Well organised and nice schedule for the different parks
We did an 6 day safari, it was well organised with the tents and transportation. Communication with the manager was easy as well because I had an Tanzania simcard so we could call.
Only minor was that we had to pay in cash which was a bit difficult because we were already in Tanzania when we received that information.

My Avocet Safari was truly a great deal.
I booked through Mohji.com and the Safari was through Avocet. I've been all over the world with many tour companies and Avocet was one of the best I've experienced. The owner Jeff is very personable and professional. He went out of his way to help with any questions I had. He even bought me a beer after the safari was over and dropped me and another client off at a local restaurant for dinner in Arusha. What more could I ask for? The safari itself was truly great. I highly recommend going to the Serengeti/Ngorongoro. You will never forget it! Avocet included transport to and from the airport, and a nice clean basic hotel room before and after the safari. Go for it!

2 days safara Lake Manyara and Ngorogoro Crater
All went very well from the pick up at the airport (Jeff made our schedule very easy despite our last minute change) until the end of the safari. Car was comfortable, guides were friendly and experienced. Food was good and accommodation (camping) was much higher than our expectations (private tent with own bathroom, mosquito net...). The national parks are amazing and the driver/guide was able to drive us very close to wild animals, always ensuring our security at the same time.
I definitely recommend Avocet Tanzania Safaris for safari tours as it is great value for money.
Thank you very much

The Most Perfect Safari Experience
I did a 5 day Budget Camping Safari in the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and ngorongoro crater with Avocet. I don't want to mislead anyone by pumping up expectations but this was by far the best safari I have ever gone on (and I've been on a lot). I think the time of year I went was part of it, it was before the rainy season but it wasnt dry so the grass was green and short enough to see animals, it was also not super super hot out which means the animals were active and walking around, there were hardly any other tourists around. The main thing though, was our driver/guide Oze (ask for him if you can) was by far the coolest and best guide I've ever had. He really went way out of his way to make sure we saw what we wanted. The whole time I was very vocal about caring most about cheetahs and he was chasing them down for us. He was super knowledgeable and great to hang out with for a week and just overall a great guy. He had eagle eyes and was spotting leopards half a kilometer away in a tree. Three of the days were in the Seregenti and this is what we saw in total-
56 Lions, 9 Cheetahs, FOUR leopards, FOUR Rhinos, and too many of everything else to count.
The whole experience thru Avocet was perfectly organized and ran like clockwork. Jeff who was my point of contact was very in touch and easy to get a hold of, and he greeted me at my hotel and saw me off at the end to make sure I was happy. The campsite was for real camping, no fences, nothing, you literally sleep in the middle of the serengeti, at night Zebras, Buffalo and Elephants may pay you a visit! The Landcruiser we were in was so cool and rugged, it was a real authentic African Safari experience. You literally couldn't pay thousands of dollars more and have a better experience, this was as good as it gets!!!!

Well aranged safari, with experienced guide and human touch
The guide knew what he was doing, knew where to go for good spotting. Communication with Jeff was good, he kept us up to speed and offered alternatives if needed. We were well taken care of with good lunch and a human touch... Jeff was clear about the teams of our booking and explained everything very clearly. Only minus:you have to pay in cash...

Fantasitc, start to finish
I can't recommend Avocet enough, from start to finish we were looked after brilliantly. Out driver/Guide edgar was top class, as was our cook Hadji - no complaints at all about the food, it was fantastic. Edgar went to great lengths to make sure we got to see all of the 'BIG 5' - I cant find fault with any of the trip or Avocet - 5 stars....

Over and Above Expectations
We used Avocet for our safaris in Feb, 2017 and they were fantastic! We went to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, the entire experience was incredible! Our guide was great and the owner, Jeff, went above and beyond expectations to take care of us. I accidentally left a shirt in a vehicle and he was able to track it down and had a man meet me at the airport to get it back, I was very thankful for this! We highly recommend Avocet!!!

Avocet were very responsive and accommodating with our specific requests and needs.
Communication with Avocet was mostly through email, and their response was always very prompt. We specified our requirements and they tried their best to cater accordingly. The game drives were wonderful, more so because of the enthusiastic drivers/ guides. We had requested moderately comfortable accommodation, not basic or luxury, and we were provided exactly that. Overall our experience was wonderful, and I would recommend Avocet to others.

The greatest experience In my life
I had the greatest time. Good organization, quality/price is good. I was alone in a group of six. We had very nice moments. The driver Victor was excellent, he could see every hidden animal. The chef , doctor Charls cooks really good. They take good care of all group. I am very satisfied with my experience. I will give to my friends the information of this same safari. Totally recommended.
