Once in a lifetime experience to see such magnificent creatures in their natural habitats
Myself and my fiancée did the 5 day safari experience featuring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara.
Elias picked us up from the bus stop and brought us to a local market and helped us to pick up some clothes atva good price as Turkish Airlines had misplaced our luggage, then brought us to the office where we chatted about our upcoming safari with Nassir. Both Elias and Nassir were incredibly friendly and accommodating and made us feel very well looked after.
We were picked up by our driver, Lewis, the next day and thus began our 5 day safari adventure. We saw lions, antelope, elephants, baboons, many tropical birds, giraffes, warthogs and zebras as well as part of a shy leopard on our first day in Tarangire alone. Lewis was very informative and attentive and made a wonderful driver and guide.
The glampsite we stayed at during our first night was spectacular and an ensuite bathroom with hot water was much appreciated. Our cook Hilda was hilarious, introducing herself as our Mama for the next five days, and her meals were delicious.
Our first day in the Serengeti was incredible we saw all of the aforementioned animals as well as hippos, various new types of gazelle, hyenas, wildebeest, vultures and ostriches. The highlight of the day was a leopard who was clearly visible in a tree and had dragged a gazelle he had killed up with him.
Camping in the Serengeti was a surreal experience. We slept in a campsite that was right in the middle of the Serengeti, mere meters away from baboons and hyenas that we watched loping around the edge of the campsite.
Our second day in the Serengeti was just as magical. The highlights were watching vast herds of zebra and wildebeest galloping along and observing the most adorable pride of lions nuzzling each other about a foot away from the truck. The most exciting event was when we came across a cheetah who was stalking some oblivious gazelle. It was a very intense few minutes but eventually the gazelle spotted it and it conceded defeat.
Camping on the edge of Ngorongoro crater afforded a breathtaking view and lots of very close encounters. We watched a couple storks stalking through the campsite as well as zebra and buffalo grazing, in fact that night we heard sounds coming from outside the tent and opened up to find ourselves face to face with a buffalo grazing not 6 inches from the tent's flap.
Ngorongoro itself was ineffably beautiful. The descent was steep and afforded all kinds of wonderful views including aerial perspectives on vast herds. We saw huge herds of buffalo up close, hyenas making off with a hunk of meat, the most adorable lion cubs panting in the sun, as their mothers and older siblings lazed in the shade, a couple cute civet cats and the Monte Cristo, not one but two rhinos. To slightly temper the awesomeness of such sightings, both rhinos were asleep and quite far away but I still feel blessed to have seen what was according to Lewis 10% of the rhinos in Ngorongoro.
Our final night of the safari was spent once again in the glampsite and was just as comfortable the second time round.
Our last day in Manyara was good but it didn't hold a candle to the previous 4 days. We saw lots of baboons, zebra, elephants, buffalo, some giraffes, antelope and various types of exotic birds including massive flocks of flamingos that were unfortunately too far away to be seen by the naked eye so we took turns gazing at them through the binoculars.
We were incredibly satisfied with our safari experience. The one thing I should mention is that Moorland and Suricata safaris are partners and that depending on availability you could end up going with either company. Nassir did not have a group booked for our specific dates so he put us in with a Suricata group. In the end based on the experience we had and Nassir's kind demeanor and eagerness to assist in any way possible I would not hesitate to recommend Moorland safaris to anyone who would like to get up close and personal with all kinds of exotic animals.
Tl;dr Had an amazing safari experience, saw every possible animal, great lodgings and impeccable customer service

3 day/2 Night Tour Ngorngoro Crater, Lake Tangerine and Lake Manyara
Communicating with Nasr was a breeze via email and WhatsApp. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to meet him before and after the trip so Ally his friend was the person I met. The trip itself was amazing. I joined a 3 day/2 night join in group safari so every day I had a new group of people, driver and guide which felt awkward. The only downside was that the tour during the first day, Lake Tangerine didn’t start until afternoon which meant most of the animals were in the shades or hiding from the sun. Lodging was great, food was exceptions, the guide during the last day was awesome!! Wouldn’t hesitate to go with this group again!

Recommanding service of Mr. Nasr Munis.
I can truly recommend service Mr. Nasr Munis and his company Moorland Safaris&Trekking. I spent nice two weeks in Arusha serviced bei this young guy. He was really halpfull and always reachable when I needed him. His knowledge about Arusha and area around the city is priceless. Honest, kind and friendly, does not to want fleece his customer, like most of services (restaurants, shops and sellers), but always price was satisfied for both sides. Always on spot, on time trying fulfill all needs of the clients. You can book at him safar and also trip to Kili, if you're looking for some other attractions he is gonna find somathing proper for you ( in my case Massai Village and Market out of the city) He is ready to suffer his time for visitors and sort out for them whole things realated with thier stay (and not only) in Arusha. Enterprising, diligent and well organised young person, if plan to visit Tanzania once again, i am ready to put myself in to his hand to organize whole stay and attractions. Thank you Nasr, I had a greate time in Tanzania thanks to you. Keep up the good work:)

It was just great!
Nasr from Moorland was all the time in contact by Watsup whenI was planning my tour. I decided to take 3 days join tour - Serengeti and Ngorongoro. And I understand now that I was not wrong. For me it was enough. The car was comfortable, all camping devices were clean and in good condition. We met all animals wanted even Leopard and Rhino. I saw different climate zones . The safari guide was very qualified- it is important, because National park is very large and without knowledge and experience you will not find all the animals .

Moorland safaris
Moorland Safari has provided fantastic service. Our expectations have been exceeded in every way. The best part has been getting to know our driver and guide Derick. When the airlines lost our luggage, both Nasr and Derick went way out of the way to get our bags to us. Their knowledge of the area, the wildlife, the people...any subject is unbelievable and makes our time even better. Thank you!!!

Best days of my life
We had a truly amazing time with one of the most knowledgeable, attentive, respectful and fun guides--Salvatore! We highly recommend that anyone interested in having a great adventure and successful trek (or safari) to specifically request them. The booking process was smooth and done completely through email. They responded quickly and helped us organize add-on trip to Zanzibar. The trek was rewarding, challenging, and once in a lifetime experience. Highly, highly recommend Moorland safaris
