This tour was life changing and amazing
Emanuel is a great man, he picked us up at the airport, got us sim cards and food. He made sure we had a great experience. The safari and game drives were mind blowing. The food was super yum, the sleeping arrangements were all comfortable. Everything was really smooth and according to plan. I expected less actually, but they exceeded my expectations.

Amazing Safari Trip
Our Safari trip was for 4 days and 3 nights. We did Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater safari which was perfectly organized by Emmanuel. He was very helpful with our demands and our needs and he responded immediately responded to our request, answered all questions, was flexible in terms of dates. He even helped me get a local sim card without any hassle which was a massive relief for me. We particularly liked the communication with the organizer.
Everything was included in the price - food, tents, transfer from Arusha, and back to Kilimanjaro airport (Emmanuel himself dropped us back in his car). 1 night in a nice hotel in Arusha before the safari, and the camping site at Panorama campsite, Simba campsite. One night we did our own private tented lodge in Serengeti and the driver dropped us and picked us up from the location which was half an hour away from the campsite.
The catering was impressive. My friend is strictly vegetarian and diabetic and the cook made sure she got her meal on time and cooked special meals for her. There were always full warm meals that were very good. We felt very comfortable because everything was really taken care of.
Thank you, Emmanuel and Crater Explorer team, for the awesome first safari experience in Tanzania.

A great Kilimanjaro climb followed by a wonderful Safari
Crater Explorer Tours & Safaris is great. We put together a 6 day safari ( Serengeti & Ngorongoro) and a Kilimanjaro climb. 2 big adventures and the Crater team was great. Their representative- Emanuel, was the reason we selected them. We interviewed 5 different tour groups and selected Crater because Emanuel was great to work with. He was able to clearly answer all our questions- and we had a million of them. He put together the exact packages we wanted and his prices were very good.
The group that took us up the mountain completely exceeded our expectations. At the end of each days climb we arrived to a fully set up camp complete with hot drinks and snacks. Our tent and dining are was quite comfortable and the food was great. We were so impressed with what the chef could create on the side of the mountain. And there was good fresh food throughout our 8 day trek. Our comfort and safety was constantly their concern. I highly recommend Crater Explorer Tours & Safaris and Emanuel for any and all your adventure needs. Emanuel can help you with just about anything and is a wonderful resource to have.

Brilliant organization! 3-Day Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater
Our Serengeti and Ngorongoro 3 days/2 nights safari was perfectly organized from the very beginning. Emmanuel immediately responded to our request, answered all questions, was flexible in terms of dates.
The safari itself was beyond expectations. Everything was included in the price (food, tents, transfer from / to Kilimanjaro airport, 2 nights in a nice hotel before and after safari, entrance to the national parks).
Professional driver Rocky knew where the animals were and told us a lot about each creature. Chef Salim prepared several delicious dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There were options for vegetarians.
We saw animals very close. Elephants and lions approached the car. Hyenas fought for food outside our tents in the camp. On the second night, wild buffalo and pumbas came to the camp. We saw thousands of zebras, wildebeest, huge birds, dozens of giraffes, elephants, hippos, lions, hyenas, jackals, buffalo, rhinos and many other animals, except for the leopard (next time ;)
Thank you, Emmanuel and Crater Explorer team, for the awesome first safari experience in Tanzania

Awesome, organisation was perfect!
We booked 3 days/2 nights and had a great time. We can only recommend the tour. We particularly liked the communication with the organizer. We were picked up from the airport and brought back again and stayed in a very good hotel for one night before and after the safari. We didn't expect that. We heard from other safari participants who booked through another agency that they had very bad hotels or had to pay $ 50 to upgrade.
The safari itself was very nice. The catering was impressive. There were always full warm meals that were very good. We felt very comfortable because everything was really taken care of.
We saw a lot of exotic animals and got great photos and videos.
We can recommend the tour and especially this provider to everyone.

7 night/8 day Lemosho Kilimanjaro
We feel so fortunate to have found Crater Explorer Tours And Safaris. We arrived in Arusha with plans to both climb Mt Kilimanjaro and do a safari. We interviewed several tour organizations and opted to go with Crater because of the confidence we felt in their representative Emanuel. He was professional, attentive and answered all our myriad questions.
We had a magical adventure. The crew that took us on our Kilimanjaro climb was fabulous. I’m not sure how it could have been better. Our guide, the chef and the porters were wonderful. They were fun. They were professional and surpassed all our expectations. Every time we arrived at camp, our tent was set up complete with covered alcove with table and chairs. Hot drinks and a snack were served straight away. Such a great way to end a big hike. Hot water for washing came next followed by the main meal. Speaking of food - we bought a bunch of snacks prior to leaving anticipating wanting to have something to snack on while hiking. We never got into it as they fed us remarkably well. Too well almost. There was always so much good food we feared putting weight on during the climb!
I would highly recommend Crater Explorer Tours And Safaris for all your adventurous needs in Tanzania. 5 Star for sure!
