FS do not deliver what promised.They subcontract to the jeep owners who in turn make you a scapegoat
I had specifically booked in July to see the Migration but was very disappointed that the tour operator just takes your money and then he is sub-contracting to the jeep owner who in turn is only trying to cut on his fuel costs and maximise his profit,so in the bargain you are made a scapegoat.
I had opted for a tented accomodation and had specifically asked for the a picture of theinside of the tent where I was shown a tent with a wooden bed inside.Imagine the shock to see a dirtiest mattress with a torn cover given to me in Serengiti and that too on the floor.One should be honest with what one is promising not cheat. I was also charged more than the others in the group.I will not recommend FS to anybody .There are other more honest and less expensive tour operators.

Posted on Jul 30, 2015Dear Raju,
Thank you for this review and sincerely this is our FIRST negative review but i am hereby making it clear as below;
(1) A WOODEN BED IN BASIC CAMPING SAFARI:
We gave you the options for tented camping safari and basic camping safari you chose to book for the basic camping safari (not tented safari). The basic/budget camping safari do not have wooden bed but just only sleeping bags, tent and sleeping mattress. There is no where you said you want to sleep in the tented camp with bed, I hope you understand this clearly.
(2) SERENGETI MIGRATION IN JULY:
Raju, It is well known that July is the best season especially in western Serengeti even here in safaribookings it is mentioned that July is amongst the best months for migration (please click this link to view https://www.safaribookings.com/serengeti/best-time ) but please also note that National parks are not like zoo so the animals can freely move from here to there.
However, i respect your review and thank you very much for taking your time on this.

Great Tanzania safari
We found Fantastic Safaris online and chose them based on other reviews. My experience matched. From first time I emailed, they immediately responded to all emails and answered questions I had as they came up. There was a lot of flexibility to customize the safari (2 nights in tents & 2 nights in tented camp/lodge), pick up from the airport & ride back. Bryce was at airport to get us to Arusha and make sure we were taken care of from the start (even took us to souvenir shop) and then Beno our guide was so knowledgeable about animals and plants and just easy going throughout the trip. They delivered on customer service and price was very good. I definitely recommend Fantastic Safaris as a guide company.

we enjoyed our trip
Fantastic fantastic and fantastic are three words that describe this agency. Our planning process was very very smooth as the agent had excellent knowledge of the region. Our travel agent was always available in the process. Upon arrival we were greeted by well read guides and experienced drivers. They were extremely courteous and informative and went out of the way to make our trip memorable. Each and every transfer was on time and perfect. Hotels recommended were fantastic one of a kind.

I would highly recommend Fantastic safaris as your tour organizer if you want to visit Tanzania.
My wife and I took the 6 days private camping safari through Fantastic Safaris. We contacted this company based on a Excellent reviews we found here on the safaribooking. We contacted Fantastic safaris, and heard back quickly from Abdallah, who gave us all the information we needed. We found the price to be very competitive, and were happy with the planned itinerary. We were given a day by day itinerary and the price was reasonable and he gave us options for either sending through bank or western union we decided to send through western union because it was faster and easy. They provided us the fantastic car with a fantastic driver who was reliable and a bold, intelligent guide who often surprised us with unexpected sightings. He found the big 5 for us to observe and photograph. Overall, I would highly recommend Fantastic safaris as your tour organizer if you want to visit Tanzania.
