You’re not just booking a trip—you’re gaining a guide, a friend, & a truly unforgettable experience
A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience with Dendea Safaris!
This March, we decided to trade screen time for adventure and finally answered the call of Africa with a family trip to Tanzania. While researching safari options, we came across Dendea Safaris, run by the wonderful Mr. Sudi—and we’re so glad we did!
From our very first message, Mr. Sudi was warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He crafted a perfect 6-day safari itinerary covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and local sights in Arusha—all planned smoothly over WhatsApp. Transferring the advance was easy, and we felt completely confident from the start.
Upon arrival, Mr. Sudi welcomed us at Kilimanjaro Airport, ensured we settled in, and gave us a detailed briefing for the adventure ahead. What followed was beyond anything we imagined—breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable wildlife sightings, and seamless travel between locations.
We were also joined by Mr. Peter, our amazing camp chef, whose meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) were an absolute treat—especially for our two kids who adored both the food and the warmth of his company.
Throughout the trip, Mr. Sudi made sure we were comfortable, safe, and fully immersed in the safari experience. His patience with our children’s endless questions and his ability to connect with them was heartwarming—they were genuinely sad to say goodbye on the final day.
This was more than a holiday—it was a beautiful memory we’ll cherish forever. If you're planning a safari from Arusha, we wholeheartedly recommend Dendea Safaris. You’re not just booking a trip—you’re gaining a guide, a friend, and a truly unforgettable experience.

The best trip
I have been traveling back to China for a while. I miss my days in Tanzania. Sudi is very kind and friendly. He took us to many places and saw a lot of animals. I'm very happy that he and his favorite animals are giraffes. The time in Serengeti haunts my soul. I think that's my second hometown. I will go back again.

An Amazing Safari with Genuine Care and Comfort
We chose to travel with Dendea Safaris, and it truly became a trip to remember. We opted for the luxury camping safari, and it was the perfect mix of adventure and comfort—exactly what we had hoped for. Being able to experience the wild while still enjoying some extra comfort really made the experience special.
Everything went smoothly, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing time. The small touches, like making sure all our little requests were taken care of, made all the difference. We felt very well taken care of throughout the whole journey.
I can warmly recommend Dendea Safaris to anyone looking for a genuine safari experience with high standards and a personal touch.

Sudi looked after our family of five and was fantastic made us feel like family
Sudi was a fantastic host, he made sure we all felt comfortable - we actually felt like part of his family. He always made sure our children were happy and content, checked to stop if we needed anything, went out of his way to ensure we seen enough of the animals and if we wanted to wait longer to watch or take photograph's. Took extra bathroom stops for the children if they needed it and considered if they would need lunch earlier ect. Could not fault a single thing, as a family of five we had the most wonderful time and we are sad that it has now come to an end, but we are already looking for our next safari with Sudi. The campsites were also great, the food was fantastic, more than we expected whilst on a safari. Following Safari we had also booked a hotel before our flights in the middle of no where, Sudi went out of his way to make sure we got there safe, had food and drink and even offered to take us the airport the following day. You made our experience unreal and we will never forget this. Thank you ☺️

Great safari with very kind and knowledgeable guide
We had a great three days with Mr. Sudi in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Mr. Sudi is friendly, easygoing and very knowledgable about the animals and the area. We felt very well taken care of and had some beautiful encounters with lions, elephants, hippos and hyenas amongst others.
The food made by the cook was amongst the most tastiest we had on our whole trip to Tanzania.
Our best recommendations to Dendea Safaris and a big thank to Mr. Sudi for the unforgettable memories.

Migration and crossing of the Mara
We chose a 3-night private safari to see the Great Migration and the Mara crossing (spectacular, unique). Sudi accompanied us, very kind, patient and helpful.
The Dendea Safari agency left us satisfied, I did everything independently directly from my home in Italy (sending the deposit with the app they use in Tanzania instead of paypal, which is called wise, everything went well, I confirm).

Our tour operator was so kind during the tour and he waited us for taking the photos.
The tour operator Mr Sudi he is so kind and warm person. I was so happy during the tour. He explained about the animals and waited us for taking the photos. Also, the food of the cook was so nice. I didn’t expect it because it was a budget trip, but I had my best meals during the safari tour.

The best tour ever since in my life
This march, we had a tour in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Mr Sudi, and his chef Mr Apollo lead us for 2days.
Mr Sudi is very cooperative. He tries his best to respond to our requires and make us feel comfortable in the wild. And he has a great sight, which can catch animals in a very long distance. Even if we are all in a sleep, he woke us up to see the animals. And for that, we were able to see almost all kinds of animals in the park. Especially, I really liked when he gave us information about the history and nature of the park, and of course his soft and gentle voice were so nice to listen.
Mr Apollo is an amazing cooker. Literally, we only expected some lunch boxes with sandwich and some fruits before the tour. But for real, we had dining courses every night. He prepares soup as a starter, meat and noodle/rice as a main, and fruits/traditional snacks as a dessert. He well cares about the balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Every meal was perfect. Every time when Mr Apollo came toward us carrying his dishes, we gave him an applause. I'm 100% sure that other tables near by us were jealous of his dishes.
If someone who is reading this comment, please go straight to contact Mr Sudi. You will 100% enjoy safari with him. Lastly, I feel so thankful to Mr Sudi for giving us bright and shining memories of Tanzania. ASANTE SANA🌟
<한국인 관광객 분들을 위한 후기>
Sudi씨랑 투어하시면 후회 없을 거예요!
요구사항도 잘 들어주시고, 동물들도 잘 찾아주시고, 일정이나 시간도 잘 지키시고, 현지 문화에 대한 설명도 잘 해주십니다. 특히 Sudi씨 목소리가 좋고 엄청 귀여우세요.ㅎㅎ
Sudi씨와 함께 오시는 요리사 분 음식도 정말 맛있습니다. 사실 투어 전에는 간단한 도시락 정도 주겠거니 했는데, 매 끼니마다 레스토랑 부럽지 않을만큼 요리해주셨어요. 특히 생선, 고기 요리가 정말 정말 맛있어요! 덕분에 투어 일정 내내 간식도 사먹지 않고 지냈네요.
이 글을 읽는 한국인 분들! 꼭 Sudi씨랑 사파리 투어 가세요. 후기가 좋은 이유가 있답니다. 제가 다음에 다시 사파리를 오게 되어도 또 Sudi씨랑 함께할 거예요. Dendea 추천합니다~

Great 5 days safari in reasonable price!
I really enjoyed safari with Dendea. Sudi was very knowledgable guide and made a real effort to show us the best of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We were able to see the whole BIG FIVE. He offered us a great price for private tour. We managed to follow lions with little cubs, see hunting cheetah and chilling hippos. He was patient and were telling interesting stories. We felt safe and well taken care of. Sudi is such a good driver!
We also had a great chef - Frank. Food was delicious and I didnt experience any stomach issues. 5 starts!
