Excellent and amazing safari experience!
Our safari with Lomo Tanzania Safari was more than amazing. They listen very well too our wishes and do what js possible to make it happen. Our guide was a very nice man, good company to be with, speaks very well English, has a lot of humor and, last but not least, has a lot knowledge and experience about Tanzania and the animals. He has put a lot of effort in making our trip one we never will forget. The guide is an important factor of the succes of a safari, we were very happy with our guide from Lomo.
The vehicle was a new and strong one with everything you need. Very safe as well.
We will definitely come back one day with Lomo. They offer value for your money, arranging and guiding the whole safari. Asante sana! Edmee and Nino

An experience to remember... and to repeat
My 12-year-old daughter and I went on safari with LOMO in July 2018 and I warmly recommend this company. I had chosen it based on their website’s mission and I’m so happy I trusted my instincts. Here’s a quote from LOMO’s website: “What makes us different from other companies is our ability to Attention to Details. The success of and enjoyment for any safari depend on the quality and experience of a safari guide.”
Our safari reflected this completely! Little details like plenty of cool water bottles in the safari truck, tea/coffee/hot chocolate for mid-morning or mid-afternoon breaks, respect for the fact that we needed a leisurely pace… Everything was just perfect!
Our guide, Erasto, is an avid wildlife watcher and photographer like me. He knows his stuff and gave us a lot of information along the way. One of the highlights of our 9-day safari was the 90 minutes we spent with an elephant herd in the Silale Swamp area of Tarangire National Park. We just sat there, watched these beautiful creatures and took dozens of pictures while observing behaviour I had never seen young males swimming and play-fighting in the water! I will always remember and treasure this experience.
There is more: I appreciate the fact that a certain percentage of the company’s profits are used to support local charities. My family and I visited the orphanage that LOMO supports and it made me realize how important it is for successful Tanzanian companies to form such partnerships. Next time I go on safari, I am going with LOMO. For me, this is the one and only safari company in Tanzania! And we're already planning for a June 2023 safari! See you there!

Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a safari with a little extra
It was our second time on safari but first time with Lomo, who was recommended via a friend. We looked at half a dozen options and decided to go with this one for the communication, flexibility, spec of accommodation and price. We were with a family of three and two extra adults.
We were collected from the airport, with lovely little surprise gestures to make us feel more welcome.
They helped us plan our itinerary on arrival, made the rooms available for early check ins where possible (prob only poss due to low season), arranged extra requests for grandma’s bday and was always available to every need we had.
We decided to have some shorter days out on safari as we left earlier in the mornings and saw so much action that we had some hours to enjoy the amazing hotels chosen for us before the sun went down. Manyara Secrets was especially amazing, but all the places we stayed were beautiful, authentic, food was great as was the staff.
Have to make a special mention to Philip our driver. It was a joy to have him with us for the week. He always checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying everything. Nothing was too much hassle, our 6 year old bonded with him so much he missed not seeing him the following days.

You could not wish for more from a Safari company!
Where do I begin?
I was recommended to use Lomo when I was planning my first safari trip for my family of four and my father too.
We had specific requirements, due to the varying ages of the group from 5 up to 72 so we really needed someone who would understand the importance of everyone's comfort, time requirements, relaxing places to stay and to manage the expectations of such a diverse group.... Not an easy task.
Dealing with Erasto from the beginning I felt completely at ease, like speaking to a friend who took the time to ask the right questions and determine what was needed to provide the best possible itinerary for the group.
Several options for itinerary were offered, with plenty of discussion and "tweaking" to get all factors right. Erasto was always polite, gracious and able to offer solutions to any details that needed to be altered.
We took a six night trip, slowly taking in three national parks ; Arusha NP, Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater.
Accommodation was carefully chosen and we stayed at the best possible accommodation that more than met our expectations.
We were met at the airport by Rahim who was our guide for the entire trip, with almost 20 years of experience we were in very safe hands. Not only his impressive knowledge and ability to spot a species from an incredible distance (none other than a trained eye could know) but his careful driving and consideration for his passengers and his incredible warm personality made him instantly become part of "the family".
We were also blessed to be accompanied by Abisae, Lomo's very own professional photographer. Very skilled and professional, he made a welcome addition to the team. By the end of our week together, we felt we had made lifelong friends.
Having spotted more species than we could have expected, all expectations of what we would feel from our first safari trip were completely exceeded.
Also we felt like royalty when we arrived at the "perfect backdrop" picnic sites, alongside many others tourist eating packed lunches as we dined on freshly made hot foods off plates and cutlery, fresh fruits and salads, wine, beer, juice, fresh coffee, tea and hot chocolate and biscuits!!
It's easy for anyone to put together standard itinerary for basic requirements, but with Lomo you are truly experiencing the difference between "off the peg" and "tailor made".
The relationships between the Erasto and his staff, along with the partnerships with the hotels and lodge owners are also commendable, like a family working together to provide a five star service for a mid range budget.
Can you get your safari for cheaper?... Sure you can! But you risk compromising on what should be most memorable experience in your life as was the case for us.
Please let me advise you that I know how difficult it is when planning to make the perfect trip, you can't see into the future to know if you have made the right choice and decision when investing your time and money... But I wholeheartedly recommend that in this company you can trust.

Very professionally mapped out everything I was told was true
I was in Zanzibar with my daughter son in law and 2 grandchildren a Safari had been on my bucket list for many years.My daughter done all the research she spoke to many companies but after speaking with Lomo she thought that they sounded genuine and were value for money.We were not disappointed the service from the driver was first class and all the accommodations were first class.I would highly recommend Lomo to anyone.
