The Best Safari Ever
We are a group of 6 all Tanzanian residents (myself, Italian, my wife, Tanzanian, 2 french and 2 dutch friends), and we are just back from an amazing experience with Safari Crew.
We have all been on safari before but never experienced such an attentive service and precise organization. All camps and lodges were simply excellent, the “stretched” Toyota Land Cruiser was supercomfortable, our guide extremely knowledgable. We warmly suggest this safari outfitter with no hesitation.

Simply great!
Excellent service, very professional owners and staff, very good vehicle, friendly and helpful guide.
Just back from a quick 4 day trip to the Serengeti with a group of 5 friends, all Tanzanian residents of different nationalities, we all had previous safari experiences and we can tell the guys at Safari Crew Tanzania are really great.
Overall a very positive experience.

Amazing safari, excellent service
My wife and I have just lived the experience of a lifetime with SAFARI CREW TANZANIA in the beginning of this month (Dec 2019).
If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, then don't look any further. Contact Safari Crew Tanzania, they are thorough professionals. It is a medium-sized company with 15 Toyota Land Cruisers, small enough to be attentive and ready to personalize your experience, yet big enough to guarantee all the support one may need. We contacted some other companies among the most famous (and probably bigger), whose responses were not as precise as those we got from Safari Crew.
Our safari was beyond perfect.
Our contact was Rocco, the communication with him was superfast and responsive. Rocco proved to be very flexible and helped us in preparing our perfect itinerary through Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Everything was meticulously planned from our arrival to our departure. They also helped us finding the most suitable flight through one of their partners and even finding a car for self drive in Zanzibar.
Everything went smoothly since the very first contact.
When we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport we have been welcomed by Anate, who would have been our guide for the next 6 days.
Anate was knowledgeable, very polite and gentle, he underatands his guests' needs and knows how to plan every safari day according to the guests’ liking. He has an impressive knowledge about animals, birds, topography, territories etc. He's been a great driver on bumpy and slashy roads. He is a good spotter of animals and birds during safari.
We have had previous safari experiences in South Africa and Kenya, we can tell Tanzania definitely stands at another level.
All the camps and lodges were comfortable, nicely located and were beyond our expectations. The tented camp experience in the Serengeti is something we will never forget.
We have seen all the big 5 and many many other species of animals, including uncountable species of birds.
We can warmly recommend this company, Asante Sana Safari Crew Tanzania!

Safari Migration with Safari Crew Tanzania: 5 stars are not enough!
My wife and I have been back for less than a month from a magnificent 8-day safari in Northern Tanzania perfectly organized by Safari Crew Tanzania. All excellent, not a smear, everything carefully planned in detail, all above our expectations.
- Itinerary, well structured and fluid: 1 night in Arusha, 1 Ngorongoro, 5 nights in the Serengeti, of which 2 in the center and 3 in the north, where we could watch the migration (thrilling show, which alone is worth the trip) then flight from Kogatende (Northern Serengeti) to Zanzibar. No intermediate nights to waste time (like, I have seen, some operators propose, to give the impression of a longer program at reasonable costs), a new emotion every day.
- Guide, Gerald, from the perfect Italian, very good, able to see beyond human possibilities, able to always stop the machine in an ideal position for photos, an expert on animals and their habits, but also on history and culture of Tanzania. Also nice and friendly, he never offered to stop at shops or flea markets, we had to insist on doing some shopping (an unusual feature all over the world, where guides, you know, usually take commissions from stores ).
- Formidable, comfortable off-road vehicle, in perfect condition, at the height of every situation, huge, a Toyota Land Cruiser beast step along with the roof that lifts, always very clean every morning (despite the evening, given the conditions of the slopes, were to say slightly dusty).
- Lodges and tented camps always wonderful, comfortable: above all the tented fields have surprised us for the comfort, the cleanliness, the service and above all the locations and the charm. Of the two categories of accommodations proposed by Safari Crew we had chosen the less expensive one, which turned out to be perfect, better than we could have expected (sometimes the photos on the internet don't render). The choice of Zanzibar also fits perfectly: here Rocco, after hearing that we do not like villages and big hotels, suggested Villa Kiva, in Matemwe, an area far from mass tourism, a small hotel of only 30 rooms managed to perfection. by a couple of Italian / Polish boys.
Everywhere we ate very well. Lunch boxes for lunch are a little monotonous, but there is little to do there.
We decided to extend the program by adding several nights to the Serengeti and this proved to be a good choice, because in this way you avoid having to make your way every day to move from one park to another, you can enjoy the safari without having to do the baggage and you have the opportunity to go out at dawn with the packed breakfast, return around 11 am, have lunch at the camp, rest in the central hours of the day and succeed between 15 and 19, also avoiding lunch boxes.
Exceptional quality / price ratio: we had requested other quotes, even from another couple of Italian-run agencies, some cheaper but certainly more "insipid". Safari Crew is not the most economical agency, but, from the first approach, it has shown great competence, professionalism, ability to advise us, flexibility in complying with our requests, to interpret them, to translate them effectively demonstrating such competence and passion, which I have not encountered in dialogue with other agencies.
The advice I give to everyone and to avoid too compressed programs, avoid running, don't ask for a park a day, take the necessary time, every day is a day well spent, especially in the Serengeti, while in Ngorongoro one day is fine too, the crater is small.
In short, for an impeccable safari there is only to contact Safari Crew Tanzania and rely on their experience. Special thanks to Rocco, Gerald and the whole Crew. We really hope to come back soon. It is a journey that will always remain in our hearts.

Unforgettable Tanzania, amazing Safari Crew!
A truly memorable experience, meticulously planned by Safari Crew Tanzania. The experience went far above our expectations.
We have been to Kenya before and we enjoyed every bit of it, but the trip to Tanzania has been the experience of a lifetime.
When booking the trip, our contact was Mr Rocco, the director of Safari Crew, we had the pleasure to meet him before and after our safari. He’s a real expert, passionate about his job and runs his company in such a way that all the staff have a sense of belonging and commitment in their profession.. We also visited his office on our last day, on the way to the airport. He has always been quick in responding the dozens of mails, ready to amend the itinerary to adjust it according to our requests.
The rsult was a perfectly designed 9 day/8 night private safari just for the two of us through Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti (including the extreme north, an area interested by the great migration between July and September) and Tarangire.
Once we arrived the service was amazing from start to finish everything was carefully planned. Our Guide, Saidi, has been more than a guide, a baby sitter, a professor, a great driver, attentive to our needs (the car was perfectly clean every morning, after hours on dusty roads, even when we stayed in tented camps). He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals and their behaviour. He could spot game at incredible distance. He was extremely friendly, discrete and knew the routes just like we know the roads of the city we live in.
All the lodges and camps where exceptional, perfectly located, comfortable and cozy. We loved the luxury tented camp experience. All the camp staff made an amazing job providing excellent service in extreme locations.
We saw everything and more, uncontable species of animals, we had the chance to see two river crossings on the Mara River: breath-taking.
This is simply the best safari tour company. They just get everything right. We couldn’t hope to get anything better.
Asante sana Safari Crew Tanzania! we will definitely come back.
