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.

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.

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

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.

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 🐾

Individually oriented, authentic tour operator with its own paradisiacal lodge, 100% adventure.
We are a couple and booked a private 6 day safari tour with tented lodges. Nature Responsible Safari far exceeded our expectations. After being picked up at the airport by Heriel, a very polite, funny and experienced guide, we went directly to Nature Responsible Safari's own lodge, which is a paradise with a tasteful garden with avocado, mango, coffee and papaya plants and its own pool with a cozy sitting area (breakfast in the garden). It immediately gave us a unique vacation feeling before the safari started the next day. Our tour went via Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park. Our guide Heriel knew every corner and patiently showed us all the animals that could be found there and gave us very interesting explanations about the animal world and the Maasai people ( Heriel is an encyclopaedia and kept us entertained throughout). Even if we drove a little longer, which is normal on a safari, we never got bored due to the rich conversations. We saw all the big five up close (right next to the car), unforgettable moments. We can definitely recommend Nature Responsible to anyone looking for something individual and private with a lot of charm (this also applies to the good selection of lodges).

Perfect
We booked our safari in Tanzania directly with Nature Responsible Safari without going through a travel agency.
Fransesca gave us excellent advice on how to organize our safari, and was very good at choosing accommodation to suit our needs.
We were able to enjoy the great migration in the Serenguiti Park.
Before and during our safari, she was always available by message and e-mail and always answered our questions very quickly.
Our guide, Steve, was fluent in French and very knowledgeable about the parks.
Fransesca was able to adapt three weeks before our scheduled departure to a one-day change in the Safari departure time, all at no extra charge.
We wholeheartedly recommend this agency for organizing a safari in Tanzania.

Serious, flexible and friendly people
I highly recommend to book a safari with Nature Responsible Safari. The tour organized was very interesting and we had the opportunity to meet locals and experience the country outside to usual tracks. Our guide for the week was perfect and informed us about the habits and practices in the country including those of the Masai tributes. The lodges booked for us were perfect and very comfortable.
The manager, Fransisca is a very friendly person and was very helpful, flexible and responsive when preparing the safari. By booking with this company, you support not only African people but also an African business woman.
My daughter and I had very nice experience of Africa thanks the support of this company.

Great 6 day safari!
We really enjoyed our safari with Nature Responsible Safari. It is one of the few safari companies in Tanzania that is owned by women. Our guides were amazing and the accomodations that we stayed in were also perfect. We started in Moshi and first did the Materuni Waterfalls, then we did 1 day Tarangire, 2 days Serengeti, 1 day Ngorongoro and 1 day Lake Manyara. It was the perfect trip, we got to see the main national parks and had enough time to see a lot of animals. 100% recommend!
