A unique experience
We had a great experience with Bestday safari during which we were able to see the big five as well as exceptional scenes.
We took full advantage of the parks by getting up early in the morning (especially in Serengeti) to spend more time with the animals and witness new scenes.
Peter, the agency manager, is an exceptional person. He made sure:
- The organization of our trip even before arriving in Tanzania.
- The management of all our requests without fail (a free French-speaking guide, the special "Honey Moon" decoration for our rooms...)
- The reception at the office as soon as we arrived in Arusha to give us all the necessary details for the safari.
- reception at the agency at the end of the experience to get our feedback on the safari.
An extraordinary gesture was made by Peter. Indeed, he was able to find in the 4 x4 our memory card lost during the safari and which contained all the videos and photos of our trip. He took charge of the responsibility of sending it to us to our hotel in Stone town (Zanzibar).
In short, everything was perfect! I highly recommend choosing BESTDAYS SAFARI!
Until the next experience with you!

Excellent experience with great guides
What a safari…. They say the Serengeti is a bucket list item: It was,… and it’s on my bucket list again. Once is not enough!
We went on a 6 day safari with Best Day Safaris, firstly to celebrate a 60th, and obviously to enjoy the wildlife etc. The trip incorporated Tarangire National Park, The Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservancy and the crater, as well as Lake Manyara.
The wildlife was exceptional. We saw the big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros) plus zebra and blue wildebeest, Thompson and grant gazelle (by the tens of thousand). The raptors were also out, not to mention the hyena.
Peter from Best Day Safaris, met us on the evening prior to going on safari, as well as on our return. We were expertly guided by Alie Juma. A fantastic guide who drove safely and made traveling on the gravel roads as comfortable as possible. We really can’t say enough about Alie’s knowledge, disposition and kindness. A guide in a million, who has been doing this for more than 10 years.
Peter arranged a surprise birthday cake for my wife while on safari which was a real treat.
Thanks Peter. The nature of a safari like this, and traveling into the Serengeti can present certain challenges/breakdowns etc. Not one thing went wrong with our trip. Hats off to you!
Thanks Alie. We arrived as visitors, and left as friends. See you again some time in the near future.

Unforgettable experience
In September 2022 we were on safari in Tanzania for 5 days. We chose the low budget version with tents. (Lake Manyara, Tarangire, 2 days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater). We booked, based on a recommendation from friends, directly through the provider "BestDaySafaris". All the time we were in contact with Peter. He answered all our questions about safaris and put together different packages until our wishes were fulfilled. Before the safari we chose the free night at the hotel where we were picked up by our guide Joseph on the first safari day. Since we were only two on the first day, Joseph stopped for us in town so we could get a sim card. After that, an incredibly great time began for us. Joseph was the best guide we could have asked for. We affectionately called him "Eagle Eye" because he really spotted EVERY animal. The hiding place could still be so good. He enriched us daily with an incredible amount of knowledge about the animals, Tanzania and the Maasai. In addition, there was our chef Emmanuel, who provided us with authentic African cuisine every day. We would not have been surprised if we had come back after the trip with a few kilos more. The food was really excellent! Time flew by and on the last day we left our group with heavy hearts. On the day of departure a driver was organized to take us back to Arusha. There we could pick up our remaining luggage at the office. The driver also brought us to our next accommodation. The next day we flew from Arusha to Zanzibar. Without us even asking, BestDaySafaris organized a driver for us here as well. We are completely enthusiastic and can highly recommend BestDaySafaris. If you decide for a safari in Tanzania, then decide for BestDaySafaris and ask for Joseph & Emanuel <3. We can only thank the whole team several times for this terrific time!!!

The comunication before starting was ok and the manager was very efficiently. Also the price gave us a motivation to choose Bestday! The last night after the safari the hotel was very nice and confortable. Everything It was really ok.

Bestday Safaris, Best Safaris Ever!!
This was hands down the best experience, I have ever had! Best Day Safaris were amazing! Picked up from the the airport by Freeman, a lovely, welcoming man! (Not part of the package but can be arranged by Best Day) Stephen was ready to meet us at the first hotel to brief us on the days ahead. Again a very friendly, helpful man! Then began our safari with one of the most amazing guides and people I have met! Joseph! What a legend! His eye for spotting animals was other worldly! He could spot a Lion on a rock from a mile away! My untrained eye had no idea how it was possible! His knowledge on the animals and landscape was second to none! We learnt sooo much about the animals and how they have evolved to adapt and survive! The days we spent with Joseph were amazing! He was so easy to talk to and learn from whether that was the nature or if you wish to learn some Swahili! He was extremely helpful and intelligent! I would recommend Best Day Safaris to absolutely everyone who wishes to go on this or any other excursion! Amazing experience!!!

Fantastic Tanzanian Safari Company!
Our entire experience with Best Day was amazing! From the beginning Peter was great with communication and completely accommodating towards our needs. Our guide, Joseph, was amazing! Very experienced and such a lovely person. He was really good at spotting the animals and telling us loads of interesting facts about them. The package we went for was perfect! We managed to see the big 5 and loads more! The accommodation included was also superb! Sleeping in the centre of the Serengeti is definitely one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I would highly recommend this company! They are a local small company that go above and beyond to create the best experience for you and wow, what an experience they create!

bestday safari = best safari operator
Our trip with bestday safaris was great. We chose tents as our accomodation and sleeping in your tent with hyenas laughing, zebras and buffalo grazing just next to your tent and even lions walking through camp at night and hearing them roar in the distance was an epic experience.
The guys from Bestday make sure that you don't have to worry about anything. From pick up from and drop off to the airport (in prize included), everything is taken care of.
Our driver Six was awesome as he always managed to show us the animals we wanted to see next and not only telling us stuff about the animals but also about the people and experiences in his life. Emanuel was the best chef by not only serving us the best food we had in Tanzania but also always checking on us and making sure we are allright.
All that for the best prize you can propably get I don't know why you wouldn't book a safari at Bestday... you won't regret it.

Long review:
It was definitely the best decision to book the tour with "Best day Safari". I had the best time in Africa during the safari tour.
I booked the 5 day tour and was blown away from start to finish. Everything went perfectly....From the airport pickup, hotels, high-quality accommodations, safari drive, vegetarian meals....everything was uncomplicated and very pleasant. I enjoyed the time with the tour guide Joseph the most. He is certainly the best and most courteous guide you can find. No one knows the animal world as well as he does. In addition, he drives extremely carefully, he was always very patient - always waiting for me.
And I was very lucky, it was rain season- but still could spot soo many animals (even the the big 5 ;)
But I know I owe a lot to Joseph. He made my time so unforgettable. Thank you so much for your commitment! I really had such a great time with you! I would definitely recommend this tour and specially with Joseph!

6-day Safari: Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Pros:
- fast and easy communication with Best Days.
- experienced, knowledged, motivated and patient guide/driver (Jackson), who also took us on less frequented routes.
- accomodation (staff and food): octagon lodge and tukaone camp.
Cons:
- lunch box: the selection of food of the vegetarian option was not great.
Extra:
Remember wearing light colored (beige/caqui)and long clothes against tse-tse flies. Also a hat is recommended.
Be aware that you may be asked to pay in cash. If you prefer to pay by card, take into account that a 5% surcharge is applied.
All in all, we were happy with the trip. Therefore, we would recommend to book your safari with Best Days :-)
