Unforgettable Experience
We had such an amazing time in Tanzania with the Lomo team. Erasto and his team are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to make your experience memorable.
We used Lomo's services for a 5-day safari in the northern circuit (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, lake Manyara). After a smooth and great experience, we also booked another 1-day trip to the Arusha NP a few days later. :)
First, the communication with Erasto before the trip was super smooth. They were very flexible and accommodating to our wishes regarding the itinerary, accommodation, and dietary restrictions. I also appreciated prompt responses, frequent updates, and warmth and care.
We enjoyed our safaris guided by knowledgeable guides who know the ins and outs of the local nature and wildlife. One clear thing that made Lomo stand out from the other safari vehicles and guides around us was the genuine care and respect towards the animals and nature in general - making sure that while we search for the best sights, we're not intruding too much to the personal space of the animals around us (which unfortunately wasn't the case for some other tour operators, sadly). We certainly learned a lot and saw so many beautiful creatures. And yes, we were fortunate to see the BIG FIVE (thanks to our tireless and eagle-eyed guide Adam)! :)
Overall, we felt very well comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Lomo to others and would certainly opt to partner with their team again during our next trip to Tanzania.
Thank Erasto and the whole Lomo team for an unforgettable experience!

Great experience with great team
Great experience from arrival to departure. The communication around the trip preparation was very swift and clear. Welcome drinks with cookies at JRO airport, transfer to the hotel and complete briefing with Hellen were perfect. Off to a 3-days safari early morning (Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and lake Manyara) with Rahim (good driver, very kind, respectful, big knowledge about fauna and flora) and Mactilda (first female guide as trainee, very kind, respectful, great knowledge about wildlife). They enabled us to see so many animals; both were very good spotters and always searching for the best places to see the animals, but with great respect for them however as well as for the nature around us. They took great care of us, serving nice cooked lunches at midday, making drinks, coffee and tea available at any time. We felt very comfortable and had some good laughs. Saying good bye to them was rather sad, but we were so happy about this unforgettable experience.
The chosen Lodge during the safari (Pamoja, Karatu) was a truly nice surprise; big bungalows in a beautiful garden, pool, caring staff.
We will definitely arrange another trip with LOMO in the future and would definitely warmly recommend the whole LOMO team to anyone who wants to live a wonderful experience in this region.
Another aspect of LOMO we appreciated was the idea behind it : Less for Ourselves More for Others = there is a foundation that helps Tanzanian people in need. A part of your money supports this which is quite motivating.
Thank you again!

Magic! It was an incredible moment !
We have been welcome by Erasto, and David our guide during the safari, at the airport, with a big welcome lunch. And all the trip has been made with this feeling, we felt very welcome, all the staff of Lomo listened to us and nothing was left to chance.
We went to the park of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, and all of the safaris were magic. David is an incredible guide and personn, speaking very well french and a peacefull mindset. We were so lucky to share this trip with him. He gave us many information about the country, traditions, animals and nature.
All the hotels were perfect, especially Pamoja in Serengeti. What could be most intense than the feeling of sleeping in the Savana in a beautifull and luxury tent, earing animals and having breakfast with sunrise ?
Everything was just perfect. For sure, i'll come back in Tanzania and will make the safari with Lomo! Thanks a lot again, you created the most intense moment in my life and made my 30th birthday magical

A Journey of A Lifetime!
There are no words for how AMAZING this company is, their attention to personalized detail, the timeliness of their communications, the quality of their service and their genuine desire to showcase the very best of Tanzania. If anyone is interested in making the trip to the land of Hakuna Matata (“no worries”), look no further than Lomo Tanzania Safari. They absolutely live up to their tagline - a journey that changes lives - from yours to the lives of the children they help to support (a portion of your purchase supports a local orphanage). From work to play (I had to do both) and every kind of safari possible (animal/cultural/night/canoe/tree top/hot air balloon and more), we were amazed by the incredible value of this experience. And as someone who has worked in the business of travel and hospitality for over 20 years, I know a great product is a when I experience it!
Asante sana (thank you so much) to Eratso, Hellen, Matilda, Alan and the very best safari guide in Tanzania - Salim Mgonja - for a truly life-changing experience. You guys are incredible and really know what it means to be hospitable! We will forever be grateful!

