Fran and Shomvi were incredibly responsive in building a wonderful trip to our wants/needs.
Nature Responsible Safari first stood out to me for how responsive Fran was to all questions ahead of time. She was terrific at providing various pricing options (different parks, shared room, private vs group, etc) to meet our budget, and always followed up to make sure we were comfortable with our decisions. Once the safari began, our driver, Shomvi, provided the same kind of service, always making sure that we were happy and comfortable. And the lodges we stayed at were absolutely fantastic, even more so when considering that we set up the safari with a limited budget in mind. I highly recommend Nature Responsible Safari Co.

Wunderschöne spannende Safari mit einem tolle Team
It all started with a recommendation for Francisca's company in a forum about East Africa on Facebook. Upon direct request, we received a proposal for what we should do for the period announced by and as well as the expected costs. After several adjustments, which Francisca carried out quickly and reliably, we transferred the entire price. After about a week, Francisca received confirmation that the money had been received.
From the pick-up from the airport to the entire transport, the wonderful camps and the support from the excellent driver and guide, everything worked perfectly. Francisca was always available to answer questions via phone and WhatsApp.
We trusted Francisca from the start and were not disappointed. We can Nature Responsible Safari Company
unreservedly recommend.

Great experiens
Everything was well organised. From the pick up service at the airport to drop down sevice on our departure.
We started our tour in Moshi. We were visiting a project about Female Genital Mutilation which was hard but also wonderful to see what they do.
On our way to untouristic Mkomazi we had a chagga tour which was also interesting.
Mkomazi landscape was amazing. I’ve enjoyed Mkomazi very much especially the elefant Population we saw and the rhinos.
We had a long drive to Serengeti with stops in Arusha and Lake Natron. We drove through breathtaking landscapes, we had picknick in breathtaking landscapes bevore we arrived in Serengeti NP. We had lovely accomodations on our whole tour. But sleeping under Canvas in Serengeti NP was amazing.
We were lucky to see Lions, Leopards, a cheetah hunt and not to forget two river crossings!
Our drivers had eyes like an eagle and were able to explain not only the animals also birds.
We also went to beautiful Tarangire. Beautiful landscape and great wild elephant show. They were playing joyfully in the water.
Thanks a lot to our drivers Deo, Edson and Gustav! You‘ve made our trip great.
A special thanks to Francisca and Said. You made my stay like feeling at home.
It was lovely to meet you guys

Wonderful experience for our family holiday with Nature Responsible Safari
Close your eyes and start dreaming, Francisca will do the rest!
Communication with Francisca has always been smooth and efficient, either through email or whatsApp. She really understood what we wanted and she offered a tailor-made itinerary that suited our family perfectly. We had the privilege of visiting Tanzania with a very competent guide: Heriel. He was even able to speak very good French. Heriel, you're a star!
Our experience has far exceeded our expectations and we can highly recommend Nature Responsible Safari.

Highly recommend Nature Responsible Safari!
Fransisca was super patient with all our questions and arranged a fantastic itinerary. Emanuel, our guide, was very knowledgeable and a pleasure. We saw a ton of amazing wildlife and treated to a taste of local culture, all in a respectful, 'soft-footprint' manner. Our 12-day trip absolutely exceeded our expectations. Nature Responsible Safari Company is top notch!

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.

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!

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.
