Reboot the African way
It was the second time I booked with Nature Responsible Safari. After traveling the southern circuit last time, we went now to the northern circuit visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. Organisation, Jeep, driver guide and lodges were excellent and the personal support by lovely Fransisca superb. Our driver could show us the big 5 in three days, the herds of the migration, rainbow above Ngorongoro crater and lots more. After one day I felt like being rebooted. It is so easy not to think about work, home, problems... On this trip I have been completely in the presence, not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow. Everything was overwhelming.
Dear Fransisca - I will come again!

Well planned and well exectued! Very satisfactory!
After trekking Mt. Kilimanjaro, my friend and I decided to go on a safari to see the beautiful sights of Tanzania. We found Nature Responsible Safaris through a friend and really enjoyed our 2 day safari. The guide was knowledgeable and flexible, and knew where to take us in the parks to see the best animals. The women in the office were extremely nice and accommodating and made us feel very welcome.
Thanks for a great trip Nature Responsible Safaris!

Great (lovely but cost-conscious) accomodations selected by safari operator, and OUTSTANDING service
My daughter, grandson and I arrived to unanticipated heavy rains that required NRS to make daily changes in our itinerary, which they did so effectively that we saw everything that we had planned to see, safely and in clear weather. I also left my passport and credit card at one of the hotels and they were able to schedule things to that I had it back in my hands within a few days. Our driver/guide was quite pleasant, very knowledgable, and made extraordinary efforts to make our safari all that we had hoped for. I recommend this company without any reservations whatsoever. Call me for verification of this review.

The Only Way To Safari
This amazing tour was tailored made to our interests (animals, culture, people), family ages (kids and adults), travel dates (during school vacation) with a great guide. Personal care and follow up were available at every stage by the organizers. We felt very pampered.

The most magical trip
Nature Responsible Safari got everything right! Tanzanian woman owned, conscious tourism, and the welcome could not have been warmer in every place we stayed. The accommodations and food were fantastic (being vegetarian was no issue whatsoever...in fact everything was vegan except the milk in our coffee). Compared to other companies I researched, the trip was very reasonably priced and we honestly can't imagine that it could have been any more luxurious than it was. Our guide, Heriel, was expertly patient in finding animals (and navigating traffic outside of parks) and we really enjoyed his company. We are not normally beach people but our 5 days in Zanzibar were equally magical, largely to the amazing places we stayed and the wonderful staff. We've only been home for 10 days but we are already dreaming about going back. Nature Responsible Safari clearly values building a connection with each individual client and we feel so lucky to have met them!

Eco-friendly safari tours lead by local experts
Nature Responsibly is an exceptional tour company that ensures that all resources are locally owned and managed by Tanzanians. Fransisca Masika, her family and the company’s staff were outstanding and super friendly hosts. All details, from our first email inquiry to plan the trip, to our arrival at the Arusha airport until our final farewell at the end of our 6 day safari were highly personalized and professional. This tour company focuses on their guests interests and experiences and builds your tour from your input and requests, unlike other tours we have done in the past. Accommodations were top notch, meals were delicious and plentiful and the hospitality from all other hotel staff along the way were of highest quality. By far, the most distinguished trait of Nature Responsibly are their exceptional safari tour guides. Our guide, Heriel had an impressive breadth of knowledge regarding ALL flora and fauna in the three national parks we visited. Even though it was the rainy season and the grasses were tall, we saw so many large cats, full prides, cubs, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, and multitudes of birds thanks to his strategic planning and expert planning. Moreover, our daily expeditions and impromptu discussions with our guide regarding all things Tanzania expanded our tour to also include the local ecosystems and cultural history. We would never have had access to this broad knowledge prior to this safari tour. We will definitely look to book with them again!

My 2nd trip with Nature Responsible Safari - and it won't be the last
I usually book my vacation well in advance. I booked this trip here at short notice to get a change from the European rainy weather ;-). The contact with the owner - Fransisca - was trustworthy and all questions were answered very quickly.
The trip took us from Tarangire NP via Lake Manyara to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide John has a lot of experience, patiently explained to us what we wanted to know and knew exactly when we needed to be where.
Once again Asante Sana to NRS

Go to Nature Responsible Safari for all your safari and east African travel needs!!!
I cannot recommend Nature Responsible Safari enough. Fran, the owner, and Heriel, our guide, gave us the safari experience of a lifetime in Tanzania and worked with us to accommodate our requests and answer all of our questions. 10/10. A++. And they do it all while taking steps to respect the environment that we all must share!
Anyone considering a safari in East Africa (or a Mt Kilimanjaro hike, or a beach trip to Zanzibar - all of which they can coordinate) should contact Nature Responsible Safari. I've never had a better interaction with anyone for any service in my life - it was that good. Getting to experience the Serengeti and other parks the way we visited was a top notch and awe inspiring experience for my family.
Thank you to the Nature Responsible Safari team!

Perfect organization, experienced safari guides - anytime again
I was picked up from the airport and taken to the accommodation "Haradali Homestay". It was a very nice welcome from the staff and the owners.
I spent a total of 5 days at the lodge, which were wonderful days - partly between visits to the national parks.
The guides from Nature Responsible Safari speak German and English and are very good at what they do.
Every evening there was a meeting for the next day. During the safari, a lot of consideration was given to the needs of European customers. And our guide (we were traveling with 3 jeeps) had a great sense of what to expect from the animals. For example, we watched a cheetah for almost 30 minutes. Our guide explained to us - take your time, let us wait here a little longer - something will happen. And so it was. We were the only ones who got to see the cheetah up close.
For me, this vacation was the best time - everything was perfectly organized - friends are now also interested in travelling with Nature Responsible - and I hope to see Fransisca and her whole team again soon
