Horrific!
Horrid experience. Victor, is not only a liar but a thief. Poor communication, he didn’t uphold the contract. We were held against our will at a hotel before the bill was paid, which we had to pay again. Though Victor received money for these fees 7-8 months in advance. Payment for the park fees weren’t done by Victor. The hotel accommodations he confirmed in the email were not made upon arrival to the Serengeti National Park. Instead Victor arranged for us to stay at a hostel. My group and I paid $200 US/ night to stay at a wildlife lodge with appropriate accommodations. Victor insisted on obtaining cash payment before the driver will take us on the safari.
This man needs to be reported!

The man is a thief---he did not provide what I paid to receive---got less than 1/2 of my services
DO NOT book with MY Friend in Africa---He is not friend and detrimental to the tourist business of Tanzania. I was pond off on other tours
and they expected me to pay---but I had my proof of payment with me. I had to pay for some things again in order to get there---operators
say he is NOT A GOOD GUY---

100% fraud
Do not go with this company!
We paid most of our trip in advance from home. But the problems with the company guy Victor started from day 1.
First we had to pay what he called a payment fee which we agreed, after that he ensured that everything was good. After that he left us with the driver.
Arriving to Serengeti nothing was paid for us. Accomodation, Food, Park entry fees. Not even the free water they promised us was there.
We where stuck in the middle of Serengeti at 10pm, with no place to stay. (we found a place with help from some local guys)
We booked 4 days of Safari, what we basicly had was some transit drive in the park maybe 2-3 hours. The drivers english was very limited.
