Amazing safari day
Incredible experience in the hands of Explorian Safaris. we hired a one-day safari tour through Taranguire Park. Our driver picked us up at the hotel very promptly, and we headed to the park for the safari. Safari at a good price that included lunch and drinks. The driver knew where to find animals and knew the species very well. when hiring the safari we did it directly from Spain where the company made things easier for us at all times. They responded quickly and were very attentive! thank you very much for making us spend an unforgettable day. Alfons, Julia and Paula

We had a wonderful time in Tansania and a great safari.
First of all. The most important fact for a great safari is the guide. Our guide Elli was fantastic. Such a friendly, helpful and polite guide. We always felt save with him as a driver. We noticed, he wanted us to have a great time and we were lucky to have him beside us. Be nice to your guides! This is such a hard job. So long working days. Without good guides - no good safaris!
The planned tour from Fahima and Atif was good. We liked Arusha NP, Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara. We saw so beautiful wild-life and nature. Amazing!
Just the walking safari in the Ngorongoro Highlands we would not recommend to others.
The most accomodations were realy good. We liked the tented camp in the Serengeti, Bougainvillea Lodge and the Coffe Lodge. The people everywhere were nice.
Just a notice - maybe a little cool box in the car - just for water, would be great.
We will cheerish the experience for a long time. Thank you for your help, the nice communication (fast replys and good infos before the tour, clear pricing…) and the best greetings to Elli. He is in our hearts.

10/10 communication, driving, knowledge of the area and safety! The best trip I’ve had in a longtime
If you want to sit back and be guided by a respectful, conscience professional then look no further I cannot stress this enough you have found your guide!

Fantastic safari with our guided Ayubu
We had the best two day Safari with our guide Ayubu. We went to the Nngorongoro crater and Tarangire National Park - both were fantastic locations. Our guide was really knowledgeable and told us lots of information about all the animals we spotted. He listened to use carefully and made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to. I would definitley recommend booking with this company.

Absolutely amazing! Explorian Safaris go above and beyond to give a once in a lifetime experience!
We had the privilege of doing a two day / one night safari with Explorian Safaris visiting the Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
This was a once in a lifetime experience and we cannot thank Atif and our guide Ayubu enough for organising and taking us on this amazing two day safari!
We arranged the safari very last minute however Atif very kindly and quickly (outside normal working hours!) provided us with a detailed itinerary of the two day safari they offered. Our guide, Ayubu, picked us up from our hotel at the agreed time, which was early morning to enable us to have as much time as possible on the first day of the safari at the Tarangire National Park. Our guide Ayubu was really knowledgable and we learnt so much about the animals we saw! The one night stay at the Flamingo Lodge Hotel was brilliant, the food and hotel room was lovely, and the staff were really welcoming! The hotel staff even really kindly prepared breakfast for us extra early so we could again make the most of our second day! The second day at the Ngorongoro Crater was a once in a lifetime experience, if you go on safari in Tanzania the scenery here is spectacular!
We’d like to give a special shout out to Ayubu. Ayubu was absolutely brilliant, his knowledge of the safaris he has taken us on is outstanding! During each of the days he really took the time to give us very detailed and interesting information about the animals, the different areas etc. He was a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to have spent the two days with him. Ayubu went above and beyond to ensure the safari was an amazing experience and we can’t thank him enough!
We can’t recommend this Explorian Safari’s highly enough!

The company could benefit from updating their equipment. Shop around.
Communication was quick but it was troubling that the lodges advertised, one of the reason this company was chosen, were suddenly unavailable once the deposit was made. Even after a change to those accommodations there was a further change. The first and last accommodations were phenomenal but the second was below the standard of any place I stayed in Tanzania despite being called a luxury lodge. I am not sure if the driver was skilled or just very lucky. The speed at which we travelled on dirt roads in my opinion far exceeded the capabilities of the vehicle and placed my safety at risk. It was difficult to appreciate the stunning animals and the incredible scenery while veering across the road avoiding oncoming vehicles who were in their own lane.

Posted on Sep 16, 2024Hi Patrick,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the recent safari experience. We truly value your input and would like to address the points you've raised:
We sincerely apologize for the changes in lodges. During the high season in August, accommodations fill up rapidly, and lodges only confirm reservations once payment is received. Unfortunately, credit/debit card transactions can take up to 3 days to process, which may have led to the unavailability of the originally selected lodges. Despite our best efforts to secure top-tier accommodations, we regret that one of the lodges did not meet your expectations.
Your safety is our utmost priority. Following your feedback, we have taken immediate action and have terminated our employment contract with the driver. All our drivers are strictly instructed to adhere to park speed limits, and we will ensure that this is rigorously enforced going forward.
Thank you once again for bringing these matters to our attention. We are committed to improving our services and hope to provide a better experience in the future.
Warm regards,
Azhar Gafoor
