A fabulous safari ever!
Myself and three other friends enjoyed safari in Tarangile, Serengeti, Lake Manyara. The guide and the chef who were with us were totally kind and gave us excellent services!
The guide tried really hard to look for animals all the time and we so all big fives which were available in our locations. Two leopards, five cheaters, and a lot and los of lions, elephants, buffaloes!
Accomodations we stayed were ok. we are totally satisfied with the cost we paid for this unforgettable experience.

Great 3 day safari
Following our climb up Kilimanjaro with another Company, we decided to do a 3 day, 2 night safari with Kili vikings, visiting Tarangire national park, Lake Manyara national park and Ngorogoro crater reservation area. We met Charlie in Moshi the day before the safari to settle payment and sort details. Charlie was very nice and informative, and lead us through our options for the safari since the group we were meant to go with from Moshi had cancelled. In the end we joined a couple going from Arusha, and had to pay an additional $50 to get to the airport after the safari which had previously been included in the price. We also had to pay an extra 5% to pay by card, which hadn't been mentioned in our email correspondence. So we were slightly disappointed by these extra fees, but paid them, tried to forget about them and looked forward to the safari!
On safari we had a great time and saw a huge array of wildlife. We stayed in small huts in the evening near lake Manyara at a site called panorama camp, which had excellent views. We left our bags there during the days. The hot food provided in evenings and for breakfast was good. The packed lunches could have been slightly better, but in such great surroundings it was difficult to be unhappy. Our driver was very well informed and didn't struggle with any of our questions. His English was also very good. Our only criticism was that we often had to ask questions to get information from him, rather than him offering it voluntarily. The safari car was in decent shape with new seats and water was provided throughout the trip. Each day we did a full day safari, with our driver being very good at spotting animals, as well as listening to the radio to track down the more rare sights. Highlights included cheetahs, Lions (metres away from our vehicles), Elephants and Rhinos.
After the safari we were dropped at the airport in good time to catch our flight home. Overall we had a great time, and were very close to giving a 5 star score, but felt like the experience did have room for improvement, if only slightly.

I experienced a great trip for a fair price.
The communication with our tour guide was simple and good, he knows good english. The accomodation was simple, clean and enjoyable. On the safari tour our guide asked for our wishes and always knew where to go for seeing animals.

2 days safari
We booked a 2 days safari. On the first day we went to the serengeti and later that day we arrived at a lodge where we spent the night. On the second day we starded early for the drive to the ngorogoro crater. And it was beautiful! We saw many different animals. I can truly recommend to go there. The whole trip was well organized, and the guide hade a gode knowledge about the areas and the animals.

We enjoyed so much with our gentole guide!!
We went to 3 days safari ( Tarangire N.P. / Ngorongoro C.A. / Lake Manyara N.P. ). Our guide explained in detail in English or Swahili language. ( I can understand Swahili as i live in Tanzania as a volunteer. But his English was perfect.) We are satisfied with this safari with Kilimanjaro Vikings so much. Our guide always took care of us, and dealed with our requests that we wanted to see any animals. We thought our guide was so professional as he didn't even count the tip we gave in front of us. We felt so comfortable about it.

BEST company for Safari!!!

The director Charlie arranged all process politely for us. So we had just fun at ease.

This is TZ!!
I had an unforgettable experience with this company in Mother Nature of Tanzania!!!
I went to Ngorongoro CA and Serengeti NP for three days though the director of this company, Charlie, hesitated to receive three-day safari to Serengeti because of tight schedule.
He kindly explained the itinerary to me, and recommended four days instead of three days.
But i had no choice but three days because of my friends' schedule.
He is such a nice director that he suggested anything better.
On my first day, it was too foggy that i couldn't see the crater from Simba Campsite on the rim.
I worried that i couldn't see many animals because of fog.
But it was totally fine in the crater as my guide said ''must be fine down there'' at the campsite.
He was right, and i was impressed by his much experiences.
He answered every question i had, found many kinds of animals, of course explained about animals and nature in Tanzania. He is not only a good and experienced guide but also a good driver.
Plus what made me pleased was food which my chef cooked at the campsite.
I enjoyed every meal!! Especially the bread he baked at the campsite was the best one in my life!!!
I couldn't believe that he baked it there untill he said ''yes'' to my answer.
I really appreciate this company to take me to safari with those perfect guide and chef!!
Everything was good, perfect, great!!
I strongly recommend everyone this company, Kilimanjaro Vikings!!
I'm pretty sure you never regret!!

Great Safari 3days!!!
We went to Serengeti N.P. and Ngorongoro C.A. for 3days on November in 2015. We could see BIG5 clearly at both of them and it was so amazing they were so close to us. We felt that our guide tried to let us see BIG5 and other animals, and we enjoyed every meal which our chef cooked for us, and which we liked the taste so much. Everything was perfect and we're satisfied with 3days with Kilimanjaro Vikings!
