Awesome!!!!!
5/5

This was one of the most amazing trips I’ve ever taken. As an academic wildlife researcher, I had high hopes but low expectations. CE surpassed them all. Our group saw every major mammal, and dozens of unique and beautiful birds. Emanuel was a fantastic organizer, Floridi was a wonderful guide, and Tito was a fantastic chef. 5 stars!

very well organized !
5/5

Incredible experience! Emmanuel has been here for us from the beginning until the end. He answered to all of our requests. During the safari, everything was perfect and well organized. We have seen the big five and many others animals. The landscapes are amazing and animals have so much to offers to us. David, the guide really loves his job and he shared everything about animals with us.
Moreover, the food is really really good!! the chef cooks very well!
I would like to thanks Emmanuel and his team for everything I will never forget this Safari ☺️

Wonderful safari experience
5/5

We did a 3 days safari in Serengeti/Ngorongoro and it was so nice. The guide was David and he was so nice, he explained us a lot of things during the safari and answered to all our questions. We saw the big 5 very close to us and a lot of animals. The chef was coocking for us every day and it was so good. Emmanuel was also very nice and helpfull and available at all Time. I really recommend to do a safari with Carter explorer. Hope to Come back soon

Best safari ever!
5/5

Emanuel is a great person and he did everything he could to provide me with a great safari experience. Starting from the first contact (online and whatsapp) he was very available for all requested explainations and clarifications about the safari. Then he perfectly respected the plans. The game drive was conducted by a driver together with the chef. The driver was very good to find animals in the parks (all big5!) and the chef provided me with breakfast, lunches and dinners very well done, furthermore cooked in the middle of nowhere. The experience in the campings is very wild but it is worth it, actually!
I would highly recommend Emanuel and his staff to my friends.
Thanks again for this unvaluable experience.
I will do again, sooner or later

Great tour with knowledgeable and friendly driver and good cook.
5/5

I was looking for a tour to book so i reached out to a few companies. Emmanuel was quick to respond to me and called me to provide me the details of what I was interested in. He was answering every single question i had on Whatsapp. I did the Lodge option for 4 days which i would highly recommend over the camping option if camping outside is not for you.
Emmanuel really provided me the itinerary of the trip with all the lodges that I would be staying at. The driver Joseph was AMAZING, he made sure that we saw as much as we could, he has an amazing eyesight and could spot animals from a long distance and take us there. We also had a cook accompanying us (Nathan) and I was extremely satisfied on the quality of food he was able to make, especially in the middle of nowhere. We always had some salad, main dishes and fruits or desert. Nathan always made quality and tasty food. The safari experience was something of a lifetime we saw all big 5 and much more. Ngorongoro felt like heaven especially with the sunrise. I would never forget this and would recommend to friends.

They made sure I was able to experience Tanzania to the fullest
5/5

I LOVE SERENGETI. Thanks so much to Crater Explorer Tours for getting us set up with such a great safari. They were really flexible and accommodating for our trip and made sure we were able to see the parks after Kilimanjaro. Saw all the big 5 and also determined my own Ugly 5 haha. Our driver was really patient and knowledgeable about all our animal questions. Would recommend Crater Explorers and working with Emmanuel for anyone looking to explore Tanzania!

We did a camping tour and it was so awesome actually sleeping in the midst of these parks. I felt safe but also a part of the action. We saw giraffe pass by our tents as the sun set! Food was delish, there was always hot water for coffee, and we got surprise wine to share over dinner! 10/10

A remarkable experience
5/5

Firstly, I booked this safari for early January 2022, but had to reschedule for COVID-related reasons. Emanuel was very accommodating and got me into a group for the same safari in late February, on the exact day I needed in order to fit the excursion into my new itinerary. Secondly, while the seven of us (two couples and three solo travellers) participating in this trek had all originally booked with different safari organizers (I with Crater Explorer), and I don’t know if we were put together by design or by chance, but it was a fantastic bunch; we had almost ceaseless conversations and laughs through the long drives and over meals.

Also part of our group was George, the amazing driver and guide we were assigned to. Not only did he know the name and facts about every animal we saw, he was an affable guy, as well as very adept at getting a land cruiser out of a muddy rut! And, while which animals one sees is a matter of chance, George also tried his best to seek out as many as he could. In the end, we viewed cheetah, African buffalo, yellow baboons, black rhinoceros, African leopard, Giraffe, lions, African bush elephants, spotted hyena, jackals, Thomson’s gazelles, bat eared fox, hippopotamus, cape hare, Grant’s zebra, masai ostriches, marabou stork, secretarybirds, kori bustards, crowned cranes, superb starling, African sacred ibis, lesser flamingoes, helmeted guineafowl, and probably others I’m forgetting. Each of us had a seat by a window and the pop-up roof was open often.

Camping in Serengeti National Park and on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater is an unmatchable experience. I wasn’t particularly pleased to find I had to share a tent with one of the other solo guys in the group. But, it was tolerable for two nights. The food was what one would expect on a camping trip.

All-in-all I’m really pleased I embarked on this safari.
