Go with Nature Responsible Safari and support Tanzanians.
We booked our safari lodgings and cultural arrangements through Nature Responsible Safari and we are certainly glad we did. Francisca was very easy to work with and her arrangements were flawless, everything was set up perfectly and we were even surprised by the high quality of the accommodations for the price.
We couldn't have had a better guide than Casmir Shija, he was very skilled, knowledgeable and experienced and a great guy (and very funny) to boot. Other safari-goers seemed a little jealous of our arrangements and itinerary.
We will do it again as soon as we can!

Wow!
It is very difficult to sum up the amazing experience we had in Tanzania in one short review. This was the trip of a lifetime and we continue to encourage everyone back at home to go and appreciate this place for themselves. We feel SO fortunate that we happened to choose Nature Responsible Safari as our host to lead us through the country. Dearson was an excellent guide, pampering us more than we could have ever imagined, and leaving us with a rich history of both the country and wildlife. Book your trip to TZ today through NRS to see the real Africa!

Life time experience
Perfect organisation. Incredible encounters with animals & wildlife in their natural environment. The guide was caring, speaking good french language, driving safely and with a wide animal experience.

We were very happy
Fransisca was really reactive and fast to reply each time we had a question preparing our trip.
She welcomed you upon arrival and even offered us a present each. She is a really genuine person :-)
Our driver and guide was really friendly and knew many things about Tanzania and all the animals. He spoke really good French which was really good for us.
Everything was well organized and well taken care of.
Hotels were very nice, everybody was friendly, the food was good (the only thing would be to have better lunch boxes).
We would definitely choose Nature responsible again if we ever go back.
Thanks for everything

Best ever Safari Company for Tanzania
Francisca (the owner of Nature Responsible Safaris) planned a 12-day photo safari with focus on Serengeti and migration for a couple of friends and me.
The itinary that we agreed on was excellent but the travel experience was even more exciting. We did not have to worry about the time spent on an activity or whether we would be able to do all of them - Francisca and her excellent driver Deo took care of all that and did it perfectly.
The accommodation was superb - we only wanted budget tented camps... what we got was much better than what we expected. We could not remark any difference to a more luxury accommodation except the price we had to pay for. As well the safari jeep was excellent, with bean sacs for the tele camera lenses, integrated chargers for camera, laptop and phone, a fridge and not to forget Deo the best safari guide and driver I ever had.
On top the fact, that Francisca had to do a short term planning for that very special safari as we decided end of November to go in January. She did a more than perfect job to arrange a safari including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ndutu Area, Ngorongoro and Lake Natron.
If someone wants to see some photographic results, feel free to visit my youtube channel:

where you find several video clips about Tarangire, Serengeti, Migration, Ndutu and Ngorongoro.
I strongly recommend Nature Responsible Safaris for a Tanzania tour of any kind and I am looking forward to my next trip.

Outstanding tour, exceeded expectations
We did a six-day tour to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater, staying at several lodges, including a lovely tent lodge. The pre-tour arrangements and the tour itself were impeccably organized. Francesca was highly responsive, and offered us the most attractive package, in terms of both value and quality. Francesca and Heriel, our guide/driver, were both extraordinarily attentive during the entire tour, listening and responding to our wishes and tastes. Francesca came to our lodge and welcomed us on our first day. Heriel, who accompanied us from our arrival at Kiliminjaro airport until our departure, evinced great competence and skill as both a driver and guide with knowledge of both the natural world and wildlife and the human culture of the region. He is an incredibly kind person, maintaining great calm in any situation. (He spoke both English and French.) He succeeded in locating all of the wildlife we wanted to see, including the difficult to find cheetahs. We also were lucky enough to find three lionesses milking their cubs. We highly recommend the tour.

Easy to deal with before booking and excellent experience during safari
No complaints on anything. They were quick to answer pre-booking. Delt with changes we wanted and had a nice truck and guide waiting for us on arrival. You can read about our experience in my travel story here

Taylor-made private safari. Great choice!
Great experience totally recommendable.
This has been my first family safari (my teenager daughter, my wife and I) but I’m a kind of safari-addict as it has been in fact my 8th safari in Africa.
We started with a first safari tasting, spending a day in Arusha National Park. We dedicated the next 3 days to climb Mount Meru (what a great experience! - not suitable for everyone - basic sleeping, nice food and incomparable views). After Meru, we spent 5 days looking for nature: Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti x2 and Ngorongoro. I can just say everything was fantastic: unbeatable organization in every step, amazing guide-driver, unforgetable accomodations, great food and really good luck in finding fauna (We saw everything but rhino).
I would strongly recommend NRS. They work for you and with you, to find the combination of routes, places and activities you are looking for. They can organize your trip from a top-end to the most budget options with ensured quality and, overall, you can count in NRS team professionality. I really will recommend them!

It was perfect. We got everzthing we expected and more.
It was perfect. We got everything we expected and more.
This was our first Safari, therefore, we shopped around quite a lot. By accident we discovered Nature Responsible Safari. We had them in the race with 10 other companies.
First response was very fast available. Then we started adapting the plan to our needs and budget (we have not been on a super high budget, by the way). Fransisca, the owner, was very attentive and responded fantastically to ALL our questions, doubts and fears every time within 24h. Never any question unanswered and any answer with double meaning. Every option was explained properly, no matter if expensive or cheap.
It also seems that Fransisca is working close with the local communities to ensure tourist money stay withing Tanzania and benefit the locals. It seems she concentrate especially of including women into the work space.
We can not tell how much money really flows into the local communities, but we did not had any doubts any time. One thing was very clear, Natural Responsible is not one of these massive international companies and therefore we have been sure that the money will stay around Arusha. That was the goal all along and we believe from all we have seen, that this is really the case.
2 month before the actual trip we started communicating by Whats Up which made things even more easier. Kudos for that!
No problems at all with the money transfer beforehand !!
Our Guide Emanuele was a star. He adapted 100% to our needs and tried to make the trip as much comfortable as possible for us. We have seen every animal we ask him for.
He gave us our proper space and free time and we never felt any moment uncomfortable. He gave us willingly insides into every day life routines, problems and advantages. We believe with that information we could make us a good picture about live in Tanzania and put things into perspective, which we have seen as undoubtedly different to European life.
Summary: Everyone was to the core professional! Always again! Thank you very much Nature Responsible. Keep doing the things you do.
