Exceptional Safari Experience at Ngorongoro Crater
5/5

My recent safari at Ngorongoro Crater was nothing short of extraordinary. The breathtaking landscape, combined with the rich diversity of wildlife, made for an unforgettable adventure.

**Scenery and Wildlife:**
The Ngorongoro Crater offers a stunning natural backdrop that feels almost surreal. The vast caldera, lush grasslands, and acacia forests create a perfect setting for wildlife viewing. During the safari, I had the privilege of witnessing a wide array of animals, including elephants, lions, rhinos, zebras, and countless bird species. The abundance and proximity of wildlife were truly remarkable.

**Guides and Staff:**
The guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about the environment and its inhabitants. Their expertise enhanced the experience, providing fascinating insights into animal behavior, ecology, and the history of the crater. The staff at the lodge were equally impressive, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming stay.

**Lodging and Amenities:**
The accommodation was top-notch, blending luxury with a sense of being close to nature. Comfortable rooms with spectacular views, delicious cuisine, and attentive service made the stay even more enjoyable. The lodge's commitment to sustainability and conservation efforts was also commendable.

**Special Acknowledgment:**
A special thanks to Charlie Richards, the director of Kilimanjaro Vikings, for organizing such a seamless and memorable safari. His dedication to providing an exceptional experience was evident in every detail, from the initial planning stages to the final moments of the trip. His passion for Tanzania's natural beauty and wildlife truly made this adventure stand out.

**Overall Experience:**
The safari at Ngorongoro Crater exceeded all my expectations. It offered an ideal blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. Whether you're a seasoned safari-goer or a first-timer, Ngorongoro Crater is a destination that should not be missed. I highly recommend this safari for anyone looking to experience the beauty and wonder of Africa's wildlife.

Exellent
5/5

The 3-days Tour was provided by Kilimanjaroi Vikings. A little scary in the beginning the voyage turned to be very nice on its way further. We started from visit to Kilimanjaro view place. That was good and quality hotel. Personnel was friendly and responsive. That's where we met with manager, reciedved instuctions about upcoming days and paid all cash in advance. Untill morning I was fighting a thought of being played. In the morning next day a driver and the manager showed up and all my worries disappeared. Vehicle was good (Land Cruiser) and the driver looked professional In his credit he'd already prepared water and mealboxes. So, within next 3 days we visited Taranguire NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara NP. We stayed in good hotels with good meals and personnel. Especially good was Ngorongoro Farm House. That place was mindblowing, just must-see one. The driver was just good in giving the tour information organizing meal. despite the drive was quite long we totally forgot about any inconveniance. Bottomline: I totally recommed Kilimnanjaro Vikings for Safari Tours.

A wonderful journey
5/5

Although it was my first safari in my life, I was able to do a very wonderful experience.
Exclusive cock, skilled guide and beautiful scenery and animals welcomed us.
On this tour we were able to see all safari BIG 5 [Elephant, Lion, Buffalo, Panther, Sai].
Also We were able to meet lucky things with Cheetah.
Safari at this time is a small rainy season, and there are many herbivorous animals.
Therefore, it is recommended because you can see lots of carnivores!
Also, although Tanzania is in the summer, a very pleasant wind is blowing and it was very comfortable.
The views of Serengeti and Ngorongoro are very beautiful.
On this trip I felt that I felt the majesty of nature with my own skin and I was touched very much.
Please give it a try.

Perfect Safari Tour! Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro 3N/4D
5/5

I had a great experience on each day.
We traveled with a driver/guide and a cook.
They were very experienced and friendly.

Thanks to Louis (Driver/Guide), we could see so many animals.
We found a rhino in Serengeti and many cars followed a rhino.
Louis decided to stop following the rhino so that we can find lions.
After that, we found many adult lions and their babies eating a buffalo.
We could see them very close so we could even feel the smell.

Thanks to Jimmy (Cook) , we enjoyed delicious food every day.
I will never forget that moment we had a breakfast in from of many zebras.

Highly recommended Company!!!!

Exciting and comfortable time
5/5

I spend amazing time with Kilimanjaro Vikings tour. It was second time to go to safari in my life, but this time was so exciting me. I could see many kinds of wild lives at close range! And a hired car was very comfortable and cheap, because they drove us to and from the airport. I would like to recommend this tour company to someone who goes to safari in Kilimanjaro.

Safai and Maasai village
5/5

I went to Ngorongoro and Maasai village with Kilimanjaro Vikings. This was my second safari with them, and everything was perfect as last time. The guide took many pictures of us in Maasai village, and explained about animals or environment so much. I'm sure I'll go to safari with them next time.
