Getting what you're paid for
What you would expect from a safari. Exciting sometimes, slow sometimes

Very well organised and responsive
We found the trip to be well organised with no hiccups. The food was great and so much of it! We had a great time and our guide/driver didn’t tire of us asking him to stop. I liked to variety of places we visited and overall I think the trip offered great value for money. We didn’t get to go to the Mara river but I would recommend that if time allows.

Budget
Serengeti African Tours Provided a budget 5 day camping safari that allowed my husband, our son, and me the opportunity to go on a safari together. Because of this option, we could afford for all three of us to go on safari, and we probably could not have been able to otherwise. If you choose this option, though, you must understand that you are on the budget tour. The food was just OK with the meals being pretty basic and the same each day, and we were served after other more expensive tours so often did not eat until 9 or so at night. The sleeping mats and sleeping bags are also pretty basic, so understand that, in Ngorogoro crater, it does get cold and you definitely will need to sleep in a warm coat to be warm enough. Also, to hit the 5 parks listed on the tour, it is a very vigorous schedule, and there is a lot of traveling over dusty and bumpy roads that are not very well maintained, so be prepared for this. My husband has a back problem, and we were not forewarned about the condition of the roads getting to the parks and within the parks. Be prepared for that, and if you have any health issues, definitely do not take this budget tour. Take a more expensive and leisurely tour that perhaps only includes the Serengeti and Ngorogoro with a more leisurely schedule and sleeping in a lodge for accommodation. I say all this only because we weren't ready for the intense pace and poor conditions of the roads and probably would have spent more and not done the budget camping tour. For young, healthy people who are used to roughing it and camping, it is fine, and it is affordable compared to other options. All that said and regardless of these challenges, my son and I had a wonderful time and awesome safari, and my husband only didn't so much because of his age and bad back. We all really liked our driver and guide, Bulldozer, who is very knowledgeable about the animals, the plants, the Masai people, the ecology of the area, and so many things. He now feels more like a Rafiki than just our tour guide. Truly exceptional! He tailors what he focuses on in the safari to what those in his group are most interested in and tries very hard to ensure that everyone has a good safari. Because of this and his many years of experience as a guide, we were able to see some truly amazing animals and their behaviors. For example, we ate our lunch on the last day next to two herds of elephants wallowing and bathing in the stream right next to us! Just jaw dropping and magical! We watched two lionesses fighting over a piece of zebra kill while their nine cubs chirped for food in the background! Again, jawdropping and amazing! Elephants walked right past our jeep! I could have touched them. Incredible! So, in short, we had an overall wonderful safari experience, and I recommend this company highly for the attention and care they give you. I would've liked to see better and more sanitary food storage in truly cold and working coolers (which is why I avoided the meat throughout the safari), but otherwise this company is great. Invioleta was super attentive, helpful,
and responsive throughout the booking and entire process and journey, and Bulldozer was an exceptional guide. I felt very cared for by both of them, and they went out of their way to provide an excellent safari. We will definitely book with them again. My son is young and healthy enough to do the budget one again. My husband and I will do a more upscale and leisurely one that accommodates our ages and health issues better. Thanks for all the magical animal encounters we had. We have some great memories now that we will cherish forever!

Would recommend!
Great value for money. Even though we booked a budget safari, it didn't feel like that at all. We had great guides, everyone was super friendly and helpful. We got to see all the animals and the beautiful nature. We definitely enjoyed the campsites in Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Only feedback we have: on a few occasions, we started our game drive 30-45 minutes later than planned. We didn't really know why, so it would have been nice to be informed of why we were delayed.
