We could not expect a better service than what Nature Responsible Safari Company provided us.
It is often said that a safari greatly depends on the quality of the safari company; and Nature Responsible Safari Company is definitely the responsible for the memorable success of our 12 days safari tours in Northern Tanzania. I am also adding that a great company is due to a great manager and Fransisca is that one. From the first contact, through all the planning process, up to the welcome at arrival everything was made by Fransisca to make our holidays being at the best.
During the preparation phase Fransisca continuously made her best to understand my wishes and propose me a program that suits them. She was proactive, as I asked for a canoe safari on Manyara Lake, she checked the water level was sufficient, then came back to me with another alternative at Arusha NP. She also proposed me several options with different prices.
At arrival, she came to meet us at the hotel in Arusha prior to leave for the safari trip. She even offered us some Masai sheet!
Our guide was highly experienced and able to spot animals from far. He clearly understood we were not there for rushing from one spot to another and could spend 1 hour or more at same place as long as the spectacle there has worth.
I can only recommend Nature Responsible Safari Company to everyone.

not a single remark, absolutely perfect!
We just returned from a one week private safari through Northern Tanzania. We had our doubts at first about booking directly in Tanzania bit it was the best choice ever to do so. Communication with Fransisca (owner) is very fast and clear and all our wishes were included in the program. Also her suggestions for lodges and hotels were all very well. Our guide (Edson) has joined us from pickup at the airport untill drop-off. He has an amazing sight to spot wild from a distance that was even hard for us with binoculars. Next to that he makes sure that everything is arranged in terms of checking in into the lodges, lunches etc. Our overall experience exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend Nature Responsible Safari Company to everybody!

Excellent Experience | Budget Safari
Fransisca at Nature Responsible Safari organized a 5 star safari trip for us at a 2 star price. Not only was the safari and accommodation PERFECT, but the best part (speaking as a seasoned budget traveler) was that she took care of every last detail. No bus transfers or haggling about prices with the lodge - literally everything was set-up in advance, without a hitch. Her staff also took excellent care of us on the road, catering to my ridiculous food allergies and requests to stop and take photos every other minute! I highly recommend NRSC for all travelers!
Safari Bagamoyo, Selous national park, Morogoro, Dar es Salaam
Because we had planned a working vacation in The Baobab Home in Bagamoyo we asked NRSC to organize for us a tour. During our preparation we asked Francisca, very many changes in our itinerary. She was always very quick in answering our e-mails and gave good suggestions. Francisca showed to be flexible travel agent, always willing to help and finally able to put our ideas into reality. We met her in Bagamoyo a few days before we started our trip. She clearly showed interest in her travelers before, during, and after the trip.
The 6 days trip, from Bagamoyo to Selous Game Reserve and via Morogoro back to Dar es Salaam, with the excellent driver/guide Omari had excellent lodges, the time schedule was good and we had enough time to enjoy the country side and the game drives. The trip was therefore fully according to our wishes, although the Land Cruiser could have been a bit better.

Individual, very well organized safari with overwhelming impressions - perfect for family with kids.
I met Francisca, a very pleasant lady on ITB in Berlin. She offered us (family with 2 boys, 7 + 11) an individual safari tour to Mikumi and Ruaha NP with personal driver, to a very reasonable price. Every special requests and wishes were fast and competent implemented. Communication was always quick and precise. The driver was very experienced, emphatic and safari with him and the landcruiser jeep was an adventure. For our boys it was an unforgettable experience. The lodges we stayed (Stanleys Kopje and Ruaha River Lodge) were perfectly located and luxurious. Staff was very friendly, food delicious and just sitting there watching the scenery was magnificent.
We can definitely recommend and we will definitely come back!

We are more than a Safari Company
Many thanks to Fransisca, the owner of Nature Responsible Safari Company who helped me prepare every step of arranging the Safari. Fransisca always replied quickly, very friendly and offered multiple options. After several questions, possibility and deliberation we decided to go on a 9-day safari to visit Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Natron and Manyara. She was always prompt in her reply and Fransisca helped me to prepare every step of this safari with a competitive price. She also arranged our flying doctors insurance.
Edson was our guide/driver. Edson knew how and where to find the actions. We saw the Big 5 and also leopard, cheetah rhino and many elephants, lions besides zebra, gnoe, etc. Edson helped us with birdwatching as well and we saw many many interesting birds. He spoke perfect English, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient and polite and above all a safe driver. We had a lot of fun.
We had a great time and it was an awesome experience.
The service was perfect. From the first pickup at the airport , back to the dropoff after a spectaculair Safari. I would do it again if I have a change.
We can recomment Nature Responsible Safari as a very professional, reliable and flexible agency. Everything was arranged perfectly from the beginning to the end. We did appreciate Fransisca personally visiting us upon arrival and before departure Tanzania. It was beyond our expectations.
As Fransisca says: "We are more than a Safari Company"

Perfect Tanzanian honemoon
We decided that the perfect honeymoon for us would be a destination that combined adventure and relaxation. After much research we chose Tanzania as our destination as we felt a safari followed be a relaxing beach hotel in Zanzibar would be the ideal combination.
I emailed several safari operators regarding possible itineraries and prices and from day 1 I was impressed by Nature responsible safari. Fransisca always replied quickly, was friendly, offered multiple options and importantly was competitively priced. After much deliberation we decided on a 6 night safari that took in Lake Manyara, Tarangirie, Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater.
From the moment we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport everything went smoothly. Our fantastic driver / guide Deo met us at the airport and drove us to Arusha where we stayed at Kibo palace overnight. Fransisca personally came and met us at Kibo Palace which was a lovely touch and gave us some Maasai blankets as gifts to keep us warm on evening safaris. Kibo palace is a lovely hotel and we were treated to a free room upgrade.
We loved every aspect of our safari and each location was different allowing as to get a real mixture of experiences. We saw lions, leopards, hippos, cheetahs, wilderbeast, antelope, crocodile, buffalo, rhino, giraffe, zebra, wart hog, hyaena, elephant and jackals to name but a few. The hotels we stayed at - Kibo Palace, Serengti Sopa and Eileens tree were without exception perfect bases.
Our guide / driver Deo was fantastic. He spoke perfect English, was extremely knowledgeable, a very safe driver and was friendly and polite. On several occasions he went the extra mile staying out for longer than some other companies giving us extra chance to see wildlife.
We would recommend Nature responsible safari company to anyone. They were faultless and went above and beyond even helping us to arrange our flying doctors insurance and transfers in Zanzibar.
We would love to return to witness the great migration and will be certain to use this company again.

Outstanding first safari experience
We were a group of 4 people thereof 1 in a wheelchair. As we didn't know if a safari with a handicaped person really works we were a little bit afraid when starting the safari. But thanks to the good preparation of NRSC it was an outstanding experience for us: everything was perfectly organised! The lodges were very comfortable and people extremely attentive. Our driver was very experienced and supportive and adapted the daily program to our specific needs whenever it was necessary. Everything Fransisca and her team promised came more than true - it was our first safari, but hopefully not our last (of course only with NRSC!)!
