Wild Root Safaris put together an excellent 6-day private safari for us!
My husband and I had an amazing time on our private 6-day safari! Mathew and his team put together a great itinerary for us as we got to experience a range of diverse habitats and see animals in different environments across the 4 places we visited (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara). It was the perfect amount of time and we were lucky enough to see 108 species of animals (75 of which were bird species), including the elusive black rhino! We even unexpectedly saw huge herds of wildebeest migrating on their way to Ngorongoro Crater.
Of course, we have to give an enormous amount of credit to our guide Hamisi, who was very knowledgeable and crucial to ensuring a positive safari experience. He had a great sense for where to find wildlife and could identify very quickly, as well as sharing a wealth of information about the animals and plants that we saw. We also had a great time just talking to him about his family and life in general during mealtimes.
The chosen accommodations exceeded our expectations and were very comfortable. Our favorite was the Serengeti Heritage Camp which allowed us to see animals from our tent and hear them all around us at dusk and in the evenings. The food throughout the trip was surprisingly good with quite a few options as well.
Overall, we had a wonderful safari and highly recommend Wild Root Safaris and Adventures to others. It was a trip of a lifetime and we would be thrilled to come back again!

My first safari of my life, must say i enjoyed it tremendouslyi enjoyed tremendously
This was my first trip to Africa, my first to Tanzania & my first in Serengeti.
I'm very glad that i was introduced to & went with Wild Root Safaris. They have given me a very good impression of safaris, Serengeti, Tanzania & Africa.
Everything they have promised, they've more than delivered, except that of the big five, we didn't manage to see a rhinoceros. Of course the company can't be held responsible for that - such is nature. And of course, we did see many many more other animals than the 4 of big 5.
We all found Hamisi, our guide, driver, spotter & game-knowledge-sharer, all thrown into one person, extremely helpful, accomodating, sharp, knowledgeable, witty & efficient. We'd like to commend Wild Roots for providing such a nice person to guide us. He had 2 books in the Land Cruiser to let us read more, if we so wished, while we bounced through the tracks of Serengeti. Hamisi also knew when we could check the tyre (pee in wild, near to vehicle, safely).
Accommodation & food were great, as promised. Mathew (presumably, or his staff) was always at hand to clarify when the need arose.
Thank you, Wild Roots & Mathew for the wonderful 3 days (this in retrospect is a little short) in Serengeti.

Fantastic Safari Experience with Wild Root Safaris
We had great experience with Wild Root Safaris! The manager Mathew tailor-made our trip according to our tight schedule, an unique experience with the informative driver Hamishi! We witnessed massive animals migration in Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater after 8 days trekking tour to Mt. Kilimanjaro⛰️! Money worth trip indeed! Thanks Wild Root Safaris for the arrangement and great service! Strongly recommended!

Exceeding expectations with experienced guides
Booked Wild Root for both the Kilimanjaro hike as well as the safari. A very hard slog on summit day but we managed to achieve 100% group success due hugely in part to the 200% support given by Wild Root guides and support staff. Special thanks to big mama, Lucia, my bro David Simba, Popstar Mweta Yanga, true warrior Masai Kenneth, Robert, Richard, Ezekiel and our personal supports Boney, Issac, Joy, etc. Of course, many thanks too to Matthew for all his assistance and help in making our trip a fantastic experience. Followed up with a great Safari experience too ( highlight definitely the Mara river crossing ) with Hussein n Mr Fantastic, who knew where to find the big 5 plus more.

Great experience with Wild Root Safaris
Mathew at Wild Root Safaris looked after our group of 8 really well during our trip. We did a day safari trip to Tarangire, and a 7 day trip to summit Mt Kilimanjaro using the Lemosho route. He was easy to communicate with before, during and after the trip, and his staff are great to work with - well experienced, kind, and always kept us safe. The food was also great during the trip! I highly recommend Wild Root Safaris, and would certainly choose them if we come to Tanzania again.

Perfect Safari Experience!
We just recently went on an 11 day excursion with Wild Root Safaris, visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.
We literally saw everything! Best experience imaginable! Each location provided a unique look at its animals and how they interact with their environments.
Mathew, our guide and friend, could not have been better! He took great care of us and was also extremely well organized!
There are quite a few reasons to pick Wild Root Safaris over anywhere else...
First, Mathew customized our trip exclusively for us. He was also able to change details on the fly, based on where the animals were located in the Serengeti, and depending on what we wanted to do that day. Super flexible!
Second, we saw the big five! And much more!
Finally, part of the proceeds go towards building schools in the local community of Arusha. (most safari companies don't do this)
Our trip was perfect! Thanks Mathew!
* also, travelling during Covid was not that difficult.

Remarkable capable person
Wild Root did a magnificent job accommodating our group up Kilimanjaro successful and safe. They were fun, informing and professional. The food was outstanding and plentiful. We could not have asked for better service. The sleeping arrangements were quality and comfortable. After Kili the safari was just as amazing. Our leaders knew exactly where to go to see the most incredible wildlife. Mathew even sent us to a wonderful spring to swim and lounge . Thst alone was priceless. Wild Root is 5 star by all means

Our tour operator was friendly, organized, and quick to respond with questions.
After years of dreaming, planning and training I decided it was time to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our small team searched for an outfitter that was right for us. Wild Root Safaris was that outfitter. They provided us with a detailed and quick response to our questions even though they were halfway around the planet. We originally were interested in just trekking, but discovered a safari was also affordable. There are certainly luxurious options out there, but that was not what we were looking for. Don’t be mistaken, we were treated very well... even spoiled in our experience. Being campers, climbers, and hikers we are used to carrying our own gear and preparing our own meals. Our guides and porters took care of everything. This allowed for us to concentrate on taking in the beauty of Tanzania while learning about local culture, language, and nature. Our meals were much more than expected, our tents were very comfortable, health and safety were never a concern for us. We had complete trust in our guides.
Later, on Safari, we enjoyed comfortable and clean hotels, wonderful meals, and drivers who took us to see the animal and plant wonders of Africa. A dream come true. I would love to go back and take my family on Safari.
