An unforgettable safari experience!
I went on a 4 days safari (group joining) with my wife for our honeymoon.
We booked the safari one day before the big day and we had no stress thanks to Mediane and Noel.
These two gentlemen inspire confidence and are very good at communicating, everything is clear and detailed.
Noel picked us up after midnight at Kilimanjaro airport and took us to a more than decent hotel in Arusha for the night.
Day 1 and 2
The next morning, after the delicious breakfast included, we boarded the Toyota LandCruiser, typical of safaris, comfortable, fully equipped, with wifi.
We met our driver/guide, Dalu, and our chef for the stay, Donald.
The guide was very good, smiling, welcoming and funny. The chef was incredible, we had dinners worthy of the best Tanzanian restaurants, he is professional and attentive, eager to please, you will eat well with him.
We started with a long day drive to the Serengeti National Park.
What to say about this park? The most beautiful experience of my life! The fauna and flora are fascinating and present in mass, we had the chance to see the Big 5 very quickly.
We slept in the campsites with tents, mattresses and sleeping bags provided by African Chitah, everything was clean and we could sleep very comfortably!
Beware of the cold at night, and the toilets/showers welcoming almost a hundred people per night.
Day 3: Ngorongoro National Park.
Magnificent crater and totally different flora, since we are closer to the jungle, the animals are not afraid and approach the cars.
Day 4.
Tarangire National Park.
This park allowed us to see elephants and giraffes even closer. But to be transparent, having seen so much in other parks, this one was less impressive.
The return trip was done in a very professional way.
Noel picked us up and brought us back to Arusha to spend the night at the hotel before the big return to France...
My wife absolutely wanted to buy fruits/vegetables in a local market before leaving and Noel was happy to drive us there, to advise us, to negotiate with us (even advancing us some money!)
To conclude, these guys are really professional, eager to provide the best experience possible and concerned about their reputation.
Special mention to Noel who made us travel with his energy and his smile, telling us lots of stories about the animals / tribes / the region.
We will definitely come back to them!
Thank you African Chitah

Quick response, easy communication and great value for money
Midan and Noel are friendly, funny, take care of everything and make sure you enjoy your trip. We got free transport from our accomodation back to Arusha airport, even though it was already a few days after the safari!
We had an unforgettable safari experience. We were lucky to see the big 5 and many other animals. Our guide Alex knew a lot about the animals and we felt very safe with him as our driver.
Both the lodges and the campsite were amazing: friendly and helpful staff, spacious rooms and good food! Having a beer next to a campfire in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by animals, with a sky full of stars is just mind-blowing.
Keep in mind that the distances between the parks are quite big, so a 4-day trip is really the minimum if you want to do Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Serengeti. The trip might feel a bit rushed sometimes, but it is totally worth it and you will get to see an insane amount of animals anyway!

Excellent service from African Chitah
My sister and I had an amazing Safari experience doing the mid range 3-day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We could not have asked for a better guide and driver, Alex, whom we highly recommend. We were a group
of 6 in total, and hit it off right away. The luxury tent and farm accommodation at Pamoja (Serengeti and Karatu) was better than we expected; comfortable, excellent service and food and very friendly staff. We always felt safe with Alex on the road and had no safety concerns. I’d recommend African Chitah anyway. It was an unforgettable experience, 5*!!!

Most amazing and authentic safari experience
The staff of African Cheetah is amazing and gave us the best safari experience we could dream off.
Thank you Noël for driving us, sharing dinner with us while discovering your Maasai stories. You have become a real friend!
Thank you Luka and the chef for showing us the wonderful wildlife and nature of Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Not only did we see all the big five, we explored the whole region with a smile on our face.
Our only recommendation would be to share some more rules and tips for the campsite, as we did not expect to be sleeping in the middle of a buffalo fight and lions territory. But it is a great story to tell.
Thank you again!

Trustworthy provider. They make sure, you enjoy the safari.
I went on a 4 days safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) and booked through Midian about 2 weeks before the Safari. Communication with Midian was very easy though WhatsApp. He also organised my pickup from Moshi with Noel, a fun Kilimanjaro expert who gave me so many local insights.
I had a great safari experience, the guides Mike and Jacob went above and beyond to show us numerous animals including the great migration.
It must be noted, that Chitah collaborates with other Safari providers and I experienced that their quality standard varies. During the four days, I was guided by two providers and had some quality issues with one of them. I discussed with Midian and we found a very good solution. Midian and Noel really made sure, I enjoyed my trip to the fullest. Thank you!
Also, Precion Air went bezerk with spontaneously changing airport and flight time few hours ahead. Chitah/ Noel helped me out big time.
Thank you!

Fabulous and Affordable!
Easy to communicate with and professional. I saw the Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorogoro in a 4 day safari.
Thank you so much, Midian and everyone who took us all to see the big 5!

Fantastic experience!
We highly recommend safari booking with African Cheetah to anyone willing to discover Tanzania’s beauty and people!
Midian was always available for any request or specific question we had before the trip and organized us a tailor-made 4-day tour with an escape at Kilimandjaro golf! Communication was very easy and his attentive follow-up even during the safari was much appreciated. Price was more than correct in comparison with other agencies. All our expectations were fulfilled. Zero bad surprise.
Both Luka and Noel, our guide/driver, were also great!! Luka has a deep on-the-ground knowledge about the savannah’s wildlife and great respect for animals. He did his best so that we can spot the most possible animals! Driving was safe even though we had tropical rain all along the first day of trip.
Noel was very friendly and funny! He told us many interesting stories about today’s Masai life as a representative of his community.
Definitely the trip of a lifetime thanks to African Cheetah! ‘Asante sana’ to all the team once again for your great job!!!!

Perfect
Asante sana for the best trip. Everything was organized perfectly and the communication was fast and easy. Nickson was the best guide we could ask for. He was driving safe all the time and the best in spotting animals. He made sure that we had the best experience and saw as much as possible. He also had incredible knowledge about the wildlife. The food and the chef were outstanding as well. Best food we had in the whole of Tansania!
I highly recommend booking with African Cheetah. We had the best experience!
Thank you very much again.

It was a really authentic and amazing journey!
We really enjoyed travelling with African Chitah, especially the best tour Guide Noel.
We learned so much about the tansanian culture such as the Massai.
All travels were very spontaneously for a fair price!
We can only recommend this organization, if you want to experience a great time!
Best regards,
Lisa and Stefan
