Fantastic beginning to end
Mary was a superstar beginning to end! She listened to what we wanted from our trip and organized it without fault, including coming to meet us at the end to make sure everything had gone smoothly.
Mary responded within a matter of hours to emails and explained everything which meant the trip went really well.
The best thing to do is have a think about what you want from your trip and communicate that to Mary and she will be able to build a schedule that suits you.

Brilliant
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is a jewel of the African wilderness, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and the legendary Great Migration. My recent safari experience in the Serengeti was nothing short of spectacular, especially in terms of spotting the "Big 5"—lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants, and buffaloes.
### Arrival and First Impressions
Upon arriving at the Serengeti, the vastness of the savannah was awe-inspiring. The golden grasslands stretched endlessly, dotted with acacia trees and the occasional kopje (rocky outcrop) that provided stunning views of the surroundings. The air was filled with the sounds of wildlife, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable adventure.
### The Big 5 Experience
1. **Lions**: Our first sighting was a pride of lions lounging under a shady tree. Watching these majestic animals interact was surreal. The cubs played while the adults kept a watchful eye on their surroundings. The guide shared fascinating insights into their behavior and social structure.
2. **Leopards**: Spotting a leopard in the wild can be challenging, but our guide’s sharp eyes led us to one resting on a tree branch, draped elegantly over a thick limb. Its spotted coat blended perfectly with the dappled sunlight, a moment to cherish.
3. **Rhinoceroses**: Although rhinos are not as commonly seen in the Serengeti compared to other parks, we were fortunate to encounter a few in the Ngorongoro Crater area, which is adjacent to the Serengeti.
4. **Elephants**: The herds of elephants were a highlight of our safari. We observed them interacting as family units, playing and protecting their young. Witnessing these intelligent animals in their natural habitat was something I will never forget.
5. **Buffaloes**: Large herds of African buffalo were often seen grazing across the plains, their massive horns and formidable presence making them an impressive sight. Our guide explained their social structures and the vital role they play in the ecosystem.
### Other Wildlife Encounters
In addition to the Big 5, the Serengeti is home to an incredible variety of wildlife. We encountered giraffes, zebras, hippos, and numerous species of birds. The sheer abundance of life made each game drive an exhilarating adventure. One evening, we witnessed a breathtaking sunset over the savannah, with silhouettes of wildlife against a vibrant orange sky.
### Conclusion
My safari in the Serengeti was a remarkable experience that exceeded all expectations. The opportunity to see the Big 5 in their natural habitat, combined with the stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity, made this trip one for the books. I left feeling a deeper appreciation for wildlife conservation and the beauty of our planet. Whether you're a seasoned safari-goer or a first-timer, the Serengeti offers an authentic, magical experience that is not to be missed, at a price that can’t be beaten anywhere.

supported, helpful and friendly
I was very satisfied. The food and the organization were perfect.
The guide did his best to show the animals without stressing them, chasing them or putting them under pressure. He made a very good job.
I would deduct one point for the information provided before booking.
We asked if there was a fence around the campsite. The answer was yes.
However, there was no fence around any of the campsites.
Otherwise everything worked very well. The guide ensured safety.

Very reliable agency and great experience
I just finished our first Safari, and it went great. We had communication with the agency every time we need via whatsapp, they advise us very well for the tour and the activities, the food was good and the guides very kind and reliables.
They put in the price also the internal flights we needed for transfer, so great organization and good quality of service.
Personally, I would reccomend.

A great experience for our first Safari
My wife and I were looking for a company to do our first Safari tour in Tanzania, and we casually came across this agency. We decided to trust them after a call with Mary, who was so kind and precise to answer to every question we made (and we made a lot).
We did five days, one in Tarangire, two in Serengeti, one in Ngorongoro crater, and one at the foothills of Kilimangiaro. It was an incredibile experience, everything went according to the program and Mary was available at any time during the Safari for any other question or necessity.
The food was good and aboundant, the guides were really well prepared and the price we paid is really honest for what we did.
10/10 for this experience, absolutely reccommend!
