Our operator was very accommodating to what we wanted to experience.
We had a 10 day safari experience…It was amazing! Freddy was our guide. We were really fortunate that elephants and other animals were out in force- we saw tons of animals, especially elephants up close. Freddy was really good at spotting animals at a long distance and was patient as we wanted to stay and watch for a long time.
We chose the option to stay in lodges instead of camping. We were very comfortable and well fed everywhere we went. Our favorite was the Tortilus property in Tarangire- which was Glamping. We heard lions at night- it was pretty cool.
One thing- some of the lodges don’t have power all night long. If you use a CPAP and want to depend on it, make sure you mention that when making your plans so they book you in accommodations with power all night.

Knowledgeable and fun!
Wonderful company! I did a 5 day safari with them and it was an all around great experience. Loreta and company arranged everything from airport pick up to airport drop off. My safari guide Freddie is a gem. Not only did he know so much from 20 years experience, he has a great personality and caters to what you want to do. My only advice is do not cheap out on accommodations as it is well worth the money and take a good camera for the safari.

great experience
We booked a trekking tour to mount meru for 4 days and a 5 day safari with greg adventures, and it all went perfectly. We got picked up at arusha airport in the middle of the night and had the opportunity to rest in villa poa before starting our trekking tour. We came in to a very friendly and family-like atmosphere.
We met judith with which we planned our trip via email from home, she explained us the stops for the next days and spontaneously took us for a sightseeing tour to arusha and to masai market where she helped us bargain for the best prices.
Our trekking to mount meru was spectacular, our guide was very competent and on the way down we even did some walking safari where we saw some elephants, flamingos, giraffes and buffalo. We had a private cook who spoiled us with fresh cooked meals, tea and popcorn.
A day after coming back to the home like villa poa, we started for a 5 day driving-safari (1 day tarangire, 1 day lake manyara, 2 days serengeti and 1 day ngorongoro), we slept for two nights in a tented camp and 3 nights in a nice big tent which we built up together with our guide. The guide knew every place in the parks and always had a joke up his hand. We saw all the animals, that you can hope for, including a lot of wild cats.
And we have to mention the safari-cook who did an amazing job.
We ended our experience with greg adventures with the transport to the airport. All in all, we really enjoyed our time, everything went smoothly and the price-performance-ratio was more then good. We can recommend planning your adventure in tanzania with greg adventures, special thanks to judith, loreto, freddy and abdu.

perfectly organised safari
All organided by Gregadventures, it started with a pickup at the airport. The next morning we took a small plane to the Serengeti where our driver/guide Freddy was waiting for us. After the Serengeti we went to the Ngorongoro crater and then got brought back to the airport for a trip to Zanzibar where we stayed a few days before going back home. Thank you Greg,Loreta and Freddy for this perfectly organised safari.

Efficient, attentive and honest.
Renatus at Greg Adventures organised a 3 day safari for us in Nyerere National Park. From the provision of the quote to being dropped off at our hotel in Zanzibar after the safari it was superb. Greg's quote was lower than two other companies we approached. During planning Renatus was responsive and helpful, always replying quickly to emails. For the first two days our guide was Bugusa. He had a truly deep knowledge of the wildlife and could read the mood of various animals. This meant, for example, that we could get very close to some elephants (and got our car bumped by a baby elephant). The bird life in the Park is wonderful and Bugusa knew all the species. Renatus had given us an honest assessment of what we might and might not see and it proved accurate. Lots of elephant, a good range of grazing animals and monkeys, no lion or leopard but very close to hunting dogs and crocodiles. On the river trip our guide was Omar. He also knew all the wildlife and we appreciated talking to both Bugusa and Omar about aspects of life and farming for the local people. They were both also good company. It was especially helpful that we could leave a large suitcase in Zanzibar while we were on safari. If we were doing the trip again we would have paid the supplement for better accommodation. The camp we were in was very friendly but the huts were very basic and the lights were too weak to allow us to read after dark.

Well Organized Professional Safari
Me and my friend met Greg on the beach in Zanzibar and he told me about all the great options for safari in Tanzania and mentioned he had a safari company based in Arusha. We decided that we could not leave Tanzania without doing a safari so we decided to book one through Greg. We flew to Arusha where he picked us up and then took us to some comfortable accommodation that he also manages before starting our safari the next day. The safari was wonderful, two days one night in Tarangire national park, and it exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend booking with Greg. He has all the details figured out and things ran so smooth, no stress and we had a great time!

Fantastic Safari with Greg Adventures!
Everything was perfectly organised and we felt the whole time very safe and very welcomed.
Our driver and guide, Fred, was absolutely amazing. So knowledgeable, professional, nice, discreet, patient, helpful...!! His English is brilliant and he told us a lot about the culture there, the animals, the nature..! He even taught us some swahili. We really enjoyed the time with him and we always felt very safe with him. Thank you for everything, Fred!
Generally all companies are at all times very careful and very respectful to nature and to the animals. That made our experience even more amazing.
The food was at all times delicious and very abundant! Especially Hilda's food at the Migombani Campsite and Lucy's food at Villa Poa. Thank you!!
Renatus was before and during the trip at all times available and was always very helpful and flexible with any changes. Thank you, Renatus!
The vehicle we were using was a Toyota Land Cruiser and it was really good equipped and very comfortable. We even could charge our phones/cameras at all times and it also had a fridge inside with cold water.
There was only one missunderstanding with one of the accommodations, the one in Migombani Campsite. On the itinerary that the company had sent us there's a tented room to see, with a proper bed. But when we arrived we had a very basic and small tent. Otherwise all accommodations where really good!
We are very happy with our tour, we got to see all we wanted and we got to disconnect, to relax and enjoy the nature. We would strongly recommend this tour operator!

Great experience by excellent organization and fantastic guide
We had a great two-days Safari with Greg Adventures in Tanzania. Prior to the trip everything was well organized and communicated.
During the actual trip, we were guided by Abel Makweta who turned out to be the best guide you can wish for. Super friendly, always willing to answer questions and very very knowledgeable. Knows all about the animals and the nature in the Nyerere National Park. His many years of experience as a wild life guide is a great asset when you have him as a guide.
Big recommendation!

Well organised 3 day safari with 11&12 yr olds
Very well organised and great communication.
3 days safari - 2 full days game drive and third day doing walking safari and boat safari.
2 days game drives were excellent - very friendly and knowledgeable guide and we saw everything we had hoped to see.
The jeep felt like it was in poor condition compared to the other tours we saw but this didn’t distract from the experience and it went everywhere asked of it.
In hindsight the walking / boat tours were a little disappointing so I would not do those again.
Accommodation at Kinga Lodge was very good - really friendly staff and good food.
Overall happy to recommend Greg’s tours
