Fantastic safari experience! Great communication and value
We spent a lot of time trying to decide which company to choose for our safari in Tanzania, and I am so happy that we decided on Nature Responsible Safari. We spent a week in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and had the best time. Great itinerary and excellent choice of accommodations, at a fair price - better than other quotes I received. Our safari guide John was very knowledgeable, and also a really cool, fun person.
We just happened to come across Nature by searching for a very particular combination of location to visit and starting date. Safaris are generally expensive, and so I was a little hesitant at first, because other companies had thousands of reviews, however, from the first contact, Fransisca seemed so genuinely nice and inspired a lot of trust - in a way that other companies didn't. So I decided to go ahead and book. Communication before our trip was always timely and bank transfers went smoothly.
Once we arrived at Haraladi's Home in Arusha we were greeted with a level of hospitality that I've rarely experienced in my travels. I couldn't really explain why, but everyone was so laid-back, nice and accommodating - all in a very genuine way. You feel so welcomed as part of their family even just for a little while, and you don't feel like just another customer. At that point, we knew we were in good hands, and the week that followed turned out to be one of our greatest travel experiences ever. We saw so so SO many animals...
I'm very happy with the choice that I've made and to anyone is reading this and feels unsure, I can say with great confidence that you won't regret picking Nature for your safari 🐾

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.

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.
