Excellent experience
5/5

We went on a 4-day safari with them and it really was incredible. We have visited 3 parks and we have seen all the animals possible, a unique experience.
Noel has been super attentive to us and has been in communication with us all the time.
Really very cordial and I recommend it 100%

Noel is energetic and professional . He responded our requests and questions promptly.
5/5

He answered our request of the safari trip right after I summited my inquiry. All my questions were answered. Our plan has been changed slightly and he explained clearly and honestly. We are supposed to stay in rent all three nights and we ended up only one night in tent without any extra pay. After the Safari trip he showed us around in Arusha. He is funny and easy to get along .

4 day Tanzania Safari: Local operator raised in a Masai tribe.
5/5

This being our 3rd trip to Safari in Africa we didn't think it could possibly get any better, we were pleasantly surprised because we were even more spoiled by the terrific timing of unique animal sighting experiences, wonderful weather, and our magnificent driver/guide Mahlisa who was very personable and spoke English clearly. Realizing the weather and animals are not in our control keeps us humble in how fortunate we were to have the best of both, and getting assigned to a guide with 16 years experience certainly helped get us to the right place at the right time on many occasions. Our decision to choose the mid range package of accommodations was perfect for us. Our lodging experience went from the least luxurious to the most, however; the itinerary wasn't originally set up that way as it was changed due to a group that cancelled their trip. No complaint on our end for that! Upon arrival we stayed one night at Karibu Heritage before starting our Safari, and one night after finishing our Safari - Not impressed with their lack of adherence to time commitments. When you tell them you are getting picked up at 6:30 a.m. and are assured you can have breakfast at 6 a.m. don't expect the cook to arrive until 6:30 and you eat while your jeep waits! Happened twice at that hotel, but the accommodations were fine. Shuhudia Adventure Tented Lodge was nice as far as luxury tent camping goes. Clean and comfortable bed, bathroom in your tent with a shower, hot water and enough pressure to get the water through the pipes, but don't expect a massaging shower head. Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge had good food in a nice lodge and the room had a nice view of the jungle and a back deck to relax on. Be forwarned, if it rains, the metal roof makes it sound a lot worse than it is. We were worried about the tent campers traveling with us because of what we thought was a torrential downpour at night and they hardly new it rained! Our last night was the best at Marera Valley Lodge for comfort and a pool. Staff was accommodating and the lodge was very well kept and clean. Bookending our trip was the tour operator Nole. After picking us up at the airport upon our arrival, informing us of itinerary changes he left us in the hands of our Driver/guide Mahlissa. At the conclusion of our tour Nole helped us arrange a day trip to the Materuni Falls and Coffee plantation where we ground and roasted our own beans for coffee and had lunch, then dropped us back at the airport. He was in contact with us before our arrival and kept us informed about any changes, as well as helped with any info we needed along the way. His love for his job shows through his actions and his desire to educate about the Masai culture and history was an added bonus for us. What we paid for the trip was well worth it for us.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We did midrange 4 days Tarangire- Serengeti-Ngorongoro safari and thought it started with a misunderstanding, we eventually had an unforgettable experience. Both Noel and our driver Jerom did their best to ensure that we see as many animals as possible, be accomodated in the good places and have fun. Noel even spent a half of a day at the airport waiting to receive our lost luggage while were doing our safari. Thanks for everything! Should we come back for safari in Tanzania, Serengeti Luxury Safaris will definitely be our first choice.

My very honest review about a 4 days Safari.
5/5

Let's start from the basics:
I am a big review fan, so I take reviews VERY seriously. What you will read in the next lines is 100% my POV.

The tour operator:
I found the agency through the website. I wrote to 3 agencies first and at the end I decided to book through this one, in particular through Noel.
Me and my boyfriend booked a mid-range 4 days Safari through Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro.

Noel answered very fast, at every hour. He is a reliable operator, who always had the answer to my doubts. He made sure we got the right car on the right moment and everything was planned perfectly. He even came to our hotel after the safari just to see us in person and say hello!! Can you believe that??

The tour:
We had to start with Tarangire but our tour has been changed due to our flight change. It happens, but they made sure we see everything we booked.
I had an amazing time. Like the best vacation of my life, no jokes. An experience I will never forget. Me and the group (6 in total + our guide + our chef) are now friends and promised to see each other again. And that's the best gift an experience can give to you.
But what makes a Safari unforgettable? The right guide. Of you don't get the right guide your expectations can be disappointed.

Our highlight:
If you're seeking a fantastic safari experience in Tanzania, look no further than the guide Luttiba. Ask for him when you book. He just made us bond together. Our adventure through Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to his expertise and dedication.
Luttiba's punctuality ensured we made the most of every moment, even during long drives. His commitment to providing the best experience possible was evident as he navigated the wilderness, offering insights and spotting wildlife with precision.
Beyond his professionalism, Luttiba's humor and respect created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our journey. It felt like exploring with a knowledgeable friend who genuinely cared about ensuring our enjoyment. We laughed, we danced, we shared stories, we got emotional.

In short, Luttiba was truly the highlight of our trip. If you're looking for a guide who embodies everything you could wish for on a safari – reliability, humor, respect, and expertise – Luttiba is the perfect choice.

The food was fantastic also thanks to the Chef David, sich a talented and nice guy, I hope you will have the change to taste his FANTASTIC food.

At the accommodation everybody was nice, we made new friends.

Thank you, Noel, Luttiba and David, for giving us the best time of our lives. We will never forget you.

Asante sana,
hakuna matata!!

Everithing was perfect.
5/5

The best Safari ever with Luttiba, our guide gave 110% to let us enjoy this experience to the maximum. Honestly it is very important. Remember: if you have the wrong guide, you can get disappointed by your safari. With Luttiba the professionalism and happiness are ensured. I ll never stop being thankful for these days. As well Noel was really accomodating and always available, days and night. It is really worth it.

Perfect from start to finish
5/5

I choose the 4-Day Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari tour. Noel was a great help with booking the tour, answering any questions I had and helping me to book hotels prior to the Safari. The price was good and it was great value in comparison to some other options I looked at. All the lodges we stayed at were great and the food was delicious! Luka, our ranger was impeccable, his knowledge about the parks, animals and everything in between was amazing! Overall an amazing experience, finding the big 5 and so much more!
