Great experience, personal touch
We did 4 days budget camping safari with Sayari Tano and visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From the start communication with the company was very good, I got fast responses to my questions and all changes I requested were made without hesitation. We had such a great time, our driver Benjamin was excellent in navigating the car through very rough roads (it was raining every night so we had to cross a lot of muddy pools on our game drives) and spotting the animals. Where other drivers had to use binoculars, our guide just pointed "here, lion on the left" :-) We saw all big 5 and much more. The food also exceeded our expectations, safari makes you hungry and we were stuffed after each meal, very tasty! I am glad I chose Sayari Tano also because they are 100% local and that was important for me. Overall, my experience was amazing and I'd happily recommend this tour company to anyone who is looking for good customer service, personal touch and friendly approach for reasonable price.
One tip - if you are joining the budget safari and your car is expected to be full, don't take a big bag with you - pack a small backpack and leave the rest of your luggage (if you have one) in the hotel. It really helps with space in the car.

Very pleasant and well organised safari package
We, group of 7 people from India went on safari with Safari Tano tours in October 2016. Our tour coordinator Gabriel was very helpful and he was very happy to accommodate all our requests. Over all the tour was very well planned and we customised the safari for 5 days as per our requirement. We visited ngrongoro, Serengeti and Kilimanjaro (1 day trek) during our safari. Our tour guide Tony was very welcoming and made the trip memorable. Thanks Gabriel and team for making the trip a great one.

Amazing Safari, wonderful Honeymoon
We spent part of our Honeymoon on the Safari by Sayari Tours.
Everything was great from the beginning to the end:
- Very good and customer oriented communication before the travel. The customer service always responded very quickly to my mails, just within a few hours, always on the same day. They were very friendly and patient. I did a lot of research before I picked this Agency. One of the reasons why I picked them was that they were not pushy at all when I just sent my first inquiry for a safari. Many other companies were pressuring me to book straight away, responding with ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, like they were yelling at me. Sayari Tano's customer service is just excellent, very friendly, very transparent, and pleasant to communicate with.
- The tour itself was undescribibly wonderful. We came with low expectations as we knew the national parks are very big, and only expected to see the wild animals through binoculars. Well, this was totally the opposite. We saw all the Big 5 and so much more from up close. Our guide, Frederic, was VERY professional, very knowledgeable and the right instinct knowing where to go to get the best view.
- Frederic was really great. He was always making sure we're comfortable, we always had enough water, he gave us all the information we needed to know about the animals and the nature without overdoing it. He had the perfect sense for when we wanted to know more, and when we just wanted to enjoy the view.
We just loved every minute of this advanterous safari (it was the first time for to sleep in a tent), and we're definitely going back to do another tour with Sayari Tano Tours.

I visited The Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara National Parks and were camping.
Sayari Tano were amazing! Prior to the Safari, they were always prompt with their returns to emails and were honest about what to expect and with any questions I asked. The accommodation offered the day before and after was what I paid for (I was camping), however, it was clean, had good WI-FI, was in the center of town, had friendly, welcoming staff and had all the necessities. When we started the Safari, the first thing I noticed was how safely our driver Ziggy drove, as not everyone on the road in Africa is always safe. Also, the car was clean and in good repair with no mechanical issues. The tents were really good and exceeded my expectations. In the mornings, we were straight in the car and were on Safari immediately. Whilst in the car, Ziggy (our driver) was really informative and respectful of our time and space in terms of taking photos etc., we saw all sorts of animals in large numbers and the whole time, Ziggy was on the look out for the harder to see animals like leopards, which we saw!!! The food wasn't incredible however, it was well prepared within the limits of how much we were paying, but at the end of the day, I wasn't there for the food.
The only down side was the seating in the car. The front seats are the best getting progressively worse up to the back, however this is not the fault of anyone just something to be aware when you are going on Safari. However, this was easily resolved by rotating the seats. Also, I would highly recommend that you book to go with people you know or have met whilst travelling so that this sort of communication is easier.
All in all, the tour was fantastic and I highly recommend Sayari Tano Tours to anyone who is interested in exploring the wildlife of Tanzania!!

Good
There were various happening, but it was great because I met a nice guide at the last Kilimanjaro climb. His name is Yona. Please do not forget to appoint him when trekking.

Friendly, reliable, good value for money!
We went with our two teenage daughter with Juma for 4 days to Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. It was really fantastic! I think it was very good value for money. The communication with Gabriel at the office was very clear and smooth. Very very friendly. There was really nothing that disappointed us. Don't hesitate and book this trip, I think it is the best you can get for this money. Camping is basic but they all are! You are all together with all the other operators at the camp site. We saw all the animals, even a hyena from very close (arount the tent :-)) Good luck to you! Sandra, Frank and girls.

Sayari Tano Tours & Safaris is the best safari tour in Tanzania with the best tour guides.
We did a 6-day safari in northern Tanzania as part of family tour. We had 3 vehicles for 15 us. We had a very nice and enjoyable moment since the time we were picked at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). We get 2 nights accommodation at the Hotel (Arusha Tourist Inn Hotel- day before and day after our holidays). Our drivers were Oswad Shayo, Freddy &, James who had become a part of our group and their active attitude was transferable.
Regarding wildlife sightings, we managed to see a lot of animals. All the parks were fantastic and offered a varieties of wild animals. We saw the big five lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo, in addition to cheetah, hippo, zebra, different species of antelope, giraffe, monkey, dik-dik, hyena, jackal, ostrich, vulture and a range of other birds.
Sayari Tano Tours & Safaris is an excellent company. They have great staffs with high hospitality level which we could not imagine to find in Tanzania. The service was great; our safari guides was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. This trip exceeded all expectations and could not have asked for a better experience.
We recommend Sayari Tano Tours & Safaris to everyone, they are unbeaten company in Tanzania.

Frank was the best guide! Great experience
We had a 4 days Safari and Frank was our Guide. He was very well organized and knew a lot about the animals. He tried his very best to show us everything we wanted to see and we did see so many amazing things. The Food was very Basic but I wouldn’t expect anything else in that context you shouldn’t Forget that you are in the middle of nowhere. All in all it was a really really great time. Thank you Frank for an unforgettable trip.
