Everything I wanted out of an African safari and more.
The three parks we visited were very different ecologically. First was Tangire where we saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests. Next was Ngorogoro Crater where we saw hippos, lions, jackals, hyenas, and rhino. Last day was Lake Manyara where we saw groups of baboons. I recommend visiting a Massai village.

Great trip with Quest Horizon!
We were very happy with Quest safaris, who organised a great trip for us to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in September, on short notice. Naiman came to meet us at our lodge in Arusha to discuss the details beforehand, and also after to get our feedback - a nice touch. Our guide Rasheed was very knowledgeable and also a great spotter - in 3 days we saw 59 lions! We also saw the rest of the big 5! It was really unbelieveable! We stayed in a tent, budget safari, which was very exciting and plenty comfortable. The cook Pius made great food - my wife is a vegetarian, and I eat meat, but he catered for us both. The Land Cruiser was a bit old, but still comfortable, and actually outdrove the newer models on the steep hills up from Serengeti. Very good value for money on our trip. Serengeti is a must-see, and I can strongly recommend Quest Horizon!!! We hade 3 nights/4 days - and opted to maximize the time in Serengeti. In Ngorongoro and Tarangire half a day is enough, but do try to have a full day in Serengeti.

Reliable Partner for private safari in Tanzania - great experience guaranteed
We went on private 12-days safari with Quest Horizon in September 2017. The itinerary covered northern Tanzania: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti and North Serengeti. We had a wonderful time, everything was perfectly arranged and we could fully focus on enyoying the nature. Recommended lodges and camps were great and food was really outstanding. We saw amazing nature scenes and lots of animals from pretty close distance - inluding big 5 of course. Our guide Fadhili was very engaged and thanks to his friendliness and sense of humor we had a lot of fun together. Fully recommended!

The staff is really nice and have lots of knowledge on the animals and nature in general. The food is also very good.

A wonderful safari that gives you memories for life.
I have an incredibly nice and rewarding 5 day safari with Quest Horizon Safaris. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He had a great photo interest and found the perfect angles and places to see the different animals of the savannah. In the end we managed to see Big 5 and we were incredibly finding memories to take home. We did a private trip and slept in tents through the trip.

Amazing Team !
With a group of friends we did three safaris (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire) and the Kilimandjaro. We had an amazing time with the staff. They are very flexible to make the experience the way you want it to be ! The food was excellent and our guide were perfect.
Absolutely nothing bad to say, we had a blast !

More than just a safari
During my stay in Africa, I went with six friends on several safaris (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) with this company and I cannot recommend it enough. The guides know what they are doing, they lead you to the best places to see animals but they also listen to you when you want to go somewhere else. The cooks are incredible and the food is delicious.
At the end of day, the staff at Quest Horizon Safaris were more friends than staff members!

An unforgettable Safari organised by a superb team
Hard to fault anything about this trip. Naiman was super communicative and was very flexible when we had to change our dates. The airport pick up went seamlessly. The accomodation recommended and booked was good and very comfortable. We stayed a night at Mount Meru in Arusha at the start of our trip which had a lovely pool and gardens. That evening Hajid our guide came to meet us to introduce himself and discuss our safari. A nice touch. He arrived punctually the next morning and was a safe driver who was very good company answering lots of questions along the way. We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The Ngorongoro Farm Lodge was sublime. Beautiful big rooms, fantastic food and beautiful well kept grounds and pool with a wonderful welcome. Angata Tented Camp was an unforgettable experience with good food, attentive staff and listening to the animals at night in the surrounding wilds from a super comfortable bed. Impressively we even had a proper flushing ensuite toilet and hot shower!
The real hero of the trip has to be our guide Hajid. He went over and above our expectations. He found everything we wanted to see and more. He took us to great spots to view the great migration and in our comparatively short trip he found us around 25 lions, 3 cheetahs, rhinos, a wildebeest giving birth, lions mating, hippos, hyenas making short work of a carcass, jackals, bat eared foxes and any number of birds. Even before we even entered any of the parks he found great herds of giraffes and it was not just the animals. When I expressed some curiosity about the metal discs at the end of tree trunks being transported by a lorry, he stopped to ask why they did this (prevents termites). He told us so much about local life and also took us to visit a Masai Village which was interesting though a bit expensive - bargain heavily if you buy anything. The beaded item I bought for US$4.00 started out at US$30!
On our last day we were taken to the Coffee Lodge in Arusha for lunch. It was a very good meal and a nice way to end our trip. Naiman's brother came to get feedback which I thought showed how good this company is and how much they care that their clients are fully satisfied.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Quest. Their quote came in as the cheapest quote on Safaribookings.com but in no way was this reflected in the quality of service, standards of accommodation and it was really great value for money.

Unforgettable
The trip lasted 8 nights in total. Emanuel was waiting for us at the Kilimanjaro airport when we arrived. He took us to Christina House for the first night. There they treated us first class. The food, typical of the place, was very rich. We went to the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Serengeti. In the serengeti we stayed at the tented camp Serengeti Heritage for four nights. It is in the middle of the serengeti, surrounded by animals that pass meters away from you. To leave the tent it is necessary to warn the guard by means of a walkie-talkie to escort you to the dining room. At night all animals are heard and very close. The attention in the tented camp is exceptional. The food very good. The great migration is a unique spectacle. Then we went back to Arusha for the last night where Emanuel took us to eat typical barbecue from there, spectacular. The truck is a very comfortable Land Cruiser, there is plenty of space for the legs and has a refrigerator to store water and beer. It has a lifting roof so you have a 360 view. As for Emanuel, our guide, I only have words of thanks. Always smiling and well predisposed to everything we asked. He showed us all the animals we asked for (including the big five) and explained in detail the behavior, feeding, etc. of each of them. When the safari was over, he took us to have a few beers in a pantry (that only guides or locals go) in the Serengeti watching the sun go down, incredible. We were able to see lion and cheetah hunts. Lions mating. I will definitely go back and ask that the guide be emanuel again. Thank you very much.

10d Tarangire Manyara Serengeti Ngorogoro migration private couple. Fabulous highly recommended.
Fabulous and recommended to everyone we know. During enquiries Naiman was excellent and responded quickly and accurately, arranging our tour according to our preferences. We wanted to visit the major parks but also catch the migration during a river crossing which was in N Serengeti during our visit. Payment of deposit directly with follow up completion is ok and worked.
Accomodation was at Tanganyika lodges which exceeded our expectations and was excellent value for money. Food at lodges very good and reasonable prices for alcoholic drinks too. Packed lunches decent. No hot drinks or table cloth for lunch, fine by us, just bring a flask and fill up in the morning.
We had a private couple tour due to our preferred itinerary. Highly recommended as Steve our tour guide and driver could tailor the entire experience to us. Vehicle was the standard long Landcruiser, same as every other tour, except it didn't have fripperies such as phone charging points for each guest. Fine by us! The vehicle was reliable, we even helped pull out another tour's vehicle which got stuck.
Steve is very experienced and was lovely and perfectly pitched throughout. He just knew the land and the animals and knew when to wait and when to move on.
Parks were superb, loved Tarangire and Serengeti central and north. Would love to return to west and south.
Price wise this company is competitive compared to others for similar products and delivers an excellent experience in the animals, accomodation and overall safari enjoyment.
