Family Safari to Perfection
My family of five – 3 teens, wife and I had the most wonderful safari adventure with Pat Trekking Safaris exploring Tarangire Park, Serengeti Park and Ngorongoro Crater on 7 days adventure. It is impossible to highlight all the special experiences that we had with our guide Msangi because he was exceptional. His ability to spot animals camouflaged in the bush like leopards, lions and cheetahs was amazing. We also did see a lot of other animals. In addition to the awesome gamedrives we have to mention the wonderful lodges that hosted us. Great food and excellent service! We highly recommend Pat Trekking Safaris to those planning safari vacations in Tanzania.

Amazing Safari Vacation in Tanzania
My wife and I have just come back from the 7 days Northern Tanzania Classic Tour with amazing guide Lameck of Pat Trekking and Safaris. Our trip was incredible, we visited Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorngoro where we enjoyed the diverse landscapes and wildlife tracking experience. Lameck was an exceptional guide knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife, culture and Tanzania had us fully held to his wonderful stories. With him we encountered lots of different wild animals from mighty elephant herds, buffaloes, giraffes, lions, thousands upon thousands of wildebeest migrating to the timid antelopes that would scatter quickly in to the bushes from the tiniest spook.
Accommodation in the lodge and camps were amazing too. We are looking forward to a trip to the South next. Highly recommended

Superb game drive
Our guide Rachid was super efficient and attentive to our desires. He knew how to manage 3 different generations with very understandable English. The accommodations were very nice and in line with the price of the Safari. Excellent atmosphere and Rachid effectively managed car problems (puncture, alternator). All in all, great memory.

Amazing expérience, family trip
It was a wonderful discover. Our driver was Rashid! He was the best guide we can expect. His english was perfect, he was always Nice with kids and adults. We felt always safe.He makes us discover an amazing country! Thanks a lot.. don’t change!
If We Have to say something wrong:
- the booking process was a bit anxiousness.. we are not used to send money with no garantees.. but finally everything goes well.
- We Have an alternator problem but finally everything goes well
- the last hôtel : crater rim View was not as good as the others ones.. it’s disappointed to finish with this impression

Incredible guide - be patient with the car :)
Best guide ever for the entire family!
Rachid is a great person, knowledgeable guide, energy and passion always at the top, kids-friendly, good hotels (except for the last one - The Crater Rim View), we met incredible people (like Baraka) and Rachid has a strong network which is very useful when the car is broken (flat tire, alternator broken, etc).
Booking process is far from our standards: no news after paying from Petro was stressful but everything went well!

a well-organized and memorable safari experience, with excellent wildlife spotting and safe driving,
We recently completed a 5-day private safari in Tanzania, covering Tarangire, Central Serengeti, North Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we were fortunate to see all the animals we had hoped for.
Lameck, our guide, was excellent at spotting wildlife and drove safely throughout the trip. His knowledge of the animals and environment was impressive, and we learned a lot from him. Additionally, Pietro, who handled our booking, was professional and prompt, making the planning process smooth.
However, there were a few areas for improvement:
Bluetooth speaker to wake Lions: One incident that left us feeling uncomfortable was when Lameck used a Bluetooth speaker to play hyena sounds to wake up sleeping lions on our first day. While this did lead to better photo opportunities, it felt unethical, especially with numerous jeeps already surrounding the lions. Although he stopped after we expressed our discomfort, this behaviour seemed at odds with the ethos of conservation that Lameck self-proclaimed. We believe this practice should be avoided entirely in the future.
Language Barrier: One of the more significant issues we faced was with Lameck's English, which made communication somewhat difficult. Almost everything he said, we had to ask him to repeat himself, and after a while, it became tiring to continue asking questions.
Communication about our route and plans: For much of the trip, we didn’t know where we were or where we were going next. For example, when I asked about visiting Seronera, Lameck simply said "no" due to our accommodation, but we ended up going there later. A bit more explanation—like letting us know we’d visit later—would have helped manage expectations. It would also be helpful if he provided options, like whether we'd prefer more time with animals and a later arrival (after sunset) at the lodge, or an earlier return. Keeping guests more informed would enhance the experience.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari, but with a few adjustments, it could have been even better.

Nice Tour but not like description
Thank you for organizing our safari days. We were very much looking forward to the great accommodation "Eco Lodge" as described in the offer. Therefore we were disappointed with the "replacement accommodation" which was not of the same standard.
Danke für die Organisation unserer Safari-Tage.
Wir haben uns im Vorhinein sehr auf die tolle Unterkunft „Eco Lodge“ wie im Angebot beschrieben, gefreut. Deshalb waren wir von der “Ersatz-Unterkunft”, welche nicht dem selben Niveau entsprach, enttäuscht.

Posted on Nov 3, 2022Hello Mara
Many thanks for the review but this happened due to the fact that you erred when transferring the deposit and the funds were not received on our end. The deposit forms a significant part in securing accommodation for the trip and thus a change was necessitated. That said the company had to step in and improvise so as to ensure smooth operations of the safari. The deposit has so far not been received as it was sent back to you.

Very unreliable customer service.
I would not risk your vacation with this company. Our group traveled with them 3 days ago and had an accident (front left tire got detached while driving) in the middle of Ngorongoro Preservation Area. No back-up vehicle was sent to the company. “Mechanic” came after 3 hours and attempted to “fix” the vehicle. Least a day in the Safari and proceeded with the tour with the same vehicle. Upon going back to the town, driver has to stop again (3-4 times) to a mechanic to install the shock. Take note, AFTER GOING TO NGORONGORO. At this point, we’re late on our hotel and needed to look for another one.

Posted on Sep 27, 2023Many thanks for the review Mark, the feedback is much appreciated.
First & foremost let me take this opportunity to apologize for the safari jeep breakdown. As a company we take great strides in making sure that our safari jeeps meet all the safety standards as to ensure both a safe & seamless safari. Even though our jeeps are very well maintained, sometimes unfortunately breakdowns do occur given the status of the roads in the parks. Being in the tour business for quite some time we have acquired some experience along the way in managing such scenarios while making sure the safari program is not interrupted.
While it was logical to send another jeep, the distances involved made it logistically impossible to do so for the 3 day tour. Driving times from Moshi to Serengeti are approximately 9 hours which will ultimately result in a break in the tour program. The 3 day tour you chose was time constraint & ultimately there was no room for much change in itinerary & jeep. That said, given the various circumstances we saw it prudent to fix the problem as quickly as possible so as not to break the flow of the safari program. While the safari jeep was being fixed another jeep was contracted to finish the day's game drive and afterwards the program proceeded on as otherwise planned.
Lastly, we do apologize for this inconvenience and even though it's clear that we didn't meet your expectations on the matter we strive to continuously improve & be better.
