Ngozi crater, Bridge of God, Lake Nyasa, Kalambo falls 5 days tour tour
I spent 5 days with Sharif and Fraiko.
The accommodation in the camp near Mbeya is excellent. The camp is on the banks of a small river, and you eat near small streams in the nature. The rooms are good, with a bed and hot water on request and you will get a solar lamp for the evenings. The food at the camp is excellent, and all drinks were included in the price.
The evening is reserved for talking around the campfire.
The tour around lake Nyasa(Matema beach) and Kalambo falls was great, and it was really good to see all those places. Lakengozi tours made a good itinerary for the trip and stuck to it as much as possible.
The only problem that happened to us was that the police wanted to check our car 3 times in one day so we were late to arrive in one town, but everything went great despite that.
Also, the road conditions on one part was very bad due to rainy season so our car got stuck in the mud, but Sharif and Fraiko gave their best and we managed to pull it out after some time.
All in all, a great experience with lake ngozi tours.

Amazing 8 day in Serengeti,Ngorongoro,Manyara,Tarangire and Arusha National Park
We had a wonderful stay in Five National Parks. The guide was helpful and very knowledgeable about wildlife (flora and fauna). We got to see all animals include big five, we go closer during hiking escorted by Park Ranger. We really enjoyed a lot with lakengozi Tours.

A very special tour for my family on my wife's 65 th birthday. Excellent communication with great to
Amazing experience start to finish, very well-run operation
My husband and I did a private Northern circuit safari with Lakengozi Tour in December. We had a truly amazing experience and would book with Lake Ngozi Tour and Safaris again in a hear beat! Nassoro who runs the office is a great communicator and was very understanding and helpful when we had to reschedule our tour last minute because of surgery my husband needed. The tour itself was perfect — we saw the big five and many more, experienced part of the wildebeast migration and loved all of the accommodations provided. The meals were also much better than we had expected and the tour was sensitive to some dietary restrictions I have. Overall it completely exceeded our expectations and was greater.

Unprofessional & Liars
We booked a 10-day safari tour of the North including the main National Parks and a trekking from Empakai to Lake Natron. The very first day our rusty 4x4 had to be fixed. Ok. No problem. That happens. It was going to be fixed the same day. Next day we departed very late cause it had not been repaired. We arrive to campsite. Rain. Water seeped into our tents so our sleeping bags, mattresses got soaked... We complained and they were not changed until the 4th night!!! Meanwhile, more delays... We complained to the big boss (Mr. Nasoro - sorry if the spelling is wrong) for the delays. He'll do his best to solve it blah blah blah... Next day we arrive to Serengeti NP. Driver says he has not enough money to pay the entrance. Ok. Call your boss to solve it. He says that we have to pay ourselves. Same happen with Ngorongoro entrance. We spent more than 1 hour for the Boss to solve the problem. We paid. Later we found that it was intentional cause we have arranged with him that we will pay a little amount at the end of the trip. As you can imagine, that amount was exactly the money that we paid at Serengeti & Ngorongoro. So the thing is that we complain about the delays and the following days he creates a new problem that make us waste even more time. We were really furious. As for the trek, it was so badly organized that we had to pay to rescue part of their own stuff (cook, cooking material, etc...). We missed Lake Natron (the driver that had to pick us up to take us there was delayed..). We used some local guides for the trek. Really nice people. They were not getting paid by our staff. We almost had a fight so they got paid. They found the money to pay them miraculously. We did not trust them since we knew they were all liars. That last day, the Big Boss did not appear. He said he was in Dar. We complained about the money that we paid: the rescue of the staff, food expenses since cook and food were in the middle of nowhere... obviously he refused to pay us back. Not a single apologize. Later, the same staff, ashamed, told us that he was at home...
As you can see, we can't recommend this company. They made our trip a nightmare. Everyday there were delays and one lie after the other... And the way they treated the local guides was degrading.

Safari to Ngorongoro,Manyara and Lake Eyasi to visit Bushman and Datoga tribe
My friend and I went on a Safari to the Ngorongoro crater, we saw beautiful scenery and many animals. It was an unforgettable trip, we felt like being in the garden of Eden. Transport was good, although road was very bumpy. Food provided was OK, not much. The driver/guide not very communicative, we had to ask him about animals, otherwise he would not say much.Big Baobao trees,huge Elephant and hippo in Lake Manyara Natinal Park. Mmm nice local live from hazabe and Datoga in Lake Eyasi. The rest OK.
l would like to thank all the staff, they were so kind with us
Perfect organization from the beginning until the end and Heard Office ni Karatu makes life and tour to be mostly easily and price right price hence Karatu in allocating to the centra of Ngorongoro,Serengeti,tarangire and Manyara. Hope to see you again
