Poor communication
This was my first safari as a solo traveler. This review is of the safari company, not the safari! I opted for a 5day group safari. I chose Everlasting as they seemed to communicate well prior to me committing to go with them! I did obtain 3 quotes and they were all comparable in price and itinerary. What I learned during the safari was that smaller tour companies ( Everlasting) don't exactly have your safari "well planned" ( it was described to me this way). This means that if you have a group tour for various locations and a different level ( budget vs. midrange), it is likely that you will have different drivers. They confer with each other the night before to see who is available. This is what happened to me. Not only was I dropped off at the wrong lodge, but, if I had not reviewed my itinerary, I would not have been sent to rhe correct lodge ( much nicer and what I paid for). I had 3 different guides on a 5 day safari. And, honestly, the problem is that Everlasting never bothered to inform me that someone not belonging to their company would be picking me up or that guides would change! One morning, they sent a driver who spoke no English or sign indicating he was there for me. I was then told by Everlasting that I would be driven to another lodge to meet with another guide. I was, in fact, driven to the park to meet with the guide. Just poor communication!!
Also, because I had midrange accommodations, I was 45 min away from the budget travelers. This meant, I had to get up before sunrise to travel and pick them up to begin game drive and was the last one to reach my accommodation at days end!
I did not allow this to ruin my safari as I had wonderful guides ( not belonging to Everlasting) that I felt very safe with. Unfortunately, they offered no apologies or explanation, and for that reason, I would not choose this company again.
It was still an experience of a lifetime!!

Amazing
Me and my friend were on a 3 day safari from Zanzibar. it was the most amazing trip where everything was planned to perfection.
if you had any questions, they answered immediately via whatsapp and were ready to help with anything.
we enjoyed it all a lot, but especially the beautiful wildlife on the savanna, where we were lucky enough to see The Big Five. we had a very good game driver who was very professional and did his best to ensure that you were allowed to see all the different animals. he was a very skilled chauffeur who drove very close to the wild animals.

Amazing
Godlisten was an absolute gem during our stay in Arusha! From the moment he picked us up to our final departure to Nairobi, he was always punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive. He anticipated our needs, had the best guides lined up, and ensured everything ran seamlessly.
Beyond his reliability, Godlisten brought warmth and joy to our journey—he’s a fantastic listener, an excellent photographer, and made every moment feel special. Thanks to him, our trip wasn’t just great—it was unforgettable, a 200% experience!
If you're traveling in Tanzania or Arusha, I wholeheartedly recommend Everlasting Adventures. With Godlisten at the wheel, you’re guaranteed an extraordinary trip!

Friendly and service minded
We came in touch with Everlasting Adventures and Godlisten a couple of months prior to our vacation in Tanzania. We exchanged some chats with Godlisten who was very friendly and helped us by showing us different alternatives of tours for the safari. Eventuelly we ended up going for the midrange safari with 3 nice lodges at a total price of around 2 500 dollars for me and my wife.
We had very nice help of Godlisten the weeks prior to the safari and he helped us with buying plane tickets to go from Zanzibar to Arusha, and he was there himself to meet up with us on the morning of our first day of the safari.
We could pay the rest of the trip (90% as 10% had been paid in a deposit ahead of the trip) and we were driven to our guide for the safari, Bulldozer, from Dancing Simba Safaris.
We were told we would be max 6 ppl in the jeep, but we were actually 7 meeting up 3 americans and 2 australians. This didn't do too much for us as they were all very friendly and we got along well.
We opted for a 3 nights & 4 days safari and we started off with Tarangire National Park and continued with 2 days in Serengeti before finishing in Ngorongoro. Bulldozer was a very funny and social guy who valued respect among us safari goers, and keeping the joy and happiness flowing throughout the safari.
I do have to say there's a lot of riding in the car over the course of the safari, we spent about 8-10 hours in the jeeps every day. But surprisingly, time flies by quick and you have so much to chat about and so much to see.
Before going in on the constructive feedback I'd like to point out we had a super nice safari while in the parks and could really enjoy seeing the big 5 and lots of big cats. My feeling was though, given my brief experience, that we were more lucky to stumble upon other cars who had spotted exciting animals, rather than us finding them ourselves. Unfortunately, Bulldozer's walkie talkie was broken and therefore no communication was held between the guides as to where you could see the animals in the parks. Despite this, we managed to see A LOT and even the big 5!
The only negative aspect is that it's not really value for money going on a mid range safari if your fellow jeep comrades are on a budget safari, with less nice lodges and tents. Me and my wife felt we were always prioritized last, and we always dropped the tent guys first at their lodge or tent camp. Then we were driven to our lodges and for the 3 nights we arrived at: 6.30 pm, 7.45 pm and 5 pm. It was only on the last night we could actually enjoy the fancy lodge we had paid so much for to enjoy. For the first two nights, we arrived after sunset and all we did was to have dinner and go to bed. We then had to wake up first and were driven to the others lodge/tent where we had to wait patiently for the others to finish up their packing and morning routines. Ideally, we would have liked to be picked up last or driven to the others when they were ready.
We compared pricing and apparently we paid 100% more than what the others had done, just for getting nicer lodges that we couldn't really use since we arrived so late each day.
Therefore, I highly recommend booking your safari with Bulldozer, Godlisten and Everlasting Adventures/Dancing Simba, but I do recommend you to only book the budget safari as you will not get value for money with the midrange safari.
Out of the lodges we stayed at, we liked Ngorongoro Marera View the best, followed by Ang'ata and lastly Safari Haven. They were all very nice and I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the lodges and the luxury we paid for.

