Amazing experience! Highly recommend
The safari experience was incredible! The driver was so passionate about his job making sure we get to see all animals whilst the chef’s incredible food was an unexpected highlight of this trip. Would definitely recommend booking with Crater

Unforgettable experience
Our safari with Crater Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! The team exceeded all expectations, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Emmanuel was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and passionate, making sure every aspect of our trip was perfect.
Not only was the food amazing—fresh, delicious, and plentiful—but the team also worked tirelessly to show us the incredible wildlife these parks have to offer. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we were incredibly lucky to see the Big 5, along with countless other animals. It felt like a dream come true!
I can’t recommend Crater Safari highly enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences made this journey truly magical. If you’re planning a safari, look no further—Crater Safari is the way to go!
Great overall service
I booked a Kilimanjaro climb throuh Crater Explorer and was very satisfird with communication, price, personal attention, team of guides, cook and porters and the entire experience provided. The team was very experienced and took great care of me throughout the trip. Pricing was transparent, communication clear and included hotel accomodation before and after the climb as well as airport pick up. Tour operator arranged for sleeping bag rental and personally came to the hotel to discuss details and make guide introductions. I had a wonderful experiemce.

Well organised and excellent value
I can’t recommend crater explorers highly enough, if you are searching for the best place to book your safari trip on a budget look no further.
Emmanuel was kind, helpful and answered all of my queries promptly. The trip was well organised, with everything taken care of for you so you don’t have to stress and can just fully enjoy the experience. We saw 4 of the big 5, including some intense encounters with elephants and lions, whilst always feeling safe. You can’t believe how many wild animals you see in the Serengeti and Ngorogoro is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been
The campsites were ideal with the tents pre erected with good facilities. The food was plentiful tasty and clean thanks to chef Titus. Our guide Lewis was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying it.
I think the pricing is with crater is very competitive, I was worried that it might be cheaper to book in Tanzania itself but I checked with a few... Read more local places once I landed and was only quoted much higher prices than paid with Emmanuel. Also from asking around whilst on safari it seems crater explores do the best deal

They helped me make big 5 dream came true
This is one of the best operators in Arusha. The driver and guide is very excellent and experienced. He helped me find the big 5 and got closer to the animal in a friendly way as possible as he can. I appreciated his help. Emanuel, the manager is kind and helpful. He tried his best to meet my requirements! Thank you for your service!

Great Safari
Our safari experience was great! The staff was well organized, and all communication, handled via WhatsApp, was smooth and efficient. The tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals and the parks.
We chose a camping safari and visited Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Serengeti. The sights were incredible, and we were lucky enough to see the Big 5 along with so many other animals. The food provided was excellent, and the camping logistics were good managed.
The company collaborates with smaller operators, but this did not affect the quality at all. In fact, the partner company we encountered had top reviews, and their service matched our expectations. Overall, the experience offered exceptional value for money, and I would highly recommend booking with this company for your safari adventure!

Highly recommended
I had an amazing experience with this safari company! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the communication via WhatsApp made the planning seamless. The team was professional and friendly, and our tour guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the wildlife.
We visited the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Serengeti National Parks on a camping safari and saw the Big 5 along with countless other animals. The food was delicious, and the camping experience was well-arranged and comfortable.
Although the company collaborates with smaller safari operators, this was absolutely no issue. The partner company we interacted with also had great reviews and met the same high standards. Overall, the price-performance ratio was excellent, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania!

Perfect safari experience
We spent 3 nights 4 days in safari. We enjoyed more than half day in safari everyday, and we have completed BIG5 on the 3rd day!
You can enjoy safari even on the 1st and the last day and be satisfied:)
I won’t forget these 4 days, thanks a lot!

Strongly recommended
I think this is the best tour company to book a safari tour with. I met amazing animals and made friends on this tour. Although the places you visit may be the same no matter which tour you book, if you choose this tour company, you will have a trouble-free, comfortable and great time at a reasonable price. Emanuel is kind, responsible and professional, and takes care of all the details, from airport transfers to arranging hotels in Arusha before and after the tour. I will definitely choose this tour company if I come here again.

We had a good contact with Emanuel, who made sure we knew all about the safari
The communication Washington very good! We Phoned with Emanuel about the tour, and he quickly made sure everything was in order! He greeted us at the hotel upon arrival, and also when we got back from the safari. So very good communication.
The tour itself was amazing. Our guide, Charles and our cook Emanuel made sure everything was just perfect!
Charles is a very good driver, who drives very safely and do everything he can to find the animal.
Emanuel made the food, which was very good!
I would recommend craterexplorer!
