Amazing experience, lovely safari guide and chef
5/5

We did a 5 day safari through tarangire national park, Serengeti national park, ngorongoro crater national park and lake manyara national park, our safari guide Simon was so lovely and helpful, getting us amazing views of a range of animals and allowing ample time to stop and take photos, also very educational, answering any questions we had. The meals were perfect provided by our great chef Pascoe who made our breakfast lunch and dinner everyday! Massive thank you to them for making our safari experience so memorable.

3 night safari
5/5

We did a 3 night safari and it was absolutely incredible. Our driver and guide Calvin was super friendly, helpful, informative and we managed to spot the big 5! :)
The company sorted everything from accommodation, food, airport transfer etc. I would defo recommend and book with them again if I came back to Tanzania.
As an add on you can do the hot air balloon experience which I would say is a must. It initially seems pricey but it is well worth the money!|

It has been an incredible and unforgettable experience.
5/5

Our safari experience has been wonderful. It has been just as we expected. Makini has helped us whenever we needed it and made our safari as comfortable as possible. We have seen many animals thanks to our guide Elías, who is a great professional, very friendly and a great driver.
The accommodation in the campsites has been good, everything was always ready upon our arrival. Our cook has always been attentive and the food was always good. In general, we can only say that it has been an unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

Unforgettable Safari in Serengeti National Park
5/5

【Good】
- I had an incredibly valuable experience that I will never forget in my life! Thank you so much.
- Despite booking the tour the day before my trip, the quick response from the staff allowed me to make a smooth reservation.
- The tour members were all great people, which made me feel very comfortable and allowed me to fully enjoy the experience.
- I had always dreamed of setting foot in the motherland of humanity at least once in my life, and seeing the vast panoramic view of the open plains with my own eyes. It was a thrilling experience.
- The meals provided were hearty and delicious, allowing me to enjoy a satisfying dining experience.
- The hospitality of the tour company was excellent. In particular, Naomi was very considerate, speaking with me kindly, showing me around the local market, and negotiating with Tanzanians who couldn’t speak English. I was very pleased with her hospitality.

【Requests】
- I would have appreciated it if I had been informed of the tour schedule beforehand (at the quotation stage), such as what time we needed to wake up in the morning. Since we were told the schedule for the next day only on the night before, I was worried each night whether I would get enough sleep.
- On the first day, I was told that I could take a shower, but the shower only had cold water, which was too cold, so I couldn’t use it.

【To those planning to go on a safari in Serengeti National Park】
- The temperature difference between day and night is significant, so I recommend bringing warm clothing. If you tend to get cold easily, you might need a down jacket for the night.
- Always keep your valuables with you. One of the tour members had their USD stolen while they were eating lunch, leaving it in the safari car.
- There are souvenir shops along the tour, but the prices are generally high, so I wouldn’t recommend them. There are some souvenir sections inside the departure gate at Kilimanjaro Airport. If you ask the tour company, they might guide you to a local market.
- The departure procedures at Kilimanjaro Airport take a long time, and it’s not possible to line up in an orderly manner. I recommend arriving at the airport with plenty of time to spare.
- At Addis Ababa Airport (Ethiopia) during the layover, my return flight was delayed by a full day due to overbooking by the airport. I recommend planning your return schedule with extra time in mind.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We knew this was going to be a great safari from the start at Nancy was extremely communicative and helpful when we were asking questions about the safari. Her responses were very fast and she was will willing to accommodate all of our needs.

The actual safari was absolutely amazing. Our guide David ensured that we saw all of the animals and was so informative about all of the national parks. He had a great sense of humour and really made the whole trip special. Our chef was called Matthew and his food was delicious, he planned everything to perfection and we were never hungry!

I would highly recommend this tour and would advise asking for David and Matthew!