"If it is wildlife, then one must visit Serengeti and Ngorongoro"
I did a 4 day, 3 night safari in Tanzania covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national park. Safari booking enabled me to start looking for tour operators, after going through for a while, I got my safari booked with Everlasting adventures. The communication with them was professional and friendly. All my queries were answered very patiently. Coming back to safari itself, it was wonderful getting a glimpse of Africa's top 5, to encounter them up close in the open wild was the best experience I had. Serengeti's vast open Savannah, Ngorongoro Conservation area was beautiful. The parks are well maintained, considering wild life habitat and their ecosystem. A big thanks for the driver and cook considering my dietery requirements being vegan.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience in Tanzania
I had the incredible opportunity to embark on a five-day safari tour covering Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Natron. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience—one that I know will come to my mind in my final moments. As I watched the sun set over the horizon, I couldn't help but think, this is one of those memories I will cherish forever.
From the very beginning, the staff provided exceptional support in organizing the tour. They patiently answered all our questions, even checking in advance whether our accommodations had hair dryers, which helped us reduce our luggage. Thanks to their thorough planning and thoughtful assistance, we had an absolutely satisfying trip without any concerns.
Incredible Wildlife Encounters
We were fortunate enough to witness all of the "Big Five" up close. The leopard, in particular, had an astonishingly elegant physique. One of the most breathtaking moments was seeing a vast herd of zebras stretching across the endless plains—and realizing that they were curiously watching us as well! Observing giraffes and elephants, which often appear somewhat idle in zoos, living vibrantly in their natural habitat was truly moving. It made me feel deeply connected to the living beings on this planet, and I was overwhelmed with emotion.
Exceptional Guides and Staff
Our two guides were always kind, respectful, and highly professional. They shared their deep knowledge of wildlife, nature, and local culture, making the experience even more enriching. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Kibena and the entire team at Everlasting Africa for their warm hospitality. Their communication via WhatsApp before the trip reassured us, making us feel completely at ease.
Accommodation & Food
As a Japanese traveler, I consider myself quite particular about food, but every meal exceeded my expectations! The dishes were often slow-cooked, offering a perfect balance of meat and vegetables, with flavors that suited the Japanese palate well. One of the highlights was enjoying a meal (and a beer!) while gazing out at the breathtaking scenery from the hood of our safari vehicle—an experience that can only be had here.
Improvements & Tips
Honestly, I have no complaints or suggestions for improvement. Everything was perfect.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It was a journey filled with awe, wonder, and unforgettable moments.
For Japanese traveler:
私たちは複数の会社を事前検討しましたが、最初から一番対応の良い会社さんでした。あまり英語ができない日本人であっても、親切に意図を汲んでくださるので、この会社さんから、サファリツアーに参加するのを検討される方にお勧めします。tipsとしては、あまり日本では使用しないwhatsappが現地では便利ですので、事前に慣れておく方が良いでしょう。2024年12月現時点で、空港から迎えに行ってもらえますが、kilimanjaro空港をでるのに２時間ほどかかりますので、予めその時間を見積もって連絡しておく方が良いと思います。

He was a vibe, friendly, accommodating, and supportive. Also a very good time keeper!
My experience was amazing! We were always picked and dropped in time. Our driver really understood our itinerary and delivered proper service. He even advised on things like the weather which was really helpful in planning because it was in the rainy season.
The best part of it is that we had internet in the car during the whole trip so we didn’t need to buy sim cards.
I really felt the value for my money!

Christna make safari food is Delicious and Juli’s is safe driver and guide
I am Chinese and have lived in Bali for ten years. My English is average. When asking for price, I usually ask "How much" and then press the calculator. Everlasting is a local tour operator in Africa. They use receipts for sales transactions. They don't sign contracts. In fact, most overseas local tour operators don't sign contracts. It's OK to give receipts. Therefore, it is recommended to buy insurance before traveling. The important thing is not the contract, but whether the person you choose to connect with is reliable. At least that's what I think. Everlasting's sales Goldlisen responded to messages very quickly. I am also a practitioner in the tourism industry. His response, professionalism and just what I need: simple, cheap, stay in Serengeti for two more days and take me to the Mara River for two laps. So I paid a deposit of 100$ directly on the website. The landing was also very smooth. It's just that Goldliscen. Next time the customer pays you, if you have a receipt, you can take a photo of the receipt and send it to the customer. I am actually quite worried that you will run away, hahaha. I left on August 10-15. The driver was Julis, a part-time guide. Every time we arrive at a national park, we will stop the car first and tell the animals and stories of the park. Only after everyone understands it, will we drive in. The car speed on the road is not fast, and they are very active in helping us find animals. They accompany us to watch the sunset in Serengeti. Although we started to unload our equipment and set up tents when we returned to the camp, we are really grateful that they are willing to stop the car on the road to accompany us to watch the sunset. The sunset on August 12 and the sunrise on August 13 are unforgettable. The chef's name is Christna, a very professional little brother. Every time he cooks, he will wear a chef's hat, hahaha. The pineapple pizza is still delicious when I think about it now. But it was disliked by my Italian teammates, hahahaha. The food for a few days of Safari is the most delicious food I have eaten in Africa for 15 days. I am not sure whether my itinerary of staying in a tent in the camp will be suitable for everyone. But I think at least you can contact Goldliscen to inform him of your needs and ask him to help arrange it. By the way, ask if the guide and chef can invite Julis and Christan. Hahahaha. I'm in Bali, say hello. THX Goldliscen&Julis&Christna
