Amazing safari experience with Godson
We have done a 5-day safari with the whole family (father, mother, son and daughter). We have spent one day in Tarangire, two in Serengeti and another in Ngorongoro. If you add up it gives four days since almost a whole day is spent in transfer, especially when going to Serengeti (I recommend taking at least two days in Serengeti, otherwise it is not worth going that far to spend only one afternoon).
As for comparing parks, in Tarangire you can always see elephants and zebras, and the route is quite beautiful along the river. The Serengeti is somewhat drier in terms of landscape but it is the perfect place to see felines: lions, cheetahs, leopards... and depending on the season, there are also zebras and wildebeests in abundance due to migration. Finally, as for Ngorongoro, it is impressively beautiful in terms of the landscape and the views, you can also see quite a few animals but it is true that the day is a little short since it is the smallest park and you cannot access half of it because It is covered in water. It is done as a route of only about 4-6 hours. I hope I have helped.
On the other hand, the organization by the company for the transfer from the hotel, the food, the request for some other activity to do in Arusha before starting the safari... has been excellent.
We have had Godson as a guide. He is not the most talkative man of all, but he is a very hard-working boy, who tries to find the best option for the group he leads. Furthermore, you can tell that he is enthusiastic about his work, he tries to take paths that others don't take and you end up seeing things that others don't see. He is also a very good driver. He seems very confident in what he does and says and knows his field very well. To be perfect he would need to be a little closer and explain a little more the things that are going to be done at each moment to be more informed, but in general we have been very comfortable and happy and thanks to him we have seen many animals and since a privileged place, which in the end is what we are all looking for on the safari.
Excellent
I recently returned from an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, and I can't recommend this tour company enough. Our guide, Lu, was exceptional—his extensive knowledge of the wildlife enriched every moment of our adventure. He was friendly and engaging, making the experience even more enjoyable as he expertly navigated the stunning landscapes of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
The lunch provided was both tasty and plentiful. I appreciated having a variety of drink options, from refreshing water to local beers, which added a nice touch to our days out in the bush.
Overall, this safari exceeded my expectations, and I can't thank Lu and the team enough for making it such a memorable experience.

Outstanding safari adventure!
We did a 5-day tour of Taranguire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The diversity of landscapes, animals and moments that we were able to see was incredible. And this was thanks in part to our guide, Godson, since he completely adapted to our interests, answered our questions with knowledge and always tried to find the best place so that we didn't miss a single detail.

Great customer service
We took the 6day budget camping Safari to Serengeti which included Ngorongoro crater Tarangarite and Lake Minyara.
From the very beginning they were able to answer all of are questions in a timely manner and calmed our nerves of an issues we may have had about the tour.
The available airport transfer was very helpful from Kilimanjaro Airport which is an hour away..
Our contact in Arush meet with us the night before to go over again what we will be doing
on the tour and answered our final questions.
Our guide, Simba, was very knowledgeable and did everything he could to find the animals we wanted to see. He heard what everyone was looking for and made it a point to take time with the animals we did see. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Hyenas, Wildebeest, Zebras, all sorts of Antelope, and many many birds. We even got to see the start of the migration, as they were heading to the river. Ever park was different but all had there Beauty.
The meals on the tour were all made fresh every day, even our lunch. They were all local dishes and the cheif was very accommodating to specific dietary needs as much as he could be with what food he had.
All meals were served family style on real dishes, silverware, no plastic utensil, and a table cloth.
If we had it to do again we would definitely do it. A once in a lifetime experience that you can't do anywhere else.

Exceptional tour guide with Omar
We went on a 5 day safari of which 4 were spent with tour guide Omar. Omar was amazing at helping us get all the perfect shots of all the animals and was super patient until everyone was happy. He was very patient and helpful, making sure everyone was well fed and organising lunch time.

Excellent experience !
Our safari experience with guides Omar and Joseph in Ngorongoro and Tarangire was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we set off on our adventure, their expertise and passion for wildlife and conservation were evident.
Ngorongoro Crater: Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater with Omar was like stepping into a wildlife paradise. His deep knowledge of the crater's ecosystem and its inhabitants brought each moment to life. We witnessed breathtaking scenes of lions lazing under acacia trees, elephants roaming gracefully, and the elusive black rhino making a rare appearance. Omar's ability to spot even the most camouflaged creatures added an exciting element to our journey.
Tarangire National Park: In Tarangire, Joseph's enthusiasm for the park's diverse birdlife and vast elephant herds was contagious. His understanding of animal behavior ensured we didn't miss any of the park's highlights, including spectacular sightings of giraffes feeding on acacia leaves and herds of wildebeest migrating across the plains. Joseph's anecdotes about the park's history and conservation efforts added depth to our experience.
Accommodations and Logistics: The logistics of our safari were seamless, thanks to their efficient planning and attention to detail. Our accommodations were comfortable and nestled perfectly within the natural beauty of each park, allowing us to unwind after exhilarating days of wildlife encounters.
Overall Experience: Our safari with Omar and Joseph exceeded all expectations. Their professionalism, combined with a genuine love for Tanzania's wildlife and ecosystems, made this journey unforgettable. We left with a deeper appreciation for conservation efforts and a treasure trove of memories that will last a lifetime.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend experiencing Ngorongoro and Tarangire with guides Omar and Joseph. Their expertise and passion truly make them exceptional guides in this stunning corner of Africa.

We had such a great time! Outstanding experience! We've seen a lot of animals in the beautiful national parks including the "big five".
Our trip was well organized and last but not least our Guide Derrick did an amazing job by showing us the great nature of Tansania.
We will surely come back!

Omar- Very patient, enthusiastic and knowledgable
Omar was a fantastic safari tour guide. We took a trip with him to lake Manyara national park. We had a full safari vehicle with 7 people and Omar was very patient, allowing everyone to get the camera shots that they wanted and even stayed until the park closed to allow us the most time with the animals.
He was always open to stopping and waiting for animals especially when they crossed the path. He kept everyone aware of our surroundings ensuring we stayed safe especially when a couple of elephants blocked our vehicle on the way out of the park.
Omar was a very enthusiastic and smiley guide and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a very calm and patient guide.
Asante Sana.

Great 2 day safari with the guide Omary, enthustiastic and proffessionell
I had a two day safari with Omary to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. Omary was professional and adapted after the situation and the group's desire. I was impressed how he could see and find animals so quickly. He liked to talk with a good sense of humour. I'd recommend this experience to anyone wanting a safari.
