied. There was also something for vegans in our group. The next day was the long drive to the Serengeti. The Ngorongoro Crater was hidden in the fog, but above the Serengeti there was blue sky and sun. Halfway through the Serengeti there was a breakdown, a shock absorber spring had broken. Our guide and driver Gordon then made a temporary repair with a branch, with the help of many other drivers, who all stopped and gave support. For a while we were the main attraction with the broken-down car. The temporary repair lasted until we reached the campsite, where we saw an impressive sunset and the sunrise was also very colourful. After fixing the branch again, the safari through the Serengeti went surprisingly smoothly with many animal sightings, as for example hippos, hyenas, of course lions and all the other . The lunch break at the picnic area was also in unique surroundings and with good food. The day in the Ngorongoro Crater actually brought the missing black rhinoceros, thus completing the big five. In the morning at the campsite up there we had a visit from an elephant, and a few giraffes stopped by at the Serengeti camp. With Lake Manyara and a short tour through Mto wa Mbu looking at the rice fields, the artists and the banana plants and tasting banana beer and banana wine we did a smooth final day of our tour. It was really a great experience.

producer of our excellent safari
We had a great 4 days on safari. The accommodation facilities turned out to be much better than we expected from a mid range tour. Every person was great. Starting from the nurse Emanuel and the guide driver, ending with the porters in the lodges. We booked a shared tour, there were only 4 tourists in the car and it was great! My recommendation - don't hesitate to ask Emanuel about the accommodations and parks if you're going for the first time - the information will be much more accurate than what is written on the Internet. Asante sana

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!
