Above both average and our initial expectations
We chose this agency on the basis of a friend’s recommendation who knew them because of direct experience. Needless to say, they confirmed and even overtaken our expectations. We opted for the lodge accommodations (we are not camping people) and I must say that our experience was really great. The price as well was super fair (also taken into account what we heard from other fellow travellers we met during our safari). Last but not least, our guide, Malisa was excellent and really made a difference in making our experience unforgettable.

Exellent experience of Big 5
We have 3-days safari with Crater Explorer. This was amazing journey. Emanuel met us in the Arusha airport and took us to the nice hotel in the centre of Arusha.
In the morning the driver took us from the hotel and we went to Serengeti. The road was really tough but our experienced driver did his best to take us on time. We had some stops for lunch and restrooms so the trip was not very hard.
We had two nights in camps: one in Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro. The driver and the chief did their best for keeping us happy, well-fed and well-sleep. In Ngorongoro zebras walked near the tents and in Serengeti - marabu and mongooses!
We have seen all the big 5: even the rhino, which is really hard to see! And leopard eating on the tree, lions with their prey, cheetah, elephants and hippos with their babies and so much more.
Everything was organised well, the food was delicious and the experience was really breathtaking! Thanks a lot.

All right
We did 3 day safari(2 nights camping and first and last night in hotel Arusha) in Tanzania:Serengeti, Ngorogoro. Company meet us from airport and delivered to hotel. In the morning driver-guide picked us from the hotel and we start our journey, later we picked up the chief. Driving was comfortable, cooking was excellent. Guide was very experienced in finding animals, we successfully found big five.

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.
