Great attention to detail!
Booked a 2 day Safari with Avocet this past January. Jeff was very professional and made sure the booking went smoothly with everything involved during the Safari. I highly recommend Avocet Tanzania Safaris!

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!!!!

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.

Best personalised safari experience
We went with Avocet Safaris as they provided a personalised itinerary based on what we liked and wanted to visit. This is something that was really important to us. They were also really flexible. It was a two-way communication approach instead of a company stuffing a package to us.
Jeff, the MD, is also really kind and took care of us since Day 1.
The price is reasonable, the food is amazing, the tour guide is knowledgable but most importantly, the experience was authentic yet safe. Thank you Jeff for everything. We hope to return soon.

Great organization, costumised tours, very nice and helpful staff.
This August Avocet Tanzania organised for me a three days safari (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangerine). Everything was just amazing! The accommodations were just as I expected, the driver was excellent and very nice. They picked me at the bus station and took me to the hotel, after the safary they drove me to the airport so they nice and helpful. I strongly recommend this organization for everybody. Thank you again Jeff!

Very nice, pleasant and perfectly organised 4 days safari with Avocet Tanzania Safaris
We made a 4 days safari with 3 people in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro-Ngoro beginn of April 2016 and enjoyed Avocet Tanzania Safaris' services. Avocet was very responsive from the first contact and perfectly organized the safari, including transfer from/to Dar es Salam and thanks to our friendly and competent guide Peter we made a pleasant safari and enjoyed all highlights despite the relatively short duration.

4 Day Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
My partner and I were very lucky to have had such a wonderful and memorable experience with Avocet, despite some passengers who did not bring an appropriate level of courtesy and respect for the experience.
Our driver and chef made for a really great experience - they were friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer questions about the things we saw or would expect to see.
