Professional and helpful
It was very easy to organize our safari trip with Luitours.
They were flexible with the payment methods as I wanted to pay part with credit card and part in cash.
Hassan Amir our guide was an extremely nice person. He explained everything to us and the ride with him was fun and enjoyable.
During the game drive he made sure that we see as much as possible and didn't take any short cuts that other drivers took. This allowed us to see some elephants and hyenas that other groups didn't see.
They arranged taxi pickup from our hotel in Zanzibar and booked the ferry tickets for us. Our guide was waiting for us when we reached dar es salam and he remained with us the 3 days of the trip. They have also booked our ferry tickets back to zanzibar and arranged a taxi to drop us at our hotel in zanzibar.
All of this was included in the price.
Before, during and after the trip they remaind very responsive via WhatsApp. They also made sure to contact us to be sure that we have arrived safely to our destination in Zanzibar.
Regarding the trip, the plan we booked was reasonably priced, but this meant we go by ferry and car from zanzibar to selous and back.
It was a fun way to move around and this allowed us to ride the ferry with locals and see many villages on the way. We also had many nice chats with Hassan along the way.
The downside of this plan, is that it is a bit exhausting, so expect a bumpy road or as our guide called it "African Massage" most of the trip for about 3-4 hours in each direction.
The booked safari camp is midrange so you can expect that it won't be very comfy or luxurious. During our stay there electricity was only available from 5pm to 10pm and in the early morning around 6am to 7am.
In general, I would definitely recommend arranging the safari trip with them, and if you book the mid range package just expect it to be exhausting but a nice experience.

Exceptional and knowledgeable guide
I don't think we could have been happier with Frank as our guide! Frank is extremely knowledgeable and really cares about wildlife. Thanks to his in-depth understanding of local fauna we got to see much more than other tourists we met. Throughout our 3 day safari trip he ensured we were safe and comfortable at all times. If we come back to see another park, we will call Frank straight away.
Ibrahim organized our 3 day safari: Seregenti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara
Our 3 day safari: Seregenti Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyra

We were able to see other animals: zebras, wildebeest, carriage horses, yen, jackals ... ..

Everything was very well organized by Ibrahim
Our guide Babo spoke French very well and had a strong knowledge of both flora and fauna
We were very happy

Amazing safari adventure!
During our 4 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, Luitours made sure we spent each day to the fullest. The hotels chosen were top quality as per our requests. Thanks to Ibrahim who handled everything from the office and our guide Freddy who informed us about all the plants and gives us so much information about all the animals we have seen. We have seen "The big five". We never had a dull moment with him; he is one of the most caring & kind persons we ever met.
We saw the leopard on a tree, when other people could not spot
If you are thinking of booking a safari, I have no hesitation in recommending Luitours and Safaris

Highly Recommend
My wife and I absolutely loved our holiday with Luitours Tanzania; from the start the booking experience was great. Our accommodation was fantastic, and comfortable
Initially we were worried about planning a safari thousands of miles away with little knowledge of what is reasonable to expect in choosing locations to see, places to stay, length of safari, price range.
We were a bit overwhelmed by all the tour companies and possibilities. But Ibrahim customized everything to our needs and expectations. We had a really great time and Godilisten fulfilled all our wishes. He was really attentively and showed us every single animal we wanted to see
We would recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks so much, Luitours! What an experience!

Great communication, reliable and wonderful overall experience
We did the 3-day Mikumi and Masai village safari. We worked with Ibrahim to organize, communication is great and safari packet detailed with all info needed. Our tour guide Hassan was with us the duration of safari, he was always on time or early, picked us up from hotel and drove to park where we spent the first afternoon then day 2. He gave us lots of info. and history and was teaching us Swahili words which we liked. Hassan also was great at chasing all animal sighting leads from other guides and made sure we saw all big 4 animals in this park including a very hard to find leopard. Thank you Hassan. The third day we visited a Masai village learning a lot about their traditions and life, we really enjoyed it. During our nights we spent it at camp Bastian which has individual cabins, is well kept and the staff is great. They offered delicious breakfast and dinner in addition to packed lunches. Overall our experience was wonderful and we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend Luitours and Hassan.

A fantastic experience with Luitours and Safaris!
Ibrahim had been very responsive and was able to take care of our concerns relating to changes in itinerary. The entire safari went on as per the agreed schedule without any changes
The jeeps were really comfortable and everyone had a window seat! Plus the roof went up so that we could get a better view of the game drive
Our guide Freddy was kind, fun and knowledgeable and gave us a great safari! Freddy was also a really good driver, which made our journey feel very safe the whole time
He always did everything possible to make our safari experience incredible. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife
Thanks again Ibrahim and Freddy for an unforgettable experience!

Awesome Experience
We did a 5-day safari to serengeti, crater and tarangire nationalparc with our guide Godlisten. It was very well organized. The pickup was always right on time and Godlisten has a great knowledge of the animals and their behaviour which he is happy to share. We also got additional information about the country and the
people living here. He did always take good care of us and his english was also easy to understand. We saw the big-5 and many more. The lodges they picked out were outstanding. So it has been a great experience and we can highly recommend booking that tour.

Reliable and flexible tour operator, created the best safari for us
We have been on a 3 day safari to Mikumi from where we live in Dar es Salaam.
Khalifa was our guide and he was very punctual and an excellent driver. We felt very safe with him in the car.
The place where we stayed in Camp Bastian was very nice, exactly what we expected. The rooms are fine (nothing luxurious but perfectly fine!), there was a pool, and every evening there is a 3 course dinner. Lovely personel and really in a 'safari' environment.
Driving through the park with Khalifa was amazing. He has great knowledge about the animals and we actually had a lot of fun with him. We were able to see many animals, and we were very lucky with the ones we saw.
Would recommend. Unique experience.

Once in a lifetime safari experience
Ibrahim from Luitours safari company responded relatively quickly to WhatsApp and email. The process of safari and payment was smooth. The itinerary was flexible and tailored to our circumstances as we needed to fly from Arusha to Zanzibar on the last day at 4pm. However, we were only informed that our lodges from the original quotation/itinerary were no longer available AFTER we paid the deposit. Fortunately, the new replacement lodges were very nice and exceeded our expectations. The tour guide, Okuli was friendly and knowledgeable. He visited us for an in-person briefing the day before the safari started. He answered any queries we had and managed our expectations of the safari. He picked us up on time on the first day of the safari. He was a safe and calm driver despite some terrible driving and road conditions. He went out of his way to ensure we saw as many different animals as we could. He drove at a slow speed and stopped when required for us to take pictures and videos. He explained the differences and characteristics of different animals. He was honest about the river crossing was too early for the time we went. He received the latest information about animals location via radio with other drivers and fly safari. We had great conversations with him throughout the 4 days safari to learn more about the Tanzanian culture. I would highly recommend Luitours and Safaris.
