Happy holidays
African Overland is a great tour company. My family were quite impressed right from the beginning of planning the safari. All our inquiries were handled on time and in a professional manner . For sure my family cannot praise African Overland enough for the impressive reception and overall tours.
Their staff proved to be quite professional, ready and willing to help and expertly handled all our queries. Our guide proved to be extremely knowledgeable. He took us to 4 different parks which included Arusha National Park, Serengeit, Ngorongoro and Tarangire .
We are convinced we got the best guide all through our tour not to mention the confortable accommodation and to top it all, interacting with the friendly people of Tanzania was a big plus for us. African Overland met and exceed all our expectations about an African tour and we look forward to having many more with them.
Our stay in both mid range and high end accommodation proved to be way above our expectation. Our favorites were Serengeti and Ngorongoro National parks . All in all we had a wonderful safari at a very affordable price . Afrcan Overland gives quality and non forgettable not to forget, affordable safaris and we would not hesitate to recommend a better safari company to choose for your trip in Tanzania. Way to go African Overland.

Overland Safari gave us safari of a lifetime
We chose the 12 day Tanzania cultural tourism and game drives safari. The safari took us to Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, time with the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, Lake Natron with Maasai, and Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Willy handled all the arrangements to perfection. Our guide Richard had such a sharp eye, we never would've seen most of the animals and birds were it not for him. We saw all the large animals except the leopard and 140 species of birds. Richard was a wealth of knowledge, not only about all the birds and animals but also about the Parks, the country, the people and politics. He always had a field guide ready after we saw animals/birds and to offer more detailed pictures of male/female differences or immature species. Richard was an amazing driver, wrangling our Land Cruiser through mud, gullies and rivers safely. Our accomodations were lovely luxurious lodges and a luxury tented camp in the Serengeti and the food was delicious. Every park had it's own beauty and variety of animals and birds. We enjoyed immensely all our different local guides and everyone we met on our trip were so kind and helpful. We highly recommend Overland Safari.

Overland Safari- Personal touchs
Me and My wife and our Daughter had an amazing 6 days organized by William of Overland Safari.
A week before are trip I was in hospital wit the back pain receiving shots but did not want to cancel the visit due to the birthday of my wife and another late birthday for my Daughter
Took the plane with back pain and met William as promised in at 3 am, something that you always worry when you arrive so late... Big Smiling face
To the hotel for a short rest than meeting our guide Richard in the morning ON TIME again...I will not talk more on how beautiful Serengeti is more talk on the capabilities of our guide
Managed to catch the migration - which was not expected at that time of the year
Made us saw all big five and more
Very knowledgeable on wild life and the back roads that very few or almost no people around
Hawk eyes that can spot anything miles away
Knowing where animals show up - kinda 6th sense..
A Birthday Party Cake Organized in wildlife camp with names, wishes and candles on it was amazing
And with great driving skills - NO BACK PAIN - he made me recovered
William and Richard Great Team
Looking forward to other 3 event that we spoke, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar beach vacation and bicycle riding in nature
Thank you again Overland Safari for making our trip memorable.
The experience of a lifetime
I couldn’t be more pleased with our safari experience with William.
From the very beginning he was so responsive and answered all the questions and concerns via WhatsApp right away! I swear the guy never sleeps! He is extremely organized and knows how to put together the best itinerary based on your specific/individual needs. Not only did he plan the trip from afar but was also our tour guide.
His energetic and kind spirit made each day even more exciting! With him we saw all the big 5 animals and much more. He was very knowledgeable on animal behavior and I really valued and appreciated learning about all the species we saw.
Overall, I highly recommend going with William as we couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience! We can’t wait to come back :)

Communicative, knowledgable and friendly!
I recently went on a 7 day safari with William and had an incredible experience and would highly recommend him to anyone! Similar to the other reviewers, I do not understand the 1 star review and it could be a case of dealing with a difficult customer.
We booked a safari with William early in 2021 for a safari in October. Because we booked early, we were very worried about how COVID 19 would impact the experience. Luckily for us, William was extremely communicative during the entire process and would respond to emails and WhatsApp messages almost instantly! He said that he only sleeps a few hours a night because customer service is a huge priority for him and I believe him. When we arrived at the airport he had a sign with our names on it (he sent us a photo of the sign so we knew what to look for). He picked us up in our safari vehicle and off we went!
We visited Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Serengeti and Myanara, and saw all of the animals we wanted to see and had some incredible experiences. William was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process and answered all of our questions, and even took us back to the airport for an early 7am flight.
If you’re like me, I had never been on safari before and wanted to make sure the experience was unforgettable. William made sure that it was and I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a once in a lifetime adventure.

Worst Company ever. Do not use canceled 1 week prior to start and we still have received no refund
Well can not talk about my tour experience since the operator canceled the tour one week prior to our departure Operator we iffy from the start alway wanting more money to cover new expenses. William from overland has told me repeatedly that the money has been wired but he refuses to provide any type of proof of the wire. We filed a police report for theft and when we get back to the US we will file a report with the FBinsince he used International wire transfer to take our money. Beware and find a reputable company before you book.
