Budget
4/5

Serengeti African Tours Provided a budget 5 day camping safari that allowed my husband, our son, and me the opportunity to go on a safari together. Because of this option, we could afford for all three of us to go on safari, and we probably could not have been able to otherwise. If you choose this option, though, you must understand that you are on the budget tour. The food was just OK with the meals being pretty basic and the same each day, and we were served after other more expensive tours so often did not eat until 9 or so at night. The sleeping mats and sleeping bags are also pretty basic, so understand that, in Ngorogoro crater, it does get cold and you definitely will need to sleep in a warm coat to be warm enough. Also, to hit the 5 parks listed on the tour, it is a very vigorous schedule, and there is a lot of traveling over dusty and bumpy roads that are not very well maintained, so be prepared for this. My husband has a back problem, and we were not forewarned about the condition of the roads getting to the parks and within the parks. Be prepared for that, and if you have any health issues, definitely do not take this budget tour. Take a more expensive and leisurely tour that perhaps only includes the Serengeti and Ngorogoro with a more leisurely schedule and sleeping in a lodge for accommodation. I say all this only because we weren't ready for the intense pace and poor conditions of the roads and probably would have spent more and not done the budget camping tour. For young, healthy people who are used to roughing it and camping, it is fine, and it is affordable compared to other options. All that said and regardless of these challenges, my son and I had a wonderful time and awesome safari, and my husband only didn't so much because of his age and bad back. We all really liked our driver and guide, Bulldozer, who is very knowledgeable about the animals, the plants, the Masai people, the ecology of the area, and so many things. He now feels more like a Rafiki than just our tour guide. Truly exceptional! He tailors what he focuses on in the safari to what those in his group are most interested in and tries very hard to ensure that everyone has a good safari. Because of this and his many years of experience as a guide, we were able to see some truly amazing animals and their behaviors. For example, we ate our lunch on the last day next to two herds of elephants wallowing and bathing in the stream right next to us! Just jaw dropping and magical! We watched two lionesses fighting over a piece of zebra kill while their nine cubs chirped for food in the background! Again, jawdropping and amazing! Elephants walked right past our jeep! I could have touched them. Incredible! So, in short, we had an overall wonderful safari experience, and I recommend this company highly for the attention and care they give you. I would've liked to see better and more sanitary food storage in truly cold and working coolers (which is why I avoided the meat throughout the safari), but otherwise this company is great. Invioleta was super attentive, helpful,
and responsive throughout the booking and entire process and journey, and Bulldozer was an exceptional guide. I felt very cared for by both of them, and they went out of their way to provide an excellent safari. We will definitely book with them again. My son is young and healthy enough to do the budget one again. My husband and I will do a more upscale and leisurely one that accommodates our ages and health issues better. Thanks for all the magical animal encounters we had. We have some great memories now that we will cherish forever!

An excellent safari experience
5/5

A great safari experience with Serengeti African Tours! Special thanks to our guide David who remained with a cheerful and positive attitude throughout the full six days. Safaris typically go to Serengeti and Ngorongoro only, but we went to Lake Manyara and Tarangire as well for a reasonable price, so we got great value for our money. We would definitely recommend this local company!

Safina, Godfrey and Kelvin : the big three!
5/5

We went in Tanzania for the first time , my family and me, and had the best travel ever. Safina ,organizing our safari, was very kind always and responsive at all my thousands of question. She tried to understand all my necessities about what to see and about my budget too. And at the end everything was really perfect.
Godfrey is our guide during the safari : he provides all the informations about animals and plants too. And we could have some interesting conversation about Tanzania's way of life and traditions. We appreciated so much to be with him.
Kelvin was our guide at Materuni falls; he was patient with two of us being slow walkers. He showed us plants and a lot of Chameleons. Amazing.
If you never went to Tanzania, hurry up because it is unforgettable! It changes your mind.
And do it with Serengeti African tours , a local and amazing tour operator.
Hope to see you again guys! Take care of you.

Amazing Experience in Tanzania
5/5

Our experience in Tanzania with Serengeti African Tours was one of the best of our life! The Safari Tour was well organized, the lodges were beautiful and the services offered were amazing. Our guide Godfrey was the highlight of our tour. He was kind, funny and very qualified. He’s an expert guide who knows very well the parks and the history of his country. Thanks to his knowledge we were able to learn a lot of the animals and the places we explored. Also we had the fortune to admire all the big five because of his incredible knowledge. He was available for any kind of request and he was super helpful with everything! He made our tour unforgettable! If you’re reading, thanks again man! If you’re looking for a tour of Tanzania, Serengeti African Tour is what you need!

Amazing 3days Safari Trip
5/5

My safari experience in Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area was absolutely unforgettable. The breathtaking landscapes and incredible variety of wildlife were beyond anything I could have imagined. We were fortunate enough to witness the Big Five, as well as many other animals in their natural habitat, which made the trip even more special.

In addition to the amazing wildlife, the accommodations and food were exceptional. The meals were not only delicious but also exceeded my expectations for a safari. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and we were able to enjoy local flavors, which added to the overall experience.

I highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an adventure combined with comfort and great cuisine. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Wow just amazing!!

Our itinerary
ZNZ > ARUSHA> Serengeti/Drove from
Serengeti to The Crater/ Drove from the Crater to Arusha and flew back to ZNZ

Serengeti African Tours was more than just safari. Not only did we see all the big five but we saw all of the wonderful big cats in the park including a pile of cheetah brothers! Long story short, best company in the game.

My husband booked it for our honeymoon. Serafina was the nicest and most communicative contact for booking and travel arrangements. They allowed us to do 40% down and the rest upon arrival.

We flew into Arusha and then to Serengeti where the best and funniest guide Christian picked us up promptly with a hot lunch. They even put a special sign on the spare tire just for our honeymoon. We left the gate and immediately saw some game. One the first day Christian was able to locate four of the big five for us. He was so nice and informative. He made the long hours in the truck pass like minutes.

For dinner they took us to the Serena Lodge in Serengeti where we were greeted with superb service and comfort and more great food. The views were absolutely breathtaking.

We the embarked on day 2 with Christian ready to go bright and early to scope some more game and then head to Ngoro Ngroro Crater. Along the way Christian let us know about the environment and the beautiful local Maasai Tribe. We checked into the Serena lodge there and once again treated superbly. It’s cold so bring layers.

In the crater we saw the rhinos. We even got to see a mama and a calf. Christian made sure we didn’t miss them. He even offered to take our pictures and made sure we weren’t always behind the camera.

I knew they were the best at what they do, when Precision Air delayed one of flights and we were worried about our connecting flight out of Arusha. Immediately Serafina worked her magic and got us on an earlier flight to compensate for the delay. We truly felt like family.

I can’t wait to recommend them to all my friends and come back when my boys are old enough.
