A Bucket List Trip
5/5

We spent a lot of time researching tour companies for our safari adventure, as this was a bucket list experience that we wanted to get absolutely right. We are SO happy that we chose Ndutu Green! From the very beginning, they exceeded our expectations.

Tom was incredible in helping us plan our trip. He patiently answered all our questions via email and worked tirelessly to create an itinerary that was perfect for our honeymoon. He was also more than willing to adjust the itinerary to fit within our budget, which we greatly appreciated.

The 5-day safari adventure they crafted was nothing short of amazing. It included visits to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, and one of our biggest must-sees, the wildebeest crossing at the Mara River. We were so grateful for Tom’s attention to detail and responsiveness throughout the whole process.

When we arrived, Tom and our guide Samuel picked us up from the airport, and they’d even put a honeymoon tire on the back of the jeep, which was such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond by surprising my husband with a birthday cake one evening—such a special and memorable gesture.

Our guide Samuel was incredibly knowledgeable. His knowledge of the animals and the parks was impressive, and he always found the best spots for us to see the wildlife up close. The highlight was the Mara River crossing—Samuel’s patience and expertise really shone through. While other tours drove around endlessly, Samuel knew exactly where to be and when. His calm approach allowed us to have a front-row view of the incredible migration crossing.

The attention to detail and dedication to making our trip memorable was evident throughout our entire journey. If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience, look NO further than Ndutu Green!

Caring and professional experience
5/5

We took a chance and booked our 6 day 5 night safari with Ndutu Green Explorers. One of the reasons we chose this company was that they were not overly pushy with trying to sell us the package and were open to suggestions about changes. Tom was quick to reply to all my emails and even though it took us weeks to decide he was always patient with us and responded in a plesant manner. Everything was explained to us about our booking for the private 2 person safari. Communications was top notch and once where we had a mis understanding about some documentation this was quickly rectified and new quotes sent over listing all the required detail.

Our package included flights to and from Zanzibar and pick up from our accomodation went smoothly and the flights were comfortable and convenient. My friend is Italian and speaks English but not very well so we were offered an Italian speaking guide. This was invaluable to her having an enjoyable experience because the guide was able to explain things to her in Italian where I was not. The tour itself was good and I liked that it included some alcoholic drinks and snacks in the vehicle as part of the package. This reduced our overall cost as we didn't have to worry about stopping to buy expensive snacks and drinks from shops during the trip. We travelled because of my friend's birthday. Tom arranged to have a cake brought out to her on one of the dinners and she received a traditional singing and dancing routine from the staff at that accomodation when they brought out the cake.

We had a mix of accomodation of varying levels of comfort but the vehicle was very comfortable the entire journey. As there was only 2 of us we had loads of space to move around. We had hot meals for every lunch and my friend said it was the best chicken she's ever had. I'm vegetarian and the meals weren't the best for me but there was something that I could have. I ended up towards the end taking makeshift sandwiches from the breakfast spread to have for my lunches which was fine. We were able to tailor the drives a bit and the driver focused on trying to find animals that we were most interested in seeing. We got to see all of the big 5 which I felt extremely lucky as I've been on safari before and didn't manage to spot a leopard on that occasion.

Payment was extremely easy and I liked that we were able to pay via credit card, though at an additional cost, before we arrived as that eliminated the concerns of travelling with a lot of cash. I highly recommend using this company for your safari needs.

Omi was a very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide.
5/5

From first contact months before the safari, to the day we met and started the safari, everything was communicated very clearly and everything was as discussed. Tom was very helpful with organising everything before hand and while we were there. Omi our tour guide was exceptional and went above and beyond everyday to make our safari experience a very memorable one. I would 100% recommend Ndutu tours to anyone wanting to do a safari.

We had a great seven day safari with our guide Ommy. He showed great respect and understanding of the wildlife. Beeing able to predict the animals behaviour, we were given unique observations that many others missed out because of impations. We had alwasy a good accomodation and our guide took care of any needs during the safari.

A dream came true!
5/5

After comparing various different tour-operators we decided for Ndutu Green Explorers. A big part of that was the very good Communication with Tom, who helped us to plan every little detail of our safari! Tom was always kind, answered very quickly and it was never a problem to change or adjust something! Every single accomondation Tom booked for us was awesome. Always kind people, very good food and clean rooms!
Furthermore, our guide Ombeni did an excellence job! He provided so much knowledge about every national park and animal! You could really tell that he cares about the animals. There he never speeded towards animals (unlike other guides) and always gave them the freedom to decide how close they want to get…. which in the end brougth us some very close and special encounters! This really was the Safari of our dreams! Thank you so much Tom and Ombeni!

Ommy is the absolute BEST, with incredible knowledge. He made our experience a dream come true!
5/5

We were a group of four and did four nights and five full days. They coordinated picking us up from our flight the night before, and Ombeni (Ommy) greeted us with arms open and big smiles and excitement.
We very easily could’ve done a week plus.
We traveling through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater, and it was a life changing dream come true experience!
Tom was excellent working with in pretrip planning and really listened to the places we wanted to visit, and where we wanted to stay for our overnights.
If there is anything you do in this world once, go on a safari, and BOOK WITH NDUTU and request Ombeni as your guide!

Perfect time in Tansania
5/5

From the huge range of providers, we chose Ndutu and have no regrets. Communication with Tom was quick, friendly and reliable. The selected lodges met our expectations, the food was always sufficient and good. The route (5 days) gave a great insight into 4 national parks - all different and beautiful; but the Serengeti remains undisputed number 1 for me! Our driver Manuel (Manu) was a perfect driver and a great guide. With patience and skill, he always got us into good positions for the animals. In addition to information about the animal world, it was a pleasure to talk to him about family, life and Tanzania. Our jeep was quite old - but and much more importantly: it took us through the savannah without a breakdown and was a reliable mobile home. Thank you for the great time!

An unforgettable Safari experience
5/5

We booked a safari of 4 days, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti parks. It was an amazing experience, and we had the possibility to plan the tour based on our needs and budget. We stayed one night in the Omega lodge and two nights at Osotua tented camp, both well equipped. Of course, as it’s a safari in the middle of the savana, it’s important to have a bit of flexibility and adaptation, but everything went well. A special thanks to Tom who created our plan and to our private guide Omary, who was the perfect travel buddy. I highly recommend a tour with them!