Highly recommended Safari!
We can only recommend Lomo Tanzania Safari. We always felt well taken care of, from the pick up at the airport to the drop off. The warm welcome from the lomo staff is something we will always remember. Our tour guide philipp was also great, we saw a lot of animals on the safaris and his knowledge is very exciting. The hotels were carefully selected and the food was very tasty. If I could give six stars, I would.

Well organized and professional!
My favorite moment was the arrival in the Serengeti, these endless plains where the Maasai and their herds of cows and goats rub shoulders with wild animals. But the Tarangire Park with its elephants and baobabs, the Ngorongoro crater where we could see thousands of animals simply by turning our heads did not disappoint me! What beauty in its purest form… What about the director Erasto who is always ready to receive our requests and the hyper-professional team he leads from Arusha. Our guide Pascal had all the answers to our many questions and always answered them with passion and a smile! (in French) We learned a lot of information and we laughed all along the way. You should know before leaving that the roads are long and made up of dirt in the parks, which means that you are entitled to an African massage (as our guide said) and that you eat a little dust (bring a scarf for the mouth). It's part of the adventure. We travel in “Jeeps” where 6 people take place. The accommodation sites are simply magnificent, the staff courteous and attentive. Tanzanians are very “happy” to see tourists and children want to touch us (our skin being different from theirs). The food is excellent with good menu choices that will please all tastes. Hakuna matata! Carefree life with Lomo Tanzania safari Asante sana Erasto and your teams!

Simply memorable! Once in a lifetime
Fantastic! Breathtaking landscapes, majestic animals that can be seen a few feet away, but above all, warm, jovial and professional people. We were surprised at the level of knowledge of the Lomo guides. They do three years of university and a six-month internship in the park to become a guide. They are real encyclopedias on the fauna and culture of this magnificent country. Their joie de vivre, their laughter and their smiles will remain in our memories forever.
On the organizational side, everything was on point. Everything is planned to make us live a unique experience like sleeping in camps in the Serengeti Park with wild animals near the tents. Hearing the lion roar near your tent is an unforgettable moment. But don't be afraid, it's safe and the camps are surrounded by lights all night long.
We particularly enjoyed our experience at the Maramboi Tented Lodge. Imagine a plain with zebras, wildebeests, giraffes a few feet from your window, all with a majestic lake in the background. Breathtaking. The hotels and the food are excellent. Dinners on safari days are simple but very good with choices for all tastes including vegetarians. We had hot meals even at noon in the middle of nature and unlimited fruit.
Plan your trips well because these are dirt roads and it's quite rough at times. The distances can be long depending on your choices and it can be quite tiring but this fatigue is largely compensated by what we have seen. So, in summary I highly recommend Lomo. You will not be disappointed.

Extraordinary
Went with LOMO Tanzania Safari within a group of 17 friends. Upon arrival until the end of the safari, it was just an amazing experience. We were great at the airport with a light lunch , hot coffee, tea and chocolate milk. The guides are well experienced, explains a lot about what we are seeing. We ate very well during the safari and the most important thing, nobody got sick during this part of the trip. Extraordinary value for our money. We arrive as clients and return back home as friends.

A trip to never forget
We can highly recommend Lomo as your partner to have a Safari in Tanzania. We took the 5-day program and it was worth every penny spend. Ramping up to the trip, we had regular contact with the Lomo team to get prepared. their swift and professional responses gave us a very good feeling in preparing the trip.
Lomo uses top accommodation on the most memorable places.
Our Lomo guide during the Safari was very kind and knowledgeable. You truly feel the safari is organised to your own desires which was reflected in their flexible mindset and during your parc visits, everything is foreseen to give you a experience to never forget.
We will for sure make use of their excellent service again in the future.
