Right choice
5/5

We had a very exciting 3 days safari in Serengeti and Norongoro Crater. I recommend this program. We found this program very sufficient in terms of content and days. We had the chance to see all the big five except the black rhino from the first day it was a very impressive experience

We stayed the first night in a dome (Nelson's big surprise for us) and the next night in tent,
At night, it can get cold so better bring warm clothes. We had the cook with us and he (Prosba) prepared delicios meals everytime, local food but very, very tasty and a lot of fruits. The driver (JUMA) would stop and search for the best place to see the animals and to take the best pictures.
The owner of the tour (Nelson) very interested, we can always reach him, he hosted us very nicely in his hostel before and after the safari. Our cook at the hostel was very friendly and made very tasty food

A once-in-a-lifetime experience

Great value for money, unforgetable experience
5/5

We had a very nice 4 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Norongoro Crater. I recommend visiting all these three national parks and conservation area because each of them is different and beautiful in its own way. We stayed the first night in a dome and the next 2 nights in tents, the washrooms were in different buildings next to the camp site and there's also dining rooms where we would serve dinner and sometimes lunch. At night, it can get cold so better bring warm clothes. (But not too many mosquitos so that was a plus.) We had the cook with us and she prepared delicios meals everytime, local food but very, very tasty and a lot of fruits. We saw many, many animals, the guide (Ezeckiel, which was a great person, by the way, I totally recommend him) would stop and search for the best place to see the animals and to take the best pictures. We were really impressed of how many we saw. For us it was the first safari, so for the money we paid, I think it was a great value.

Everything was perfect, from start to finish, from the moment we were picked up at the airport.
5/5

Everything was perfect, from start to finish, from the moment we were picked up at the airport. The atmosphere in the Lions Gates is second to none, we had a very good evening before starting the safari, very good meal. Then during the safari it's just incredible, we saw the most beautiful things in our life, the landscapes, the animals, everything is magnificent. The guides are attentive, everyone is nice, I highly recommend! Small special mention to Petter who made us eat on the camps, very nice and very good cook!

Nelson and his company welcome us for a 5 days Safari in the biggest parks of Tanzania. It was perfect, we sleep well, the food was good, and the experience was amazing. Nelson adapted the travel to our needs. So perfect.

5/5

Nelson was incredible with me, the communication is really great with him. He is very accommodating because we pay directly on the spot without any advance payment. The safari was great with a guide and a wonderful food with a top cook! Do not hesitate to take focus on Africa

Amazing experience, great value, friendly peoples
5/5

We did a 2 day safari trip (Tarangire and Ngorongoro). This was our first safari experience. The accommodations was comfortable. Big comfortable beds, hot water, and delicious foods. On both national parks we saw a lot of animals, it was an amazing adventure (elephants, lions, zebras, buffalos, hippos, giraffes, monkeys, etc). Our driver was very friendly and helpful, he observed the animals from a big distance.
We fully recommend for everyone who want to enjoy the safari and to stay with best memories.

Fantastic experience. Great value for money!
5/5

This was not our first safari experience, yet it was a fantastic trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. The whole team always tried their best to make sure we had a great time! Our special thanks to Bryson-our kind and helpful guide and driver, and Prosper-our incredible and accommodating super chef! They always had a positive attitude and made us feel safe and enjoy our time.

The car was spacious and comfortable with an open roof, and it had electricity to charge our devices. The routes and parks chosen were fantastic, and the game drives super fun- we saw many many beautiful animals and landscapes.

The accommodation was better than expected (as we thought we would be camping in ground tents every night), but we stayed in nice and comfortable rooms in 2 out of 3 nights, still giving us the chance to also experience camping with zebras around Ngorongor crater for 1 night.

Great value for money, and we totally recommend it.

Amazing safari
5/5

We did a 3 days safari (Ngorongoro and serengeti). It was very nice. The car is spacious, there is electricity in it, and the camping places were very cool. Not crowded. We saw lots of animals.
Nelson, the agency director, was very helpful to organise the trip. We did one more night in his hostel which is a place very welcoming, with swimming pool and view over Meru mountains.

It is a Great trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We saw many animals. It was good organize trip!
5/5

Safari is an old dream, and I was very worried before the vacation so that the realization of this dream would not disappoint me.
There are a large number of offers of safari tours from different companies, prices and conditions are on average the same for all, so it is rather difficult to choose.
I wanted to plan everything in advance to make sure to include the safari in my vacation plan. I have been looking for and talking with managers of different companies for a long time. Nelson was recommended to me by guys who recently went on a safari with his company (I found them in the chat in the telegram).
I was not mistaken in my choice, everything was organized at the highest level - punctually and clearly. We talked a lot on WhatsApp before I arrival, he helped choose the safari program and plan the time of arrival in Arusha.
We arrived a day before the start of the tour. We were met by a car with a driver and taken to the hostel provided by Nelson.
The hostel has small rooms, but delicious dinners.
In the morning, after breakfast and an organizational meeting, we went to Tarangire Park, accompanied by a guide. We spent the second day in Ngorongoro. The impressions are unforgettable, a lot of different animals are very close.
We saw:
Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Gehenna, Jackals, Antelope, Wildebeest, Baboons, Ostriches, Warthog, Rhinos, Hippos, Monkey, Buffalo, Gazelles, Water goats, Liones
And a bunch of different birds - pelicans, flamingos
They searched for a lioness for a long time and found it.
The guide knows a lot about local animals, nature and was happy to answer all of our questions.
We spent the night at the Panarama hotel with a stunning view of Lake Manyara.
A delicious dinner was organized, a show program, they greeted us very cordially.
Flew off the day after the tour, Nelson arranged a taxi to the airport.

Wonderful adventure for a great price :)
5/5

I'm very pleased that I chose Safari with Nelson. Contact with him was immediate. Nelson is a helpful and reliable person, he took care of all the details. The cook is amazing - the food was delicious. I have never been hungry and thirsty. As for Safari itself, it was an amazing adventure! I've seen all of the big 5. I will remember it for the rest of my life. Thank you Nelson!
