Excellent experience! Highly recommend
I highly recommend Crater Explorer!
Very good organization and communication.
Emmanuel was very responsive, professional and helpful in planning my trip.
And even if I had a limited time, I was able to do all the activities that I wanted to do thanks to Crater Explorer.
Everything went as planned, from the pick up at the airport, transfers to the accommodation and activities meeting points.
The safari in itself was amazing. I joined a great group and we saw lots of animals and beautiful landscape.
Camping in the wild was a great expererience and the food was delicious.
I also visited the Chemka hotsprings and Materuni waterfalls which were very beautiful and the coffee tour and local lunch were such a nice cultural experience.
I would definitely book with Crater Explorer again.

Highly recommend!
I had an amazing experience with Crater Tours. Despite being a small company without their own 4x4s, Emanuel's coordination with different drivers ensured a seamless safari to Tangarire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro. His proactive approach to trip planning made it a top-notch adventure. I would definitely book with them again!

Easy and safe
I participated in a group safari as single person, and it was great to be together with other people, sharing experiences. The safari was well organised and it was easy to communicate with Emanuel and the guide Simon. I can recommend Crater Explorer.

Wonderful safari experience, with brilliantly friendly guides
Great safari experience! Beautiful location, well organised. The guides were exceptionally friendly and pointed out animals, whilst also giving us a good background to the area. The food was great and made by the chef (stomach engineer) Emmanuel, who was a great addition to our trip.
We managed to see all of the big five, alongside staying in fabulous locations with beautiful views, right in the heart of the parks.
The only issue we had was on payment - we were asked to pay in cash (without prior warning) and then, when we naturally didn’t have such a large amount of dollars on us, we were made to pay 5% extra for using card, which was a significant sum of money.
Aside from that, it was a wonderful trip and we would fully recommend!

Good value for money
I got the 4 day 3 nights tour. The tour also includes night 0 and the night where your safari ends so it's quite a good value. They can also do airport transfer for USD25.
The safari is good. The first 2 nights, we stayed in camps. I suggest to bring your travel pillow. We had a budget lodge for the third night. Food is great!
Some tips
- Do bring warm clothes for the cool nights
- bring a scarf or mask for the dusty roads.
- For Tarangire, I recommend you bring insect spray and wear long pants and dress in brighter colors because there are tsetse flies there.
- mind the roof of the jeep - ensure that you keep fixing it to keep it up.
- the Jeep may malfunction at some points, but the guides are equipped to fix them so don't panic.
Enjoy!

Amazing Safari
I went on a 4 day safari organized by Crater Explorer and it was better than expected. The organization worked flawlessly, the guide (David) and cook (Emanuel) were super friendly and professional. We got to see a ton of animals, eat great food and enjoy every moment of this trip.
Totally recommend it!

Professional and friendly
Emanuel was the guy I contacted with. He was really helpful and welcoming. The Safari was amazing. The driver/tour guide was very experienced and professional. Although the communication was a little challenging due to language barrier, it did not make the whole journey bad at all. I was in a group of 7, and we saw so many wild animals and amazing views. It was a great experience.
Everything was arranged to perfection
It was a 3 day trip to Serengeti and ngongoro crater . We spotted a plethora of animals and got some good pictures, the food was delicious as well. While camping in the night we could hear lions, hyenas and it was amazing. For me it was a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks to crater explores

The Tour was perfectly planed.
Unforgettable experiences! We have nothing to complain about from start to finish - the organization, the communication with Emanuel, the selected lodges, the safari guides - all five out of five stars! We choose the 3-day safari (Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater) and absolutely loved it.
We can only recommend the young Crater Explorer company and would choose them again next time!
