Unforgettable experience. 4 days unique
We passed 4 days with Cya, Daoudi and Amadi, it was very nice.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Enough to see all we expected.
The night we slept in the middle of Serengeti was magic
I recommand this trip!

Friendly, resourceful and widely experienced tour guide
Siya, our tour guide is really a close profesional, and highly oriented in the joy of their customers. Initially we planned to have a shorter safari but we decided to extent it some additional days, and it was clearly a excellent decision.
We went from Arusha up to Mara river to see the wildebeest crossing (Tarangine, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti)
We travelled with Siya and his staff and it was an unforgettable experience!! Although we were lucky with the animals, he has a sixth sense spotting them. He just knows where to go to find the right stuff.
Fair price for a budget safari.
Great experience, extremely recommended

Best Safaris & Best guide
This was our first safaris and we loved every moment of it! In only 3 days, we were so lucky and see all the big 5, including also rhino, leopard and cheetah too!
We were also lucky to see the ngorongoro crater in a not cloudy weather!
So so exiting and very recommended!
Bahati Safaris offered us the best guide that spotted for us all the animals and the best hospitality in Arusha!
Thanks for this incredible experience that we'll never forget!

Loved the Tanzanian Adventure and Company
We, a family of 4, obtained Bahati Safaris' contact from a friend who recommended it. We wrote via Whatsapp and got an immediate answer from Siya Matemu, the owner and guide. Once we could give him dates of arrival and departure plus our expectations of the visit to Tanzania, he was swift and efficient in providing different alternatives for an 8-day safari… In addition, once we settled in a trip, Siya did all the reservations, plane tickets, and other expenses with us only sending him a copy of our plane tickets to Tanzania: airport pickup and hotel in Dar Es Salam, plane tickets to Arusha, hotel reservations in Zanzibar + transportation, etc. From a logistics point of view, everything worked out perfectly.
The safari itself was so much more than what we were expecting: Arusha, Tarangire, Hatzabe and Datoga tribe visits near Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, lake Natron, and the climb to Ol Doinyo Lengai with reasonable driving times and as many stops as we wanted with a good balance of camping and hotels. While in the parks we often realized that we were among the first to arrive at interesting animal sightings which tells a lot about the guide’s instincts.
Siya was our guide and driver during the safari, and Hamad was our cook. We had a great time with both of them chatting about so many things about Tanzania and our own country. Siya’s English is very good and his knowledge of the local fauna is huge.
Every day before hitting the road we would have a full breakfast which included fruits, pancakes, and eggs, and after a full day, Hamad would have some meal for us which was often local.
Overall, we loved Tanzania and this is due greatly because of Siya and Hamad; we are looking forward to going back and we will definitely hire Bahati Safaris again

Our guide was probably one of the nicest people ive ever met. friendly,smart,willing.
Firstly our driver/guide (Faradji) was like i said one of the nicest people on the planet. he was able to answer any question hes been asked, always knew everything about anything not just animal and nature stuff, but also questions about living situations and the people of Africa. We were always at the right place at the right time. I never imagined i would see this many animals from very close distances. His driving was on another level as well (really good driver). Couldnt wish for a better guide and the same goes for the chef (Yassin), the food was even better then in the restaurants, our chef was versatile with the food, breakfast was most of the time same but really delicious, lunches were always 10/10. for example i am not the biggest fan of lamb everytime i tasted it i never really liked it but yassin made the best lamb ive ever tasted a the goes for the chicken. he just never missed.and also his staff was always smiling, friendly,always on time as well. food was balanced and always really delicious. overall our guide was not 5/5 he was 11/10 and our chef was the same 11/10. if youre thinking about going and are worried about anything, just dont be these guys got everything covered. The best trip ive been on.

Great Safari for a smaller budget
Had a great 3 day Safari with Bahati. First day we went to Serengeti and saw loads of animals including Lions that had just caught a zebra and elephants. We camped in the park and the cook prepared an excellently meal. Second day we did an early game drive and saw more lions, 2 leopards mating and a cheetah. But also elephants, zebras and many other animals. Our guide Stuart was great. We camped at the crater and the third day we did a game drive in the Ngorongoro crater. Again saw many animals and our guide Stuart spotted 2 black rhinos. So with Bahati we managed to see the Big 5 and more!

We took a 5 day tour with my family with 5 kids from arusha to 4 national parks: Tarangiri, 2 days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and last day in Lake Manyara. Very nice and friendly guide/driver. Also very knowledgeable about the fauna, areas and nature in general and overall professional behavior including safe and careful driving.

safari tour 5 days
Siya is a great guide, with a great experience.
We had the chance to discover a lot of Tanzania with him. The safari trip was amazing and Sia tried to meet our expectations every time we asked for something. Also, we had the chance to have a personal chief recommended by Siya, which was a great addition to the trip.
We definitely recommend Sia and Bahati Safari for a safari tour it’s definitely the best in town !

Wonderful safari experience
Wonderful safari experience with our guide (Siya, BAHATI SAFAIRI'S manager) and his cook (Hamad). Both are great guys, simple and professional. Every day we had nice breakfast, lunch and diners made by Hamad. We had one breakfast and one lunch in the middle of nowhere (we agreed to it, always on safe places). The lodge booked by Siya was align with our expectations. As proposed by Siya, we recommend having only one place to stay. It simplifies logistics for all gives more time for the safari game.Every days Siya found animals to observe, most of the time we were few vehicles at the same place, several times we were alone with lions, cheetahs, zebras or giraffes. It was just unbelievable. We saw a tribe of 100 to 200 elephants, an ongoing line of gnus and zebra migrating to SERENTI, a 7 lions family resting in the middle of nowhere, lots of cheetahs, lots of zebras, gazelles, impalas, buffalos, hyenas and hippopotamus. We also saw a rhinoceros (using binoculars), a wild cat, leopards, flamingos, and lots of different birds.On top of the safari, Siya organize the airport pick-up (at Kilimajaro), the first hotel night, a Massai village visit and a local village visit. In total, we spend 3 days and nights in SERENGETI and one day in NGORONGO crater. For our family (4 people) it was the perfect timing.

A great safari with Bahati company
We went on a safari a couple of weeks ago, it was amazing.
Siya, the guide is excellent! Besides driving very well, he is very attentive to the clients and their needs. Also, he is very careful to show animals and thanks to him we could see a lot of different animals, some very close. Lions and cheetahs crossed the road, but we were never afraid.
We were also accompanied by a cook, Mister Bean, very kind and patient, he also made pizza for us because we are Italian!
The accommodations were all comfortable, even the tents, and the days flew, always accompanied by explanations about the places we were visiting.
We hope to be back soon!
We sincerly recommend Bahati Company!
