The office service and food were great!
My partner and I had a five-day safaris tour (Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) in June 2019 with Bestday Safaris. The office of Bestday Safaris was very responsive to many tiring questions that we had before booking. Before the tour in Arusha the office staff took time to brief the tour, which was helpful and reassuring. The office also sought our feedback after the tour and we appreciated the opportunity. Even after the tour, the office offered some assistance to accommodate our needs, which we did not expect as they were not related to the tour. We much appreciated their services. We particularly appreciated our chef, Emanuel. His food was so good and we enjoyed every meal during the tour. It was nice to have good food during the safaris tour, which can be tiring at times. He was friendly and very helpful wherever we had questions and needed some help.
Overall, we had a great tour. We'd recommend Bestday Safaris for others.

Breath taking experience of a life time which we highly recommend.
What a memorable experience this was. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable (his name is Six) he was pleasant and trustworthy. He drove well and felt like family to us by the end of the safari.
The whole experience was majestic and we can not recommend this safari company enough. Get in touch with Peter the tour operator as he very helpful. They even catered for our vegan diet requirements and prepared a cake for our wedding anniversary.
I urge you to book with best day safaris if you are looking for an above average experience.
Thank you to Six and Peter.

Private Safari in May (Serengeti Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara)
Did a private safari with BestDay with guide Josef. I booked everything (airport pickup and pre and post stay) from Bestday. This safari company is locally owned and they do their best to accommodate your needs. I had Wonderfull experience. My guid Josef was amazing. He has amazing ability to spot animals and birds. Since it was rainy season we were able to see many birds also. He prides himself in making customer happy. i.e I really wanted to see Cheetas and he drove around 150km in search of cheetah and we finally spotted it on ant hill.
BestDay safari also has tented camps (Tukaone Tented Camp). They are clean and well maintained camp. Food was amazing.
From my experience and also based on recommendation by Josef 2 days in Serengeti is ideal.
I was able to see all big five and numerous other animals. I also added Masai experience and Olduvai Gorge museum. Josef accommodated both visits and he also guided when is the best time to visit these places during safari.

Unforgettable safari!
I had an all around amazing experience with Bestday safaris. I did a 6day/5night safari. Organising the safari was easy as Mr Peter always responded to my emails in a timely fashion.
I travelled solo and was the only person on the safari. Joseph was my driver and I had such a great time with him. He was knowledgable, punctual and was phenomenal at spotting hidden animals in bushes/trees etc. We had some hilarious conversations on the drives to the game parks and importantly throughout the experience I always felt safe.
Accomodation was great, service was excellent, the places were very clean and the food was great.
We completed the big 5! :)
Day 1:
Tarangire national park: the park is beautiful and very green in the wet season. I saw countless numbers of elephants, a pride of lions, a leopard hiding in a bush and many other animals
Day 2-4:
Ngorongoro conservation area and Serengeti national park. Had the opportunity to see the masai villages from a far. Witnessed the beautiful landscape in the conservation area. The Serengeti is breath taking it actually looks like what you see in the nature documentaries. There were many wildebeest, zeebra, antelopes. There was a pride of lions on a huge boulder, a lion cub in a tree, 3 cheetahs and we saw another 5 leopards!!!!
Day 5:
Ngorongoro crater is such unique place. It is actually a an animal paradise. zeebras and wildebeest everywhere! Joseph also helped me spot the critically endangered eastern black rhino.
Day 6:
Lake manyara national park offered a variety of species of birds to see, lots of buffalo and countless numbers of baboons.
Thank you again Bestdays safari and especially you Joseph! I would recommend this company to all they helped me a complete a lifelong dream of seeing and photographing African wildlife.

Nice people and great trip
Easy communication. We are kind of spontaneous and make our booking a day before our trip. But they still manage to take us to safari. The driver, Abdul was great! Experienced driver in the safari. Unfortunately I got sick in the safari. Abdul also took me to the hospital. Very grateful for that. At the end of the trip, they also asked us for feedback and get to know things to improve.

Everything was nice and we did all our plans. Company solved all tasks and was very client-oriented. They have very good guides and drivers.

To my mind they should be more organized in details.

Wonderful adventure with Bestday Safaris!
We just had a fantastic 4-days and 3-nights safari experience with Bestday Safari. The two administrators we met, Peter and Steven, were kind and professional and our driver-guide, Mr. Abdul, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The accommodation and vehicle were both fine. We saw more animals than we expected and the landscapes were outstanding. The price we paid for a private safari was reasonable compared with other companies. We highly recommend Bestday Safaris for a smooth and unforgettable experience.

Bestday exceeded all my expectations!
Me and my boyfriend did a 6 day Safari with Bestday and was very satisfied with rour trip. We got to see all the animal we had hope to see and ticked the big 5. Our guide and driver was from a Masai village which made us getting to know the indigenous culture both from him and also from other Masai as he would speak their language and tell us about the culture. The lodges was good standard and the food was OK. All in all we are very happy with our trip and would recommend going with this company and especially the guide Jackson!

Excellent safari with Jackson
We just got back from a 6 day safari with Bestday Safaris and Jackson as our guide and driver. Let me just start by saying that Jackson made the whole trip! He is extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and most of the plants, you could ask him anything and he would give you detailed answers on everything :) Jackson took us in all the right places both in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara which enabled us to mark all of the big five! We had a truly fantastic experience and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to go with Bestday and with Jackson!

The most incredible experience and best priced safari-expertly handled from beginning to end.
This trip was number 1 on my bucket list-I was a travel agent years ago and always wanted to go on a safari but the cost was prohibitive. I also quizzed flight attendants on their recommendations for the best safari-hands down Tanzania for the most animals. When I searched for safaris on the internet, Best Day Safaris came up and I couldn't believe the prices. I had the best driver, Roman, and was by myself the first day-then joined by 2 other ladies on the second day. The accommodations were first rate, the food incredible and there were so many animals I can't even begin to name them all. The day I left I woke up early-heard a rustling outside-pulled the curtain and there was an elephant right outside my window. I believe he was saying goodbye-or don't leave. I would say this safari was a once in a lifetime experience-but I hope to do it again.
