The best Safari I have ever had
Going on a Safari is a once in a lifetime experience and the people at Oreteti made sure we enjoyed our time to the fullest. Joseph was in charge of organizing our day to day activities and everyday was full with exploration. My wife and I were constantly visiting different parts of Tanzania and experiencing it's diverse wildlife.
Our driver Ronaldo made us feel very safe and comfortable. Ronaldo was very knowledgeable on the wildlife along with the history of the country, I would definitely recommend using him for a Safari.
Oreteti as a whole is an amazing and professional company. I am very greatful for the experience they provided for my wife and I as we will never forget our trip with them.

Best Trip Ever!
Joseph of Oreteti Safari designed a great Tanzania itinerary for us. Over 12 days we visited the vastly different landscapes of Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Northern and Central Serengeti. To see so many magnificent, free-roaming animals was a dream come true, and to be witness to the great Wildebeest Migration was beyond anything I could have imagined.
There were 12 of us on this trip, and not all of us were in peak condition. Our skilled, knowledgeable, and personable drivers, Raymond and Ronaldo, were extremely responsive to our needs and requests and we felt comfortable and safe with them at all times. Also, to best meet our varied needs, Joseph arranged accommodations that were on the cushy side, from luxurious safari tent camps with ample hot running water and divine beds to resort accommodations with manicured lawns and sparkling swimming pools. Our food requirements were also challenging, but that was accommodated as well. Apart from our desire to focus primarily on Tanzania’s magnificent parks and wildlife, we requested an introduction to some local culture. Joseph arranged a visit to a local public school where we exchanged a few songs with a large class of young students. We also visited some of the amazing women of Lifted Strong in Arusha, where we talked about the pressing issues faced by many young Tanzanian women, and together we cooked and enjoyed a traditional meal. Toward the end of the trip we were graciously shown around a Masai Village, and we visited a small Datoga Village where we shared a question and answer conversation with several women via a translator, and we met some of the few remaining members of the Hadze hunter-gatherer tribe near Lake Eyasi.
In summary, it was an incredible experience, and thanks goes to Oreteti Safari Travel for arranging everything in such a way that all of us, ranging in age from 9 to 80, could thoroughly enjoy each and every day.

Caring, knowledgeable, does what it takes to provide an excellent, safe, unique experience.
I recently returned from a fabulous Safari in Tanzania with 11 old friends and family. Our travel agent and friend had put together a 12 day sojourn and tapped a local Safari company, Oreteti Tours (www.oretetisafari.com), to make it happen. It was a huge success. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, the Serengeti and of course saw breathtaking wildlife. We also met members of local tribes, which was a welcome and unexpected addition to the usual safari itinerary. Our diverse group, ages 9 to 82, all came away feeling that it was an incredible, once in a lifetime trip.
Oreteti is a well known and highly rated Safari Tour Company. Its owner, Joseph, Masai by birth, took personal interest in our little group and spent time with us, relating stories of his unique upbringing. He selected boutique hotels and migration camps for us that were extremely hospitable, ultra clean, and very attentive to our many needs. Our guides/drivers, Renaldo and Raymond, were very knowledgeable about the animals and also shared insights into the culture of Tanzania. They were uniquely gifted in spotting animals (Renaldo, please forgive us for questioning the presence of that leopard in the tree!). And, of course, they were hyper vigilant as to our safety at all times. Yes, we saw all the major animals. Yes, we saw the wildebeest migration on two separate days and from several different animals. We are back now, and I am missing the great beasts, and the people of Tanzania, and our guides!

I had a wonderful - near perfect! - tour of northern Tanzania with Oreteti Safari Ltd!
Earlier this summer I had a fantastic 12-day safari tour in Tanzania. Thanks to the Oreteti Safari Ltd. tour company the trip was way beyond what I had hoped for. In varied habitats, from jungles to the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro crater, we saw all the animals on our list – including numerous giraffes, elephants, lions, zebras, baboons, gazelles, impalas, cheetahs, hippopotamus, ostriches, the elusive leopards and rhinoceros - and more! In the northern region of Serengeti National Park we were very fortunate to see the awesome migration of thousands of wildebeest across the Mara River. We also had fascinating visits to the villages of three local tribes. The Oreteti drivers/guides, Raymond and Renaldo, were wonderful - they knew where the animals would be, had endless patience in answering our questions, and generally took great care of us. We also appreciated the personal attention of Oreteti's owner Joseph. We enjoyed the accommodations (lodges in the towns and tented camps in the Serengeti); they were very comfortable and provided excellent meals. Overall it was a wonderful experience – if I could I would go back for another tour with Oreteti next year!

Very Very pleasantly surprised
14 wonderful days with Oreteti Tours! I, having never been in Africa or South America, was very paranoid about diseases, insects, and whatever else I had heard about. Turns out, early July in Tanzania is fabulous; 83 degrees F high each day, jacket cool each night, ZERO mosquitos, zero biting flies, amazing wildlife. I'm a bit of a birder, and Raymond (one of the drivers) had a local thick bird book (and experience) to help me ID about 55 new birds. I would recommend Joseph and Oreteti Tours without reservations... the days were long, but the accommodations were very good and we saw incredible amounts of wildlife.
