Unforgettable 3 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
The 3-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater safari was beyond anything I had expected. Emmanuel (the tour operator) was prompt, responsive, and went above and beyond to help us with our needs. Our guide, Justo, was a great driver and spotter of animals—he knew when to be patient and when to move on. Our cook made us fantastic homemade meals—they were balanced with protein, vegetables & fruits, and carbohydrates. My gut stayed happy the entire trip.
The accommodation in Arusha was safe, expedient, and comfortable (we also had a view of Mt Meru). The restaurant served excellent buffet breakfast and the service was impeccable.
Last but not least, the experience of visiting wild animals in their natural habitat was breathtaking. Some animals (monkeys and zebras) opted to visit us humans on the campsite ;) The photos speak for themselves.
Overall, I give Emmanuel and his team 5 big stars. Highly recommend!

highly recommend this company
If you are looking for a safari tour, I highly recommend this company. I compared and contacted several tour companies even before I came to Tanzania, and this company was the cheapest. The staff were very kind and gave me a detailed answer. Before the tour, they picked me up at Arusha Airport and dropped me at Arusha's accommodation. After the tour, they took me from Arusha's accommodation to Kilimanjaro Airport. It was a very quick and detailed answer to the tour-related inquiries, and it was a choice without regret. The tour guides were very good at finding animals

Exceptional professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Flexible and always going the extra mile
Both the office staff and the staff in the field were extremely helpful.
The Crater Explorer team is reliable, always puts safety 1st and always going the extra mile.
We booked both the 6 day safari and Machame trekking with them and everything went flawless, as a clockwork.
We definitely will organise our next trip to Tanzania through them again!!

Friendly, kind and well organised
Firstly, I am happy to experience big 5 :)
1) Driver/Guide is Friendly, patient, kind and well experienced. He has shown us Animals close up and explained history of National parks and Tanzania culture. He knew each and every path of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro park (believe in me it’s really hard to know each and every path of these big National parks) (5/5)
2) Chef is awesome ( vegetarians and non-vegetarian friendly dishes) Serving, presentation and Taste is very good (5/5)
3) The Crater explorer Tours team explained each and every step before reserving the trip. They organised the trip the way they explained before reservation. 100% satisfied.
4) They have offered Day before and Day after Safari free hotel accommodation.
Free Airport pick up and drop off. They are on time for total trip.
I highly recommend this trip to all wild life Safari lovers :)

perfect, friendly, well organized, kind
It was an amazing trip ! The nature and animals we got to see are really stunning! All covered places are really worth seeing them.
Its a very special experience and worth every single dollar!
The guides did an awesome job: they showed and explained many things, were there for us in any needs, contributed to a lovely atmosphere within the group and were really well organized. The food was overwhelmingy good.
Also I was amazed by having washroom facilities in the camp.
Already before the actual Safari-Tour we got really good service: Very quick and nice communication, airport pick up and drop off as well as hotel room on the day before and after the trip.

Once in a lifetime experience
My wife and I had an incredible Safari experience and we would both highly recommend Crater Explorer Tours.
Our accommodation was fantastic and if we are being honest, better than we had hoped for.
Emanuel our tour operator was always available if we had any questions, so we always felt like we knew what was going on through the whole trip.
The safaris themselves are a must see for anyone and a real bucket list experience.
Overall we felt 100% safe and assured the whole time and would not hesitate to recommend.

Tour was amazing, to see all that animals is very emotional
Organization of the tour from airport to Safari and back was on very good level. Our guide and driver John was wunderful, knowledgable about the nature and animals. We really enjoyed his company and sence of humour. Our cook Emanuel prepared allways tasty meals for us. We travelled whole family with children low budget Safari and slept in tents surrounded by wild animals. It was amazing experience. To travel with company Crater Explorer is not mistake. Fully recommended by us.

Great adventure Safari Tour, easy booking and nice contact, Safari with other Company
We (German couple 25-30 years) booked a Safari tour with crater experience and really enjoyed the trip. The conversation and booking was very easy and the reply to any questions we had very quick. We got picked up from the airport and had a overnight stay before the safari departure. We really recommand that as it was not stressy at all. We went on safari with a different company as they sometime put small groups together. The company was great but anyway we would like it more the be informed about this Plan by booking. We enjoyed the Game drives and the food was very good. Also After Safari there was a nice contact and help with shuttle services and pick up. Thanks for this experience.

Unforgettable safari experience
Our 4-day safari perfectly organized by Emmanuel and led by the exceptional guide, Tuma, surpassed all expectations. Tuma's knowledge ensured incredible wildlife sightings. Every meal was freshly cooked and very delicious. For me and my girlfriend this first safari was an unforgettable experience. Can't wait to come back.. Highly recommended!
