The tour was expensive, but it was worth it! Our guide Calvin easily noticing hiding animals and was thoroughly explaining their features and behaviour. The hotel services was excelent. Visiting local tribes was very memorable.

Reliable, attentive, friendly, feels like high quality of work is essencial for him
5/5

It was our first visit to the Central Africa . Tanzania was almost completely unknown to me and to my wife. Initially we were distressed, because our turistic company failed to organize a meeting in the airport and transfer, by later everything was solved by night phone call to the representative. The hotels were perfect. The driver and guide, Calvin Johnatan, was a very attentive guide and a confidend driver , which was necessary due to specific road conditions in the national parks we visited for safaries. All parks : Tarangiri, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro are different in nature and animals . All the “ big five”- lions, elefants, buffalo, and even leopard and Rhyno - were spotted not to mention the antilopes, girafed, monkeys and hypopotams. In addition, we visited masaji village and participated in local bushmens hunt . The trip is highly recommended for all who wants to feel Africa.

5/5

First experience in Africa, first safari… everything wonderful!!!

Perfect organization and above all fantastic our guide Petter, who in an excellent “Italian” accompanied us throughout the trip, giving us wonderful sightings!!
Very helpful and knowledgeable guy… we had a lot of chats, laughs… I never would have thought of singing in Italian with a Tanzanian in the Serengeti 😂 !!!
We did the 6-day Safari, visiting the major parks, Arusha, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire.
The route is well organized with excellent resorts and the tented cape.
Fridge in the car for drinks and snacks always at hand.
Lunch in the picnic area always with a cooked meal (all the other groups we saw had lunch packs) with plates, cutlery and glasses!!
During the safari we had a small problem with the jeep roof, but with two phone calls Petter solved everything!!

The trip is definitely challenging due to the distances but it is absolutely worth it.

I absolutely recommend Safari Avventura and of course Petter.

Calvin Fransic the best
5/5

Calvin Fransic was my guide during the whole stay and it was really great!!! He answered all my questions, there was a good atmosphere and we had a really good laugh!
In addition to all the explanations about the animals he told me the history of Tanzania and I even learned a little Swahili
And frankly thanks to him I will come back
If you are looking for a guide who speaks really good French and/or Italian to make you understand I recommend him with my eyes closed

5/5

Incredible safari! Calvin is a guide who listens, benevolent and passionate about what he does. He was able to give us a lot of interesting information about the animals in the different parks. The 3 days of safari are always done in a good mood with a smile. Calvin was able to respond to our various requests and therefore was able to adapt the days according to our needs. I recommend Calvin as a guide and the Safari Avventura agency.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!
5/5

A beautiful and unforgettable experience!
In our 5-day Safari we traveled through the 3 main national parks of Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire). Everything was organized to perfection: from our arrival at the airport to our departure. The lodges where we stayed left us speechless, not to mention the jeep.

Words cannot explain the emotion of seeing the big 5 just a step away from us.

A special thanks to our guide MAINER, who made us live unforgettable memories, always with a smile on his lips!
And a thank you also to our adventure companions Camilla, Michele, Beatrice and Davide, without whom it would not have been the same.

Asante sana Tanzania!

An unforgettable experience
5/5

First of all I would like to thank the Safari Avventura team for this dream stay! Particularly Enrico who accompanied us at the time of the quote and our various requests (we started the process barely a month before the start of our stay, to tell you that he was very responsive!!!), and Calvin, our guide, who was great in every way!
With 8 years of work as a guide, he knows the roads very well, the animals' favorite places and drove us everywhere in complete safety. Bilingual in French, we had precise explanations and were also able to discuss various subjects easily throughout the stay. He taught us several words in Swahili such as the names of the animals, the meaning of the names of the reserves and the customs of the Massai for example.
He was able to answer all our questions, guided us through the savannah while driving the spacious 4x4 while spotting the animals that we had not seen. In the 4x4 we were treated to free drinks throughout the stay + some treats.
We visited... Read more 4 reserves (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire) all in 6 days on a very well-built route so that we lost as little time as possible on the road!!
The lodges we slept in were very comfortable and even high-end!
For the Serengeti for example we slept in the reserve surrounded by animals and always well protected. I will keep an unforgettable memory of it.
For the picnics I say bravo because we were always treated to a real meal consisting of succulent cooked dishes, where sometimes our peers from other safari agencies only had sandwiches.
During our safari we were lucky enough to see the Big 5: lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants and even rhinoceroses while it is very rare to see them!!! Thank you Calvin 💪🏼
For our last evening we were able to sleep at the Lions Paw Lodge and were treated to the most beautiful sunset of my life.
From A to Z I recommend Safari Avventura for your future safaris!!! Of all those we consulted, this is the one who was able to answer us the fastest, who was able to make himself available for calls to best organize our stay and to best respond to our requests (especially for prices and accommodation). In terms of quality/price ratio, it is also the best agency we have found! Note that in the end everyone ends up in the same places.
I can say that our 6-day stay in Tanzania for this safari is among my best trips, partly thanks to the entire Safari Avventura team!!!
Thank you for everything, when we come back we will definitely go with them!!!!

Incredible
5/5

To begin with, communication was excellent with the organizer and the safari guide. Calvin Francis is an exceptional guide he is young and very invested in his work. He listened to us throughout our 3-day safari. We were very lucky and we were able to observe a lot of beautiful things. We will surely come back one day and we advise you without any hesitation safariavventura!
